`
`A. Claim 26 -- Claim 26 which references
`
`Claim 17.
`
`Q. Okay. And you made this one red, because
`
`that's the one you --
`
`A. That's the one that's under consideration.
`
`Q. Okay. So here's the language from 17. You've
`
`got to take all the retrieved information and there must
`
`be sorting according to pricing types.
`
`Can you remind the jury with the notebooks in
`
`1 0
`
`front of you what a pricing type is?
`
`11
`
`A. That's right. Again, these were condition
`
`12
`
`types where these silos are, and in the context of
`
`13
`
`pricing, we all agreed that these are pricing types,
`
`14
`
`these silos.
`
`15
`
`Q. And, Dr. Boyd, in your opinion, do the accused
`
`16
`
`products sort according to pricing type?
`
`17
`
`18
`
`A. According to pricing type, no.
`
`They sort within one of these silos. They
`
`19
`
`don't sort across the silos, so they can't sort
`
`20
`
`according to pricing type.
`
`21
`
`Q. So after the data is retrieved, the sorting
`
`22 might take place within discounts?
`
`23
`
`24
`
`A. Yes. Yes.
`
`For example, yeah, within this stack,
`
`25
`
`hierarchical access could do sorting within that stack.

`
`A. But it doesn't have access. It doesn't use
`
`any of the information in the other piles to do the
`
`sorting.
`
`a. I see. So it pulls all the discounts. It's
`
`sorting only those things?
`
`A. Yes. Only the discounts or only the base
`
`price or only the taxes.
`
`a. And if it's pulling just discounts and sorting
`
`10
`
`only those, does it have to sort according to whether
`
`11
`
`within that stack of discounts something is a tax or a
`
`12
`
`freight or a base price?
`
`13
`
`14
`
`15
`
`16
`
`A. No. They're all discounts within that pile.
`
`a. Okay.
`
`A. It's the discount pile.
`
`a. And did Trilogy's patent use a different
`
`17
`
`system?
`
`18
`
`19
`
`20
`
`A.
`
`ltdid.
`
`a. How so?
`
`A. Well, as Dr. Nettles referred to with his
`
`21
`
`fishing net exam-- example, they kind of scoop up
`
`22
`
`everything, all of the different stuff. And, again,
`
`23
`
`this goes back to the whole architecture of the system.
`
`24
`
`They scoop it up and then do the sorting across all of
`
`25
`
`this stuff at the same time.

`

`
`1 0
`
`11
`
`12
`
`13
`
`rebates and freights and base prices, then they have to
`
`tease those apart and put them into the stacks?
`
`A. Right. That's just the architecture. That's
`
`the way they chose to build the system.
`
`a.
`
`In the SAP system, the stacks exist before
`
`retrieval?
`
`A. Just like this, just like we talked about.
`
`a. So as an expert in this field, this
`
`requirement of sorting by pricing types, is that done by
`
`the accused products?
`
`A. No.
`
`a.
`
`Is it done by customers that use the accused
`
`14
`
`products?
`
`15
`
`A. There's no evidence of that effect. Actually,
`
`16
`
`they can't. Sorry.

`
`MR. BATCHELDER: Let's look at Slide 977,
`

`
`please.

`
`a. (By Mr. Batchelder) This is your overview of

`
`21
`
`opinions, denormalized numbers, retrieval, sorting of
`
`22
`
`both flavors.
`
