UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
e.Digital Corporation,
Plaintiff,
v.
Dropcam, Inc.
Defendant.
Case No. 3:14-cv-01579-BEN-DHB
PLAINTIFF E.DIGITAL
CORPORATION’S OBJECTIONS
TO THE DECLARATION OF
JENNIFER SCHMIDT IN SUPPORT
OF DEFENDANT DROPCAM,
INC.’S MOTION TO TRANSFER

Date: September 29, 2014
Time: 10:30 a.m.

Judge: Hon. Roger T. Benitez
Ctrm: 5A (Schwartz)
Plaintiff e.Digital Corporation (“Plaintiff” or “e.Digital”) submits the
following evidentiary objections to the “Declaration of Jennifer Schmidt in

October 2009, respectively. The
declarant has failed to establish
personal knowledge of the respective
locations of the referenced inventors
and Dropcam has failed to request
judicial notice of these patents and the
statements made therein. At best, the
patents only state the location of the
inventors at the time the patents were
issued nearly five years ago. To the
extent the declaration implies the
patents identify the current location of
the inventors of the referenced patents,
this statement lacks foundation and
misstates the evidence.
“Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a true
and correct copy of the statistical
report ‘Patent Litigation Filings and
Outcomes by Court,’ Lex Machina
(January 2014).” Exhibit C. (¶ 5; Dkt
# 19-5 at p. 49, et seq.)
Lacks foundation. Failure to establish
personal knowledge. The declarant has
failed to establish personal knowledge
of the assertions contained in the
Exhibit and Dropcam has failed to
request judicial notice of the document
or the contents thereof. The declarant
also fails to state how the exhibit was
obtained and/or where it can be found
other than a broad reference in the
body of the document to
“lexmachina.com.” On that basis, the
exhibit lacks foundation. The exhibit
further lacks foundation in that it does
not reveal the source of the alleged data
contained therein, how it was
compiled, and/or any other data that
would be relevant in determining the
accuracy of the data on which Dropcam
seeks to rely, including, without
limitation, the number and length of
any stays in cases that proceeded to
trial.
