`Case 2:17-cv-00513-JRG Document 197 Filed 09/05/18 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 11199
`
`Plaintiff AGIS Software Development LLC (“AGIS”), by and through its undersigned
`
`counsel, hereby submits this response in opposition to LG Electronics, Inc.’s (“LG”) Motion for
`
`Leave to Supplement the Record in Support of its Pending Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal
`
`Jurisdiction or, in the Alternative, to Transfer Venue to the Northern District of California (Dkt.
`
`No. 46).
`
`LG’s motion fails to address statements made by AGIS at the Evidentiary Hearing held on
`
`August 8, 2018, and that AGIS raised during the meet and confer on this motion. At the
`
`Evidentiary Hearing held on August 8, 2018. AGIS represented that it “may take discovery of
`
`Google with respect to any proprietary Google application material that’s not in . . . the public
`
`information.” Dkt. 176 at 70:19-22. LG maintained its position at the hearing that its products are
`
`based on confidential Google code and LG served an updated Initial Disclosure on August 31,
`
`2018 that continues to list Google as a potential trial witness. As it indicated that it may, AGIS
`
`served a subpoena on Google, LLC, consistent with its statements at the hearing. Because the
`
`record already indicated that AGIS may seek such information from Google, no supplementation
`
`is necessary or appropriate.
`
`Further, in correspondence with LGEKR on August 31, 2018, AGIS represented that it
`
`would be willing to meet and confer regarding supplementation, and provided not only the
`
`relevant portion of the testimony from the Evidentiary Hearing cited above, but additionally,
`
`indicated that LGEKR continues to list a “Witness from Google LLC who may have knowledge
`
`related to the functionality implicated in the accused applications” in its initial disclosures.
`
`LGEKR cannot represent that it would provide a witness from Google while also feigning surprise
`
`when AGIS seeks to depose that witness. AGIS is entitled to seek discovery from witnesses listed
`
`in LGEKR’s initial disclosures.
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00513-JRG Document 197 Filed 09/05/18 Page 3 of 5 PageID #: 11200
`
`LGEKR also cites to AGIS’s Response in Opposition of LGEKR’s Motion to Change
`
`Venue to the Northern District of California, stating that “AGIS has chosen not to pursue claims
`
`related to methods performed by a server against Huawei.” Dkt. 56 at 9. This statement is
`
`irrelevant to the issue at hand as AGIS’s position has not changed. AGIS has not asserted those
`
`server claims against either Huawei or LG in this case.1 See Dkt. 1; see also Dkt. 194.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, AGIS respectfully requests that the Court deny LGEKR’s leave
`
`to file the opposed Motion to Supplement the Record in Support of its Motion to Transfer Venue
`
`to the Northern District of California.
