`
`Plaintiff AGIS Software Development LLC (“AGIS”) hereby submits its Response in
`
`Opposition to Apple Inc.’s (“Apple”) Opposed Motion for Leave to File Motion to Strike Expert
`
`Declaration of Joseph McAlexander Submitted with Summary Judgment Briefing (Dkt. 310).
`
`Apple’s motion for leave to file this motion to strike Mr. McAlexander’s declaration
`
`should be denied because the declaration properly addresses points made and inaccuracies of
`
`Apple’s motion for summary judgment and because any additional information contained in that
`
`declaration is harmless and causes no prejudice to Apple. Mr. McAlexander’s declaration is not
`
`an untimely expert report; it does not contain any new materials, test methodologies, opinions or
`
`changed conclusions. Moreover, Apple has already had an opportunity to respond to that
`
`declaration in its reply papers in support of its motion for summary judgment, and will have an
`
`opportunity to question Mr. McAlexander at trial. Regardless of how the McAlexander
`
`declaration is ultimately characterized, Apple has suffered no prejudice and cannot articulate any
`
`beyond mere conclusory assertions of prejudice.
`
`Even if Mr. McAlexander’s declaration is found to contain statements that are considered
`
`to be rebuttal to the opinions of Apple’s infringement expert, Paul Clark, because
`
`Mr. McAlexander reaches no new conclusions and provides no new substantive opinions, such
`
`statements are harmless to Apple and Apple has suffered no prejudice.
`
`Accordingly, AGIS respectfully requests that the Court deny Apple’s motion for leave to
`
`file a motion to strike the declaration of Mr. Joseph McAlexander.
