`
`
`
`1, Philip Green, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Preliminary Statement
`
`1.
`
`I have been retained by DLA Piper LLP on behalf of Destination
`
`Maternity Corporation (“DMC”) to provide an independent and objective opinion
`
`regarding the commercial success of DMC’s fu11 belly covering bottoms that are
`
`claimed to practice certain US. patents held by DMC.
`
`2.
`
`I understand that DMC’s Secret Fit Belly bottoms practice one or
`
`more of the claims of US. Patent Nos. RE43,531 (“the ‘531 patent”) and
`
`RE43,5 63 (“the ‘563 patent”), (collectively, “the patents-in-suit”), including all of
`
`the claims instituted on obviousness grounds. The ‘5 31 patent is a reissue of US.
`
`Patent No. 7,814,575, issued on October 19, 2010.1 The ‘531 patent, entitled
`
`“Belly Covering Garment,” was reissued on July 24, 2012. I understand the ‘531
`
`patent describes a “garment worn during different stages of pregnancy and
`
`different stages of postpartum body changes.”2 The garment consists of a first
`
`torso-encircling circumference that recedes downward allowing expansion of the
`
`belly panel and a second torso-encircling circumference that holds the garment up
`
`over the torso.3 The ‘563 patent is a reissue of US. Patent No. 7,900,276, issued on
`
`1Us. Patent No. 7,814,575.

`
`
`
`March 8, 201 l .4 The ‘563 patent was issued on August 7, 2012 and is also entitled
`
`“Belly Covering Garment.” It describes a garment worn throughout pregnancy and
`
`postpartum with an expansible belly panel and two torso encircling
`
`circumferences.5

`
`This report presents my analysis of financial, accounting, and
`
`economic factors that are related to the analysis of commercial success. Because of
`
`the nature of this action and my role in it, I have had to consider technical aspects
`
`related to the patents-in-suit and the products into which they may be incorporated.
`
`I have obtained my understanding of the technology from a variety of sources
`
`which are noted throughout this report. In addition, this analysis necessarily
`
`discusses various statutes and precedents. Other than to apply my analysis of the
`
`facts of this matter to these statutes and precedents, I have not been asked to
`
`provide legal opinions regarding the case law cited, nor is this report intended to do
`
`so.

`participated in license negotiations and have performed valuations of intellectual
`
`property assets. My work in these areas includes analyses related to consumer
`
`products, software and business methods, medical devices and coating
`
`technologies, among others. In addition, I have been retained on numerous
`
`occasions as an expert to address the appropriate measure of damages resulting
`
`from patent and other types of infringements. My resume and a list of cases in
`
`which I have given testimony either in deposition or at trial over the past four years

`
`Based on the documents and other information I have reViewed to
`
`date, and my professional background, training, and experience, I have concluded
`
`the following:
`
`0 Opinion 1: DMC’S Secret Fit Belly bottoms practicing the patents-in-
`suit are commercially successful.
`
`0 Opinion 11: DMC’s Secret Fit Belly bottoms’ commercial success is due
`to the patented technology and not to other factors.

`
`Background
`
`A.
`
`Destination Maternity Corporation
`
`10. Destination Maternity Corporation is the world’s largest maternity
`
`apparel retailer. It was founded in 1982 as a mail-order maternity apparel catalog.
`
`It began operating retail stores in 1985 and became a public corporation in 1993.6
`
`In fiscal year 2013, DMC had worldwide net sales of $540 million and earned net
`
`income of $24 million.7 Exhibit C shows the income statements for DMC over the
`
`past ten years. As of September 30, 2013, DMC operated 596 retail stores in the
`
`United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada, with an additional 1,311 leased
`
`departments in retailers in the United States and Puerto Rico. It is also the sole
`
`provider of maternity apparel in Kohl’s, which has 1,158 locations domestically.
`
`DMC also had 143 franchised international locations.8 Customers can also
`
`purchase products directly through DMC’s website.9
`
`11.
`
`In its retail stores, DMC has two primary apparel product lines:
`
`Motherhood Maternity, which offers value prices ($10-$45), and A Pea in the Pod,
`
`which offers apparel at luxury prices ($18-$395). In its relationships with large

`

`
`
`
`retailers, DMC offers two additional lines: Two Hearts Maternity and Oh Baby.
`
`Both of these lines cater to lower price points ($8-$36).10
`
`B.
`
`The Patents-In-Suit
`
`12. My general understanding of the technology of the patents-in-suit
`
`comes from the allegations presented in the Complaint in the DMC V. Target
`
`Corporation action, the IPR Petitions and Preliminary Responses, the patents
`
`themselves, the expert report of Dr. David Brookstein, and a conversation that I
`
`have had with Dr. Brookstein regarding his report.
`
`I understand that one of the
`
`most important features of the independent claims in the patents-in-suit is the full
`
`belly panel, which rises to just below the wearer’s breast area.
`
`I also understand
`
`that obviousness was instituted for dependent claims only, and that DMC’s Secret
`
`Fit Belly bottoms practice those instituted dependent claims.
`
`I.
`
`The ‘53] Patent
`
`13.
`
`The ‘531 patent was reissued on July 24, 2012.11 It is a reissuance of
`
`US. Patent No. 7,814,575 which was filed May 31, 2007 and issued on October
`
`19, 2010.12 The listed inventors are Lisa A. Hendrickson, James H. Gardner, III,
`
`and Richard Adelman. The listed assignee for the ‘531 patent is DMC. Claim 1 of
`
`the ‘531 patent claims:

`
`
`
`14. A garment, comprising: a garment upper portion having a belly panel
`
`that is expansible to cover and fit over a growing abdomen during different stages
`
`of pregnancy; a garment lower portion having a first torso encircling circumference
`
`that recedes downward to make way for expansion of the belly panel; and the
`
`garment upper portion having a second torso encircling circumference defining an
`
`upper edge of the belly panel that encircles a wearer’s torso just beneath the
`
`wearer’s breast area configured to hold the garment up and in place about the torso
`
`in a position of a location of maximum girth of the abdomen thereby substantially
`
`covering the wearer’s entire pregnant abdomen during all stages of pregnancy.
`
`15.
`
`I understand that the ‘531 patent generally claims a garment worn
`
`during different stages of pregnancy. Specifically, the garment claimed is a bottom
`
`having a panel that is expansible to cover a growing abdomen, which extends to
`
`just beneath the breast area. A first torso encircling circumference recedes
`
`downward to allow for expansion of the belly panel and a second torso encircling
`
`circumference is used to hold the garment up and in place over the torso. 13
`
`2.
`
`The ‘563 Patent
`
`16.
`
`The ‘563 patent was reissued on August 7, 2012.14 It is a reissuance of
`
`US. Patent No. 7,900,276, which was filed May 8, 2008, and issued on March 8,
`
`13 US. Patent No. RE43,531.

`
`
`
`2011. The listed inventors are Lisa A. Hendrickson, James H. Gardner, III and
`
`Richard Adelman. The listed assignee of the ‘563 patent is DMC.15 This patent is
`
`a continuation of US. Patent No. 7,814,575, later reissued as the ‘531 patent. 16
`
`Claim 1 of the ‘563 claims:
`
`17. A garment portion having an attached belly panel portion comprising:
`
`an expansible belly panel adapted to substantially cover a wearer’s entire belly
`
`region, said belly region comprising an area beginning just beneath the wearer’s
`
`breast area and extending over the wearer’s abdomen to a lower abdomen region
`
`beneath the wearer’s belly, said belly panel comprising: an upper edge portion
`
`defining a first encircling circumference about a wearer’s torso that is at or above
`
`the wearer’s upper abdomen region, and a lower edge portion spaced from the
`
`upper edge portion and defining a second encircling circumference about the
`
`wearer’s lower abdomen region; and a garment lower portion, in communication
`
`with the lower edge portion, having a torso encircling circumference that recedes
`
`downward to make way for expansion of the belly panel.
`
`18.
`
`I understand that the ‘5 63 patent generally claims a garment having an
`
`expansible belly panel. Specifically, the garment claimed is a bottom having a
`
`panel that is expansible to cover a wearer’s entire belly region, which extends to
`
`15 US. Patent No. 7,900,276.

`
`
`
`just beneath the breast area. The garments include a lower edge portion that
`
`recedes downward to allow for expansion of the belly panel and an upper edge
`
`portion at or above a wearer’s upper abdomen region.
`
`C.
`
`Secret Fit Belly Bottoms
`
`l9. DMC offers bottoms using the patented technology under the
`
`trademark “Secret Fit Belly.” These bottoms were first sold in 2007 and are
`
`currently offered in all of DMC’s product lines.
`
`20.
`
`Secret Fit Belly bottoms are available in various sizes, cuts, and
`
`colors, including jeans, trousers, capris, skirts, and shorts. DMC’s Secret Fit Belly
`
`bottoms are similar in style to all other bottoms offerings: generally the only
`
`difference is the expandable panel that is the subject of the patents at issue in this
`
`matter. 17
`
`21.
`
`The patented full belly design offers a number of benefits to the user
`
`including increased comfort and duration of use for expecting mothers. For
`
`example:
`
`0 Secret Fit Belly bottoms contour to a woman’s belly with a seamless panel,18
`offering a design that smoothes the lines from the panel. Other maternity
`bottoms have a visible crease from the edge of the panel.19

`sales. Exhibit D shows a summary of Secret Fit Belly bottoms sales and gross
`
`margins from 3Q 2008 through 4Q 2013.
`
`24.
`
`I understand from Dr. Brookstein that Secret Fit Belly bottoms
`
`embody the independent claim, Claim 1 of the patents-in-suit24 in that they
`
`comprise a “garment upper portion having a belly panel that is expansible to cover
`
`and fit over a growing abdomen during different stages of pregnancy.”25 I further
`
`understand from Dr. Brookstein that Secret Fit Belly bottoms likewise embody
`
`many of the dependent claims of the patents-in-suit, including all that are subject to
`
`these proceedings.
`
`I also understand that only dependent claims are being
`
`reviewed for obviousness.
`
`D.
`
`Framework of Relevant Case Law
`
`25.
`
`I understand that in connection with evaluating challenges to a
`
`patent’s validity, Courts will consider whether an invention is “obvious” in light of
`
`the prior art. I understand that “obviousness is a question of law based on
`
`underlying factual findings: 1) the scope and content of prior art, 2) the difference
`
`2:Expert Report of Dr. David Brookstein
`U. S. Patent Nos. RE43,531 and RE43 5.63
`
`HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL , ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
`

`
`
`
`between the claims and the prior art; 3) the level of ordinary skill in the art; and 4)
`
`, 26
`.
`.
`.
`.
`.
`objective cons1derations of non-obv10usness. ’
`
`26.
`
`The courts have considered a number of factors in evaluating
`
`objective considerations of non-obviousness. These include, but are not limited to:
`
`Evidence of the failure of others to make the patented invention;
`
`Long-felt; but unsolved needs fulfilled by the patented invention;
`
`Commercial success of the patented invention; and
`Unexpected results produced by the patented invention.27
`
`27.
`
`I understand that a “prima facie case of nexus (that the patented
`
`product is commercially successful due to the patented technology as opposed to
`
`other features) is made when the patentee shows both that there is commercial
`
`success and the product that is commercially successful is the invention disclosed
`
`and claimed in the patent.”28 My report focuses on the commercial success of the
`
`patented inventions.

`V.
`
`Opinions and Related Support
`
`Opinion 1: DMC’s Secret Fit Belly bottoms practicing the patents-in-
`suit are commercially successful.
`
`28.
`
`I understand that commercial success supports a conclusion that a
`
`patented invention was not obvious because it suggests that an economic incentive
`
`existed to produce the invention. If the invention was obvious, it would have been
`
`brought to market sooner by some other party in response to that incentive.
`
`29. As described below, commercial success for the design claimed in the
`
`patents-in-suit is evidenced by economic factors such as the sales and profits of
`
`products embodying the patents-in-suit, as well as by other qualitative factors.
`
`30.
`
`Based on its sales and profits, DMC’S products practicing the ‘5 31
`
`and ‘563 patents are commercially successful. The economic evidence of this
`
`success is demonstrated by the following:
`
`I.
`
`There are sales andprofits for the patentedproducts.

`technology. The commercial success of the product is shown by the revenues and
`
`profits generated.
`
`2.
`
`Secret Fit Belly bottom sales have increased as non-patented
`product sales have decreased.
`
`32. As outlined in Exhibits D and D-l , sales of Secret Fit Belly bottoms
`
`have been increasing since their introduction. Over the same time, DMC’s sales of
`
`other bottoms sales have decreased.
`
`33.

`
`commercial success of products practicing the patented technology is that sales of
`
`other bottoms that do not practice the patented technology have declined in
`
`comparison to the Secret Fit Belly bottoms.
`
`3.
`
`Secret Fit Belly bottoms result in a price premium over non-
`patented bottoms.
`
`35.
`
`From 3Q 2008 through 2013, the average per unit price of Secret Fit
`
`31 See Exhibit D.
`
`32 See Exhibit D-l. Further, this price premium is apparent in comparing the

`
`17
`
`
`
`patented technology provides value to the wearer that is not available in products
`
`that do not incorporate the patented designs.
`
`36.
`
`For example, I have compared identical products with the Secret Fit
`
`Belly panel design, to others that do not practice the patent. Specifically
`
`“LEGGING CPRI SFB C/ S BLK,” a black legging capri with Secret Fit Belly had
`
`brand. This comparison also suggests that other factors are not driving demand for
`
`the products practicing the patents.
`
`4.
`
`Patented product has been used by competitors.
`
`37.
`
`I understand that competitors in the maternity apparel market, such as
`
`Target, have used DMC’s patented Secret Fit Belly bottoms by offering full panel
`
`bottoms with similar features. This replication shows that competitors are aware of
`
`the demand for the patented features.

`
`
`
`Opinion 11: DMC’s Secret Fit Belly bottoms’ commercial success is due
`to the patented technology and not to other factors.
`
`38.
`
`The data provided to me to date, clearly evidence that the commercial
`
`success of the Secret Fit Belly bottoms is due primarily to the above-referenced
`
`patented features. This is exhibited by the sales trends described above, in which
`
`sales of the patented products have experienced an increase in sales, while sales of
`
`non-patented bottoms have decreased over the same time period. Further, the
`
`popularity has attracted the attention of competitors who have tried to replicate the
`
`patented design.
`
`39.
`
`I have also considered other factors that can contribute to the
`
`commercial success of a product to see if the success of the Secret Fit Belly
`
`bottoms can be attributed to these other factors. These are described below:
`
`I.
`
`Success is not due to marketing or other promotional activities.

`
`
`
`2.
`
`Success is not due 1‘0 availability.
`
`41. DMC offers both Secret Fit Belly and non-patented bottoms in all of
`
`their stores and collections, from the highest priced Pea in the Pod Collection to the
`
`lowest priced department store lines. Both types of bottoms are available in various
`
`colors, styles and cuts.36 The reason for the commercial success is not due to
`
`limited availability of alternative, non-patented products.
`
`3.
`
`Success is not due to the non—patentedfeatures oft/16 bottoms.
`
`42. As discussed previously, the Secret Fit Belly bottoms are identical to
`
`the non-patented bottoms as they are available in a variety of colors, cuts,
`
`materials, and styles. The only difference between the Secret Fit Belly and all other
`
`bottoms is the patented full belly panel. Since there is no other variation in the
`
`product other than the panel, the commercial success cannot be attributed to any
`
`other factor.
`
`I declare that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my
`43.
`knowledge. Executed on May 5, 2014, in Newton, Massachusetts.
