`Re: Ocean Semiconductor Litigation Matters
`Purported Subpoenas to United Microelectronics Corporation
`
`
`Dear Peter:
`
`
`I write in response to your January 19, 2022 email to me. Your email attached purported
`FedEx delivery receipts and subpoenas to United Microelectronics Corporation (“UMC”). The
`delivery receipts appear to indicate that Ocean attempted to serve these subpoenas by mailing
`them via FedEx directly from your firm to UMC’s offices in Taipei, Taiwan.
`
`Your attempted service of these subpoenas by FedEx is improper and inconsistent with
`the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable Taiwan laws. Moreover, I am not
`authorized to accept service of subpoenas on behalf of UMC, and therefore your email to me
`attaching the subpoenas does not constitute effective service. Aside from the lack of effective
`service, UMC is outside the subpoena power of United States courts. Accordingly, UMC is
`under no obligation to respond to these subpoenas, and any response would be entirely voluntary.
`
`As I indicated in my January 12, 2022 email to you, UMC would be willing to discuss
`producing documents responsive to certain document requests in the subpoenas if Ocean is
`willing to significantly narrow the scope of its requests. Please let me know if Ocean would like
`to discuss this matter. I will generally be available either Monday or Tuesday next week.
`
`
`Sincerely,
`
`
`
`Robert G. Litts
