I have personal knowledge of the following facts, except those facts stated on information and belief, which facts I believe to be true. If called to testify I DECLARATION OF DEBRUINE ISO ELAN'S OPPOSITION TO APPLE'S MOTION TO STRIKE 1 Case No. 09-cv-01531 RS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 could and would testify competently to the matters stated herein. 2. Elan served timely infringement contentions on October 22, 2009 and invalidity contentions with respect to Apple's asserted patents on December 7, 2009, provided Apple with its preliminary claim constructions on January 11, 2010 and served its summary of the testimony of Robert Dezmelyk on February 22, 2010. 3. Apple took the deposition of Mr. Dezmelyk on April 9, 2010, from 9:07 am to 5:25 pm, including several short breaks and a 50-minute lunch break. 4. On May 7, 2010, both parties filed their Opening Claim Construction Briefs and Elan filed a declaration of Mr. Dezmelyk in support of Elan's Claim Constructions. The Declaration incorporates aspects of Mr. Dezmelyk's opinions to which he testified in his deposition in response to Apple's questions about the opinions set out in the February 22 Summary. Attached as Exhibit A is a chart comparing the opinions in the Summary, deposition testimony elaborating on the opinions in response to Apple's questions, and the Declaration paragraphs reflecting the deposition testimony. 5. True and correct copies of selected pages from the transcript of the April 9, 2010 deposition of Mr. Dezmelyk are attached as Exhibit B. 6. Apple has not sought to take an additional deposition of Mr. Dezmelyk on his so- called "new opinions," although it had over three weeks in which to do so. Instead, on Tuesday, June 1st, the evening before Responsive Claim Construction Briefs were due, Apple's counsel emailed me alleging that the May 7 declaration violates the Patent Local Rules, advising that Apple would move to strike it and asking Elan to agree to a shortened briefing schedule. A true and correct copy of Apple's email is attached as Exhibit C. // // // // // // DECLARATION OF DEBRUINE ISO ELAN'S OPPOSITION TO APPLE'S MOTION TO STRIKE 2 Case No. 09-cv-01531 RS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 7.
