`

`

`
`
`Trial No.: IPR2013-00062
`U.S. Patent No. 6,516,236
`
`1. McClung Received the 7/24/94 XMC Spec. (Ex. 2010-1/2012-1/2013-1)
`
`In Ex. 2021, on page 124, line 15 – 126, line 5, ABB’s counsel marked Ex. 2010-1
`
`from the 0062 IPR (Ex. 2012-1 in 0063, Ex. 2013-1 in 0074), the 2nd Draft XMC
`
`Spec. as Ex. 5 and asked “And do you know what this document is?” Mr. McClung
`
`responded “This is the second draft of the WOSA/XMC MCAPI . . . and MCSPI
`
`Design Specification.” At page 125, lines 6-13, ABB’s counsel then elicited
`
`testimony from Mr. McClung that after an April 1994 meeting he received and
`
`provided feedback on the second draft. This testimony is relevant to ABB’s
`
`argument that no independent corroboration exists for RGB’s conception evidence.
`
`2.
`
`9/8/1994 Compumotor Meeting Minutes Comment on the XMC Spec.
`
`In Ex. 2021, on page 125, line 16 – page 126, line 10, after ABB’s counsel handed
`
`him Ex. 6, entitled “Roy-G-Biv Spec. 2.0 Meeting Minutes, September 8, 1994
`
`3:30 a.m.,” (Ex. 2021-6) Mr. McClung testified that “It’s most likely I attended
`
`this…I can’t recall exactly…attending the meeting, but I do…remember these
`
`questions–that were brought up.” This testimony is relevant to ABB’s argument
`
`that no independent corroboration exists for RGB’s conception evidence.
`
`3. McClung’s 9/19/1994 Email Comments on 7/24/94 XMC Spec.
`
`In Ex. 2021, on page 130, lines 1-25, after being handed an email dated 9/19/94
`
`from McClung to Brown marked as Ex. 7 by ABB’s counsel (Ex. 2021-7), Mr.
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`McClung testified, “Yes, I do recognize this.” “[I]t’s some of my feedback, you
`
`Trial No.: IPR2013-00062
`U.S. Patent No. 6,516,236
`
`know, re–regarding…this section in the spec related to something called
`
`initialization tuning. And also...I guess, the code generation aspects of that.” This
`
`testimony is relevant to ABB’s argument that no independent corroboration exists
`
`for RGB’s conception evidence.
`
`4.
`
`Additional 1994 Emails from McClung Comment on XMC Spec.
`
`In Ex. 2021, on page 131, line 2 to page 132, line 17, after being handed copies of
`
`1994 emails from McClung to Brown marked as Exhibits 8-10 by ABB’s counsel
`
`(Exhibits 2021-8-10), Mr. McClung testified that “Yes I do” recognize them, after
`
`which ABB counsel asked “Again, this is feedback you provided after reviewing
`
`the spec 2?” and Mr. McClung testified: “Exactly.” This testimony is relevant to
`
`ABB’s argument that no independent corroboration exists for RGB’s conception
`
`evidence.
`
`5.
`
`The 7/24/94 XMC Spec. was disclosed to Compumotor under NDA
`
`In Ex. 2021, on page 183, line 6 - page 184, line 7, Mr. McClung testified that the
`
`non-disclosure agreement between ROY-G-BIV Corporation and Compumotor
`
`dated 5/19/94, discussed on page two of the 7/24/94 XMC Spec., is Ex. 14 (Ex.
`
`2021-14) “judging by the dates.” This testimony is relevant to ABB’s argument
`
`that no independent corroboration exists for RGB’s conception evidence.

`

`

`The Parker Log Text File (Ex. 15) Includes Comments on XMC Spec.
`
`Trial No.: IPR2013-00062
`U.S. Patent No. 6,516,236
`
`
`6.
`
`In Ex. 2021, on pages 185, line 22 - page 186, line 11, Mr. McClung identified Ex.
`
`15 (Parker prod. nos. 19-43) (Ex. 2021-15) as a file of emails and correspondence
`
`between Compumotor and RGB. On page 192, lines 5-17, Mr. McClung confirmed
`
`that “that’s correct” when asked if Parker 27 shows that by 8/25/94 “he had read
`
`[the XMC Spec].” This testimony is relevant to ABB’s argument that no
`
`independent corroboration exists for RGB’s conception evidence.
`
`7.
`
`ABB Has Been Working with Compumotor Employees
`
`In Ex. 2021, on page 201, line 21-page 207, line 1, and page 209, line 10 to page
`
`210, line 19, Mr. McClung testified that he had “two pre-interview...discussions”
`
`with attorneys from ABB, including ABB in-house attorney Robert Nupp and
`
`attorneys from Squire Sanders, and Stuart Goodnick “told me that he had been
`
`involved for some time” and “it’s been kind of like a burden for him.” This
`
`testimony is relevant to whether ABB would be prejudiced by entry of the
`
`evidence of independent corroboration from Compumotor and Mr. McClung.
