`
`Mike:
`
`We’ve responded to the non-objectionable portions of your inquiry. We reached out to Ms. Fradenburg’s
`counsel promptly after receiving your request for her deposition, and learned late last week that she would not
`appear voluntarily. At that point, we obtained Dr. Pfister’s availability. If you intend to move forward with Dr.
`Pfister on the 22nd, please let us know today. Otherwise, he will need to release that day from his schedule to
`accommodate other commitments.
`
`The remainder of your inquiry seems to be based on flawed assumptions.
`
`Regards,
`
`Eliot D. Williams

`
`Eliot,
`
`Thank you for the comments. However, that is not fully responsive to my inquiry. When you procured Ms. Fradenburg’s
`direct testimony on behalf of Hughes, was she instructed she would be required to appear for cross-examination if
`called? When did you first request she be made available for a deposition? Ms. Fradenburg is a Hughes witness, so I’m
`trying to understand how and why Hughes has put itself in this position. I am also trying to understand why it took you
`so long to bring this to my attention.
`
`Thanks in advance.
`
`
`- Mike

`
`Ms. Fradenburg is an employee of the University of Texas, a non-party, whom we understand to be
`represented by the University’s legal affairs office. We have requested the University of Texas, via its Legal
`Affairs Office, to make Ms. Fradenburg available for a deposition. Counsel for the University responded that
`she would not appear voluntarily, and that subpoena would be required to secure her appearance.
`
`Please let us know if you intend to move forward with the deposition of Dr. Pfister on the 22nd. His
`availability is limited.

`
`Eliot,
`
`Thank you for the response. Although I am a bit confused – did you not instruct Ms. Fradenburg at the time of obtaining
`her direct testimony that she would be required to appear for cross-examination if called? Also, please clarify precisely
`what attempts you’ve made to gain her appearance.
`
`Best regards,

`Michael:
`
`We have attempted to schedule the deposition of Ms. Fradenburg, but she is unwilling to appear
`voluntarily. To the extent Patent Owner would like her deposition, we suggest that you request issuance of a
`subpoena to compel her deposition. See Marvell v. IV, IPR2014-00553, Paper 28 (April 8, 2015). We also
`question whether the authenticity and publication date of the reference at issue is genuinely in dispute in this
`proceeding.
`
`Regarding Dr. Pfister’s availability, we can make him available at our offices in Palo Alto on July 22nd. As that
`would be slightly outside the typical time for completing the deposition, we would be amenable to a slight
`adjustment to the due dates in the current schedule. Let us know if you would like to propose such a
`modification.
`
`Regards,
`
`Eliot D. Williams

`
`Eliot,
`
`We would like to schedule cross-examination of the witnesses who provided affidavit testimony in support of the
`EchoStar/Hughes petition. As you know, Rule 42.53(d)(2) prescribes that the party requesting cross-examination
`testimony choose the order in which the witnesses are to be cross-examined. As such, we will cross the witnesses in the
`following order, beginning with Ms. Fradenburg.
`
`
`• Robin Fradenburg
`• Dr. Pfister
`
`
`Please provide us with dates on which the witnesses can be made available for cross-examination. You’ll recall that the
`period for cross concludes on July 21st based on the scheduling order.
`
`Best regards,
`
