The Regents of the University of California (“The Regents”) and Defendants, Counterclaim

(collectively “MTI”), through their respective counsel of record as follows:

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING PRODUCTION OF LETTER

CASE NO: C 03 05669 JW (RS)

pertaining to the translation of the “1983 Bari Paper.” On July 13, 2007, Magistrate Judge 

Seeborg entered an Order Re Motion to Compel UC to Produce Unredacted Documents (Dkt. 

No. 811), which ordered The Regents to produce unredacted copies of two documents 

relating to The Regents’ search for a doctoral thesis purportedly authored by a cousin of Dr. 

Guido Guglielmi, bearing Bates Nos. UCR041068-69 and UCR041076-80 ( a June 3, 1996 

letter from The Regents’ patent lawyer, Daniel Dawes, to Valentin Fikovsky (copying, inter 

alia, Target’s then-president and patent attorneys)), except as to any material wholly

unrelated to the search for the thesis. See id. at 6.

In response to the July 13, 2007 Order of Judge Seeborg, The Regents produced the 

June 3, 1996 letter, unredacted in part. MTI has requested that The Regents produce the 

entirety of the June 3, 1996 letter. MTI’s position is that the subject matter of the redacted 

portion appears to directly relate to a subject expressly covered in the prior Orders (i.e., the 

purported “independent” translation of the 1983 Bari Paper and/or the search for thesis) and, 

accordingly, that the unredacted letter must be produced. The Regents disputes MTI’s 

interpretation of the scope of the Orders. 

In order to resolve this matter, The Regents has agreed to produce a fully unredacted 

copy of the June 3, 1996 letter. The parties agree that the production of this letter shall be 

deemed to have been ordered by the Court and that this production will not constitute 

grounds to argue any further waiver of the attorney client privilege or work product 

protection.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ATTESTATION
