`DECLARATION OF MICHAEL JAHN
`
`
`
`
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 1
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746 and 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 I, Michael Jahn, the
`
`undersigned, hereby declare as follows:
`
`(1.)
`
`My name is Michael Jahn. I am over 21 years of age and otherwise
`
`competent to make this declaration. I am being compensated for my time in
`
`preparing this declaration at my standard hourly rate ($150.00/hr) for this type of
`
`consulting activity. My compensation is in no way contingent on the results of
`
`these or any other proceeding relating to the outcome of the petitions for inter
`
`partes review (“IPR”) filed against U.S. Patent Nos. 6,611,349 and 6,738,155 or
`
`any related litigation or administrative proceeding. All statements herein made of
`
`my own knowledge are true, and all statements herein made based on information
`
`and belief are believed to be true.
`
`(2.)
`
`I currently work for Datatech SmartSoft, Inc. (“SmartSoft”). I have
`
`worked here since November 1, 2011.
`
`(3.)
`
`My title is Manager of Implementation and Support. I am responsible
`
`for PressWise installation, product training and developing custom solutions for
`
`clients, as well as product road mapping and future development projects for the
`
`PressWise Print MIS production workflow system. PressWise provides a single
`
`browser-based print management system that automates the digital workflow and
`
`incorporates imposition.

`
`
`
`(4.)
`
`Prior to joining SmartSoft I had worked for Agfa Corporation
`
`(“Agfa”) from August 1997 to September 2001 as a contract consultant. Although
`
`I had other projects while working for Agfa, my work with Agfa consumed most of
`
`my time during this period.
`
`(5.)
`
`While working for Agfa, I was tasked to assist in the product
`
`management and development of AGFA Apogee. I helped define the initial
`
`feature set for AGFA Apogee that would enable PDF workflow; I created white
`
`papers and training materials, provided technical content to writers and designers
`
`of marketing materials, slides show and brochures; I helped develop a marketing
`
`strategy and was the presenter at print tradeshows and workflow conferences for
`
`the Agfa PDF product line. I spoke at industry events about Agfa technologies and
`
`PDF workflows internationally and in the U.S.
`
`(6.)
`
`My remaining experience as a consultant and PDF, printing, prepress,
`
`and digital workflow specialist is summarized in my C.V., attached hereto as
`
`Attachment A and may be accessed electronically at
`
`https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelejahn.
`
`(7.)
`
`I have been asked by Counsel for Eastman Kodak Company
`
`(“Kodak”), Agfa Corporation (“Agfa”), Esko Software BVBA (“Esko”), and
`
`Heidelberg USA (“Heidelberg”) (collectively, the “IPR Petitioners”) to corroborate
`
`that the document attached hereto as Attachment B, “Agfa Apogee, The PDF-based
`
`
`
`2
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 3
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`Production System (“Apogee”),” was made publicly available in 1998 as stated in
`
`the declaration of Johan Suetens. For simplicity, I will refer to Attachment B as
`
`the “Apogee Exhibit.”
`
`(8.)
`
`I have read the declarations of Johan Suetens (first and supplemental)
`
`and they comport with my understanding of how publications, such as the Apogee
`
`Exhibit, were distributed by Agfa. Namely, Agfa headquarters would order copies
`
`of a given product brochure in bulk. The brochures would then be sent to regional
`
`offices, wholly owned subsidiaries of Agfa, and sales and marketing staff (such as
`
`myself) to distribute to customers, potential customers, and other interested
`
`members of the public.
`
`(9.)
`
`I recognize the Apogee Exhibit as describing the Apogee PDF
`
`workflow. Apogee was, and remains today, one of Agfa’s flagship products. I
`
`recognize the brochure as one that I personally distributed to interested members of
`
`the public on behalf of Agfa beginning in 1998, and thereafter.
`
`(10.)
`
`As noted above, it was my job, beginning in August 1997 until
`
`leaving the company in September 2001, to travel internationally and throughout
`
`the U.S. to meet with potential customers and industry groups for the purpose of
`
`educating them on the AGFA Apogee PDF workflow. Specifically, between
`
`March 16-20, 1998, I attended the Seybold New York conference where I
`
`promoted AGFA Apogee and distributed an earlier version of the Apogee Exhibit.
`
`
`
`3
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 4
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`That same year, I also attended the Vue/Point conference 9th annual
`
`communication event held April 14-16 in Arlington, Virginia, and the PIRA
`
`International meeting held in England.
`
`(11.)
`
`At these conferences, I was the person with the headset in the Agfa
`
`Booth giving approximately eight public presentations a day, where I discussed
`
`PDF, PDF workflow, PDF imposition and sending imposed PDF, imposed
`
`PostScript and/or Imposed 1-bit Screened bitmap TIFF files created by the AGFA
`
`Apogee system to be then passed to an imagesetter or platesetter. The Apogee
`
`Exhibit was the literature that attendees were given to take back to their office.
`
`(12.)
`
`Beyond distributing the Apogee Exhibit at the above conferences, I
`
`also directed attendees to my website, www.jahn.org, where the earlier version I
`
`referenced in paragraph 10 was posted for years for download by any interested
`
`member of the public. As indicated in the declarations of Johan Suetens, the
`
`Apogee Exhibit was printed in mass quantities in April 1998, which is also
`
`indicated by the GB 1998 04 stamp on the last page of the brochure. However,
`
`given my position at Agfa and responsibility for promoting its products (such as
`
`AGFA Apogee), it was not uncommon for me to have earlier versions of Agfa’s
`
`brochures to distribute to customers and interested members of the public. This
`
`served many purposes but, in particular, it allowed me to spread the word about
`
`AGFA Apogee before the product/brochure was officially released, and it also
`
`
`
`4
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 5
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`provided Agfa an opportunity to adjust the brochure based upon feedback from
`
`customers.
`
`(13.)
`
`I understand that Attachment C to this declaration is an affidavit from
`
`Christopher Butler of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine attaching a true
`
`and correct copy of my website, www.jahn.org, as it existed on January 25, 1999.
`
`I first published my website on November 20, 1995, although the Archive does not
`
`seem to have stored an earlier version of the website.
`
`(14.)
`
`From when I began working at Agfa in August 1997, my main goal
`
`was to help Agfa built and market tools and systems that create, modify and
`
`process PDF files in digital masters for use in high end prepress and printing
`
`production environments—i.e., the underpinnings of the AGFA Apogee platform.
`
`I utilized my website to help disseminate this information to customers, potential
`
`customers, academics, and other interested members of the public. Moreover, my
`
`website contained informational brochures, documentation, software plug-ins, and
`
`other workflow documents that would help customers and other interested
`
`members of the public utilize PDFs in their prepress and print production systems.
`
`Therefore, rather than having to send this information via mail or e-mail, I could
`
`keep adding to the website and tell meeting attendees, customers, etc. to go there as
`
`a knowledge base of one stop shopping for all things PDF.
`
`
`

`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 6
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`(15.)
`
`As shown in Attachment C, a document entitled “Agfa Apogee –
`
`Brochure (in PDF) that describes Agfa Apogee. About 460k” was freely available
`
`for download on my website. I will refer to the “Agfa Apogee” brochure that was
`
`available for download on my website and reproduced in Attachment C as the
`
`“March Apogee Brochure.” As discussed in greater detail below, the March
`
`Apogee Brochure is a near identical copy of the Apogee Exhibit submitted by the
`
`IPR Petitioners, the difference being the March Apogee Brochure bears an internal
`
`date code from March 1998 (GB 1998 03), whereas the Apogee Exhibit bears an
`
`internal date code from April 1998 (GB 1998 04).
`
`(16.)
`
`The March Apogee Brochure is included in Attachment C from the
`
`Internet Archive’s Christopher Butler; however, I have also included a true and
`
`correct copy of the March Apogee Brochure that has been downloaded from the
`
`Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine as Attachment D because the copy provided
`
`by the Internet Archive has the bottom portion of the PDF document cut off. As
`
`indicated in the declaration of Christopher Butler, “[t]he date assigned by the
`
`Internet Archive applies to the HTML file but not to image files [or links to PDF
`
`files] lined therein. Thus images [or links to PDF files] that appear on the page
`
`may not have been archived on the same date as the HTML file.”
`
`(17.)
`
`Although the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine did not capture a
`
`copy of the March Apogee Brochure until June 2001, I can confirm that this
`
`
`
`6
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 7
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`document was freely available on my website by January 25, 1999, at the latest, as
`
`indicated by the screen capture of my website from that date, and distributed by me
`
`in March 1998 when the document was created, both electronically on my website
`
`and in hard copy format. Therefore, although I had uploaded the March Apogee
`
`Brochure to my website years before, based upon how the Wayback Machine
`
`crawls the Internet, the brochure (apparently) was not captured by the Wayback
`
`Machine until 2001.
`
`(18.)
`
`If you access the linked version of the March Apogee Brochure saved
`
`on my website
`
`(https://web.archive.org/web/20010614135707/http://www.jahn.org/pdf3/apogee.p
`
`df) and display the create date, you will see that the metadata of the March Apogee
`
`Brochure identifies March 13, 1998 at 11:29:36 PM as the date that this electronic
`
`file was created using QuarkXPress Passport. The author “Bart,” is Bart Van Put,
`
`who worked at ImageBuilding. Further, immediately beneath the create date is a
`
`modified date of March 13, 1998 at 11:56:53 PM. This represents the date and
`
`time that I renamed the file “apogee.pdf” which, as you can see from the URL
`
`copied above, is the file extension name for the March Apogee Brochure that was
`
`saved on my website and captured by the Wayback Machine.
`

`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 8
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`
`
`(19.)
`
`Therefore, although I do not recall whether I immediately uploaded
`
`the March Apogee Brochure to my website after modifying the file at 11:56:53
`
`PM, or if I uploaded the brochure shortly thereafter, my purpose in modifying the
`
`PDF file was to distribute it electronically in March 1998 on my website, which I
`
`did. As of March 1998, Jahn.org was publically accessible, it was not password
`
`protected and, as mentioned above, it was my practice at the time to direct
`
`conference attendees to my website. My website address was also included on
`
`presentation slides that I used at each conference.
`
`
`

`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 9
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`(20.)
`
`For example, as can be seen in my website capture from January 25,
`
`1999 shown in Attachment C, I included links to various slide shows that I
`
`presented at different conferences and seminars. True and correct copies of the
`
`slide shows linked as “Adobe Agfa presentation” (presented at Graph Expo in
`
`Chicago, October 25-28, 1998); “Agfa PPA meeting” (presented to the Berman
`
`Printing company (Ohio) on November 7, 1998); and “Agfa IPP5 meeting
`
`workflow” (presented at the IPP5 conference in Mumbai, India November 14,
`
`1998) that are accessible via the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine are attached
`
`hereto as Attachments E-G, respectively. These files can also be accessed
`
`here:
`
`https://web.archive.org/web/20030422061526/http://www.jahn.org/slides/AdoAgfa

`
`and here:
`
`https://web.archive.org/web/20010615170418/http://www.jahn.org/slides/ipp5wf.p
`
`df.
`
`(21.)
`
`As show therein, each presentation was given in 1998 and, on the title
`
`page, includes my title as “PDF Evangelist” along with my website address,
`
`www.jahn.org. Accordingly, through my work for Agfa where I traveled around
`
`
`
`9
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 10
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`the country and world promoting Agfa’s products and giving countless numbers of
`
`presentations, the printing and publishing community would have been made
`
`aware of my website where a copy of the March Apogee Brochure was freely
`
`accessible and downloadable. Furthermore, although the Internet Archive does not
`
`have a snapshot of my website before January 25, 1999, these presentations clearly
`
`corroborate that www.jahn.org was live and publicly accessible in March 1998
`
`when I would have uploaded the March Apogee Brochure for free download. As
`
`noted above, throughout 1998 and before, I was directing customers, potential
`
`customers, and interested members of the public to my website to learn about
`
`PDFs and Agfa’s products.
`
`(22.)
`
`There are only slight differences between the Apogee Exhibit
`
`(Attachment B) and the version of the document accessible on my website, the
`
`March Apogee Brochure (Attachments C and D), not including the highlighting
`
`that appears on the Apogee Exhibit. In short, the differences between the Apogee
`
`Exhibit and the March Apogee Brochure are marketing rather than technical edits.
`
`Between March and April of 1998, the architecture and functionality of Apogee
`
`did not change in any significant way, if at all.
`
`(23.)
`
`The primary difference between the Apogee Exhibit and the March
`
`Apogee Brochure is that, in a few instances, as discussed in greater detail below,
`
`the Apogee Exhibit shorthands the process of normalizing incoming files into PDF
`
`
`
`10
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 11
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`digital masters as the “NORM-approach.” However, not only was the “NORM-
`
`approach” a staple of Apogee from the platform’s earliest descriptions, the March
`
`Apogee Brochure describes the incoming file normalization process with the same
`
`degree of specificity and with the same language as the Apogee Exhibit. For
`
`example, the March Apogee Brochure describes normalizing incoming files into
`
`PDF digital masters with the same sentences and paragraphs used in the Apogee
`
`Exhibit at pages 2-6 of the brochure. Again, the only difference between the
`
`March Apogee Brochure and the Apogee Exhibit is the inclusion of the “NORM-
`
`approach” marketing shorthand in the Apogee Exhibit, which is purely a difference
`
`of form, not technical substance.
`
`(24.)
`
`The Apogee Exhibit includes an additional sentence on the cover page
`
`stating that “Apogee adheres to the new NORM-approach…” Page 2 of the
`
`Apogee Exhibit includes a sentence stating “This also fits the new, open NORM-
`
`approach…,” which does not appears in the March Apogee Brochure, along with
`
`an additional bullet-point under “manage the print image files” stating “Last
`
`minute corrections.”
`
`(25.)
`
`Page 3 of the March Apogee Brochure includes three additional
`
`sentences on the Apogee RIP and “Print Image Files or PIFs” that are not found on
`
`page 3 of the Apogee Exhibit. Page 3 of the Apogee Exhibit also includes a bullet-
`
`point on the “NORM” process that is not found on page 3 of the March Apogee
`
`
`
`11
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 12
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`Brochure. The screen shots included at the bottom of page 4 of the Apogee
`
`Exhibit are slightly different than the screen shots included at the bottom of page 4
`
`of the March Apogee Brochure.
`
`(26.)
`
`Page 5 of the Apogee Exhibit includes additional text boxes for “The
`
`PageStore” and “Spot color mapping” that do not appear on page 5 of the March
`
`Apogee Brochure. Other than a change to the text of the heading following
`
`“APOGEE PDF RIP,” page 6 of the Apogee Exhibit and page 6 of the March
`
`Apogee Brochure appear identical. Page 7 of the Apogee Exhibit includes slight
`
`differences in the phraseology used for some of the “Features & Benefits” bullet-
`
`points as compared to page 7 of the March Apogee Exhibit. Lastly, as noted
`
`previously, page 8 of the Apogee Exhibit indicates that it was printed in April 1998
`
`(GB 1998 04) whereas page 8 of the March Apogee Brochure indicates that it was
`
`printed in March 1998 (GB 1998 03).
`
`(27.)
`
`After the Apogee Exhibit was printed in April 1998, I did receive, at
`
`minimum, hundreds of copies of the Apogee Exhibit to hand out during
`
`conferences, seminars, and other promotional activities. See Attachment H to the
`
`Supplemental Declaration of Johan Suetens. It was my practice at the time to order
`
`brochures in batches of approximately 100 to be used and shipped to the various
`
`conferences, seminars, and other events that I attended. Therefore, while
`
`Attachment H to the Supplemental Declaration of Johan Suetens shows that I
`
`
`
`12
`
`PETITIONERS Ex. 1024, p. 13
`Kodak v. CTP
`IPR2014-00791
`
`
`
`ordered 400 copies of the Apogee Exhibit cited by the IPR Petitioners in August
`
`1998 (4 orders of 100), it is likely that I made similar orders for the Apogee
`
`Exhibit throughout 1998 and 1999. In total, I would have received and distributed
`
`thousands of copies of the brochure to interested members of the public while
`
`working with Agfa.
`
`(28.)
`
`Because the differences between the Apogee Exhibit (April 1998) and
`
`the March Apogee Brochure (March 1998) were inconsequential and did not
`
`change the workflow described within the brochure, there was no reason for me to
`
`replace the linked version on my personal website. Whether a customer obtained
`
`the March Apogee Brochure from my website or a copy of the Apogee Exhibit that
`
`I would have distributed by hand, the information/knowledge they received about
`
`the Apogee platform would have been the same.
`
`(29.)
`
`In signing this declaration, I understand that the declaration will be
`
`filed as evidence in a review proceeding before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I acknowledge that I may be subject to
`
`cross examination in the case and that cross examination will take place within the
`
`United States. If cross examination is required of me, I will appear for cross
`
`examination within the United States during the time allotted for cross
`
`examination.

`
`"I value Michael's opinion highly."
`
`— Paul Farmer, President/Founder, Famhost, managed Michael at Famhost
`
`"Michael is, you'll excuse the overworked expression, CAN DO. Not only can he, but he will- earnestly
`joyfully and quickly. And in the rare occasion he says he can't, Micheal will find the resident expert and
`magically have your problem solved almost before you realize the extent of it. What is always a pleasure in
`working with Michael is his ability to anticipate the possible out comes of any scenario and plan for it."
`
`— A Karno, was Michael's client
`
`"Michael is a pioneer in a number of fields, among them Adobe PDF. Michael has come to my rescue on too
`many projects to mention. What is consistently astounding is that Michael always leaves you understanding
`*how* the problem was fixed, bringing an element of patient ( albeit it nutty) professor to the project. This
`is the guy you want in front of a large audience - he has a universal appeal and the rare knack for making
`even the most complicated of topics, approachable...even fascinating. Like a good science teacher, he ignites
`curiosity. He also has a megawatt smile and brings levity to those awful times when deadlines are looming
`and people like me become humorless. This"
`
`— A Karno, was Michael's client
`
`"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have not had the pleasure of working with Mr. Jahn, then you are missing
`out! He is an industry expert, who is asked to speak at international conferences on a regular bases-not just
`because of his detailed knowledge, but he knows how to interact with the audience while delivering an
`interesting message. He goes above and beyond the call of duty, so don't be surprised if he over-exceeds
`the outcome/results you are expecting. The bottom line is, if you want something done well...go to Michael
`Jahn!"

`communications industry."
