`
`I am counsel of record for the Patent Owner in this proceeding,
`
`admitted pro hac vice, and the related litigation involving the
`
`challenged patent, LEGO System A/S v. Rubicon Communications, LP
`
`dba Smallworks and Smallworks, LLC, No. 3:15-cv-00823 (D. Conn.
`
`filed May 29, 2015) (the “Connecticut litigation”).
`
`I make all statements in this declaration based upon my own personal
`
`knowledge in support of the Patent Owner’s Opposition to the Motion
`
`to Correct.
`
`After months of discovery in the Connecticut litigation, the Patent
`
`Owner is not fully aware of the Petitioner’s corporate transactions and
`
`identity. As a result, the parties have been and continue to be in
`
`discovery disputes regarding Rubicon Communications, LP’s
`
`corporate transactions and identities. On December 5, 2016, I
`
`deposed James W. Thompson in connection with the Connecticut
`
`litigation. Mr. Thompson was designated by Rubicon
`
`Communications LP and Smallworks LLC as their corporate
`
`representative pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) on, among others,
