`RE: AGIS v. Apple - 30(b)(6) Notice
`Thursday, August 9, 2018 6:16:42 PM
`
`Alessandra,
`
`Thanks for following up. None of the individuals listed in your email is an Apple employee. Mr. Siegel has been retained as an expert consultant in this matter, but
`my firm will accept service of a subpoena directed to him for the purpose of providing factual testimony with respect to the functionality and public availability of
`the FBCB2 prior art system and its predecessor systems.
`
`Apple has not made any final determinations on who it will or will not call at trial in this matter. Apple will make those disclosures consistent with the Court’s
`scheduling order. Likewise, to the extent Apple serves subpoenas on any of the individuals listed in your email, we will of course provide appropriate notice to
`AGIS, consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
`
`Regards,
`Ameet

`
`We have not heard back regarding the additional deposition witnesses discussed in my email below sent on August 2. AGIS is requesting this information so it has
`a fair opportunity to depose the individuals Apple intends to present for trial testimony during the fact discovery period. Please respond by COB today so we have

`Subject: RE: AGIS v. Apple - 30(b)(6) Notice
`
`Alessandra,
`
`We confirm that we will be designating one or more witnesses for topics 40-43 and 60-62, subject to Apple’s objections. That witness will
`be Evan Krasts, and he will be available for deposition in or near Cupertino, California. Mr. Krasts will also be designated for topics 53-54
`(with respect to marketing, promotion, and advertisement), and 71-72 (with respect to the topics for which he is designated). We are in
`the process of confirming Mr. Krasts’s availability for deposition within the dates you have indicated a preference, and we will do our best
`to confirm his availability by the end of this week.
`
`With respect to topics 37, 38, 44, and 49, as we stated on the meet-and-confer, Apple has already designated one or more witnesses to
`testify in response to numerous other topics concerning the design, development, distribution, and/or importation of the accused software
`features, and the marketing of the accused software features. On the meet and confer, you were unable to provide any information about
`what non-cumulative testimony AGIS is seeking with respect to topics 37, 38, 44, and 49, how that testimony would be relevant to this
`case, or how any relevance would outweigh the substantial undue hardship on Apple of preparing witnesses to testify on those topics
`concerning each of the nearly 100 hardware “Accused Products” or “each and every hardware portion of the Apple Accused Servers.” On
`those bases, Apple stands by its objections, and based on our call we understand AGIS will not pursue these topics. If that is not correct,
`and if AGIS is willing to narrow these topics, we are willing to further discuss.
`
`We appreciate AGIS’s willingness to tentatively withdraw topics 48, 51, 52, or 57. We have asked AGIS to explain how those topics are
`relevant and not cumulative of AGIS’s other discovery requests, including topics for which Apple has already designated one or more
`witnesses to testify, and we can be available if AGIS intends to move forward on those topics.

`Kerri-Ann

`
`Kerri-Ann,
`
`Thanks for speaking with me and accommodating the time change. Our understanding is that Apple will be designating a witness for Topic
`Nos. 40-43 and 60-61. Please identify the witness and propose a deposition date for these topics by the end of the week. Please also
`clarify whether Apple will designate a witness to testify regarding Topic No. 62.
`
`Regarding Topic Nos. 37, 38, 44, and 49, our understanding of Apple's position is that testimony responsive to these topics, as it pertains
`to the accused technology, is already covered by other topics and that testimony related to hardware is not relevant. Apple is standing on
`its objections that documents, information, and testimony related to hardware is irrelevant and unduly burdensome. Please confirm.
`
`Regarding Topic Nos. 48, 51, 52 and 57, AGIS is willing to tentatively withdraw these topics dependent upon how facts develop at the

`
`Kerri-Ann,
`
`We will review Apple's Amended Objections and Responses to AGIS's Rule 30(b)(6) Notice
`and reach out if it appears that it does not accurately represent the parties' agreements and that
`we need to confer further on these issues.
`
`I've indicated on more than one occasion that we are not available on August 7 or 8 due to a
`hearing in one of the other consolidated cases. Please let us know if Mr. Suparna can instead be
`available on August 13 or 14.
`
`Please let us know if Mr. Jaynes can be available on either August 13, 14, 16, or 17, on a date
`that Mr. Suparna is not scheduled to be deposed. We already have another deposition scheduled
`on August 15.
`
`We can accept August 30 for Mr. Ankenbrandt's deposition.
`
`Providing availability of additional witnesses over the next several weeks is unacceptable given
`that AGIS's corporate deposition notice was served on Apple on January 19, 2018 and that
`AGIS has been consistently requesting deposition dates for at least two months. Please provide
`Apple's designees for the remaining topics and dates for each by the end of this week and
`confirm that Apple's 30(b)(6) designees will cover all fact witnesses identified in Apple's initial
`disclosures that it intends to call at trial.

`
`Alessandra,
`
`Attached are Apple’s Amended Objections and Responses to AGIS’s 30(b)(6) Notice, which
`reflect the agreements reached on the meet and confer regarding this notice.
`
`Your allegation of delay lacks merit. Apple has been working as diligently as possible to
`coordinate witness availability for the 72 topics in AGIS’s 30(b)(6) notice, many of which
`cover multiple distinct product groups. To that end, Apple has been working to provide a
`comprehensive schedule of witnesses that the parties could meaningfully discuss. That said,
`below are current availabilities that we have been able to secure for three Apple witnesses, with
`the topics for which they are designated in parentheses. We are continuing to coordinate
`schedules and will provide the availability of additional witnesses over the next several days
`and weeks.
`
`• Navin Suparna (topics 4, 9-11, 13-15, 18-25, 32-35, 50, 71, 72): August 7 or 8, 2018
`• Michael Jaynes (topics 36, 39, 45-48, 52-56, 59, 63, 64, 69, 70, 71, 72): August 15, 2018
`• Brian Ankenbrandt (topics 58, 65-68, 71, 72): August 30 or 31, 2018

`
`Kerri-Ann,
`
`Apple's delay in providing deposition dates is becoming unreasonable. We are approaching the
`2-month mark since AGIS first requested dates yet Apple has yet to provide anything more than
`a general timeframe of July or August.
`
`We are now unavailable for the remainder of July, August 7-8, and August 14-17. We can be
`available the week of August 27. Please provide firm dates by COB today.
