`
`Are there any stipulations that you would
`

`
`like to put on the record?
`
`MR. PATEK: None for Evolutionary
`
`Intelligence at this point.
`
`11~06AM
`
`11~06AM
`
`11~06AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ So this is under California 11~06AM
`
`law?
`
`THE VIDEOGRAPHER~ That is my
`
`understanding.
`
`11~06AM
`
`11~06AM
`
`11~06AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ I mean, to the extent ~~ I
`
`11~06AM
`
`mean, we would prefer that it be under D.C. law
`
`11~06AM
`
`since we are sitting here in D.C. But to the extent 11~06AM
`
`there's a dispute
`
`I can't imagine there being a
`
`11~06AM
`
`dispute over this later on but ...
`
`11~07AM
`
`MR. PATEK~ Yeah. To be honest, this is
`
`11~07AM
`
`news to me. Since it's a federal proceeding, I
`
`11~07AM
`
`can't imagine it's going to matter one way or the
`
`11~07AM
`
`other. So I'm fine with it being under D.C. local
`
`11~07AM
`
`law. Or it's going to be under Federal Rules or
`
`11~07AM
`
`PTAB Rules so
`
`11~07AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ Right, right. To ~~ to ~~
`
`11~07AM
`
`MR. PATEK~
`
`from home.
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ Yeah, to the ~~ okay.
`
`Great. Thanks.
`
`11:07AM
`
`11~07AM
`
`11~07AM
`
`MR. PATEK: Yeah, I think we're cov= ~~ I

`

`
`11~08AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ Hold on.
`
`I caution the
`
`11~08AM
`
`witness
`
`I'll == I'll object to the question to
`
`11~08AM
`
`the extent it seeks protected information such as
`
`11~08AM
`
`information related to the preparation of his report 11~08AM
`
`or communications with counsel.
`
`And, you know, I instruct you not to
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`answer in a way that would reveal such information.
`
`11~08AM
`
`Subject to that, you can go ahead.
`
`THE WITNESS~ I did prepare, yes.
`
`BY MR. PATEK~
`
`Q
`
`Okay. About how long did you spend
`
`preparing for the deposition?
`
`Maybe 20 hours.
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`All right. Did you review any materials
`
`11~08AM
`
`for the deposition?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes, I did.
`
`Okay. Can you identify for me what
`
`materials you reviewed?
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`11~08AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ And just sort of == again,
`
`11~08AM
`
`the same objection as long as
`
`11~08AM
`
`Please don't reveal any communications
`
`11~08AM
`
`with counsel. And subject to that, you can answer
`
`11~08AM
`
`the question.

`
`I reviewed portions of the Green

`

`
`I reviewed portions of my

`
`I reviewed
`

`
`portions of the Gibbs declaration -- excuse me

`11:09AM
`
`the Green dec- -- Dr. Green's declaration, not

`
`MR. BROUGHAN: Again, I'll object to the

`
`11:10AM
`

`
`11:10AM
`
`I instruct ~~ Dr. Houh, I instruct you not 11:10AM
`
`to answer in such a way that would reveal such
`
`11:10AM
`

`

`
`11:10AM
`

`
`I don't ~~ I don't
`
`11:10AM

`

`
`A
`
`You have no idea, not even roughly?
`
`Oh, I ~~ I can give you an order of

`
`11:10AM
`

`It ~~ I don't even remember
`

`

`
`11:11AM

`
`I don't recall at the ~~ at the
`
`11:11AM
`

`

`

`
`Q
`
`So you can't remember whether or not you
`
`11~13AM

`
`11~13AM
`
`A
`
`If I relied on something as the basis of
`
`11~13AM
`
`my opinions, I think I would have included that in
`
`11~13AM
`
`my declaration. But, you know, it's just what

`
`11~13AM
`
`A
`
`I may have to refresh, you know, my memory
`
`11~13AM
`
`on certain things. But, you know,
`
`I have a
`
`11~13AM
`
`background in object-oriented programming myself,
`
`11~13AM
`
`and so, you know, if ~~ if I would have relied on
`
`11~13AM
`
`something, I believe I would have cited it.
`
`11~13AM
`
`Q
`
`Okay. And can you identify anyplace in

`
`11:15AM
`
`THE WITNESS:
`
`I recall a discussion or
`
`11:16AM
`
`or reading something somewhere about encapsulation
`
`11:16AM
`
`in terms of data networking, which I did remember we
`
`11:16AM
`

`
`11:16AM
`
`example, encapsulated data network packets or
`
`something generally like that.

`Actually, I would prefer not to.
`
`I just
`
`11:18AM
`
`want to see whether or not you can explain for me
`
`11:19AM
`
`what a class interface is based on your memory.

`MR. BROUGHAN: Objection, form,
`

`
`11:19AM
`
`11:19AM
`
`11:19AM
`
`THE WITNESS:
`
`I'm just going to generally
`
`11:19AM
`
`talk about object-oriented programming and what I
`
`11:19AM
`
`understand a class and a class interface to be in
`
`11:19AM
`
`general object-oriented programming principles.
`
`11:19AM
`
`So generally speaking, in
`
`in
`
`11:19AM
`
`object-oriented programming, there are these things
`
`11:19AM
`
`called classes which are objects that have certain
`
`11:19AM
`
`properties in an object-oriented program. They can
`
`11:19AM
`
`inherit from other classes, they can be inherited
`
`11:19AM
`
`from.
`
`11:19AM
`
`But they generally describe a type of
`
`11:19AM
`
`object or a class, a class of object, a type of
`
`11:19AM
`
`object that
`
`that has similarities to each other
`
`11:19AM
`
`and -- and can be named and can be used. And
`
`and 11:19AM
`
`a -- a class interface would be the set of-- of
`
`11:19AM
`
`public -- publicly accessible methods within a class 11:19AM
`
`that would -- would cause class instantiations to

`
`So generally speaking, in object~oriented
`
`11:20AM
`
`programming, that's ~~ that's ~~ that's what I ~~my 11:20AM
`
`understanding of a class interface.
`
`BY MR. PATEK:
`
`11:20AM
`
`11:20AM
`
`Q
`
`Okay. And how would you create a class
`
`11:20AM
`
`interface?
`
`11:20AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN: Objection, relevance, form.
`
`11:20AM
`
`THE WITNESS: Again, I'm going to be
`
`11:20AM
`
`generally talking about object~oriented programming.
`
`11:20AM
`
`And, one, you know, it depends on the exact syntax
`
`11:20AM
`
`of the specific object~oriented programming language 11:20AM
`
`you're using, but there are generally ways of
`
`11:20AM
`
`declaring and defining classes and de~ ~~ declaring
`
`11:20AM
`
`and defining the public methods of a class.
`
`11:20AM
`
`And so you would use a ~-you~~ you could 11:20AM
`
`use a text editor and start typing.
`
`It would have
`
`11:20AM
`
`to be syntactically correct for the compiler that
`
`11:21AM
`
`you're using, but you could type the dec~ ~~ the
`
`11:21AM
`
`class of declarations and all. And, of course,
`
`11:21AM
`
`you'd need all the other things in order to compile
`
`11:21AM
`
`the ~- the ~- the code itself.
`
`11:21AM
`
`But, you know, if you just want to declare 11:21AM
`
`a class and define it and define ~~ and ~~ and ~~

`
`and write some -- some -- some of the interface
`
`11:21AM
`
`methods, then you could just start typing.
`
`So
`
`that's how a programmer would-- would define a
`
`class interface or -- or create one.
`
`BY MR. PATEK:
`
`Q
`
`And is it your understanding that in
`
`creating a class interface, you could nest
`
`containers within the class interface?

`11:21AM

`
`11:21AM
`
`11:21AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN: Objection, form, relevance.
`
`11:21AM
`
`THE WITNESS: Well, in
`
`in
`
`in
`
`11:21AM
`
`11:21AM
`
`generally speaking, in object-oriented programming
`
`11:21AM
`
`methods, one can declare a class and de- -- and
`
`11:21AM
`
`declare members -- members of the class. Members
`
`11:21AM
`
`may be things such as variables or references to
`
`11:21AM
`
`other objects. They could be -- you can actually
`
`11:21AM
`
`copy in or create member =- member things as classes
`
`11:22AM
`
`and == and -= and have them resident inside a
`
`specific instance of a class.
`
`Or, again, I want to just draw the
`
`11:22AM
`
`11:22AM
`
`11:22AM
`
`distinction between how you define a class and what
`
`11:22AM
`
`you say is -= is part of it. And when you actually
`
`11:22AM
`
`run a -- a program and you instantiate a class and
`
`11:22AM
`
`you -- you create a new object inside the class,
`
`then =- then, you know, another object would be

`
`BY MR. PATEK:
`
`11:22AM
`
`11:22AM
`
`11:22AM
`
`Q
`
`So when you talk about declaring things
`
`11:22AM
`
`within a class, what do you mean?
`
`11:22AM
`
`MR. BROUGHAN~ Objection, form, relevance.
`
`11:22AM
`
`THE WITNESS: Well, sometimes -- well, I
`
`11:22AM
`
`mean, classes have state. You can create classes
`
`11:23AM
`
`that have state, and states are contained in -- in a
`
`11:23AM
`
`description of the class. But when you instantiate
`
`11:23AM
`
`it, the -- the -- the -- the state variables or
`
`11:23AM
`
`member variables or whatever the objects are that
`
`11:23AM
`
`are declared to be -- you know, part of the members
`
`11:23AM
`
`of that class get instantiated and -- and have value
`
`11:23AM
`
`that would be separate and distinct from other
`
`11:23AM
`
`instantiations of that class in an object-oriented
`
`11:23AM
`
`program that's running.
`
`Of course, these are all abstract
`
`11:23AM
`
`11:23AM
`
`concepts.
`
`In an actual program that's running, the
`
`11:23AM
`
`program that's running is compiled code. That's
`
`11:23AM
`
`machine code for a particular processor or a
`
`11:23AM
`
`platform, and that code itself doesn't understand
`
`11:23AM
`
`what class members are.
`
`It just executes
`
`11:23AM
`
`instructions that the compiler put in to access what
`
`11:23AM
`
