`
`Hi Tripp,
`
`We do not agree with your characterization of the July 19 meet and confer. During that meet and confer,
`Maxell (1) committed to providing more information for why it contended it was proper to invoke PR 3-
`1(g) for the five identified claim limitations; (2) noted several times that it was treating its invocations of
`PR 3-1(g) as reservations of rights to cite source code as evidence of alleged infringement if its review so
`warranted; and (3) stated its position that Apple must produce all relevant source code irrespective of what
`was stated in Maxell’s infringement contentions. Apple agreed that if it identified any additional
`limitations as to which it believed Maxell had improperly invoked PR 3-1(g), we would let you
`know. Apple did not agree to summarize what source code it was or was not producing on “an element-
`by-element basis,” as your email seems to suggest, nor is Apple required to do so. Based on your
`representation that Maxell’s invocation of PR 3-1(g) was a reservation of rights, Apple has not identified
`any further limitations as to which it believes PR 3-1(g) was improperly invoked. As such, there was
`nothing further to report to Maxell.
`
`Your request also exceeds the scope of Apple’s discovery obligations under PR 3-4. Apple has produced
`documents and made available for inspection source code that is sufficient to show the operation of the
`aspects or elements of the accused products as identified in Maxell’s infringement contentions, and there is
`no “additional information” that Apple needs to—or is required to—provide under the court’s order, the
`local rules, or the parties’ discussion. We informed you weeks ago that we would be producing source
`code on August 14, and Apple has already cleared Maxell’s experts. Thus, we disagree with your position
`that Apple must provide additional information before Maxell can give notice of inspection.
`
`Thanks,
`
`Tony
