`
`
`DECLARATION OF LOUIS J. HOFFMAN IN SUPPORT OF
`PLAINTIFF ALMONDNET’S
`RESPONSE TO OATH HOLDINGS’S MOTION TO DISMISS
`
`I, Louis J. Hoffman, do hereby declare:
`
`1.
`
`I am a partner with the law firm of Louis J. Hoffman, P.C. (also known as
`
`Hoffman Patent Firm). I am an attorney in good standing licensed to practice law in the
`
`State of Arizona, and admitted to practice pro hac vice in the United States District Court
`
`for the District of Delaware as counsel to plaintiff AlmondNet, Inc. in this action.
`
`2.
`
`I am also admitted to practice pro hac vice in the United States District
`
`Court for the Eastern District of New York, No. 16-cv-01557-ILG-SMG, as counsel to
`
`the plaintiffs AlmondNet, Inc., Datonics, LLC and Intent IQ, LLC (“the New York
`
`action”). I make this declaration upon my own personal knowledge.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of the transcript of a
`
`hearing on September 29, 2016, at which I appeared for oral argument on behalf of
`
`plaintiff on Yahoo’s motion to dismiss the New York action.
`
`4.
`
`Attached as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy of the public version of
`
`two infringement charts that I served on Yahoo in April 2017 the New York action as
`
`AlmondNet’s contentions with respect to certain patents that are at issue in the New York
`
`action and parents to the MPS and OTA patents in suit in this Delaware case. Although
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-00943-RGA Document 15 Filed 09/14/18 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 171
`
`the patents are not precisely the same, in that they have different claims, each of the
`
`patents in suit are related to the respective parent patents, including sharing common
`
`written specifications and having overlap of many claim elements. AlmondNet also
`
`served supplemental infringement contentions for the MPS and OTA patents in suit
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed
`
`this 14th day of September, 2018, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
