Deposition Of Peter Symes, Taken On June 24, 2004.

(a) General Objections

TLC objects to admission of any of Symes deposition testimony after page 41, line 23

of the transcript. The objection is overruled. TLC is correct that it originally obtained leave

to take the deposition of Symes, limited to one half day, in light of the fact that Gennum was

granted permission to take the deposition of Lori Cooper. See Transcript of Proceedings,

March 23, 2004, at 32:11-33:16. Gennum, however, subsequently requested and was granted 

leave to depose “the Grass Valley folks.” See Transcript of Proceedings, April 12, 2004, at

274:24-25; 275:23-276:6. TLC’s further objection based on the witnesses’ refusal to allow

inspection of certain documents in his possession is also overruled. 

(b) Specific objections

Portion objected to Ruling

46: 2-4, 8 Overruled.

46:9, 12 Overruled.

46:13-14, 17-21 Sustained.

56:2-13 Sustained.

56:19-57:3, 5-18 Overruled.

57:21-58:17 Overruled.

Counter-designations

Gennum objects to certain of TLC’s counter-designations on grounds that they go

beyond the scope of Gennum’s designations. The objection is sustained with respect to the

designation of 372: 9-18 of the June 2, 2003 Cooper deposition. 

As to the Symes deposition, the rulings are set forth below.
