`

`

`
` Number 6,968,459?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. If I refer to that patent as the '459
`
` patent, you'll understand what I'm referring to?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And you understand that you're here
`
` today to testify under oath?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And that means you need to give true
`
` and complete answers to the best of your ability
`
` to my questions?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. So my job today is to ask you
`
` questions. Your job is to answer my questions
`
` to the best of your ability. If you don't
`
` understand one of my questions, would you
`
` -- will you ask me to -- to rephrase it?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And you understand -- you understand
`
` that if you answer my questions, I'm just going
`
` to assume that -- that you understood them,
`
` okay?
`
` A. Yes.

`
` Q. What did you do to prepare for today's
`
` deposition?
`
` A. I went through some -- the -- the
`
` -- the documents on the weekend, and I also
`
` spent all the day yesterday going through the
`
` documents.
`
` Q. Did you meet with any attorneys in
`
` this case?
`
` A. I met with the attorneys yesterday.
`
` Q. About how long did you meet with the
`
` attorneys?
`
` A. Oh, most of the day, mm-hmm.
`
` Q. Now, you mentioned you reviewed some
`
` documents. Maybe it would help you if we turned
`
` to, let's see, I thought it was Paragraph 1 of
`
` your declaration.
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Do you -- by looking at this list,
`
` do you recall which documents you reviewed in
`
` preparing for your deposition?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Which -- which documents -- so,
`
` actually, maybe we can make this easy, did you
`
` review all of the documents that are on this
`
` list?

`
` A. I reviewed all of the documents on
`
` this list. I didn't read all the documents
`
` front to back, letter for letter, that are on
`
`Page 7
`
` this list.
`
` Q. Got it.
`
` And were there any documents in
`
` preparing for your deposition that you reviewed
`
` that are not on this list?
`
` A. There are the patents themselves, the
`
` '459 and the Bensimon patent.
`
` Q. Okay. Besides the '459 patent and the
`
` Bensimon patent, were there any other documents
`
` you reviewed in preparation for your deposition?
`
` A. Not that I recall.
`
` Q. Now, turning to your declaration, this
`
` list, you know, sets forth the documents you
`
` reviewed in preparing your declaration. Are
`
` there any documents that are not on this list
`
` here in Paragraph 1 of your declaration that
`
` you reviewed when you were preparing your
`
` declaration?
`
` A. I have a list of documents that I
`
` reviewed for the declaration in the declaration.
`
` Q. Isn't that what we're looking at right
`
` now?

`
` A. Of course, yes.
`
` As I stated, there's also the actual
`
` patents in question, the '459 patent and the
`
` Bensimon patent.
`
` Q. And in preparing your declaration,
`
` besides the Bensimon and the '459 patent and the
`
` documents that are listed in Paragraph 1, were
`
` there any other documents you reviewed in
`
` preparing your declaration?
`
` A. Not that I recall.
`
` Q. How much time do you think you
`
` spent, approximately, in drafting this
`
` supplemental declaration?
`
` A. I do not remember the exact time I
`
` spent on it. It was over a period of several
`
` days.
`
` Q. Can you give me a ballpark?
`
` A. It was a number of hours over a period
`
` of several days.
`
` Q. Less than 20?
`
` A. I don't recall the exact number.
`
` Q. Was it less than a hundred?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Okay. So maybe less than 50?
`
` A. Probably. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

`
` Q. Okay. Now, you mentioned earlier
`
` that there was a difference -- you said that
`
` you didn't -- you reviewed but you didn't read,
`
` I recall you saying that. It says here in
`
` Paragraph 1 that you reviewed these documents
`
` in forming your opinions, expressing the
`
` declarations. What do you mean by review here
`
` in Paragraph 1?
`
` A. Your previous question was in the
`
` scope of preparing for this deposition over the
`
` last few days.
`
` Q. Mm-hmm.
`
` A. The scope of your question right now
`
` is in the context of this document, --
`
` Q. Yeah. That's right.
`
` A. -- referring to this document, so
`
` that's a different question.
`
` Q. Yeah, I know it is. That's why I was
`
` asking. You had mentioned in your answer that
`
` it seemed like there was some difference in your
`
` mind between reviewing and reading, and it says
`
` here in Paragraph 1 review.
`
` A. I reviewed all these documents, as
`
` well as the patents themselves, in preparing
`
` this document. Even in preparing this document,

`
` I did not necessarily read every single word in
`
` all of these documents.
`
` Q. So give me an idea, what would a
`
` review, in your mind, be in terms of, you know,
`
` what did you do, say, to review your
`
` declaration?
`
` A. So, for example, in my declaration,
`
` I did read the parts that I understand are
`
` related to the items being instituted by the
`
` Board. I did not spend a lot of time on the
`
` parts that were not instituted by the Board.
`
` Q. And what about Dr. Goldschlag's
`
` deposition, did you read all of that?
`
` A. I did not read all of that. I
`
` read the parts that I cited and reviewed it
`
` generally.
`
` Q. And what about, if we turn to Page 4,
`
` the petition, did you read the petition again,
`
` all of it?
`
` A. I only reviewed those parts of the
`
` petition that were relevant to this supplemental
`
` document.
`
` Q. And the decision to institute Inter
`
` Partes Review, did you read that?
`
` A. I only reviewed the parts of that that

`
` are relevant to this document. In particular,
`
` what the Board instituted and what the Board
`
` didn't.
`
` Q. So, actually -- and that raises
`
` a question to me, so you said that you only
`
` reviewed the parts that were relevant to your
`
` opinion here. So can I assume that if you
`
` didn't cite, for example, the petition in
`
` this document that you didn't review any of it?
`
` A. I did review the document as related
`
` to this petition. I remember looking at it,
`
` this is several weeks ago now that I -- I -- I
`
` prepared this document. I don't recall which
`
` parts of it I actually read.
`
` Q. And turning on to the patent owner's
`
` response to the petition, did you read the
`
` entire patent owner response?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And what about the transcript of your
`
` deposition on May 4th, 2017, did you read your
`
` transcript?
`
` A. No. I only reviewed -- I only looked
`
` at it overall globally.
`
` Q. What do you mean you looked at it
`
` overall globally?

`
` A. I flipped through it looking at some
`
` key parts.
`
` Q. And the declaration of Dr. Goldschlag,
`
` did you review that?
`
` A. I reviewed the parts of it that were
`
` relevant to this document; however, I did not
`
` read the entire document.
`
` Q. So the '459 patent describes both
`
` user-specific and device-specific security
`
` information, correct?
`
` A. You asked me to summarize the '459
`
` patent in its totality?
`
` Q. I don't think I asked you that at all.
`
` I asked you a simple question, does the '459
`
` patent describe both user-specific and
`
` device-specific security information?
`
` A. The '459 patent goes -- has in it the
`
` terms device-specific. I don't recall if it
`
` has, specifically, the term user-specific.
`
` You're asking me to recall the patent from
`
` memory. Can I pull the patent out and look
`
` at it?
`
` Q. I can give you a copy of it, if that
`
` will help.

` Exhibit 1001.
`
` Do you recognize this document?
`
` MR. STEIN: Thanks.
`

`
` BY MR. BLOCK:
`
` Q. This is the '459 patent that we've
`
` just been discussing, correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. So I guess my -- so let's start
`
` with a simple question: You agree that the
`
` '459 patent describes device-specific security
`
` information, right?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Does the '459 patent describe
`
` user-specific security information?
`
` A. I don't recall if it uses that
`
` specific term.
`
` Q. Let me see if I can help you out here.
`
` Do you know if you have any opinions
`
` regarding whether the '459 patent describes
`
` user-specific information?

` question.
`
` A. I was reviewing Part 3A of my
`
` declaration, which talks about device-specific
`
` security information.
`
` Q. Okay.
`
` A. So I notice that, as an example in
`
` the '459 patent, in Figure 2 it does refer to
`
` user-specific security -- get -- Block 208
`
` refers to get user-specific security information
`
` from the user. So that's an example in the '459
`
` patent where it uses the term user-specific.
`
` Q. And do you have an opinion on what
`
` user-specific information means?
`
` A. I did not define the term in my
`
` report.

`
` Q. So you have no opinion on what
`
` user-specific information means?
`
` A. I was not asked to give a definition
`
` of that in my report.
`
` Q. Do you know the difference between
`
` user-specific information and device-specific
`
` information?
`
` A. In general, outside the context of
`
` my report, user-specific would be specific to
`
` a user, whereas device-specific is specific
`
` to a device. I do not believe that the
`
` device-specific specifically means unique,
`
` as you contend in your response.
`
` Q. Now, when you say you did not opine on
`
` that in your report, you're referring to both
`
` reports, right?
`
` A. This declaration -- deposition, I
`
` understand, is about the supplemental report.
`
` I would have to actually reread my original
`
` report to see if I opined on that in my original
`
` report.
`
` Q. So you don't know what you opined on
`
` in your original report?
`
` A. I have not memorized my original
`
` report.

`
` THE WITNESS: I did not memorize my
`

`
` BY MR. BLOCK:
`
` Q. So you said earlier that outside the
`
` context of your patent -- outside the context of
`
` the patent, user-specific information means
`
` information specific to the user, right?
`
` A. I don't believe I said that.
`
` Q. What did you say, then?
`
` A. I said, outside the context of my
`
` supplemental report, user-specific would be
`
` specific to the user, whereas device-specific
`
` would be specific to the device.
`
` MR. BLOCK: All right. I'm going to
`
` hand you your original declaration. This is
`
` Exhibit 1002.

`

`

`
` specifically, Paragraph 41.
`
` So here you lay out your understanding
`
` of the term user-specific information, is that
`
` right, in Paragraph 41?
`
` A. Here in my original report, dated
`
` -- here in my original report, I do lay out what
`
` device-specific infor -- the term user -- I do
`
` discuss the term user-specific security
`
` information.
`
` Q. And what does the term user-specific
`
` security information mean?
`
` MR. STEIN: Objection. Asked and
`
` answered.
`
` THE WITNESS: In the context of
`
` my original report, not in the context of
`
` my supplemental report -- correct -- in the
`
` supplemental report, I did not discuss this
`
` term. In the original report, I did discuss
`
` this term. And I ex -- I gave the explanation,
`
` it's not a definition, but user-specific

`
` retina scan.
`
` BY MR. BLOCK:
`
` Q. Can you read the first sentence of
`
` Paragraph 41 into the record, please?
`
` A. The above-identified challenge
`
` claims recite device-specific information and
`
` user-specific security information. In my
`
` opinion, these terms mean information specific
`
` to the device and information specific to the
`
` user.
`
` Q. Is that not a definition for the term
`
` user-specific security information?
`
` A. I was not asked to give a definition
`
` very explicitly in the context of a definition
`
` that the IPB means, but here I'm explaining what
`
` I believe these terms mean.
`
` Q. So when you say, in my opinion, these
`
` terms mean information specific to the device
`
` and information specific to the user, that's
`
` not a definition of user-specific security
`
` information --

`
` A. Elsewhere in this report, I do explain

`

`
` answer.
`
` Q. Okay. So I don't think that answered,
`
` actually, any part of my question, so I'm going
`
` to ask it again. Did your opinions change
`
` between your supplemental report and your
`
` original report?
`
` A. My supplemental report supplements the
`
` opinions in my original report, but if you're
`
` asking me about specific terms in the original
`
` report, I need to review the entire original
`
` report.
`
` Q. I'll ask my question again.
`
` Did your opinions change between your
`
` supplemental report and your original report?
`
` MR. STEIN: Objection. Asked and

`

`
` You're asking me questions about the original

`
` these terms. I discuss device-specific security
`
` information multiple times in the original
`
` report.
`
` BY MR. BLOCK:
`
` Q. Yeah. So I'm not asking about these
`
` terms. I'm asking about any of your opinions
`
` -- so you set forth some opinions in your
`

`
` A. Yes.

`

`
` you mean that your supplemental report changed
`
` any of your opinions in your original report?
`
` MR. STEIN: Objection. Asked and
`

`
` THE WITNESS: The supplemental report
`
` builds upon the original report and, thus, it
`
` does add detail on top of the opinions in the
`
` original report.
`
` BY MR. BLOCK:
`
` Q. So would it be fair to say that it
`
` adds detail but does not change any of the
`
` opinions in your original report?
`

`

`
` and vague question about these reports. I
`

`
` changes in your opinions between the reports?
`
` A. Opinion is a loaded word in the
`
` context of this discussion. In my supplemental
`
` report, I give additional information on what I
`
` feel that device-specific security information
`
` is specific to the device and not unique to the
`
` device. I also opine that on -- I also
`
` supplement my discussion on user-specific
`
` information to include the example, if it's
`
` necessary, that user-specific information, such
`
` as a password, can actually be unique, if that
`
` is necessary to satisfy the claim construction.
`
` But my supplemental report builds on top of the
`
` original report. I just gave you two examples
`
` on the way in which it builds on top of it.
`
` Q. In both of those examples you just
`
` gave me, you've held those opinions since your
`
` first report, right?
`
` A. I was asked to opine on those specific
`
` aspects of my first report in the second report,
`
` so I added them to my second report.
`
` Q. So it's fair to say that you -- that
`
` you never thought device-specific information
`
` meant that it needed to be unique, correct?

`
` Mischaracterization.
`
` THE WITNESS: In the context of my
`
` supplemental report, device-specific information
`
` does not have to be unique. The '459 patent
`
` gives examples of device-specific information
`
` that is not unique to the device, and I discuss
`
` those in my report.
`
` BY MR. BLOCK:
`
` Q. When you were drafting your original
`
` report, though, did you think device-specific
`
` information needed to be unique?
`
` A. I have to reread my original report to
`
` answer the question.
`
` Q. Now, when you say you have to reread
`
` it, are you going to reread your entire report?
`
` A. I'll read the portions I feel are
`
` relevant.
`
` Q. Sure.
`
` A. Could you restate your question,
`
` please?
`
` Q. When you were drafting your
`
` original report, did you think device-specific
`
` information needed to be unique?
`
` A. In Paragraph 37 of my report, I state
`
` -- opine that I understand the above-identified
`

`215-241-1000 ~ 610-434-8588 ~ 302-571-0510 ~ 202-803-8830

`
` challenged claims recite device-specific
`
` security information. In my view, that means
`
` information that is specific to the storage
`
` device -- storage device that is used to secure
`
` access to the storage device.
`
` I don't recall that I go on defining
`
` the difference between specific and unique, but
`
` to me the plain and ordinary usage of the word
`
` specific is broader than the plain and ordinary
`
` usage of unique. Unique means a one-to-one
`
` mapping. Specific just means it is just -- it
`
` is specific to that device and, thus, it can be
`
` specific to other devices.
`
` I give examples in my supplemental
`
` report where I very explicitly supplement my
`
` definition here to characterize how unique is
`
` different than specific in the context of the
`
` '459 patent.
`
` In the '459 patent, it gives examples
`
