TPLF-Related Discovery Order in Correct Transmission Case Reveals a Funder Not Disclosed Under Local Rules

May 5, 2025

Northern District of California Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim has ordered Correct Transmission LLC (CT) to produce to defendant Juniper Networks litigation funding agreements (and amendments thereto). The court ruled that the materials are relevant to the potential biases of witnesses Jeremy Pitcock, CT’s manager and sole owner, and Ishak Tamir, the CEO and cofounder of Orckit Communications (the original source of the patents-in-suit) as well as “the beneficiary of funds from licensing and enforcement” of those patents. Earlier, the parties here filed more than one “Joint Case Management Statement” in which they attested that “[e]ach party has filed the “Certification of Interested Entities or Persons” required by Civil Local Rule 3-15 and there is no such interest to report”. That attestation, signed for CT by former litigation counsel Reichmann Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP, appears not to have been correct, given the revelations in Judge Kim’s order.
