`
`I, H. Annita Zhong, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am more than twenty-one years of age, am competent to present this
`
`affidavit, and have personal knowledge of the facts set forth herein.
`

`
`This affidavit is given in support of the Patent Owner Fundamental
`
`Innovation Systems International LLC's Opposition to Petitioner's Motion to
`
`Retroactively Add a Real Party-in-Interest.

`
`On or about December 8, 2018, I accessed www.ztetx.com in China.
`
`A screen shot of the web site is as follows:
`

`
`I clicked on the "Select your country" link in the upper right corner of
`
`the web page and selected "United States – English" in the resulting pop-up screen,
`
`as shown in the screen capture below:

`
`I was subsequently redirected to www.zteusa.com, as shown in the
`
`
`
`screen capture below:
`
`
`I then returned to www.ztetx.com and clicked on the "About Us" tab
`
`6.
`
`on the page. This led me to the web page captured below with an url address,

`
`www.ztetx.com/about/zte_corporation/, which appears to describe ZTE
`
`Corporation and ZTE brand as a whole.
`
`7.
`
`I then clicked on the "News" tab at the www.ztetx.com site, and this
`
`led to the page as captured below. The news page (www.ztetx.com/news/news)
`
`again appear to relate to ZTE Corporation in general rather than ZTE (TX), Inc.
`
`specifically.
