`RE: BE v. Samsung
`
`Dan, 

`Your email below fails to address all of the points in my July 18 email (including our proposal) and makes clear that our 
`good faith attempts to resolve this issue amicably have been unsuccessful.  As I said in my July 18 email, it is not possible 
`for us to determine whether any products are representative of a category without first receiving supplemental 
`infringement contentions that satisfy the local rules.  Based on your statement that “BE believes that its initial 
`infringement contentions meet the requirements of the Local Patent Rules and supplementation is not required” 
`(making it clear that we still disagree on the fundamental issue), we cannot risk waiting to receive whatever 
`supplements you decide to prepare before raising this issue with the Court.  The prejudice on Samsung increases with 
`each day that passes without receiving a detailed set of contentions placing Samsung on notice as to precisely what it is 
`about its 177 products that allegedly infringe.  Therefore, since it is clear that we will not be able to resolve this issue 
`short of motion practice, we will be filing our motion to compel today. 

`Please call us if you have any questions. 

`Thanks, 

`Josh

`Josh, 
`
`  
`The camera products were not omitted, they were included in the Smart Phone/Media Players category.  We’ve updated 
`the category name to include cameras.  We have identified 4 inadvertently omitted products, including one tablet, one 
`smart phone, and two TVs.  The attached chart has been updated with those prior omissions.      
`
`  
`Under our proposal for a representative products stipulation, one accused device from the list of accused of devices 
`within each of the product categories would be the representative product for all accused products within that product 
`category.  To eliminate any confusion, we propose the following representative products from the product categories 
`identified in parenthesis.   
`
`  
`Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Wi‐Fi (Tablets) 
`Samsung LED 5300 Series Smart TV 32’ (Smart TVs) 
`Samsung Smart Blu‐ray Player BD‐E5700 (Smart Blu‐Rays)

`Samsung ATIV Smart PC, XE500T1C (PC/Notebook/Ultrabook) 
`
`  
`You asked whether BE will supplement its infringement contentions.  As expressed on the telephone call last week and 
`in prior correspondence on the issue, BE believes that its initial infringement contentions meet the requirements of the 
`Local Patent Rules and supplementation is not required.  As we understand it, Samsung contends additional information 
`in the form of annotations to the claim charts is necessary to understand the allegations of infringement.  I explained 
`that BE would be willing to provide such amendments provided the parties make a stipulation regarding representative 
`products.  Such a stipulation appears to be mutually beneficial.  For that reason, we agreed to and did provide a 
`proposal for a representative products stipulation.  Please let me know if the proposal is acceptable.  
`  
`If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

`Dan, 

`This responds to your email of last evening to Rich.  The table you have provided is not what we had expected following 
`the meet and confer call on Monday.  While we appreciate that you have attempted to categorize the 177 accused 
`products (except for the accused camera products which we assume BE Tech has either dropped or inadvertently 
`omitted), you have not proposed a representative product from each category. 

`Your email also does not address the main topic of the call (and the parties’ prior correspondence), i.e., whether BE Tech 
`is willing to supplement its infringement contentions to provide the level of detail required under Local Rule 
`3.1(c).  Absent such supplementation to specifically identify the features which BE Tech contends to meet each claim 
`limitation ‐‐ in both the BE Tech claim charts which merely repeat the claim language and the accompanying bare 
`screenshots which do not include any ID/labeling of such features ‐‐ it is simply not possible to determine whether any 
`products are actually representative of a category.  More importantly, absent appropriate supplementation by BE Tech, 
`Samsung remains prejudiced in its ability to provide responsive non‐infringement contentions.  Please confirm whether 
`BE Tech agrees to supplement its infringement contentions to provide these details. 

`In light of the foregoing, we propose the following: we will hold off on filing our motion to compel for now if: (1) you 
`promptly supplement your infringement contentions as to the products that you believe are representative of a given 
`category; and (2) you agree to extend our deadline for providing non‐infringement contentions (and supporting 
`documentation) until 28 days from service of your supplemental infringement contentions.  Once we receive your 
`updated infringement contentions and we serve our non‐infringement contentions, we will re‐evaluate your 
`representative product list. 

`Please let us know if you will agree to our proposal, or if you believe that another call would be productive.  Otherwise, 
`we reserve the right to proceed with filing a motion to compel and stay our discovery obligations pending new 
`contentions. 

`Thanks, 

`Josh

`
`Richard, 
`
`  
`Further to our discussion on Monday, attached please find a proposal for the division of products to 
`facilitate a representative products stipulation narrowing the number of charts required for 
`infringement and non‐infringement contentions.  The spreadsheet is organized into six product 
`categories and identifies the accused products in each category.   
`
`  
`For purposes of charting, we propose that a single chart of an accused product from each category 
`would be representative of the other products identified in the category.  
`  
`In addition, you mentioned bifurcating damages for trial.  BE does not agree to bifurcation at this time. 
`
`  
`Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. 
`

`Thanks,
