`
`Hughes, Exh. 1067, p. 1
`
`

`

`I, Aaron Thompson, declare:
`
`1.
`
`I am currently employed by Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr
`
`LLP as a Senior Associate. I have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein,
`
`and, if called to testify in person, could and would testify competently thereto. I
`
`have been involved with the pending district court case captioned California
`
`Institute of Technology v. Hughes Communications, Inc. et al., No. 13-CV-07245
`
`(CACD) (the “Caltech litigation”) since at least February 10, 2014 on behalf of
`
`Hughes Network System, LLC and Hughes Communications, Inc. (“Hughes”).
`
`2.
`
`I am over the age of 18, have never been convicted of a felony or
`
`crime of moral turpitude and am legally competent to make this declaration.
`
`3.
`
`On January 13, 2015, the California Institute of Technology produced,
`
`for the first time, an email dated December 8, 1999 from Dr. Brendan Frey to Dr.
`
`Dariush Divsalar. That email was reproduced in the Caltech Litigation in the
`
`Expert Report of Dr. Brendan Frey at page 52, lines 1 to 11. Neither Hughes nor
`
`counsel for Hughes had possession of that email or awareness of its existence prior
`
`Caltech’s production of that email on January 13, 2015.
`
`4.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own
`
`knowledge are true and that all statements made on information or belief are
`
`believed to be true; and further that these statements were made with the
`
`knowledge that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine
`
`
`
`2
`
`Hughes, Exh. 1067, p. 2
`
`

`

`or imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code
`
`and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the results of these
`
`proceedings.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Dated: May 27, 2015
