I, MICHAEL A. JACOBS, declare as follows:
2
1.
I am an attorney with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP, counsel for Apple
3
Inc. (“Apple”). I am licensed to practice law in the State of California. I have personal
4
knowledge of the matters stated herein or understand them to be true from members of my
5
litigation team. I make this declaration in support of Apple’s Opposition to Samsung’s Motion
6
for Temporary Administrative Relief Regarding Lead Counsel Meet & Confer Requirement.
7
2.
I have practiced at Morrison & Foerster for over 27 years and have represented
8
information technology and life sciences companies in over 25 patent lawsuits. I have served as
9
lead counsel on several high profile intellectual property cases. I am also the co-founder of my
10
firm’s Intellectual Property Practice Group, which Mr. McElhinny and I formerly co-chaired.
11
Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of my firm biography.
12
3.
Harold McElhinny and I share overall responsibility for representing Apple in its
13
claims against Samsung in this action. Both Mr. McElhinny and I will jointly present Apple’s
14
case to the Court and the jury at trial. As co-lead trial counsel representing Apple in this matter,
15
we share equally in advising Apple in making major strategic decisions in this case as well as in
16

Mr. McElhinny is currently in Tokyo, Japan until March 17, 2012 and will be in
Beijing, China from March 17 until March 25, 2012.

I will be available to represent Apple at in-person meetings regarding discovery
20
disputes that may otherwise move forward into motion practice. In fact, I will be attending the
21
lead counsel meet and confer scheduled for tomorrow, March 14, 2012. As co-lead trial counsel
22
in this case, I will ensure that discovery disputes receive my and my client’s full attention and that
23
reasonable attempts are made to resolve them without motion practice.
