`
` Is this one of the declarations that you wrote
`
`regarding this case?
`
` A Yes, it appears to be.
`
` Q Now, in addition to this corrected declaration
`
`for the '604 Patent you also wrote an earlier
`
`09:11:49
`
`declaration for the '604 Patent; correct?
`
` A Yes, I did.
`
` Q And as I understand it the only difference
`
`between that earlier declaration and this corrected
`
`declaration was the inclusion in the corrected
`
`09:12:01
`
`declaration of a sworn oath by you saying that the
`
`declaration was correct; is that right?
`
` A Yes.
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
`09:12:16
`
` Q In addition to this declaration regarding the
`
`'604 Patent you also authored a declaration in regard to
`
`the '775 Patent; correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And for the '775 declaration you also authored
`
`09:12:30
`
`both an original and a corrected declaration; is that
`
`correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. And the corrected declaration has been

`
`Exhibit 1219. It's entitled "Corrected Declaration of
`
`Antony Hosking, Ph.D., Concerning Invalidity of United
`
`States Patent No. 6,163,775." I'm handing you a copy of
`
`that declaration.
`
` Is that the declaration you authored regarding
`
`09:13:11
`
`the '775 Patent?
`
` A Yes, it appears to be.
`
` Q And as in the '604 Patent declaration do you
`
`understand that the only difference between your
`
`corrected '775 declaration and the original declaration
`
`09:13:38
`
`is the inclusion of a sworn oath that the declaration is
`
`true and correct on the last page?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Are you aware of any errors in your corrected
`
`'604 declaration?
`
`09:14:05
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: The patent -- the declaration
`
`represents my opinions.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q Do the declarations represent your entire
`
`09:14:19
`
`opinions on the '604 and the '775 patents?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: If I was asked to give opinions
`
`they were with respect to specific questions regarding
`
`those patents, so I may have further opinions to offer

`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q With respect to the opinions that you
`
`understood you were asked to render, do the corrected
`
`'604 and '775 declarations represent your complete
`
`09:14:44
`
`opinion?
`
` A Yes, I believe so.
`
` Q Back to my first question are you aware of any
`
`errors in the corrected '604 declaration?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Same okay.
`
`09:15:02
`
` THE WITNESS: With respect to the opinions I
`
`gave I believe they represent my opinions accurately.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q So you're not aware of any errors in the '604
`
`declaration?
`
` A No.
`
`09:15:10
`
` Q Are you aware of any errors in the '775
`
`declaration?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I give the same answer with
`
`09:15:16
`
`respect to that question.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q And the answer would be?
`
` A I'm not aware of any errors excepting these
`
`are the opinions that I've given.

`
`Page 12
`
` Q All right. For the remainder of this
`
`deposition I am going to refer to the Enfish patents as
`
`a combination of the both of 6,151,604 Patent and also
`
`the Patent No. 6,163,775 unless I say differently.
`
` Is that okay?
`
`09:15:50
`
` A That's fine with me. If you want to
`
`abbreviate it to '775 and '604 that would be fine too.
`
` Q I'll try to do that for all our sakes.
`
` When you were preparing your two declarations
`
`had you read Microsoft's petitions in this case?
`
`09:16:07
`
` A I had read the petitions, indeed.
`
` Q Also, in preparing your declarations had you
`
`read the Patent and Trademark Appeal Boards decisions to
`
`institute the interparty's review to the 559 to 563
`
`IPRs?
`
`09:16:38
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes, I read those decisions.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q In forming your opinions that are set forth in
`
`your declaration have you read any materials from the
`
`09:16:47
`
`district court case between Enfish and Microsoft?
`
` A I have seen some materials from the district
`
`court case.
`
` Q And what materials are those?

`
`exactly what those materials were.
`
` Q Have you read Enfish's infringement
`
`contentions in the district court case?
`
` A Yes, I believe so.
`
` Q Have you read the court's Markman ruling in
`
`09:17:19
`
`the district court case?
`
` A I'm not sure that I have. I may have done.
`
` Q Do you understand that the court's Markman
`
`ruling sets forth the court's constructions for various
`
`terms in the two patents?
`
`09:17:33
`
` A I'm aware of that fact, yes.
`
` Q So but you're not certain whether you read the
`
`court's Markman order?
`
` A I may have done so. I do not recall.
`
` Q Okay. In preparing your declarations did you
`
`09:17:44
`
`review any source code?
`
` A I have reviewed some source code, yes.
`
` Q What source code is that?
`
` A Some early product source code was small talk
`
`source code.
`
`09:18:02
`
` Q When you say, "early product," are you
`
`referring to a product built by Enfish?
`
` A I believe it's a product that was built by
`
`Enfish, yes.
`
` Q Have you reviewed any other Enfish code?

`
` A No, I have not.
`
` Q Where did you understand that the small talk
`
`Enfish code that you reviewed to have come from?
`
` A I believe it was filed with the patent -- it
`
`was produced with the patents.
`
`09:18:33
`
` Q Okay. And that would be the '604 and '775
`
`Patent?
`
` A I'm not sure which of the two.
`
` Q Okay.
`
` A Perhaps both.
`
`09:18:41
`
` Q What other source code did you review prior to
`
`writing your declarations?
`
` A That's the only source code I've reviewed.
`
` Q So you haven't reviewed any Microsoft source
`
`code?
`
`09:18:53
`
` A No, I have not.
`
` Q At any point did you want to review any
`
`Microsoft source code?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: No, I did not.
`
`09:19:06

`
`included as part of your declarations, what other
`
`material did you review in forming your opinions?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I believe I've given all of the
`
`09:19:50
`
`documents that I've reviewed in forming those opinions
`
`by reference into the declaration.
`
` MR. LEARY: Okay.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q So as far as you know other than the documents
`
`09:19:58
`
`that are in the declaration you didn't review any other
`
`documents --
`
` A Correct.
`
` Q -- in forming your opinion?
`
` A Correct.
`
`09:20:07
`
` Q Are you familiar with a database known as DB2?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And what is that?
`
` A It's a database product. I believe it's an
`
`IBM product, but I would have to refresh my memory.
`
`09:20:25
`
` Q You're familiar with a database product from
`
`Oracle?
`

`
` Q Are you familiar with any databases from a
`
`company known as Ingres?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And that's I-n-g-r-e-s; correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
`09:20:49
`
` Q Okay. How are you familiar with the DB2
`
`database?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I'm aware of it as a product in
`
`the marketplace.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
`09:21:05
`
` Q Have you worked with DB2 before?
`
` A I don't recall.
`
` Q Have you worked with Oracle before?
`
` A Yes.
`
`09:21:14
`
` Q Of the databases I just mentioned what other
`
`databases in addition to Oracle have you worked with?
`
` A I believe I've worked with Ingres. Postgres
`
`is a research database that was used that was an
`
`extension of Ingres. I've worked with Research Database
`
`09:21:41
`
`Systems. I have to refresh my memory on which ones they
`
`were, but there was certainly quite a number of them.
`
` Q Between Oracle and Ingres, what are you more
`
`familiar with?
`
` A Probably the Oracle.

`
` Q Okay. And what's the extent of your
`
`experience with Oracle?
`
` A I have used it for project work with students.
`
`I've used it in just -- I've never used it in a serious
`
`commercial sense.
`
`09:22:25
`
` Q Are you familiar with the term "database
`
`administrator" as it applies to an Oracle database?
`
` A Yes, I understand -- I believe I'm familiar
`
`with the term, yes.
`
` Q That's sometimes referred to as a DBA;
`
`09:22:39
`
`correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Have you had any experience as a DBA?
`
` A No, I've not.
`
` Q Okay. Within Oracle are you familiar with the
`
`09:22:46
`
`term "DDL," as in database definition language?
`
` A Yes, I am.
`
` Q What is DDL?
`
` A It's a language for describing the definition
`
`of your database.
`
`09:23:14
`
` Q Is that a language that a DBA in Oracle would
`
`typically use?
`
` A Yes, it is.

`ANTONY LLOYD HOSKING - 5/14/2014
`
`Page 18
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q How, if at all, does the DDL language and the
`
`DML language differ with respect to their purpose?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I would have to refresh my
`
`09:23:50
`
`memory with respect to documentation to give a precise
`
`answer to that question.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q What's your general understanding of any
`
`differences between DDL and DML?
`
`09:24:01
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Same objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: DML is the language by which the
`
`data can be manipulated and understood.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q And how does that differ from DDL?
`
`09:24:13
`
` A The definition language is to describe the
`
`structure and form of the data.
`
` Q So, DDL describes structure and -- at a high
`
`level. DML is used to manipulate data within that
`
`structure; is that correct?
`
`09:24:49
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; mischaracterizes.
`
` THE WITNESS: I would have to refresh my
`
`memory, but the intention is to be able to manipulate
`
`the data, yes.

`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q And when you say, "the intention is to
`
`manipulate the data," you mean the DML -- the intention
`
`of DML, sorry, is to manipulate data; correct?
`
` A I would have to refresh my memory with respect
`
`09:25:11
`
`to the specific details of DDL versus DML.
`
` Q But is my statement correct at least with
`
`respect to your general understanding of DML?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I can't answer that question
`
`09:25:20
`
`without refreshing my memory with respect to the precise
`
`definitions of those terms.
`
` MR. LEARY: Okay.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q Do you understand that a command known as
`
`09:25:40
`
`create table in Oracle is an example of DDL language?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Create table is actually an
`
`example of a command within the SQL programming language
`
`for database systems.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
`09:26:01
`
` Q Would you consider create table to be a DDL
`
`command?
`
` A Creating a table I wouldn't consider to be a
`
`DDL command, but it's certainly creating a definition of

`

`
`09:26:43
`
` THE WITNESS: I believe -- and I'm stretching
`

`
`ago. I can't recall exactly when that was.
`
` MR. LEARY: Okay.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
`09:27:10
`
` Q Are you familiar with the term "secondary
`

`

`

`
`with the term, no.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q Have you ever heard of secondary
`
`considerations of nonobviousness?
`
`09:27:21
`
` A It's a legal term. I'm not a lawyer. I don't
`
`know the precise definitions of the term.
`
`09:27:31
`
` Q Have you heard of that term before?
`
` A I may have heard of the term.

`

`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q Have you reviewed in this case any material
`
`09:28:07
`

`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`

`
`I don't have a precise understanding of the term so I'm
`
`09:28:23
`
`not sure that I can answer the question.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q So at least as far as you know, though, you
`
`didn't review any material that you were aware

`
`09:28:36
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Same objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: I would have to refresh my

`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I don't believe it would be
`
`necessary to form my opinions. I'm not sure what the
`
`evaluation would be that you're talking about. Is it an
`
`opinion of some individual or is it a company-wide
`
`09:29:24
`
`opinion or is it a technical opinion? I don't know.
`
`BY MR. LEARY:
`
` Q So if you were to understand that Microsoft
`
`had performed a technical evaluation of Enfish's
`
`technology and the workings of Enfish's products that
`
`09:29:36
`
`are covered by the patents in your declaration, would
`
`you be interested in knowing what that technical
`
`evaluation was?
`
` MS. SIMPSON: Objection; form and foundation.
`
` THE WITNESS: I don't know what interest I
`
`09:29:53
`
`would have in it other than if it had some technical
`
`information that informed me with respect to product,
`
`but I'm perfectly happy with understanding materials
`
`that I've independently obtained.
