Case2:10-cv-07678-JFW-DTB Document 121 Filed 11/02/11 Page3of7 Page ID<br />

#:2549<br />

According to the October 18, 1999 quotation:<br />

Exhibit 16.<br />

Prototype fees* are charged for the management and application of Futurelogic's<br />

printer technology including, but not limited to, printer design know-how, circuit<br />

designs, firmware source code, software source code, mechanical designs and fonts<br />

("Intellectual Property") to meet a specific Customer (issuer of fees) requirement.<br />

Consideration for these services entitles the Customer to the materials listed in the<br />

description column under "Delivery", and does not include Intellectual Property rights.<br />

*Fees include the tasks of design, to Customer's specifications of form and function,<br />

and prototype support necessary during the prototype evaluation phase ....<br />

Coca-Cola and its bottling company, Coca-Cola Enterprises, agreed to the terms of<br />

FutureLogic's product quotation, and in March or April of 2000, twenty-four PSA-66-VM printers<br />

were delivered to, and paid for, by Coca-Cola. In addition to paying $850 for each of the twenty-<br />

four printers delivered, Coca-Cola paid FutureLogic for the agreed-upon prototype fees. According<br />

to Mark Meyerhofer, the prototype fees merely allowed FutureLogic to recoup a portion of its<br />

development costs and did not result in a profit to FutureLogic.<br />

After the printers were delivered, Scott Shimmin of FutureLogic visited Coca-Cola<br />

Enterprises and assisted Coca-Cola personnel in the installation of the printers in Coca-Cola's<br />

vending machines. He also trained Coca-Cola personnel in how to load coupon data into the<br />

printers and how to print the coupons. Coca-Cola then placed the vending machines with the<br />

printers at selected locations throughout Cincinnati, Ohio for field tests to validate the "continuous<br />

printing ability of the coupon printer in the Marketing Vender" and to determine whether and how<br />

the printers would function under actual vending conditions. See Exhibit 29. Before the field tests<br />

commenced, Simmy Ahluwalia, a Coca-Cola representative, developed "test criteria that [he]<br />

want[ed] to expose the printer to[]" and asked FutureLogic for feedback. See id. The test criteria<br />

developed by Mr. Ahluwalia included subjecting the printer to various environmental conditions<br />

including, for example, different humidity levels and voltage variations. Scott Shimmin of<br />

FutureLogic made minor suggestions with respect to Coca-Cola's test criteria.<br />

During Coca-Cola's field testing of the PSA-66-VM printers, FutureLogic received periodic<br />

reports from Coca-Cola on the progress of the field tests and assisted in resolving various issues<br />

that Coca-Cola encountered during the field tests. When Coca-Cola began experiencing<br />

performance problems with the printers, FutureLogic provided Coca-Cola with a detailed form and<br />

requested Coca-Cola to use this form to identify any problems with the printers and to describe any<br />

actions taken by Coca Cola to successfully repair the printers. During the field tests, Coca-Cola<br />

returned two or three printers, which could not be repaired in the field, for replacement or repair by<br />

FutureLogic.<br />

Although Coca-Cola ultimately decided not to purchase any additional printers, Coca-Cola<br />

did not return the PSA-66-VM printers purchased from FutureLogic.<br />
