`
`a different date. My law clerk, who is so familiar with this
`
`case,
`
`is going to be leaving in November.
`
`I'm going to be in Korea giving a patent speech.
`
`I
`
`actually may think about canceling it because these patent
`
`cases are driving me crazy. And as soon as I'm eligible to
`
`stop taking patent cases -- I'm serious. Cases like yours have
`
`ruined me on this system because of the BS that goes on in
`
`these cases.
`
`But I -- you have four lawyers over there.
`
`You don't --
`
`you have a gigantic team on the Finjan side.
`
`Somebody can try
`
`this case.
`
`It doesn't have to be you.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Well,
`
`I agree, Your Honor.
`
`THE COURT:
`
`So you're going to try it on October 29th.
`
`And it's going to be every single issue left in the case is
`
`going to go to trial.
`
`But you're not going to get 50 hours of time per side.
`
`It's going to be what you would get in a normal patent case,
`
`which with some judges it's 10 hours. Maybe you'll get more
`
`than that.
`
`I have to wait until the final pretrial conference.
`
`Then it would be over. O-v-e-r. And it will be the

`
`in Judge Bencivengo's court in the
`
`Federal Circuit's problem.
`
`What did you want to say?
`
`MR. ANDRE: Your Honor, if it was just me having a
`
`conflict,
`
`I wouldn't raise it for the Court. But Finjan has a
`
`trial set for October 29th,

`
`Southern District of California.
`
`THE COURT: You have plenty of lawyers here.
`
`MR. ANDRE:
`
`I know, but we don't have the witnesses.
`
`Mr. Hartstein, who is Finjan's CEO, he is here today.
`
`THE COURT:
`
`Too bad.
`
`MR. ANDRE:
`
`He can't be here and there.
`
`becauseyoucanalwaysjustvideot.‘apethetestimony.
`
`
`
`THE COURT: Videotape MaybeI'llletyoudoitby
`
`I have a law clerk who is going to be leaving.
`
`I'm not
`
`going to -- you have multiple lawyers. You've got multiple
`
`witnesses. You can preserve the testimony.
`
`And that other case will settle anyway.
`
`I know how it
`
`works. My law clerk,
`
`though,
`
`is not going to extend just so
`
`Mr. Andre can have a stand around the water cooler.
`
`No. You're going to go to trial on October 29th.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Your Honor, we want to go to trial.
`
`I
`
`have experts who are overlapping.
`
`THE COURT: No.
`
`I cannot -- my law clerk is leaving
`
`in November.
`
`I have to get the case done by then.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Could I ask for, maybe,
`
`the Court's
`
`assistance if I were to ask Judge Bencivengo to move our trial
`
`date there so our witnesses could actually show up at trial?
`
`THE COURT:
`
`Go ahead. You can blame me.
`
`Blame me and
`
`blame my law clerk.

`
`MR. ANDRE: Okay.
`
`So right now we're scheduled for
`
`October 21st in this case --
`
`THE COURT:
`
`In my case?
`
`MR. ANDRE:
`
`-- and October 29th in one in San Diego.
`
`So I'll talk to Judge Bencivengo.
`
`THE COURT: October 21 in my case.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Yeah.
`
`So --
`
`COURT:
`
`I said 29.
`
`I meant 21.
`
`people in so many parts of the country that you have to be in
`
`MR. ANDRE: We'll talk to Judge Bencivengo. We'll --
`
`THE COURT:
`
`I'm not asking -- don't say that
`
`
`
`Judge Alsup is ordering. No. Youcanvideotapethetestimony
`
`inmycase,andIwouldallowyoutopresentitbyvideotape.
`
`Thatwouldbefine.Orjustaregulardeposition.
`
`But she is leaving, and it would be a huge, huge problem
`
`for me if I have to bring a new law clerk up to speed on
`
`Finjan, or Juniper for that matter.
`
`She understands this
`
`technology, and I need her on this case.
`
`MR. ANDRE: And, Your Honor, with that in mind,
`
`is
`
`there any -- I know there are some rules that if -- can counsel
`
`leave and come back?
`
`THE COURT: You can leave and come back.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Okay.
`
`THE COURT:
`
`I'11l give you flexibility.
`
`I'll explain to the jury that Finjan is suing so many
