`
`1, Andrew Oplinger, state and declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am a Technical Lead Manager for Google Product Infrastructure and work out of
`
`Google LLC’s (“Google”) Mountain View, California office.
`
`I submit this declaration based
`
`upon my knowledge of the corporate structure of Google, and my investigation of the location of
`
`witnesses and evidence related to the Google Maps for Mobile application (“GMM”). If called
`
`as a witness, I could and would testify competently to the information contained herein.
`
`2.
`
`Google’s Mountain View headquarters, which includes offices in neighboring
`
`Sunnyvale (collectively referred to as Mountain View herein), is where engineers, product
`
`managers, executives, and staff perform work related to GMM. The most significant design and
`
`release decisions that impact Android and GMM are made in Mountain View, California or San
`
`Francisco, California, by product leads as well as managers and engineering teams there.

`
`3.
`
`Googie provides GMM to various Android mobile device providers, including
`
`Huawei, LG, HTC, and ZTE. GMM was initially developed in Google’s Mountain View
`
`headquarters, and much of GMM’S ongoing design, development, and other technical activities
`
`take place in Mountain View and in San Francisco, where many of the engineers are located,
`
`including those responsible for Location Sharing. There are also engineers responsible for
`
`GMM’s Location Sharing feature located in Googie’s office in Sydney, Australia.
`
`4]
`
`Based on my knowledge and investigation to date, at least the following
`
`individuals have knowledge regarding the design, development, and operation of Location
`
`Sharing used on Android mobile devices:
`
`0 Myself and a team of engineers working in the Mountain View office responsible for
`
`Google Location Sharing functionality.
`
`0 Daniel Resnick, Technical Lead Manager, is located in Google’s Sydney, Australia
`
`Office.
`
`I understand that Mr. Resnick works with engineers and project leads related
`
`to GMM and its Location Sharing functionality in California, and is able to perform
`
`his work functions when traveling to Google’s headquarters in California.
`
`0 Tom Green, Technical Program Manager, is located in Google’s San Francisco,
`
`California office. Mr. Green is responsible for GMM releases.
`
`5.
`
`I am currently aware of no Googie employees with relevant knowledge regarding
`
`GMM or Location Sharing features residing or working in the Eastern District of Texas.
`
`6.
`
`Nearly all the documents relating to GMM, including highly proprietary
`
`information and source code, are either physically present in or electronically accessible from
`
`San Francisco, California; Mountain View, California; or Sydney, Australia, as that is where the

`
`persons most qualified to identify and locate such documents reside.
`
`I am aware of no
`
`documents described in this paragraph being located in the Eastern District of Texas.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed in
