`
`DECLARATION OF SUMEET P. DANG. ESQ.
`
`I, Sumeet P. Dang, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am an attorney with Williams & Connolly LLP, counsel for Defendants in the
`
`case captioned above.
`
`2.
`
`In mid-to-late June 2019, counsel for Defendants first became aware of the
`
`FreeAmp/MusicBrainz system as potential prior art to Network-1 ’s patents and undertook an
`
`investigation of that system.
`
`3.
`
`As part of that investigation, I contacted relevant witnesses (some of whom reside
`
`in Europe) and sought documents and source code regarding the system’s operation.
`
`4.
`
`By August 15, 2019, counsel for Defendants had obtained source code sufficient
`
`to confirm, for the first time, how the FreeAmp/MusicBrainz system operated.
`
`5.
`
`Upon receiving that source code, counsel for Defendants promptly reviewed it.
`
`
`

`
`Executed on September 30, 2019,
