`
`I, Cheolwoo Ahn,hereby declare as follows:

`De
`
`3:
`
`Mynameis Cheolwoo Ahn.
`
`I am overthe age of 18, of sound mind, and competenttotestify.
`
`I am an employee of Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”) in Seoul, South
`
`Korea.
`
`I have worked at Samsung since 2001. My currenttitle is Principal Engineer.
`
`4.
`
`Myresponsibilities include the negotiation and agreementoflicensing agreements
`
`related to patents and otherintellectual property.
`
`I have been involved in several patent licensing
`
`negotiations and continue to be involvedin such activities on behalf of Samsung.
`
`3:
`
`I have reviewed the Settlement and Patent License Agreement(the “Samsung-
`
`Arendi Agreement”) between Samsung and Arendi S.A.R.L. (“Arendi’’).
`
`I understandthatit is
`
`marked as Exhibit PX-77 in the above-captionedcase.
`
`6.
`
`The Samsung-Arendi Agreementcontains highly confidential business
`
`information including financial terms and competitive materials, such that Samsung would be

`Case 1:13-cv-00919-JLH Document 599 Filed 08/14/23 Page 2 of 4 PageID #: 60576
`
`competitively disadvantaged from its disclosure. This informationis not available to the public,
`
`and Section 8.2 of the Samsung-Arendi Agreement expressly states that its contents are to
`
`remain confidential.
`
`i
`
`In the ordinary course of business, Samsung expendssignificant resources to
`
`maintain documents such as the Samsung-Arendi Agreementsecurely and confidentially on
`
`secure Computer systemsthat are not accessible to the public or third parties.
`
`8.
`
`Samsunghasaninterest in keeping the information in the Samsung-Arendi
`
`Agreementconfidential, at least because that information relates to the terms on whichitis
`
`willingto settle litigation, and it would be seriously harmedif the information were disclosed to
`
`the public. Disclosure of the information in the Samsung Agreement wouldirreversibly harm
`
`Samsung as it would impair Samsung’s ability to negotiate future favorable settlements and
`
`patent licenses and would makefuture litigants and/or licensors aware of the terms on which
`
`Samsungpreviouslyagreed to settlement and licensing to Samsung’s detriment.
`
`9.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury underthe laws of the United States of America
`
`that the foregoingis true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
