`RE: Maxell v. ZTE - Motion for Alternative Service

`
`Howard,

`As noted below your circular reasoning is not helpful with respect to whether or not Maxell will need
`a Mandarin translator.

`With respect to your latter points, I believe that I already confirmed during our call on Monday that
`we would be calling Mr. Nakamura.  I further indicated that we were working to develop witness
`ordering, etc. and I believe that we agreed that both parties would provide this information.  So lets
`discuss when we are both in a position to provide useful information – let me know when you guys
`are at that place.

`With respect to asserted claims, I indicated that we would again provide the remaining information
`when ZTE was in a place to provide us with the specific combinations it intends to proceed to trial
`with for all patents.  You indicated that you were not prepared to do this on Monday even though
`Steve had committed to the Court to do this more than a month ago.  To date we still do not have
`that information and for the ‘317 ZTE provided no helpful narrowing – the Court did that with its
`denial of ZTE’s motion to amend.  So lets discuss when ZTE is at that place – as you are well aware
`that must occur by mid-day on Thursday so that we can get the Court our amended pre-trial
`materials.  I though you had committed to getting us this for the ‘193 patent sooner given it is
`relevant to our first witness.

`Thanks,

`J.B.

`Jamie,

`The depos have been translated. I believe we’ve now addressed your concern. If not let me know
`what more information you need. 

`Can you answer my question as to what Japanese speaking witnesses you intend to bring live or will
`be within the subpoena power of the court during the trial? We assume Mr. Nakamura. Any others?

`Also please send us the claim list for the 317 patent as promised. 
`
`

`Subject: RE: Maxell v. ZTE - Motion for Alternative Service

`Steve and Eric,

`With respect to narrowing the case for trial, Maxell remains willing to further narrow claims at issue
`in the case if ZTE is willing to identify the prior art and 103 combinations it intends to rely on at trial. 
`This was raised in the email below, and we have yet to received any response notwithstanding your
`representations to the Court during the daubert/summary judgment hearing.  If your intention is to
`proceed to trial with all 48 references that you have identified in the pretrial order, please confirm
`this and provide us with the specific combinations that you intend to rely upon at trial for these
`references.

`Also, during the pretrial conference, you indicated to the Court that the parties will not need a
`translator for any ZTE witnesses testimony and that Waiman Lam would be its only party witness. 
`We note that your witness list has many ZTE witnesses listed as “may call”.  Based on your statement
`to the Court can we confirm that ZTE will not call either live or by deposition designation 
`?  We of course need this information
`immediately for purposes of translators and further because these individuals are also on Maxell’s
`witness list as “may call” witnesses.

`Thanks,


`
