`Blitzsafe Texas, LLC v. Toyota Motor Corp., et al
`Case No. 2:15-cv-1277-JRG-RSP
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Dear Peter:
`
`We are writing because it has come to our attention that Mr. Vincent Rubino recently
`
`took the deposition of a 30(b)(6) witness in Blitzsafe's district court litigation against Honda.
`
`
`
`As you probably know, Mr. Rubino was formerly an associate with the law firm of
`Kenyon & Kenyon prior to joining your firm. As you also probably know, while at Kenyon, Mr.
`Rubino was involved in representing Toyota in numerous patent litigations. As a result of these
`patent litigations, Mr. Rubino was privy to Toyota's defense strategies as well as numerous other
`confidential and privileged documents and communications. He also had meetings involving
`defense strategies with at least one of Toyota's designated 30(b)(6) witnesses. As a result of Mr.
`Rubino's prior representation of Toyota, it is our view that his involvement or consultation in any
`patent litigation or Inter Partes Review proceeding against Toyota would constitute a conflict of
`interest.
`
`
`
`Therefore, we request that you immediately confirm that Mr. Rubino has not been
`involved with or consulted in Blitzsafe's district court litigation against Toyota, or the pending
`IPRs involving Toyota. Further, we request that you immediately confirm that Mr. Rubino will
`not in the future become involved or consult with others in any aspect of Blitzsafe's litigation
`against Toyota or the IPRs filed by Toyota.
`
`We look forward to your response.
`
