On June 7, 2005 at 9:00 A.M. in this Court, Plaintiff/Counterdefendant Sunrise 

Telecom Incorporated’s Motion to Compel came on regularly for hearing. Sunrise and

Based on the papers filed by the parties, oral argument and the record in this action, and good

Acterna must engage in and complete a reasonably diligent search of its records 

and produce the following materials that are located in that search: 

1. All non-privileged email, correspondence, notes, and memoranda responsive 

to all of Sunrise’s Request Nos. 1–166, consistent with this order and subject 

to Acterna’s objections; 

2. All non-privileged financial data including quarterly and annual statements, 

forecasts, and costs of manufacturing, as well as information related to 

profitability, pricing, and revenue for the ANT-5 and ANT-20 (Request Nos. 

139, 140–142, and 146–150); 

3. All non-privileged documents related to market analyses for any of the 

Sunrise Accused Products (Request No. 152); 

4. All non-privileged marketing, sales and distribution materials relating to the 

ANT-5 and ANT-20 products and products embodying the ‘766 Patent, 

including organization charts, brochures or other marketing collateral, trade 

show information, advertisements, presentations, market surveys, and market 

analyses (Request Nos. 13-16, 59, 64, 66, 67, 79–84, 100, 138, and 139); 

5. All non-privileged information regarding Acterna’s competitors in the 

markets relevant to this action (Request No. 144); 

6. All service agreements, agreements to supply replacement parts and 

authorized dealer agreements for the ANT-5 and ANT-20 products (Request 

No. 134); 

7. All materials relating to negotiations, meetings or contracts with any person 

that makes, uses, sells or offers for sale the ANT-5 and ANT-20 products 

(Request No. 137); 

8. All non-privileged communications with or about Acterna’s actual or 

potential customers of the ANT-5 and ANT-20 products (Request Nos. 135 

and 143);

9. All non-privileged documents sufficient to show the location and cost of 

manufacturing the ANT-5 and ANT-20 products (Request Nos. 136 and 140); 

10. Parts lists for the SDA 4040 and SDA 5000 products (Request Nos. 93 and

the parties will meet and confer regarding the production of documents that 

are unreadable, corrupt or unidentifiable file formats; 

12. All non-privileged documents related to any evaluation of Acterna’s 

Intellectual Property (Request No. 145);

13. All non-privileged documents that identify Acterna employees or agents who 

inspected or reverse engineered the SUNRISE ACCUSED PRODUCTS and 

communications related thereto (Request No. 161); and 

14. All non-privileged documents responsive to Request Nos. 17, 55–72, 85–92, 

100, 106–108 that have not already been produced, subject to Acterna’s 

objections;

With respect to Acterna’s response to Request No. 161, the Parties agree to the 

following protocol: 

a) Acterna will send an email substantially as follows to its 

engineering staff seeking information and documents on the 

following type of inspection: “We are interested in 

individuals who have physically inspected (including any 

disassembly, use or reverse engineering, but not merely 

viewing the device externally) any Sunrise Accused Product 

(CM250, CM500, CM1000, N1776A, AT2000, and/or 

AT2500) at the direction of anyone on Acterna’s behalf or 

for purposes of a) determining how the device is 

manufactured and/or operates or b) for purposes of 

comparing such product(s) to any Acterna product. Please 

respond to this email if you have engaged in any such 

inspection or know of anyone who has.” 

b) Acterna’s counsel will then request details on the inspection 

and all documents related to the inspection. 

c) Acterna will produce all non-privileged documents relating 

to such inspections that are obtained in response to this 

email, if any. These documents will supplement the 

documents that Acterna has already produced in response to 

Request for Production Nos. 157 and 159-162. To the 

extent Acterna receives responsive documents after June 28, 

2005, Acterna will remain obligated to produce all nonprivileged materials. Acterna must, however, make its best 

effort to conclude this process by July 15, 2005. 

d) If, as a result of this email, Acterna learns of any additional 

such inspections it will supplement its responses to 

Interrogatory Nos. 10-12 accordingly (subject to 

attorney/client privilege and attorney work product 

objections). To the extent responses are received after 

June 28, 2005, Acterna will have a continuing obligation to 

supplement its responses to such interrogatories. Acterna 

must, however, make its best effort to conclude this process 

by July 15, 2005.

e) If privileged documents (generated prior to commencement 

of this litigation) are obtained in response to this email, they 

will be identified on a privilege log in accordance with 

F.R.C.P. and the Court’s Order Re Discovery Procedures. 

f) The Parties agree that by taking these steps, Acterna will 

have fulfilled all of its discovery obligations with respect to 

Interrogatory Nos. 10-12 and Request for Production Nos. 

157 and 159-162, regardless of whether any additional 

documents or information are obtained as a result of this 

email. 

In addition, the Parties will meet and confer regarding the production of additional 

financial data, which Acterna contends is contained in electronic form only. Acterna will 

generate all reports containing responsive data from its electronic systems that Sunrise reasonably 

requests.

Acterna is ordered to complete its production of documents in response to 

Sunrise’s First through Seventh Sets of Requests for Production of Documents by June 28, 2005, 

and include an accompanying declaration of the Acterna person most knowledgeable attesting 

that all reasonable and diligent search efforts have been made and that all non-privileged 

documents have been produced; 

Acterna is further ordered to produce a sample SF-60 device it has located and is 

ordered to use best efforts to produce that device in proper working order; 

Acterna is further ordered to produce a privilege log in compliance with the 

Court’s standing discovery order. Such log must be produced by June 28, 2005; 

The Court further revises its May 31, 2005, Order resulting from Acterna’s Motion 

to Compel by extending until June 28, 2005, the date for Sunrise to complete its production of 

documents in response to Acterna’s First and Second Sets of Requests for Production of 

Documents. As set forth in the prior Order, Sunrise shall include an accompanying declaration of 

the Sunrise person most knowledgeable attesting that all reasonable and diligent search efforts 

have been made and that all non-privileged documents have been produced. Except as expressly 

revised herein, that Order is in full force and effect.
