`
`Dear Judge Connolly,
`Genentech respectfully requests that the Court deny Amgen’s requests set forth in its
`October 4, 2019 discovery dispute letter.
`I. The Court Should Reject Amgen’s Eleventh-Hour Attempt To Seek Fact Discovery
`Regarding A New And Untimely “Derivation” Defense.
`Four of Amgen’s requests seek untimely fact discovery in connection with an equally
`untimely “derivation” defense that Amgen raised for the first time last month.1 Amgen never
`previously pleaded that defense, nor did it amend its pleadings to include that defense by the April
`5, 2019 deadline. Amgen wants to argue that the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,627,196,
`7,371,379, and 10,160,811 (“the Dosing Patents”) were invented by Dr. Brian Leyland-Jones, one
`of the physicians who worked on the clinical trials, and not the named inventors. Amgen
`
`
`
`
`
`Now, less than nine weeks before trial, and with new trial counsel for Amgen having
`recently entered an appearance, Amgen is using the production of a single email authored by Dr.
`Sharon Baughman, one of the named inventors of the Dosing Patents, as its sole excuse to raise
`this new defense. Dr. Baughman testified at her deposition that
`
`
`—and she testified at length and answered dozens of questions on that topic during
`her deposition. D.I. 397 at 2; Ex. 1 at 132:4-10. In order to avoid a discovery dispute over the
`email, which included privileged attorney-client communications, Genentech produced a redacted
`version of the document, reflecting the portion on which Dr. Baughman relied.
`The Court should reject Amgen’s belated effort to re-open fact discovery in order to fish
`for evidence to support its untimely “derivation” defense. Amgen has known of the facts
`underlying inventorship and the work leading up to the patents for months, if not years. With that
`information in hand, Amgen stopped pursuing many of the discovery requests that it now presses
`before the Court. For example, Amgen withdrew its notice of deposition of Dr. Leyland-Jones,
`stopped responding to Genentech’s letters with respect to the Roche documents, and waited over
`a month before following up on Dr. Baughman’s email to counsel. The facts on the ground have
`not changed. Dr. Baughman’s redacted email does not reflect any new or previously unknown
`facts;
`
`
`
` What has changed, apparently, is Amgen’s desired trial strategy.
`Allowing Amgen to chase its untimely “derivation” defense now would be unfairly
`prejudicial to Genentech. Genentech has not been given any opportunity to develop its own
`rebuttal fact or expert evidence, and cannot reasonably do so in the weeks remaining before trial,
`when the parties are deposing experts, preparing pretrial filings, and getting ready for the trial.
`Genentech’s opening letter brief, which seeks a protective order against Amgen taking Dr.
`Leyland-Jones’s deposition, explains why Amgen’s belated effort to take this discovery should be
`denied. D.I. 397 at 1-3. This response focuses on the specific arguments raised in Amgen’s letter.
`
`
`1 Genentech intends to file a motion to strike this defense by the relevant deadline.

`
`Unredacted Version of Dr. Baughman’s Privileged Email. The Court should reject
`Amgen’s request to compel production of an unredacted version of the email authored by Dr.
`Baughman, sent to litigation counsel during the pendency of this case, and clearly marked
`“Attorney-Client Privilege.” Ex. 2. During her deposition, Dr. Baughman testified that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Dr. Baughman was asked
`
`
`After the deposition, Genentech wrote to Amgen to explain that Dr. Baughman’s review
`of a privileged document that she herself wrote to refresh her own recollection is not discoverable,
`as it could not have impacted her testimony. See, e.g., In re Rivastigmine Patent Litig., 486 F.
`Supp. 2d 241, 243-44 (S.D.N.Y. 2007); Sporck v. Peil, 759 F.2d 312, 318 (3d Cir. 1985). Amgen
`did not respond for over a month, and when it did eventually respond, it took the position that the
`email was discoverable in its entirety. Ex. 3. To avoid a further dispute, Genentech produced a
`redacted version of the email containing
`
`
`.”
`Even where a court finds it necessary in the interests of justice to require production of a
`privileged document relied upon by a witness at a deposition, only the portions the witness actually
`relied on need be produced. See, e.g., S&A Painting Co., Inc. v. O.W.B. Corp., 103 F.R.D. 407
`(W.D. Pa. 1984) (privilege only waived as to portions actually referred to during deposition);
`Valvoline Instant Oil Change Franchising v. RFG Oil, Inc., 2014 WL 12026073 (S.D. Cal. May
`20, 2014) (same); Adidas Am., Inc. v. TRB Acquisitions LLC, 2018 WL 4849312, at *3 (D. Or.
`Oct. 5, 2018) (same). That is exactly what Genentech did here. Nothing more is required.
`Second Deposition of Dr. Baughman. Amgen argues that it is entitled to “continue” Dr.
`Baughman’s deposition, without seeking leave of court, because Amgen’s counsel purportedly
`attempted to unilaterally hold the deposition open. But a party cannot unilaterally hold open a
`deposition under FRCP 30(a)(2)(A)(ii) or any other applicable rule. See, e.g., Johnson v. Charps
`Welding & Fabricating, Inc., 2017 WL 9516243, at *14 (D. Minn. Mar. 3, 2017); Boerste v. Ellis,
`LLC, 2019 WL 3225709, at *3 (W.D. Ky. July 17, 2019) (“no case law to support his assertion
`that he had the ability to unilaterally suspend a deposition and continue it again at a later date”).
`Amgen also cannot show good cause for a second deposition. Dr. Baughman already
`testified at length about
`
`
`
`
`
` She also testified generally about
`
`. Ex. 1 at 122:19-123:25; 130:25-131:2.
`Amgen mischaracterizes the redacted email in suggesting that it
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-00924-CFC-SRF Document 443 Filed 10/24/19 Page 5 of 42 PageID #:
`32545
`
`that
`Dr. Baughman explained
`
` She explained that
`
`2 It does no such thing. The redacted email merely states, at a high level,
`
`
`
`
`
`
` D.I. 397 at 2. Thus, Dr. Baughman has already explained
`
`And, regardless, Amgen counsel had ample opportunity to conduct any follow-up with Dr.
`Baughman and question her about the extent of Dr. Leyland-Jones’ further involvement (if any) in
`Genentech’s work regarding three weekly dosing, but failed to do so. Dr. Baughman’s email does
`not create an excuse for a second deposition.
`Waived and Untimely Deposition of Dr. Leyland-Jones. As explained in Genentech’s
`opening letter brief seeking a protective order, Amgen obtained ample discovery on inventorship
`of the Dosing Patents and on Dr. Leyland-Jones’s involvement with the three-weekly dosing
`regimen and relevant clinical trial. D.I. 397 at 1-2. Moreover,
`
`
` Ex. 1 to D.I. 397. Ultimately, Amgen chose to forgo that deposition. There is no
`excuse for Amgen to seek such a deposition now and, for the reasons above and in Genentech’s
`motion for protective order, Dr. Baughman’s redacted email does not provide any such excuse.
`Waived and Untimely Request for Roche Documents. Amgen sought these very same
`documents during fact discovery. Genentech responded on April 12, 2019, and objected to the
`production of documents from Roche. Ex. 4 at 2. Amgen did not respond at all to Genentech’s
`letter. Having sat on its hands for nearly 6 months, Amgen has waived any requests relating to
`Roche documents on the dosing patents and the BO15935 Clinical Trial. Moreover, the requested
`documents relate to research and clinical trial work from over 20 years ago. It would be unfair
`and unduly burdensome to require Genentech to search for those documents weeks before trial.
`II. There Are No Non-Privileged Documents Relating To Genentech’s Internal
`Decision-Making On Certain License Agreements And Their Terms.
`With respect to Amgen’s fifth discovery request, Genentech searched for non-privileged,
`responsive documents and has not identified any such documents. As Genentech has explained,
`
`Ex. 5 at 2; Ex. 6 at 2-3; D.I.
`222 at 4. There are no documents to produce, and providing a 30(b)(6) witness would be futile.
`Amgen seeks a privilege log, but many of the relevant discussions occurred during the pendency
`of this litigation, which the protective order states need not be logged. D.I. 50 at 2(e)(ii).
`Additionally, as Amgen itself has argued, it would be overly burdensome at this point to generate
`a log on this issue now, while the trial is just weeks away. Ex. 7 at 1; D.I. 266 at 10, n.5.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2 Amgen also suggests that the named inventors testified they
` They did not testify as such. In the quoted snippets in Amgen’s letter,

` MR. BRAUSA: Objection. Form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I have no idea.
`
`BY MR. KNAUSS:
`
` Q When you were performing the
`
`pharmacokinetic modeling in 1998, '99, were you
`
`collaborating with anybody from Roche?
`
` A I don't recall any collaborations.
`
` Q Within the context of Trastuzumab
`
`development, what was your first interaction with
`
`Brian Leyland-Jones?
`
` MR. BRAUSA: Objection. Form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Brian was one of the
`
`clinicians on -- I don't know the term -- but like a
`
`scientific advisory board, early on, probably right
`
`around Phase III. I don't recall specifically.
`
`BY MR. KNAUSS:
`
` Q When you say "right around Phase III," do
`
`you mean when the Phase III trials were just
`
`beginning?
`
` A I believe so, yes.
`
` Q Okay. Did Brian participate -- forgive
`
`me. I'm being too informal.
`
` Did Dr. Leyland-Jones participate in the
`
`Phase III trials?
`
` A I don't know specifically if he did. I

`
`BY MR. KNAUSS:
`
` Q Why do you assume so?
`
` A We had discussions before I left the

`
` Q You and Dr. Leyland-Jones had discussions
`
`about it?
`
` A Yes, we did.
`
` Q When was the first time you had a
`
`discussion with Dr. Leyland-Jones about three-weekly
`
`dosing?
`
` A I don't recall.

` A It's -- it was more recently. Last couple

` Q Okay. The email in question, did you
` write it?
`12:58:19
` A Yes.
` Q Okay. And in that email, you were
` describing work that you did?
` A Yes.
` MR. BRAUSA: And I'm going to caution the
`12:58:26
` witness --
` MR. KNAUSS: Yeah, I --
` MR. BRAUSA: -- we've got a privilege log
` that I know you have. We're getting into the

` MR. KNAUSS: Okay. So, Counsel, obviously
` anything that's factual in nature that the witness
` discloses to you obviously is not privileged. So
`12:58:47
` I'm going to ask some questions about this document.
` I'm not intending to invade any attorney-client
` privilege, but I want to understand the factual
` nature of the document, okay?
` Q So -- well, first of all, you -- you
`12:59:02
` stated to me that you reviewed this particular email
` in connection with preparing for the deposition.
` Is that correct?
` A Yes.
` Q And -- and specifically in connection with
`12:59:13
` preparing for testifying on Topic 7 of the -- in
` Exhibit 53?
` A Yes.
` Q Okay. So what factual information was in
` this email that you reviewed in preparation for the
`12:59:27
` deposition?
` A It was a simulation that I had done based
` on the data I had back from the 1990s.
` Q When did you perform that simulation?
` A In the last two or three years.

`13:00:07
` doing so, I instruct you not to answer.
` THE WITNESS: It was primarily to refresh

` BY MR. KNAUSS:
` Q So I just want you to walk me through the
`13:00:36
` steps you took to perform the simulation -- okay? --
` in this email.
` Did you -- strike that.
` What data did you use for the
` pharmacokinetic parameters in that simulation?
`13:00:49
` THE VIDEOGRAPHER: Your microphone.
` THE WITNESS: Sorry. I'll leave it on.
` The H0551 and H0552 data.
` BY MR. KNAUSS:
` Q Specifically the elimination constant and
`13:00:59
` volume of distribution?
` A Correct.
` Q And then what pharmacokinetic modeling
` software did you use?
` A WinNonlin.

` So for -- for counsel, I'll mention that,
`14:18:44
` off the record, during the break, I added to my
` earlier request that the email referenced by
` Dr. Baughman that she relied upon in preparation for
` her 30(b)(6) testimony be produced to us today, if
`14:18:53
` possible, so that we could question Dr. Baughman
` about it.
` Counsel has undertaken to try to
` accommodate that request and has informed me, in- --
` insofar as I can understand it, that the email in
`14:19:08
` question contains -- it's -- the body of the email
` contains no substantive data, but attached to the
` email is the result of a WinNonlin simulation, and,
` actually, rather than ask counsel to verify that,
` the -- if -- those factual matters on the record, I
`14:19:28
` want to ask the witness a few questions about that,
` and then we can return back to the issue as needed.
` Q So, Dr. Baughman --
` MR. BRAUSA: Be- -- before we do --
` MR. KNAUSS: Okay.
`14:19:39
` MR. BRAUSA: -- I just want to clarify. I
` think there was one inaccuracy. There isn't an
` attachment to the email.
` MR. KNAUSS: Thank you.
` MR. BRAUSA: There's a reference to a

`14:19:48
` limited data referring to 17 mgs per mil.
` We're looking at that and seeing when we
` can produce a redacted form of that email, if
` appropriate, but the WinNonlin simulation, the
`14:20:01
` results of the inputs to that, are in no way
` referenced or attached by -- by name as a WinNonlin
` simulation.
` And so that is a separate document that,
` my understanding is, was produced, but because of
`14:20:15
` the formatting of it, using that program, it returns
` an error. So there's a document with a Bates number
` that corresponds to that. We're endeavoring to see
` if we can produce an Excel output from that
` proprietary program.
`14:20:31
` MR. KNAUSS: Understood.
` Q Dr. Baughman, does -- did counsel's
` accounting of the -- of the email and the -- and the
` files that you relied upon in preparation for your
` testimony today -- is it accurate insofar as you
`14:20:47
` know?
` A Yes, it is.
` Q Okay. So, then, the -- so I'm fully
` understanding, when we were talking earlier today
` about things that you reviewed in preparation for

` A Yes.

`14:21:47
` 17 micrograms per mil reported in the patent.
` Is that fair?
` A That is correct.
` Q Okay. And the simulation that you're
` referring to is actually a separate computer file.
`14:22:01
` Is that right?
` A Separate computer file from what?
` Q From the email.
` A That is correct.
` Q I see.

`Re: Genentech, Inc. et al. v. Amgen, Inc., Case No. 18-924-CFC (D. Del.) – Documents Discussed
`in Baughman Deposition
`
`Counsel:
`
`I write in response to your letter dated June 11, 2019, regarding Genentech’s failure to produce relevant
`documents discussed in the deposition of Sharon Baughman. As noted in our May 30th letter, Dr.
`
`Baughman testified that
`
` In particular, Dr. Baughman stated that
`
`Indeed, Dr. Baughman
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Genentech cannot withhold the documents Amgen requests as any privilege related to these
`communications was waived when Dr. Baughman reviewed and relied upon these documents, thus
`influencing her testimony. See Thomas v. Euro RSCG Life, 264 F.R.D. 120 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 18, 2010). The
`cases Genentech cites are distinguishable and do not support Genentech’s basis for withholding the
`requested documents. In particular, the issue of Dr. Baughman’s memory is a central concern, being both
`a corporate designee and a percipient witness, and Dr. Baughman’s testimony confirms that
`
`
` Cf. In re Rivastigmine Patent Litig., (MDL No. 1661), 486 F. Supp. 2d 241, 243-44 (S.D.N.Y.
`2007) (denying motion to compel production of unredacted copies of documents reviewed by the witness
`prior to her deposition, noting in particular that the accuracy of the witnesses memory was not a central
`concern and the Court’s in camera review had indicated the redacted portions of the document were unlikely
`to have influenced the witnesses testimony with respect to the issues she was designated to testify.)
`
`Indeed, Sporck v. Peil expressly recognizes that a party may obtain documents used by a witness prior to
`testifying when the document was used to refresh the witness’s memory, it was used for the purpose of
`testifying, and the interests of justice require production. 759 F.2d 312, 317 (3d Cir. 1985); see also In re
`ML-Lee Acquisition Fund II, L.P. & ML-Lee Acquisition Fund (Ret. Accounts) II, L.P. Sec. Litig., 848 F. Supp.
`527, 567 (D. Del. 1994) (“[I]n accordance with Sporck, the Court will order Mr. Baker to produce those
`documents which he testified refreshed his recollection of certain facts.”) Such is the case here, given Dr.
`
`Baughman’s testimony indicating
` Under the circumstances,
`Genentech’s argument concerning the fact that Dr. Baughman authored the disputed email is of no moment.
`
`Furthermore, Genentech must at a minimum produce a redacted version of the email, since Dr. Baughman
`testified under oath as to factual information contained in the email – testimony to which Genentech’s

`Amgen’s request that Plaintiffs collect ESI for any additional ESI custodians, especially where

`Amgen made this request less than five weeks before the close of fact discovery. In any event,
`these individuals are not, and have never been, Genentech employees. As such, Genentech does
`not have custody or cont
