`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED

`
`The United States District Court for Eastern District of Texas presents its compliments to

`
`REQUEST FOR JUDICIAL ASSISTANCE
`
`The undersigned, Honorable Robert W. Schroeder III, District Judge for the United States
`
`District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, requests the assistance described herein as
`
`necessary in the interests of justice. In particular, the undersigned requests that you cause, by

`
`(“Apple”), certain documents in the possession of Hitachi with its place of business at:
`
`

`
`6-6, Marunouchi 1-chome
`
`Chiyoda-ku
`
`Tokyo, 100-8280
`
`Japan
`
`The evidence sought is outlined in Attachment A (attached hereto). Responses and
`
`evidence returned to this court may be submitted as evidence at trial and may be necessary
`
`for the conclusion of these proceedings. As allowed by the internal laws of Japan, please have
`
`all returned evidence verified and/or certified as to completeness and authenticity.
`
`If any portion of this Request is deemed to be unacceptable under the laws of Japan,
`
`please disregard that portion and continue to comply with as much of the Request as legally
`
`permissible.
`
`II.
`
`FACTS OF THE CASE
`
`Complainant Maxell, Ltd. (“Maxell”) alleges that defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) has
`
`infringed ten of Maxell’s United States patents in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271.1 Hitachi was the
`
`original assignee of all ten patents or parent applications thereto (“the asserted patents”). Hitachi
`
`assigned the asserted patents in 2009 to Hitachi Consumer Electronics Co., Ltd., which then
`
`assigned the asserted patents in 2013 to Hitachi Maxell, Ltd., when then later assigned the
`
`asserted patents to Maxell Ltd.
`
`While Hitachi still owned the asserted patents, it engaged in communications with Apple
`
`related to potential sale and/or license of certain patents. Hitachi also entered into license
`
`
`1 The patents alleged to be infringed by Apple include: U.S. Patent Nos. 6,748,317 (“the ’317
`Patent”); 6,580,999 (“the ’999 Patent”); 8,339,493 (“the ’493 Patent”); 7,116,438 (“the ’438
`Patent”); 6,408,193 (“the ’193 Patent”); 10,084,991 (“the ’991 Patent”); 6,928,306 (“the ’306
`Patent”); 6,329,794 (“the ’794 Patent”); 10,212,586 (“the ’586 Patent”); and 6,430,498 (“the
`’498 Patent”).

`
`
`

`

`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 146-1 Filed 11/27/19 Page 4 of 104 PageID #: 6023
`
`agreements with companies that supply components to Apple that are accused of infringing.
`
`Thus, it appears that Hitachi possesses information of relevance to this litigation, including
`
`documents related to the conception and reduction to practice of the asserted patents, marking,
`
`communications related to licensing and/or sale of the asserted patents, and licenses. Maxell has
`
`also represented that these documents are not within its possession, custody, or control. Apple
`
`therefore desires to obtain from Hitachi all documents in its possession, custody, or control
`
`related to the document requests enumerated in Attachment A.
`
`III. EVIDENCE
`The documents to be produced are identified in Attachment A.
`
`IV.
`
`PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`In this matter, a Protective Order has been entered that governs the production of
`
`documents, testimony and any record of the testimony. A copy of this order is attached hereto as
`
`Attachment B. Because this action involves confidential and propriety business information, the
`
`Protective Order serves to protect such information from public disclosure. Accordingly, the
`
`United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas requests that any document
`
`obtained in response to this Letter of Request be treated in accordance with the provisions of the
`
`Protective Order to protect confidential and propriety information.
`
`For the protection of the privacy of information in this case in Japan, this court requests
`
`the Japanese Judge to issue a corresponding order to provide similar confidentiality protection in
`
`Japan of the testimony and any other documents, transcripts, etc. produced and/or recorded in
`
`response to this request.

`
`V.
`
`RECIPROCITY
`
`The United States District Court for Eastern District of Texas is willing and able to
`
`provide similar assistance to the judicial authorities of Japan, should a similar Request for
`
`International Assistance be received from those authorities.
`
`VI. REIMBURSEMENT FOR COSTS
`Should there be any costs associated with the service herein, it will be the responsibility
`
`of the attorneys for Apple to reimburse the appropriate Judicial Authority in Japan concerning
`
`the same. Costs in the amount of $750.00 U.S. are hereby authorized and authorization for
`
`greater expenses should be requested directly. Please direct any correspondence or
`
`communications concerning costs to:

`
`to the date of the production. If you know of the existence, past or present, of any documents or
`
`things requested below, but are unable to produce such documents or things because they are not

`
`documents or things.
`
`2.
`
`If no documents are responsive to a particular request, you are to state in your
`
`response that no responsive documents exist.
`
`3.
`
`These requests seek all responsive documents in their original language, and, if
`
`such original language is not English, these requests also seek all English-language translations
`
`that may exist for any such documents.
`
`4.
`
`All documents shall be produced in the order that they are kept in the usual course
`
`of business, as required by Rule 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For example, a
`
`document that is part of a file, docket, or other grouping should be physically produced together
`
`with all other documents from said file, docket, or grouping responsive to said request, in the
`
`same order or manner of arrangement as the original. Additionally, a document should be
`
`produced stapled, clipped, or otherwise bound or connected in the same manner as the original.

`and/or unduly burdensome for any reason, respond to that request as narrowed to the least extent
`
`necessary, in your judgment, to render it not overbroad/unduly burdensome and state specifically
`
`the extent to which you have narrowed that request for purposes of your response and the factual
`
`basis for your conclusion.
`
`7.
`
`In the event that you object to any request on the ground that it is vague and/or
`
`ambiguous, identify the particular words, terms or phrases that are asserted to make such request
`
`vague and/or ambiguous and specify the meaning actually attributed to you by such words for
`
`purposes of your response thereto.

`
`AGREED PROTECTIVE ORDER
`REGARDING THE DISCLOSURE AND USE OF DISCOVERY MATERIALS
`
`Plaintiff Maxell, Ltd. (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Apple Inc. (“Defendant”)
`
`anticipate that documents, testimony, or information containing or reflecting confidential,
`
`proprietary, trade secret, and/or commercially sensitive information are likely to be disclosed
`
`or produced during the course of discovery, initial disclosures, and supplemental disclosures
`
`in this case and request that the Court enter this Order setting forth the conditions for treating,
`
`obtaining, and using such information.
`
`Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court finds
`
`good cause for the following Agreed Protective Order Regarding the Disclosure and Use of
`
`Discovery Materials (“Order” or “Protective Order”).
`
`1.
`
`PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
`
`(a)
`
`Protected Material designated under the terms of this Protective Order shall
`
`be used by a Receiving Party solely for this case or any related appellate proceeding, and shall not

`absent a good faith belief that the designated material satisfies the criteria set forth below. If it

`
`promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing or changing the designation.
