`

`
`
`ORDER
`MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY
`37 C.F.R. § 42.51
`
`This morning, patent owner requested a telephone conference call to discuss
`
`
`
`its discovery requests to the petitioner. The papers accompanying that request are
`
`attached to this communication. The conference call will be held tomorrow
`
`morning, February 14th, 2013 at 11:00 AM.
`
`
`
`Case IPR 2012-00001
`Patent 6,778,074
`
`
`
`Under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, discovery is available for the
`
`deposition of witnesses submitting affidavits or declarations and for “what is
`
`otherwise necessary in the interest of justice.” 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(5); see also 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(2)(“The moving party must show that such additional discovery
`
`is in the interest of justice ….”). That is significantly different from the scope of
`
`discovery generally available under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
`
`
`
`During the scheduled conference call, counsel for patent owner should be
`
`prepared to explain specifically why each item in patent owner’s proposed
`
`discovery request meets the applicable standard of discovery in this proceeding. In
`
`particular, with respect to each item of the proposed discovery request, counsel for
`
`patent owner should be prepared to indicate the full extent the patent owner, from
`
`its own perspective, already has the substantive information requested. The patent
`
`owner’s own answers will provide a foundation on which to evaluate the questions
`
`of need and interest of justice.
`
`
`
`In the interest of streamlining the issues, the patent owner is urged to
`
`reconsider the scope of its proposed discovery before the conference call and
`
`modify its list of requested items accordingly.
`
`
`
`
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that a telephone conference call will be held tomorrow,
`
`February 14, 2013, at 11:00 AM to discuss any remaining items of proposed
`
`discovery still desired by the patent owner.

`
`
`Dear Jennifer:
`
`
`I write on behalf of patent owner Cuozzo Speed Technologies LLC seeking
`Petitioner’s agreement to present a witness or witnesses to testify on behalf of the
`Petitioner at a mutually agreeable location and date. The topics of the examination
`would relate to matters at issue in the IPR. These include, generally: (i) Garmin’s
`efforts to design, develop, and commercialize a speed limit warning feature; (ii)
`Garmin’s discussions with the inventor G. Cuozzo prior to CST’s lawsuit; (iii)
`Garmin’s marketing of the speed alert/warning feature; and (iv) Garmin’s views of the
`success of the speed alert /warning feature in the marketplace.
`
`
`Please let me know if Petitioner will agree to present a witness or witnesses and
`some available dates for the deposition. If Petitioner will not, please let me know when
`you are available for a conference call with the Board so CST can formally request this
`additional discovery.
`
`
`

`

`
`
`
`I.
`
`INSTRUCTIONS
`
`In responding and producing documents and things responsive to these
`
`Requests, you shall comply with the Board’s Scheduling Order and the limitations
`
`on discovery set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the following
`
`instructions:
`
`1.
`
`These requests are continuous in nature, and pursuant to Federal Rule
`
`of Civil Procedure 26(e), the responding party is under a duty to timely amend
`
`each prior response to a request for production if the responding party learns that
`
`the response is incomplete or incorrect in some material respect, or if any
`
`information or documents are hereafter identified, located or acquired.
`
`2.
`
`These instructions and definitions should be construed to require
`
`responses based upon the information available to the responding party as well as
`
`your attorneys, representatives, investigators, and others acting on your behalf or
`
`under your control.
`
`3.
`
`In producing documents and things, you are to produce the original of
`
`each document or thing requested together with all non-identical copies and drafts
`
`of each document or thing. Any comment, notation, or marking appearing on any
`
`document, and not a part of the original, is to be considered a separate document,
`
`and any draft, preliminary form, or superseded version of any document is also to
`
`CST’S FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION TO GARMIN
`
`2
`
`
`
`be considered a separate document. Documents attached to each other must not be
`
`separated.
`
`4.
`
`You must produce documents and things either (a) as they are kept in
`
`the usual course of business, or (b) organized and labeled to correspond with the
`
`particular categories set forth below. All documents and things should be
`
`produced in the file, folder, envelope, or other container in which the documents or
`
`things are kept or maintained. If for any reason the container cannot be produced,
`
`please produce copies of all labels or other identifying markings.
`
`5.
`
`If any requested document or thing cannot be produced in full, please
`
`produce it to the extent possible, indicating what is being withheld and the reason it
`
`is being withheld.
`
`6.
`
`If you are unable to produce a responsive document, state in writing
`
`why you cannot produce the document and, if your inability to produce the
`
`document or the property is because it is not in your possession or the possession
`
`of a person from whom you could obtain it, state the name, address, and telephone
`
`number of any person you believe may have the original or a copy of any such
`
`document.
`
`7.
`
`If a document or thing once existed, but has been lost or destroyed or
`
`is otherwise no longer in your possession, custody, or control, identify the
`
`document or thing and state the details concerning the loss or destruction of such
`
`CST’S FIRST SET OF REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION TO GARMIN

`
`
`
`document or thing, including the name and address of the present custodian of such
`
`document or thing if known.
`
`8.
`
`If you object to a portion or an aspect of any request, state the grounds
`
`of your objection with specificity and respond to the remainder of the request.
`
`9.
`
`If, in answering these requests, you encounter any ambiguities when
`
`construing a request, instruction, or definition, your response shall set forth the
`
`matter deemed ambiguous and the construction used in responding.
`
`10. Where a claim of privilege is asserted in responding or objecting to
`
`any of these requests and information is not provided on the basis of such
`
`assertion, you shall, in your response or objection, identify the nature of the
`
`privilege (including work product) which is being claimed. When any privilege is
`
`claimed, you shall indicate, as to the information requested, whether: (a) any
`
`documents exist, or (b) any communications took place, and (c) also provide the
`
`following information for each such document in a “privileged documents log” or
`
`similar format:
`
`(a) the type of document;
`
`(b) the general subject matter of the document;
`
`(c) the date of the document;
`
`(d) the author(s) of the document;
`
`(e) the addressee(s) and any other recipient(s) of the document; and

`

`
`
`
`(f)
`
`the custodian of the document, where applicable.
`
`11.
`
`If responsive documents are maintained in a file, the file folder itself
`
`is responsive and should be produced along with the responsive documents.
`
`12. Your responses and production of documents must be received at the
`
`offices of Counsel in Austin, Texas on or before March 1, 2013.
