IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE IN RE: REMBRANDT TECHNOLOGIES, LP PATENT LITIGATION

MDL Docket No. 07-md-1848 (GMS) (All Cases)

TWC'S OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S PARTIAL NOTICE OF VIDEOTAPED ORAL DEPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS PURSUANT TO RULE 30(b)(6) Pursuant to Rules 30 and 34, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, defendants Time Warner Cable, Inc., Time Warner Cable LLC, Time Warner New York Cable LLC (properly known as Time Warner NY Cable LLC ), Time Warner Entertainment Company, LP, and Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (collectively "Time Warner Cable" or "TWC") object and respond to plaintiff Rembrandt Technologies, LP's ("Rembrandt") Partial Notice of Videotaped Oral Deposition to Defendants Pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) dated August 18, 2008 ("Rembrandt's Partial Notice"). GENERAL OBJECTIONS 1. TWC objects to Rembrandt's Partial Notice to the extent that Rembrandt, by

designating the notice "Partial," improperly seeks the opportunity to serve additional notices of deposition pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) on TWC. Under Rule 30(a)(2), Rembrandt is limited to a single deposition of TWC, absent leave of Court. Rembrandt cannot circumvent this rule by styling its notice as "Partial." 2. TWC objects to the date of the deposition set forth in Rembrandt's Partial Notice.

Rembrandt made no effort to meet and confer with TWC regarding the date of the deposition prior serving its Partial Notice. Furthermore, the date noticed by Rembrandt is inconsistent with Rembrandt's purported demand that TWC respond to any and all pending discovery requests prior to the deposition. TWC will produce a designee or designees to testify on its behalf, if at all, on a mutually-convenient date to be agreed to between the parties. 3. TWC objects to Rembrandt's Partial Notice to the extent that it purports to require

TWC to complete its response to any and all pending discovery requests from Rembrandt prior to the deposition. TWC will respond to Rembrandt's discovery requests in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Court's scheduling orders in this litigation. 4. TWC objects to the Partial Notice to the extent that it purports to require TWC to provide notice of the identity of the witness(es) designated by TWC to counsel for Rembrandt no later than ten (10) business days prior to the date on which the deposition will commence. 5. TWC objects to the Partial Notice to the extent that it purports to require TWC to

complete its response to any and all pending discovery requests from Rembrandt prior to the deposition. TWC will respond to Rembrandt's discovery requests in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Court's scheduling orders in this litigation. 6. TWC objects to Rembrandt's Partial Notice to the extent that it purports to require

TWC to produce any documents or things at or before the deposition. Rembrandt may not demand the production of documents from TWC through a notice of deposition under Rule 30. Rather, Rembrandt must serve an accompanying request for production pursuant to Rule 34. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(2). To the extent that Rembrandt's reference to Rule 34 in its Partial Notice could be construed to constitute an "accompanied" request for production pursuant to Rule 34, Rembrandt's request is improper because it seeks production of documents in less than the 30 days required by Rule 34. 7. TWC objects to each deposition topic and instruction to the extent it is vague,

ambiguous, unintelligible, overbroad, and/or fails to describe the matters for examination with reasonable particularity. 8. TWC objects to any deposition topic or instruction to the extent it seeks to impose

upon TWC an obligation that is inconsistent with or greater than that imposed by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and/or any other applicable rule or order of the Court. 9. TWC objects to each of the definitions as vague, ambiguous, and overly broad,

including without limitation, "relating to", "persons", "Defendants", "Advanced Television

Systems Committee", "ATSC", "ATSC Digital Television Standard", "ATSC-Compliant Devices", "ATSC-Compliant Digital TV Signals", "ATSC patents", and "Accused Activity". 10. TWC objects to the definitions of "Time Warner," "You," and "Your" as vague, overbroad, and unintelligible to the extent that these definitions purport to include third persons, "affiliates of any kind or nature," "any person or entity acting on their behalf," or other nonparties. TWC further objects to these definitions as calling for a legal conclusion. 11. TWC objects to the deposition topics to the extent that they seek information

which is not within TWC' possession, custody, or control. TWC further objects to the deposition topics to the extent that they request information concerning third-party activities on the ground that such topics are overly broad and unduly burdensome. 12. TWC objects to the deposition topics to the extent they seek information that is

not relevant to the subject matter involved in this litigation or is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. In particular, TWC objects the deposition topics as overly broad and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence to the extent that it seeks information regarding products, services or patents not at issue in this litigation. 13. TWC objects to the deposition topics as unreasonable and unduly burdensome to

the extent that they request information that is already in the Rembrandt's possession, is readily accessible to Rembrandt, or that is available from public sources. 14. TWC objects to the deposition topics as cumulative or duplicative to the extent

that they seek information that already has been sought by Rembrandt in other discovery requests. To the extent that such information has been or will be supplied in response to other discovery requests by Rembrandt, TWC objects to producing a witness on that same subject matter which is best obtained through, other less expensive and burdensome discovery methods. 15. TWC objects to the deposition topics as premature pursuant to the Court's

scheduling to the extent that they seek information regarding any potential advice of counsel defense prior to Rembrandt's making an adequate prima facie showing of willfulness.

TWC objects to the deposition topics to the extent that they seek the premature

disclosure of expert opinions or analysis. TWC will disclose such information at the time and in the manner set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of this Court, and this Court's scheduling orders in this case. 17. TWC objects to the deposition topics to the extent they seek information protected

by the attorney-client privilege, the attorney work product doctrine, the joint defense privilege, the community of interest privilege, or any other applicable privilege or immunity from discovery. 18. TWC objects to the deposition topics to the extent that they are ambiguous as to

the time frame intended to be covered and, as such, are overbroad. TWC further objects to the deposition topics to the extent that they contain no limitation on the time frame on the grounds that they are overly broad, unduly burdensome and oppressive. 19. TWC objects to the deposition topics to the extent that they purport to give

meaning or legal significance to a document, fact or purported fact, whose meaning or significance is the subject of dispute between the parties. 20. TWC reserves the right to use or introduce, for any hearing or trial, information

not known to exist at this time, including information obtained through discovery in this litigation. 21. TWC incorporates these General Objections into each specific objection below.

A specific objection may restate an objection for emphasis or some other reason. The failure to restate any General Objection in a specific objection shall not constitute a waiver of the objection.

OBJECTIONS TO TOPIC NO. 4: TWC objects to this request to the extent is seeks information relating to activities subsequent to the commencement of the litigation between Rembrandt and TWC on June 1, 2006. TWC further objects to "Any analysis, opinion, or inquiry regarding potential infringement", "the claims in each of the `627 Patent", "any pre-litigation and postcommencement-of-litigation investigations", "on behalf of", "related to the potential infringement", "any products or systems", "including but not limited to" and "your partners, your licensors, your customers, your resellers, and/or your affiliates" as vague, ambiguous, and overly broad.

TWC further objects to this topic to the extent that it suggests that any of TWC's existing products and/or services infringe the `627 Patent. TWC further objects that discovery relating to this topic is premature in that the Court has not yet construed the claims of the `627 Patent and Rembrandt's Preliminary Infringement Contentions are too vague and conclusory for TWC reasonably to prepare a witness regarding what might constitute an "effort" to "design around."
