`DECLARATION OF BRAD A. MYERS, PH.D.
`CONCERNING EXHIBIT 1003

`
`
`
`I, Brad A. Myers, hereby declare and state the following:
`
`1.
`
`I am a Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute in the
`
`School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I am a fellow of both
`
`the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the Association for
`
`Computing Machinery (ACM). I am the author or editor of more than 450
`
`publications, most of which are related to user interface design. I received my
`
`B.Sc. and my M.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1980, and
`
`my Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Toronto in 1987.
`
`2. Beginning in 1988, the ACM has held an annual conference called the
`
`ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (“the UIST
`
`Conference”).
`
`3.
`
`In 1995, I was General Chair of the UIST Conference, which was held
`
`in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
`
`4. Registration for the conference was open to anyone who was
`
`interested in attending, and is well-known to academics and computer science
`
`professionals to be one of the most impactful conferences related to computer user
`
`interfaces. Based on my records, approximately 207 people attended the
`
`conference. Attendees included professionals in the computer science industry,
`
`academics, students, and researchers.

`
`
`
`5. Numerous papers were presented at the 1995 UIST Conference.
`
`Those papers were published in a bound volume that was distributed to all UIST
`
`Conference attendees in 1995. The bound volume is entitled “Proceedings of the
`
`ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology” (1995 UIST
`
`Proceedings Volume). I have a copy of the 1995 UIST Proceedings Volume,
`
`which I obtained while attending the UIST Conference in 1995. The 1995 UIST
`
`Proceedings Volume was also available for sale immediately after the conference
`
`from ACM publishers, and could be ordered by phone or physical mail. Further,
`
`the 1995 UIST Proceedings Volume was distributed by physical mail in 1995 to
`
`libraries and individuals who had a subscription to the ACM proceedings series.
`
`6. One of the papers that was included in the 1995 UIST Proceedings
`
`Volume was entitled “High-Latency, Low-Bandwidth Windowing in the Jupiter
`
`Collaboration System,” and was written by David Nichols, Pavel Curtis, Michael
`
`Dixon, and John Lamping (“the Nichols Article”).
`
`7.
`
`I have reviewed the document bearing the title Exhibit 1003, which I
`
`understand to have been submitted to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in
`
`IPR2016-00850 and IPR2016-00851. Exhibit 1003 is a photocopy of the Nichols
`
`Article that appeared in the 1995 UIST Proceedings Volume that was distributed
`
`to all UIST Conference attendees in 1995.

`
`
`
`8. There are several dates which appear in Exhibit 1003, all of which are
`
`from 1995 and reflect that the conference proceedings were published and
`
`distributed in 1995. The date range “November 14-17, 1995,” at the bottom of
`
`each page of the article, is when the conference was held. As I mentioned above,
`
`copies of the proceedings including this paper were distributed at the conference
`
`itself. Also at the bottom of each page is the text “UIST ’95,” which further
`
`reflects that this paper was presented at the 1995 UIST Conference. At the bottom
`
`of the first column of text on the first page, there is a copyright date of 1995, and
`
`“UIST 95” appears there. Each of these dates is consistent with my understanding
`
`and recollection that the Nichols Article was available to members of the public in
`
`1995.
`
`9.
`
`I understand that this declaration will be filed as evidence in a
`
`contested case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent
`
`and Trademark Office. I also understand that I may be subject to cross-
`
`examination concerning this declaration, and I will appear for cross-examination, if
`
`required of me, during the time allotted for cross-examination.
`
`10.
`
`I hereby declare that all of the statements made herein of my own
`
`knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief are
`
`believed to be true; and further that these statements were made with knowledge
