`
`Sarah,

`Addressing your points in turn:

`
`(1) IPR counsel agree to be bound by the district court’s protective order (with the agreed
`exception concerning the prosecution bar not being triggered) for the documents identified
`in my earlier email.

`(2) We confirm that to the extent any document is filed, it will be filed under seal and we will
`take all necessary precautions to ensure the documents remain confidential.

`(3) Thank you for agreeing to the limited use of these documents in the IPRs, and thank you for
`confirming that reviewing these documents will not trigger the prosecution bar. 
`

`If this is acceptable to Microsoft, we do not believe a meet and confer is necessary.

`Best regards,
`Sean

`Sean,
`
`We have some concerns about the use of these confidential Microsoft documents in the IPR
`proceedings. First, you have not indicated whether Philips’ IPR counsel is bound by the Protective Order
`
`Microsoft, Ex. 1030, Page 1 of 5
`Microsoft et al. v. Philips, IPR2017-01766
`
`

`

`entered in the district court case. Can you confirm that IPR counsel is, in fact, bound by the PO?
`
`Second, we note that there is, as yet, no protective order in the IPR proceedings. We understand that
`you intend to file any documents under seal and take all necessary precautions to ensure the documents
`remain confidential. We expect that these documents will remain confidential and will not be available to
`the public. Please confirm.
`
`Finally, we note that Paragraph 5 of the Protective Order prohibits the use of confidential material for any
`purpose other than use in the district court litigations. This use falls within that prohibition. In the interest
`of facilitating the PTAB’s full review of Philips’ request for discovery, however, we are willing to agree to a
`limited use of these documents in the IPRs, so long as they are not used for any other extra-litigation
`purpose. To this end, Philips may share these materials with outside IPR counsel who are bound by the
`district court’s Protective Order and who maintain the confidentiality of the documents, and we agree that
`reviewing these documents and filing them under seal with the PTAB will not trigger the prosecution bar.
`This agreement applies only to the specific documents you have identified in your message.

`Please let us know if you still believe that a meet and confer is necessary, and if so, we can check
`availability.
`
`Regards,
`Sarah

`Microsoft Counsel,

`As you are probably aware, yesterday the PTAB authorized Philips to file a motion by November 1,
`2017 for additional discovery in IPR2017-00890, -01754, and -01766 relating to (1) whether and to
`what extent a relationship exists between Microsoft and HTC with respect to the current IPR
`proceedings, and (2) whether and to what extent a relationship exists between the instant
`Petitioners (HTC and Microsoft) and the petitioners in earlier inter partes review proceedings,
`namely Google, Acer, and ASUS.  In particular, the PTAB stated that Patent Owner, in its motion,
`should “specifically identify[] the evidence already in Patent Owner’s possession tending to show
`beyond mere speculation that something useful will be uncovered by the request.” See IPR2017-
`00890, Paper 11, at 3 (emphasis added).  However, paragraph 14 of the Protective Order (D.I. 132 in
`Case No. 15-1170) currently prohibits us from sharing certain documents with the attorneys involved
`in the IPRs because they are marked “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY,” and thus
`we may be hindered from complying with the PTAB’s order. 

`While we believe the below-identified materials do not trigger the prosecution bar of paragraph 14
`because they would fall into documents not classified as Prosecution Bar Materials, namely “(i)
`documents and information related only to damages or reasonable royalty rates,” out of an
`abundance of caution we would like your written consent to allow the attorneys working on the IPR
`to view, without triggering the prosecution bar of the protective order, the agreements between
`Microsoft and Acer, and between Microsoft and ASUS.  To be clear, the attorneys working on the
`IPR are all outside counsel.  In particular, we wish to disclose the following documents to our IPR
`team:
`(1) Microsoft OEM Master Licensing Agreement (Version 2015) (MSFT_PHILIPS00004741-806)
