`
`INTRODUCTION
`I.
`I, Christopher A. Martinez, am a Partner in StoneTurn Group LLP (“StoneTurn”). I
`1.
`provide financial, economics and accounting consulting services – including economic valuation
`of intellectual property such as patents, trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights – to attorneys and
`client companies. In addition to extensive consulting experience related to technology transfer, as
`well as software, trademark and patent licensing, I held the position of Vice President of SBC
`Knowledge Ventures (now doing business as AT&T Knowledge Ventures) with business
`responsibility for licensing of intellectual assets into and out of the SBC organization (now doing
`business as AT&T). I also served as the Chairman of the SBC Patent committee.
`
`I was integral to the development of SBC Knowledge Ventures as a licensing and
`2.
`technology transfer organization. I was one of the first employees of the entity (which ultimately
`grew to over 40 employees) and was responsible, along with other members of management, for
`defining strategy and developing the tactical plans to execute that strategy. I was responsible for
`hiring and managing the teams of technology and business professionals charged with
`implementing the strategic business and marketing plans, including technology identification and
`mining, valuation, market analysis, marketing, deal negotiation, contract monitoring and internal
`performance metering. In the course of my work at SBC Knowledge Ventures, I developed
`business plans, including revenue and cost projections related to outbound licensing, and addressed
`inbound intellectual asset-related transactions, including licenses and acquisitions.
`
`In my capacity as Vice President of SBC Knowledge Ventures and Chairman of the Patent
`3.
`Committee, I was actively involved in the commercialization efforts related to hundreds of
`technologies, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyrighted software applications. I was
`involved in dozens of negotiations related to the licensing and assignments of intellectual assets,
`and related entity acquisitions and equity investments in the telecommunications industry, as well
`as other industries.
`
`In addition to, and in conjunction with, my experience as a licensing executive, I have
`4.
`gained expertise in the field of licensing through my certifications. I have earned the Certified

`outcome of this lawsuit.
`
`ASSIGNMENT
`I.
`I have been retained as an expert in this matter by Jones Day, counsel for Defendant,
`7.
`Google LLC (“Google”), to evaluate the economic damages, if any, allegedly sustained by
`Plaintiff, Touchstream Technologies, Inc. (“Touchstream” or “Plaintiff”), as a result of
`Defendant’s alleged infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,356,251 (“the ‘251 Patent”), 8,782,528
`
`
`1 The CLP program “is a professional designation intended to distinguish those who have demonstrated experience,
`proficiency, knowledge and exposure to licensing and commercialization of intellectual property through
`involvement in patenting, marketing, valuation, IP law, negotiation, and intellectual asset management.”

`
`(“the ‘528 Patent”), and 8,904,289 (“the ‘289 Patent”) (collectively, “Patents-in-Suit”).5 The
`figure below is a summary of the Patents-in-Suit.
`
`On December 12, 2021, I submitted an expert report in this matter whereby I put forth my
`8.
`opinion of a reasonable royalty that is adequate to compensate Touchstream for Google’s alleged
`use of the Patents-in-Suit, under the assumptions of infringement and validity (“Initial Report”).
`
` Subsequent to my Initial Report, Google produced a patent license agreement with S.M.R
`9.
`Innovations LTD that I understand from discussion with Dr. Patel provides a license to patents that
`are technologically comparable to the Patents in Suit. I have been asked to review and incorporate
`the SMR Agreement into my analysis and opinions.
`
`SMR AGREEMENT
`II.
`On January 5, 2023, S.M.R Innovations LTD (“SMR”) entered into a patent license
`10.
`agreement with Google. (the “SMR Agreement”)6. Google entered into this agreement to settle
`disputed claims with no admission of wrongdoing, infringement, or liability.7 The term of the
`agreement commences on the Effective Date, which is January 5, 2023, and continues until the
`later of the expiration of the last to expire of the Licensed Patents or the last date where there is a
`right to assert any claim of the Licensed Patents.8 I understand the final expiration of the last of
`the Licensed Patents will occur in 2026.9
`
`SMR granted to Google and its affiliates a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-
`11.
`cancellable, non-exclusive, non-transferable (except as defined in the SMR Agreement), fully
`paid-up, royalty free license to make, have made, use have used, sell, offer for sale, have sold or
`offered for sale, import or export, have imported or exported, lease, license, or otherwise exploit
`any Google Product to otherwise practice, and have practiced any method, service, system, process
`
`
`5 Complaint for Patent Infringement, Case No. 6:21-cv-00569-ADA, dated June 4, 2021 (“Complaint”).
`6 SMR Agreement (GOOG-TST-00221294 to GOOG-TST-00221308 at GOOG-TST-00221305).
`7 SMR Agreement (GOOG-TST-00221294 to GOOG-TST-00221308 at GOOG-TST-00221298); I understand from
`counsel there was no litigation filed against Google.
`8 SMR Agreement (GOOG-TST-00221294 to GOOG-TST-00221308 at GOOG-TST-00221299).

`
`or procedure in connection therewith, and to use, have used, import, export, or have imported or
`exported any product or service of a third party solely for purposes of operating the business of
`Google or its Affiliates.10 Google will make a one-time payment of $300,000 for these rights.11
`
`I understand from discussion with Google’s technical expert Dr. Patel that the Licensed
`12.
`Patents relate to the routing of data between electronic devices and are technologically comparable
`to the Patents in Suit.12
`
`The SMR Agreement has similarities and differences relative to the hypothetical
`13.
`Touchstream/Google license (the “Hypothetical License"). The SMR Agreement differs from the
`Hypothetical License in that the SMR Agreement covers a relatively small remaining patent life
`of approximately 3 years, whereas the Patents-in-Suit have a remaining life of approximately 10
`years from the date of the Hypothetical Negotiation. The SMR Agreement is similar to the
`Hypothetical License in that the SMR Agreement covers technologically comparable to the
`Licensed Patents relative to the Patents-in-Suit, per Dr. Patel. The SMR Agreement also is relevant
`to Google Products inclusive of the accused products, and Google is a party to the license. Based
`on these similarities, the SMR Agreement is a relevant data point to consider as a comparable
`license under Georgia-Pacific factors 2 and 15.
`
`SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
`III.
`As stated in my Initial Report, assuming the Patents-in-Suit are found to be valid,
`14.
`enforceable, and infringed, it is my opinion that the proper measure of damages in this matter is a
`reasonable royalty structured as a lump sum payment. Based on a hypothetical negotiation on or
`around, July 2013 between Touchstream and Google would result in no more than a $9 million
`payment for a U.S.-only, non-exclusive, perpetual, bare patent license to the Patents-in-Suit.
`
`
`10 SMR Agreement (GOOG-TST-00221294 to GOOG-TST-00221308 at GOOG-TST-00221296).
`11 SMR Agreement (GOOG-TST-00221294 to GOOG-TST-00221308 at GOOG-TST-00221298).
`12 SMR Agreement (GOOG-TST-00221294 to GOOG-TST-00221308 at GOOG-TST-00221306); Discussion with
`Dr. Patel.

`
`The SMR Agreement is structured as a fully paid-up lump-sum license for the rights
`15.
`granted with a lump sum payment of $300,000.13 It is my opinion that the SMR Agreement, which
`I understand from Dr. Patel, Google’s technical expert, licenses technology that is comparable to
`the Patents-in-Suit, provides guidance regarding Google’s preferred fully paid-up lump sum
`license structure, and is a relevant and informative data point (i.e., a downward influence on the
`hypothetical negotiation) as to the amount Google may be willing to pay as a royalty for a non-
`exclusive license for similar (i.e., comparable) patented technology.

` PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT
`
`
`
`This PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the date of last
`execution (“Effective Date”) by and between Google LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
`with a place of business at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, United States
`94043 (“Google”), and S.M.R INNOVATIONS LTD, a limited liability company organized and
`existing under the laws of Israel with its principal place of business at Hapisga 178, Nofit, Israel,
`and Y.M.R TECH LTD, a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of Israel
`with its principal place of business at Hagalgal 5, Ramat Gan, Israel (collectively “Licensor”) and
`is effective as of the Effective Date.
`
`WHEREAS, Licensor and its Affiliates own or control, and have the right to license, certain
`Patents;
`
`WHEREAS, Licensor and its Affiliates desire to grant to Google and its Affiliates, and Google and
`its Affiliates desire to obtain, a license to such Patents according to the terms and conditions of
`this Agreement; and
`
`NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants contained herein
`and other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
`Parties agree as follows:
`
`1. DEFINITIONS.
`
`1.1.
`
`“Affiliate” means, with respect to a particular Person, any other Person that Controls,
`is Controlled by, or is under common Control with the particular Person, but only for
`so long as such Control exists. For the avoidance of doubt, Apple Inc. is not Google’s
`Affiliate and shall not constitute an After-Acquired Affiliate.
`
`“Claim” means any or all of the following: causes of action, liabilities, claims, demands
`for damages (including actual, consequential, punitive, and exemplary damages and
`injunctive relief), costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), pre- and post-
`judgment interest, and any other form of claim or compensation of any kind or nature
`whatsoever, whether past, present or future, fixed or contingent, patent or latent, direct
`or indirect, in law or equity, several or otherwise, and whether known or unknown,
`suspected or unsuspected, or asserted or unasserted.
`
`“Confidential Information” means (a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
`including the negotiation of such terms and conditions, and (b) non-public information
`disclosed by one Party (“Discloser”), either directly or through a third party (e.g., a
`broker), to the other Party (“Recipient”) during the negotiation of this Agreement that
`is designated as confidential or, under the circumstances of disclosure, is known or
`should be known by the Recipient to be confidential including information disclosed by
`Google to Licensor relating to any Google Products. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
`Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) was known to Recipient
`before receipt from Discloser; (ii) is publicly available through no fault of Recipient; (iii)
`is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or
`(iv) is independently developed by Recipient.
