`IPR2018-01106/1108/1113/1114/1120/1122/1124/1125/1126/1127: Update regarding Additional Discovery
`Wednesday, September 12, 2018 3:41:23 PM
`Agreed Upon Discovery Requests 9-11.docx
`
`Honorable Board,
`
`Further to the August 29, 2018 Order Authorizing Motion for Additional Discovery and our September 10, 2018 Joint Request for Leave For an Extension
`of Time, we wish to inform the Board that the parties have reached a mutually acceptable agreement and compromise on the currently pending discovery
`dispute, avoiding the need for additional briefing or Board intervention. In particular, Samsung (Petitioner) has agreed to provide additional discovery in
`response to the attached requests on the condition that the information and documents produced in response to the requests are treated by Seven
`Networks (Patent Owner) as confidential business information (CBI) and are not deemed by Seven Networks to constitute a waiver of the common
`interest privilege. Consistent with this, Seven Networks has agreed that it will file a motion to seal any submissions to the Board that reveal information
`reflected by this production, which Samsung has agreed to join in the preparation and filing thereof.
`
`With Best Regards,​

`To the Honorable Board:
`
`

`

` 
`In the above-referenced ten cases, Patent Owner requests a call with the Board, to seek authorization to move for discovery pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`§§ 42.5 and .51(b)(2) directed to evidence regarding the 35 U.S.C. § 315(b) time bar as it applies to Petitioner. Petitioner states that it opposes this
`request. 
` 
`Counsel for the parties are available to attend the call at the following times, all EDT: Tuesday August 14 11a-1p, Wednesday August 15 11a-2p,
`Friday August 17 1130a-12p, and Monday August 20 2p-5p. 
` 
`The evidence requested in the discovery will address, in particular, the privity and relevant pre-existing relationships between (i) Google, who is
`petitioner in, inter alia, eleven other cases against these patents, and (ii) Petitioner, in the ten above-referenced cases challenging the same
`patents.  Patent Owner is prepared to explain on the call why permission to file a motion requesting the ordering of such discovery should be
`granted, under Applications In Internet Time v. RPX (Fed. Cir. July 9, 2018, unsealed July 24, 2018), the Garmin factors, and other decisions, in light
`of the facts common to the above cases.
` 
`Respectfully submitted,
