`
`Dragon Intellectual Property, LLC (“Dragon”) would provide Unified Patents with
`
`discovery requests, which Dragon did on September 30, 2014. The parties met and
`
`conferred on October 2, 2014. During that conversation, counsel for Unified
`
`Patents stated that Unified Patents would not respond to written discovery requests
`
`that sought information about members of Unified Patents that were suppliers to
`
`defendants in the Dragon Litigation (defined below) on the basis that Unified
`
`Patents does not know whether (or if) any of its members are suppliers of DVR
`
`devices or software for DVR devices to defendants in the Dragon Litigation.
`
`Unified Patents also stated that it would not provide written responses to discovery
`
`requests that sought information about the facts and circumstances under which
`
`Unified Patents became aware of Dragon or the Dragon patent that is the subject of
`
`this proceeding, or communications with parties other than members of Unified
`
`Patents regarding Dragon or the Dragon patent that is the subject of this litigation.
`
`The discovery requests below are requests to which Unified Patents has agreed to
`
`respond, and reflect Unified Patents’ edits to the original discovery requests
`
`Dragon provided on September 30, 2014.
