January 30, 2013	Filing 578 MINUTE entry before Honorable James F. Holderman: In light of recent court orders in Case No. 08 C 3379, Case No. 09 C 4530, and Case No. 12 C 3229, the parties are once again encouraged to discuss settlement. Status hearing set for 2/19/13 at 9:00 a.m., at which time counsel should be prepared to report on the progress of any settlement discussions and the need, if any, to schedule trial dates for the remaining patent at issue in Case No. 08 C 3379 (the '772 Patent).

January 29, 2013	Filing 579 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held. Discovery ended quite some time ago and no motion was made by either party prior to the close of discovery raising any issue of discovery noncompliance by the other side. Consequently, even if the parties had some specific discovery controversy, which they do not,any motion at this time would be untimely and would be denied. In re Sulfuric Acid Antitrust Litigation, 231 F.R.D. 331, 333 (N.D.Ill. 2005). Finally, this case is not settleable. Hence, all matters relating to the referral of this case having been resolved, the referral is closed and the case is returned to Chief Judge Holderman.Mailed notice (jms, )

For the reasons set forth in the accompanying MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER DENYING PARTIES' RESPECTIVE REQUESTS FOR JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW AND DENYING FUJITSU LIMITED'S REQUEST FOR A NEW TRIAL REGARDING FUJITSU LIMITED'S '681 PATENT, "Fujitsu's Renewed Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law that Tellabs Infringes Claims 6, 7, and 8 of U.S. Patent No. 7,228,681, Notwithstanding the Jury Verdict of Non-Infringement; or, Alternatively Motion for a New Trial" (Case No. 09 C 4530, Dkt. No. 962 ) and "Tellabs, Inc.'s, Tellabs Operations, Inc.'s, and Tellabs North America, Inc.'s Renewed Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law that U.S. Patent No. 7,227,681 Is Invalid" (Case No. 08 C 3379, Dkt. No. #566 ) are both denied in their entirety. Tellabs' original "Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law that U.S. Patent No. 7,227,681 Is Invalid" (Case No. 08 C 3379, Dkt. No. #557 ) and Tellabs' "Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law Based on Fujitsu Limited's Failure to Prove Infringement of Claims 6-8" (Case No. 08 C 3379, Dkt.

November 8, 2012	Filing 574 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Telephonic discovery conference with counsel for the parties regarding the turnover of nine documents pursuant to my orders and Chief Judge Holderman's affirmance of my decision in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd., _F.Supp.2d_, 2012 WL 3731497 (N.D.Ill. 2012). It was Fujitsu's position that nine documents identified on the privilege log were irrelevant and the request was made that I review the documents in camera. Tellabs took the position that the documents were clearly relevant and contended that prior relevancy objections had been shown to be untrue once the documents had been turned over. In addition to the relevancy objection, there was at least some allusion to some attorney/client privilege claim, although that was unclear. The dominant, if not exclusive objection, was relevancy. I declined the invitation to review the documents in camera given the history of the case, Fujitsu's shifting positions on the question of the turn over of the 2006 inspection reports -- cf. Campbell v. Clarke, 481 F.3d 967, 969 (7th Cir.2007)(litigants who play fast and loose with a court's orders "cannot expect favorable treatment on matters of discretion.") -- and most importantly, the existence of an attorneys' eyes only protective order in this case. If, in fact, the information sought to be withheld is so demonstratively irrelevant, Tellabs' lawyers will have no use for it. There is ample material of significance in this case that there is no need and no motivation to resort to documents that, according to Fujitsu, manifestly are unrelated to the case. The oral motion of Fujitsu for an in camera inspection is denied.Mailed notice (tlp, )
November 2, 2012	Filing 573 REPLY by Counter Defendants Tellabs North America, Inc., Tellabs Operation, Inc., Tellabs, Inc. to motion for judgment, #566 In Support of its Renewed Motion for Judgment As A Matter of Law that Claims 6, 7, and 8 of U.S. Patent No. 7,227,681 are Invalid (Bradley, James)
November 1, 2012	Filing 572 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Telephonic status conference held with the parties on 10/31/12 and again on 11/1/12. In yesterday's conference call, counsel for Tellabs indicated the possibility of Tellabs filing a motion for attorneys' fees in connection with its attempts to obtain discovery of the documents relating to the 2006 inspection -- a matter that has been the subject of two lengthy opinions. The inquiry that was made by Tellabs was whether the matter should be filed before me or Judge Holderman. I expressed the view that even though in this circuit at least, Magistrate Judges do not have the authority to impose monetary sanctions under Rule 37 or Rule 11 -- and they have no inherent powers under the decisions of all the Circuits -- and can only issue a report and recommendation to be reviewed de novo by the district court in such situations, see Jeffrey Cole, Federal Civil Practice, Chap. 10 Practicing Before United States Magistrate Judges (2012 Supp., 10.16)(Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education)(collecting cases), it seemed to me that Judge Holderman's referral was broad enough to encompass the question of fees that might be sought by Tellabs. Having fully considered the matter I have concluded that while Tellabs of course has the right to file any motion it deems proper, it will not be allowed to do so at this time as a matter of judicial efficiency and in order to properly conserve the parties' time and resources which should be devoted at this juncture exclusively to either resolving the case or preparing for trial. Finally, it seems to me that the issues relating to the shifting of attorneys' fees in connection with Tellabs' efforts to obtain disclosure of the results of Fujitsu's 2006 inspection of the Tellabs' optical scanner ought perhaps to be separated into two component parts: the first being the efforts that culminated in this court's opinion in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd,, 2012 WL 1520333 (N.D.Ill. 2012), the second relating to the post-opinion period that resulted in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd, _F.Supp.2d_, 2012 WL 3731497 (N.D.Ill. 2012). The issues relating to whether Fujitsu's position was substantially justified in the earlier period may be different than those which are plainly involved in the events coming after the first opinion. In any event, there will be time after the decision on the merits of the case to deal with this issue. Nothing in this order or in the informal phone calls of yesterday and today should be construed as indicating my having made any determination about the merits of Tellabs' position or Fujitsu's opposition. Those are obviously matters that can be determined only after full adversary briefing.Mailed notice (jms, )

August 21, 2012	Filing 536 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: In 2006, Fujitsu conducted an extensive inspection of a Tellabs optical scanner purchased on eBay along with confidential manuals that accompanied the scanner. Almost from the beginning, the content and results of that inspection have been the source of a heated and continuing dispute, with Tellabs contending that it was entitled to the documents prepared in connection with that inspection by Fujitsu's engineers and Fujitsu adamantly resisting production. The somewhat complicated but singularly important background of the dispute is told in the extensive Memorandum Opinion and Order of 5/1/12. 647 . See Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd., 2012 WL 1520333 (N.D.Ill. 2012). In brief, the Opinion concluded that the 2006 inspection was done for competitive and economic reasons and that Fujitsu was simply responding to its loss to Tellabs of an extraordinarily lucrative bid by Verizon. Fujitsu made a conscious decision not to file objections to that opinion and order with Chief Judge Holderman. Thereafter, it contended, notwithstanding the Memorandum Opinion and Order that the 2006 inspection was protected by the attorney/client privilege. What the parties did not dispute, however, was that if Dr. Willner, Fujitsu's expert, saw or considered either the 2006 inspection or the 2008 invalidity infringement contentions of Tellabs, then the 2006 inspections would have to be produced. Indeed, Mr. Brooks, one of the counsel for Tellabs, repeatedly made that representation. Mr. Brooks also represented on various occasions that Dr. Willner, in fact, had not seen the 2008 invalidity contentions. See Tellabs's Brief Regarding Dr. Willner's Consideration of Fujitsu's July 2008 Infringement Contentions. [852, Attachment A]. Recently, it was learned that Dr. Willner, in fact, had in his possession the 2008 infringement contentions and his expert report of April 16, 2012, explicitly stated in varying places that he had "reviewed and considered the very things this court was assured he would never see, let alone consider. I sua sponte ordered an evidentiary hearing in response to the filing of Tellabs's recent brief. 852 . At the hearing, Dr. Willner testified, as did Gino Cheng, the managing associate for the Orrick form in California, who helped prepare Dr. Willner's expert report. In brief, Dr. Willner and Mr. Cheng, while acknowledging that the Willner report stated unequivocally that Dr. Willner had indeed reviewed and considered the prohibited materials, claimed that Dr. Willner had not reviewed or considered the materials and that Dr. Willner's statement of what he had considered and reviewed was "mistaken As explained more fully in the Memorandum Opinion and Order that I shall be entering in the next few days, that testimony was implausible, but more importantly, was contradicted by the undisputed evidence in the case. In short, I reject the claim of mistake and the claim that Dr. Willner did not review and consider the very information his expert report avows he did. Dr. Willner and Mr. Cheng may well be certain that their recollection of events is accurate. But as Justice Holmes said, "certitude is not the test of certainty." More recently, Judge Easterbrook put it this way: Memory often plays tricks.... People may remember what they want to remember, whether it happened or not, and the lack of correlation between the strength and accuracy of ones recollection is one of the most important findings of the psychology of memory. Jarad v. Gonzales, 461 F.3d 867, 871 (7th Cir. 2006). Given the pendency of the trial before Judge Holderman, I thought it important to at least set forth my conclusion in advance of the Memorandum Opinion and Order so that the parties and Judge Holderman could assess whether there will be any impact on the upcoming trial. The bottom line is that Tellabs is entitled to all of the documents generated in connection with the 2006 inspection of Tellabs's three modules. This holding moots Fujitsu's claim of attorney/client privilege regarding the 2006 inspection -- as Mr. Brooks effectively realized would occur if this information ere somehow considered by Dr. Willner.

August 10, 2012	Filing 533 TRIAL Brief by Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit List of Evidence Cited in Willner Expert Report Secs II - VII)(Van Dyke, David)
August 8, 2012	Filing 532 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Telephone conference held with counsel regarding the pending motion for production of documents related to the 2006 inspection by Fujitsu of Tellabs' optical scanner. It is Tellabs' position that Dr. Willner, Fujitsu's expert in fact relied upon preliminary invalidity contentions which, in turn, implicated or were, in part, based on the 2006 inspections, contrary to the repeated assurances that those inspections would play absolutely no role in Dr. Willner's assessment of the issues on which he will be testifying in this case. If, in fact, those representations have been breached, whether intentionally or not, the consequences are obvious. Fujitsu adamantly denies that Dr. Willner relied on those invalidity contentions even though his expert report said he did. It was, Fujitsu insists, a mistake. Perhaps it was -- Fujitsu has claimed other mistakes that have been discussed in earlier Opinions of the court. At this point, of course, no determination can be made without an evidentiary hearing at which Dr. Wilner and the lawyers who were involved in the preparation of the expert report can testify. Generally, and most assuredly in the context of the present controversy, there is no substitute for live testimony.

July 27, 2012	Filing 524 WRITTEN Opinion entered by the Honorable James F. Holderman on 7/27/2012: Tellabs, Inc.'s, Tellabs Operations, Inc.'s and Tellabs North America, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 7,227,681 #444 is denied in light of disputed questions of material fact regarding the date when the invention disclosed by the '681 Patent was reduced to practice. Signed by the Honorable James F. Holderman on 7/27/2012: Mailed notice (am)
July 19, 2012	Filing 523 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:7:00 am Magistrate Judge Status hearing held regarding information considered by Fujitsu's expert. It is Tellabs' contention that Fujitsu's expert considered certain preliminary invalidity contentions raised in the infringement action in Texas and that those contentions were at least in part based upon the 2006 inspection/examination conducted by Fujitsu and that is discussed at some length in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsju Ltd., _F.R.D._, 2012 WL 1520333 (N.D.Ill. 2012). It is Fujitsu's position that the disclosure of the information considered in Dr. Wellner's report is mistaken. Mistakes are inherent in the human condition. All judges make them, as Judge Posner has acknowledged, Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co.., Ltd. v. Kapoor, 115 F.3d 1332 (1997); cf. Rodriguez v. Chandler, 492 F.3d 863 (7th Cir.2007) (Easterbrook, J.) (Our original opinions' failure to keep these subjects distinct may have influenced the parties' briefing choices on appeal.), and as the Supreme Court has unhesitatingly acknowledged. See Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337, 346347 (1970). And so we shall have to wait to see whether, in fact, there has been a mistake in Dr. Wellner's report or not. Fujitsu has made claims of mistake before. See Tellabs, 2012 WL 1520333, n.11. Fujitsu regards the matter as serious and indeed it is especially in light of the earlier representations made to the court by Fujitsu that none of the reports or results of the 2006 inspection of Tellabs' optical scanners would be even shown to or discussed with Fujitsu's experts. I gave leave to Tellabs to promptly take the deposition of Dr. Wellner and of those lawyers and non-lawyer personnel involved in any way in providing information to Dr. Wellner and in assembling the expert report and the materials provided to Dr. Wellner. Any future status dates are canceled and the parties will call the court immediately upon the conclusion of the inquiry that was the subject of this morning's hearing.Mailed notice (jms, )
July 16, 2012	Filing 522 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held and continued to 7/23/2012 at 09:30 AM. Oral argument regarding the pending motion regarding the 2006 engineering report prepared by Fujitsu is set for 7/23/2012 at 9:30 am. Fujitsu's motion regarding the depositions of Mr. Segora and Dr. Shikama is granted over the objections of Tellabs. The depositions shall proceed with the costs to be paid by Fujitsu on the two dates specified by Mr. Van Dyke as being the only dates the two witnesses were available. Tellabs' oral motion to postpone the deposition of the two deponents discussed in court today until the eve of the upcoming trial before Judge Holderman is denied. Tellabs' oral motion re: waiver of any attorney/client or work-product privilege regarding the 2006 engineering report,Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd., _F.R.D._. 2012 WL 1520333, 1 (N.D.Ill. 2012), is entered and continued to consider the statement in Fujitsu's expert report of Alan Wilner, which Tellabs believes contradicts repeated representations made to the court that the 2006 engineering report and its results would never be showed to or shared in any way with Fujitsu's expert. There shall be a further status regarding this issue on 7/19/2012 at 7:00 am. Representations by lawyers that certain things will and will not occur are matters of significance and have consequences. See In re Sulfuric Acid Antitrust Litigation, 231 F.R.D. 351, 361 (N.D.Ill.2005)(discussing significance of attorney's promise to entertain certain discovery requests); In re Sulfuric Acid Antitrust Litigation, 231 F.R.D. 331, 341 (N.D.Ill.2005)(representation that there would be prompt compliance with discovery if motion to dismiss were denied was an enforceable promise).Mailed notice (jms, )

June 25, 2012	Filing 517 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held and continued to 7/16/2012 at 09:15 AM. Tellab's motion to compel 644 has been improperly filed in its totality under seal. The cases are consistent in demanding that litigation be conducted in public to the maximum extent, consistent with respecting trade secrets and other facts that should be held in confidence. See, e.g., Baxter International, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544 (7th Cir.2002); Grove Fresh Distributors, Inc. v. Everfresh Juice Co., 24 F.3d 893 (7th Cir.1994). This means that both judicial opinions and litigants' briefs must be in the public record, if necessary in parallel versions-one full version containing all details, and another redacted version with confidential information omitted. Hicklin Engineering, L.C. v. Bartell, 439 F.3d 346, 348 (7th Cir.2006). As things now stand, the motion to compel is not part of the public record even though in the main, it is simply nothing more than a routine brief with legal arguments supported by case law. The public has an interest in knowing what the judicial system is doing, an interest frustrated when any part of litigation is conducted in secret. Doe v. Smith, 429 F.3d 706, 710 (7th Cir.2005). Openness in judicial proceedings assures the public that procedural rights are respected, and that justice is afforded equally. Closed proceedings breed suspicion of prejudice and arbitrariness, which in turn spawns disrespect for law. Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia, 448 U.S. 555, 595 (1980).Tellab shall re-file the motion in redacted form with only the confidential portions redacted. It shall provide the court with an unredacted version pointing out those portions that on the public record have been redacted. See United Auto. Ins. Co. v. Veluchamy, 2010 WL 889980, 2 -3 (N.D.Ill. 2010). Fujitsu's unopposed oral motion to extend expert discovery to 7/31/2012 is granted. Status hearing dates of 7/6/2012 and 7/9/2012 are reset to 7/16/2012 at 9:15 am. The parties are directed to call chambers at 312-435-5601 if any issues arise during depositions.Mailed notice (jms, )

It is Tellabs' position, however, that the attorney/client privilege issue has been waived by virtue of the manner of presentation of the issues in the briefs that led to the May 1st Memorandum Opinion and Order. That question will be addressed pursuant to the following briefing schedule: Tellab's motion and supporting memoranda shall be filed by 5/31/2012. Fujitsu's' response is to be filed by 6/21/2012. Tellab's reply is to be filed by 7/5/2012. The joint oral motion to extend expert discovery to 6/29/2012 is granted. Status hearing is set for 7/9/2012 at 10:00 am.

May 10, 2012	Filing 507 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held and continued to 6/22/2012 at 10:00 am. Fujitsu advises the court that they will not be filing objections to this court's Memorandum Opinion and Order of 5/1/2012. Those documents to which Tellabs will not be claiming attorney/client privilege will be submitted to Tellabs by 5/17/2012 with production to the court will be made by 5/18/2012. It is Fujitsu's position, however, that most of the documents generated in connection with the 2006 examination of Tellabs scanners are protected by the attorney/client privilege and need not be turned over pursuant to the 5/1/12 Opinion. Counsel for Tellabs and for Fujitsu have agreed that resolution of that issue will be determined following further adversarial briefing and that not filing objections to the May 1 Memorandum Opinion shall not be deemed a waiver of any objections on the attorney/client privilege issue that will be resolved by separate opinion at some point in the future.It is Tellabs' position, however, that the attorney/client privilege issue has been waived by virtue of the manner of presentation of the issues in the briefs that led to the May 1st Memorandum Opinion and Order. That question will be addressed pursuant to the following briefing schedule: Fujitsu's motion and supporting memoranda shall be filed by 5/31/2012. Tellabs' Response is to be filed by 6/21/2012. Fujitsu's reply is to be filed by 7/5/2012. Any objections to the Memorandum Opinion resolving the issue raised in these briefs will be subject to the 14 day rule in Rule 72 and will begin to run from the date of the receipt of the Memorandum Opinion. Tellabs' oral agreed motion to extend expert discovery to 6/29/2012 is granted. Status hearing is set for 7/9/2012 at 7:30 am.

April 3, 2012	Filing 482 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Status conference held and motion hearing held. There is presently pending before Judge Holderman a motion to strike. It is Fujitsu's position that until that motion is resolved certain 30(b)(6) depositions Tellabs seeks to take regarding the use and acquisition of confidential documents identified in the 16th notice of Rule 30(b)(6) depositions should not proceed and it has asked for entry of an order staying the depositions. It is Tellabs' position that regardless of the outcome of the motion, the evidence being sought will nonetheless be relevant in the case. Of course, if the motion is granted by Judge Holderman, making the evidence irrelevant for one purpose, it does not follow that the evidence will be inadmissible for other purposes. See Geldon v. South Milwaukee School District, 414 F.3d 817 (7th Cir. 2005). After hearing oral argument, Fujitsu's oral motion to stay discovery on the issue until Judge Holderman rules, is denied. As the first step, Fujitsu must provide immediately the names of all those in the United States who have knowledge of the matters in the disputed 30(b)(6) notices. And, it must undertake to ascertain who in Japan has such knowledge. The dates for the various rebuttal reports of the experts are extended as discussed with the parties, who will provide an order setting forth the actual dates. The dates for taking depositions is extended to 4/20/12. The status date of 4/17/12 at 9:30 a.m. shall stand. Mailed notice (ntf, )

June 21, 2011	Filing 414 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Status hearing held. Status hearing remains set for 6/30/2011 at 9:30 a.m. to discuss the possible privilege issues involving the reverse engineering undertaken by Fujitsu. The parties shall continue their discussions regarding the issues raised in court today, including the pending requests to admit and interrogatories regarding the "entire market value" rule. Tellabs has objected to what it claims is the inadequacy of Fujitsu's response to Interrogatory #4, which seeks information regarding Fujitsu's claim that the measure of damages is the entire market value of certain products sold. Fujitsu has supplemented its answer to that interrogatory and has provided documents in further response apparently pursuant to Rule 33(d), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fujitsu, however, claims that it need go no further and that the interrogatory is premature and that all the information sought will eventually be disclosed during expert discovery. That, it says, is time enough since the trial will not be until January 17, 2012. While under certain circumstances, damage theories ought to await the close of discovery, in most instances, damage contention interrogatories are perfectly proper during discovery. See discussion in U.S. ex rel. Tyson v. Amerigroup Illinois, Inc., 230 F.R.D. 538, 544 (N.D.Ill. 2005). Of course, the responding party may be required to supplement its responses pursuant to Rule 26(e), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. But even the likelihood of supplementation is not an automatic bar to discovery that is otherwise appropriate. Finally, the parties are reminded that resort to Rule 33(d) is only appropriate where "the burden of deriving or ascertaining the answer is substantially the same for the party serving the interrogatory as for the party served....."

June 1, 2011	Filing 412 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Status hearing held and continued to June 30, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. Today, I conducted an extensive discussion with counsel regarding a discovery issue that they have not been able to resolve, but which each side considers significant. It appears that Fujitsu has conducted some sort of reverse engineering on Tellabs' equipment that it purchased on eBay. Tellabs has sought discovery relating to the results of those endeavors. Fujitsu has resisted, claiming attorney/client privilege and work-product protection even for the results and observations of those endeavors. The reverse engineering was apparently undertaken by engineers who are employed by Fujitsu and by an outside Ph.D. The protections afforded by Rule 26(b)(4)(B), now 26(b)(4)(D), were not raised in the written objections filed by Fujitsu, although they were discussed at today's hearing. It was Tellabs' position that Fujitsu has injected the issue of reverse engineering into the case and thereby had waived any protection that otherwise even arguably, might have covered the results of the reverse engineering. Fujitsu disagreed, contending that it had not done so, but conceding that it if had put at issue the reverse engineering, the waiver doctrine would be properly invoked. This is the familiar waiver by implication doctrine. See e.g., Willy v. Administrative Review Bd., 423 F.3d 483, 497 (5th Cir. 2005); Flowers v. Owens, _F.R.D._, 2011 WL 1547142, 5 (N.D.Ill. 2011); United Auto Insurance Co. v. Veluchamy, 747 F.Supp.2d 1021, 1029 (N.D.Ill. 2010) At an earlier hearing when these issues were discussed, I inquired why the results of the reverse engineering should be deemed protected, since, under Hickman v. Taylor, facts are not within the work-product protection, and the attorney/client privilege as consistently enunciated for more than a century protects confidential "communications" from a client to its lawyer seeking legal advice. At my request, the parties provided me informally with cases that they believe supported their respective positions. Tellabs ultimately took the position that it wanted until June 30th to decide whether it would be relying on the reverse engineering results at trial. If it chose not to do so, then, it contended, discovery would be on a matter that was not relevant. Fujitsu disputed that contention. Viewed solely from the vantage point of Fujitsu's affirmative case, the argument had at least arguable merit. Nothing would prohibit Fujitsu from withdrawing from consideration a component of its proof or an issue that would thereby render discovery on that issue irrelevant. See the discussion in Kronenberg v. Baker & McKenzie LLP, 747 F.Supp.2d 983 (N.D.Ill. 2010). However, Fujitsu raised the possibility that it might not use the reverse engineering that had already been completed, but it might use a new outside expert to conduct further reverse engineering tests for use at trial. Of course, it is free to do so. But that may then leave in play the issue that might otherwise be mooted if the reverse engineering issue plays no role in Fujitsu's case, and if Tellabs cannot make a case for independent relevance in connection with any claim or defense it has. None of these are questions that need be answered now or that indeed are appropriate to even suggest the answer to. June 30th will be here soon enough. If, however, that day comes and there has not been a definitive answer with regard to Fujitsu's plans, Tellabs will be free to file whatever formal motion it deems appropriate. Of course, Fujitsu will have ample time to respond. Finally, I declined to review in camera an affidavit appeared by Mr. Wong, one of Fujitsu's counsel that purported to justify the claim of attorney/client privilege advanced in the objections to certain of Tellabs' discovery requests since I expressed concern about utilizing attorney/client protected statements which I was told were contained in Mr. Wong's affidavit in order to make the case for the attorney/client privilege covering whatever Tellabs engineers and outside Ph.D did in connection with their reverse engineering undertakings.

June 30, 2010	Filing 319 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Motion hearing held. Tellabs North America, Inc., Tellabs, Inc., and Tellabs Operation, Inc. Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses #310 is moot in light of the court's ruling on the motion in case 09C4530. Tellabs Operation, Inc. and Tellabs, Inc. Motion for Order to Remove Docket Entry No. 310 #316 is granted. Mailed notice (ea, )
June 29, 2010	Filing 318 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:On 6/22/10, in response to Tellabs' Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses, I entered a very specific minute order which, in part, reminded the parties of their obligations under Local Rule 37.2 and stated that compliance with the Rule would be required. It also called the parties' attention to my earlier order of 7/21/09, which previously had called the parties attention to the need for compliance with that Rule. It was unnecessary to have done so since all parties in all cases are required to comply with all Local Rules. The order of 6/22/10 also informed the parties that discovery motions would have to comply with the requirements set forth in Autotech Techonologies, Ltd. v. AutomationDirect.com, 2007 WL 2736681 (N.D.Ill. 2007). The order of 6/22/10 concluded by saying that if there was not "full compliance" within seven days with Local Rule 37.2, the order of 7/21/09, and the requirements of the 6/22/10 order, the then-pending Motion to Compel would be denied. Nonetheless, Tellabs has filed a Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses in this and in case 09 C 04530, which does not comply with Rule 37.2 or the requirements of Autotech. There is simply an opening paragraph which says: "[a]s required by Local Rule 37.2, the parties consulted by telephone, email, and letter correspondence" in an attempt to resolve their differences. Attached to the motions are a series of letters and emails. But as the plain language of Rule 37.2 provides - as pointed out in the order of 6/22/10 -- letters and emails do not count. Moreover, there is not the certificate of compliance required by Autotech. Merely attaching lengthy and complicated letters requires the judge to play archaeologist with the record, contrary to the Seventh Circuit's repeated admonition that "[d]istrict judges are not archaeologists. They need not excavate masses of papers in search of revealing tidbits-not only because the rules of procedure place the burden on the litigants, but also because their time is scarce. Other parties, who live by the rules, have a priority claim on the judge's attention. Lawyers and litigants who decide that they will play by rules of their own invention will find that the game cannot be won." Northwestern Nat. Ins. Co. v. Baltes, 15 F.3d 660, 662 -663 (7th Cir.1994). Accord, DeSilva v. DiLeonardi, 181 F.3d 865, 867 (7th Cir.1999); Jacobs v. Velasco, 41 Fed.Appx. 882, 883, 2002 W.L. 1732577, 1 (7th Cir.2002). Nor are judges "like pigs, hunting for truffles buried in briefs." United States v. Dunkel, 927 F.2d 955, 956 (7th Cir.1991). Accord, Casna v. City of Loves Park, 574 F.3d 420, 424 (7th Cir. 2009); Petts v. Rockledge Furniture LLC., 534 F.3d 715, 722 (7th Cir.2008); Alexander v. City of South Bend, 433 F.3d 550, 552 (7th Cir. 2006); Contilli v. Local 705 Intern. Broth. of Teamsters Pension Fund, 559 F.3d 720, 724 (7th Cir.2009). This is the undeviating rule in other Circuits as well. See e.g., United States v. Hoffecker, 530 F.3d 137, 163 (3d Cir.2008);.Indep. Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003); U.S. v. Starnes, 583 F.3d 196, 216 (3d Cir.2009); Gordon v. Virtumundo, Inc., 575 F.3d 1040, 1066 (9th Cir. 2009); Walker v. Prince George's County, MD, 575 F.3d 426, 429 (4th Cir.2009). Any future motion by any party that does not strictly comply with the order of 6/22/10 will be denied with prejudice. Similarly, any counsel for any party who refuses to have the kind of comprehensive Rule 37.2 conference that the Rule mandates will be required to bear the fees and costs associated with the bringing of the motion.

June 22, 2010	Filing 312 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Tellabs Operations, Inc. filed today a Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses #310 . The Motion, which is 15 pages long, with exhibits A through O, was filed under seal in its entirety, even though it contains almost exclusively legal arguments, and the accompanying exhibits consist of interrogatory responses, district court opinions and the kind of exchange of correspondence between counsel that has led Judge Posner to lament that "discovery is the bane of modern litigation." Rossetto v. Pabst Brewing Co., Inc., 217 F.3d 539, 542 (7th Cir. 2000). For the reasons explained in United Auto Ins. Co. v. Veluchamy, 2010 WL 889980 (N.D.Ill. 2010), the filing of the motion under seal, without a parallel filing in the public record with only redactions of information that qualify for under seal treatment, is improper. The cases are consistent in demanding that litigation be conducted in public to the maximum extent, consistent with respecting trade secrets, the identities of undercover agents, and other facts that should be held in confidence. See, e.g., Baxter International, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544 (7th Cir.2002); Grove Fresh Distributors, Inc. v. Everfresh Juice Co.,24 F.3d 893 (7th Cir.1994). This means that both judicial opinions and litigants' briefs must be in the public record, if necessary in parallel versions-one full version containing all details, and another redacted version with confidential information omitted. Hicklin Engineering, L.C. v. Bartell, 439 F.3d 346, 348 (7th Cir.2006). The Motion is also improper in that it fails to comply with Local Rule 7.2. That Rule, which is also referred to on my website, provides that:"This court shall hereafter refuse to hear any and all motions for discovery and production of documents under Rules 26 through 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, unless the motion includes a statement (1) that after consultation in person or by telephone and good faith attempts to resolve differences they are unable to reach an accord, or (2) counsel's attempts to engage in such consultation were unsuccessful due to no fault of counsel's. Where the consultation occurred, this statement shall recite, in addition, the date, time and place of such conference, and the names of all parties participating therein. Where counsel was unsuccessful in engaging in such consultation, the statement shall recite the efforts made by counsel to engage in consultation."The purpose of the Rule is "[t]o curtail undue delay and expense in the administration of justice." The Rule ultimately rests on what Holmes called the shortness of life and the reality that there is a never ending procession of cases that compete for judicial attention. If the parties can resolve the issue, the court's time is saved and available to be directed to those cases that present issues that cannot be amicably resolved. Each hour needlessly spent on a dispute is an hour squandered. See Chicago Observer, Inc. v. City of Chicago, 929 F.2d 325, 329 (7th Cir.1991) ("Litigation is costly not only for the litigants but also for parties in other cases waiting in the queue for judicial attention."). This is a problem that the Seventh Circuit has repeatedly adverted to. See, e.g., Otto v. Variable Annuity Life Ins. Co.,134 F.3d 841, 854 (7th Cir.1998); Channell v. Citicorp Nat. Services, Inc., 89 F.3d 379, 386 (7th Cir.1996); Szabo Food Service, Inc. v. Canteen Corp., 823 F.2d 1073, 1077 (7th Cir.1987).The Motion, however, does not appear to contain the certification required by L.R. 37.2 or my Order of 7/21/09. It merely adverts to exchanges of letters and emails,which are attached as exhibits. Rule 37.2, however, is not satisfied by an exchange of letters. As its plain terms reflect, there must be consultation in person or by telephone. Finally, the Motion does not comply with my order of 7/21/09 #177 , which requires not only that the Certificate of Compliance comply strictly with Local Rule 37.2, but "in addition shall reflect the items discussed, on an item-by-item basis, stating what was discussed and the response from each party, regarding the particular item, including any concessions offered by a party and an explanation of why that concession was rejected. See Autotech Technologies Ltd. Partnership v. Automation Direct.com., 2007 W.L. 2736681 (N.D. Ill 2007)." The plaintiff shall have seven days to fully comply with Local Rule 37.2 and my order of 7/21/09 and to file "parallel versions" of the Motion to Compel as required by the Seventh Circuit. If there has not been full compliance by that date, the Motion will be denied. The parties need not appear on 6/28/10, the date set for presentment of the Motion to Compel. A status will be held on 6/30/10 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice (cdh, )

Status hearing is reset to August 18, at 9:30 a.m. at which time a date for oral arguments on Defendants Motion to Compel an Answer to Interrogatory #155 shall be set. In the event of future discovery disputes, strict compliance with Local Rule 37.2 will be required. The Certificate of Compliance shall comply precisely with the Rule and shall reflect the items discussed, on an item-by-item basis, stating what was discussed and the response from each party, regarding the particular item, including any concessions offered by a party and an explanation of why that concession was rejected. See Autotech Technologies Ltd. Partnership v. Automation Direct.com., 2007 W.L. 2736681 (N.D. Ill 2007). Further, all future discovery disputes will be considered against the backdrop of Judge Easterbrooks panel opinion in Rickles v City of South Bend, Indiana, 33 F.3d 785, 786 (7th Cir. 1994) (The great operative principle of Rule 37(a)(4) is that the loser pays. Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, 8 Federal Practice and Procedure 2288 at 787 (1970). Fee shifting, when the judge must rule on discovery disputes, encourages their voluntary resolution and curtails the ability of litigants to use the legal process to heap detriments on adversaries without regard to the merits of the claim.). Finally, the parties are reminded of Local Rule 5.2(d), which requires that courtesy copies of all filings must be delivered to chambers, and any attached exhibits must be separated by protruding tabs. Failure to provide Chambers with an appropriate courtesy copy may result in the motion, response or reply being stricken. Rule 5.2(e). Mailed notice (ef, )

Consequently, even if the parties had some specific discovery controversy, which they do not,any motion at this time would be untimely and would be denied. In re Sulfuric Acid Antitrust Litigation, 231 F.R.D. 331, 333 (N.D.Ill. 2005). Finally, this case is not settleable. Hence, all matters relating to the referral of this case having been resolved, the referral is closed and the case is returned to Chief Judge Holderman.Mailed notice (jms, )

Filing 574 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Telephonic discovery conference with counsel for the parties regarding the turnover of nine documents pursuant to my orders and Chief Judge Holderman's affirmance of my decision in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd., _F.Supp.2d_, 2012 WL 3731497 (N.D.Ill. 2012). It was Fujitsu's position that nine documents identified on the privilege log were irrelevant and the request was made that I review the documents in camera. Tellabs took the position that the documents were clearly relevant and contended that prior relevancy objections had been shown to be untrue once the documents had been turned over. In addition to the relevancy objection, there was at least some allusion to some attorney/client privilege claim, although that was unclear. The dominant, if not exclusive objection, was relevancy. I declined the invitation to review the documents in camera given the history of the case, Fujitsu's shifting positions on the question of the turn over of the 2006 inspection reports -- cf. Campbell v. Clarke, 481 F.3d 967, 969 (7th Cir.2007)(litigants who play fast and loose with a court's orders "cannot expect favorable treatment on matters of discretion.") -- and most importantly, the existence of an attorneys' eyes only protective order in this case. If, in fact, the information sought to be withheld is so demonstratively irrelevant, Tellabs' lawyers will have no use for it. There is ample material of significance in this case that there is no need and no motivation to resort to documents that, according to Fujitsu, manifestly are unrelated to the case. The oral motion of Fujitsu for an in camera inspection is denied.Mailed notice (tlp, )

November 1, 2012

Filing 572 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Telephonic status conference held with the parties on 10/31/12 and again on 11/1/12. In yesterday's conference call, counsel for Tellabs indicated the possibility of Tellabs filing a motion for attorneys' fees in connection with its attempts to obtain discovery of the documents relating to the 2006 inspection -- a matter that has been the subject of two lengthy opinions. The inquiry that was made by Tellabs was whether the matter should be filed before me or Judge Holderman. I expressed the view that even though in this circuit at least, Magistrate Judges do not have the authority to impose monetary sanctions under Rule 37 or Rule 11 -- and they have no inherent powers under the decisions of all the Circuits -- and can only issue a report and recommendation to be reviewed de novo by the district court in such situations, see Jeffrey Cole, Federal Civil Practice, Chap. 10 Practicing Before United States Magistrate Judges (2012 Supp., 10.16)(Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education)(collecting cases), it seemed to me that Judge Holderman's referral was broad enough to encompass the question of fees that might be sought by Tellabs. Having fully considered the matter I have concluded that while Tellabs of course has the right to file any motion it deems proper, it will not be allowed to do so at this time as a matter of judicial efficiency and in order to properly conserve the parties' time and resources which should be devoted at this juncture exclusively to either resolving the case or preparing for trial. Finally, it seems to me that the issues relating to the shifting of attorneys' fees in connection with Tellabs' efforts to obtain disclosure of the results of Fujitsu's 2006 inspection of the Tellabs' optical scanner ought perhaps to be separated into two component parts: the first being the efforts that culminated in this court's opinion in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd,, 2012 WL 1520333 (N.D.Ill. 2012), the second relating to the post-opinion period that resulted in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd, _F.Supp.2d_, 2012 WL 3731497 (N.D.Ill. 2012). The issues relating to whether Fujitsu's position was substantially justified in the earlier period may be different than those which are plainly involved in the events coming after the first opinion. In any event, there will be time after the decision on the merits of the case to deal with this issue. Nothing in this order or in the informal phone calls of yesterday and today should be construed as indicating my having made any determination about the merits of Tellabs' position or Fujitsu's opposition. Those are obviously matters that can be determined only after full adversary briefing.Mailed notice (jms, )

Almost from the beginning, the content and results of that inspection have been the source of a heated and continuing dispute, with Tellabs contending that it was entitled to the documents prepared in connection with that inspection by Fujitsu's engineers and Fujitsu adamantly resisting production. The somewhat complicated but singularly important background of the dispute is told in the extensive Memorandum Opinion and Order of 5/1/12. 647 . See Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd., 2012 WL 1520333 (N.D.Ill. 2012). In brief, the Opinion concluded that the 2006 inspection was done for competitive and economic reasons and that Fujitsu was simply responding to its loss to Tellabs of an extraordinarily lucrative bid by Verizon. Fujitsu made a conscious decision not to file objections to that opinion and order with Chief Judge Holderman. Thereafter, it contended, notwithstanding the Memorandum Opinion and Order that the 2006 inspection was protected by the attorney/client privilege. What the parties did not dispute, however, was that if Dr. Willner, Fujitsu's expert, saw or considered either the 2006 inspection or the 2008 invalidity infringement contentions of Tellabs, then the 2006 inspections would have to be produced. Indeed, Mr. Brooks, one of the counsel for Tellabs, repeatedly made that representation. Mr. Brooks also represented on various occasions that Dr. Willner, in fact, had not seen the 2008 invalidity contentions. See Tellabs's Brief Regarding Dr. Willner's Consideration of Fujitsu's July 2008 Infringement Contentions. [852, Attachment A]. Recently, it was learned that Dr. Willner, in fact, had in his possession the 2008 infringement contentions and his expert report of April 16, 2012, explicitly stated in varying places that he had "reviewed and considered the very things this court was assured he would never see, let alone consider. I sua sponte ordered an evidentiary hearing in response to the filing of Tellabs's recent brief. 852 . At the hearing, Dr. Willner testified, as did Gino Cheng, the managing associate for the Orrick form in California, who helped prepare Dr. Willner's expert report. In brief, Dr. Willner and Mr. Cheng, while acknowledging that the Willner report stated unequivocally that Dr. Willner had indeed reviewed and considered the prohibited materials, claimed that Dr. Willner had not reviewed or considered the materials and that Dr. Willner's statement of what he had considered and reviewed was "mistaken As explained more fully in the Memorandum Opinion and Order that I shall be entering in the next few days, that testimony was implausible, but more importantly, was contradicted by the undisputed evidence in the case. In short, I reject the claim of mistake and the claim that Dr. Willner did not review and consider the very information his expert report avows he did. Dr. Willner and Mr. Cheng may well be certain that their recollection of events is accurate. But as Justice Holmes said, "certitude is not the test of certainty." More recently, Judge Easterbrook put it this way: Memory often plays tricks.... People may remember what they want to remember, whether it happened or not, and the lack of correlation between the strength and accuracy of ones recollection is one of the most important findings of the psychology of memory. Jarad v. Gonzales, 461 F.3d 867, 871 (7th Cir. 2006). Given the pendency of the trial before Judge Holderman, I thought it important to at least set forth my conclusion in advance of the Memorandum Opinion and Order so that the parties and Judge Holderman could assess whether there will be any impact on the upcoming trial. The bottom line is that Tellabs is entitled to all of the documents generated in connection with the 2006 inspection of Tellabs's three modules. This holding moots Fujitsu's claim of attorney/client privilege regarding the 2006 inspection -- as Mr. Brooks effectively realized would occur if this information ere somehow considered by Dr. Willner.

August 8, 2012

Filing 532 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Telephone conference held with counsel regarding the pending motion for production of documents related to the 2006 inspection by Fujitsu of Tellabs' optical scanner. It is Tellabs' position that Dr. Willner, Fujitsu's expert in fact relied upon preliminary invalidity contentions which, in turn, implicated or were, in part, based on the 2006 inspections, contrary to the repeated assurances that those inspections would play absolutely no role in Dr. Willner's assessment of the issues on which he will be testifying in this case. If, in fact, those representations have been breached, whether intentionally or not, the consequences are obvious. Fujitsu adamantly denies that Dr. Willner relied on those invalidity contentions even though his expert report said he did. It was, Fujitsu insists, a mistake. Perhaps it was -- Fujitsu has claimed other mistakes that have been discussed in earlier Opinions of the court. At this point, of course, no determination can be made without an evidentiary hearing at which Dr. Wilner and the lawyers who were involved in the preparation of the expert report can testify. Generally, and most assuredly in the context of the present controversy, there is no substitute for live testimony. Accordingly, there will be an evidentiary hearing on August 17, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. The witnesses will be those discussed in the telephone conference. The parties are to submit immediately to chambers the materials they plan to use at the hearing, which shall include Dr. Wilner's entire report, the relevant portions of which each side may call to the court's attention by highlighting them and any portions of depositions the parties think relevant.

July 19, 2012

Filing 523 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:7:00 am Magistrate Judge Status hearing held regarding information considered by Fujitsu's expert. It is Tellabs' contention that Fujitsu's expert considered certain preliminary invalidity contentions raised in the infringement action in Texas and that those contentions were at least in part based upon the 2006 inspection/examination conducted by Fujitsu and that is discussed at some length in Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsju Ltd., _F.R.D._, 2012 WL 1520333 (N.D.Ill. 2012). It is Fujitsu's position that the disclosure of the information considered in Dr. Wellner's report is mistaken. Mistakes are inherent in the human condition. All judges make them, as Judge Posner has acknowledged, Fujisawa Pharmaceutical Co.., Ltd. v. Kapoor, 115 F.3d 1332 (1997); cf. Rodriguez v. Chandler, 492 F.3d 863 (7th Cir.2007) (Easterbrook, J.) (Our original opinions' failure to keep these subjects distinct may have influenced the parties' briefing choices on appeal.), and as the Supreme Court has unhesitatingly acknowledged. See Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337, 346347 (1970). And so we shall have to wait to see whether, in fact, there has been a mistake in Dr. Wellner's report or not. Fujitsu has made claims of mistake before. See Tellabs, 2012 WL 1520333, n.11. Fujitsu regards the matter as serious and indeed it is especially in light of the earlier representations made to the court by Fujitsu that none of the reports or results of the 2006 inspection of Tellabs' optical scanners would be even shown to or discussed with Fujitsu's experts. I gave leave to Tellabs to promptly take the deposition of Dr. Wellner and of those lawyers and non-lawyer personnel involved in any way in providing information to Dr. Wellner and in assembling the expert report and the materials provided to Dr. Wellner. Any future status dates are canceled and the parties will call the court immediately upon the conclusion of the inquiry that was the subject of this morning's hearing.Mailed notice (jms, )

Filing 522 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held and continued to 7/23/2012 at 09:30 AM. Oral argument regarding the pending motion regarding the 2006 engineering report prepared by Fujitsu is set for 7/23/2012 at 9:30 am. Fujitsu's motion regarding the depositions of Mr. Segora and Dr. Shikama is granted over the objections of Tellabs. The depositions shall proceed with the costs to be paid by Fujitsu on the two dates specified by Mr. Van Dyke as being the only dates the two witnesses were available. Tellabs' oral motion to postpone the deposition of the two deponents discussed in court today until the eve of the upcoming trial before Judge Holderman is denied. Tellabs' oral motion re: waiver of any attorney/client or work-product privilege regarding the 2006 engineering report,Tellabs Operations, Inc. v. Fujitsu Ltd., _F.R.D._. 2012 WL 1520333, 1 (N.D.Ill. 2012), is entered and continued to consider the statement in Fujitsu's expert report of Alan Wilner, which Tellabs believes contradicts repeated representations made to the court that the 2006 engineering report and its results would never be showed to or shared in any way with Fujitsu's expert. There shall be a further status regarding this issue on 7/19/2012 at 7:00 am. Representations by lawyers that certain things will and will not occur are matters of significance and have consequences. See In re Sulfuric Acid Antitrust Litigation, 231 F.R.D. 351, 361 (N.D.Ill.2005)(discussing significance of attorney's promise to entertain certain discovery requests); In re Sulfuric Acid Antitrust Litigation, 231 F.R.D. 331, 341 (N.D.Ill.2005)(representation that there would be prompt compliance with discovery if motion to dismiss were denied was an enforceable promise).Mailed notice (jms, )

June 25, 2012

Filing 517 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held and continued to 7/16/2012 at 09:15 AM. Tellab's motion to compel 644 has been improperly filed in its totality under seal. The cases are consistent in demanding that litigation be conducted in public to the maximum extent, consistent with respecting trade secrets and other facts that should be held in confidence. See, e.g., Baxter International, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544 (7th Cir.2002); Grove Fresh Distributors, Inc. v. Everfresh Juice Co., 24 F.3d 893 (7th Cir.1994). This means that both judicial opinions and litigants' briefs must be in the public record, if necessary in parallel versions-one full version containing all details, and another redacted version with confidential information omitted. Hicklin Engineering, L.C. v. Bartell, 439 F.3d 346, 348 (7th Cir.2006). As things now stand, the motion to compel is not part of the public record even though in the main, it is simply nothing more than a routine brief with legal arguments supported by case law. The public has an interest in knowing what the judicial system is doing, an interest frustrated when any part of litigation is conducted in secret. Doe v. Smith, 429 F.3d 706, 710 (7th Cir.2005). Openness in judicial proceedings assures the public that procedural rights are respected, and that justice is afforded equally. Closed proceedings breed suspicion of prejudice and arbitrariness, which in turn spawns disrespect for law. Richmond Newspapers, Inc. v. Virginia, 448 U.S. 555, 595 (1980).Tellab shall re-file the motion in redacted form with only the confidential portions redacted. It shall provide the court with an unredacted version pointing out those portions that on the public record have been redacted. See United Auto. Ins. Co. v. Veluchamy, 2010 WL 889980, 2 -3 (N.D.Ill. 2010). Fujitsu's unopposed oral motion to extend expert discovery to 7/31/2012 is granted.

Filing 507 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Magistrate Judge Status hearing held and continued to 6/22/2012 at 10:00 am. Fujitsu advises the court that they will not be filing objections to this court's Memorandum Opinion and Order of 5/1/2012. Those documents to which Tellabs will not be claiming attorney/client privilege will be submitted to Tellabs by 5/17/2012 with production to the court will be made by 5/18/2012. It is Fujitsu's position, however, that most of the documents generated in connection with the 2006 examination of Tellabs scanners are protected by the attorney/client privilege and need not be turned over pursuant to the 5/1/12 Opinion. Counsel for Tellabs and for Fujitsu have agreed that resolution of that issue will be determined following further adversarial briefing and that not filing objections to the May 1 Memorandum Opinion shall not be deemed a waiver of any objections on the attorney/client privilege issue that will be resolved by separate opinion at some point in the future.It is Tellabs' position, however, that the attorney/client privilege issue has been waived by virtue of the manner of presentation of the issues in the briefs that led to the May 1st Memorandum Opinion and Order. That question will be addressed pursuant to the following briefing schedule: Fujitsu's motion and supporting memoranda shall be filed by 5/31/2012. Tellabs' Response is to be filed by 6/21/2012.

April 3, 2012

Filing 482 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Status conference held and motion hearing held. There is presently pending before Judge Holderman a motion to strike. It is Fujitsu's position that until that motion is resolved certain 30(b)(6) depositions Tellabs seeks to take regarding the use and acquisition of confidential documents identified in the 16th notice of Rule 30(b)(6) depositions should not proceed and it has asked for entry of an order staying the depositions. It is Tellabs' position that regardless of the outcome of the motion, the evidence being sought will nonetheless be relevant in the case. Of course, if the motion is granted by Judge Holderman, making the evidence irrelevant for one purpose, it does not follow that the evidence will be inadmissible for other purposes. See Geldon v. South Milwaukee School District, 414 F.3d 817 (7th Cir. 2005). After hearing oral argument, Fujitsu's oral motion to stay discovery on the issue until Judge Holderman rules, is denied. As the first step, Fujitsu must provide immediately the names of all those in the United States who have knowledge of the matters in the disputed 30(b)(6) notices. And, it must undertake to ascertain who in Japan has such knowledge. The dates for the various rebuttal reports of the experts are extended as discussed with the parties, who will provide an order setting forth the actual dates. The dates for taking depositions is extended to 4/20/12. The status date of 4/17/12 at 9:30 a.m. shall stand. Mailed notice (ntf, )

June 21, 2011

Filing 414 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Status hearing held. Status hearing remains set for 6/30/2011 at 9:30 a.m. to discuss the possible privilege issues involving the reverse engineering undertaken by Fujitsu. The parties shall continue their discussions regarding the issues raised in court today, including the pending requests to admit and interrogatories regarding the "entire market value" rule. Tellabs has objected to what it claims is the inadequacy of Fujitsu's response to Interrogatory #4, which seeks information regarding Fujitsu's claim that the measure of damages is the entire market value of certain products sold. Fujitsu has supplemented its answer to that interrogatory and has provided documents in further response apparently pursuant to Rule 33(d), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fujitsu, however, claims that it need go no further and that the interrogatory is premature and that all the information sought will eventually be disclosed during expert discovery. That, it says, is time enough since the trial will not be until January 17, 2012. While under certain circumstances, damage theories ought to await the close of discovery, in most instances, damage contention interrogatories are perfectly proper during discovery. See discussion in U.S. ex rel. Tyson v. Amerigroup Illinois, Inc., 230 F.R.D. 538, 544 (N.D.Ill. 2005). Of course, the responding party may be required to supplement its responses pursuant to Rule 26(e), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. But even the likelihood of supplementation is not an automatic bar to discovery that is otherwise appropriate. Finally, the parties are reminded that resort to Rule 33(d) is only appropriate where "the burden of deriving or ascertaining the answer is substantially the same for the party serving the interrogatory as for the party served....."

June 1, 2011

Filing 412 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Status hearing held and continued to June 30, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. Today, I conducted an extensive discussion with counsel regarding a discovery issue that they have not been able to resolve, but which each side considers significant. It appears that Fujitsu has conducted some sort of reverse engineering on Tellabs' equipment that it purchased on eBay. Tellabs has sought discovery relating to the results of those endeavors. Fujitsu has resisted, claiming attorney/client privilege and work-product protection even for the results and observations of those endeavors. The reverse engineering was apparently undertaken by engineers who are employed by Fujitsu and by an outside Ph.D. The protections afforded by Rule 26(b)(4)(B), now 26(b)(4)(D), were not raised in the written objections filed by Fujitsu, although they were discussed at today's hearing. It was Tellabs' position that Fujitsu has injected the issue of reverse engineering into the case and thereby had waived any protection that otherwise even arguably, might have covered the results of the reverse engineering. Fujitsu disagreed, contending that it had not done so, but conceding that it if had put at issue the reverse engineering, the waiver doctrine would be properly invoked. This is the familiar waiver by implication doctrine. See e.g., Willy v. Administrative Review Bd., 423 F.3d 483, 497 (5th Cir. 2005); Flowers v. Owens, _F.R.D._, 2011 WL 1547142, 5 (N.D.Ill. 2011); United Auto Insurance Co. v. Veluchamy, 747 F.Supp.2d 1021, 1029 (N.D.Ill. 2010) At an earlier hearing when these issues were discussed, I inquired why the results of the reverse engineering should be deemed protected, since, under Hickman v. Taylor, facts are not within the work-product protection, and the attorney/client privilege as consistently enunciated for more than a century protects confidential "communications" from a client to its lawyer seeking legal advice. At my request, the parties provided me informally with cases that they believe supported their respective positions. Tellabs ultimately took the position that it wanted until June 30th to decide whether it would be relying on the reverse engineering results at trial. If it chose not to do so, then, it contended, discovery would be on a matter that was not relevant. Fujitsu disputed that contention. Viewed solely from the vantage point of Fujitsu's affirmative case, the argument had at least arguable merit. Nothing would prohibit Fujitsu from withdrawing from consideration a component of its proof or an issue that would thereby render discovery on that issue irrelevant. See the discussion in Kronenberg v. Baker & McKenzie LLP, 747 F.Supp.2d 983 (N.D.Ill. 2010). However, Fujitsu raised the possibility that it might not use the reverse engineering that had already been completed, but it might use a new outside expert to conduct further reverse engineering tests for use at trial. Of course, it is free to do so. But that may then leave in play the issue that might otherwise be mooted if the reverse engineering issue plays no role in Fujitsu's case, and if Tellabs cannot make a case for independent relevance in connection with any claim or defense it has. None of these are questions that need be answered now or that indeed are appropriate to even suggest the answer to. June 30th will be here soon enough. If, however, that day comes and there has not been a definitive answer with regard to Fujitsu's plans, Tellabs will be free to file whatever formal motion it deems appropriate. Of course, Fujitsu will have ample time to respond. Finally, I declined to review in camera an affidavit appeared by Mr. Wong, one of Fujitsu's counsel that purported to justify the claim of attorney/client privilege advanced in the objections to certain of Tellabs' discovery requests since I expressed concern about utilizing attorney/client protected statements which I was told were contained in Mr. Wong's affidavit in order to make the case for the attorney/client privilege covering whatever Tellabs engineers and outside Ph.D did in connection with their reverse engineering undertakings.

June 29, 2010

Filing 318 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole:On 6/22/10, in response to Tellabs' Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses, I entered a very specific minute order which, in part, reminded the parties of their obligations under Local Rule 37.2 and stated that compliance with the Rule would be required. It also called the parties' attention to my earlier order of 7/21/09, which previously had called the parties attention to the need for compliance with that Rule. It was unnecessary to have done so since all parties in all cases are required to comply with all Local Rules. The order of 6/22/10 also informed the parties that discovery motions would have to comply with the requirements set forth in Autotech Techonologies, Ltd. v. AutomationDirect.com, 2007 WL 2736681 (N.D.Ill. 2007). The order of 6/22/10 concluded by saying that if there was not "full compliance" within seven days with Local Rule 37.2, the order of 7/21/09, and the requirements of the 6/22/10 order, the then-pending Motion to Compel would be denied. Nonetheless, Tellabs has filed a Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses in this and in case 09 C 04530, which does not comply with Rule 37.2 or the requirements of Autotech. There is simply an opening paragraph which says: "[a]s required by Local Rule 37.2, the parties consulted by telephone, email, and letter correspondence" in an attempt to resolve their differences. Attached to the motions are a series of letters and emails. But as the plain language of Rule 37.2 provides - as pointed out in the order of 6/22/10 -- letters and emails do not count. Moreover, there is not the certificate of compliance required by Autotech. Merely attaching lengthy and complicated letters requires the judge to play archaeologist with the record, contrary to the Seventh Circuit's repeated admonition that "[d]istrict judges are not archaeologists. They need not excavate masses of papers in search of revealing tidbits-not only because the rules of procedure place the burden on the litigants, but also because their time is scarce. Other parties, who live by the rules, have a priority claim on the judge's attention. Lawyers and litigants who decide that they will play by rules of their own invention will find that the game cannot be won." Northwestern Nat. Ins. Co. v. Baltes, 15 F.3d 660, 662 -663 (7th Cir.1994). Accord, DeSilva v. DiLeonardi, 181 F.3d 865, 867 (7th Cir.1999); Jacobs v. Velasco, 41 Fed.Appx. 882, 883, 2002 W.L. 1732577, 1 (7th Cir.2002). Nor are judges "like pigs, hunting for truffles buried in briefs." United States v. Dunkel, 927 F.2d 955, 956 (7th Cir.1991). Accord, Casna v. City of Loves Park, 574 F.3d 420, 424 (7th Cir. 2009); Petts v. Rockledge Furniture LLC., 534 F.3d 715, 722 (7th Cir.2008); Alexander v. City of South Bend, 433 F.3d 550, 552 (7th Cir. 2006); Contilli v. Local 705 Intern. Broth. of Teamsters Pension Fund, 559 F.3d 720, 724 (7th Cir.2009). This is the undeviating rule in other Circuits as well. See e.g., United States v. Hoffecker, 530 F.3d 137, 163 (3d Cir.2008);.Indep. Towers of Wash. v. Washington, 350 F.3d 925, 929 (9th Cir. 2003); U.S. v. Starnes, 583 F.3d 196, 216 (3d Cir.2009); Gordon v. Virtumundo, Inc., 575 F.3d 1040, 1066 (9th Cir. 2009); Walker v. Prince George's County, MD, 575 F.3d 426, 429 (4th Cir.2009). Any future motion by any party that does not strictly comply with the order of 6/22/10 will be denied with prejudice. Similarly, any counsel for any party who refuses to have the kind of comprehensive Rule 37.2 conference that the Rule mandates will be required to bear the fees and costs associated with the bringing of the motion.

June 22, 2010

Filing 312 MINUTE entry before Honorable Jeffrey Cole: Tellabs Operations, Inc. filed today a Motion to Compel Interrogatory Responses #310 . The Motion, which is 15 pages long, with exhibits A through O, was filed under seal in its entirety, even though it contains almost exclusively legal arguments, and the accompanying exhibits consist of interrogatory responses, district court opinions and the kind of exchange of correspondence between counsel that has led Judge Posner to lament that "discovery is the bane of modern litigation." Rossetto v. Pabst Brewing Co., Inc., 217 F.3d 539, 542 (7th Cir. 2000). For the reasons explained in United Auto Ins. Co. v. Veluchamy, 2010 WL 889980 (N.D.Ill. 2010), the filing of the motion under seal, without a parallel filing in the public record with only redactions of information that qualify for under seal treatment, is improper. The cases are consistent in demanding that litigation be conducted in public to the maximum extent, consistent with respecting trade secrets, the identities of undercover agents, and other facts that should be held in confidence. See, e.g., Baxter International, Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544 (7th Cir.2002); Grove Fresh Distributors, Inc. v. Everfresh Juice Co.,24 F.3d 893 (7th Cir.1994). This means that both judicial opinions and litigants' briefs must be in the public record, if necessary in parallel versions-one full version containing all details, and another redacted version with confidential information omitted. Hicklin Engineering, L.C. v. Bartell, 439 F.3d 346, 348 (7th Cir.2006). The Motion is also improper in that it fails to comply with Local Rule 7.2. That Rule, which is also referred to on my website, provides that:"This court shall hereafter refuse to hear any and all motions for discovery and production of documents under Rules 26 through 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, unless the motion includes a statement (1) that after consultation in person or by telephone and good faith attempts to resolve differences they are unable to reach an accord, or (2) counsel's attempts to engage in such consultation were unsuccessful due to no fault of counsel's. Where the consultation occurred, this statement shall recite, in addition, the date, time and place of such conference, and the names of all parties participating therein. Where counsel was unsuccessful in engaging in such consultation, the statement shall recite the efforts made by counsel to engage in consultation."The purpose of the Rule is "[t]o curtail undue delay and expense in the administration of justice." The Rule ultimately rests on what Holmes called the shortness of life and the reality that there is a never ending procession of cases that compete for judicial attention. If the parties can resolve the issue, the court's time is saved and available to be directed to those cases that present issues that cannot be amicably resolved. Each hour needlessly spent on a dispute is an hour squandered. See Chicago Observer, Inc. v. City of Chicago, 929 F.2d 325, 329 (7th Cir.1991) ("Litigation is costly not only for the litigants but also for parties in other cases waiting in the queue for judicial attention."). This is a problem that the Seventh Circuit has repeatedly adverted to. See, e.g., Otto v. Variable Annuity Life Ins. Co.,134 F.3d 841, 854 (7th Cir.1998); Channell v. Citicorp Nat. Services, Inc., 89 F.3d 379, 386 (7th Cir.1996); Szabo Food Service, Inc. v. Canteen Corp., 823 F.2d 1073, 1077 (7th Cir.1987).The Motion, however, does not appear to contain the certification required by L.R. 37.2 or my Order of 7/21/09. It merely adverts to exchanges of letters and emails,which are attached as exhibits. Rule 37.2, however, is not satisfied by an exchange of letters. As its plain terms reflect, there must be consultation in person or by telephone. Finally, the Motion does not comply with my order of 7/21/09 #177 , which requires not only that the Certificate of Compliance comply strictly with Local Rule 37.2, but "in addition shall reflect the items discussed, on an item-by-item basis, stating what was discussed and the response from each party, regarding the particular item, including any concessions offered by a party and an explanation of why that concession was rejected. See Autotech Technologies Ltd. Partnership v. Automation Direct.com., 2007 W.L. 2736681 (N.D. Ill 2007)." The plaintiff shall have seven days to fully comply with Local Rule 37.2 and my order of 7/21/09 and to file "parallel versions" of the Motion to Compel as required by the Seventh Circuit. If there has not been full compliance by that date, the Motion will be denied. The parties need not appear on 6/28/10, the date set for presentment of the Motion to Compel. A status will be held on 6/30/10 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice (cdh, )

Filing 177 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cole:Status hearing held. Status hearing and oral arguments set for Monday, July 27, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. are stricken. Status hearing is reset to August 18, at 9:30 a.m. at which time a date for oral arguments on Defendants Motion to Compel an Answer to Interrogatory #155 shall be set. In the event of future discovery disputes, strict compliance with Local Rule 37.2 will be required. The Certificate of Compliance shall comply precisely with the Rule and shall reflect the items discussed, on an item-by-item basis, stating what was discussed and the response from each party, regarding the particular item, including any concessions offered by a party and an explanation of why that concession was rejected. See Autotech Technologies Ltd. Partnership v. Automation Direct.com., 2007 W.L. 2736681 (N.D. Ill 2007). Further, all future discovery disputes will be considered against the backdrop of Judge Easterbrooks panel opinion in Rickles v City of South Bend, Indiana, 33 F.3d 785, 786 (7th Cir. 1994) (The great operative principle of Rule 37(a)(4) is that the loser pays. Charles Alan Wright & Arthur R. Miller, 8 Federal Practice and Procedure 2288 at 787 (1970). Fee shifting, when the judge must rule on discovery disputes, encourages their voluntary resolution and curtails the ability of litigants to use the legal process to heap detriments on adversaries without regard to the merits of the claim.). Finally, the parties are reminded of Local Rule 5.2(d), which requires that courtesy copies of all filings must be delivered to chambers, and any attached exhibits must be separated by protruding tabs. Failure to provide Chambers with an appropriate courtesy copy may result in the motion, response or reply being stricken. Rule 5.2(e). Mailed notice (ef, )

The terms requiring extrinsic evidence for the '681 patent are: "gain," "optical attenuator," "controls a level of the amplified WDM optical signal," "controls a level of the first stage amplified WDM optical signal," "substantially even," and "substantially flat." As to the '006 patent, the court will require extrinsic evidence concerning the structure corresponding to the identified function for the terms: "cross connecting means," "path switching means," "controlling means," "said controlling means also controls," "said controlling means determines," "a first alarm indication signal detecting means," "a second alarm indication signal detecting means," "a first unequipment code signal detecting means," "a second unequipment code signal detecting means," and "a determining means."
