`BY MR. QUIGLEY: 09:11
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Rhyne. 09:11

` Rhyne
`morning? 09:11
` A. I do. 09:11
` Q. And do you understand that the 09:11
`testimony that you're going to give this 09:12
`morning has the same legal effect as if you 09:12
`were appearing live in court? 09:12
` A. Yes, I do. 09:12
` Q. And do you understand that the 09:12
`penalty of perjury applies here today just as 09:12
`it does in a court of law? 09:12
` A. Yes, I do. 09:12
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, are you under the 09:12
`influence of any drug, medication, alcohol or 09:12
`other substance that prevents you from 09:12
`testifying truthfully today? 09:12
` A. No, I'm not. 09:12
` Q. And how many times have you been 09:12
`deposed before, Dr. Rhyne? 09:12
` A. I don't know exactly. 09:12
` Q. Have you been deposed in any non -- 09:12
`strike that. 09:12
` Have you ever been deposed in a case 09:12
`that you were not a consultant or a testifying 09:12
`expert? 09:12

` Rhyne
` A. I don't think so. There may be some 09:12
`exception in the distant past, but I don't 09:12
`think so. 09:12
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, you've been retained 09:12
`as an expert witness on behalf of Facebook and 09:12
`Samsung, correct? 09:12
` A. Yes. 09:12
` Q. And have you been retained in this 09:12
`case for any other purposes other than validity 09:12
`of the patents-in-suit? 09:12
` A. I think my expert report, which 09:12
`you're going to make, I guess, Ryan Exhibit 09:12
`Number 1, listed all the topics that I'm -- 09:13
`have been asked to opine on, and I think it's 09:13
`reasonable to say they all fall under the 09:13
`general category of either invalidity or lack 09:13
`of enforceability. 09:13
` Q. If the court reporter would -- I 09:13
`believe the court reporter's marked Exhibit 1. 09:13
`Can you please verify that -- 09:13
` A. Sure. 09:13
` Q. -- Exhibit 1 is your expert report 09:13
`from August 1st, 2012? 09:13
` A. It certainly appears to be. 09:13

` Q. And can you also verify that what 09:13
`the court reporter has marked as Exhibit 2 is 09:13
`your supplemental report from September 14th, 09:13
`2012? 09:13
` A. It certainly appears to be. 09:13
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, can you also please 09:14
`verify that what the court reporter has marked 09:14
`as Exhibit 3 is your supplemental report of 09:14
`October 1st, 2012? 09:14
` A. They get much shorter as you go 09:14
`through. October the 1st of this year, I 09:14
`believe that is that report. 09:14
` Q. Thank you, Dr. Rhyne. 09:14
` A. If it's okay, if you need reference, 09:14
`I brought one that's bound in a three-ring 09:14
`binder, and I'll be less likely to misorder a 09:14
`page. 09:14
` Q. That's just fine. You can use your 09:14
`binder with your reports. 09:14
` A. Yeah, you can certainly feel free to 09:14
`inspect it, but to the best of my knowledge, I 09:14
`have not made any markings in here. 09:14
` Q. That's fine. Now Dr. Rhyne, how 09:14
`much have you charged to date in this case? 09:14

`
` Rhyne
` A. I think something in the 09:15
`neighborhood of 80, $85,000 for the work that 09:15
`I've done so far. 09:15
` Q. So so far on this case, between both 09:15
`Samsung and Facebook, you've charged around 09:15
`$85,000? 09:15
` A. I took that to be -- I don't 09:15
`understand how that's different from the 09:15
`previous question. 09:15
` Q. I'm sorry. So you're here today on 09:15
`behalf of both Facebook and Samsung, correct? 09:15
` A. Yes. 09:15
` Q. And the totality of the work that 09:15
`you've done for both Facebook and Samsung, 09:15
`you've charged around $85,000? 09:15
` A. Yes. I've invoiced the Kirkland & 09:15
`Ellis law firm in both cases, and whatever 09:15
`divisional -- division of my invoice has been 09:15
`made between these two defendants I'm not a 09:15
`party to, so I have invoiced the Kirkland & 09:15
`Ellis firm for something between 80 and 09:15
`$90,000, as best I recall. 09:15
` Q. How many hours have you worked on 09:15
`this case, Dr. Rhyne? 09:15

`
` Rhyne
` A. Through the period for those two 09:15
`invoices, it was almost 120 hours, I think. I 09:16
`believe that's a correct summary, and I've 09:16
`worked on the case some more after those 09:16
`invoices ended, which may have been August or 09:16
`mid-September, probably another 20 to 30 hours. 09:16
` Q. So to date on this case, you've 09:16
`worked approximately 140 to 150 hours? 09:16
` A. That's the best -- I can't give you 09:16
`an accurate accounting without consulting my 09:16
`personal records, but I believe that's a 09:16
`reasonable estimate. 09:16
` Q. Dr. Rhyne, what's your hourly rate 09:16
`that you charge in this case? 09:16
` A. $650 an hour and I do not have what 09:16
`some experts call hazardous duty pay. I don't 09:16
`apply a multiplier for being here today or 09:16
`being at trial, if we go to trial. 09:16
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, do you own any stock 09:16
`in Facebook? 09:16
` A. No. 09:16
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, do you own any stock 09:16
`in Samsung? 09:17
` A. No. 09:17

` Rhyne
` Q. Dr. Rhyne, how many times have you 09:17
`been engaged as an expert witness previously? 09:17
` A. I don't know exactly. 09:17
` Q. More than ten times? 09:17
` A. Much more than 10. 09:17
` Q. More than 20 times? 09:17
` A. Much more than 20. I've been doing 09:17
`this 30 years, so I would say it's probably, in 09:17
`one way or another, approaching maybe a hundred 09:17
`times over that total period. 09:17
` Q. Dr. Rhyne, have you ever been a 09:17
`consultant or done expert work for Samsung 09:17
`prior to this case? 09:17
` A. I don't have a recollection of doing 09:17
`that. I've had some cases where I've 09:17
`represented multiple defendants, much as I do 09:17
`now, where the number of defendants was much 09:17
`larger than the two that are here and that 09:17
`there may have been a case where Samsung was 09:17
`one of the defendants. I just don't have a 09:17
`recollection of ever working for Samsung. 09:17
` Q. Sitting here today, Dr. Rhyne, you 09:18
`have no recollection of ever having consulted 09:18
`for or been an expert for Samsung? 09:18

` A. I don't, not in the sense of working 09:18
`closely with an attorney or anyone from 09:18
`Samsung. 09:18
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, sitting here today, 09:18
`do you have any recollection of ever having 09:18
`consulted for or been an expert witness for 09:18
`Facebook? 09:18
` A. I'm fairly certain that's never 09:18
`happened before. 09:18
` Q. And Dr. Rhyne, aside from being an 09:18
`expert witness, when was the last time you were 09:18
`employed full time? 09:18
` A. I left full-time employment in 1998. 09:18
` Q. What were you doing in 1998? 09:18
` A. I worked for Motorola here in Austin 09:18
`in their intellectual property and technology 09:18
`transfer group. 09:18
` Q. So since 1998 when you left 09:18
`Motorola, have you earned any income other than 09:18
`as an expert witness? 09:18
` A. Yes. 09:18
` Q. And how long have you earned income 09:18
`other than as an expert witness since 1998? 09:19
` A. Through other forms of investment. 09:19

` Rhyne
`My wife and I operate a timber farm on some 09:19
`property that she inherited in Mississippi, and 09:19
`we sell timber off that property. I also 09:19
`manage my own investment portfolio, and I've 09:19
`earned that. And from time to time I've been 09:19
`asked to do consulting work for a few companies 09:19
`in areas that deal with pure technology, design 09:19
`or review of designs, things like that, which 09:19
`had nothing to do with intellectual property. 09:19
` Q. Dr. Rhyne, are you the named 09:19
`inventor of any patents? 09:19
` A. No. 09:19
` Q. Now, Dr. Rhyne, you've asserted that 09:19
`a number of references invalidate the 09:19
`patents-in-suit in this case, correct? 09:19
` A. Yes. 09:19
` Q. Now, which of these references is 09:19
`the strongest reference as it relates to 09:19
`invalidity, in your opinion? 09:19
` MR. MANLEY: Objection, vague. 09:19
` A. Yeah. I haven't made any ranking of 09:19
`the references from a point of view of whatever 09:20
`you may mean by strongest. I think each 09:20
`and every one of them, considered individually 09:20

`or collectively in an obviousness opinion, 09:20
`makes the asserted claims from Summit 6 09:20
`invalid, and I haven't tried to rank them in 09:20
`any way. 09:20
`BY MR. QUIGLEY: 09:20
` Q. So in your opinion, are each of the 09:20
`references that you assert invalidate the 09:20
`patents-in-suit equally strong? 09:20
` A. I haven't formed any opinion one way 09:20
`or the other on that issue. I've looked at 09:20
`each of them and then collectively, for 09:20
`obviousness opinions, groups of them, and I 09:20
`believe they invalidate the patent, as I 09:20
`explain in my reports, each of them does, so I 09:20
`just haven't had any -- no one's asked me to 09:20
`rank them, and I have not done so. 09:20

` A. Thanks. 02:15
`BY MR. QUIGLEY: 02:15
` Q. Dr. Rhyne, is Exhibit 24 that you've 02:15
`been handed the Mattes patent that you discuss 02:15
`in your report? 02:15
` A. Yes. 02:15
` Q. And how does the Mattes patent work, 02:15
`Dr. Rhyne? 02:15
` MR. MANLEY: Objection, vague. 02:15
` A. The patent describes a communication 02:15

`system for recording and administering data 02:15
`using a telephone unit that consists of at 02:15
`least what they call a digital image pickup 02:16
`unit, you could think of that as a digital 02:16
`camera in a sense, telephone memory and 02:16
`processor in this telephone unit. The image 02:16
`pickup unit would capture a digital image and 02:16
`then store them in the telephone memory, and as 02:16
`disclosed in Mattes, the processor in the 02:16
`telephone unit would then reduce the size of 02:16
`the stored image by applying the JPEG image 02:16
`compression algorithm and subsequently 02:16
`transmitting the images in JPEG compressed form 02:16
`from the telephone unit to a server. 02:16
`BY MR. QUIGLEY: 02:16
` Q. Now, is the evidence cited in your 02:16
`reports, Exhibits 1 through 3, the totality of 02:16
`the evidence that you believe invalidates the 02:16
`patents-in-suit as it relates to the Mattes 02:16
`patent? 02:16
` A. I believe that's a fair statement. 02:16
`I have not, in my additional review of Mattes 02:17
`since I wrote my first report, identified any 02:17
`additional citations or any other evidence 02:17
