`Thank you again for your help providing drafts of the 802.11 standard. Can we schedule a time to talk briefly sometime
`in the near future? The reason for the call is that we will need to authenticate the drafts of the 802.11 standard you
`provided.
`I think the easiest way to go about this would be to discuss some details on a phone call. Then, I would send
`you a declaration to sign that summarizes what we discussed. You would verify that the declaration is accurate, and
`send it back signed. The declaration would explain, for example, where the files were stored at the IEEE and that you
`provided those files to me.
`
`I apologize for the need to impose further.

`
`Mr. Stephens,
`
`We are seeking drafts of the 802.11 standard from before June 1997. You exchanged e—mails with my colleague Erenia
`Dominguez on this topic Iast month {quoted below). You explained that you have some password-protected zip files
`containing the drafts, but that you do not have the passwords for these zip files. You also mentioned that IEEE-SA needs
`to approve distributing the drafts and/or passwords for the drafts.
`
`We recently contacted Vic Hayes, who chaired the IEEE 802.11 working group.
`
`It looks like he can probably locate the
`
`REMBRANDT EXHIBIT 2003
`
`SAM 1007102

`REMBRANDT EXHIBIT 2003
`
`
`
`missing passwords. This leaves the issue of permission from IEEE-SA. Will the lEEE-SA allow Vic Hayes (or anyone else)
`to disclose the drafts andlor passwords for the drafts to us?
`
`As a reminder, we have no interest in disseminating the drafts. We are seeking them solely in order to help us defend
`technology companies from allegations that they infringe a patent when they practice a standard.
`I would be happy to
`discuss any concerns with you or anyone else at the IEEE.

`
`Dear Mr. Stephens,
`
`Thank you for your response. We are looking for these drafts of the 802.11 standard because a patent holding company
`(which makes no products) has asserted that technology companies infringe its patent whenever they follow IEEE
`wireless communications standards. The technology in the patent is not new. The IEEE 802.11 working group invented
`the technology first. Unfortunately, we expect the patent holding company to claim that the 802.11-1997 standard that
`was approved on June 26, 1997 was a copy of its technology instead of the other way around. We are looking for one of
`the drafts of this standard that was circulated before June 7, 1997 in order to show that the wireless communications
`technology was already known at this time.
`
`In response to your questions:
`
`1) We expect the latest draft that is available to be the most useful so long as it is dated and was distributed prior to
`June 7, 1997. However, based on the information we have seen, we expect the relevant portions of the standard to be
`unchanged in the 1996 drafts (such as the draft 3.0), and possibly even earlier. Therefore, it would be most helpful if
`you could provide each of the drafts you have from the 1996—1997 tin'lefrarne.

`2) We understand that the drafts are in password-protected zip files.

`3) As indicated in the first paragraph, we are seeking the draft in order to help defend technology companies against
`allegations that they infringe a patent by following a current IEEE standard. We expect the drafts to help show that the
`relevant technology was known before it was patented.
`
`Thanks in advance for your help.

`Hello Erenia,
`
`There are three parts to my answer:
`1. Do i have the draft you are looking for?
`2. Can I access this draft?
`
`3. Can I give it to you.
`
`We have some drafts. Don’t forget, drafts are a transient phenomenon that have no relevance to the community that
`produced it after publication. Going back that far, the group was immature and its procedures for how and where to
`store information somewhat ad—hoc. Also the technology for doing so was immature.
`
`So i don’t know if I have the draft you are looking for. Let me know which specific document you are looking for. And,
`no,
`I don't have a convenient list of what draft was published at what time for that era.
`
`Next question is whether I can access the documents. Early drafts were distributed in password protected zip files.
