`RE: IPR2016-01111, -01112, and -01113
`
`Dear John,
`
`Petitioner interprets the email below as a service of interrogatories impermissibly seeking additional
`discovery in violation of the respective Boards’ Orders of 31 August 2016 denying Patent Owners’
`respective motions for additional discovery. Petitioner in its oppositions to Patent Owners’ motions
`explained in detail its position on additional discovery. Accordingly, Petitioner will not respond to the
`interrogatories.
`
`Based upon the first paragraph of your email below, Patent Owners have a quarrel with a sentence in
`the Boards’ Decision. Petitioner declines to comment on the sentence-at-issue. Any questions
`regarding the Orders should be addressed with the Boards.
`
`Regards,
`
`Jeff
`

`
`Dear Jeffery,
`
`The Board’s recent decisions denying motions for additional discovery in the above-referenced IPR’s contain
`the following statement: “With respect to Patent Owner’s second and third Requests for Production, Petitioner
`
`1
`
`Dr. Reddy's Labs. v. Indivior UK Ltd, IPR2016-01113
`INDIVIOR EX. 2026 - 1/2
`
`
`
`represents that no responsive documents exist. Opp. 18.” We believe that this statement regarding Petitioner’s
`representation is incorrect.
`
`Petitioner’s response to category 2 of Patent Owners’ requests states the following: “Notwithstanding this
`objection and the objections of category (1), and subject to them, no correspondence or communications
`directed to terms sheets or letters of intent exist. No common interest agreements or other agreements related
`to the Agreement prior to the execution of the “definitive agreement” identified in category (1) exist.” We do not
`read Petitioner’s response as representing that no responsive documents exist. For example, category 2 of
`Patent Owners’ requests call for correspondence or communications related to the “definitive agreement.” We
`do not read Petitioner’s response as representing that there is no correspondence or communications between
`the parties that ultimately led to the executed definitive agreement, as this would be difficult, if not impossible,
`to imagine in practice.
`
`Accordingly, we are seeking clarification regarding Petitioner’s response to category 2 of Patent Owners’
`requests, and we ask that Petitioner provide answers to the following questions so that we may assess the
`accuracy of the Board’s statement. We request your answers by 10:00 AM Eastern time on September 12,
`2016, which should be achievable given the diligence you have previously done on these issues.
`
`(1) Does Petitioner represent that no documents responsive to category 2 exist?
`
`(2) Does any correspondence or communication related to the “definitive agreement” exist? For clarity, this
`category includes any correspondence or communication, prior to execution of the “definitive agreement,”
`regarding the subject matter of the transaction memorialized in the “definitive agreement.” Put another way,
`correspondence and communication leading up to the execution of the “definitive agreement” are related to the
`“definitive agreement” even though they occurred prior to execution.
`
`(3) Do any drafts of the “definitive agreement” exist?
`
`(4) Does any correspondence or communication related to any drafts of the “definitive agreement” exist?
`
`Regards,
`
