`
`PLAINTIFF DESTINATION MATERNITY CORPORATION’S
`OBJECTIONS AND SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSES TO
`DEFENDANT’S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES
`
`Plaintiff, Destination Maternity Corporation (“DMC”), by and through its attorneys,
`
`pursuant to Rules 26 and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the local Civil Rules of
`
`the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, hereby sets forth its
`
`objections and first supplemental responses to the First Set of Interrogatories from Defendant
`
`Target Corporation (“Target”) to DMC (“Interrogatories”).
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS TO INTERROGATORIES
`
`DMC incorporates herein its General Objections from its November 16, 2011
`
`interrogatory responses.
`
`I.
`
`INTERROGATORIES
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 1
`Identify and describe in detail the dates, All persons
`involved with, and All Documents supporting the first conception, the first reduction to practice,
`any diligence between the first conception and the first reduction to practice, the first private use,
`the first public use, and the first sale of the subject matter of each of the Asserted Claims in the

`

`
`seeks expert opinion or testimony. DMC will provide its invalidity rebuttal positions, including
`
`contentions related to secondary considerations of non-obviousness, in response to relevant
`
`Target invalidity contentions. Subject to and without waiving any of the foregoing objections,
`
`DMC responds as follows:
`
`The secondary considerations that evidences nonobviousness include commercial
`
`success, long-felt-but-unsolved needs, and copying by competitors. For example, various DMC
`
`competitors, including Target, copied and sold the design embodied in the Patents-in-Suit.
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 14
`Identify and describe in complete detail All U.S. and
`Foreign publications, patents, patent applications, inventions by a Third Party, uses, sales or
`offers of sale, and disclosures including, but not limited to, Any U.S. or Foreign technical papers,
`product specifications, product manuals, design drawings, and product catalogs that have been
`considered by, or that have been brought to the attention of, DMC, Any owner, assignee, or
`licensee of Any of the Patents-in-Suit, or Any U.S. or Foreign patent agent or attorney acting on
`behalf of DMC or Any owner, assignee, or licensee of Any of the Patents-in-Suit, as being
`possible or actual Prior Art to one or more of the Patents-in-Suit; and produce All Documents,
`Things, and ESI Relating to the subject matter of this interrogatory and/or Your response hereto.
`
`Response to Interrogatory No. 14:
`
`In addition to its General Objections, DMC objects to this Interrogatory as compound and
`
`containing multiple discrete subparts. DMC further objects to this Interrogatory as overly broad,
`
`unduly burdensome and seeking information that is neither relevant to any claim or defense in
`
`this action nor reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. DMC
`
`further objects on the grounds that it calls for legal determinations and seeks information
`
`protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or work product doctrine. Subject to and without
`
`waiving any of the foregoing objections, DMC responds as follows:
`
`Patent Ref.
`No.
