PERSONALIZED USER MODEL, L.L.P. AND DR. YOCHAI KONIG’S
RENEWED MOTION FOR JUDGMENT AS A MATTER OF LAW
ON GOOGLE’S BREACH OF CONTRACT COUNTERCLAIM
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b), Personalized User Model, L.L.P.
(“PUM”) and Dr. Yochai Konig hereby move the Court to enter judgment as a matter of law in
their favor on Google’s breach of contract counterclaim because: (1) no reasonable jury could
find that SRI’s alleged harm was inherently unknowable so as to toll the statute of limitations;
(2) Google failed to prove it acquired the right to bring SRI’s purported breach of contract claim;
and (3) Google failed to prove that Dr. Konig conceived of the invention in the patent law sense
while he was employed at SRI.

The grounds for this motion are set forth in PUM and

Dr. Konig’s Opening Brief, filed herewith.
