Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK SAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL APPLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
NOTICE OF MOTION TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on April 8, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as this matter may be heard in the above entitled Court, located at 280 South 1st Street, San Jose, CA 95113, Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively, Samsung) hereby move pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37 for an order to compel Apple Inc. (Apple) to provide information and transparency regarding its system for protecting confidential business information (CBI) in compliance with the protective order, including the circumstances surrounding Apples October 2013 public filing of CBI concerning certain terms of the Apple-Nokia and Apple-NEC licenses, and its subsequent filing of Samsungs and others CBI, during the time when Apple was seeking sanctions for protective order violations against Samsung. The requested information is
relevant to determine whether Apple itself has violated the protective order, and whether further remedial action by Samsung, including document production and potentially sanctions, is necessary. The information is independently relevant to determine whether the fees and costs to
be awarded to Apple and Nokia in connection with the recently-concluded protective order proceedings against Samsung should be reduced, because a full award would be unjust in these circumstances. Despite several meet and confer efforts, Apple persists in refusing to provide the
requested information. RELIEF REQUESTED Samsung respectfully requests that the Court order Apple to provide Rule 30(b)(6) deposition testimony and a sworn declaration regarding the following subjects: 1. Apples system for protecting CBI in compliance with the protective order, including the names and titles of the persons involved in the October 2013 inadvertent disclosure and what each of them did as part of Apples multi-level review process for the particular filing at issue, and whether that system allowed competitors CBI to be distributed within Apple and/or publicly in October 2013 and thereafter; 2. Whether Apple undertook an investigation of possible earlier disclosures of CBI (such as
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK -iiSAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL APPLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
the October 2013 disclosure) after it learned of its November 2013 disclosures, and whether Apples knowledge of those November 2013 disclosures caused Apple to modify its system to avoid such disclosures in the future; 3. The investigation Apple performed in February 2014, after it claims to have learned of the October 2013 disclosure, including (a) whether Apple or other persons not authorized by the protective order received, disseminated or used the CBI, (b) whether Samsung was promptly informed of this and other disclosures, (c) whether Apple took prompt remedial action and complied with all provisions of the protective order, and (d) what searches Apple had done and what Apple knew before it informed the Court and Samsung that it had no information that the [improperly redacted October 2013] document was distributed on the Internet or otherwise used; and 4. Nokias and NECs responses to Apples revelation that certain terms of their licenses with Apple were publicly filed in October 2013 and remained on the public docket for four months (including copies of such correspondence). SAMSUNGS CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. P. 37(a)(1) Samsung hereby certifies that it has in good faith conferred with Apple in an effort to obtain the discovery described above without Court action, and that Samsung has been in continuous correspondence with Apple on this issue since the revelation of Apples October 10, 2013 public disclosure of the terms of its licenses with Nokia and NEC on February 11, 2014. Samsungs efforts to resolve this discovery dispute without court intervention are described in the Declaration of Robert J. Becher, submitted herewith.

Zeller Attorneys for SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD., SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. and SAMSUNG TELECOMMUNICATIONS AMERICA, LLC
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK -ivSAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL APPLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Preliminary Statement Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively, Samsung) hereby bring this motion for an order to compel Apple Inc. to provide information and transparency regarding its system for protecting confidential business information (CBI) in compliance with the protective order. particular, Samsung seeks information, including a 30(b)(6) deposition and a sworn declaration, concerning the circumstances surrounding Apples October 2013 public filing of CBI regarding certain terms of the Apple-Nokia license. Apples public filing occurred during the time when In
Apple was seeking sanctions for protective order violations against Samsung concerning this very same information, and was followed by at least two other instances the very next month where Apple again publicly filed CBIthis time belonging to its competitors, including Samsung and Google. Apples repeated disclosures of CBI warrants some investigation. Indeed, given Apples
aggressive campaign to seek sanctions against Samsung for its inadvertent disclosures, including extensive demands for discovery, Apple has no colorable basis for refusing Samsungs reasonable inquiries. The need for transparency and evenhandedness concerning Apples own inadvertent Until Apple provides this information, Samsung is unable to determine
disclosures is plain.
whether further remedial action by Samsung, including document production and potentially sanctions, is necessary. Samsungs motion for a deposition and a declaration should be granted. Factual Background Apples Public Filing of the Apple-Nokia and Apple-NEC Licenses. On February 11, 2014, Apple revealed for the first time that it had publicly filed on October 10, 2013 detailed financial terms of Apples licenses with Nokia and NEC on PACER and that this filing had remained publicly accessible for at least four months. Dkt. 2965-12. Nokias counsel was
served back in October 2013 with this public filing that contained its claimed CBI, but Nokia neither objected nor complained. Dkt. 772-774 (Nokias notices of appearance). This public
filing by Apple was made in the midst of proceedings in which Apple and Nokia were demanding sanctions (including preclusion sanctions) against Samsung for inadvertently failing to redact
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK -1SAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL Case APPLE No. TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
public disclosure of the Apple-Nokia license terms, Apple still tried to represent to the Court that this disclosure had not been spread beyond PACER. Becher Decl., Ex. 1. In reality, however,
not only had Apples public filing been available on web sites linked to PACER, but it remained available for download on LexisNexis Courtlink until Samsung notified Apple of that fact. 2964-5, 2-3. Beginning on February 13, 2014, Samsung requested additional information regarding the details of Apples public filing of the Apple-Nokia and Apple-NEC licensing information, including the circumstances surrounding the Filing and Apples discovery that the Filing contained information Apple considers confidential, what procedures were in place to prevent the filing of confidential information at the time of the Filing, and what Apple has done to investigate whether the Filing was accessed or distributed. Dkt. 2965-16. Samsung also asked for Dkt.
information regarding when Apple notified Nokia and NEC about the Filing and how both companies have responded to Apples notice. Id. Apple responded with little information,
claiming that it had discovered its mistake in the process of reviewing Apples filings in connection with sealing issues related to third parties. Dkt. 2965-17. Apple also claimed that
counsel for Apple immediately engaged in an investigation to determine whether the document in question, or the information contained within, had become available on the Internet or otherwise used, and that, as of February 13, 2014, it had no information that the document was distributed on the Internet or otherwise used. Id. at 2. On February 14, Samsung reiterated its request for information, and asked if there was a multi-level review process, involving multiple individuals for this particular filing and, if so, the names and titles of the persons involved and what each of them did as part of the multi-level review process. Dkt. 2965-18. Samsung also informed Apple that its statement regarding public distribution of the document was inaccurate, as the document reflecting the claimed confidential terms of the Apple-Nokia license (as well as the NEC license) is readily available for download on LexisNexis CourtLink. Id. Samsung requested that Apple explain what

investigation Apple performed before it informed the Court and Samsung that it had no information the document was distributed on the Internet or otherwise used. Id.
On February 15, 2014, Apple acknowledged that, contrary to its earlier representations, the document remained publicly available on LexisNexis CourtLink and stated that it was attempting to remove it. Dkt. 2965-19. On February 18, 2014, Apple stated that LexisNexis had removed
the document from the CourtLink database, but provided none of the other requested information. Dkt. 1280-4 (Case 12-630), Ex. 1; Dkt. 2965-19. On February 19, 2014, Samsung again requested answers to the questions in its February 14 letter. 3. Id., Ex. 2. Apple did not respond. Samsung asked again on February 22. Id., Ex.
Samsung also requested to meet and confer regarding a motion to compel Apple to provide Id. Apple refused to provide the requested information and ignored Id., Ex. 4 (Apples February 23 letter declining to
provide information because we are under no obligation to do so.) On February 24, Samsung again requested a meet and confer, this time on Tuesday, February 25. Ex. 6. Becher Dec., Ex. 5. Apple refused to meet and confer until February 26. Id.,

occurrence. 2835-8.
Apple has publicly field its competitors CBI on at least two other occasions.
In particular, Apple publicly filed Samsung and Google CBI in Case No. 12-630 on
November 5, 2013, and publicly filed Samsung, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Novell CBI in Case No. 11-1846 on November 19, 2013. Id. One of those instances was discovered by Quinn
Emanuel, and Apple admitted to it only after being specifically questioned about the disclosure two weeks later. Id. 7-8.
Apples and Nokias Attempts to Conceal the October 10 Disclosure from the Public. Both Apple and Nokia sought to seal all references to the October 10 disclosure in an effort to hide Apples errors from the public. Dkt. 2977-3; Dkt. 1280-3 (12-630). Samsung opposed these sealing requests. Dkt. 2993-3;
to the fees and costs briefing (Dkt. 2997), the Court rejected Apples argument that the
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK -3SAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL Case APPLE No. TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
information should be sealed because the public could locate the docket entry of the October 10 filing. Dkt. 1280-4 (12-630), Ex. 1. The Court further rejected Nokias position that all filings
related to the October 10 disclosure should be sealed indefinitely because individuals already in possession of the downloaded document would be alerted to the licensing terms in the document they legitimately downloaded from PACER or another service before February 10, 2013. 2985-3, 5; Dkt. 1315-3 (12-630), 7 (same).

not be hidden from public view after Apple had injected the adequacy of Samsungs own system and subsequent remedial measures into the public domain. Nokias Failure to Respond to Samsungs Request for its Communications with Apple. While meeting and conferring with Apple regarding the present motion on February 26, Apple raised the question of whether Nokia would consent to the description or production of communications between Apple and Nokia concerning Apples October 10 public filing. The
same day, Samsung immediately requested Nokias consent and production of the information. Becher Decl., Ex. 9. As of this filing, Nokia has not responded to Samsungs request.
Nokias Demand For Additional Discovery from Samsung Even After the Court Issued its January 29 Order. Despite refusing to provide information to Samsung, Nokia has continued to pursue discovery from Samsung regarding Nokias protective order allegations even after this Court resolved these issues in its January 29 Order. On February 25, Nokia filed a
motion to compel Samsung to produce information about where Nokias CBI resides, including a log prepared by Stroz Friedberg. Dkt. 2988 at 1. Rather than acknowledging the finality of
the Courts January 29 Order, Nokia claims that this Courts Order is merely a by-product of the parties efforts to discover the extent of the disclosures, and cannot substitute for the actual documents and information that show where and to whom Nokias CBI was improperly distributed, how it was distributed, and where it remains in Samsungs possession. (emphasis added). Id. at 3
documents, findings of fact, selection of sanctions, and order of remediation, Nokia demands yet more information and documents to understand the scope of the improper disclosures. Samsung will be opposing Nokias motion to compel in due course.

Despite seeking additional discovery from Samsung, Nokia has not sought discovery from Apple, or sought sanctions, for Apples public dissemination of the same license information in October 2013.

courtesy, Samsung informed Apple and Nokia of its intentions to determine whether they had any other objections to public filing that had not been rejected by the Court. Apple stated that it had
no objections but that Samsung should wait until at least Monday to determine whether NEC had objections to public filing. Nokia likewise sought to delay. Samsung then explained that it
intended to promptly comply with the Courts order after 5 p.m. on March 1, allowing NEC and Nokia additional time to make any objections they might have. Becher Decl., Ex. 10. After
Nokia and NEC failed to respond or provide any basis for sealing that was not rejected by the Court, and did not state any intention to seek further relief, Samsung complied with the Courts sealing order on March 2. Dkts. 3000-3003; Dkt. 1363 (Case 12-630). As of the date of filing
the present amended motion, Apple and Nokia still have not complied with the Courts February 27 unsealing order, persisting in their rejected effort to hide their conduct related to the AppleNokia license from public view. Argument The Court should compel Apple to provide information regarding its system for protecting CBI in compliance with the protective order, including the circumstances surrounding Apples public filing of CBI in October 2013 (and its failure to promptly discover its mistake despite two similar mistakes in publicly filing its competitors CBI that were brought to Apples attention the very next month), Apples alleged investigation four months later, and Apples correspondence with Nokia and NEC regarding the public disclosure.

I.
INFORMATION REGARDING APPLES SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING CBI AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROTECTIVE ORDER IS RELEVANT. The Court previously ordered Quinn Emanuel to pay fees and costs as sanctions for
violations of the protective order based on deficiencies in Samsungs system for protecting CBI and taking prompt and adequate remedial action. Dkt. 2935. Specifically, the Courts January
29 Order found that Samsung and its outside counsel made a conscious decision to set up a system that would allow the inadvertent disclosure to occur, without required follow up and immediate corrective action. 2935 at 13, 16-17. The same questions should now be asked of
Apples system, given the recent revelation that Apple has failed to take the necessary steps to protect CBI not once, not twice, but three times in the past five monthsincluding its public filing of the very same Apple-Nokia license terms that were the subject of Apples sanctions motion against Samsung. Samsung has requested that Apple provide it with information concerning its Just
system for protecting CBI, and the circumstances surrounding the October 2013 disclosure. as the Court recognized in granting Apple discovery into the circumstances of Samsungs
inadvertent disclosures, this information is relevant to whether Apples own systems in place for protecting CBI are adequate, and whether further remedial action by Samsung, such as a request for a document production and potentially sanctions, is necessary. Additionally, the information Samsung seeks is independently relevant to determining whether the fees and costs to be awarded to Apple and Nokia in connection with the sanctions proceedings against Samsung should be reduced because a full award of fees would be unjust. Rule 37 gives the Court discretion to reduce awards where circumstances make an award of expenses unjust. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2)(C). Among the considerations that might warrant
the reduction of fees is that the prevailing party on the motion also acted unjustifiably. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37, Notes of Advisory Committee on Rules1970 Amendment, Subdivision (a)(4). The
information Samsung requests will shed light on whether Apple has also acted unjustifiably in disclosing its own and others CBI, such that a full fee award in connection with Apples related accusations against Samsung would be unjust and should be reduced. The Court should consider
Apples pending fee requests in light of Apples own disclosure of the very Apple-Nokia license
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK -6SAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL Case APPLE No. TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
terms that spawned months of costly discovery and briefing for which Apple and Nokia now seek to recover their fees and costs, and in light of Apples now-discredited representations to the Court that certain terms of the Apple-Nokia license had never been publicly disclosed.1 Despite its sweeping demands for discovery regarding Samsungs inadvertent disclosures, and the relevance of the information Samsung seeks, Apple has refused to provide this information voluntarily. It should be ordered to disclose all relevant information concerning its system for
protecting CBI and complying with the protective order, including the names and titles of the persons involved in the October 2013 inadvertent disclosure and what each of them did as part of Apples multi-level review process for the particular filing at issue, and whether that system allowed competitors CBI to be distributed within Apple and/or publicly in October 2013 and thereafter. II. INFORMATION REGARDING APPLES REMEDIATION MEASURES AFTER THE NOVEMBER DISCLOSURES IS RELEVANT. Samsung also seeks information and transparency regarding whether Apple undertook an investigation of possible earlier disclosures of CBI after it had actual knowledge of its November 5 and 19, 2013 disclosures. Such an investigation might have led to a more timely discovery of
Apples October 2013 disclosure of the terms of the Apple/Nokia and Apple/NEC licenses. Whether and to what extent Apple undertook such an investigation in November 2013 is relevant to the sufficiency of Apples system for protecting CBI. Similarly, Samsung also is entitled to know whether Apples knowledge of the November 2013 disclosures caused Apple to modify its system to avoid such disclosures in the future. In
awarding sanctions, this Court determined that Quinn Emanuels response to prior disclosures of CBI were inadequate, and the same inquiry must now be made of Apple.
As Samsung explained at the February 27, 2014 hearing, it is not challenging the Courts finding that a fee award is appropriate. Rather, Samsung believes that the amount of fees and costs awarded should be reduced in light of Apples conduct.

III.
INFORMATION REGARDING APPLES FEBRUARY 2014 INVESTIGATION OF ITS OWN IMPROPER DISCLOSURE OF THE APPLE/NOKIA LICENSE TERMS TO THE PUBLIC IS RELEVANT. Apple apparently did not catch its error regarding its October 2013 public filing of the
Apple-Nokia license terms until approximately four months later, in February 2014.
It then
conducted some sort of an investigation, but is refusing to share the details and outcome of that investigation with Samsung, such as (a) whether Apple or other persons not authorized by the protective order received, disseminated or used the CBI, (b) whether Samsung was promptly informed of this and other disclosures, (c) whether Apple took prompt remedial action and complied with all provisions of the protective order, and (d) what searches Apple had done and what Apple knew before it informed the Court and Samsung that it had no information that the [improperly redacted October 2013] document was distributed on the Internet or otherwise used. Information regarding Apples investigation is relevant to many issues, including whether Apple has violated the protective order and whether Apple should be ordered to conduct further remedial efforts. and the Court. This information is also necessary to test Apples representations to Samsung Those representations should be viewed skeptically in light of Nokias
acknowledgment in its sealing declarations that the Apple-Nokia license information may already have been publicly disseminated, Dkt. 2985-3, 5, and Apples own acknowledgment that PACER download history is not readily available, Dkt. 2835-8, Ex. 7. Finally, the confidentiality of this licensing information at the time Apple and Nokia were pursing sanctions against Samsung is relevant to whether the fee award should be reduced. Apples and Nokias scorched-earth approach to Samsungs inadvertent disclosure, and the amount of the concomitant fees Apple and Nokia incurred in pursuing those efforts, must be juxtaposed against the fact that Apple had simultaneously posted (and Nokia neglected to notice) this information on the Internet for all the world to see. accordingly. The fee award should be reduced

IV.
INFORMATION REGARDING NOKIAS RESPONSE TO APPLES IMPROPER DISCLOSURE OF THE APPLE/NOKIA LICENSE TERMS TO THE PUBLIC IS RELEVANT. Nokias response to Apples October 10 disclosure is particularly relevant to the amount of
the pending award of fees and costs because it will show whether Nokia intends to pursue Apple for its disclosures. If Nokia has given no indication that it intends to do so, this suggests that
Nokia has not been seeking legitimate protection of its purported confidential information in connection with its litigation of the protective order issue against Samsung. Nokias
communications with Apple are also relevant to Apple and Nokias positions as to the confidentiality of the information involved, and the extent to which Apples filing was publicly disseminated beyond PACER, as Nokias sealing declarations indicate did, or may have, occurred. Dkt. 2985-3, 5; Dkt. 2973-2, 5 (claiming that members of the public may now be in possession of the improperly redacted Apple filing which contained the Apple/Nokia license terms). Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, Samsung requests that Apple be ordered to provide Rule 30(b)(6) deposition testimony and a sworn declaration with substantive and detailed information concerning the following subjects: 1. Apples system for protecting CBI in compliance with the protective order,
including the names and titles of the persons involved in the October 2013 inadvertent disclosure and what each of them did as part of Apples multi-level review process for the particular filing at issue, and whether that system allowed competitors CBI to be distributed within Apple and/or publicly in October 2013 and thereafter; 2. Whether Apple undertook an investigation of possible earlier disclosures of CBI
(such as the October 2013 disclosure) after it learned of its November 2013 disclosures, and whether Apples knowledge of those November 2013 disclosures caused Apple to modify its system to avoid such disclosures in the future; 3. The investigation Apple performed in February 2014, after it claims to have learned
of the October 2013 disclosure, including (a) whether Apple or other persons not authorized by the protective order received, disseminated or used the CBI, (b) whether Samsung was promptly
Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK -9SAMSUNGS AMENDED MOTION TO COMPEL Case APPLE No. TO PROVIDE INFORMATION REGARDING ITS PUBLIC DISCLOSURES OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
informed of this and other disclosures, (c) whether Apple took prompt remedial action and complied with all provisions of the protective order, and (d) what searches Apple had done and what Apple knew before it informed the Court and Samsung that it had no information that the [improperly redacted October 2013] document was distributed on the Internet or otherwise used; and 4. Nokias and NECs responses to Apples revelation that certain terms of their
licenses with Apple were publicly filed in October 2013 and remained on the public docket for four months (including copies of such correspondence).

Dear Rob: As we explained before, we were evaluating third party issues in our Daubert briefings. We were doing so in connection with the parties mutual agreement to provide the Court with consolidated, conformed copies of their Daubert briefing to aid the Courts evaluation of the motions to seal the same. Regarding your information about LexisNexis, upon receipt of your letter, we immediately contacted LexisNexis in order to determine how to have the document in question removed and begin that process. Regardless, our earlier statement remains true - LexisNexis is a subscription-based service that one must pay to access. It is not the publicly-available Internet. Moreover, when we filed our Letters with the Court last week, we were not aware of the presence of the document in question on LexisNexiss CourtLink service. Sincerely,

Dear Robert: I write in response to your letters dated February 19 and 22, 2014. Your letters provide no basis for your requests, or explanation of how the additional information you seek is relevant to any issue before the Court. Nonetheless, we provide you with the following responses: 1. We confirm that Apples counsel engaged in a multi-level review process, involving multiple individuals, in connection with the Daubert filing in which the inadvertently unredacted document was filed. On October 10, 2013, Apple filed approximately 20 electronic files comprising more than 30 individual documents. The one page that was not filed in redacted form fell in the middle of a 76-page document. We decline to provide you names and titles of those involved in the multi-level review, as we are under no obligation to do so. 2. Before informing the Court and Samsung on February 11, 2014 that we had no information that the document was distributed on the Internet or otherwise used, we conducted extensive searching of the public Internet. We located no copy of the document. We have since conducted further searching of the public Internet, and still have located no copy of the document. 3. We decline to provide you with our communications with Nokia and NEC regarding the filing of the inadvertently unredacted document, as we are under no obligation to do so. We understand that Nokia and NEC will both be filing declarations on Monday supporting Apples motion to remove the improperly-redacted document from the docket.
