`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`AUSTIN DIVISION
`
`IDENTITY SECURITY LLC,
`
`Plaintiff,
`v.
`
`APPLE INC.
`
`
`
`Defendant.
`
`Civil Action No. 1:22-cv-58-ADA
`
`
`Jury Trial Demanded
`
`The Court, having held a discovery hearing on October 24, 2023, hereby orders as follows
`
`Order
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`with respect to that hearing between Plaintiff Identity Security LLC (“Identity Security”) and
`
`Defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”):
`
`(1)
`
`Identity Security seeks to compel Apple to produce certain “indirect” financial information
`
`relating to revenues received by Apple with respect to the Accused Products. For example,
`
`Identity Security seeks revenue information with respect to (i) “Apple Pay”; (ii) Apple’s
`
`“App Store”; and (iii) subscriptions from the App Store. The Court grants Identity
`
`Security’s motion to compel. Apple is ordered to provide discovery to Identity Security
`
`disclosing usage and revenue information for Apple Pay, the App Store, and subscriptions
`
`from the App Store. Given the current stage of the case, Apple is ordered to produce this
`
`information in a readily accessible manner, and the parties are ordered to work together to
`
`coordinate any scheduling changes necessary to accommodate these productions. Identity
`
`Security is not presently seeking a witness on these productions.
`
`(2)
`
`In connection with two prior discovery hearings, Apple agreed to provide an interrogatory
`
`response identifying any alleged non-infringing alternatives it intends to advance in this
`
`litigation, Dkt. 140 ¶ 10, and to provide 30(b)(6) testimony on its interrogatory response
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00058-ADA Document 157 Filed 11/03/23 Page 2 of 3
`
`and the related non-infringing alternatives, see Dkt. 150 ¶ 4. Identity Security seeks to
`
`preclude Apple from offering any non-infringing alternatives in this litigation based on the
`
`timing of Apple’s related interrogatory response. The Court denies that relief. However,
`
`Identity Security does not waive the right to seek to strike any alleged non-infringing
`
`alternatives not adequately identified in the October 17 interrogatory response should
`
`Apple come forward with them in the future.
`
`(3)
`
`Identity Security seeks to compel Apple to produce any licenses produced in two other
`
`actions: (1) R.N. Neushtan Trust Ltd. v. Apple (“RNN”) 22-cv-1832-WHO (ND Cal); and
`
`(2) Lionra Technologies v Apple (“Lionra”), 23-cv-00513-ADA (WD Tex). Prior to the
`
`hearing, Apple agreed to produce the licenses already produced in the RNN case that have
`
`not yet been produced here and represented that no licenses have been produced in the
`
`Lionra case. The Court therefore denies this request for relief as moot. Identity Security is
`
`not seeking a witness on this license production.
`
`(4)
`
`Identity Security seeks productions showing the user interface for any applications of the
`
`Accused Functionality, including Touch ID, Face ID, Passcode, Apple ID, and name
`
`functionality. In other words, Identity Security seeks, for example, “what an individual
`
`would see when they set up an iPhone, what would an individual see when they’re trying
`
`to use touch ID or face ID.” Oct. 24 Hr’g Tr. 25:17–19. Apple is ordered to produce
`
`documents and/or videos showing such user interfaces for the applications of the Accused
`
`Functionality and startup functionality for each iteration of the individual operating
`
`systems for the Accused Products. Oct. 24 Hr’g Tr. at 23:15-32:4.
