`
`
`
`I am an attorney admitted to practice in the Northern District of California. I represent
`
`Defendant Apple, Inc. in the above captioned matter. This declaration is accurate to the best of
`
`my knowledge. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated below. I am of sound mind and
`
`capable of testifying to the facts below.
`1.
`
`Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of Plaintiffs’ October 15,
`
`2015 “DISCLOSURE OF ASSERTED CLAIMS AND INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`RELATING TO U.S. PATENT NOS. 6,148,081, 6,233,736, 7,055,169, 7,644,429, AND

`
`in response to the interrogatories that Defendant sent to Plaintiffs on November 23, 2015. For the

`
`on Plaintiffs on December 7, 2015. For the convenience of the Court, I removed irrelevant pages,
`
`whited out irrelevant passages on relevant pages, and highlighted prior art disclosures that would
`
`be possibly be predated if Plaintiffs were allowed to change their invention dates.
`4.
`
`Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a true and correct copy of a letter sent by
`
`Defendant to Plaintiffs on February 2, 2016.

`Attached hereto as Exhibit 6 is a true and correct copy of a letter from Defendants

`
`served in this action on December 23, 2015, in response to requests for production that Defendant
`
`served on Plaintiffs on November 23, 2015. For the convenience of the Court, I deleted irrelevant
`
`pages, whited out irrelevant portions on relevant pages, and highlighted some of the relevant
`
`passages.

`
`15, 2015.
`12.
`
`In this action, Plaintiffs produced the file history for the ’736 Patent on October
`
`In order to formulate its invalidity defenses, Apple has searched for and evaluated
`
`a large body of prior art, including prior art dated after OpenTV’s new priority dates. The
`
`majority of the work required to evaluate possible prior art stems from the fact that many of the
`
`terms used in the asserted claims are ambiguous. Apple’s agreed and disputed constructions are,
`
`in part, oriented toward clarifying whether the scope of the asserted claims extends to what is
`
`disclosed by the prior art. If certain of Apple’s prior art are no longer relevant to this action
`
`(because they are predated by the asserted patents), then Apple will have wasted considerable
`
`time and effort. And if certain key prior art is no longer available, Apple may have to
