Re: LG. Philips LCD C0., Lid v. ViewSonic Corporation, etal.;
C.A. No. 04-343 (JJF)
Dear Counsel:
By correspondence dated January 26, 2007 from counsel for ViewSonic Corporation
("ViewSonic") and correspondence dated February 2, 2007 from counsel for LG. Philips LCD
Co., Ltd ("LPL"), the parties have requested that the Special Master provide guidance with
respect to the scope of privilege logs.
Without reciting the parties’ respective positions formulated over time with respect to
same, suffice it to say that unless the parties are able to agree otherwise on the scope of the
privilege log, it is expected that a privilege log must include all documents, whether pre or post
the commencement of litigation, that would be responsive to discovery requests and therefore
produced absent the claim of a privilege.
While it is important at times for the Special Master to assist the parties in arriving at
their own resolution of disputes that are ripe for consideration and while it may be appropriate
for the Special Master to facilitate meet and confer sessions regarding matters not yet ripe for
consideration, the Special Master is not convinced that the present circumstance warrants
guidance. At the same time, if the parties request that this issue be the subject of fiuther meet
and confer with the participation of the Special Master, please request time for same before the
end of the week.
