ORAL ORDER: Having reviewed the parties' letters regarding their Protective Order dispute (D.I. 48; D.I. 54; D.I. 55), and having heard arguments on October 4, 2022, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: (1) Plaintiff's request to use the word "modules" in Paragraph 12(a)(v) is DENIED. The Court agrees with Defendant that the word "modules" is ambiguous and "it does not answer the underlying question of what source code should be made available to a witness." D.I. 55 at 2. Defendant's proposed word "files" eliminates ambiguity of what source code the Producing Party will make available at the deposition.; (2) Plaintiff's request to include the language "[t]he Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the manner and logistics of making such source code available" in Paragraph 12(a)(v) is DENIED. The Protective Order already states that the Producing Party will provide the source code files "in computer-searchable electronic format," and thus, "the manner and logistics of making such source code available" is already addressed in the Protective Order. The Court sees no reason to include Plaintiffs proposed language.; (3) Defendant's proposed language that "the Producing Party will make available to the witness all Source Code" shall be added to Paragraph 12(a)(v) of the Protective Order because the parties appeared to have already agreed to this language. D.I. 55-1 at 2 ("We'd be willing to limit the production of Source Code to the witness and not to the Receiving Party as your edits suggest.").; and (4) the parties shall meet and confer regarding the definition of "modules" when preparing their respective discovery requests.

ORAL ORDER: Having reviewed the letter request for a discovery teleconference (D.I. 112) and the associated letter briefing and exhibits (D.I. 115; D.I. 117; D.I. 119), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff International Business Machines Corporation's ("IBM") request that the Court order Defendants Zynga Inc. and Chartboost, Inc. (collectively, "Zynga") to designate a witness to testify regarding Topics 11, 13, and 15-23 (the "Topics") listed in IBM's Second Rule 30(b)(6) Notice for Deposition served on May 24, 2023 (see D.I. 115-1, Ex. 1) is GRANTED-IN-PART and DENIED-IN-PART. First, the Court must determine whether the Topics seek discovery on discovery. Other than Topic 18, the Topics request "the identity, type, location, and organization" of various documents. IBM argues that it "is not seeking testimony regarding how Zynga is collecting documents but rather is seeking testimony focused on the substance of the casespecifically the identity, type, and location of relevant documents." D.I. 115 at 3 (citation omitted). However, IBM has failed to "articulate any reason why this information [i.e., the identity, type, location, and organization of documents] bears any relevance to the substantive merits of this case." D.I. 117 at 1. Even after giving IBM the benefit of the doubt, the Court finds that Topics 11, 13, 15-17, and 19-23 seek discovery on discovery, although IBM does not identify it as such. These Topics seek inquiries into Zynga's collection, preservation, and retention efforts of certain documents as well as the existence and location of such documents. "[C]ourts are generally reluctant to order discovery on discovery, so a party seeking such relief must make a threshold showing that significant, relevant, and non-cumulative information has been withheld or overlooked.'" ECB USA, Inc. et al v. Savencia, S.A., C.A. No. 19-731-GBW-CJB, D.I. 306 (D. Del. Jan. 18, 2023) (quoting British Telecomms. PLC v. IAC/Interactivecorp, C.A. No. 18-366-WCB, 2020 WL 1043974, at *7 (D. Del. Mar. 4, 2020)). IBM has failed to make such a threshold showing here. In fact, Zynga has represented to the Court that it has agreed to produce (and has already started to produce) the categories of documents referenced in these Topics. D.I. 117 at 1. "'Speculation that there is more will not suffice; if the theoretical possibility that more documents exist sufficed to justify additional discovery, discovery would never end. Instead of chasing the theoretical possibility that additional documents exist, courts have insisted that the documents that have been produced permit a reasonable deduction that other documents may exist or did exist and have been destroyed.'" Brit. Telecommunications, 2020 WL 1043974, at *7 (quoting Hubbard v. Potter, 247 F.R.D. 27, 29 (D.D.C. 2008)). Here, IBM has failed to articulate with specificity withheld or overlooked documents referenced in Topics 11, 13, 15-17, and 19-23 other than pure speculation. Therefore, the Court denies IBM's request to order Zynga to designate a witness to testify regarding Topics 11, 13, 15-17, and 19-23. With respect to Topic 18, this Topic seeks "[t]he identity of persons and teams responsible for Zynga's optimization techniques described in Topic No. 17." D.I. 115-1, Ex. 1 at 3. The Court finds that Topic 18 does not seek improper discovery on discovery and, thus, IBM is entitled to the information the discovery request seeks. Zynga asserts that the information sought from Topic 18 is "more appropriately obtained through an interrogatory." D.I. 117 at 1 n.2. The Court hereby orders the parties to meet and confer and attempt to reach agreement on whether the appropriate means to obtain the information sought in Topic 18 is through an interrogatory or Rule 30(b)(6) deposition. If the parties are unable to reach agreement that the information sought from Topic 18 can be requested by IBM and sufficiently provided by Zynga in response to an interrogatory, then Zynga shall designate and produce a Rule 30(b)(6) witness to testify on Topic 18 in a timely manner. Ordered by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 8/14/2023. (etg) (Entered: 08/14/2023)

ORAL ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' respective letter briefs regarding the discovery dispute, D.I. 147 and D.I. 150. Defendant's request to require Plaintiff to supplement its initial infringement contentions is GRANTED-IN-PART and DENIED-IN-PART. The Court finds that IBM has not identified with sufficient clarity client view-generating-logic being a subset of server view-generating-logic and, therefore, IBM must supplement its infringement contentions with that information. The Court also finds that IBM has not identified with sufficient clarity server VGL for 5 of the 8 alleged games and, therefore, must supplement its infringement contentions with that information. Thus, the Court grants Zynga's request as it pertains those issues. The Court finds that IBM has identified with sufficient clarity a server model. The Court also finds that IBM has identified with sufficient clarity data collection and ad delivery personalization, at least at this stage, and has sufficiently identified its pre-fetching theory. Thus, the Court denies Zynga's request as it pertains to those issues. ORDERED by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 10/2/23. (ntl) (Entered: 10/02/2023)

ORAL ORDER: IBM's interrogatory No. 19 requests that Zynga "identify any and all Identification Services implemented in the product from May 2016 to present," including "the dates each Identity Service was or is implemented." Zynga has provided the current identification services used by the accused games as of March 2023, as well as code snapshots from its versions of the games in 2016. However, it has not provided any information concerning when Zynga started using the current identification services for each game, nor if any intermediate versions were used. Zynga argues it would be unduly burdensome to require it to conduct a source code review of hundreds of versions of the code for each game. When "the answer to an interrogatory may be determined by examining... a party's business records" and "the burden of deriving or ascertaining the answer will be substantially the same for either party," FRCP 33(d) permits an answer to an interrogatory to be given by "specifying the records that must be reviewed, in sufficient detail to enable the interrogating party to locate and identify them as readily as the responding party could" and "giving the interrogating party a reasonable opportunity to examine and audit the records." In this case, it would be "no more burdensome for [IBM] than [Zynga] to review the files. If the requested information exists in the files, [IBM] should find that information themselves." TexasLDPC Inc. v. Broadcom Inc., No. CV 18-1966-SB, 2022 WL 19406563, at *4 (D. Del. Aug. 4, 2022) (denying a request for a party to review source code "line by line to determine the requested information."). However, to undertake this analysis, IBM must have access to intermediate code snapshots throughout the infringement period. It is relevant and proportional to the needs of the case for IBM to have some way of verifying whether the same verification service is used across the accused infringement period. Zynga's proposed solution (providing snapshots of the beginning and end of the accused infringement period, and, after receiving infringement theories for each, producing any versions that differ) would leave IBM at the mercy of a moving target and potentially unable to meet its burden of proving infringement across the accused infringement period. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Zynga shall do one of the following within ten (10) days of this Order: (1) supplement its response to Interrogatory No. 19 to provide the date each Zynga accused game began using its current identification service, and the name and dates each Zynga accused game used any other identification services since May 2016; (2) provide a sufficient number of intermediate code snapshots for each accused game throughout the infringement period such that IBM has the ability to assess all the identification services used by each accused game throughout the infringement period; or (3) enter a stipulation with IBM that the current identification service used by each accused game is representative of all identification services used by the accused game throughout the infringement period, the relevant code is substantially the same as the March 2023 code and/or the May 2016 code across the accused infringement period, or some other acceptable stipulation to which both parties agree. ORDERED by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 11/27/23. (ntl) (Entered: 11/27/2023)

ORAL ORDER: The Court, having reviewed the parties' letters on case narrowing (D.I. 250, D.I. 252), hereby ORDERS as follows: (1) The Court will impose limits on the number of obviousness references, not the number of obviousness theories, at this time. While the Court sympathizes with Plaintiff's position that a limit solely on references, with no limit on theories, hypothetically allows Defendant to propose millions of theories, the parties agreed to limit the number of "references," understood "references" to be different from "theories," and filed a scheduling order with the Court to that effect. See D.I. 214; D.I. 252, Ex. 5 at 1-2. The Court reminds both parties to conduct themselves reasonably and recognizes that, if parties do not appropriately narrow the case, there may give good cause for an amended scheduling order with further case narrowing in the future. Moreover, the Court reminds the parties that this will be a timed trial. (2) For this round of case narrowing, Plaintiff shall be limited to eight claims per patent, as the parties have agreed. Defendant shall be limited to eight obviousness references against the '719 patent and sixteen references for the '849 patent. Additional narrowing will be necessary later, but the Court finds that these limits are reasonable and proportionate at this stage. ORDERED by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 1/18/24.

ORAL ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' letters on Zynga's Motion to Strike IBM's Opening Expert Report (D.I. 263, D.I. 268, D.I. 270). As explained in more detail below, the motion to strike is DENIED. Zynga moves to strike portions of IBM's opening expert report that accuse Words With Friends 1 ("WWF1") and New Words With Friends ("NWWF") of infringing U.S. Patent No. 7,072,849. Zynga argues that IBM did not adequately disclose its infringement theory as to these games, but only accused a different game: Words With Friends 2 ("WWF2"). IBM did not specifically identify WWF1 and NWWF as "Accused Products" in the cover pleadings of its infringement contentions, and did not provide specific claim-by-claim infringement contentions for those games. However, IBM did identify WWF1 and NWWF, by name, as "Accused Products" in its claim charts. While the Court is not totally convinced by IBM's argument that WWF1 and NWWF were encompassed by "prior versions" in the cover pleadings to the claim charts and has some concerns about the completeness and clarity of IBM's disclosure, given the specific factual circumstances of this case, the Court finds that IBM's disclosure of its infringement theories for WWF1 and NWWF was adequate. First, WWF1 and NWWF were specifically identified as "Accused Products," on multiple occasions. See D.I. 263, Ex. 6 at 5, 7; Ex. 8 at 12, 15. Second, IBM provided enough extensive source code, screenshots, and technical documents from WWF1 and NWWF to, at least, put Zynga on notice that they those products may be among those accused. See D.I. 268, Ex. A at 22, 610-18, 690-93, 750-51, 790-802, 954, 979. Third, Zynga's witnesses were prepared to discuss all Words With Friends Games, and Zynga produced documents from WWF1 and NWWF during discovery, similar to what it did for other accused games. See D.I. 268, Ex. C (Lemer Dep. Tr.) at 11:1-4 ("Do you understand that you're here to testify with respect to Topic 2 for Zynga's Words with Friends games? [A] I do."). While Zynga argues it was just being overprepared, its disclosures and witness preparation indicate a lack of surprise that NWWF and WWF2 were at issue in the case. Fourth, given that IBM's disclosed theory is that WWF1 and NWWF infringe in the same way as WWF2 and IBM provided adequate disclosures and detailed claim-by-claim contentions for WWF2, the fact that IBM failed to provide detailed claim-by-claim contentions for NWWF and WWF1 is not fatal. Zynga's own witnesses confirm an understanding of this theory. See Ex. C (Lemer Dep. Tr.) at 152:22-153:15; Ex. E (Ballard Dep. Tr.) at 56:21-57:3. Thus, while there are some deficiencies with IBM's disclosures with respect to WWF1 and NWWF, the Court does not find those deficiencies to be incurable under the circumstances of this case. Moreover, even if the Court were to find that IBM's disclosure was inadequate, the Pennypack factors weigh strongly against exclusion. Importantly, Zynga does not face significant prejudice or surprise from the inclusion of WWF1 and NWWF given that its experts were already prepared to discuss those games, and its experts have stated there are not material differences between WWF1/NWWF and WWF2. Also, any alleged prejudice can be cured without disruption to the current trial schedule. There are more than six months remaining before trial and, if Zynga believes that it needs some additional discovery about WWF1 and NWWF, there is sufficient time to cure by the parties reaching agreement to the scope and schedule for the supplemental discovery concerning WWF1 and NWWF and/or Zynga seeking leave from the Court for such discovery. Further, there is no evidence of bad faith conduct or willfulness by IBM. Rather, IBM's contentions specifically identified the games on numerous occasions, and the references were not so hidden as to constitute bad faith. Lastly, the evidence appears to be important. Removing WWF1 and NWWF from the trial could potentially remove approximately one third of the potential damages from the case. Given the circumstances of this case, the Court will not strike IBM's opening expert and, thus, denies Zygna's motion. The Court HEREBY ORDERS IBM and Zynga, by no later than March 15, 2024, to meet and confer to discuss and attempt to reach agreement on the scope and schedule of any supplemental discovery that Zygna needs on WWF1 and NWWF and jointly report back to the Court in writing with respect to any agreements reached and/or remaining disputes for the Court to resolve on the scope of any supplemental discovery and/or deadline to complete it.

ORAL ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint letter regarding the timing and scope of supplemental discovery (D.I. 286). Zynga seeks the following: (1) supplemental discovery into IBM's basis for its view that Words With Friends 1 ("WWF1"), New Words With Friends ("NWWF"), and Words With Friends 2 ("WWF2") infringe each of the Asserted Claims in the same manner by serving an interrogatory on IBM attached to the joint letter as "Exhibit B"; (2) additional time to investigate the differences between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2; (3) additional time to supplement its written discovery responses and document production to include WWF1 and NWWF; (4) additional time for the parties to exchange short supplemental expert reports addressing the new games, WWF1 and NWWF, as well as the Federal Circuit's decision in Chewy v. IBM; and (5) an increase in the number of trial days scheduled from five to eight. In response, IBM contends that (1) there is no need to change the current Scheduling Order; (2) any supplemental discovery necessary can proceed in tandem with other case deadlines; (3) extending the case schedule by putting the case on hold while Zygna completes supplemental discovery relating to WWF1 and NWWF will unnecessarily delay the trial; (4) Zynga's proposal includes a substantial amount of unnecessary discovery; (5) the only supplemental discovery that Zynga could possibly need is time to investigate the differences between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2 for purposes of infringement and the submission of a supplemental expert report detailing any differences found; (6) any difficulties that Zynga has completing the supplemental discovery are of its own making since Zynga has been aware that WWF1 and NWWF may be among the accused for some time and should have begun investigating the issues long ago; and (7) there is no justification for Zygna's request to increase the allocated number of trial days from five to eight. Having considered the parties' respective arguments, the Court GRANTS Zynga's request to conduct some supplemental discovery into IBM's basis for its view that WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2 infringe each of the Asserted Claims in the same manner by requiring IBM to respond in writing, by no later March 28, 2024, to Zynga's interrogatory attached to the joint letter as "Exhibit B." The Court agrees with IBM that the case can proceed under the current case schedule and need not be paused while Zynga conducts the supplemental discovery investigating the differences, if any, between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2. The Court will reconsider extending the current case schedule and moving the trial date if IBM does not cooperate in a reasonable and timely manner with Zyna's request for supplemental discovery during Zygna's investigation into the differences between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2 or the Court otherwise finds that an extension of the current case schedule and/or moving the trial date is warranted. Also, in the event that Zynga's investigation does reveal additional differences between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2, Zynga may seek leave to amend or supplement its pertinent discovery responses and/or dispositive motion briefing as necessary on or before ten (10) days after receiving notice of such differences. Both parties should update their discovery responses promptly with respect to damages. Both parties agree that supplemental expert reports addressing WWF1 and NWWF and the impact of the Chewy decision on each expert's opinions are necessary. Thus, the Court will allow both sides to submit such supplemental expert reports covering such matters. At this time, the Court will not increase the allocated number of trial days from five to eight. In the event that substantial differences between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2 are discovered that make a five-day trial impracticable, the Court may reconsider the request before trial. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall meet and confer and submit a joint proposed revised scheduling order setting forth the agreed upon schedule for the submission of the parties' respective supplemental expert reports and incorporating the other rulings and requirements of this Order, for the Court's review and approval, by March 21, 2024.

ORAL ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' letters regarding the trial schedule (D.I. 445, 449, 450). Zynga's request to alter the trial schedule is DENIED. First, Zynga again requests an increase in trial days from five (5) to eight (8). The Court has previously denied this request, but stated that "[i]n the event that substantial differences between WWF1, NWWF, and WWF2 are discovered that make a five-day trial impracticable, the Court may reconsider the request before trial." D.I. 287. Zynga has not identified any such differences, and the Court does not believe that it is impracticable to try a case with two (2) patents and ten (10) claims in a five (5) day trial, given the overlap between the claims. To the extent there are differences in infringement theories across games, IBM has the burden of proving infringement and the parties will be impacted equally. Moreover, the Court's resolution of dispositive motions may narrow the case, as Zynga itself recognizes. D.I. 445 at 2. Zynga further requests to move the trial date to April 2025. Zynga argues that this request is warranted to increase time between the Court's dispositive motion rulings and trial, to permit the filing of a new O2 Micro issue, and to permit supplementation based on newly produced evidence and a trial scheduled to proceed in June. Courts routinely resolve dispositive motions and O2 Micro issues in the weeks leading up to trial; thus, Zynga's arguments on these factors do not constitute good cause to delay the trial date. Also, Zynga has not identified why supplementation of expert reports from a trial in June 2024 would require pushing a trial in September 2024 to April 2025. With regards to the new evidence, Zynga had the opportunity to review the evidence during discovery, but opted not to, relying on a representation that the data was fragmented. Rakuten (a defendant in another case) recovered that data, and IBM produced it to Zynga. Zynga has not identified any material new information that it has uncovered or any specific opinions that it intends to supplement. In fact, Zynga admits that the scope of required supplementation "is currently unknown", and it has not shown that any of the data is relevant or requires the supplementation of expert reports. D.I. 445 at 3 n. 3. Therefore, the Court will not move the trial based on some hypothetical supplementing of expert discovery, particularly when there is still approximately four months remaining before trial for the parties to complete any necessary supplementing of expert discovery, if any is ultimately warranted. ORDERED by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 5/20/2024. (lnb) (Entered: 05/20/2024)

ORAL ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' letters regarding Zynga's Motion for Resolution of Claim Construction Disputes (D.I. 455) ("the O2 Micro motion"). D.I. 458, D.I. 460. First, with respect to IBM's claim that Zynga violated the Court's Scheduling Order by not counting the pages of its Rule 12(c) Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings within the page limits for dispositive motions in accordance with paragraph 14 of the Court's Scheduling Order, the Court disagrees with IBM and, thus, denies IBM's requested relief that the Court order Zynga to refile all pending dispositive motions. The Court's case dispositive motion procedure applies to "dispositive motion[s] under Rule 56" and Daubert motions. D.I. 89 para. 14. In this action, the Rule 12(c) motion on § 101 was filed seven (7) months before the summary judgment motions and will not delay trial. See Ecolab Inc. et al v. DuBois Chemicals, Inc., C.A. No. 21-567-RGA, D.I. 265 (D. Del. Oct. 25, 2023) (rejecting a 12(c) motion filed contemporaneously with summary judgment briefing). Second, Zynga concedes that at least a portion of the O2 Micro motion is "substantively identical" to its second summary judgment motion. The Court will not permit additional briefing on issues already briefed, particularly when the briefing deadline has past. However, the Court will resolve the claim construction dispute(s) identified in the supplemental briefing to be submitted by the parties as described below. Third, the Court finds that the O2 Micro motion is not a dispositive motion subject to its Scheduling Order, since it does not seek affirmative relief. Indeed, "[w]hen the parties raise an actual dispute regarding the proper scope of... claims, the court, not the jury, must resolve that dispute." O2 Micro, 521 F.3d, 1351, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2008). Here, the parties have disputes about the scope of claims; thus, O2 Micro requires the Court to resolve those disputes. Nonetheless, the Court has the power to set its own briefing schedule and page limits, and this Court typically resolves supplemental claim disputes under O2 Micro on more limited briefing. Allowing fifty (50) pages of briefing every time a O2 Micro claim construction dispute arises would inundate the Court and incentivize parties to reserve such disputes until after the Court's initial claim construction hearing. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the O2 Micro motion (D.I. 455) is STRICKEN. Zynga shall, by no later than July 5, 2024, file a letter brief, not to exceed six (6) pages, identifying any claim terms it contends require construction by the Court under O2 Micro, set forth its proposed constructions of those terms, and set forth its arguments and authority in support of its proposed claim constructions. IBM shall, by no later than July 12, 2024, file a responsive letter brief, not to exceed six (6) pages, containing IBM's proposed constructions of the claim terms identified by Zynga in its opening letter, and set forth IBM's arguments and authority in support of its proposed constructions of the claim terms in dispute. ORDERED by Judge Gregory B. Williams on 6/28/24. (ntl) (Entered: 06/28/2024)
