`

`
`

`
`
`
`
`Henderson, Farabow,1. I am an attorney at the law firm of Finnegan,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`

`
`
`2. I provide this Declaration in connection with the above-identified
`

`
`
`NT Fileentitled "Windows 3. Exhibit 1021 is a copy of a webpage
`
`
`
`
`
`System Internals: A Developer's Guide" from www.oreilly.com. On January 22,
`
`
`
`2019, I visited the Internet Archive at http://web.archive.org/ and entered the URL
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`http://www.oreilly.com:80/catalog/wininternals/
`
`in the search box at the top of the
`
`
`
`screen. I clicked the entry on the timeline from February 12, 1998, which resulted
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`in a URL of
`
`
`
`http://web.archive.org/web/19980212230645/http:/www.oreilly.eom:80/catalog/wi
`
`
`
`
`
`ninternals/. I then printed that page. Exhibit 1021 demonstrates that Windows NT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`File System Internals: A Developer's Guide (Exhibit 1009 to the Petition) was
`
`
`
`available as of September 1997.
`
`
`
`
`4. Exhibit
`
`
`
`
`
`1022 is a paper entitled "File system usage in Windows NT
`
`
`
`4.0" by Werner Vogels. On January 22, 2019, I visited
`
`
`
`
`https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=319158
`
`
`(a copy of which is included as Exhibit
`

`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,536,524
`
`
`
`Declaration of Christopher C. Johns
`
`
`1023) and purchased a copy of this paper from the ACM Digital Library. Page 12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`of Exhibit 1022 lists Exhibit 1009 (item [12]) as being published in September
`
`
`
`
`1997. This document thus also demonstrates that Exhibit 1009 was available as of
`
`September 1997.
`5. I declare that all statements made herein of my knowledge are true,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true, and
`
`
`
`that these statements were made with the knowledge that willful false statements
`
`
`and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under
`
`
`
`Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.
`
`
`
`
`Executed on this 25th day of January 2019, in Washington, DC.
