RAMBUS’S SUBMISSION OF A REVISED TRIAL WITNESS LIST


CASE NOS. 05-00334, 05-02298
Case 5:05-cv-00334-RMW Document 2197 Filed 09/15/2008 Page 2 of 8

1 At the September 11, 2008 Pretrial Conference, Samsung notified the Court that it
2 was dismissing with prejudice certain of its allegations, claims, and defenses related to JEDEC,
3 RDRAM license negotiations, and Neil Steinberg and that it would be filing a pleading with the
4 Court setting forth specifically what was being dismissed with prejudice. Rambus agreed that it
5 would provide a revised trial witness list within twenty-four hours of Samsung filing this pleading
6 setting forth with specificity what it was dismissing with prejudice.
7 Samsung has not yet filed this pleading. In fact, recent communications with
8 Samsung’s counsel suggest that Samsung is now refusing to do so. As a consequence, at the
9 September 15, 2008 Pretrial Conference, Rambus will request that the Court require Samsung to
10 file a formal pleading setting forth with specificity the allegations, claims, and defenses that it is
11 dismissing with prejudice. Such a pleading is necessary so that not only this Court, but other
12 courts, will have a clear record of what has been dismissed with prejudice and of what is being
13 tried beginning next week. Rambus, as well, needs to know for certain what allegations, claims
14 and defenses remain in this case and have not been dismissed with prejudice.
15 In the meantime, Rambus does not wish to do anything that might delay the case
16 from proceeding to trial on September 22, 2008. To that end, Rambus attaches as Exhibit B a
17 revised trial witness list that is intended to modify Rambus’s trial witness list previously filed
18 with the Court as Exhibit B to the August 27, 2008 Joint Pretrial Statement. The submission of
19 this revised witness list is based on Rambus’s assumption that Samsung’s allegations, claims, and
20 defenses related to JEDEC, RDRAM license negotiations, and Neil Steinberg have all been
21 dismissed with prejudice and that a pleading will be filed by Samsung memorializing these
22 dismissals.
23 Rambus has reduced its live trial witness list as much as possible. Rambus has
24 reduced its “will call” witnesses from nine to seven, and has reduced its “may call” witnesses
25 from twenty-four to twelve. Further, Rambus notes that several of its witnesses are designated for
26 topics related to Rambus’s preservation, collection, and production of documents. Specifically,
27 James Berry, Sean Cunningham, Joel Karp, Carolyn Hoecker Luedtke, and Lester Vincent are all
28 designated to respond, if necessary, to allegations Samsung might make that Rambus destroyed

1 particular documents or types of documents. At this date, Samsung has not articulated with any
2 specificity the documents or categories of documents that it alleges Rambus destroyed. Rambus
3 presumes that Samsung will attempt to make such a showing prior to the close evidence in
4 Samsung’s case, and Rambus has designated these witnesses to allow Rambus to respond to those
5 allegations. If Samsung would inform Rambus and the Court in advance of trial what documents
6 and/or categories of documents it alleges Rambus destroyed, then Rambus may be able to further
7 narrow its “may call” witness list. Alternatively, if Samsung’s allegations of what documents
8 were allegedly destroyed is identical to Hynix’s allegations at the 2005 unclean hands trial, then
9 similarly Rambus should be able to further narrow its “may call” witness list.
