ANSWER:
Gearbox objects to interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome
and seeks information that is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
Subject to the foregoing objections and without waiving them, the APA, and the APA Supplement speak for
themselves and demonstrate evidence of what assets transferred from 3DR to Gearbox as a result of that
transaction. The Duke Nukem assets that passed from 3DR to Gearbox include all assumed fictional
manes, trade names, registered and unregistered trademarks, service marks, and applications, all
registered and unregistered copyrights in both published and unpublished works and all know-how, trade
secrets, confidential and proprietary information, technical information, and all rights in internet websites
and domain names as described in Section 3.7 of the APA. Furthermore, the assets include all items
identified in Exhibit 2.1 including all elements and aspects utilized, incorporated in, embodied in or
otherwise related to the series of Duke Nukem games created by or for 3DR. The elements and aspects
include all Duke Nukem game characters, game design documents, story lines, story themes, plots, game
script/dialogue, character names and likenesses, and all trade marks and trade names related to the Duke
Nukem Universe including all items described in Exhibits 2.7(a)(ii)(A), 2.7(a)(ii)(A)(1), 2.7(a)(ii)(C) and
2.7(a)(ii)(C)(1), the assets identified in Exhibit 3.6, and net names described in Exhibit 3.7. For further
answer, all intellectual property in the Duke Nukem Universe was transferred and is too extensive to list
here. Also, this information is equally available to Apogee as Apogee is the Seller that actually created the
Duke Nukem materials that existed prior to the Closing Date and would also have knowledge about all
aspects of the Duke Nukem Universe and rights that existed at the time of their transfer to Gearbox under

in development at the time of the APA, including Duke Nukem Forever.
Stating further, Gearbox also identifies the Duke Nukem mark.

INTERROGATORY NO. 8:
Identify and describe your definition of the term non-AAA Platform
versions of the excluded games listed Exhibit 1, as that term is utilized in paragraph 5 of the APA
Supplement.
ANSWER:
Non-AAA platform versions of the excluded games listed in Exhibit 1 of the APA means
game versions not designed or developed for use in conjunction with Microsoft X-Box, Sony Play Station,
Nintendo, Wii, PC or Mac as well as certain HTML or other on-line versions.
INTERROGATORY NO. 9:
Identify all facts that you believe support your contention that
Defendants, or either of them, have infringed the Allegedly Infringed Marks. State the name, address and
phone number of each person with knowledge of such facts, including the facts on which they have
knowledge and identify each document which you allege support such facts.
ANSWER:
Gearbox objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it purports to require Gearbox to
marshal all of its evidence in support of its case in this interrogatory answer and therefore the request is
unduly burdensome and overbroad. Subject to these objections and without waiving them, the
Declarations of Scott Miller and George Broussard attached to the Complaint as Exhibit D outline
admissions that 3DRs actions breached the APA. Moreover, based on the information available to
Gearbox at this time, it appears that Interceptor was responsible for the Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction
teaser website Alloutofgum.com which made specific use of the Duke Nukem Universe intellectual property
GEARBOX SOFTWARE, LLCS SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWERS TO DEFENDANT APOGEE SOFTWARE, LTD.S FIRST SET
OF INTERROGATORIES Page 6 of 32

that was transferred to Gearbox under the APA, including the trademarked nuclear symbol. Further,
discovery in this matter has just begun and Gearbox has requested the depositions of 3DR and Interceptor
to better understand the extent to which these defendants have violated the terms of the APA and the
intellectual property rights Gearbox acquired under the APA. Gearbox will supplement this answer as
Defendants provide deposition testimony or other discovery responses identifying additional breaches or
infringement.

Stating further, 3DRs principalsScott Miller and George Broussardexecuted a sworn
declaration stating that Gearbox is the exclusive owner of the Duke Nukem IP and that the development
effort behind Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was both unauthorized and a material infringement of
Gearboxs intellectual-property rights. Additionally, Defendant Interceptors principalFrederik Schreiber
has already testified in this case that he was aware, as far back as 2010, that Gearbox owned the Duke
Nukem IP. See e.g., 2014-09-10 Deposition of Frederik Schreiber at 24:18-22, 118:5-14, 131:19-25; see
also Apogee 10969 (e-mail exchange between Schreiber and Putnam concerning Duke Nukem project
wherein Schreiber notes that Gearbox purchased the Duke Nukem IP). Moreover, 3DRs principal, Scott
Millerwhen approached by Schreiber in September 2010, seeking permission to work on a Duke Nukem
projecttold Schreiber that Gearbox owns the rights to the Duke Nukem IP and, moreover that he (Miller)

OF INTERROGATORIES Page 7 of 32

was not legally able to give Schreiber permission to work on a Duke-Nukem related project. Int-0088.
Moreover, Mike Nielsen, Principal of both 3DR and Interceptor, directly confirmed that Defendants had
flagrantly violated the APA and were infringing on Gearboxs rights to the Duke IP when he testified that the
development of Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was done by Interceptor entirely from scratch. August 8,
2014 Deposition of Mike Nielsen at 102:13-23, 125:7-20, 126:20-25. Moreover, in October, 2013 Scott
Miller and Frederik Schreiber discussed Interceptor and 3DRs interest in and need to buy back the Duke
Nukem IP from Gearbox, thereby confirming their awareness that Gearbox owns all rights to the Duke
Nukem IP and confirming their understanding that the APA transferred such rights. Int-0235.
Moreover, Frederik Schreiberprincipal of Defendant Interceptore-mailed Gearboxs former
counsel PJ Putnam in October 2010 and stated that he (Schreiber) was aware that Gearbox had purchased
the Duke Nukem IP. See Apogee 10969. Moreover, Schreiber has clearly testified in this case that
Gearbox owns Duke Nukem. Schreiber Depo. at 24:18-22, 118:5-14, 131:19-25. Additionally, in October,
2013 Scott Miller and Frederik Schreiber discussed Interceptor and 3DRs interest in and need to buy back
the Duke Nukem IP from Gearbox, thereby confirming their awareness that Gearbox owns all rights to the
Duke Nukem IP and confirming their understanding that the APA transferred such rights. Int-0235.
Additionally, after finding out that the teaser alloutofgum.com website had been identified on Gearbox
forums, Interceptors principals Schreiber and Ibrahimi stated that they should lay low, apparently
recognizing the fact that Gearbox would become aware of their infringement. Int-0235. Additionally,
Interceptors principals, Schreiber and Ibrahimiduring an August 2013 e-mail exchangediscussed their
desire to grow on our own IPnot on Duke [Nukem] which [Miller and 3DR] might never get back. Int0150. This conversation starkly illustrates Interceptors knowledge that 3DR had relinquished all rights in
the Duke IP to Gearbox as a result of executing the APA.
Additionally, after reviewing the videogame being created and marketed by Defendants, Duke
Nukem Mass Destruction, it is clear that Defendants wrongfully incorporated numerous protected and
protectable elements of Gearboxs Duke Nukem IP, thereby infringing same. Further and more specific
examples of Defendants infringement contained within the Mass Destruction title are contained in
Gearboxs response to Interrogatory No. 11.

INTERROGATORY NO. 10:

Identify all facts that you believe support your contention that
Defendants, or either of them, have infringed Plaintiffs Copyrights. State the name, address and phone
number of each person with knowledge of such facts, including the facts on which they have knowledge
and identify each document which you allege support such facts.

For each of the Allegedly Infringing Works, identify the material that

Plaintiffs Copyrights.
ANSWER:
Gearbox objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it purports to require Gearbox to
marshal all of its evidence in support of its case in this interrogatory answer and therefore the request is
unduly burdensome and overbroad. Subject to these objections and without waiving them, the
Declarations of Scott Miller and George Broussard attached to the Complaint as Exhibit D outline
admissions that 3DRs actions breached the APA. Moreover, based on the information available to
Gearbox at this time, it appears that Interceptor was responsible for the Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction

that was transferred to Gearbox under the APA, including copyrighted characters and the trademarked
nuclear symbol. Further, discovery in this matter has just begun and Gearbox has requested the

Stating further, based on the information currently available through discovery in this matter,
Defendants developed and created an infringing product, to be titled Duke Nukem Mass Destruction
which infringed numerous protected and protectable elements of the Duke Nukem IP and the Duke Nukem
Universe held exclusively by Gearbox, and which were fully transferred from Defendant Apogee/3DR to
Gearbox upon execution of the APA in 2010. By way of specific examples, but without limitations, Gearbox
asserts that Defendants Mass Destruction title contained at least the following material which directly
infringed Gearboxs Duke IP:

Further, taken as a whole, Defendants use of protected and protectable marks and expressive
audiovisual and/or artistic elements of Gearboxs Duke IP (specifically including but not limited to those
described above) in the Mass Destruction title has resulted in a product likely to confuse consumers as to
the source of the product.
Additionally, Defendants use of protected and protectable marks and expressive audiovisual
and/or artistic elements of Gearboxs Duke IP (specifically including but not limited to those described
above) in Mass Destruction has resulted in a product substantially similar to the Duke IP owned by
Gearbox that is akin to literal copying. In Defendants infringing work, the character Duke Nukeman
overly masculine and wisecracking protagonistfights off an invading army of evil aliens in an attempt to
save the world from peril or destruction at the hands of said aliens and the villainous Doctor Proton, a wellknown character from the Duke Nukem Universe who has appeared in the videogames Duke Nukem and
Duke Nukem Forever. When taken together and in the context of the Duke Nukem Universe and IP, these
copied elements clearly demonstrate infringement. Indeed, in each prior iteration of Duke Nukem games
specifically including but not limited to Duke Nukem, Duke Nukem II, Duke Nukem 3D, and Duke Nukem
Foreverthe character Duke Nukem has been charged with fighting off an evil alien army and saving the
world from certain peril or destruction.

ANSWER:
Gearbox objects to interrogatory on the grounds that it is overly broad, unduly burdensome
and seeks information that is not calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence and information
that is equally available to Defendant 3DR. Subject to the foregoing objections and without waiving the,
Randy Pitchford had numerous conversations with Scott Miller and George Broussard and it would be
unreasonable to recite them all here. Further Paul Putnam and Pat Heptig also had discussions about the
APA. Further, Gearbox objects to this interrogatory as it is not limited in any way to the subject matter of
this lawsuit. Mr. Pitchford has known and has previously worked with Mr. Miller and Mr. Broussard for
many years and it would be unreasonable to require Mr. Pitchford, for example, to recite every conversation

grounds that the request is overbroad and unduly burdensome and harassing and could require a
burdensome and detailed comparison of the pre-existing works and the pre-2010 Duke Nukem games to
those created afterwards. Gearbox acquired all copyrights to all pre-2010 games under the APA. It
therefore further objects to this request as burdensome and not calculated to lead to the discovery of

evidences such facts.
ANSWER:
Gearbox objects to this interrogatory on the grounds that it purports to require Gearbox to
marshal all of its evidence in support of its case in this interrogatory answer and therefore the request is
unduly burdensome and overbroad. Subject to these objections and without waiving them, the
Declarations of Scott Miller and George Broussard attached to the Complaint as Exhibit D outline
admissions that 3DRs actions breached the APA. Moreover, based on the information available to
Gearbox at this time, it appears that Interceptor was responsible for the Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction
teaser website Alloutofgum.com which made specific use of the Duke Nukem Universe intellectual property
that was transferred to Gearbox under the APA, including copyrighted characters and the trademarked
nuclear symbol. Further Mike Nielson acknowledged that there was indeed an Interceptor Duke Nukem
project partly funded under a Danish Government Accelerator Program and specifically acknowledged
that 3DR entered into some license agreement with another party, presumably Interceptor, based on the
exchanges, to work on Duke Nukem games without Gearboxs consent. Further, discovery in this matter
has just begun and Gearbox has requested the depositions of 3DR and Interceptor to better understand the
extent to which these defendants have violated the terms of the APA and the intellectual property rights

declaration stating that Gearbox is the exclusive owner of the Duke Nukem IP and that the development
effort behind Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was both unauthorized and a material infringement of
Gearboxs intellectual-property rights. Additionally, Defendant Interceptors principalFrederik Schreiber
has already testified in this case that he was aware, as far back as 2010, that Gearbox owned the Duke

Millerwhen approached by Schreiber in September 2010, seeking permission to work on a Duke Nukem
projecttold Schreiber that Gearbox owns the rights to the Duke Nukem IP and, moreover that he (Miller)
was not legally able to give Schreiber permission to work on a Duke-Nukem related project. Int-0088.
Moreover, Mike Nielsen, Principal of both 3DR and Interceptor, directly confirmed that Defendants had
flagrantly violated the APA and were infringing on Gearboxs rights to the Duke IP when he testified that the
development of Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was done by Interceptor entirely from scratch. August 8,
2014 Deposition of Mike Nielsen at 102:13-23, 125:7-20, 126:20-25. Moreover, in October, 2013 Scott

Nukem IP from Gearbox, thereby confirming their awareness that Gearbox owns all rights to the Duke
Nukem IP and confirming their understanding that the APA transferred such rights. Int-0235.
Moreover, Frederik Schreiberprincipal of Defendant Interceptore-mailed Gearboxs former
counsel PJ Putnam in October 2010 and stated that he (Schreiber) was aware that Gearbox had purchased
the Duke Nukem IP. See Apogee 10969. Moreover, Schreiber has clearly testified in this case that

Additionally, after finding out that the teaser alloutofgum.com website had been identified on Gearbox
forums, Interceptors principals Schreiber and Ibrahimi stated that they should lay low, apparently
recognizing the fact that Gearbox would become aware of their infringement. Int-0235. Additionally,

desire to grow on our own IPnot on Duke [Nukem] which [Miller and 3DR] might never get back. Int0150. This conversation starkly illustrates Interceptors knowledge that 3DR had relinquished all rights in
the Duke IP to Gearbox as a result of executing the APA.
Additionally, after reviewing the videogame being created and marketed by Defendants, Duke
Nukem Mass Destruction, it is clear that Defendants wrongfully incorporated numerous protected and

Nukem IP. See e.g., 2014-09-10 Deposition of Frederik Schreiber at 24:18-22, 118:5-14, 131:19-25; see
also Apogee 10969 (e-mail exchange between Schreiber and Putnam concerning Duke Nukem project
wherein Schreiber notes that Gearbox purchased the Duke Nukem IP). Moreover, 3DRs principal, Scott

Millerwhen approached by Schreiber in September 2010, seeking permission to work on a Duke Nukem
projecttold Schreiber that Gearbox owns the rights to the Duke Nukem IP and, moreover that he (Miller)
was not legally able to give Schreiber permission to work on a Duke-Nukem related project. Int-0088.
Moreover, Mike Nielsen, Principal of both 3DR and Interceptor, directly confirmed that Defendants had
flagrantly violated the APA and were infringing on Gearboxs rights to the Duke IP when he testified that the
development of Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction was done by Interceptor entirely from scratch. August 8,
2014 Deposition of Mike Nielsen at 102:13-23, 125:7-20, 126:20-25. Moreover, in October, 2013 Scott
Miller and Frederik Schreiber discussed Interceptor and 3DRs interest in and need to buy back the Duke
Nukem IP from Gearbox, thereby confirming their awareness that Gearbox owns all rights to the Duke
Nukem IP and confirming their understanding that the APA transferred such rights. Int-0235.
Moreover, Frederik Schreiberprincipal of Defendant Interceptore-mailed Gearboxs former
counsel PJ Putnam in October 2010 and stated that he (Schreiber) was aware that Gearbox had purchased
the Duke Nukem IP. See Apogee 10969. Moreover, Schreiber has clearly testified in this case that
Gearbox owns Duke Nukem. Schreiber Depo. at 24:18-22, 118:5-14, 131:19-25. Additionally, in October,
2013 Scott Miller and Frederik Schreiber discussed Interceptor and 3DRs interest in and need to buy back
the Duke Nukem IP from Gearbox, thereby confirming their awareness that Gearbox owns all rights to the
Duke Nukem IP and confirming their understanding that the APA transferred such rights. Int-0235.
Additionally, after finding out that the teaser alloutofgum.com website had been identified on Gearbox
forums, Interceptors principals Schreiber and Ibrahimi stated that they should lay low, apparently
recognizing the fact that Gearbox would become aware of their infringement. Int-0235. Additionally,
Interceptors principals, Schreiber and Ibrahimiduring an August 2013 e-mail exchangediscussed their
desire to grow on our own IPnot on Duke [Nukem] which [Miller and 3DR] might never get back. Int0150. This conversation starkly illustrates Interceptors knowledge that 3DR had relinquished all rights in
the Duke IP to Gearbox as a result of executing the APA.
Additionally, after reviewing the videogame being created and marketed by Defendants, Duke
Nukem Mass Destruction, it is clear that Defendants wrongfully incorporated numerous protected and
protectable elements of Gearboxs Duke Nukem IP, thereby infringing same. Further and more specific
examples of Defendants infringement contained within the Mass Destruction title are contained in
Gearboxs response to Interrogatory No. 11.
