`
`PETITIONER’S REPLY BRIEF ON ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` INTRODUCTION
`MemoryWeb’s request for additional discovery should be denied, as it falls
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`
`far short of the elevated “interests of justice” standard necessary for obtaining
`
`additional discovery in IPR proceedings and instead seeks to perpetuate the
`
`prejudice it brought upon Samsung by untimely raising RPI issues in this
`
`proceeding and addressing RPI/estoppel in a proceeding that did not involve
`
`Samsung. 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(5); Garmin Int’l, Inc. v. Cuozzo Speed Techs. LLC,
`
`IPR2012-00001, Paper 26, 6 (PTAB 2013) (precedential).
`
`Indeed, rather than properly substantiating its request for discovery and
`
`making a good faith effort to rely on relevant evidence, MemoryWeb chose to
`
`simply point to the vacated RPI Order and related findings reached in the Unified
`
`IPR, which was conducted without Samsung’s participation and vacated by
`
`Director Order based on concerns that it “prejudices Apple and Samsung by
`
`‘prejudg[ing] the RPI issue without their participation’”.1 MemoryWeb
`
`acknowledges as much in its opening brief, noting that “MemoryWeb’s document
`
`subpoena requests that Unified produce certain exhibits from the Unified IPR
`
`relating to the RPI Order’s finding that Samsung was an RPI.” PO Brief, 16.
`
`When not relying on prejudicial findings from the Unified IPR,
`
`MemoryWeb’s justification is exposed as speculative, lacking evidence to justify
`
`
`1 All emphasis added unless otherwise noted.
`

`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`against clear safeguards established by Garmin, which demands an evidence-
`
`backed showing by MemoryWeb sufficient to meet the heightened “interests of
`
`justice” standard. Garmin, 6; Axonics Modulation Techs., Inc. v. Medtronic, Inc.,
`
`Paper 24, 6-7 (PTAB 2020); Kamada, Ltd. v. Grifols Therapeutics Inc., IPR2014-
`
`00899, Paper 22, 4-5 (PTAB 2015).
`
` MEMORYWEB’S DISCOVERY REQUEST PERPETUATES THE
`PREJUDICE AGAINST SAMSUNG
`As noted in Samsung’s opening brief, MemoryWeb has prejudiced Samsung
`
`by, among other things, frustrating the efficiency and speed of this IPR in
`
`advancing unjustifiably delayed and unprecedented post-hearing discovery and
`
`briefing. Indeed, MemoryWeb has prejudiced Samsung by delaying substantive
`
`findings on fully briefed and argued issues of unpatentability based entirely on
`
`MemoryWeb-imposed delays. And, MemoryWeb threatens to burden the Director,
`
`burden the Board, and frustrate Congressional intent by extending this proceeding
`
`beyond the Congressionally-mandated one-year period for completion, all in
`
`service of MemoryWeb’s choice to delay seeking discovery. Pet. Brief, 2-3.
`
`Through its present discovery request, MemoryWeb once again seeks to
`
`prejudice Samsung by seeking unjustified discovery of documents from the
`
`Unified IPR—namely the vacated RPI decision and related documents from that
`
`proceeding—that Samsung had no say in. Contrary to MemoryWeb’s assertions,
`
`MemoryWeb yet again imposes prejudice against Samsung by relying upon
`
`2
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`prejudiced findings reached in a different proceeding where Samsung could not
`
`participate, effectively denying Samsung an opportunity to review much less have
`
`“an opportunity to adequately respond” to evidence believed to justify discovery.
`
`PO Brief, 13.
`
`A. MemoryWeb Seeks to Incorporate Prejudicial Documents under the
`Guise of Proper Evidence
`
`Rather than bringing forth “a threshold amount of evidence or reasoning
`
`tending to show beyond speculation that something useful will be uncovered,” as
`
`required by Garmin and properly identifying the type of evidence it now seeks in
`
`relation to the RPI issue, MemoryWeb simply relies on findings of the vacated RPI
`
`Order—to the contravention of Director Vidal’s decision to vacate the RPI Order
`
`in the first place. Silicon Labs v. Cresta Tech., IPR2014-00728, Paper 31, 34
`
`(PTAB 2014).
`
`To justify its motion for additional discovery, MemoryWeb cites just five
`
`exhibits, none of which constitutes admissible “evidence” that justifies additional
`
`discovery. Paper 41 (Petitioner’s Objections To Evidence). Indeed, the only one
`
`of these exhibits that includes any factual discussion of the relationship between
`
`Samsung and Unified is Ex. 2038—the RPI Order in the Unified IPR. But that
`
`Order has been expressly vacated as improper and, thus, cannot be used as a basis
`
`to force discovery upon Samsung in this proceeding. The Order also is heavily
`
`3
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`redacted, which prevents Samsung from adequately assessing the factual findings
`
`that led to it. Samsung cannot be expected to defend itself against things it cannot
`
`even see. Due process requires more, and Samsung’s due process rights would be
`
`violated if it was forced into additional proceedings with additional discovery
`
`solely on the basis of an Order (1) that has been vacated, (2) that was secured
`
`without Samsung’s participation, and (3) that relies on factual findings that
`
`Samsung cannot even review.
`
`Ultimately, MemoryWeb is using its unjustified discovery request to seek an
`
`incomplete and imbalanced representation of the RPI issue, thereby furthering the
`
`prejudice against Samsung while enticing the Board to come to the same
`
`conclusion it did without Samsung’s participation—all resulting from
`
`MemoryWeb’s gamesmanship to leave Samsung out of an RPI record, which
`
`MemoryWeb now seeks to import into Samsung’s proceeding against the spirit of
`
`Dir. Vidal’s decision. Starting from a position of prejudice and prejudgment
`
`unfairly forces Samsung to fight an uphill battle. On this basis alone,
`
`MemoryWeb’s intent is clear and its request should be denied.
`
`B. MemoryWeb’s Request Could and Should Have Been Brought Earlier
`
`After deliberately refraining from timely entry of RPI-related discovery
`
`requests in this proceeding based on a wait-and-see approach, MemoryWeb now
`
`contends that targeted evidence “could not have been obtained earlier” and that its
`
`4
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`consideration “would be in the interests-of-justice.” Pet. Brief, 1-11; PO Brief, 13.
`
`Not so.
`
`MemoryWeb points to the “RPI Order and the Director Decision” as
`
`documents that did not exist earlier and thus “could not have been obtained
`
`earlier.” PO Brief, 14. But, the RPI Order and the Director Decision are not
`
`relevant evidence. The RPI Order, in particular, was vacated by the Director. And
`
`the fact that the RPI Order and the Director Decision were not available earlier
`
`should have no bearing whatsoever on whether MemoryWeb could have raised the
`
`RPI issue in this proceeding in a timely manner. Indeed, MemoryWeb’s actions
`
`demonstrate the same, as MemoryWeb raised the issue in the Unified proceeding.
`
`There is no excuse for MemoryWeb to not have known that the Unified IPR was
`
`the wrong forum to be challenging the RPI issue. Pet. Brief, 11-13.
`
`MemoryWeb further contends that “[t]he Director Decision provided
`
`explicit guidance that ‘[t]he Board can and should make a determination’ of
`
`Samsung’s RPI status in this proceeding.” PO Brief, 7. But the Director
`
`Decision never provided such an express order to upend PTAB procedure and
`
`pursue belated post-hearing discovery on RPI issues in this proceeding. Rather,
`
`the Director Decision merely pointed out that the Unified IPR was the wrong
`
`forum to debate the RPI status, in so doing noting that “[t]he Board should not
`
`5
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`have determined whether Apple and Samsung are RPIs” in the Unified proceeding.
`
`Director Decision, 5.
`
`More, it is undisputed that all other documents MemoryWeb now seeks
`
`through discovery were available well before—and in many times over a year
`
`before—the POR date in this proceeding. Exs. 2033-2035. Yet, MemoryWeb fails
`
`to explain its failure to timely seek this other evidence.
`
`Providing due process and an opportunity to be fairly heard underlies all
`
`activity before the PTAB, and here, under seal, with cloak and dagger,
`
`MemoryWeb clearly sought to resolve issues without voice by the implicated
`
`stakeholders (i.e., Samsung and Apple); imagination isn’t necessary, nor is
`
`precedent, to know that one must argue the point in the case implicating the to-be-
`
`aggrieved party, and that a decision to forego doing so will be at the movant’s
`
`peril. Had the Unified IPR reached a FWD and closed before Samsung’s IPR was
`
`filed, would that have precluded MemoryWeb’s RPI/estoppel argument? Of
`
`course not—as with all types of estoppel arguments, MemoryWeb could bring its
`
`RPI/estoppel argument in the impacted proceeding, Samsung’s IPR, which it could
`
`have and should have done here. The fact that the allegedly estoppel-inducing
`
`proceeding was still open changes nothing and does not excuse MemoryWeb from
`
`timely confronting the aggrieved party, Samsung, with its arguments. Nothing
`
`6
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`prevented MemoryWeb from asking for the information it now seeks during the
`
`regular course of this proceeding.
`
`While some of the RPI-related materials in the Unified IPR were designated
`
`as confidential, MemoryWeb fails to explain why subpoena requests could not
`
`have been made earlier in this proceeding, just as they are being made now.
`
`MemoryWeb’s position on this point is internally inconsistent: either they could
`
`not have been made at all (clearly not MemoryWeb’s position, as revealed by their
`
`current request) or they could have been made earlier. All evidence points to the
`
`latter, as MemoryWeb developed the arguments/evidence it now seeks through
`
`discovery in the Unified proceeding, and simply chose not to pursue them in the
`
`presence of Samsung, in furtherance of its desired gamesmanship.
`
`The various excuses MemoryWeb provides for its late request are also to no
`
`avail. For example, pointing to Worlds where the Federal Circuit clearly explained
`
`that “IPR petitioner’s initial identification of the real parties in interest should be
`
`accepted unless and until disputed by a patent owner,” MemoryWeb contends that
`
`Worlds nevertheless does not address the facts of the present case “where the
`
`patent owner must prove that a non-party failed to identify the petitioner as an RPI
`
`during a different proceeding filed by the non-party, which is what is now required
`
`by the Director Decision.” PO Brief, 8; Worlds Inc. v. Bungie, Inc., 903 F.3d
`
`1237, 1243 (Fed. Circ. 2018). This rationale falls flat for several reasons. First,
`
`7
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`MemoryWeb grossly mischaracterizes the Director Decision. In that decision,
`
`Director Vidal simply noted that the “Board should not have determined whether
`
`Apple and Samsung are RPIs” in the Unified proceeding. Director Decision, 5.
`
`That statement requires nothing more, and certainly no more than the clear
`
`precedent set forth in SharkNinja. Moreover, Worlds does make apparent the
`
`proceeding in which a challenge is to be brought, as it deals with the rights of
`
`petitioner, and makes clear the commonsense notion that those rights must be
`
`challenged in the proceeding involving the petitioner whose rights are jeopardized.
`
`Here, the rights in question are Samsung’s, and consistent with Worlds where
`
`questions were resolved in the proceeding involving petitioner Bungie whose
`
`rights were jeopardized, the question should have been raised in the Samsung
`
`proceeding.
`
`MemoryWeb further asserts that the “the Director Decision substantially
`
`expanded SharkNinja’s holding and represents new guidance or an intervening
`
`change in the law” and further that the Director Decision “significantly expanded
`
`SharkNinja beyond its holding and the facts in that case.” PO Brief, 9. This is
`
`again a blatant mischaracterization of the Director Decision, which simply noted,
`
`as per SharkNinja, that an RPI determination should not be made in a proceeding
`
`where doing so is “not necessary to resolve that proceeding.” Director Decision, 5.
`
`8
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`Despite MemoryWeb’s repeated attempts at characterizing the Director’s
`
`Decision as “new guidance turning the procedure MemoryWeb followed on its
`
`head,” even a cursory reading of the Decision reveals that it is nothing more than a
`
`straight-line application of well-established PTAB precedent. PO Brief, 13. That
`
`is, contrary to MemoryWeb’s assertions, the Director Decision flows directly from
`
`SharkNinja and merely applies it precisely in the manner SharkNinja intended:
`
`parties who want to have the truth of the matter resolved with respect to RPI issues
`
`should do so in the proceeding that implicates the to-be-aggrieved party. The
`
`bottom line is that the Unified IPR was the wrong forum to bring the RPI issue and
`
`MemoryWeb should have known that.
`
`Kofax likewise confirms—not permits—the untimeliness of MemoryWeb’s
`
`discovery request. PO Brief, 10 (citing Kofax, Inc. v. Uniloc USA, Inc. et al.,
`
`IPR2015-01207, Paper 24, 1, 4 (PTAB 2016). Indeed, unlike in Kofax where the
`
`aggrieved party (Zebra) had voluntarily entered into an RPI relationship that
`
`ultimately led to its estoppel, no such fact pattern exists here for Samsung. In
`
`contrast, Samsung explicitly stated that it was not an RPI to petitions “filed by
`
`Unified Patents LLC (IPR2021-01413)” and “filed by Apple Inc. (IPR2022-
`
`00031).” Petition, 92. MemoryWeb does not disagree. PO Brief, 8 (MemoryWeb
`
`“does not contend that Samsung’s identification of RPIs in this proceeding is
`
`incorrect”).
`

`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
` MEMORYWEB’S DISCOVERY REQUESTS OF UNIFIED ARE
`OVERLY BROAD, WILL NOT RESULT
`IN ADMISSIBLE
`“EVIDENCE,” AND COULD BE GENERATED BY OTHER MEANS
`As an initial matter, MemoryWeb’s discovery requests of Unified rely on
`
`unreasonably broad definitions and instructions.2 At each turn, MemoryWeb asks
`
`for “the broadest possible meaning” in its requests. Ex. 2033, 1, 3-4; Ex. 2034, 1,
`
`3-4. The “broadest possible” is not narrowly tailored and, contrary to what
`
`MemoryWeb stated in its opening brief that it tailored its requests, these requests
`
`are by definition beyond a reasonable scope to the relevant issue of whether
`
`Samsung and Unified are RPIs.
`
`MemoryWeb also offers unreasonably broad definitions for Samsung,
`
`Unified, and MemoryWeb, which include “past and present officers, directors,
`
`affiliates, brokers, agents, representatives, employees, servants, accountants,
`
`investment bankers, attorneys, and all other persons acting directly or indirectly
`
`under its control and including all affiliated companies or entities, including
`
`
`2 Samsung first received MemoryWeb’s discovery requests on June 30 when
`
`MemoryWeb filed its motion and opposes them. Samsung’s email
`
`communications with MemoryWeb prior to June 30 did not address these
`
`discovery requests, did not express a lack of opposition to them, and merely
`
`confirmed that Samsung would comply with discovery if ordered by the Board.
`
`10
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`parents, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, partners, and joint ventures.” Ex.
`
`2033, 1-2; Ex. 2034, 1-2. It even broadly redefines the terms “and” and “or” with
`
`the intent of “bring[ing] within the scope of the discovery request all responses
`
`that might otherwise be outside of its scope.” Ex. 2033, 4; Ex. 2034, 4. And,
`
`MemoryWeb advances confusing and unnecessary instructions. Ex. 2033, 4-7.
`
`These definitions/instructions are not narrowly tailored and not appropriate for
`
`PTAB discovery (Factors 4 and 5).
`
`Further, MemoryWeb’s document requests are unlikely to lead to admissible
`
`evidence (Factor 1) and relate to things that could be generated by other means
`
`(Factor 3).3 MemoryWeb’s Requests 1-2 (the vacated RPI Order and oral hearing
`
`transcript from the Unified IPR) are emblematic of the problems with
`
`MemoryWeb’s requested discovery. These requests seek discovery of a “result”—
`
`not “evidence.” These requests are highly prejudicial, include hearsay from the
`
`Unified IPR, and, because Samsung was not involved in the Unified IPR, would
`
`frustrate due process if entered into this record. To the extent the Board considers
`
`MemoryWeb’s motion to terminate and authorizes further proceedings (it should
`
`
`3 As discussed above, MemoryWeb’s only support for its requested discovery is
`
`the public version of the Board’s vacated RPI Order, which cannot be used as the
`
`basis to support discovery against Samsung in this proceeding.
`
`11
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`not), without question, a new oral hearing transcript will be generated that properly
`
`involves Samsung and a new decision will be made that properly relates to the
`
`record in this proceeding. Thus, these requests would not lead to admissible
`
`“evidence” (Factor 1) and could be generated by other means that afford Samsung
`
`due process (Factor 3).
`
`The same is true for MemoryWeb’s Requests 3-5, which are directed to
`
`testimony from Kevin Jakel provided in the Unified IPR. This testimony is
`
`inadmissible hearsay that was developed in a different proceeding without
`
`Samsung’s involvement. Without question, the same evidence could be generated
`
`through a direct examination of Mr. Jakel in this proceeding with Samsung’s
`
`participation. Authorizing these requests for inadmissible hearsay is unnecessary,
`
`prejudicial, and violates Samsung’s due process rights.
`
` MemoryWeb’s Request 6 asks for “the Samsung Membership Agreement.”
`
`Yet, MemoryWeb provides no justification for why it needs compelled third party
`
`discovery of an agreement that is has requested production of from a party to this
`
`proceeding.
`
`MemoryWeb’s Requests 7-11 relate to various exhibits submitted by
`
`MemoryWeb in the Unified IPR. MemoryWeb’s motion did not specifically
`
`address these exhibits, did not offer any explanation for why it would need to
`
`compel Unified to produce its own exhibits, and has offered no explanation as to
`
`12
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`what this evidence is or why it is needed.4 With its treatment, MemoryWeb has
`
`not only failed to equip Samsung to respond to Requests 7-11, it has failed to meet
`
`its burden to demonstrate that the discovery is “in the interests of justice.”
`
`MemoryWeb’s deposition request of Unified fares no better. MemoryWeb’s
`
`first three deposition topics are not “topics” at all—they are requests for prior
`
`“testimony” of Mr. Jakel in the Unified IPR. As mentioned above, this testimony
`
`is inadmissible hearsay that was developed in a different proceeding without
`
`Samsung’s involvement. The Board should afford Samsung due process and
`
`decline MemoryWeb’s request to simply “import” the deposition testimony from
`
`the Unified IPR into this proceeding.
`
`Indeed, importing the prior testimony from the Unified IPR would be highly
`
`prejudicial and burdensome to Samsung. Instead of dealing with only new
`
`testimony properly generated in this proceeding, it would require Samsung to
`
`contend with both the prior testimony (developed without Samsung’s participation)
`
`and the new testimony, unduly complicating the process and compounding the
`
`burden on Samsung. That is unfair and the same evidence could quite clearly be
`
`
`4 Samsung checked the Unified IPR proceeding on the P-TACTS system for
`
`additional information on these exhibits, but could not locate public versions of
`
`any of MemoryWeb’s briefing in that proceeding.
`
`13
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`generated by other means—a direct examination of Mr. Jakel in this proceeding
`
`(Factor 3).
`
`As to MemoryWeb’s last deposition topic, it allows questions on the “contents
`
`… of all Documents … submitted into evidence during the Unified IPR.” This is
`
`clearly overbroad and not narrowly tailored to the RPI issue. Indeed, such a broad
`
`scope would allow MemoryWeb to question Mr. Jakel about anything in the
`
`Unified IPR. Yet, Samsung is not a party to the Unified IPR and is not privy to all
`
`of the evidence submitted during the Unified IPR. Thus, such a broad deposition
`
`topic would allow MemoryWeb to question Mr. Jakel about evidence to which
`
`Samsung is blind, which is clearly improper. And it would allow MemoryWeb to
`
`question Mr. Jakel on topics that are irrelevant to RPI or Unified (e.g., the scope
`
`and content of the prior art references and the ’228 patent). This is not a narrowly-
`
`tailored deposition topic, nor is its scope well defined.
`
` MEMORYWEB’S DISCOVERY REQUESTS OF SAMSUNG ARE
`UNSUPPORTED AND OVERLY BROAD
`MemoryWeb points to only one agreement—“Samsung’s membership
`
`agreement with Unified”—to justify its requests for discovery on Samsung. Yet,
`
`MemoryWeb requests “All agreements or contracts between Samsung and
`
`Unified” and “All Communications with Unified.” Ex. 2035, 2-3.
`
`At most, MemoryWeb has alleged that one agreement between Samsung and
`
`Unified exists. MemoryWeb offers no evidence or justification that its requested
`
`14
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`discovery would lead to other agreements or contracts beyond the noted
`
`“membership agreement.”
`
`And MemoryWeb provides no basis for requesting “Communications.”
`
`MemoryWeb does not even attempt to demonstrate that non-privileged
`
`communications between Samsung and Unified exist and would lead to useful
`
`information that is relevant to an RPI determination. MemoryWeb has simply not
`
`met its burden to demonstrate that there is more than a possibility and mere
`
`allegation that something useful will be discovered through it broad discovery
`
`requests on Samsung (Factor 1).
`
`
`
`MemoryWeb’s requests also are unreasonably broad and difficult to
`
`understand. MemoryWeb has not limited its requests to any particular range of
`
`time and places no limits on the requested agreements (“All agreements or
`
`contracts”). MemoryWeb also proposes unreasonably broad definitions for
`
`Samsung, Unified, and MemoryWeb, which include “all … current and former
`
`parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, employees, managers,
`
`officers, directors, partners, agents, representatives, attorneys, or anyone acting or
`
`purporting to act on its behalf or control.” Ex. 2035, 1-2. With these definitions,
`
`MemoryWeb’s request would require Samsung to investigate an unreasonably
`
`large number of people and organizations, many of which Samsung has no ability
`
`to control or even contact (e.g., former employees of Samsung, anyone purporting
`
`15
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00222
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0117IP1
`to act on Samsung’s behalf, attorneys of Unified, etc.). That type of investigation
`
`is likely impossible, much less something that could reasonably be completed
`
`within the five months remaining in this proceeding. To illustrate, as written,
`
`MemoryWeb’s requested discovery would require Samsung to produce all
`
`agreements between a former Samsung employee and a former Unified employee,
`
`even if they had nothing to do with Samsung, Unified, or MemoryWeb. It also
`
`covers “All Communications … about [an unreasonably broadly-defined]
`
`Unified,” and “All Communications … relating to [an unreasonably broadly-
`
`defined] MemoryWeb.” Because MemoryWeb chose not to narrowly tailor its
`
`discovery request of Samsung and, instead, provided confusing instructions that
`
`are unreasonably broad, MemoryWeb’s requested discovery does not comport with
`
`Board rules and should be denied (Factors 4 and 5).
`
` CONCLUSION
`MemoryWeb’s motion for additional discovery should be denied.
