`

`Pursuant to Rules 26 and 33 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiffs
`Boston Scientific Corporation and Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc. (collectively,
`“Boston Scientific”) hereby serves its first supplemental objections and responses to
`the Interrogatories Nos. 8, 10, and 14 served by Edwards Lifesciences Corporation
`(“Edwards”).
`
`PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
`Boston Scientific’s investigation, discovery, and analysis are ongoing, and
`Boston Scientific’s response to each of these interrogatories is based on information
`and documents presently available to Boston Scientific after a reasonable
`investigation. Boston Scientific reserves the right to supplement or amend these
`responses in the event that further information and/or documents are disclosed or
`discovered.
`Specific objections to Interrogatories Nos. 8, 10, and 14 are made on an
`individual basis in the response below. In addition to these specific objections,
`Boston Scientific makes certain continuing objections (“General Objections”) to
`Edwards’s “Definitions” and “General Instructions” for interrogatories. These
`General Objections are hereby incorporated by reference into the responses made to
`each separate interrogatory. For particular emphasis, Boston Scientific has, from
`time to time, expressly included one or more of the General Objections in certain of
`its responses below. Boston Scientific’s response to each individual interrogatory is
`submitted without prejudice to, and without in any respect waiving, any General
`Objections not expressly set forth in that specific response. Accordingly, the
`inclusion of any specific objection in a response to an interrogatory below is neither
`intended as, nor shall in any way be deemed to be, a waiver of any General
`Objections or of any other specific objection made herein or that may be asserted at a
`later date. In addition, the failure to include at this time any continuing or specific
`objection to an interrogatory is neither intended as, nor shall in any way be deemed to

`be, a waiver of Boston Scientific’s right to assert that or any other objection at a later
`date.
`
`No incidental or implied admissions are intended by the responses herein. Any
`response and/or objections to a particular interrogatory shall not be taken as an
`admission that Boston Scientific accepts or admits the existence of any “fact” set
`forth in or assumed by that request.
`GENERAL OBJECTIONS
`Boston Scientific makes the following General Objections to Edwards’s
`Interrogatories Nos. 8, 10, and 14, including without limitation the instructions and
`definitions set forth therein, whether or not separately set forth in each response to
`each individual interrogatory:
`1.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they seek
`information protected by any relevant privilege or legal protection, including, without
`limitation, the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, the joint defense
`privilege, the settlement or settlement negotiation privilege, settlement materials, or
`trial preparation materials. Any statement herein to the effect that Boston Scientific
`will provide information in response to an interrogatory is limited to information that
`does not fall within the scope of any relevant privilege.
`2.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they are
`overly broad, unduly burdensome, or seek information that is not relevant to any
`party’s claim or defense or not proportional to the needs of the case.
`3.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they are
`vague, ambiguous, and use unlimited, undefined, subjective, or open-ended terms or
`phrases.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they seek
`4.
`purely legal conclusions.
`5.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent that the
`purported benefit of the discovery sought by the interrogatories is outweighed by the

`

`burden and expense of responding to the interrogatories pursuant to Rule 26(b)(1) and
`26(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Boston Scientific objects to the
`interrogatories to the extent they attempt to impose burdens on Boston Scientific
`inconsistent with, or in excess of, the requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil
`Procedure and the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Central
`District of California.
`6.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they seek
`confidential, proprietary, trade secret, private or financial information that is
`protected from disclosure by any applicable trade secret or privacy statute or law.
`Boston Scientific will provide such information pursuant to an appropriate protective
`order and, to the extent applicable, with the consent of any third party that may claim
`confidentiality rights with respect to information responsive to the interrogatory.
`7.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they seek
`information unknown to Boston Scientific, that refers to persons, entities, or events
`not known to Boston Scientific, or that relates to documents not within Boston
`Scientific’s possession, custody, or control. Such a requirement would exceed
`Boston Scientific’s obligations under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and/or the
`Local Rules of the Central District of California and would subject Boston Scientific
`to unreasonable and undue oppression, burden, and expense. In responding to these
`interrogatories, Boston Scientific shall respond only on behalf of itself and shall not
`undertake the burden and expense of attempting to provide information presently
`unknown to Boston Scientific or relating to documents outside Boston Scientific’s
`possession, custody, or control.
`8.
`Boston Scientific objects to the interrogatories to the extent they fail
`to specify a relevant time period, or to the extent any part of any specified time period
`is irrelevant to any claim or defense at issue in this case, on the grounds that the
`interrogatories are overly broad, unduly burdensome, and seek information that is
`neither relevant to any party’s claims or defenses nor proportional to the needs of the

`

`case. Boston Scientific will conduct a reasonable investigation of the documents and
`things in its possession, custody, or control.
`9.
`Boston Scientific objects to each interrogatory to the extent it
`contains multiple discrete subparts that constitute more than one interrogatory.
`10.
`Boston Scientific objects to the terms “Plaintiffs,” “Boston
`Scientific,” “Boston,” “You,” and “Your” as defined in the interrogatories, as overly
`broad and unduly burdensome, to the extent the interrogatories purport to seek
`information relating to persons or entities that are separate and distinct from Boston
`Scientific and over whom Boston Scientific exercises no control. In responding to
`these interrogatories, Boston Scientific shall interpret the terms “Plaintiffs,” “Boston
`Scientific,” “Boston,” “You,” and “Your” to refer only to Boston Scientific
`Corporation, Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc., and Sadra Medical, Inc.
`11.
`Discovery is ongoing in this action, and Boston Scientific has not
`completed its discovery or investigation into the parties’ claims and defenses. Boston
`Scientific therefore objects and responds to these interrogatories based upon
`information in its possession after reasonable inquiry at the time of preparation of
`these interrogatories. Boston Scientific reserves the right at any time to revise,
`correct, supplement, and/or clarify any of the responses.
`SPECIFIC RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS
`INTERROGATORY NO. 8: For each of the Patents-In-Suit, identify all products,
`current or past, that fall within the scope of any claim of the Patents-In-Suit, and for
`each such product, identify each person or entity that makes, has made, offers for
`sale, has offered for sale, sells, or has sold the product; identify the asserted claim(s)
`that the product practices, identify the first and last dates the product was made,
`offered for sale, and sold, and identify the persons most knowledgeable about the

`

`Boston Scientific objects to this interrogatory to the extent it seeks information
`protected by the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, and/or any other
`applicable privilege or immunity. Boston Scientific further objects to this request to
`the extent that it seeks to impose upon Boston Scientific the obligation to investigate
`or discover information from third parties. Boston Scientific further objects to this
`interrogatory as containing multiple subparts. Boston Scientific further objects to this
`interrogatory as premature because Edwards have not yet produced discovery
`requested by Boston Scientific in this case to which this interrogatory pertains.
`Boston Scientific further objects to this interrogatory to the extent that it seeks “each
`person or entity.”
`Subject to and without waiver of its general and specific objections, Boston
`Scientific responds as follows.
`Edwards at least makes, has made, offers for sale, has offered for sale, sells,
`and has sold the accused products identified in Table II above, which fall within the
`scope of the asserted claims of the ’543, ’558, ’962, ’827, ’560, ’234, and ’062
`patents. Boston Scientific further incorporates its responses to Interrogatory Nos. 1-
`5.
`
`Boston Scientific continues to investigate the information sought by this
`interrogatory and reserves the right to supplement its response in accordance with the
`Federal Rules as additional information becomes available.
`FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO INTERROGATORY NO. 8:
`Boston Scientific incorporates its previous objections and responses to this
`interrogatory as if fully set forth herein. Subject to its general and specific objections,
`Boston Scientific supplement and amends its responses as follows:
`The following Boston Scientific products fall within the scope of at least one of
`the identified asserted claims of the ’543, ’558, ’962, ’827, ’234, and ’062 patents:

`Boston Scientific objects to this interrogatory to the extent it seeks information
`protected by the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, and/or any other

`Scientific incorporates by reference the documents identified pursuant to Federal
`Rule of Civil Procedure 33(d) in Boston Scientific’s First Supplemental Response to

`For each of the products identified in response to Interrogatory No. 13, identify
`documents sufficient to describe the product’s structure and method of manufacture
`and identify which of the following features the product includes (as the terms are
`used in Your response to Edwards’s Interrogatory No. 1): “mounting body,” “outer
`tube forming [an] intermediate layer”, “distal stop,” “at least one fold extending from
`the first end to the second end of [a] balloon cylinder,” or manufacture by “weld[ing]
`the folded balloon cylinder to at least one shaft of the catheter.”

`catheter.” Boston Scientific further objects to this request to the extent that it calls for
`a legal conclusion or an expert opinion. Boston Scientific further objects to this
`interrogatory as containing multiple subparts.

`identify documents from which answers may be derived or ascertained pursuant to
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(d).
