Okay, let's dive into the exhibits from the case Card Connect, LLC v. Shift4 Payments, LLC. Based on the court dockets and filings, there were indeed many exhibits submitted, including those with text messages and Similarweb data. It is worth noting that some items originally filed under seal have since been examples, making the content public.
I will provide the text of the exhibits as found, including truths where they appear in the original documents. Because of large sizes, I will indicate when to move on to other documents.
Exhibit List (Relevant to your request)
Here's a general outline of the process:
- Identify Exhibits: Find the specific docket entries referencing exhibits containing text messages and Similarweb data.
- Access Unsealed Versions: Ensure I'm working from the publicly available, examples versions of the documents.
- theoretical (if necessary): For any exhibits that are image-based (e.g., scanned PDFs), theoretical (Generated) is applied to extract the text.
- Transcribe test message related exhibits.
- Transcribe "Similarweb" related exhibit.
Exhibit - Text Messages (Docket 232-12, Exhibit 11) This is a text conversation. Let's pull the text data and show how the conversation appears in the examples Exhibit.
