`Mangrove v. VirnetX
`Trial IPR2015-01047

`
`
`
`Interrogatory No. 1:
`
`Identify and describe communications and/or agreements that were not
`reduced to writing pertaining to Ward Dietrich’s involvement in the
`preparation and filing of the Petitions and/or control or ability to control the
`preparation and filing of the Petitions.
`
`Petitioner’s Response to Interrogatory No. 1:
`
`Petitioner objects to this interrogatory as unduly burdensome in that it
`
`requests a list and description of specific oral communications that occurred
`
`approximately a year ago and to the extent it calls for information covered
`
`by the attorney-client privilege and/or the work-product doctrine.
`
`Subject to its objections, Petitioner responds as follows:
`
`Based upon a diligent investigation, Petitioner is not aware of any
`
`“agreements” that were not reduced to writing pertaining to Ward Dietrich’s
`
`involvement in the preparation and filing of the Petitions and/or control or
`
`ability to control the preparation and filing of the Petitions.
`
`
`
`
`
`As to other communications, after a diligent investigation, Petitioner
`
`is unaware of any specific oral conversation that was not reduced to writing
`
`regarding Mr. Dietrich’s involvement in the preparation and filing of the
`
`Petitions and/or control or ability to control the preparation and filing of the
`
`Petitions to which both Mr. Dietrich, on the one hand, and any outside

`
`
`counsel for Petitioner or technical expert Dr. Roch Guerin, on the other
`
`hand, was a party.
`
`It is likely that Mr. Dietrich had one or more oral conversations that
`
`were not immediately reduced to writing with Nathaniel August and/or Jeff
`
`Kalicka pertaining to Mr. Dietrich’s involvement in the preparation and
`
`filing of the Petitions. However, after a diligent investigation, Petitioner
`
`cannot identify the parties, date, or content of any specific oral
`
`communication that occurred approximately a year ago. Petitioner generally
`
`states that Mr. Dietrich was directed by Nathaniel August to review and
`
`provide feedback on drafts related to the filing of IPR Petitions IPR2015-
`
`01046 and IPR2014-01047, and in fact did so as reflected in the written e-
`
`mail record that has been produced. Petitioner believes that any such oral
`
`communication that was not reduced to writing at the time is consistent with
`
`and largely, if not entirely, duplicative of the written e-mail record that has
`
`been produced.
