`
`

`

`l, Masud Mansuripur, Ph.D. declare and state as follows:
`
`I.
`
`SUMMARY AND SCOPE OF OPINIONS
`
`My opinions are summarized below:
`
`The Wild Patents & Retroreflection
`
`I understand the Wild Patents (US. Patent Nos. RE40,927, RE42,9l3, and
`RE43,681) state a retroreflector is any system comprising a focusing lens
`and a surface having some degree of reflectivity positioned near the focal
`point ofthe lens. (’927, Col. 1,7-10; ’913, Col. 1,20-23; ’681, Col. 1, 34-
`37). While this definition is not commonly used by those of ordinary skill
`in the art, it is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,552,857 to Hook
`(“Hock”) and US. Patent No. 3,481,672 to Zoot et al. (“Zoot”) disclose all
`of the limitations of the Wild Patent claims at issue, including this
`retroreflector limitation, as described in the Wild Patents.
`
`I understand the Wild Patents state optical gain is a narrowing of a
`reflected beam as compared to the reflected beam from a Lambertian
`radiator. (’927, Col. 4, 28-31; ’913, Col. 4, 42-45; ’681, Col. 1, 61-64).
`While this definition is not commonly used by those of ordinary skill in
`the art, it is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,552,857 to Hock (“Hock”)
`and US. Patent No. 3,481,672 to Zoot et al. (“Zoot”) disclose all of the
`limitations of the Wild Patent claims at issue, including this optical gain
`limitation, as described in the Wild Patents.
`
`Prior Art References
`
`It is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,552,857 to Hook (“Hock”)
`discloses: (A) a transceiver device that transmits light to and receives light
`from a retroreflector, (B) a lens/reflector combination acting as a
`retroreflector, (C) a detector for detecting the retroreflected light with an
`optical gain, and (D) a measuring and utilization means connected to the
`detector.
`
`It is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,552,857 to Hook (“Hock”), in
`combination with US. Patent No. 3,533,702 to Hock et al. (“Hock ll”),
`discloses: (A) a transceiver device that transmits light to and receives light

`
`BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND QUALIFICATIONS
`
`I am a Professor of Optical Sciences and Chair of Optical Data Storage at the University
`
`of Arizona in Tucson.
`
`I am a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), a Fellow
`
`of the SPIE (originally standing for the Society of Photo-Instrumentation Engineers), and
`
`have been an investigator in the field of optical data storage for more than 30 years. For
`
`the past 26 years I have been teaching at the College of Optical Sciences of the
`
`University of Arizona in Tucson
`
`My curriculum vitae, attached as Exhibit 1 to this declaration, provides a detailed account
`
`of my educational and professional background.
`
`I received my Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1981.
`
`Prior to that, I received a Master’s degree in Mathematics (1980) and a Master’s degree
`
`in Electrical Engineering (1978), both from Stanford University.
`
`I also have a Bachelor
`
`

`

`of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Arya-Mehr University of Technology
`
`(1977).
`
`My doctoral dissertation at Stanford was entitled “Statistics of Noise in Photodetection:
`
`Applications in Magneto—optical Recording,” and was supervised by Professor Joseph W.
`
`Goodman. This work is directly related to the problems associated with the reading of
`
`information from, and writing of information onto, an optical disc.
`
`In addition to being the topic of my thesis, while a student at Stanford University, I
`
`worked at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) on the technical problems
`
`associated with optical disc data storage.
`
`I spent a year at the Xerox Research Centre of
`
`Canada (1980-81) before returning to Xerox PARC and Stanford as a post-doctoral
`
`fellow (1981-82).
`
`From 1982 to 1988, I was first an Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor in
`
`Boston University’s Electrical Engineering Department. During this period, I established
`
`a laboratory for optical data storage at Boston University, and conducted research in the
`
`areas of information recording and readout, as well as material characterization tools and
`
`techniques for optical discs and optical disc drives.
`
`I joined the faculty of the College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona
`
`(Tucson) in September 1988 as an Associate Professor of Optical Sciences.
`
`1 was
`
`promoted to full Professor in 1991, and was eventually appointed Chair of Optical Data
`
`Storage in 2002.
`
`I was elected Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA) in November 2000 for my
`
`contributions to the science and technology of optical data storage.
`
`I was elected Fellow
`
`of the SPIE in 2011 for my contributions to the field of optics and photonics.
`
`I have been
`
`extensively involved in coordinated research efforts and professional societies, and have
`
`held numerous committee memberships throughout my career.
`
`For the past 25 years, I have been involved with the International Optical Data Storage
`
`Conference (ODS), which has been jointly sponsored by OSA, SPIE (Society of Photo-
`
`-4-
`
`

`

`Instrumentation Engineers), and IEEE/LEOS (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
`
`Engineers, Lasers and Electro—Optics Society).
`
`I was a member of the program
`
`committee from 1988 to 2001, a co-chair of the conference in 1992-94 and again in 1997—
`
`99, a member of the advisory committee (2004—06), and again as a member of the
`
`program committee (2006-12). Between 1996 and 2006, I was a contributing editor of
`
`Optics & Photonics News, the monthly magazine of OSA.
`
`10.
`
`I have also been a member of the program committee of the International Symposium on
`
`Optical Memory (ISOM) from 1991-2005 and a member of the advisory committee from
`
`2005-present. ODS and ISOM are the two major international conferences in the field of
`
`optical data storage; both are held annually, one in the United States, the other in Japan.
`
`Since 1993, the two conferences meet once every three years on one of the Hawaiian
`
`islands to hold a joint conference. This conference is routinely attended by the pre-
`
`eminent scientists and engineers in the optical data storage field.
`
`I have attended every
`
`one of the ODS conferences between 1982 and 2012 (except for 2010), several of the
`
`ISOM conferences starting in 1989, and all of the joint meetings since their inauguration
`
`in 1993.
`
`I was co—chair of the joint meeting of ISOM/ODS held in Maui in the summer
`
`of 1993.
`
`11.
`
`I was a member of the Working Committee on Optical Data Storage, NSF Workshop on
`
`Advanced Data Storage Technology for Computer Systems in Pittsburgh in January

`
`III.
`
`LEGAL STANDARDS
`
`I have been provided with the following basic legal standards and have applied these
`
`24.
`
`25.
`
`standards in forming my opinions set forth herein.
`
`26.
`
`
`THE HYPOTHETICAL PERSON. My opinions regarding the meaning and scope of the
`
`claim terms (and claims) are rendered from the perspective of a hypothetical person of
`
`ordinary skill in the pertinent art as of the time of the invention, i.e., the effective filing
`
`dates of the patent applications for the Wild Patents.
`
`I understand the Wild patents are
`
`reissues of US. Patent No. 6,603,134 (“the ’134 patent”).
`I understand the ’ 134 patent
`was filed on March 10, 1967 and the application for the ‘134 patent was subject to a
`
`secrecy order pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §181 until March 15, 2000.
`
`I understand the ’ 134
`
`patent issued on August 5, 2003.
`
`I understand the ’927 patent was filed on August 5, 2005, and issued on October 6, 2009
`
`with 71 claims.
`
`I understand the ’913 patent was filed on May 22, 2009, and issued on
`
`November 15, 2011.
`
`I understand the ”681 patent was filed on October 17, 2011, and
`
`issued on September 25, 2012.
`
`For the purposes of this report, I have provided my opinions from the perspective of a
`
`hypothetical person of ordinary skill in the pertinent art as of 1967.
`
`I will use the term
`
`“person of ordinary skill” or “one of ordinary skill,” as a shorthand for the hypothetical
`
`27.
`
`28.
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged invention.
`
`29.
`
`
`LEVEL OF SKILL IN THE ART.
`
`I understand that my opinions herein should be
`
`rendered from the perspective of the hypothetical person of ordinary skill in the field of
`
`

`

`optical engineering. In my opinion, the level of skill of such a person in 1967 would
`
`have been someone with a Master’s Degree in electrical engineering or physics focusing
`
`on the applications of optics, or a Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering or physics
`
`and at least five years of experience in optical applications. Based on my education and
`
`experience, I satisfy this level of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`30.
`
`
`PATENTEE AS LEXICOGRAPHER.
`
`I understand a patent document itself can set forth
`
`a meaning of a claim term if that meaning is set forth clearly. In such instances, I
`
`understand that the patentee acts as a lexicographer.
`
`31.
`
`
`PATENTEE AS LEXICOGRAPHER. In my opinion, the Wild Patents clearly set forth
`
`the meaning of the claim terms “retroreflector” and “optical gain.”
`
`IV. WILD PATENTS
`
`32.
`
`I understand the Wild Patents state a retroreflector is any system comprising a focusing
`
`lens and a surface having some degree of reflectivity positioned near the focal point of
`
`the lens. (’927, Col. 1, 7-10; ’913, Col. 1, 20-23; ’681, Col. 1, 34-37). This definition is
`
`not commonly used by those of ordinary skill in the art. Nevertheless, it is my opinion
`
`that US Patent No. 3,552,857 to Hock (“Hock”) and US. Patent No. 3,481,672 to Zoot
`
`et al. (“Zoot”) disclose all of the limitations of the Wild Patent claims at issue, including
`
`this retroreflector limitation, as described in the Wild Patents.
`
`33.
`
`I understand the Wild Patents state optical gain is a narrowing of a reflected beam as
`
`compared to the reflected beam from a Lambertian radiator. (’927, Col. 4, 28-31; ’913,
`
`Col. 4, 42-45; ”681, Col. 1, 61-64). This definition is not commonly used by those of
`
`ordinary skill in the art. Nevertheless, it is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,552,857 to
`
`Hock (“Hock”) and US. Patent No. 3,481,672 to Zoot et al. (“Zoot”) disclose all of the
`
`limitations of the Wild Patent claims at issue, including this optical gain limitation, as
`
`described in the Wild Patents.
`
`

`

`V.
`
`U.S. PATENT NO. 3,552,857 (“HOCK”[
`
`34.
`
`It is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,552,857 to Hock (“Hock”) discloses: (A) a
`
`concentric transceiver device that transmits light to and receives light from a
`
`retroreflector, (B) a lens/reflector combination acting as a retroreflector, (C) a detector for
`
`detecting the retroreflected light with an optical gain, and (D) a measuring and utilization
`
`means connected to the detector.
`
`35.
`
`Those skilled in the art would know that the reflective surface (26, 21) positioned within
`
`the focal plane (14) of the focusing means of Hock discloses a retroreflector as defined
`
`by the Wild Patents. (See e.g., Hock, Col. 3:61-65, Hock, Col. 4, ll. 20). See also Hock,
`
`Figure 3a. Further, those skilled in the art would know that the reflective surface (26, 21)
`
`positioned within the focal plane (14) of the focusing means of Hock discloses optical
`
`gain as defined by the Wild Patents.
`
`36.
`
`Those skilled in the art would know that Hock discloses a measuring means. (See e. g.
`
`Hock, Col. 3, ll. 58—59, Hock, Col. 1, ll. 44-47). Hock II also discloses a measuring
`
`means. Hock ll discloses that electronic signals are passed from the “photoelectric
`
`transducer 19 to the output terminals of which two evaluation devices such as tuned
`
`amplifiers 113, 114 are connected; one of these evaluation devices reacts to a signal of
`
`frequency (2n+l)f1, whereas the other one reacts to a signal of frequency (211+ l)f2.”
`
`(Hock 11, C01. 3, 11. 14-18). Hock II also discloses: “Of the signals obtained in this way
`
`from the photoelectric transducer use is made in utilization means which are known in the
`
`art and for this reason need not be described in detail.” (Hock 11, C01. 4, 11. 19-22). To
`
`the extent that Hock, alone, does not sufficiently disclose this claim limitation, it would
`
`have been obvious to one of skill in the art to combine Hock with Hock H. Hock and
`
`Hock H are directed to the same subject matter. Specifically, I understand that Hock and
`
`-10-
`
`

`

`Hock 11 share the same inventors and claim priority to the same German patent
`
`application, L 50, 566.
`
`37.
`
`Hock does not disclose a concentric transceiver. Nevertheless, those skilled in the art
`
`would have been motivated to combine Hock with Kingsbury or Thomas to create a
`
`substantially concentric transceiver. Concentric transceivers were well—known in the art
`
`as described by Figure 1 of Kingsbury and Figures 1, 6, and 7 of Thomas. Further,
`
`concentric transceivers were known as a space-saving alternative to designs which used a
`
`non-concentric beam splitter configuration.
`
`38.
`
`Accordingly, it is my opinion that Hock, alone, or in combination with Hock ll,
`
`Kingsbury, and Thomas, disclose: (A) a concentric transceiver device that transmits light
`
`to and receives light from a retroreflector, (B) a lens/reflector combination acting as a
`
`retroreflector, (C) a detector for detecting the retroreflected light with an optical gain, and
`
`(D) a measuring and utilization means connected to the detector.
`
`VI.
`
`U.S. PATENT NO. 3,481,672 (“ZOOT’Q
`
`39.
`
`It is my opinion that US. Patent No. 3,481,672 to (“Zoot”) discloses: (A) a concentric
`
`transceiver device that transmits light to and receives light from a retroreflector, (B) a
`
`lens/reflector combination acting as a retroreflector, (C) a detector for detecting the
`
`retroreflected light with an optical gain, and (D) a measuring and utilization means
`
`connected to the detector.
`
`40.
`
`Those skilled in the art would know that the reflective object (11) disposed in the focal
`
`plane of a focusing lens (14) of Zoot discloses a retroreflector as defined by the Wild
`
`Patents. (See e.g., Zoot, Col. 1, 11. 18-19; Col. 4,11. 11-14; Col. 5,11. 15—18). See also
`
`Zoot, Figure 4A. Further, those skilled in the art would know the reflective object (11)
`
`disposed in the focal plane of a focusing lens (14) of Zoot discloses optical gain as
`
`defined by the Wild Patents.
`
`-11-
`
`

`

`41.
`
`Those skilled in the art would know that Zoot discloses the “beam splitter” or “means
`
`disposed between said radiant energy source and said optical system for transmitting a
`
`portion of the radiant energy produced by said radiant energy source toward said optical
`
`system” limitation of the claims. Zoot discloses a beam splitter combination of elements
`
`(13, 18), and beam splitter designs were well known in the art at the time of the earliest
`
`priority date of the Wild Patents. However, to the extent Zoot does not disclose this
`
`limitation, Electronics does. The specification of Zoot mentions and describes
`
`Electronics. In other words, Zoot incorporates the Electronics article by reference. More
`
`specifically, Zoot and Electronics constitute a single reference.
`
`42.
`
`Electronics discloses two systems similar to the invention disclosed by Zoot. One of the
`
`systems, a Mitsubishi design, describes the use of a “half mirror” that deflects the
`
`incoming reflected spot through a collimating lens and a pinhole onto a solar cell.”
`
`(Electronics, pg. 210, Col. 1). To the extent Zoot and Electronics do not constitute a
`
`single reference, those skilled in the art would have been motivated to combine them to
`
`satisfy the “beam splitter” or “means disposed between said radiant energy source and
`
`said optical system for transmitting a portion of the radiant energy produced by said
`
`radiant energy source toward said optical system” limitation of the claims. The Zoot
`
`beam splitter combination of elements (13, 18) were not efficient to the extent that mirror
`
`(18) served to reflect a portion of the incident radiant energy away from the object and
`
`sensor. This deflected energy went unused. On the other hand, alternative types of beam
`
`splitter designs were known in the art for their ability to conserve radiant energy. One of
`
`skill in the art would be motivated to combine these references because they address the
`
`same problem of manual focusing of an object, disclose similar techniques of automatic
`
`focusing using a servo measuring and utilization means, and were developed during the
`
`same general time period.
`
`43.
`
`Those skilled in the art would have been motivated to combine Zoot with Kingsbury or
`
`Thomas to create a substantially concentric transceiver. Concentric transceivers were
`
`-12-
`
`

`

`wail-kncwn in the art as described by Figure 1 0f Kingsbury and Figures 1, 6, and 7 of“
`
`Thomas. Further¢ concentric transceivers wen? known a3 a space«sav§ng aitemative to
`
`designs which used a nonucencanu’ic beam splitter configuration.
`
`44.
`
`Accordingiy, it is my opinicm that 20m, akmes or in mmbination Electrcmiw, Kingsbary,
`and Thomas, digcfoge: {A}. a concentric {ransceiver déwce that: transmits fight to and
`
`receéives light from a retmrefiecmr, {8) a icnsfrcflector combination acting as a
`
`reimrefiecmr, (C) a daiecter for detecting the mtroraflcctsd light with an aptical gain, anzé
`
`(33) a maasuring and utilization means connecied :0 the datectgr.

`1' deciare under the penaity Ofperjury under the iaWs of'the United StatfiS ofAmerica that
`
`the foregoing is true and correct.
