`Guardian Alliance Technologies, Inc. v. Miller
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. Unassigned
`Patent 10,043,188
`
`Attorney Docket No. 2993.003
`
`I, Kingsley Klosson, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`From March 2003 to present, I have served as Principal of Essential
`
`Software Development, LLC. During that time, my responsibilities have generally
`
`included developing and delivering business software solutions, most notably for
`
`the management of Combined Federal Campaign operations and law enforcement
`
`background investigations supporting sofiware.
`
`2.
`
`I have a Bachelor of Business Administration from National
`
`University San Diego.
`
`3.
`
`I am a self-taught developer and have brought two major products to
`
`the marketplace, both of which are in service and profitable.
`
`4.
`
`I have been familiar with and worked in the area of law enforcement
`
`background investigation since 2005.
`
`5.
`
`At that time, myself, and others who worked in the area of law
`
`enforcement background investigation, were looking for a way to combine and
`
`automate the then-current methods, techniques, and systems for conducting law
`
`enforcement background investigations.
`
`6.
`
`As a result, I began developing one of my products, the Peace Officer
`
`Background Investigation Tracking System (“POBITS”), in 2005 and developed a
`
`web—based version of the product in 2008, which went live in 2010.

`
`7.
`
`The POBITS product and system is a background investigation
`
`system designed to assist law enforcement agencies in conducting background
`
`investigations on candidates for sworn and non-sworn positions in accordance with
`
`Peace Officer Standards and Training guidelines.
`
`8.
`At the time of my development of the POBITS, and as early as 2005,
`I, and others in the field, could access publicly-available databases containing lists
`
`of law enforcement agencies in particular areas, e.g. by zip code.
`
`9.
`
`The POBITS product and system has been offered for sale since 2005
`
`and the modernized system since 2010.
`
`10.
`
`In conjunction with marketing and offering the POBITS product for
`
`sale, between 2005 and 2010, I posted a POBITS online user manual and technical
`
`reference (Ex. 1004) to my company’s website,
`
`http://WWW.esdevllc.com/pobits/help/indexhtml. As corroborated by the Internet
`Archive, the POBITS user manual and technical reference (Ex. 1004) was
`
`available to the public no later than February 1, 2011.
`
`11.
`
`EX. 1004 is a collection of screenshots of the Internet Archive
`
`(hfipzflwebarchivebrg) crawls or snapshots of the online POBITS user manual and
`
`technical reference, taken on February 1, 2011
