I, Esther Kim, declare as follows:
2
1.
I am an associate in the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP, counsel for Apple
3
Inc. (“Apple”). I am licensed to practice law in the State of California. Unless otherwise
4
indicated, I have personal knowledge of the matters stated herein or understand them to be true
5
from other members of my litigation team. I make this Declaration in support of Apple’s Motion
6
for Adverse Inference Jury Instructions Due to Samsung’s Spoliation of Evidence.
7
2.
Certain exhibits to this Declaration consist of Korean-language documents
8
produced by Samsung in this action. To the extent time has permitted, Apple has obtained
9
certified translations of the documents and submits those translations herewith along with each
10
Korean original. For the remaining Korean-language documents, Apple has obtained non-
11
certified translations and submits those herewith along with the Korean original.
12
3.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of a translation of the
13
Republic of Korea’s Fair Trade Commission (“KFTC”) Press Release dated March 16, 2012,
14
which was obtained from the official website of the KFTC, at the address:

_type_cd=&currpage=6&searchKey=&searchVal=&stdate=&enddate= (last accessed on

April 29, 2012).
18
4.
Under my supervision, contract attorneys for Morrison & Foerster reviewed the
19
custodial documents Samsung produced for witnesses who were deposed by Apple—documents
20
produced in this action, as well as documents produced in the matter of Certain Electronic Digital
21
Media Devices and Components Thereof, Investigation No. 337-TA-796, pending in the
22
International Trade Commission (“ITC action”). The contract attorneys tallied the number of
23
emails within the custodial documents for each witness.
