`DISCOVERY ORDER
`
`WHEREAS, on April 1, 2022, the Court heard Demaray LLC’s (“Demaray”) motion to
`
`compel: (1) production of documents sufficient for Demaray to evaluate the presence of any filter
`
`circuitry in certain components of the non-Cirrus Applied systems at issue, in certain components
`
`of the LAM system at issue, and in certain components of the other non-Applied system at issue;
`
`(2) inspection of the non-Cirrus Applied systems at issue and certain components thereof,
`
`inspection of the LAM system at issue and certain components thereof, and inspection of the other
`
`non-Applied system at issue and certain components thereof; or if (1) or (2) are not provided, (3)
`
`for an adverse inference that Samsung uses the claimed narrow band rejection filter in the non-
`
`Cirrus Applied systems at issue, the LAM system at issue and the other non-Applied system at
`
`issue, as further detailed in the parties’ joint submission, and the Court ruled as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Samsung will make available for deposition for up to 3 hours of a corporate
`
`representative on Samsung’s knowledge regarding the relevant configuration of the LAM systems
`
`at issue, including regarding the DC power supply to the target, components between the DC power

`
`supply and the source assembly, and the source assembly, including the presence of a narrow band
`
`rejection filter or alternative protective mechanism.
`
`The Court denied Demaray all other requested relief with regard to Samsung.
`
`2.
`
`
`
`To provide further guidance to the parties, the Court takes this opportunity to clarify that it
`
`denied all other relief because it finds that Defendants provided a proportional amount of discovery
`
`under Rule 26 after balancing the great importance of this discovery to the plaintiff against the
`
`heavy burden of the discovery on the defendant, in view of the less burdensome avenues of
`
`discovery otherwise available, and in view of the continually diminishing likelihood that additional
`
`discovery will reveal new information beyond the great amount of discovery already provided.
`
`
`
`IT IS SO ORDERED.
`
`SIGNED this 8th day of April, 2022.
