`
`My name is Louise Clarke and I am Deputy Superintendent of the Manuscripts Reading
`
`Room at Cambridge University Library (CUL).
`
`I have worked at CUL since 1988, and have
`
`been responsible for processing and cataloguing theses since September 2001.
`
`I was recently contacted by David Nickless, a solicitor with King & Wood Mallesons LLP in
`London.
`I was asked whether I could verify the dates on which the following four theses
`
`specified below were added to the CUL catalogue.
`
`I understand that this is an issue in court
`
`proceedings in the United States.

`
`Tan, Kim Leong, Dynamic Holography Using Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal on Silicon
`
`Spatial Light Modulators (February 1999)
`
`Parker, Michael Charles, Dynamic Holograms for Wavelength Division Multiplexing
`
`(November 1996)
`
`- Warr, Stephen Thomas, Free-Space Switching for Optical Fibre Networks (July 1996)
`
`0 Cohen, Adam David, Spatial Light Modulator Technologies forWDM (April 1998)
`
`(together, “the Theses”).
`
`I reviewed the catalogue entries for each of the Theses and was able to see that the Theses
`
`were approved (by the Board of Graduate Studies) on the following dates:

`
`-
`
`Tan, K.L. — 15 June 1999 (author/title published in the Cambridge University Reporter
`
`on Wednesday 30 June 1999)
`
`Parker, M.C. — 18 March 1997 (author/title published in the Cambridge University
`
`Reporter on Wednesday 23 April 1997)
`
`- Warr, S.T. — 10 December 1996 (author/title published in the Cambridge University
`
`Reporter on Wednesday 15 January 1997)
`0 Cohen, A.D. — 24 July 1998 (author/title published in the Cambridge University
`
`Reporter on Wednesday 5 August 1998)
`
`Unfortunately, the CUL catalogue was updated from an in-house database to the Voyager
`Library Management System in 2002 and, as a result, for catalogue items which pre-date
`2002 we are unable to ascertain from our records the exact date on which they were added to
`
`the CUL catalogue. I cannot ascertain the exact date on which the Theses were added to the
`catalogue.
