`
` 9 what I think of sort of a legal section. Which sets
`
` 09:11:57 10 forth certain principles and I'm referring to for
`
` 11 example the section starting on page 9 at
`
` 12 paragraph 23. Do you see that?

` 13 A. Yes.
`
` 14 Q. Okay. So that paragraph 23 that talks
`
` 09:12:15 15 about the -- the process for an invalidity analysis
`
` 16 I take it that was something that was written by
`
` 17 Intellectual Ventures I LLC lawyers; correct?
`
` 18 MR. VANDER LEEST: Objection;
`
` 19 attorney-client privilege. That's beyond the scope
`
`Page 7
`

` 12
`
` UNCERTIFIED ROUGH DRAFT -- NOT FOR OFFICIAL USE
`
`
` 1 UNCERTIFIED ROUGH DRAFT -- NOT FOR OFFICIAL USE
`
` 2 understanding of the claims.
`
` 3 MR. VANDER LEEST: You asked.

`RF-060915.txt
`
` 4 MR. MUKERJI: You can instruct him.
`
` 09:16:51 5 MR. VANDER LEEST: You I'll give you a
`
` 6 little leeway but we're not going to get this very
`
` 7 far.
`
` 8 Can you read the question back.
`
` 9 (The record was read by the
`
` 09:17:10 10 reporter.)
`
` 11 MR. VANDER LEEST: I'm going to object as
`
` 12 asked and answered and as to form and that's all you
`
` 13 can answer.

`
` 09:17:23 15 a technical perspective no, I didn't need it.
`
` 16 BY MR. MUKERJI:
`
` 17 Q. Now, I see in this section that starts on
`
` 18 page 9 it carries over to page 10 that you set forth
`
` 19 certain constructions of various claim phrases from
`
` 09:17:41 20 the 870 patent; is that correct?
`
` 21 A. Correct.
`
` 22 Q. And these are constructions that were
`
` 23 rendered by the board?
`
` 24 A. Correct.
`
` 09:17:49 25 Q. Okay. Did you apply these constructions in
` 13
`
` UNCERTIFIED ROUGH DRAFT -- NOT FOR OFFICIAL USE
`
`
` 1 UNCERTIFIED ROUGH DRAFT -- NOT FOR OFFICIAL USE
`
` 2 your work in this case?
`
` 3 A. I did.
`
` 4 Q. Okay. Now, sir, earlier you had told me
`
` 09:18:06 5 you had not been deposed before and I believe in
`
` 6 your report you say you have never acted as an
`Page 12
`
`
`
`RF-060915.txt
`
` 7 expert before; is that correct?
`
` 8 A. As an expert witness.
`
` 9 Q. That's correct?
`
` 09:18:17 10 A. Correct.
`
` 11 Q. Okay. Have you ever attempted to act as an
`
` 12 expert witness but were not able to for any reason?

`
` 21 an expert in court?
`
` 22 A. I was once being considered for an expert
`
` 23 position opposing counsel objected this was not in a
`
` 24 court but they managed to dismiss me from the case
`
` 09:19:08 25 so it never started.

`
` 6 Q. Do you know why you were dismissed from the
`
` 7 case?

`
` 9 to do with my background having had had experience
`Page 13
`
`
`
`RF-060915.txt
`
` 09:19:38 10 with certain firms that they did not appreciate.
`

`
` 12 information about what exactly per expired --
`
` 13 transpired in terms of the proceedings to dismiss me
`
` 14 again I heard they did not allow me to continue.
`
` 09:20:04 15 Q. Do you know that a federal district court
`
` 16 determined that you should not receive April wills
`
` 17 confidential information because of the nature of
`
` 18 your business?
`
` 19 A. That's -- that's probably what it was but
`
` 09:20:17 20 I'm not certain what exactly transpired.

`
` 22 preceding set of section is in terms of court let me
