`
`DECLARATION OF BRIAN MARCUCCI
`
`1, Brian Marcucci, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am President of Pmcipl Advisors, a consulting company working with Demaray
`
`LLC (“Demaray”). I submit this declaration in support of Demaray’s Oppositions to Intel’s and
`
`Samsung’s Motion to Transfer Venue. I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth in this
`
`declaration and, if called as a Witness, could testify to its contents.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Before Prncipl Advisors, I have held various roles at companies associated with
`
`the semiconductor industry including Allied Inventors LLC, Intermolecular Inc, IPValue
`
`Management, Inc, Future Link Systems, LLC, Tessera, Inc, and Amkor Technology Inc. I have
`
`worked in and around the semiconductor industry for decades. Through my current and prior
`
`roles, I have extensive experience with intellectual property licensing and corporate
`
`development.
`
`
`
`5 .
`
`I am one of the principal persons working with Demaray in its various endeavors
`
`and have personal knowledge regarding those matters, including the persons and the documents
`
`related thereto.
`
`6.
`
`During my work with Demaray, we discovered that Intel and Samsung were using
`
`the patented technology in the Demaray patents at issue, without authorization, to manufacture
`
`thin films in electronic devices. Intel and Samsung semiconductor products consist largely of

`
`layer—upon—layer of thin films engineered and processed to create a very large number of
`
`interconnected transistors that together form microprocessors, memories or other semiconductor
`
`devices.
`
`7.
`
`The named inventors on the Demaray patents at issue are Dr. Hongmei Zhang,
`
`Mukundan Narasimhan, Dr. Ravi B. Mullapudi, and Dr. Richard E. Demaray. Dr. Demaray is
`
`Managing Member of Demaray LLC. Dr. Zhang and Mr. Narasimhan are consulting for
`
`Demaray LLC with regards to this litigation. Dr. Zhang is located in Boston, Massachusetts. Mr.
`
`Narasimhan is located in Bangalore, India.
`
`8.
`
`Further, I understand that both Dr. Demaray and Dr. Zhang are knowledgeable
`
`regarding the conception and reduction to practice of the inventions described in the Demaray
`
`patents at issue. While Dr. Demaray lives in Portola Valley, CA, he has confirmed that he is
`
`Willing and able to travel to Waco, TX, to attend trial in this matter. In addition, the Western
`
`District of Texas is closer to Boston than the Northern District of California, making the cost and
`
`convenience of travel to the Western District of Texas more favorable for Dr. Zhang.
`
`9.
`
`Demaray has used electronic document storage systems (e.g, Google Cloud and
`
`dropboxcom) to maintain its documents for many years. Currently, I maintain the most complete
`
`repository of information regarding Demaray, the Demaray patents at issue, Demaray’s
`
`predecessor in the Demaray patents at issue (Syrmnorphix Inc.), and this litigation at my
`
`residence in Phoenix, AZ. Many of these materials are also stored electronically on Google
`
`Cloud and dropboxcom and are accessible across the country.
