7A. Nature of the proceedings (Article 3, c) 

The above captioned civil case is an action for patent infringement under Section 35 of the 

United States Code. On January 6, 2017, Plaintiff Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”), a Delaware Corporation, 

filed Case No. 5:17-cv-00072-BLF in the Northern District of California against Cisco Systems, 

Inc. (“Cisco”). Thereafter, on March 27, 2017, Finjan filed an amended complaint. After the 

Court granted Cisco’s motion to dismiss Finjan’s willful infringement allegations with leave to 

amend, Finjan filed a Second Amended Complaint amending its willful infringement allegations 

which Cisco again moved to dismiss. On February 6, 2018, the Court denied Cisco’s motion to 

dismiss and on February 20, 2018, Cisco filed its answer, asserting various affirmative defenses. 

Discovery is ongoing, with fact discovery to end on April 18, 2019. Finjan and Cisco have entered 

into a protective order covering the use of confidential material in the litigation. 

B. Summary of complaint 

Summary of Finjan’s complaint against Cisco 

Finjan alleges that Cisco has directly and willfully infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 6,154,844

(“the ‘844 Patent”), 6,804,780 (“the ‘780 Patent”), 7,647,633 (“the ‘633 Patent”), 8,141,154 (“the 

‘154 Patent”) and 8,677,494 (“the ‘494 Patent”) (collectively the “Patents-in-Suit”) by making, 

using, selling, offering for sale and/or importing technologies in connection with Cisco’s Advanced 

Malware Protection (“AMP”), Cisco Collective Security Intelligence (“CCSI”), Cisco Outbreak 

Filters, Talos Security Intelligence and Research Group (“Talos”), and AMP Threat Grid 

technologies, including Cisco AMP for Endpoints, Cisco AMP for Networks (also referred to by 

Cisco as “NGIPS”), Cisco AMP for ASA with FirePOWER Services, Cisco AMP Private Cloud 

Virtual Appliance, Cisco AMP for CWS, ESA, or WSA, Cisco AMP for Meraki MX, Cisco AMP 

Threat Grid (collectively, “Accused AMP Products”); Talos service that detects, analyzes and 

protects against both known and emerging threats, utilizing systems that create threat intelligence 

for Cisco products (collectively, “Accused Talos Service”); and Cisco’s Outbreak Filters (also 

known as IronPort Outbreak Filters) with Talos, including Cisco’s ESA appliances: ESA C690, 

ESA C690X, ESA C680, ESA C390, ESA C380, ESA C190, ESA C170, ESAV C100v, ESAV 

C300v, ESAV C600v, SMA M690/690X/680, SMA M390/380 and SMA M190/170 (collectively, 

“Accused Outbreak Filter Products”). 

Finjan additionally alleges that Cisco has induced infringement of each of the Patents-inSuit by instructing, directing and/or requiring others to perform all or some of the steps of method 

claims of the Patents-in-Suit. Finjan further alleges that Cisco’s infringement is willful. Finjan 

contends it holds all rights, title, and interest in the Patents-in-Suit. Finjan seeks damages and 

injunctive relief for the alleged infringement, as well as a finding that this case is exceptional. 

C. Summary of Defenses 

Summary of Cisco’s Answer and Affirmative Defenses 

In its Answer to Finjan’s Second Amended Complaint, Cisco contends that its accused 

products were developed independently of Finjan and do not practice any of Finjan’s patents. 

Cisco accordingly denies Finjan’s allegations of patent infringement. Cisco further denied that the 

Asserted Patents are valid and enforceable. Additionally, Cisco contends that the ’494 Patent is 

unenforceable due to inequitable conduct based on the submission of what Cisco contends was a 

knowingly false declaration by Shlomo Touboul, a named inventor, during prosecution of that

various affirmative defenses including: Express/Implied License; Government Sales Exemption; 

and Ensnarement Doctrine. 

8A. Evidence to be obtained (Article 3, d) 

Confidentiality of documents and testimony 

This Letter of Request is for evidence that is expected to be used at trial in the underlying 

civil action. The evidence will be treated consistent with the protective order that has already been 

entered in this case. Confidential information disclosed in Finjan, Inc. v. Cisco Systems, Inc., Case 

No. 5:17-cv-00072-BLF-SVK (N.D. Cal.), is subject to a protective order (“Stipulated Protective 

Order”) attached to this Letter of Request as Exhibit 1. The Stipulated Protective Order is designed 

to protect producing entities from any unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential or proprietary 

information and allows third parties to produce material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL,” 

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY – SOURCE CODE.” Stipulated Protective Order at §§ 2.5; 2.14; 11. 

Further, the Stipulated Protective Order provides generally for return or destruction of designated 

material within sixty (60) days of the final disposition of the case. Id., at § 15.1. This Court has 

jurisdiction over the parties and the Protective Orders for the purposes of compliance with and 

enforcement of its terms. 

Third parties in Israel – such as Mr. Polani whose testimony is sought herein – may enforce 

the terms of the Protective Order against the parties. Stipulated Protective Order at § 11. 

Requested Evidence 

This Court respectfully requests that this Letter of Request be executed by the Directorate 

of Courts of Israel and carried out (in whole or part) by the Directorate of Courts and any court 

appointed by it. Upon execution of this Letter of Request, it is respectfully requested that the 

competent judicial authorities of Israel apply all appropriate means available to them to compel 

compliance with the following requests for documents and testimony. 

Consistent with Chapter 2 Articles 17, 18, and 19 of the Hague Convention, and to the 

extent that the Israeli Court deems it appropriate to appoint a private lawyer to assist in taking

LETTER OF REQUEST PURSUANT TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION OF 18 MARCH 1970 ON THE TAKING OF

EVIDENCE IN CIVIL OR COMMERCIAL MATTERS – CASE NO.: 5:17-CV-00072-BLF-SVK 

evidence (pursuant to section 16(b) of Israel’s Legal Assistance between Countries Law, 1998), the 

Court respectfully requests that Advocate Shlomo Cohen be so appointed. This Court is informed 

that Advocate Cohen is a principal of Dr. Shlomo Cohen & Co., B. S. R Tower 3, 5 Kineret St., 

Bnei Brak, 5126237, Israel (Phone: (972-3) 527 1919; Fax: (972-3) 527 2666) and that Advocate 

Cohen has, in connection with several other Hague Convention Letters of Request from the United 

States, been so appointed pursuant to section 16(b) of the Legal Assistance between Countries 

Law. 

Requested Evidence from Asher Polani and Purpose of the Evidence Sought 

Cisco understands that between July 2005 through October 2007, Mr. Polani was Finjan’s 

Chief Executive Officer and also served as a member of Finjan’s Board of Directors for some time 

thereafter. Therefore, Cisco believes that Mr. Polani has knowledge of and possesses documents, 

related to at least: (1) Finjan’s efforts to license and/or enforce its intellectual property between 

2005 and 2007; (2) Finjan’s statement regarding the scope of its intellectual property and 

technology; (3) Finjan’s demotion of and potential litigation with its founder, Shlomo Touboul; (4) 

document preservation efforts between 2005 and 2007; and (5) communications to, from, and 

concerning Cisco between 2005 and 2007. Because Mr. Polani does not agree to appear for 

deposition in the United States, this Court requests that Mr. Polani be compelled to appear for 

deposition regarding the topics set forth in the schedule attached as Exhibit 2 and that he be 

compelled to produce all documents within his possession, custody or control covered by the 

schedule attached as Exhibit 3. 

9. Identity and address of any person to be examined (Article 3, e) 

This Court is informed that Mr. Polani is not represented by counsel but may be contacted 

at his place of business: ContinUse Biometrics Ltd., HaBarzel 32b, Tel Aviv 6971048 Israel. 

10. Subject matter about which persons are to be examined (Article 3, f) 

This Court requests that Mr. Polani be compelled to appear for deposition regarding the 

topics set forth in the schedule attached as Exhibit 2. 

11. Documents or other property to be inspected (Article 3, g) 

This Court requests that Mr. Polani be compelled to produce all documents within his

possession, custody or control covered by the schedule attached as Exhibit 3. 

12. Any requirement that the evidence be given on oath or affirmation and any 

special form to be used (Article 3, h) 

This Court requests that this witness be placed under oath before answering questions. The 

requested form of the oath is: “Do you solemnly state that the testimony you will give in this 

deposition proceeding will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” 

In the event that the witness cannot be placed under oath, it is requested that he or she 

answer questions in such manner as provided by Israeli law for taking evidence, including those 

provisions intended to ensure the veracity of oral testimony. 

13. Special methods or procedure to be followed (Articles 3, i and 9) 

For production of documents, this Court requests that: 

(a) the witnesses produce all documents within their possession, custody, or 

control, or to which the witnesses otherwise have access, that are responsive 

to the document requests; 

(b) the requested documents be produced in the form of duplicates of the 

original documents instead of summaries or descriptions; 

(c) the requested documents be numbered serially (e.g., “POLANI00001”) for 

ease of identification; 

(d) any confidential information be so designated according to the terms of the 

Stipulated Protective Order; 

(e) the requested documents be produced as they are kept in the usual course of 

business, or be organized and labeled to correspond to the categories in the 

request; 

(f) the requested documents include electronically stored information produced 

in a form in which it is ordinarily maintained or in a reasonably usable for; 

and 

(g) the same electronically stored information need not be produced in more 

than one form. 

This Court requests “American-style” depositions. Specifically, it is requested that: 

(a) United States trial counsel for Finjan and Cisco be permitted to examine the 

witnesses under oath pursuant to the United States Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure; 

(b) counsel for the witnesses, including any United States counsel, be permitted 

to defend the depositions pursuant to the United States Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure;

(c) the depositions take place before a court reporter experienced in American 

depositions who will produce a verbatim transcript of the deposition; 

(d) the depositions take place before a videographer experienced in American 

depositions who will videotape the deposition; 

(e) the witnesses be required to review, correct, and sign the verbatim transcript 

within 14 days after the transcript is furnished to the witness (which may 

take 2 to 3 weeks); 

(f) the witnesses be examined as soon as practicable; and 

(g) the witnesses produce requested documents thirty business days prior to the 

examination of the witnesses. 

14. Request for notification of the time and place for the execution of the Letter of 

Request and identity and address of any person to be notified (Article 7)

authority at the execution of the Letter of Request (Article 8)

Not applicable (assuming that American-style depositions will take place). 

16. Specification of privilege or duty to refuse to give evidence under the law of the 

State of origin (Article 11, b) 

Any privilege to refuse to give evidence under United States law is contained in the United 

States Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Evidence, and other applicable United 

States laws. Specifically, the witness must answer all questions unless the witness is directed by 

counsel not to answer the question. Such an instruction is appropriate only when necessary to 

preserve a privilege, to enforce a limitation directed by a court, or to support a motion to cease 

testimony due to harassment of the witness. 

17. The fees and costs incurred which are reimbursable under the second paragraph 

of Article 14 or under Article 26 of the Convention will be borne by. 

The fees and costs incurred that are reimbursable under the second paragraph of Article 14
