`
` MR. PHERO: Objection to form,
`mischaracterization.
` A. I think that refers to the novelty of the
`invention, not -- not the components or parts of
`the invention which are also present in prior art.
` Q. Would you agree with me, then, that what
`must be commercially successful must be the novel
`parts of the invention?
` MR. PHERO: Objection to form, calls for a
`legal conclusion.
` A. As a patent attorney -- or as not a patent
`attorney I don't know that I am able to give you a
`concrete answer as far as that goes.
` Q. Okay. Here you say at the beginning of
`paragraph 199 that "The asserted claims of the
`'641 Patent is co-extensive with the covered road
`milling machines"; do you see that?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Whose covered road milling machines are

`anywhere provide an analysis showing that use of
`Wirtgen's road milling machines practice each and
`every step of claims 11, 17, and 18?
` MR. PHERO: Objection to form.
` A. My understanding is that the material from
`the prior ITC investigation has been made available
`to this particular case, and in that investigation
`I did that analysis.
` Q. Okay. And did you cite that in your
`opening report?
` A. I don't recall if that's cited.
` Q. Okay.
` Okay. Let's look at paragraph 191 of your
`opening report, and I've just got a series of a few
`quick questions about this section. Paragraph 191
`you don't -- you don't cite any evidence to support
`the opinions in this paragraph, correct?
` MR. PHERO: Objection to form.
` A. What was your question?
` Q. In paragraph 191 of your opening report
`you don't cite any evidence supporting the opinions
`contained here, correct?
