`
`
`1 Case CBM2015-00160 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`

`
`Patent Owner ContentGuard deposed Petitioners’
`
`reply witness
`
`Dr. Goldberg on January 18, 2016. The deposition addressed the subjects of
`
`Dr. Goldberg’s December 21, 2015 Declaration in support of Petitioner’s Reply.
`
`(Exhibit 1032.) The cross-examination testimony is provided as Patent Owner’s
`
`Exhibit 2024 with the portions set out below highlighted. The observations are
`
`provided in the numbered paragraphs below.
`
`1. In Exhibit 2024 (88:17-23)2 the witness testified:
`
`Q. In terms of what Stefik actually explicitly discloses, we
`agree it does not disclose the ability to process the next-set-of-rights
`field without exercising the encapsulating usage right?
`
`A. Correct.
`
`This testimony is relevant to pages 15-18 of Petitioners’ Reply (Paper 21) and Par.
`
`17 of the Goldberg Reply Declaration (Exhibit 1032) and whether Stefik discloses
`
`a right that can be exercised to create usage rights without resulting in actions to
`
`content.
`
`2. In Exhibit 2024 (91:22 – 92:9) the witness testified:
`
`Q. Does Stefik disclose any method for creating rights for a
`transferred copy of a digital work outside of the processing of a usage
`right?
`
`2 ContentGuard will use Page:Line throughout the observations. For example, page
`
`88, line 17 will be 88:17.
`
`1
`
`

`
`A. Not that I recall. I’m not sure how your question differs from
`a previous question that you asked.
`
`But the answer is in Stefik in terms of explicit disclosure, the
`creation of a new set of rights for a new copy of a work, occurs when
`a different usage right is exercised.
`
`This testimony is relevant to pages 15-18 of Petitioners’ Reply and Par. 17 of the
`
`Goldberg Reply Declaration and whether Stefik discloses a right that can be
`
`exercised to create usage rights without resulting in actions to content.
`
`3. In Exhibit 2024 (105:22 – 106:6) the witness testified:
`
`Q. But you don’t deny the words that are here, do you, that say
`that the Embed transaction involves the server transmitting the
`requested content of the data to the requester?
`
`A. I agree that the description involving the transmitting of the
`requested contents are within the Embed transaction section of this
`disclosure.
`
`This testimony is relevant to page 25 of Petitioners’ Reply and Par. 25-27 of the
`
`Goldberg Reply Declaration and whether Stefik discloses an “Embed” usage right
`
`that can be exercised without resulting in actions to content.
`
`4. In Exhibit 2024 (106:24 – 107:13) the witness testified:
`
`Q. The example that you referred to at paragraph 27 of your
`declaration, that is not actually set forth in Stefik explicitly; is it?
`
`A. That is correct. That is exemplified in the scheme of what
`Stefik is disclosing.
`
`2
`
`

`
`Q. You concluded that Stefik is disclosing that one would need
`a copy usage right to transfer the digital work, notwithstanding that
`Stefik teaches that the Embed transaction itself transfers the digital
`work?
`
`A. That is how I read it.
`
`This testimony is relevant to page 25 of Petitioners’ Reply and Par. 25-27 of the
`
`Goldberg Reply Declaration and whether Stefik discloses an “Embed” usage right
`
`that can be exercised without resulting in actions to content.
