`
`·1· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Is it -- objection to form,
`
`·2· speculation.
`
`·3· · · A.· ·Yeah.· I don't -- I don't have any -- I don't
`
`·4· have any empirics on that.· I mean, I -- I think the
`
`·5· answer is the same that I gave for the safety issue.
`
`·6· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· Let's turn now to your
`
`·7· reasonable royalty analysis, Dr. Ugone.
`
`·8· · · · · · · · I believe you testified previously, you
`
`·9· did not perform an apportionment in your access system
`
`10· report, and I just wanted to see if that was the case
`
`11· for your implant report.
`
`12· · · · · · · · Did you perform an apportionment for
`
`13· reasonable royalty in your implant report?
`
`14· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form,
`
`15· mischaracterizing his prior testimony.
`
`16· · · A.· ·Just give me a second because I think I know
`
`17· what the answer is, but I'm trying to connect the dots
`
`18· back to the old report versus -- versus this report.
`
`19· · · · · · · · The value of the patented technology, I
`
`20· believe, is imbedded in the market test or the market
`
`21· results, and the market result is a comparable license
`
`22· that, given the comparability of the Warsaw or Alphatec
`
`23· license to the patents-in-suit, then that dictates, you
`
`24· know, a royalty rate that can be used.· Although, there
`
`25· are indicators why that's, from a defense perspective,
`

`16
`
`·1· conservatively high.· But I do not view in this
`
`·2· situation that a further apportionment -- that I would
`
`·3· do a further apportionment.· If I did a further
`
`·4· apportionment, that number would come down.
`
`·5· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· Okay.· Could you turn to
`
`·6· Paragraph 137(b) of your report.
`
`·7· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Did you say 137(b), Erik?
`
`·8· · · · · · · · MR. CARLSON:· I did.
`
`·9· · · A.· ·Okay.· Let me just catch up with you for a
`
`10· second here.
`
`11· · · · · · · · Okay.· I think I'm ready.
`
`12· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· Okay.· In Paragraph 137(b),
`
`13· your report has an opinion that:· As of January 2016,
`
`14· numerous claims of the Implant Patents had been deemed
`
`15· invalid, right?
`
`16· · · A.· ·That's my understand -- actually, you said I
`
`17· have an opinion.· I -- that's kind of a factual
`
`18· statement, not an opinion.
`
`19· · · Q.· ·Okay.· My mistake.· A factual statement.
`
`20· · · · · · · · So -- and you continue with:· While
`
`21· NuVasive appealed the invalidity ruling, the uncertainty
`
`22· surrounding the validity of the Implant Patents would
`
`23· have placed additional downward pressure on the
`
`24· to-be-determined royalty amount.
`
`25· · · · · · · · So, here, here, you have an opinion on the
`
`EXHIBIT 36
`Page 156

`

`

`Case 3:18-cv-00347-CAB-MDD Document 311-12 Filed 02/26/21 PageID.30367 Page 9 of
`16
`
`·1· effect of the invalidity ruling on the royalty amount,
`
`·2· right?
`
`·3· · · A.· ·Yes.
`
`·4· · · Q.· ·What's the basis for this opinion that
`
`·5· invalidity ruling has an impact on a reasonable royalty?
`
`·6· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form.
`
`·7· · · A.· ·I'm going to give the easiest possible answer
`
`·8· that if a patent is invalid, why should you pay
`
`·9· anything?· That's in the extreme.· I mean, if there were
`
`10· negotiations here.
`
`11· · · · · · · · What I'm trying to say is that -- and,
`
`12· frankly, you know, if this was happening, I might even
`
`13· ask for more legal guidance on how to handle this, when
`
`14· you have an invalidity ruling that's being appealed, but
`
`15· if there's a need for a hypothetical negotiation, how
`
`16· does the law even treat that?
`
`17· · · · · · · · So I'm just giving a -- you know,
`
`18· basically, an economic answer here that if there's less
`
`19· claims or the scope of the claims is less -- or if the
`
`20· patent's invalid, you know, why wouldn't there be
`
`21· downward pressure on the -- on the royalty rate?
`
`22· · · · · · · · Why wouldn't somebody pay full price under
`
`23· that state of the world at that moment in time?
`
`24· · · · · · · · You know, unless the court said to me, you
`
`25· know:· Well, you still have to assume that they're valid

`16
`
`·1· and you can't bring this in, then this wouldn't hold.
`
`·2· But I'm saying, given the state of the world and given
`
`·3· that numerous claims have been deemed invalid, and if
`
`·4· you just go with that state of the world, then the rest
`
`·5· of this paragraph holds.
`
`·6· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· So why do you mention the
`
`·7· court not letting this in for the specific opinion?
`
`·8· · · A.· ·You might have misinterpreted.
`
`·9· · · · · · · · Why did I mention letting the court coming
`
`10· this in?· I didn't say that.
`
`11· · · Q.· ·Okay.· I'm sorry.· But if I understood your
`
`12· answer to be that this was an economic perspective, but
`
`13· you may need to seek legal guidance to determine whether
`
`14· the court would let this in for a reasonable royalty
`
`15· analysis.· And I'm paraphrasing that --
`
`16· · · A.· ·No.· That -- that paraphrasing is like follow
`
`17· territory way off in right field.
`
`18· · · Q.· ·All right.· Bring back -- bring it back in
`
`19· play.
`
`20· · · A.· ·What I was saying is, I might need guidance
`
`21· from the court, not that they wouldn't let it in, but
`
`22· how does the court treat this situation?
`
`23· · · · · · · · Would the court say, no, no, no, you still
`
`24· need to assume that the patents, even the invalid claims
`
`25· are still valid, in which case, then, you know, I would

`
`·1· alter what I would say here.· That's what I was trying
`
`·2· to say.
`
`·3· · · Q.· ·Did you analyze the popularity and commercial
`
`·4· success of NuVasive's XLIF product when determining a
`
`·5· reasonable royalty, correct?
`
`·6· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form.
`
`·7· · · A.· ·I'm sorry.· Analyze -- just ask the question
`
`·8· again.· Sometimes I have a hard time hearing it.
`
`·9· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· Sure.
`
`10· · · · · · · · You analyzed the popularity and commercial
`
`11· success of NuVasive's XLIF product in determining --
`
`12· · · · · · · · THE REPORTER:· I'm sorry.· Wait.· Wait.
`
`13· Of NuVasive's something product.
`
`14· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· Dr. Ugone, you analyzed the
`
`15· popularity and commercial success of NuVasive's XLIF
`
`16· product when determining a reasonable royalty, correct?
`
`17· · · A.· ·That was taken into account, sure.
`
`18· · · Q.· ·Is it the most popular and commercially
`
`19· successful lateral platform on the market?
`
`20· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form.
`
`21· · · A.· ·I think as indicated by the relative market
`
`22· share of NuVasive, in the LLIF market segment, that it
`
`23· appears to be the best seller.
`
`24· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· So NuVasive is the most
`
`25· popular and commercially successful lateral platform on
`
`EXHIBIT 36
`Page 159

`16
`
`·1· the market, right?
`
`·2· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form.
`
`·3· · · A.· ·They appear to have roughly 50 percent share of
`
`·4· the lateral procedures that we're talking about here.
`
`·5· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· But NuVasive's 50 percent
`
`·6· share makes them the most popular commercially
`
`·7· successful lateral platform on the market, correct?
`
`·8· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form.
`
`·9· · · A.· ·I'm just hesitating on the word "popular."· It
`
`10· is the most commercially successful, I will agree with
`
`11· that.
`
`12· · · Q.· ·(By Mr. Carlson)· Okay.· Isn't it reasonable to
`
`13· believe that the more Alphatec can make its product
`
`14· similar to XLIF, the more likely it will compete
`
`15· directly with NuVasive?
`
`16· · · · · · · · MR. NISBET:· Objection to form.
`
`17· · · A.· ·I would think that there's a number of
`
`18· different considerations going on, including
`
`19· differentiating your product.· In other words, why
`
`20· should you buy Alphatec as opposed to NuVasive?
`
`21· · · · · · · · And this is where additional
`
`22· considerations come into play.· NuVasive may know that
`
`23· they've got 50 percent of the market.· They've always
`
`24· had 50 percent of the market.· There's 50 percent of the
`
`25· market they're not going to get.· One way to get extra
