PLAINTIFF TELCORDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.’S
OBJECTIONS TO DEFENDANT ALCATEL USA, INC.’S
OF DEPOSITION OF THIERRY HOUDOIN
Plaintiff Telcordia Technologies Inc. ("Telcordia"), by its attorneys, hereby objects to
Defendant Alcatel USA, lnc.’s ("Alcatel") Notice of Deposition of Thierry Houdoin.
OBJECTIONS
1. Telcordia objects to the time and location of the deposition. Telcordia will work
with Alcatel to schedule a properly noticed and properly conducted deposition at a mutually
agreeable time and place.
2. Telcordia objects to the extent the notice and deposition do not comply with Rules
28(b) and 29, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Hague Convention, the laws of France, or
other laws regarding depositions conducted in France. For example, Alcatel’s March 1, 2006,
notice to take the deposition of Thierry Houdoin beginning at 9:00 am on April 6, 2006, on its
face does not appear to have properly notified all appropriate authorities of the deposition.
Accordingly, Telcordia does not agree to any deposition conducted in violation of applicable
laws and conventions.
3. Telcordia objects to the extent that Mr. Houdoin’s employer has not approved this
deposition, for example, by releasing Mr. Houdoin to divulge his emp1oyer’s confidential

information.
4. Telcordia objects to the use, including use by other parties, of any testimony from
the noticed deposition in separate cases, such as the pending suits against Lucent and Cisco
(Telcordia Technologies, Inc. v. Lucent Technologies, Inc., Civil Action No. 04-875-GMS and
Telcordia Technologies, [nc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc., Civil Action No. 04-876-GMS),
5. Telcordia objects to the use of any documents at the deposition that have been
obtained by Alcatel, whether by subpoena to France Telecom or otherwise, that have not been
identified or provided to counsel for Telcordia by the close of business on March 31, 2006,
including documents bearing a production range of KK00000l-KK000l2l.
6. Telcordia objects to the extent that defendants Alcatel, Cisco, or Lucent have had
access to the noticed deponent prior to the deposition, such as through infonnal interviews in
which Telcordia was not present.
7. Telcordia objects to the late notice regarding contact information of the noticed
deponent.
8. Telcordia objects to the redaction of information in certain documents within the
production range of KK00000l-KK000l2l, because no basis has been provided for withholding
this information from Tel cordia.
