`RE: Touchstream v. Google | Case No. 6:21-CV-569 | Depositions
`
`Michael,
`
`We are working on dates for the Google witnesses and will report shortly.
`
`With respect to Levai specifically, his travel schedule has continued to change and it is likely he will be remaining in
`Switzerland for a while. As a result, early next week we will bring a motion to start the Hague process for that
`deposition, along the lines of the draft motion we had previously sent you re Ms. Boboholma. Please let us know if
`Touchstream will join, consent or oppose.
`
`We confirm October 21 for Mitschele. If a date the following week becomes available, we would prefer that. But if not,
`we confirm October 21.

`
`We have previously informed you that Mr. Levai will be available for deposition on October 4 EET (Romania
`time). Please let us know if you would expect to take only a half day for Mr. Levai, if so he is available to start at 2pm
`EET, which is equivalent to 7am CT. If you expect to take more time, then we would likely need to start sooner.
`
`As for Mr. Kenghe’s deposition, he can be available on Thursday, October 6 at 6:30pm IST to 10:30 pm IST, which is
`equivalent to 8am to 12pm CT on October 6.
`
`Please confirm by tomorrow that you will take these depositions at these dates and times.

`Counsel,
`
`In light of the Court’s setting of a hearing today at 4:30pm Central, we will need to delay the start of Mr. Bakar’s
`deposition until after that hearing (currently set to start at 4pm). Given Mr. Bakar’s heavy involvement in the accused
`products, we anticipate needing at least the allotted 3.5 hours with him (if not more). Please let us know ASAP if this
`presents an issue.

`
`We can accept taking Mr. Bakar from 2:00 pm Pacific to 5:30 pm Pacific on September 29. However, while we can try to
`finish his deposition in 3.5 hours, if the need for more time arises, Touchstream reserves all rights to seek additional
`time.
`
`For Mr. Maigret, if Google has produced all of its financial documents by this Thursday (September 29), we could agree
`to October 6 for his deposition (current offer October 3). We could also agree to a later date after October 6, now that
`the parties have agreed to move the close of fact discovery to October 13. Given the other depositions scheduled for
`October 6, if Google prefers to move Mr. Weixel back to October 3, we could now accommodate that date for Mr.
`Weixel.
`
`Please let us know.

`Michael

`
`Thanks, Michael, for confirming the deposition of Mr. Robins.
`
`As for the deposition of Mr. Rinzler, we are only expecting to take about a half day.
`
`In addition, we have a slight change in Mr. Bakar’s schedule. Instead of 1:30-5pm PT on 9/29, we understand that his
`availability is actually from 2:00-5:30pm PT (i.e., a half-hour later). Please confirm that this schedule still works for
`Touchstream.

`
`Counsel:
`
`We write to address several issues regarding depositions and the case schedule in view of several recent exchanges
`between our teams.
`
`First, we wanted to confirm the deposition dates that are set, including some you recently offered or accepted:
`
`
`9/29
`Mike Rinzler
`9/29 1:30 - 5 pm end
`Majd Bakar
`9/30
`Jamie Cohen
`Herb Mitschele 9/30
`George Bonanto 10/4
`Chris Cooke
`10/5
`Meher Vurimi
`10/6
`Jack Weixel
`10/6
`
`
`We are all working hard to schedule, but as you have told with respect to many Touchstream witnesses, Google folks
`also have crowded calendars and the confirmed depositions must go forward on the confirmed dates, or else they may
`not happen at all.

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 185-10 Filed 01/19/23 Page 12 of 26
`
`
`Second, here are the depositions that we see as remaining open (with dates that we have proposed, where available):
`
`
`Corey Robins
`Michael Maigret
`Johnny Levai
`
`Current offer: Given the failure to timely confirm the
`deposition in response to our 9/22 email, Mr. Robins is no
`longer available for deposition on 9/26. Mr. Robins is only
`available on 9/28 next week, and he is not available the
`first week of October.
`Current offer: 10/3
`Current offer: 10/4 EET
`Current offer: 10/7 IST during regular business hours as
`previously noted, or on 10/6 PT if Touchstream agrees to a
`deposition time of 8 AM start - 10:00 AM PT end
`Ambarish Kenghe
`Matt Van Der Staay TBD
`Micah Rupersburg TBD
`Visal Misra
`TBD
`
`
`Please confirm that there are no other depositions that remain to be scheduled.
`
`Third, we both agree there are a lot of depositions to get done, both ways, and that the schedule is a bit pressed. We
`propose that the parties agree to move the close of fact discovery, opening and responsive expert report dates, and the
`close of expert discovery, each back by one week and conclude the few remaining unscheduled depositions during the
`week of October 10. All confirmed, scheduled depositions would stay as currently scheduled, and the parties would
`work to get as many depositions, and all other discovery, concluded by the current discovery cut-off. Please let us know
`if this proposal is agreeable and we can lock down the remaining deposition dates.

`As a follow up to the deposition scheduling please note that:
`1. As to Touchstream’s Topic No. 36, we are designating Johnny Levai. We can tentatively offer
`him on 10/4 EET.
`2. As to Mr. Bakar, we can tentatively offer him on 9/30 as previously noted, or on 9/29 if
`Touchstream agrees to a deposition time of 1:30 PM start - 5 PM PT end.
`3. As to Mr. Kenghe, we can tentatively offer him on 10/7 IST during regular business hours as

`Given the time left in the schedule, we request that Touchstream confirm by 1:00 PM ET tomorrow

`Touchstream is not moving forward with Mr. Robins’s deposition as offered on 9/26. With only two
`weeks left in the schedule, Touchstream’s failure to confirm offered dates as soon as possible risks

`Status / Position - Sept. 19, 2022 (10:00 PM)
`Google served a deposition subpoena with tomorrow’s date (Sep 20). We understand
`that the deposition is not going forward tomorrow and expect to coordinate with
`Google on future scheduling.
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – We confirm the deposition will not go forward 9/20 and will
`keep you posted on scheduling.
`The deposition will go forward on this date.
`
`
`Touchstream expects to serve supplemental interrogatory responses later today.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – Confirmed.
`Google has not produced the relevant source code for this deposition to occur on this
`date. Please provide an alternative date for later during discovery and after Google
`has produced the relevant source code.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – Given Mr. Van Der Staay’s role and responsibilities, he will not
`be testifying as to any source code. Please explain why additional source code is
`required for Mr. Van Der Staay’s deposition. Please confirm by 5 CT today that you
`will go forward on the scheduled date.
`Touchstream agrees to take this deposition remotely on Friday morning, September
`23.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – Per our other communications, we will set aside up to three
`hours for this deposition. We will also provide a Google Meets invitation and Google
`Drive link as we have done for prior depositions.
`Touchstream agrees to a half-day deposition of Corey Robins starting at 1 pm Central
`on September 26, but reserves the right to continue the deposition if needed for
`another half-day if relevant documents have not been timely produced sufficiently in
`advance of the deposition.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE - We can confirm a half-day deposition for Mr. Robins on 9/26,
`but there is no reason for and we therefore cannot agree to make Mr. Robins
`available again for another half-day deposition. You have not indicated any
`documents which have not been produced and are required for the topics designated
`for Mr. Robins.
`Google has not produced the relevant source code for this deposition to occur on this
`date. Please reserve this date with the witness but Touchstream reserves the right to
`reschedule if needed.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – Please explain your position as to why additional source code is
`required for Mr. Rupersburg’s deposition.
`Date accepted by Google and going forward on this date.

`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE - It is not reasonable to expect that all of Touchstream’s current
`and past senior executives will be deposed on the same date. Google confirms that
`either Mr. Rinzler or Mr. Cohen can be scheduled on 9/30 but requests that either Mr.
`Rinzler or Mr. Cohen be made available on or before 9/29.
`Google: We will proceed with this date. Please confirm that Touchstream will
`produce all agreements by no later than 9/28, otherwise we reserve the right to
`depose Mr. Mitschele again.
`Touchstream: We will proceed with this date and get back to you regarding the
`requested agreements.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – We will proceed with this date if and only if Touchstream’s
`document production, including production of the Vizbee agreement, is concluded.
`This date does not work for Touchstream. Please provide an alternative date prior to
`the close of discovery.
`
`
`GOOGLE RESPONSE – Mr. Bakar has limited availability. We can offer this date. We
`are investigating whether Mr.
