`
`1, Michael Jaynes, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am employed as a Senior Finance Manager at Apple Inc.
`
`in Sunnyvale,
`
`California and live in Northern California.
`
`I have been employed by Apple since January
`
`2015.
`
`2.
`
`I make this declaration in support of Apple’s Reply In Support of Its Motion to
`
`Transfer Venue To The Northern District Of California Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).
`
`Unless otherwise indicated below, the statements in this declaration are based on my
`
`personal knowledge, my review of corporate records maintained by Apple in the ordinary
`
`course of business, and/or my discussions with Apple employees. If called to testify as a
`
`witness, I could and would competently do so under oath.
`
`3.
`
`I spoke with Apple employee Frank Casanova. Frank Casanova is the Senior
`
`Director of Worldwide Partner Marketing and works in Cupertino, California. Mr.
`
`Casanova has responsibility for Apple’s marketing relationships with cellular carriers.
`
`Mr. Casanova explained that any third party cellular carrier marketing of Apple products
`
`and services is guided by his team at Apple. Mr. Casanova confirmed that to his
`
`knowledge none of AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon has ever marketed any of the software
`
`features accused in this case. Mr. Casanova confirmed that to his knowledge no third
`
`party cellular carriers were involved in any marketing related to the accused features. Mr.
`
`Casanova also confirmed that if any third party carrier were to market any Apple
`
`application or software feature, those marketing activities would have been approved by
`
`his team at Apple.

`
`4.
`
`In my November 8, 2017 declaration, I identified Apple engineers that developed
`
`the accused technology. Those Apple engineers are in three specific groups at Apple:
`
`iCloud Tools and Services, iCloud Project Management, and iOS Web Applications.
`
`I
`
`have verified that there is only one Apple employee in those three groups who is located
`
`in the state of Texas: David Hyatt.
`
`I spoke with Jon Lee, Mr. Hyatt’s manager at Apple.
`
`Mr. Lee confirmed that Mr. Hyatt is a software developer and that Mr. Hyatt has worked
`
`on Apple’s WebKit team, which relates to Apple’s Internet browser Safari, since he began
`
`working at Apple 15 years ago. Mr. Lee confirmed that Mr. Hyatt did not have any
`
`involvement in the design or development of any of the software applications or features
`
`accused in this case. Although Mr. Lee and the WebKit team are based in Cupertino,
`
`California, Mr. Hyatt works remotely from his home in The Woodlands, Texas.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
`
`true and correct.
