`
`
`I, Bryan P. Clark, state and declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am a member of The Webb Law Firm, counsel of record for Defendants Huawei
`
`Device USA Inc., Huawei Device Co., Ltd., and Huawei Device (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. I am a
`
`member of the Bar of the State of Pennsylvania and have been admitted to practice in the United

`States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. I provide this declaration in support of
`
`Defendants’ motion to transfer the above-captioned action to the United States District Court for
`
`the Northern District of California. I submit this declaration based upon my personal knowledge
`
`of the subject matters addressed by this declaration. If called as a witness, I would and could
`
`testify competently as to the same.
`
`2.
`
`I was counsel of record for LIFE360, Inc. in a patent infringement action brought
`
`against it in 2014 by Plaintiff’s predecessor, Advanced Ground Information Systems, Inc. in the
`
`Southern District of Florida, captioned Advanced Ground Information Systems, Inc. v. LIFE360,
`
`Inc., United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida Case No. 9:14-cv-80651
`
`(the “Florida Action”). In the Florida Action, Advanced Ground Information Systems, Inc.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00513-JRG Document 74-4 Filed 01/05/18 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 1617
`
`asserted U.S. Patent No. 7,031,728, which is the ultimate parent of each of the patents-in-suit in
`
`this action, as well as three other patents that claim priority to the same parent applications as
`
`the patents-in-suit in this action. The technology accused of infringement in the Florida Action
`
`was a smartphone app that allows users to form groups with other users, view the locations of
`
`the other users on a map, and engage in communications, such as text communications, with the
`
`other users.
`
`3.
`
`Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of the Initial
`
`Disclosures pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1) served by Advanced Ground
`
`Information Systems, Inc. in the Florida Action. These disclosures did not identify Eric
`
`Armstrong or David Sietsema as relevant witnesses. Advanced Ground Information Systems,
`
`Inc. never updated these disclosures to identify Messrs. Armstrong or Sietsema.
`
`Messrs. Armstrong and Sietsema also were never deposed in the Florida Action.
`
`4.
`
`Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of Advanced Ground
`
`Information Systems, Inc.’s Pretrial Disclosures in the Florida Action. The pretrial disclosures
`
`do not identify Eric Armstrong or David Sietsema as trial witnesses to be presented either live
`
`or by deposition. During the five day trial in the Florida Action, neither Mr. Armstrong nor
`
`Mr. Sietsema was called as a witness.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed in
`
`Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on January 2, 2018.
