`
`PLAINTIFF ROBERT BOSCH LLC’S AMENDED
`RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT COSTCO WHOLESALE
`CORPORATION’S FIRST SET OF INTERROGATORIES (NO. 1)
`
`Pursuant to Rules 26 and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff Robert
`
`Bosch LLC (“Bosch”), by and through its attorneys, hereby amends its response to Interrogatory
`
`No. 1 of defendant Costco Wholesale Corporation’s (“Costco”) First Set of Interrogatories (Nos.
`
`1–3). Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(e), Bosch reserves the right to further
`
`supplement and/or amend its response.
`
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`
`
`
`Bosch incorporates herein the General Objections in Bosch’s Objections and Responses
`
`to Costco Wholesale Corporation’s First Set of Interrogatories (Nos. 1–3) served on March 30,
`
`2015.
`
`SPECIFIC OBJECTIONS AND RESPONSES
`
`INTERROGATORY NO. 1:
`
`
`Identify each product made, imported, offered for sale, or sold, by or for Bosch
`(meaning Plaintiff or any related entity), or licensed or otherwise authorized by Bosch, that
`
`
`
`
`Robert Bosch Exhibit 2014 - Page 1
`COSTCO (Petitioner) v. ROBERT BOSCH (Patent Owner)
`IPR2016-00034; IPR2016-00036; IPR2016-00038;
`IPR2016-00039; IPR2016-00040; IPR2016-00041
`
`

`
`embodies or practices at least one claim of a patent asserted in this action, state the dates each
`such product was imported into or sold in the United States, identify each product that was
`marked with the number of an asserted patent (and state how and when), identify each
`agreement that reflects, or refers or relates to, the manufacture, importation, marketing, sale,
`supply or licensing of any product that embodies or practices at least one claim of a asserted
`patent or that is marked with its number, and identify by name and position each person with
`knowledge of such agreements or marking. The identification of a product should include all
`identifying information used by Bosch or its customers, including without limitation trade
`name, internal name, part number and SKU.
`
`AMENDED RESPONSE:
`
`Bosch objects to this Interrogatory because it contains at least five discrete subparts.
`
`Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(a)(1), Bosch will limit its answers to the first 25 written
`
`Interrogatories, including all discrete subparts.
`
`Bosch also objects to this Interrogatory to the extent that the terms “made, imported,
`
`offered for sale, or sold … for Bosch,” “otherwise authorized by Bosch,” and “reflects, or refers
`
`or relates to” render it vague and ambiguous.
`
`Bosch objects to this Interrogatory to the extent that it calls for confidential
`
`information of one or more third parties to whom an obligation of confidentiality is owed.
`
`Bosch cannot provide such information until after necessary consents have been obtained from
`
`any third party to whom an obligation of confidentiality is owed.
`
`Bosch objects to this Interrogatory to the extent that it seeks information that is protected
`
`by the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, and/or any other applicable privilege
`
`or immunity.
`
`Subject to and without waiving its General Objections and the foregoing specific
`
`objections, and subject to its right to revise, amend, correct, supplement, modify, or clarify its
`
`response:
