`
`Andy,
`
`Following up on the below, I have confirmed that neither of my clients have responsive documents da5ng
`back to before their departure from Verity. Accordingly, I cannot see how their deposi5ons would be
`warranted.
`
`As I understand the mo5on, the patent owner seeks evidence “regarding the concep5on and reduc5on to
`prac5ce of the claimed inven5ons, including, for example, inven5on disclosure forms, diaries, calendars, lab
`notebooks, publica5ons, correspondence, and materials related to the prepara5on and filing of the Patent
`applica5ons.” Furthermore, patent owner seeks related documenta5on “to corroborate inventor tes5mony.”
`But given the absence of documenta5on, and therefore the inability to corroborate related tes5mony, it
`would seem that any deposi5ons would be superfluous.
`
`Please let me know if I can help answer any addi5onal ques5ons.
`
`MaJhias

`
`Andy,
`
`Thanks for passing these along—I will take a look and circle back. To date, Valtrus/Irell has not reached out to
`me in connec5on with poten5al discovery from either J.C. Mao or Prabhakar Raghavan.
