STIPULATION 

WHEREAS, LivePerson, Inc. and (“LivePerson”) and [24]7.ai, Inc. and 24/7 Customer 

Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “[24]7”) are conducting depositions of witnesses and Rule 30(b)(6) 

witnesses who will testify to facts and evidence that pertain to three cases: Case No. 3:17-cv01268-JST (“the Trade Secret Action”) and Case Nos. 3:15-CV-02897-JST (KAW) (Lead Case) 

and Case No. 3:15-CV-05585-JST (KAW) (collectively, “the Patent Action”); 

WHEREAS, the parties previously agreed and the Court ordered that in the Patent Action, 

“each side shall be entitled to 70 hours of fact deposition” (Dkt. No. 306 in Trade Secret Action at 

7); 

WHEREAS, the parties previously agreed and the Court ordered that in the Trade Secret 

Action, “each side may take up to 18 depositions of fact witnesses” (Id. at 23); 

WHEREAS, in the Patent Action, LivePerson has 62 hours of deposition examination 

time remaining and [24]7 has 70 hours of deposition examination time remaining; 

WHEREAS, in the Trade Secret Action, LivePerson has 7 depositions remaining and 

[24]7 has 10 depositions remaining; 

WHEREAS, converting the remaining depositions left in the Trade Secret Case into hours 

(assuming 7 hours of examination per deposition) and combining the deposition examination time 

expended to date by each party in both cases, LivePerson has a total of 111 hours of deposition 

examination and [24]7 has 135 hours of deposition examination remaining; 

WHEREFOR, The parties, subject to the approval of the Court, hereby agree and stipulate 

as follows: 

1. Each party’s remaining deposition hours will be pooled and apply to all fact 

depositions, including Rule 30(b)(6) depositions, across both the Trade Secret 

Action and the Patent Action. 

2. These hours may be used in either case. 

3. The length of a party’s deposition examination is based on time “on the 

record” or time that the videotape is running, whichever is longer.

4. A deposition may be noticed in either the Patent Action or the Trade Secret 

Action, and the witness may be asked questions relevant to either action or 

both actions. 

5. The 7-hour limit still applies to each individual witness. Nothing here is 

intended to change a party’s right to seek more than 7 hours of deposition 

examination time for an individual witness as may be permitted under the 

Rules. 

6. Each individual witness sworn in for testimony by the noticing party shall 

count for a minimum of 2 hours of deposition examination time by that party, 

even if the deposition ends short of 2 hours. 

7. For third party depositions, the deposition examination time taken for those 

depositions shall be counted the same as party depositions, as set forth in the 

above. For third parties, counsel may cross examine the third party deponent 

without serving a separate subpoena. The party serving the third-party 

subpoena, or in the case where both parties subpoena the same third party, the 

party to first serve a subpoena, shall leave a reasonable time for crossexamination by the other party, that time to be agreed to between the parties 

prior to the commencement of the third-party deposition. 

SO STIPULATED.
