`Dear Mike,
`
`EagleView is preparing to produce any agreements with OpenSolar in addition to responding to Interrogatories 14 and
`15, however, it is EagleView’s position that this dispute is not amenable to the summary procedure you identify below,
`especially considering the other discovery disputes ongoing between the parties.
`
`Best,
`‐Michael

`[WARNING: External Email]
`Counsel,
`
`As mentioned in prior emails and on our November 3 and 13, 2023 meet and confers, you have produced to us a
`
` Agreement and amendments thereto and the
`Agreements, but you have failed to produce anything from the timeframe between what we understand to be the last
`amendment to the
` Agreement and the execution of an edited final version of the
`
` Agreements.

`Case 2:21-cv-00283-TS-DAO Document 451 Filed 09/16/24 PageID.22394 Page 3 of 7
`
`The Court previously ordered the production of similar negotiation documents related to EagleView’s agreements with
`another third party, finding that those documents were relevant and proportional to the needs of the case. Dkt. 93 at
`1–2, 4–5. The same is true with respect to non‐privileged negotiation documents related to EagleView’s agreement with
`CoreLogic, and there is no justifiable basis to refuse to search for and produce such documents, which are relevant at
`least to patent misuse and damages. See Dkt. 93 at 4–5 (“Documents regarding the underlying settlement negotiations
`are also relevant and discoverable where they ‘could aid defendant in its calculations concerning a reasonable royalty
`amount and damages.’ Kajeet, Inc. v. Qustodio, LLC, No. 18‐1519, 2019 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 227979, at *23 (C.D. Cal. Oct. 22,
`2019) (unpublished);see also Clear with Computers, LLC v. Bergdorf Goodman, Inc., 753 F.Supp.2d 662, 664 (E.D. Tex.
`2010) (finding settlement‐related communications could ‘be key in determining whether the settlement agreements
`accurately reflect the inventions’ value or were strongly influenced by a desire to avoid or end full litigation).”). We
`raised this previous ruling on the meet and confer. You raised no distinction between it and the parties’ current dispute.
`
`With respect to Nearmap’s RFP Nos. 47‐49 and 51 addressing EagleView’s transactions, agreements, and
`communications with OpenSolar, you have not produced EagleView’s agreements with OpenSolar and have refused to
`produce communications with OpenSolar on the basis that they are not relevant because they were not included
`previously in Nearmap’s invalidity contentions. We disagree. It is not reasonable to expect Nearmap to include
`documents in its invalidity contentions that you have not and now refuse to produce. Nearmap is entitled to review
`such documents to determine whether to include them in its contentions and you have no justifiable basis to withhold
`them.
`
`As discussed on our meet and confer, so as to avoid burdening the Court with motion practice regarding the above‐
`discussed documents, Nearmap proposes utilizing the dispute resolution procedures set forth in DUCivR 37‐1(d). Please
`let us know by close of business on November 17 whether you agree to that process. We would be agreeable to
`submitting a joint request for a discovery dispute conference before the Magistrate Judge. That request could include a
`short description of the disputes. We suggest no more than 500 words per side.
`
`Regards,
`

`
`Dear Jenna,
`
`As stated at our meet and confers, it is EagleView’s position that the CoreLogic agreements speak for themselves and
`EagleView will not be conducting further searches for irrelevant communications between EagleView and CoreLogic.
`Regarding OpenSolar, it appears that Nearmap’s Interrogatories 14 and 15 have eclipsed the prior RFPs. EagleView will
`respond to those Interrogatories in the ordinary course. Lastly EagleView confirms that there have been no further
`agreements or amendments with Verisk responsive to RFP 40.

`
`[WARNING: External Email]
`Dear Michael,
`
`
`Thank you for discussing the outstanding discovery issues with us on Friday. As discussed, you have agreed to serve a
`supplemental response to Nearmap’s Interrogatory No. 1 this week identifying the products EagleView will be relying on
`for lost profits and you have agreed to produce updated financial information later this month.
`
`
`We also discussed Nearmap’s discovery requests addressing Verisk, CoreLogic, and OpenSolar, which are relevant to
`Nearmap’s patent misuse claim. Please confirm the following by November 9:
`
`
` Agreement
` With respect to Nearmap’s RFP Nos. 41‐46 addressing CoreLogic, we have a
` Agreements, but
`and amendments thereto and the
`nothing from the timeframe between what we understand to be the last amendment to the
`
`Agreement and the execution of the
` Agreements. We now understand
`that EagleView has not attempted to look for those documents (including communications relating to the
`negotiation of the
` Agreements) in the places they would most likely be
`located, such as with EagleView’s outside counsel. That falls short of a reasonable search. Please confirm
`whether EagleView will be producing additional responsive documents.
` With respect to Nearmap’s RFP Nos. 47‐49 and 51 addressing OpenSolar, you stated that EagleView intends to
`withhold its agreements, draft agreements, and communications with OpenSolar on the basis that they are not
`relevant because they were not included previously in Nearmap’s invalidity contentions. We disagree. It is not
`reasonable to expect Nearmap to include documents in its invalidity contentions that you have not and now
`refuse to produce. Nearmap is entitled to review such documents to determine whether to include them in its
`contentions and you have no justifiable basis to withhold them. Please confirm that you will be producing
`documents responsive to Nearmap’s RFP Nos. 47‐49 and 51.
` With respect to Nearmap’s RFP No. 40 addressing Verisk, please confirm that there are no agreements or
`amendments entered into after
` between EagleView and Verisk.
`
`
`
`Consistent with your email below and as you noted on the call, EagleView’s search and collection for certain discovery
`requests is ongoing and there may be additional documents produced that are relevant to Nearmap’s invalidity
`contentions. Nearmap’s final invalidity contentions were due on August 25, 2023 for certain patents and tomorrow for

`
`

`
`other patents. Any belated production by EagleView of documents relevant to invalidity may require Nearmap to move
`to amend its contentions.

`
`Dear Jenna and Mike,
`
`
`We expect to tomorrow make production of documents responsive to the requests you identified in emails sent October
`16 and 23, and which we discussed on October 23 and 30 via helpful meet‐and‐confers. In advance of tomorrow’s meet‐
`and‐confer, I wanted to respond specifically to each issue you raised.
`
`
`Per your first October 16 email, EagleView has produced documents responsive to RFPs 34–36, before November 8,
`2002, notwithstanding its relevance objection, located after a reasonable search.
`
`
`Per your second October 16 email:
` EagleView has produced documents responsive to RFPs 5 and 17, located after a reasonable search, and
`investigation continues.
` EagleView has produced documents responsive to RFPs 9, 12, 13, and 15, located after a reasonable search.
` Regarding RFPs 8, 10, 16, and 18, no responsive documents were located after a reasonable search.
` EagleView confirms that the searches it performed responsive to the identified RFPs were of the entirety of the
`documents it has collected to date.
`
`
`Per your October 23 email:
` EagleView has produced documents responsive to RFPs 41–46, including agreements produced on October 23,
`which you acknowledged in our latest meet‐and‐confer. EagleView has not identified any further
`communications responsive to these RFPs after a reasonable search.
` Documents responsive to RFPs 37 and 39 will be included in the forthcoming production.
`
`

`
`
`Best,
