`
`
`
`
`CyWee’s Motion to Compel demands extensive information never contemplated to be
`
`provided through this deposition on written questions. It should be denied for three reasons.
`
`First, a number of the questions seek highly detailed information not previously requested from
`
`or provided by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SEC”). Such questions are beyond the Court-
`
`ordered scope of this deposition, which is the financial information already produced by SEC in
`
`this case. Moreover, these questions are more properly suited for interrogatories and therefore
`
`are an attempt to propound additional interrogatories after the close of fact discovery. Second,
`
`CyWee’s Motion raises questions that were never asked in the deposition on written questions.
`
`Third, the remaining alleged deficiencies are based on mischaracterizations—and even false
`
`recitations—of the deponent Mr. Kyuhyun Han’s responses. Accordingly, CyWee’s Motion to
`
`Compel further supplemental answers to these questions should be denied.
`
`I.
`
`
`
`STATEMENT OF RELEVANT FACTS
`
`CyWee filed two separate motions to compel asking for a deponent in Texas on SEC
`
`financial data and material cost files. Dkt. Nos. 136 at 3; 130 at 7. Samsung declined to produce
`
`deponents on this information because, among other reasons, CyWee delayed in asking for this
`
`information and fact discovery had closed. Dkt. Nos. 141 at 1–2; 135 at 3. Those requests were
`
`limited to topics on SEC financial information and not Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
`
`(“SEA”) financial information, and indeed CyWee had already deposed Mr. Sean Diaz on those
`
`topics. The Court heard argument on those motions to compel on August 10.
`
`
`
`During the August 10 hearing, the Court was quite clear that the scope of the deposition
`
`on written questions was limited to questions on SEC financial information already produced in
`
`this case. The Court stated that the deposition would be “directed to the Samsung Korea financial
`
`information and drilling down into the components of the information that has been produced.”
`
`8/10/2018 Hr’g. Tr. at 104:12–14. Counsel for Samsung, Chris Kennerly, clarified the scope of
`
`-1-
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 5 of 18 PageID #: 9063
`
`
`this deposition, stating “I heard drilling into SAP system and getting more data, and I don’t think
`
`that that’s what we’re contemplating. We’ve produced the information. So what I would expect
`
`are questions about what we’ve produced,” to which the Court responded, “Right.” Id. at 106:4–
`
`8. The Court’s subsequent Order confirmed the limited scope of this deposition, stating “[w]ith
`
`respect to CyWee’s questions regarding the financial information of Samsung Electronics Co.,
`
`Ltd., CyWee shall serve its questions . . . by August 17, 2018.” Dkt. No. 145 at 1.
`
`
`
`CyWee, however, presented deposition questions that far exceeded the Court’s Order.
`
`CyWee included questions attempting to force Samsung to provide every individual cost for
`
`every Accused Product. CyWee also tried to retake its live deposition of SEA’s financial witness,
`
`Mr. Diaz, asking questions about SEA data as well.
`
`
`
`Samsung made good faith efforts to provide the information requested, within the scope
`
`contemplated by the Court’s Order. Samsung’s witness, Mr. Kyuhyun Han, personally reviewed
`
`the SEC financial information produced in the case and responded to the questions. He testified
`
`that
`
`
`
`. His responses were compiled and served on CyWee. Dkt. No. 164-8.
`
`CyWee, however, claimed it was not satisfied and complained about certain responses. Dkt. No.
`
`164-2. Samsung made every attempt to resolve CyWee’s alleged concerns, and Mr. Han served
`
`supplemental answers to the deposition questions. Dkt. No. 164-3. CyWee still was not satisfied
`
`and filed the instant Motion to Compel.

`
`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`A.
`
`The Responses to the Financial Information Questions (Numbers 6, 8–14, 40–
`42, and 64–67) Were Not Materially Deficient
`
`
`
`CyWee’s Motion to Compel complains that Samsung’s responses to questions 5–79 were
`
`“materially incomplete.” Dkt. No. 164 at 4. In reality, CyWee only ever raised an issue with—
`
`and its Motion only addressed—less than twenty of these questions, rather than seventy-four. Id.
`
`at 5–10; Dkt. No. 164-2. Regardless, each of those questions either was fully responded to, asked
`
`for additional document production and was thus inappropriate, or was misrepresented in
`
`CyWee’s Motion.
`
`1.
`
`Question Number 6
`
`
`
`Question Number 6 asks,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Additionally, to the extent this request asks for additional information,
`
`it is outside the Court-ordered scope of the deposition. Further, this question, as CyWee views it,
`
`requires exacting detail which a deponent is not expected to provide and instead is more suited
`
`for interrogatories. United States ex rel. Fago v. M & T Mortg. Corp., 235 F.R.D. 11, 25 (D.D.C.
`
`2006) (finding corporate testimony would not be compelled on topics requiring detailed

`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 7 of 18 PageID #: 9065
`
`information—including loan numbers for hlmdreds of loans, and employee names for those that
`
`reviewed over one hlmdred loans—and instructing that to the extent fluther discovery was
`
`required on these topics, it need only be provided pursuant to interrogatories ah‘eady propounded
`
`on these precise topics). Accordingly, this can be viewed as an improper attempt by CyWee to
`
`belatedly propound interrogatories.
`
`Cyeew also claims that it .. entitleme—
`
`To the extent CyWee requests written instluctions, that is
`
`beyond the scope of the deposition. If this request is asking the deponent to recall the instructions
`
`word for word, it is improper since a deponent is not required to provide that level of detail.
`
`Fago. 235 F.R.D. at 25. Again, this appears to be an improper attempt to ask interrogatories after
`
`the close of discovery. Further, such commrmications are protected by the attorney-client
`
`privilege, a privilege which CyWee explicitly said during a September 6, 2018 meet and confer
`
`that it would not consider waived in regards to the instructions. Declaration of Elizabeth L.
`
`Brann (“Brann Decl.”) 1] 2. CyWee’s current request for the written instructions without
`
`reference to this conversation is misleading or at best incomplete.
`
`CyWee’s Motion also asks Samsung to respond to an additional five questions.1 These
`
`questions were not present in Question 6 either literally or inherently. For example, Question 6

`-

`
`— from memory, it is improper since a depouent is not required to provide
`
`this extraordinary level of detail. Fago, 235 F.R.D. at 25. This appears to be nothing more than
`
`an attempt to ask additional, belated interrogatories. CyWee’s complaints that the answers
`
`regarding Question 6 were materially deficient are without melit.
`
`2.
`
`Question Number 8
`
`Qttttttn Nthhtt t thhhasked—
`
`—. It does not ask, literally or inherently, the additional six
`
`questions to which CyWee now seeks to compel answers.2 CyWee had the oppommity to ask
`
`these separate questions, but it did not. Apparently recognizing this, CyWee now improperly
`
`seeks a second deposition to ask them. Samslmg fully and fairly answered the question asked,
`
`and CyWee’s alleged complaints are again without merit.

`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 9 of 18 PageID #: 9067
`
`question could have been properly answered simply as “no.” Dkt. No. 164—2 at 2. In the spirit of
`
`cooperation, however, Sam31mg provided additional detail. It now appears that all of CyWee’s
`
`complaints about this response stem from this vollmtarily provided information.
`
`CyWee’s only actual request in regards to this question appears to be—
`
`It is wholly unreasonable for
`
`CyWee to argue it is a material deficiency not to answer a question that was never asked. Instead
`
`this is a follow 11p question based on Mr. Han’s response.
`
`CyWee’s remaining complaints seem to stem fi‘om its failure to read the supplemental
`
`responses
`
`Accordingly, these complaints are meritless.

`
`4.
`
`Question Number 10
`
`CyWee appears to believe the answer to Question Number 10 is deficient purely because
`
`it is not the answer CyWee wanted. Specifically‘ CyWee argues the answer should have listed
`
`not make Mr. Han’s answer deficient.
`
`CyWee’s disagreement with this classification does
`
`“even more nom‘esponsive” than others (Dkt. No. 164 at 7) is also without merit.
`
`5.
`
`Question Numbers 11-14
`
`CyWee complains that the responses to Question Numbers 11—14 are deficient since they

`
`
` Again, merely because CyWee does not like how the deponent
`
`answered the question does not mean the response is deficient.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`6.
`
`Question Numbers 40, 64, and 65
`
`Question Number 40 merely asked for

`
`
`
`
`responses
`
` Once again, it appears that CyWee failed to read Samsung’s supplemental
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Third, to the extent CyWee is asking for
`
`, that again exceeds
`
`the Court-ordered scope of the deposition. Fourth, to the extent these requests ask the deponent
`
`to recall each and every
`
`, they are improper since a deponent is not
`
`required to provide such exacting detail. Fago, 235 F.R.D. at 25. Once again, this appears to be
`
`an improper attempt to ask interrogatories after the close of fact discovery.

`
`7.
`
`Question Numbers 41 and 42
`
`Question Numbers 41 and 42 relate tohow—
`
`— and were fully and fairly answered as asked. Dkt. Nos. 164-8 at 13—14;
`
`164-3 at 9—10. CyWee makes no argument as to why the answers to these specific questions are
`
`deficient.

`
`To the extent these questions request the production of additional financial data, they are outside
`
`the Comt—ordered scope of the deposition. To the extent these requests ask the deponent to recall
`
`each andeve_, they are improper since a deponent is not
`
`required to provide that level of detail. Fago, 235 F.R.D. at 25. Once again, this seems to be an
`
`attempt to propound belated intelrogatories. Samsmig objected to these questions accordingly.

`
`B.
`
`The Responses to the Questions Regarding SAM_CYWEE00172322
`
`(Numbers 64—67 and 72—79) Were Not Materially Deficient
`
`1.
`
`Question Numbers 64—67
`
`Accordmgly, eyttwt ttttttutm that—
`
`— (Dkt. No. 164 at 11) is incon‘ect. Additionally, as stated
`
`above, to the extent Question Numbers 64—67 request production of additional financial data,
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 13 of 18 PageID #: 9071
`
`
`they are outside the scope of the deposition or not a proper inquiry for a deponent. Fago, 235
`
`F.R.D. at 25.
`
`2.
`
`Question Numbers 72–77
`
`
`
`These questions ask for additional data on
`
`
`
`. Dkt. No. 164-5 at 11–12. CyWee
`
`moves to compel responses to these questions, but these questions are improper for at least three
`
`reasons. First, they effectively call for additional document production in light of
`
`
`
`. They are therefore outside the scope of the
`
`SEC financial data already produced in this case. Second, to the extent these requests ask the
`
`deponent
`
`, they are
`
`improper since a deponent is not required to provide that amount of detail. Fago, 235 F.R.D. at
`
`25. This appears instead to be an improper attempt to ask interrogatories long after the close of
`
`fact discovery. Third, as outlined in Mr. Han’s response,
`
`
`
` is therefore outside the scope of
`
`the deposition. Dkt. No. 164-8 at 24–27. Samsung objected to these questions accordingly. Id.
`
`3.
`
`Question Numbers 78 and 79
`
`
`
`These questions ask for
`
`. Dkt. No. 164-5 at 12. CyWee seeks to compel
`
`. Dkt. No. 164 at 12. First, as Mr. Han stated in his
`
`response,
`
`. Second,
`
`these requests are outside the scope of the deposition limited to already produced SEC financial
`
`information. Third, to the extent CyWee wants this response in narrative form, that is improper
`
`since a deponent is not required to provide this level of detail. Fago, 235 F.R.D. at 25. This is yet
`
`another attempt to propound belated interrogatories. Samsung objected accordingly. Dkt. No.
`
`164-8 at 27. Notwithstanding, Samsung provided an explanation
`
`
`
`-10-
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 14 of 18 PageID #: 9072
`
`
`. Id. It is unclear how this allegedly renders the
`
`response materially deficient.
`
`C.
`
`The Questions Regarding “Critical Components” (Numbers 82–87) Exceed
`the Scope of the Deposition
`
`
`
`CyWee demands that Samsung be made to answer Questions 82–87. Dkt. No. 164 at 13.
`
`Each of these questions refers to “Critical Components,” which CyWee defined as “Components
`
`required for an SKU or Model of an Accused Product to perform Critical Functions.” Dkt. No.
`
`164-5 at 2, 13. “Critical Functions” is defined as
`
`making and receiving a voice phone call, sending and receiving
`text messages with attachments, sending and receiving emails with
`attachments, taking and storing photos, accessing and searching the
`internet, displaying retrieved or created content related to the other
`Critical Functions, storing data and retrieving data in the form of
`digital files, PDFs or music/video files.
`
`Id. These questions are improper for three reasons. First, given the definitions, responses would
`
`require a technical opinion. Therefore, the questions are outside the Court-ordered scope of the
`
`deposition, limited to SEC financial information already produced in this case. Regardless, Mr.
`
`Han answered
`
`
`
`
`
`Second, a number of the questions request additional financial data. That too is outside the scope
`
`of the court-ordered deposition. Third, to the extent CyWee requires a narrative response, these
`
`questions improperly require the deponent to recall overly detailed information. Fago, 235
`
`F.R.D. at 25. This appears to be yet another attempt to propound interrogatories after the close of
`
`fact discovery. Samsung objected to each of these questions for these reasons. Id.
`
`-11-
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 15 of 18 PageID #: 9073
`
`
`D.
`
`The Questions Regarding SEA Financial Information Spreadsheets
`(Numbers 88–124) Exceed the Scope of the Deposition
`
`
`
`CyWee demands responses to Question Numbers 88–124. Dkt. No 164 at 13–14. Each of
`
`these questions relate to spreadsheets prepared by SEA. CyWee says that the questions must be
`
`answered since the deposition was addressed to both SEC and SEA. Id. But who CyWee directed
`
`the questions to is of no consequence. The Court was clear that the scope of the deposition was
`
`SEC financial information already produced in this case. In fact, CyWee appears to understand
`
`that the scope was so limited given its statements at the most recent hearing:
`
`17 [THE COURT:] … And I would expect that the questions you ask -
`18 - I don’t want to buy a pig in a poke here -- but within reason
`19 would be questions that you’re entitled to frame.
`20 MR. SHORE: They would be just like the questions of
`21 Mr. Diaz about the Samsung America information that they
`22 produced Mr. Diaz for Samsung America. He was noticed for
`23 both --
`24 THE COURT: Yeah.
`25 MR. SHORE: -- but they only produced him for one.
`1 But I would like to ask those types of questions and follow-up
`2 questions of a Samsung Korea witness.
`3 THE COURT: All right.
`
`8/10/2018 Hr’g Tr. at 101:17–102:3. Accordingly, CyWee represented that the purpose was to
`
`ask an SEC witness questions on SEC financial data analogous to the questions it asked the SEA
`
`witness on SEA financial data. Given the limited scope, Samsung’s responses began by stating
`
`“[t]he Court’s August 10, 2018 order only required a deposition by written questions regarding
`
`the financial information of SEC and therefore these responses do not reflect information from
`
`Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (‘SEA’).” Dkt. No. 164-8 at 1.
`
`
`
`Further, CyWee appears to believe that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`-12-
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00140-WCB-RSP Document 189 Filed 10/05/18 Page 16 of 18 PageID #: 9074
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`These questions are additionally improper insofar as they purport to require additional
`
`document production. This deposition was limited to documents already produced. Also, to the
`
`extent these requests ask the deponent to recall detailed financial information, they are improper
`
`since a deponent is not required to provide such exacting detail. Fago, 235 F.R.D. at 25. These
`
`are merely interrogatories CyWee is attempting to propound after the close of fact discovery.
`
`
`
`Additionally, CyWee has already had a full opportunity to depose an SEA witness on
`
`SEA’s produced financial data. Brann Decl. ¶ 7. Accordingly, CyWee’s questions are either
`
`cumulative of information CyWee already possesses or are an attempt to ask questions it failed
`
`to ask in Mr. Diaz’s deposition.
`
`III. CYWEE’S REQUESTED RELIEF IS IMPRACTICAL
`
`
`
`CyWee requests that the Court “[o]rder Samsung to immediately produce a prepared
`
`witness, in Dallas, Texas, to fully answer CyWee’s questions.” Dkt. No. 164 at 15. Many of
`
`CyWee’s requests are for extremely detailed information
`
`
`
`
`
`for each and every Accused Product. Dkt. No. 164 at 9. These questions cannot properly be
`
`answered during a deposition, nor is a deponent expected to provide this level of detail. Fago,
`
`235 F.R.D. at 25 (“Although Rule 30(b)(6) requires a designated witness to thoroughly educate
`
`him or herself on the noticed topic, it should go without saying that the witness should not have
`
`to memorize hundreds of [] numbers.”). While Samsung objects to these questions as outside the
`
`scope of the deposition insofar as they request additional document production, if the Court finds
`
`any answers materially deficient, Samsung requests that it be allowed to supplement the answer

`
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`
`
`
`Overall, CyWee’s Motion to Compel should be denied because a number of the requests
`
`seek extremely detailed information not previously requested from SEC and are therefore far
`
`beyond the Court-ordered scope of this deposition, because a number of questions were never
`
`asked in the deposition, and because the remaining alleged deficiencies are based on incorrect
`
`characterizations of the deponent’s testimony.
`
`
`
`Samsung naturally disagrees with the numerous mischaracterizations in CyWee’s request
`
`for sanctions, including that Samsung “hid” (Dkt. No. 164 at 14) any information. The opposite
`
`is true. Instead, Samsung requests appropriate sanctions against CyWee for intentionally failing
`
`to heed the Court’s prescribed scope for the deposition, and then compounding that violation by
`
`filing the instant Motion based on clear mischaracterizations of the record, unsupported
`
`arguments, and a complete failure to read all of the deponents responses. CyWee has not acted in
`
`good faith and sanctions are warranted.
