`DECLARATION OF JEFFREY JOHNSON
`My name is Jeffrey Johnson. I am over 18 years of age and of sound mind. All the
`1.
`facts set forth in this declaration are based on my personal knowledge.
`2.
`I am a partner at Orrick, counsel for Defendant Realtek Semiconductor Corporation
`(“Realtek”).
`invalidity contentions on Plaintiff Bandspeed, LLC
`its
`Realtek served
`3.
`(“Bandspeed”) on July 12, 2022. Ten days later, on July 22, 2022, Realtek identified 112 claim
`terms requiring construction.
`4.
`I had numerous email and telephone exchanges with counsel for Bandspeed
`(primarily Adam Price) to discuss and attempt to narrow the extent of the parties’ claim
`construction disputes and reduce the number of terms that would need to be addressed at the
`Markman hearing. I have run multiple searches on our email system and found that at no time
`during any of these discussions did counsel for Bandspeed suggest that Realtek’s identification of
`certain terms as indefinite was untimely or that Realtek needed to amend its invalidity contentions
`to assert indefiniteness. Further, I have no memory of any such communication. In fact, the parties
`substantively addressed the terms Realtek contends are indefinite during their discussions, and
`counsel for Bandspeed never took the position that Realtek had waived its right to assert that these
`terms were indefinite.
`

`
`Specifically, the parties exchanged emails regarding the administrative issues
`5.
`and/or claim construction related issues on August 11, 12, 17, 22, 25, and 29, and September 1, 2,
`6, 7, and 12. The parties exchanged their proposed constructions on August 12, and exchanged
`additional emails about various administrative and claim construction related issues on August 25
`and 29, and September 1, 2, 6, 7, and 12.
`6.
`Again, at no time during these numerous emails and calls did counsel for
`Bandspeed ever suggest that Realtek’s identification of certain terms as indefinite was untimely.
`7.
`On September 13, 2022, the parties filed their Joint Claim Construction Statement
`(“JCCS”). Counsel for Bandspeed did not suggest that Realtek’s identification of certain terms as
`indefinite was untimely in the JCCS either.
`8.
`On September 27, 2022, the parties exchanged emails about aligning their claim
`construction briefs. And again counsel for Bandspeed did not suggest that Realtek’s identification
`of certain terms as indefinite was untimely.
`9.
`On October 4, 8, 10, 12, and 13, the parties exchanged emails on various subjects.
`Counsel for Bandspeed did not suggest that Realtek’s identification of certain terms as indefinite
`was untimely in any of these emails.
`10.
`In fact, the first time Bandspeed suggested that Realtek had not timely identified
`certain terms as indefinite was in its Opening Claim Construction Brief filed on October 17, 2022.
`I declare (or certify, verify, or state) under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and
`correct. Executed on March 29, 2023.
