`Thereupon,
` COURTNEY O'CONNELL,
`was called as a witness by counsel for Patent Owner,
`and having been duly sworn by the Notary Public, was
`examined and testified as follows:
` MR. RODKEY: As a preliminary matter, we
`want to deal with a clerical error that occurred with
`the Patent Office's PRPS system.
` The copies of TDA Exhibit Number 1040 in
`proceeding 2014-00131, and TDA Exhibit Number 1021 in
`proceeding CBM2014-00137, did not appear in the PRPS
`system. The Petitioner is going to get the clerical
`error corrected. The copies of those exhibits we
`have today have handwritten numbers on them, but the
`parties have agreed that for purposes of this
`deposition, that's sufficient.
` CROSS EXAMINATION BY COUNSEL FOR PATENT OWNER
`BY MR. RODKEY:
` Q. Good morning, Ms. O'Connell.
` A. Good morning.
` Q. And do you understand that you are under

`oath today and that means that you have to tell the
`truth?
` A. I do.
` Q. And we have a court reporter here today,
`so our conversation is being taken down. Because of
`that, I ask that you speak clearly and accurately so
`that she can take down the words that you say, and
`can you do that for me?
` A. Absolutely. I'll speak as clearly and
`accurately as I can.
` Q. Okay. And because we also have her with
`us, it's important that we don't talk over each
`other, interrupt each other, because then the
`transcript will be incomplete and there will be
`phrases that are very hard to follow. So I will try
`not to interrupt you, if you'll agree to try not to
`interrupt me.
` Is that okay?
` A. Sounds good.
` Q. And you understand that this proceeding,
`this transcript, can be used either in a court or an
`administrative proceeding, correct?

`
` A. I do.
` Q. Okay. And have you ever been deposed
`before?
` A. No, I have not.
` Q. Okay. I will kind of give you a little
`background on what we're going to do. Essentially
`I'm going to ask you some questions about your
`declarations and administrative proceedings. When I
`ask questions, I'm just trying to get more
`information. So I'm trying to trick you.
` If you have questions about what I've
`asked or you don't understand what I've asked, can
`you ask me for clarification?
` A. Absolutely.
` Q. Okay. And if you don't ask me for
`clarification, can I assume that you understood what
`I asked?
` A. Yes, you may.
` Q. And from time to time, TD Ameritrade's
`counsel may object to a question.
` Do you understand that unless you're
`instructed not to answer, you have to answer the

`question that I've asked?
` A. I do understand that I need to ask [sic]
`every question, unless my attorney says otherwise.
` Q. And I will try take a break about every
`hour, maybe every 45 minutes, depending on the
`situation. If you need a break at another time, feel
`free to ask me. The only thing that I ask, if I've
`asked a question, please go ahead and answer the
`question before we take a break.
` Is that okay.
` A. Understood.
` Q. And do you understand that during the
`breaks, you are not permitted to talk to anyone about
`your testimony here?
` A. I do understand.
` Q. And do you understand that includes TD
`Ameritrade's counsel?
` A. Understood.
` Q. And is there any reason that you cannot
`testify truthfully and accurately today?
` A. No. I will testify as truthfully and
`accurately as I possibly can.

`they're not the same?
` A. No, I do not, as the titles seem to match.
` MR. RODKEY: And the parties have
`stipulated that Exhibit 1008 in CBM2014-00137 and
`Exhibit 1004 in CBM2014-00131 were the same document
`filed.
` MR. STRANG: Yes, so long as those go
`along with the translated version of TSE.
` MR. RODKEY: Yes.

` Q. I am handing you what has been marked as
`Exhibit TDA 1007 in proceeding CBM2014-00137.
` MR. STRANG: Do you have another copy?
` Thanks.
`BY MR. RODKEY:
` Q. And do you recognize this document?
` A. I do not speak Japanese.
` Q. But do you recognize the document?
` A. Again, I don't speak Japanese. I'm
`confident that they are the same documents, both
`Japanese and English copy.

`
`the translation referred to in Exhibit 1 of your
`declaration?
` A. Again, I, you know, base the document
`title off of the English copy. But I would assume
`that they are, that is the original source document.
` Q. And the bottom right-hand corner of each
`of those documents, do you see the small black box?
` A. The small black box labeled "Exhibit DX
`179"?
` Q. Yes.
` A. Yes, I do see that box.
` Q. And does that appear the same in both of
`those documents?
` A. The box does appear the same.
` Q. And do you see a number that says "TSE,"
`followed by a number of zeros and a number at the
`end?
` A. Yes, I do.
` Q. And does that appear the same?
` A. The numbers do appear the same.
` Q. Based on that, does that lead you to
`believe that these are the same document?

`
` A. I believe that the similarities and the
`same numbers are enough to believe they're the same
`document.
` MR. RODKEY: And the parties have agreed
`that Exhibit 1007 of proceeding CBM2014-00137 and
`Exhibit 1003 of CBM2014-00131 are the same document,
`provided they're both the Japanese original source
`document.
` MR. STRANG: Correct.
`BY MR. RODKEY:
` Q. Ms. O'Connell, did TransPerfect provide
`the translation that is Exhibit 1008?
` A. I believe TransPerfect did provide this
`translation.
` Q. And what leads you to believe that?
` A. As I understand, it is our English
`translation.
` Q. And who asked you to provide this
`translation?
` A. We were asked by Sterne Kessler -- Sterne
`Kessler to provide this translation.

` A. They speak all the time.
` Q. About this translation project?
` A. I imagine that they touched base
`frequently about this translation project, especially
`due to preparation for these, as well.
` Q. When you say "preparation for these," what
`do you mean?
` A. Just the depositions and getting
`everything in place for you guys.
` Q. So Mr. Kiley's been in contact with Sterne
`Kessler about these depositions, correct?
` A. That is correct, yes. They -- they talk
`frequently.

` Q. So based on this statement, four different
`translators were used to translate Exhibit 1007 into
`Exhibit 1008, is that correct?
` A. The declaration lists four translators, so
`yes, four translators worked on the document.
` Q. Were those the only four translators that
`were used?
` A. As those are the only four on the
`declaration, those are the only four that worked on
`the document.
` Q. Why did TransPerfect use four translators?
` MR. STRANG: Objection, privileged.
` Don't answer the question.

`document, right?
` A. Looking at paragraph four, his name is,
`also, not there, so he was not a translator on this

`translators?

`was Cortne Edmunds.
