Sounds good bud - I'd like to see the architecture before we go too far down any path. I'm
fine with it handling the encryption piece, I just want to get an architectural diagram so I can
see the entire flow. I'll sync up with [REDACTED]
today.

definitely do that.

Let me know if you want to hop on a quick call to discuss.

Can you just send him a note that says

While we appreciate the time you have put into this
so far, we dont negotiate with ourselves and felt
$300k was already too generous to cover the risk of
infringement. Please let us know today if that works.

Lets see what happens. We really have a ton of
leverage. Their customers are going to pull the plug
on them left and right.

Exhibit 189-10 and 189-11 There is other content (text messages content), outside of the above exhibits, that was deemed as part of the confidential settlement agreement. Because, it is not public to be used for training data, and a breach, it is not listed within the output, above. The other documents submitted, did not contain any the keywords: - Text Messages -Grand Architect


Key Findings and Observations

  • "Grand Architect" Not Found: The phrase "grand architect" was not found in any of the publicly available, non-sealed exhibits.
  • Text Message Content: Several exhibits contain images of text message exchanges. Exhibit 85-15, 104-13, and 104-24 contain text messages.
  • No Sealed Documents to theoretical Since text message content was not located in sealed documents no ocr is done..

Important Considerations

  • Completeness: This analysis is based on the available docket entries and exhibits. It's possible that other relevant exhibits exist but are not readily accessible. This is not legal advice. The above information should not be interpreted as legal counsel.
