`
`Joe,
`
`We are disappointed that UVAPF has reneged on the parties' agreement ‐ an agreement that would decrease the
`burden on the Board.
`
`Your statement that UVAPF has been working on this for over a week is simply false; UVAPF first sent GE a draft motion
`to seal after close of business on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. What UVAPF has been doing for over a week is
`sending insulting emails, accusing me of "making idiotic statements" and "vacuous threats". Such sharp practice is not
`appropriate in any venue, but even less so before the PTAB, which expects better of the lawyers who practice before it.
`
`GE will not publicly file any documents or testimony that UVAPF has identified as confidential.

`We have spent an enormous amount of time and effort trying to get GE's agreement on a motion to seal for over a

`
`This draft of the unopposed motion does not reflect GE's position stated in my email below. Furthermore, please
`provide properly redacted copies of the emails ‐ at least the to, from, cc, and Subject lines are not confidential and
`certain content appears to be non‐confidential, also. UVAPF must make a good faith effort to seal only confidential
`information.
`
`Please correct the the draft motion to include the following statement:
`
`GE has requested but UVAPF has not yet produced in the IPRs the agreements on which it relies for the alleged
`confidentiality of documents and testimony. As a compromise to avoid a dispute before the Board and without agreeing
`that any confidentiality applies to any of Mugler’s testimony, GE agrees to provisionally designate as confidential in its
`Replies the following passages from the Mugler transcript: 142:10‐12, 149:12‐14, and 195:11‐199:4. To avoid a dispute
`before the Board and without agreeing that any confidentiality applies to the content of any email, GE also provisionally
`agrees to designate the content of the identified emails as confidential in the Replies. GE retains all rights to request
`that the Board unseal any or all these documents at a later date, including after UVAPF produces in the IPR he requested
`agreements, or if the Board relies upon this information in its Final Written Decisions, or if the information is relevant to
`any issue in the litigation, or for any other reason.
`
`
`
`Please send a copy of the unopposed motion and redacted versions of the emails as soon as possible.

`
`Attached is the unopposed motion and renumbered exhibits, excluding the deposition transcript itself, which our

`
`We trust that GE will not publicly file or disclose the content of any testimony that has been identified by UVAPF as
`confidential pursuant to 77 Fed. Reg. 48771, which states that “[w]ithin ten days of the receipt of the transcript of the
`testimony, that person, or that person’s representative, shall advise the opposing party of those portions of the
`testimony to which a claim of confidentiality is to be maintained, and the reasons in support of that claim. Such portions
`shall be treated as confidential and maintained under seal in any filings to the Board unless, upon motion of a party and
`after a hearing on the issue, or sua sponte, the Board determines that some or all of the redacted information does not
`qualify for confidential treatment.”

`
`Joe,
`
`UVAPF still has not produced in the IPRs the agreements on which it relies for the alleged confidentiality of documents
`and testimony. UVAPF’s continued lack of good faith is clear, but despite UVAPF’s behavior, GE further responds as
`follows:
`
`Regarding your request below that GE identify why it needs to rely on the disputed information, for the emails, this was
`discussed in detail during the discovery dispute and correspondence concerning those documents – they also are
`relevant at least because
`
`
`
`To the extent there is any confidentiality interest in any of that information (and GE
`does not agree that there is any), it is outweighed by the “strong public policy in favor of making information filed in
`[post grant] review open to the public, especially because the proceeding determines the patentability of claims in an
`

`
`
`
`issued patent and, therefore, affects the rights of the public.” Apple v Sightsound Technologies, 2014 WL 1867336
`(Patent Tr. & App. Bd.)
`
`To obviate UVAPF’s concern regarding the Forbearance Agreement, and as a compromise to avoid a dispute before the
`Board and without agreeing that the Agreement applies to any of Mugler’s testimony, GE will agree to provisionally
`designate as confidential the following two passages in its Replies: 142:10‐12 and 149:12‐14: None of the other
`testimony even arguably reveals the content of any communication or document protected by the Forbearance
`Agreement. Regarding 195:11 – 199:4 elicited by UVAPF, UVAPF has not identified any portion of any agreement that
`allegedly protects such testimony, but as a compromise to avoid a dispute before the Board and without agreeing that
`any unidentified agreement protects such testimony, GE will agree to provisionally designate that passage as
`confidential in its Replies. GE retains all rights to request that the Board unseal any or all these documents at a later
`date, including after UVAPF produces in the IPR he requested agreements, or if the Board relies upon those documents
`in its Final Written Decision, or if the information is relevant to any issue in the litigation, or for any other reason.
`
`In addition, GE has reduced the number of emails that it will submit with its Replies. GE does not agree that any of the
`emails contain any confidential information and UVAPF has not produced in the IPR or identified any portion of any
`agreement that would warrant such protection. However, to avoid a dispute before the Board and without agreeing
`that any unproduced agreement protects such documents, GE will agree to designate the below emails as confidential in
`the replies.
`
`
`
`Please immediately provide an updated exhibit list with numbering to reflect the fewer number of exhibits.
`
`Please also immediately provide for our review a draft of the Unopposed Motion and of the Opposed Motion that reflect
`GE’s compromise proposal concerning the Mugler transcript and these four emails: Upon receipt of the new draft
`Motions, we will promptly indicate our agreement or any concerns, as appropriate.

`Joe,
`
`As I requested yesterday and which you have so far ignored: “If you are relying on those agreements to prevent public
`disclosure of allegedly‐confidential information, GE is entitled to argue to the Board that they provide no such
`protection. Please promptly produce all such agreements in the IPRs or withdraw your reliance thereon.” In addition, for
`each of the allegations of confidentiality based upon those agreements, please point out each portion of each

`As explained in Clio USA, Inc. v. Procter and Gamble Co., IPR2013‐00348, Paper No. 50 (PTAB Sept. 29, 2014), it is
`UVAPF, as the party whose confidential information is at issue, who should be the party moving to seal. And, as the
`moving party, it is UVAPF’s burden to show that the information is truly confidential. 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(c). GE is providing
`this list so that UVAPF has ample time to prepare its motion to seal before GE’s Nov. 28 reply deadline.
`
`In addition, so that GE can evaluate whether it will oppose UVAPF’s motion, for each of the above documents, please:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Identify the confidential information in each exhibit and explain UVAPF’s reasons for asserting
`confidentiality
`State whether UVAPF is asserting confidentiality of the entire exhibit or only some portions
`For those exhibits where UVAPF alleges confidentiality as to some but not all of the information in the
`exhibit, please provide the required non‐confidential version to be publicly filed that redacts any
`confidential information.
`
`Please provide the requested information no later than COB on Monday, Nov. 21.

`RE: Discussions Regarding GE's Motion to Compel
`
`UVAPF has been very reasonable in attempting to schedule Dr. Kiefer’s deposition. As you know, Dr. Kiefer and Dr.
`Mugler both testified that Dr. Kiefer did not conceive of any subject matter in Mugler 2000.
`
`
`
` UVAPF originally arranged for Dr. Kiefer to be deposed in New York City on either October 11 or
`October 14, but GE passed on that opportunity.
`
` UVAPF produced those documents to GE on Oct. 24.
`UVAPF and Dr. Mugler had no obligation to perform that search, and did it solely (1) because of the Board’s
`instruction to try to resolve this dispute and (2) to avoid the expense of a motion to compel.
`
`
`In view of this history,
`we find it very troubling that GE has alleged in its recently filed ’109 IPR that Mugler 2000 is 102(a) prior art.
`
`
`
`
`
`GE advised UVAPF multiple times that it would consider deposing Dr. Kiefer by telephone or videoconference once
`UVAPF produced the additional documents. So even though it was not required to do so, UVAPF arranged for Dr.
`Kiefer to be deposed by telephone or videoconference on either Nov. 15, 16, or 17. But as soon as UVAPF
`produced the additional documents, GE rejected that offer too.
`
`UVAPF subsequently arranged for Dr. Kiefer to be deposed on Dec. 1 in Chicago. Because that date is three days
`after GE’s deadline to file its reply, UVAPF conditioned that deposition on GE taking the lead on securing an
`acceptable schedule modification. UVAPF will cooperate in that process, but given the effort UVAPF has put forth to
`date, GE should assume that responsibility. UVAPF also requested, for at least the fourth time, that GE provide
`proposed dates for Dr. Pelc’s deposition.
`
`GE has rejected this offer as well. UVAPF has been extremely reasonable in arranging for GE to depose Dr. Kiefer.
`Since it appears that GE does not desire to depose him on Dec. 1, we will tell him to release that date from his
`calendar.

`
`David,
`
`UVAPF has produced all of the documents it agreed to produce.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Your email restates GE’s original document requests. GE agreed not to pursue those requests in exchange for
`UVAPF’s agreement to allow GE to use 31 documents from the district court case and the additional 19 documents
`UVAPF has now provided. Does GE now plan to renege on that agreement? If so, then GE needs to return all such
`documents and no longer has UVAPF’s consent to use them in this proceeding.
`
`With respect to Dr. Kiefer’s deposition, UVAPF arranged for GE to depose Dr. Kiefer in New York City on Oct. 11 or
`14. GE passed on that opportunity. GE subsequently advised UVAPF that it would consider deposing Dr. Kiefer by
`telephone or videoconference. So even though it was not required to do so, UVAPF arranged for Dr. Kiefer to be
`deposed by telephone or videoconference on November 15-17. Your email below rejects that offer also.
`
`As explained below, Dr. Kiefer is not available to travel to the U.S. at this time. The earliest he can be deposed in
`the U.S. is December 1, likely in Chicago. UVAPF will arrange for GE to depose him on that date provided that (1)
`GE provides UVAPF with a proposed modification to the schedule that is acceptable to UVAPF and the Board, and
`(2) GE provides acceptable dates for Dr. Pelc’s deposition, which we have been requesting for many weeks.

`
`
`
`David,
`
`
`
`Ari is back in Asia this week.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`We have advised you that Dr. Kiefer has told us that he does not have emails from this time period. His CV is
`attached.
`
`
`
`We also advised you tha
`
` Please have the outside lawyers who intend to the view the
`documents sign the attached acknowledgement so the documents uncovered by this search can be produced to
`them.

`General Electric Co. - Exhibit 1051, Page 13
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`As you know, UVAPF previously arranged for GE to depose Dr. Kiefer in New York City on either Oct. 11 or
`14, but GE passed on that opportunity. UVAPF subsequently requested GE’s agreement that Dr. Kiefer’s
`deposition would be taken by telephone or video conference. Dr. Kiefer is available to be deposed on November
`15, 16, or 17 by telephone or videoconference starting at either 2:00 p.m. or 3:00 p.m. (Germany time). He is
`not available to travel to the U.S. for his deposition. Please let us know whether GE desires to take his
`deposition by telephone or videoconference on any of those dates.
`
`
`
`Finally, we have asked multiple times for GE to provide proposed dates for Dr. Pelc’s deposition, which will
`have to occur in the middle of the holiday season when all of our schedules are packed. GE has advised that it
`will not provide dates until after Dr. Hennig’s deposition on November 9. There is no reason to wait until
`November 9 to reserve dates for Dr. Pelc’s deposition. Please provide potential dates for the deposition so we
`can get them on our calendars.
`
`
`
`Best regards,
`
`
`
`Joe

`Joe,

`
`General Electric Co. - Exhibit 1051, Page 16
`
`
`
`We appreciate your offer of compromise and also would like to avoid motion practice.
`
`
`
`GE is willing to agree not to file the motions authorized by the Board’s October 7 Order, but with three changes
`or clarifications to your offer below:
`
`
`
`1) That you include documents 1 and 3 in the list of documents GE can use.
`
`2)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`3) Because UVAPF is asserting confidentiality, the motion to seal must be made by UVAPF or jointly.
`Clio USA, Inc. v. Procter & Gamble Co., IPR2013-00438, Paper No. 50 at 3 (P.T.A.B. Sept. 29, 2014). GE will
`consult and cooperate with UVAPF in protecting UVAPF’s confidential information.
`
`
`
`Please confirm by 4:00 PT today that UVAPF will agree to these clarifications and changes.
`
`
`
`Thanks,
`
`

`
`
`
`David,
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`General Electric Co. - Exhibit 1051, Page 17
`
`
`
`Nevertheless, in an attempt to avoid motion practice and in view of the PTAB’s instruction to try to resolve
`disputes, UVAPF stated during yesterday’s call that it would provide a list of the documents from the 51 that it
`will agree that GE can use in the IPRs.
`
`
`
`UVAPF previously pointed out that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`GE has not articulated a credible reason why any of the remaining 31 documents are discoverable. Nevertheless,
`if GE agrees not to file a motion to compel, UVAPF will agree that GE can use the 31 documents (i.e., the 31
`documents that have not been crossed out below) in the IPRs provided that GE treats them in all respects as
`Confidential Information under the default protective order and takes all reasonable steps necessary to seal any
`of the documents it files in the IPRs.
`
`
`
`If GE elects instead to move to compel documents, then this offer is withdrawn and GE may not use the
`documents absent a PTAB order compelling their use. Further, UVAPF does not agree to GE’s use in a motion
`to compel of any of UVAPF’s documents that are subject to the protective order in the district court case.
`
`
`
`Also, we expect to produce Dr. Kiefer’s CV next week.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Please let us know GE’s position by the close of business tomorrow.
`
`
`
`Best regards,
`
`
`
`Joe

`
`
`
`David,
`
`
`
`
`
`The PTAB instructed GE during Friday’s telephone conference to narrow the scope of its document requests.
`After the conference, GE sent us the two document requests in the email below, which combined two of its
`previous requests into a single request but did not reduce their scope. GE’s email states that UVAPF refused to
`discuss a narrower request
