DECLARATION OF MARGARET KAMMERUD IN SUPPORT OF GOOGLE'S
MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF TO PROVIDE CONCEPTION, REDUCTION-TOPRACTICE, AND PRIORITY DATE INFORMATION FOR THE PATENTS-IN-SUIT
I, Margaret P. Kammerud, declare as follows:
1.
I am an attorney in the law firm of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP and
am counsel for Defendant Google Inc. in the above-captioned case. I provide this declaration
upon personal knowledge and, if called upon as a witness, would testify competently as to the
matters recited herein.
2.
Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of Plaintiff's Objections
and Responses to Google's First Set of Interrogatories, dated December 7, 2011.
3.
Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of a letter from myself to
Plaintiff's counsel Ken Brothers, dated December 13, 2011.
4.
Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true and correct copy of an email from Ken
Brothers to Google counsel David Perlson and myself, dated December 19, 2011.
5.
Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of an email from David
Perlson to Ken Brothers, dated December 20, 2011.
6.
On December 22, 2011, the parties engaged in telephonic meet-and-confer
regarding Plaintiff's responses to Google's Interrogatory No. 1 and No. 9. David Perlson,
Jennifer Ghaussy, and myself participated in this meet-and-confer on behalf of Google, while
Ken Brothers and Charles Monterio participated on behalf of Plaintiff. During this meet-andconfer, Mr. Brothers stated that Plaintiff would not be able to give a complete response to
Google's Interrogatory No. 1 until it could review documents produced by third-party Lycos,
Inc., in response to a subpoena served by Google. During this meet-and-confer, Mr. Brothers
also stated that Plaintiff's current contention is that the priority date for the patents-in-suit is
December 3, 1998, but that Plaintiff had not decided whether it would rely on earlier patent
applications to pursue an earlier priority date.
7.
Attached hereto as Exhibit E is a true and correct copy of a letter from Plaintiff
counsel Charles Monterio to David Perlson, dated January 10, 2012.
8.

Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a true and correct copy of a letter from Charles
Monterio to Joshua Sohn, dated February 9, 2012.
10.
Attached hereto as Exhibit H is a true and correct copy of Defendants'
Preliminary Invalidity Contentions, dated January 24, 2012.
11.
Attached hereto as Exhibit I is a true and correct copy of an email from Armands
Chagnon, senior paralegal for Plaintiff's counsel, conveying to Google's counsel the document
production of Andrew Lang, named inventor of the patents-in-suit.
12.
Attached hereto as Exhibit J is a true and correct copy of an email from Ken
Brothers to myself, dated February 1, 2012.

counsel Mark Blais to Joshua Sohn, dated January 10, 2012.
I declare under penalty of perjury of the laws of the United States that the foregoing is
true and correct.
