`
`Q.
`
`When did you first begin writing these

`

`
`A.
`
`As material that I
`
`thought was illustrative o:
`
`the scope and depth of the CompuSonics system. Withou'
`
`being too redundant,
`
`trying to find enough exhibits to
`
`cover all aspects o_ ,his system.

`
`In paragraph 5 of your Declaration 1133 and
`
`Declaration 1335, you list a number of exhibits;

`(O"" the record at 09:15:07)
`
`(Back on the record at 9:15:08)
`
`(Record read.)
`
`A.
`
`That's what
`
`I was trying to say is the exhibits
`
`are not all listed by number
`
`in one paragraph,
`
`so you'll
`
`find numerois other exhibits as we go through this that
`
`are documents tqat I also provided,

`I believe. Not all

`
`A.
`
`Yes.
`
`Q.
`
`How did you select which materials you used :
`
`inclusion in your Declaration?
`
`A.
`
`I tried to choose materials that are
`
`illustrative o_ the jeatures and scope o:
`
`the system
`
`without being overly redundant,
`
`so I tried to get enough
`
`good exhibits to make the point but not overkill.
`
`Q.
`
`In the materials you did not
`
`include in your
`
`Declarations, ?xhibits ‘T33 and 1335,
`
`those materials
`
`were not necessary to show the public ‘eatures o‘ the
`
`CompuSoqics system;
`
`is that correct?
`
`A.
`
`No.
`
`The CompuSonics system was described many
`
`times in di
`
`"erent ways
`
`co di
`
`"erent audiences during
`
`the period we were promoting it.

`
`Q.
`
`Have you ever served as an expert
`
`in a case
`
`involving digital, audio, or video?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`What was that case, or cases?
`
`A. Without having my business files in ”ronL o.
`
`me, it's di
`
`”iculL to remember which law firm is
`
`attached to which case. But this has been going on
`
`many years, probably since l999.

`So I
`
`just can't --
`
`don't have a list memorized.
`
`Q.
`
`Do you have any examples —— do you know o:
`
`examples?
`
`A.
`
`A few years ago,
`
`there was a case that I'm not
`
`sure what
`
`the parties were besides Apple, and this was
`
`handled by Weil Gotshal,
`
`the law firm in Palo Alto.
`
`So
`
`it was their big case.
`
`I believe it settled in 2007.
`
`And I provided a video deposition in that case and
`
`consultant services.

`Q.

`A.
`
`What was the mission of CompuSonics?

`
`What products did CompuSonics sell?
`
`A range of hardware and software products,

`including professional digital audio equipment,

`
`There are a lot of
`
`concepts
`
`that CompuSonics came up with and promoted
`
`,ha, we never
`
`got any revenue
`
`for.
`
`We certainly talked about
`
`everything and promoted it,
`
`but only certain ideas
`
`generated money.
`
`Q.
`
`You listed a pro:
`
`fessional product; what was
`
`fessional product?
`
`It was a group o:
`
`products that we collectively
`
`called
`
`DSP 2000,
`
`so there would be a 2002, 2004, 2000
`
`whatever.
`
`Q.
`
`Your testimony also listed that there was a
`
`broadcast service recorder;
`
`what was that?
`
`A.
`
`We had two models,
`
`at least in
`
`recall the
`
`DSP 1200 and the
`
`DSP 1500.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Do you recall any other model
`
`in that
`
`field?
`
`There was one,
`
`just can't remember what we
`
`called it.
`
`It was one based on the optical disc drive
`
`but
`
`for broadcast use,
`
`broadcast style outputs,
`
`but
`
`can't
`
`remember what
`
`the model number was called.
`
`Q.
`
`Now you men"
`
`:ioned a third category o:
`
`products,
`
`the consumer disc recorders;
`
`what were those recorders
`
`called?
`
`A.
`
`Most o:
`
`them were
`
`{DOWI1 as
`
`DSP 1000s, and there
`
`few varia
`
`:ions on that basic model,

`but

`for most o_
`
`the itera -ions,

`DSP 1000.

`
`When did it go ou- of business?

`

`
`That was the generic for any combination of our
