`
`This message is from an EXTERNAL SENDER
`Be cautious, particularly with links and attachments.
`
`Josh,
`
`Patent Owner Thales Visionix, Inc. confirms that it did not have an attorney-client relationship with
`any attorney at Williams & Connolly before or during the May 23, 2023 deposition of Dr. Neumann.
`
`As to a date for Mr. Parker’s deposition, he is available on October 13. Please let us know if that date
`works for Meta, and if a 10:00 Eastern start time is acceptable.
`
`Regards,
`Brandon

`
`Melissa,
`
`Thank you for meeting and conferring regarding our requested discovery. Please confirm, as
`your team stated on our call, that Patent Owner (Thales) is not contending, and will not
`contend, based on Mr. Parker’s declaration or otherwise, that there was an attorney-client
`relationship (express or implied in-fact or by law) between any attorney at Williams &
`Connolly and Patent Owner at any time before or during the May 23, 2023 deposition of Dr.
`Neumann.
`
`Regarding Mr. Parker’s deposition, we cannot agree in advance to limit the time on record
`with him but will endeavor in good faith to be time efficient with our questioning. If you
`would like to have a broader discussion on time limits in apex depositions here and in the
`litigation, we are willing to discuss that. We can agree to conduct his deposition remotely so
`that he may appear from his home. Please provide dates in October when Mr. Parker is
`available for his deposition.
`
`Regarding our requested document discovery, we are still considering your proposal. In order
`to help us evaluate your proposal, can you please let us know the approximate volume of
`documents that would be produced, and the approximate volume of documents that would be
`withheld under a claim of joint defense privilege but not logged?
`
`Regards,
`Josh
