`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 495 Filed 03/08/18 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 42936
`
`1.
`
`I am currently a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (“M.I.T.”) where I
`
`am a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Electrical
`
`Engineering and Computer Science Department.
`
`2.
`
`I have been retained on behalf of Defendants Activision Blizzard, Inc., Electronic Arts Inc.,
`
`Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., 2K Sports, Inc., and Rockstar Games, Inc. to provide my
`
`expert opinions about the validity of certain patent claims found in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,701,344;
`
`6,829,634; 6,714,966; 6,732,147; and 6,910,069.
`
`3.
`
`I am being compensated at my standard rate of
`
`per hour for my services. I have no
`
`financial interest in the outcome of these litigations between Defendants and Acceleration Bay
`
`LLC.
`
`4.
`
`Appendix A is my Curriculum Vitae and my Faculty Personnel Record. I provide a
`
`summary of certain experience that I have relevant to the technical field of the Asserted Patents in
`
`paragraphs 3 to 11 of my Expert Report Regarding Invalidity of Certain Claims From U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. 6,701,344, 6,714,966, 6,829,634, 6,910,069, 6,732,147, and 6,920,497 (“Opening Report”)
`
`(Ex. A).
`
`5.
`
`Appendix B lists the testimony that I have provided in the last four years and my
`
`compensation. The opinions provided in this declaration are my own and my compensation does
`
`not depend in any way on the substance of my opinions.
`
`6.
`
`I submit this declaration in support of Defendants’ Opposition to Acceleration Bay’s
`
`Motions for Summary Judgment.
`
`7.
`
`Attached to Defendants’ Opposition to Acceleration Bay’s Motion for Summary Judgment
`
`Brief are true and correct excerpts of my (a) Expert Report Regarding Invalidity of Certain Claims
`
`From U.S. Patent Nos. 6,701,344, 6,714,966, 6,829,634, 6,910,069, 6,732,147, and 6,920,497

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 495 Filed 03/08/18 Page 3 of 5 PageID #: 42937
`
`(“Opening Report”) (Ex. A), and (b) Reply Expert Report Regarding Invalidity of Certain Claims
`
`From U.S. Patent Nos. 6,701,344, 6,714,966, 6,829,634, 6,910,069, 6,732,147, and 6,920,497
`
`(“Reply Report”) (Ex. B). In these reports, I provided analysis for why the ’497 patent is invalid
`
`in view of the prior art. The issues Plaintiff raises in its motion for summary judgment, however,
`
`do not implicate the analysis I rendered in my reports. Therefore, I do not include those sections
`
`in Exhibits A and B.1
`
`8.
`
`I also understand that Defendants will submit a copy of its summary judgment papers with
`
`hyperlinks linking to complete true and accurate copies of the above reports.
`
`9.
`
`I incorporate by reference the opinions set forth in my expert reports in the above
`
`referenced matters, and declare to their contents, as if fully set forth herein.
`
`10.
`
`The statements and opinions set forth in in Exhibits A and B are true and accurate based
`
`on my personal knowledge and professional experience. Exhibits A and B also accurately reflect
`
`the facts and circumstances described therein as I understand them.
`
`11.
`
`I expect to testify at trial in these actions regarding the opinions set forth in my expert
`
`reports, as well as on any other issues for which I have submitted or will submit an expert report
`
`in this action if asked to do so by counsel for Defendants.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that this
`
`declaration is true, complete, and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I further acknowledge that
`
`willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both under 18
`
`U.S.C. § 1001.
`
`
`1 I note that I also submitted a supplemental expert report due to the issuance of claim construction
`opinions that issued after I served my expert reports. I also do not include the supplemental report
`because the issues Plaintiff raises in its summary judgment brief do not implicate the opinions I
`rendered in my supplemental report.
