`

`
` EXAMINATION
`
`BY MR. FINKEL:
`
` Q. Mr. Norred, my name is Evan Finkel, I'm
`
`here to take your deposition as counsel for the
`
`Petitioner in this matter. Do you understand
`
`that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And can you please state your full name
`
`for the record?
`
` A. Troy Ray Norred.
`
` Q. What is your current home address?
`
` A. P.O. Box 1780, Ada, Oklahoma 74281.
`
` Q. A P.O. Box is not obviously a home
`
`address. What is your home address?
`
` A. I thought that was in my declaration.
`
`It is 2710 Bowen Lane, Ada, Oklahoma.
`
` Q. What is your home phone number, please?
`
` A. It is (580)310-0509.
`
` Q. What is your cell phone number, please?

`
` Q. Have you ever been deposed before?
`
` A. I have.
`
` Q. In connection with what type of
`
`proceeding?
`
` A. One deposition was in a personal injury
`
`case of mine with an accident, and the other was
`
`in a wrongful termination lawsuit against a
`
`hospital.
`
` Q. That would have been the lawsuit you
`
`filed in 2009?
`
` A. Yes. Was it 2009? I thought it was
`
`before that, actually, but maybe 2008, I thought.
`
` Q. 2008 or 2009?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And that was against Valley View
`
`Regional Hospital?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. That was a case that you filed for
`
`wrongful termination?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Did you prevail in that case?
`
` A. I did not.
`
` Q. Did the other side prevail?
`
` A. They did.

`
` Q. What was the basis of the termination?
`
` A. Hostile physician.
`
` Q. Could you elaborate on what that means,
`
`not being a doctor?
`
` A. Just means they didn't feel like I was
`
`cooperating with them. And my side of it I felt
`
`there was negligent care. They didn't feel I was
`
`going through the proper channels to correct
`
`situations, they felt I was not cooperative with
`
`the administration, and they had given me
`
`ultimatums that I did not comply with. At the
`
`end of it I felt their sanctions were unjustified
`
`so I didn't comply, and they terminated me
`
`because of that action.
`
` MR. MARCUS: You may want to keep
`
`your voice up a tad just to make sure she can get
`
`it down.
`
` Q. (By Mr. Finkel) Where was that case
`
`filed?
`
` A. Ponotoc County.
`
` Q. Could you spell that, please?
`
` A. P-o-n-o-t-o-c.
`
` Q. That's in Oklahoma?
`
` A. That's in Oklahoma.
`
` Q. State court there?

`

`

`
`correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And did you have dinner with
`
`Mr. Catchings last night after the deposition?
`
` A. We had drinks.
`
` Q. Where did you have drinks?
`
` A. At a bar next to this facility.
`
` Q. Now, have you had your deposition taken
`
`other than the two times that you mentioned?
`
` A. No.
`
` Q. You are going to have to talk up,
`
`probably. Your counsel is correct.
`
` A. No.
`
` Q. Let me go through the ground rules. You
`
`heard them yesterday but I will give you my
`
`version of them as well, that will educate you
`
`and hopefully make the deposition go smoothly.
`
`Okay?
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. First thing is I'm going to ask
`
`questions. Please make sure that you believe I
`
`have completed my question so we don't talk over

`
`each other, because it is hard for the court
`
`reporter to take things down when we are both
`
`talking at the same time. Okay?
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. Second, if you don't understand a
`
`question, let me know and I will try to rephrase
`
`it in a way that accommodates whatever issues you
`
`have with the questioning. Okay?
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. If you need a question repeated, the
`
`court reporter can read it back to you. Okay?
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. Most importantly, the court reporter can
`
`only take down audible responses; so gestures,
`
`nodding of the head and so forth she will not be
`
`able to take down. Okay?
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. If you need a break,, you can take a
`
`break any time you need one, with the caveat if I
`
`have a pending question to you, I would like you
`
`to answer it before you take the break. Okay?
`
` A. Okay.

`
` Q. We have gotten a little discussion on
`
`the record yesterday regarding talking about your
`
`testimony through the course of my examination of
`
`you. Do you recall that?
`
` A. I do not.
`
` Q. So let me give you an instruction and
`
`hopefully you will be able to comply with it.
`
`You are not permitted to consult or confer with
`
`your attorney or anyone else at breaks in your
`
`deposition, and that includes lunch breaks, until
`
`my examination of you has been completed, except
`
`for purposes of conferring on whether to assert a
`
`privilege against testifying or on how to comply
`
`with the Board order. Do you understand that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. I'm going to hand you a copy of

`
`your patent, U.S. Patent number 6,482,228, which
`

`the sole owner of that patent, 228?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. You submitted a declaration, correct, in
`
`connection with IPR proceedings here, correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. We have two IPR proceedings. Are you
`
`familiar with that?
`
` A. Yes, sir.
`

`

`

`
` Q. You are also a party to a litigation
`
`against Medtronic entities in the District Court
`
`of Kansas, correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Also regarding your 228 patent, correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Please tell me what you did to prepare
`
`for your deposition today.
`
` A. I reviewed materials I felt relevant to
`
`this, I discussed the matter with my attorneys, I
`
`spoke to Dr. Tim Catchings on a few occasions. I
`
`spoke to an artist to help me with renderings for
`
`visualization of certain patents. That's it.
`
` Q. You say you reviewed materials that you
`
`thought were relevant. Could you describe those
`
`materials, please.
`
` A. The patent, the declarations, many of
`
`the relevant patents to the current issue at
`
`hand.
`
` Q. When you say the relevant patents, you
`
`mean prior art patents that have been raised in
`
`this case?

`

`
` A. I cannot remember the specific names,
`
`but I did review patents.
`
` Q. Any patent that to your knowledge has
`
`not been discussed in any of the materials from
`
`this case up to now?
`
` A. I'm sorry?
`
` Q. I'm just trying to understand whether or
`
`not there are any patents that you reviewed that
`
`are not somehow of record in this case?
`
` A. Not to my knowledge.
`
` Q. When you spoke to Mr. Catchings, did you
`
`do it by phone or in person?
`
` A. By phone.
`
` Q. How many times?
`
` A. Three or four.
`
` Q. For about how long did you speak with
`
`him each time?

`
`an hour.

`
` A. I wouldn't think more than 10 hours.
`
` Q. More than five hours?
`

`
` Q. More than three hours?
`
` A. I didn't keep a running record.
`

`

`
` Q. What is your best guess?
`
` A. I gave you my best estimate.
`

`
` A. In between 10 and five hours.
`
` Q. You referred to artist renderings
`

`

`
` A. John Fisher.

`
` A. He is a Native American artist in the

`
` Q. So when you talk about John Fisher --
`
`how do you spell Fisher?
`
` A. F-i-s-h-e-r.
`
` Q. When you talk about Mr. Fisher preparing
`
`the artist drawings, are those the ones that
`
`Mr. Catchings produced at the deposition
`
`yesterday and were discussed at his deposition
`
`showing his idea of how the prior art might
`
`operate?
`
` A. Those specific drawings I don't think
`
`were the exact drawings that John produced, but
`
`they were renderings of the drawings that John
`
`Fisher produced.
`
` Q. You have to forgive me because I'm far
`
`from an artist. Why don't you explain to me the
`
`process we are talking about that led to the
`
`drawings that we discussed yesterday with
`
`Mr. Catchings.
`
` A. John and I met to discuss the way the
`
`patents read and were drawn so that he could draw
`
`the patents and a valve system to the best of our
`
`understanding, my understanding as I conveyed it
`
`to him. Once we completed those drawings, I

`
`took those drawings and had them automated with a
`
`CAD device. That's it.
`
` Q. Did Mr. Catchings have a role in the
`
`creation of those drawings?
`
` A. I sent Dr. Catchings renderings of the
`
`valves and inquired upon his opinion, but he
`
`didn't materially engage in the renderings.
`
` Q. Now, I understood from our conversation
`
`yesterday with Mr. Catchings that he and you go
`
`back a ways. Is that fair?
`
` A. We have been colleagues and friends
`
`since '99.
`
` Q. So about 15 years?
`
` A. Yes, sir.
`
` Q. Do you have any understanding with
`
`Mr. Catchings regarding compensation of any kind
`
`arising from either the litigation or the IPR
`
`proceedings?
`
` A. I do not.

` Q. I'm going to hand you a copy of Exhibit

`

`

`

`

`

`you Exhibit 2093 from the IPR 110. I'm going to

`
`you did the other one on July 16, 2014?

`
`from the different IPR proceeding that correspond
`
`to each other. Do you have any reason to believe

`

`
` A. Yes.

`
`exhibits and items as best as I can from the IPR
`
`111 proceeding just for ease of reference. Okay?
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. Now, did you draft that declaration
`
`yourself?
`
` A. Yes.
`

`
`completely on your own?
`
` A. I'm sorry, I didn't hear the question.
`
` Q. Did you come up with the content of that
`
`declaration completely on your own?
`
` A. Yes.
`

`

`

`

`
`patent?
`
` A. Not to my knowledge.
`
` Q. Do you have any canceled checks
`
`regarding payments made to your attorneys in the
`
`preparation of the patent applications that led
`
`to the issuance of the 228 patent?
`
` A. I don't have direct knowledge that we
`
`do.
`
` Q. Do you have any records indicating how
`
`much you paid to have the patent application

`
`"direct knowledge," which you used a couple of
`
`times now, it raises our antenna that we want to
`
`know what you might be thinking of in terms of
`
`indirect knowledge. Are you using the term
`
`direct knowledge to indicate that you may have
`
`some other information but not direct?
`
` A. I'm using the term to say what I can
`
`recall right at this moment to my best knowledge,
`
`that's what I mean by direct.
`
` Q. So when you say no direct knowledge, you
`
`mean as we sit here today you have no information
`
`to indicate that you have such documents?
`
` A. As I sit here today I cannot remember,
`
`if I say not to my direct knowledge, off the top
`
`of my head the question that you are asking.
`
` Q. Did you look for any of the types of
`
`documents I have asked you about so far?
`
` A. I have not specifically looked for those
`
`documents.
`
` Q. Do you have any records indicating when
`
`you made payments to have an application
`
`prepared?
`

`

`
` A. I had kept calendars and I had kept many
`
`materials with that but I have not been able to
`
`find those documents.
`
` Q. So you looked for them and you could not
`
`find them?
`
` A. Yes, sir.
`
` Q. When did you look for them?
`
` A. I looked for them throughout the course
`
`of much of the investigation and the history of
`
`this over the last two or three years.
`
` Q. I'm going to hand you Petitioner's
`
`Exhibit 2103 in the 111 IPR. Can you briefly
`
`describe what this document is?

` A. This is a drawing that I produced in
`
`December '98 showing a valve design inside of a
`
`stent system to utilize the percutaneous
`
`treatment for aortic stenosis.
`

`

`
` A. That's correct.
`
` Q. Thank you. I have taken it out of the
`
`wrapper that it is in. Is this in fact an
`
`original document or a copy, Exhibit 1 to your
`
`deposition?
`
` A. It is an original document, to the best
`
`of my knowledge.
`
` Q. Is the stamp on there from the notary
`
`raised at all?
`
` A. It seems like the stamp.
`
` Q. But is it raised at all to indicate a
`
`raised stamp of any kind?
`
` A. It is not.
`
` Q. Does the writing on that document look
`
`like original writing or does it look like a copy
`
`to you?
`
` A. It looks like original writing.
`
` Q. Why do you say that? What is on that
`
`document to indicate that it is an original as
`
`compared to Exhibit 2103?

`
` Q. You are saying that in this document,
`
`Exhibit 1 to your deposition, you see different
`
`colored inks. What are you referring to?
`
` A. Where there is things filled in, it
`
`looks like this is different. If it was a copy,
`
`it would seem like it would all be the same
`
`color.
`
` Q. So to you the writing in where it says,
`
`for example, Dec., and the '98 and somebody's
`
`name, looks like a different color, is that
`
`correct?
`
` A. When I compare the copy that you have
`
`given me to the original, I can tell that the
`
`copy is a copy and the original looks original,
`
`to the best of my knowledge.
`
` Q. Where do you keep the original document
`

`
`document?
`

`
` A. Maybe a couple of years ago.
`
` Q. Prior to that time where was the
`
`document?
`
` A. It was in a box in my garage, or maybe
`
`it was at my -- I think was at a box in my
`
`mother's house.
`
` Q. And why did you choose to have this
`
`document, Exhibit 1 to your deposition,
`
`notarized?
`
` A. To protect it and to memorialize the
`
`date that I felt I had come up with this idea.
`
` Q. Was it your practice at that time in
`
`1998 to have any documents notarized at all?
`
` A. No. That came out of experience.

`
`something that I had done and nobody else had

`
`apparatus, they didn't give me any credit or show
`
`me any type of reward for doing it. And their
`
`expressed things to me was we have no way to know
`
`that you did this, you should just have gotten it
`
`notarized. So I thought from then on if I come
