Exhibit A (the 12 post-SOL face-page election patents) covers one channel: USPTO publication. Plaintiff's name was used in commerce across many other channels simultaneously. This Exhibit B packet picks one anchor exhibit per channel, plus a few specific anchors in channels that warrant pairs, so the lawyer can demonstrate the breadth and depth of the misappropriation in a single small set.
Each Exhibit B entry uses the same caption + ≤35-word justification format as Exhibit A.

Total unique acts across these channels: ~5,300+ post-SOL (4,594 from POST_SOL_ACTS_CATALOG plus the newly-discovered 688 USPTO-to-both bucket plus database republications and trademark declarations not previously bucketed).
US 12,194,434 (issue 2025‑01‑14): native eGrant front page with attorney/agent = "Nath, Goldberg & Meyer; Richard C. Litman"; CN‑37833 = yes. KSU docket 33056.80A. Bates LITMAN000139 (full 27-page patent at
/production/REQ1_Patents/, MD5-verified, world-readable on litmanintelligence.com).
Justification: Last of 12 post-SOL Litman face-page elections (live USPTO ODP API 2026-04-25); 462-grant universe / 12-Litman / 449-Goldberg / 1-Lafave proves deliberate per-patent election. See Ex. A-1 → A-12 packet for the complete set.
US App. 18/612,504, Office Action / Notice of Allowance (issued by examiner, addressed to NGM under correspondence Customer Number 37833): IFW row archived in NGM-served discovery. Pull via Patent Center / PFW API.
Justification: USPTO outgoing communication addressed to NGM under Plaintiff's correspondence designation; one of 49 post-SOL IFW outgoing docs (POST_SOL_ACTS_CATALOG.md Bucket B). USPTO-treats-Plaintiff-as-attorney evidence at the federal-record level.
Companion exhibit — pair with B-1 to show the prosecution → publication chain ending in the face-page election.
Power of Attorney (PTO/AIA/82A) for App. 18/612,504, signed by Joshua B. Goldberg (Reg. 44,126) on 2024-03-21, designating CN-37833 with Plaintiff in the correspondence block. Production-folder POA series: Bates LITMAN000361 – LITMAN000513 (60 POAs, 153 pages); see also
output/research_2026_04_28_overnight/PTOL_85B_ELECTION_VERIFICATION.md.
Justification: Goldberg's own pen-to-paper signature designating Plaintiff's correspondence; one of 16 personal POA signatures over 22 months (memory project_court_status.md). Defeats Goldberg's NYSCEF #65 ¶33 denial that he "caused" the use.
LITMAN049568 (2025‑01‑14 eGrant Notification, FROM
noreply@uspto.govTOlitman@4patent.com; uspto_nva@nathlaw.com; jgoldberg@nathlaw.com), subject "USPTO: Patent Electronic System – eGrant Notification for Customer Number 37833"; body verbatim:"Correspondence Address: Richard C. Litman, Nath, Goldberg & Meyer, 112 S. West Street, Alexandria, VIRGINIA, 22314, UNITED STATES."
2 unnamed attachments (eGrant + eCofC for the same-day-issued patents — including US 12,194,434 / Ex. A-12).
Justification: The federal government — USPTO — naming Plaintiff as the firm's correspondence-address attorney in a system-generated message sent to him in real time alongside Goldberg. One of 688 such post-SOL emails (memory project_uspto_to_both_examiner_emails.md); same-day pair with Ex. A-12 (US 12,194,434 issued and emailed on 2025-01-14).
Companion — Ex. B-4-a: LITMAN028081 (2024-06-25 eGrant Notification) — same format, same body language, sent 26 days pre-SOL — anchors the willfulness/course-of-conduct argument.
Bates LITMAN002000 (2024-07-22, Subject "RE: Office Action Notification for King Saud University -- Docket: 33092.30U", FROM Martha Long mlong@nathlaw.com TO IPTL@KSU.EDU.SA, signature carries "Nath, Goldberg & Meyer; attorney Richard C. Litman"). One of 4,374 post-SOL client emails using Plaintiff's name (memory
POST_SOL_ACTS_CATALOG.mdBucket C).
Justification: Per memory feedback_volume_pattern_framing.md, lead with the day-by-day drumbeat: KSU received 2,727 emails under Plaintiff's name in 53 active weeks post-SOL (peak: 112 emails to KSU in week of 2025-01-13). Continuous client-facing use of name to retain the relationship.
7/24/2025 Hashtag Sports cease-and-desist letter signed "Richard C. Litman and Howard W. Kline" — latest confirmed name use in entire case (memory
project_trademark_track_analysis.md). Plus 16+ §8/9/15 declarations filed under Plaintiff's USPTO Reg. 30,868 in the post-SOL-safe window, including a 7/2/2025 §8/15 declaration filed solo to Plaintiff post-litigation.
Justification: TM track stands independently as §50-51 misappropriation: 245 verified TM dockets, 115 post-SOL-safe, 12 TTAB proceedings with Plaintiff as Correspondent. Howard Kline = central TM-side witness (potential third-party defendant).
AR Report 202602_RL at
evidence/AR_Report_202602_RL.xlsx— generated by Goldberg personally on 2026-02-17 withSortByResponsible:true. Surfaces $1,285,703.04 of receivables still attributed under "Responsible RL" 19 months post-SOL and 32 months post-arbitration. Single "responsible JBG" line (KSU 33115.20U $16,700) is the smoking-gun split.
Justification: Goldberg himself ran a report showing Plaintiff's name was still tracked as the responsible attorney for $1.28M of receivables 19 months post-SOL — defeats every "courtesy"/"title-only"/"inadvertent" defense simultaneously. Memory project_ar_report_responsible_jbg.md.
Lens.org JSON pull (live, 2026-04-29) for US 12,194,434 returns:
"agent":[{"name":"Nath, Goldberg & Meyer","sequence":1},{"name":"Richard C. Litman","sequence":2}]. Same JSON returned today — 11 months after the 5/1/2025 CN-37833 correspondence-name removal. Free Patents Online + Google Patents + Espacenet + Patentscope all index the same INID (74) data.
Justification: Per memory feedback_publication_framing.md, the harm propagates globally via INID-keyed downstream databases. NGM's 5/1/2025 erasure act stops new publications but doesn't undo the 12 already in the global indexing pipeline — continuing publication evidence under the Firth v. State republication exception.
25 Wayback Machine snapshots of nathlaw.com 7/22/2024 → 11/12/2025 (memory
INID74_REPUBLICATION_SCOPE.md). Each snapshot is its own published artifact during the SOL window. Earliest 1996 Wayback capture of 4patent.com renders "Litman Law Offices home page for Ideas, Inventions and patents" — embedded 31-year goodwill in the domain name itself (which NGM acquired but cannot extract from).
Justification: Each Wayback snapshot is a separately-dated republication of Plaintiff's name on a commercial website hosting NGM's services. The 1996 snapshot supports unjust-enrichment / value-of-name compensatory damages: NGM bought the domain after 21 years of Plaintiff's brand-equity development.
evidence/VA_SCC_LLO_Annual_Report_2025_filed_2025-07-28.pdf— 2025 Annual Report for LITMAN LAW OFFICES, LTD. (VA SCC Entity 02437754), filed 7/28/2025, signed by Joshua B. Goldberg under VA Class 1 misdemeanor liability dated 5/27/2025, holding out Goldberg + Jerald L. Myer as OWNERS (Plaintiff's name appears nowhere in the officer/director/owner fields). Also: Federal TM Reg. 1,861,297 "LITMAN LAW OFFICES, LTD." owned by Nath & Associates PLLC, attorney of record Howard W. Kline.
Justification: Goldberg sworn under VA penal liability that he is the OWNER of the LITMAN LAW OFFICES corporate entity; each annual SCC filing is a separately-dated commercial-use event in public VA records. The 4/30/2021 Litman reservation (Bates ND0000270242): "The assignment of the LITMAN LAW OFFICES, LTD. mark does not include the right to use my name separate and apart from the mark." Every continued use of "Litman Law Offices" violates this reservation.
NGM Professional Liability Insurance Application dated 7/6/2021, signed by Goldberg, listing Plaintiff as "Of Counsel" through 2022 (and likely subsequent renewals through current period). Partially produced as
NGM-Insurance00001-00455in 2/26/2026 discovery response Item 4 (peroutput/research_2026_04_28_overnight/PRE_2020_CONSENT_AUDIT.md).
Justification: Private commercial use of Plaintiff's name to procure professional-services insurance — a use distinct from USPTO publication, dated independently when each annual application was submitted. Pre-SOL exhibit; goes to willfulness and to direct rebuttal of Goldberg's "Plaintiff was disengaged" position.
evidence/uncle_supplied/Status_of_KSU_Cases_2022-12-30_Goldberg_authored.docx(MD5b5fa56d3bfe9db129bd1dd7261bf48f0). Word-doc metadata:author = "Joshua Goldberg",last_modified_by = "Joshua Goldberg",created = 2022-12-30 18:57 UTC. Created one day after the disputed $694,478.67 wire (12/29/2022). Tracks 167+ KSU matters at NGM under Plaintiff's name, including docket 33056.80 at $13,500 paid in trust → published as US 12,194,434 (Ex. A-12 / B-1) on 2025-01-14, two years later.
Justification: Goldberg's own product, metadata-baked authorship (admissible under CPLR 4518 with no foundation witness). Earliest documented Goldberg-authored supervision artifact post-termination. Connects the 12/30/22 wire to internal accounting; connects to the 2025-01-14 face-page-Plaintiff publication; connects to 2025-01-14 USPTO-to-both eGrant email (Ex. B-4). Single most-tightly-anchored chain in the case.
For Scott / counsel:
WILLFULNESS_AND_REPUBLICATION_PACK.md recommended 3x multiplier), the breadth and continuity in Exhibit B is the willfulness anchor: 12 channels of use, ~5,300+ post-SOL acts, all anchored to Goldberg-authored / Goldberg-signed / Goldberg-supervised events.For Plaintiff's review:
For each B-#, when the IFW pulls + face-page parsing complete (running in parallel via the Exhibit A FINAL agent):
The skeleton is filing-ready as-is; the IFW data fills in the captions to per-Plaintiff-playbook precision.
