`
`·8·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Dr. Chase, we met before the deposition
`
`·9·
`
`·started, but I'd like to reintroduce myself on the

`10·
`
`·record.··My name is Scott Crocker and I'm with the

`·I am and who I represent?
`
`14·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`15·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Have you ever given your deposition before?
`
`16·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes, I have.
`
`17·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·On about how many occasions?
`

`
`·here today is being taken down by our court reporter

`
`·5·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`·6·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Because of that, if we just have a couple
`
`·7·
`
`·of -- ground rules is too strong a word, but if you
`
`·8·
`
`·would wait until I finish my question before you
`
`·9·
`
`·answer it and I will try to wait until you finish
`
`10·
`
`·your answer before I start my next question.··That
`
`11·
`
`·will make the proceeding go by a lot more efficiently
`

`
`·and make the court reporter's job easier.··All right?
`
`13·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`14·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And if I ever mention that to you again,
`
`15·
`
`·I'm not getting on you.··I'm just -- likely you'll
`
`16·
`
`·say it more to me than I will to you.
`
`17·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Thanks.··I'll appreciate the reminder.
`
`18·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·All right.··And then also the court
`
`19·
`
`·reporter can't take down a nonverbal response like
`
`20·
`
`·nodding your head or shaking your head.··So if you'd
`
`21·
`
`·please respond verbally to my questions.
`
`22·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`23·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And then if you ever don't understand a
`
`24·
`
`·question I've asked you or can't answer it the way
`
`25·
`
`·I've asked, just ask me to repeat it or rephrase it

`·1·
`
`·last few weeks and we had a meeting yesterday for
`
`·2·
`
`·most of the day with Mr. Gardella here and Ms. Park
`
`·3·
`
`·and discussed some of the issues in the case.
`

`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·What materials did you review in order to
`
`·5·
`
`·prepare for today's deposition?
`
`·6·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·I reviewed my declaration, the patents at
`
`·7·
`
`·issue and their claims and various cited prior art
`
`·8·
`
`·references in my declaration as well as some other
`
`·9·
`
`·references cited in my declaration.
`
`10·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Anything not cited in your declaration?
`
`11·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·No.
`
`12·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And you mentioned your declaration.··We're
`
`13·
`
`·actually here today on three separate IPR
`
`14·
`
`·proceedings.··Do you understand that?
`
`15·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`16·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·One of them involving the '035 patent and
`
`17·
`
`·two of them involving the '147 patent.··Do you agree?
`
`18·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.··I'm a little -- little fuzzy on how
`
`19·
`
`·there are two proceedings regarding the '147 patent,
`
`20·
`
`·but that's -- I'll be happy to listen if you'll
`
`21·
`
`·explain it to me, but it's probably not necessary.
`
`22·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·So -- so you filed different declarations
`
`23·
`
`·in the various proceedings; is that correct?
`
`24·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`25·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And, as you noted, the two proceedings

`

`
`·1·
`
`·related to the '147 you have the same declaration for
`
`·2·
`
`·both of those; is that correct?
`
`·3·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes, I filed -- I prepared declarations for
`
`·4·
`
`·the IPR requests.
`
`·5·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·So -- but the declaration that you
`
`·6·
`
`·prepared -- so the two that relate to the '147 patent
`
`·7·
`
`·are the -- I don't know if you know the IPR numbers,
`
`·8·
`
`·but the 1207 and 1209?
`
`·9·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`10·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Okay.··And is it the same declaration that
`
`11·
`
`·you prepared that cover both the 1207 and 1209?
`
`12·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·I prepared only one declaration for the
`
`13·
`
`·'147 patent.
`
`14·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·So earlier when you said you reviewed your
`
`15·
`
`·declaration in order to prepare for today's
`
`16·
`
`·deposition, was it the one for the '147 or the one
`
`17·
`
`·for the '035?
`
`18·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Both actually.
`
`19·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·In reviewing the declarations in preparing
`
`20·
`
`·for today's deposition did you notice anything that
`
`21·
`
`·was inaccurate or incorrect in those declarations?
`
`22·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·No.
`
`23·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Other than counsel who are here today, did
`
`24·
`

`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·So, obviously, Exhibit 1001 is the patent
`
`16·
`
`·that this declaration was prepared for, correct?
`
`17·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`18·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Which would be the '147 patent?
`
`19·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`20·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And so in the 1197 IPR your declaration
`
`21·
`
`·refers to the '035 patent; is that right?
`
`22·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·That's correct.
`
`23·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And is it also designated as Exhibit 1001?
`
`24·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·I believe so.
`
`25·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Just trying to set it up to make it easier

`
`·1·
`
`·for us to discuss so we don't have to use the
`
`·2·
`
`·cumbersome qualifying everything, but if you look
`
`·3·
`
`·through the rest of the exhibits in Exhibit -- I'm
`
`·4·
`
`·sorry, Appendix B to your declaration, with respect
`
`·5·
`
`·to 1003 through 1007, are those the same as the
`
`·6·
`
`·exhibits that are attached to your declaration for
`
`·7·
`
`·the 1197 IPR?
`
`·8·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·I believe that's true and Exhibit 1008 as
`
`·9·
`
`·well.
`
`10·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Okay.··I'm at -- so 1001 is the '147
`
`11·
`
`·patent, correct?
`
`12·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`13·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And 1002 is the file history for the '147
`
`14·
`
`·patent, correct?
`
`15·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`16·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And so in the declaration you prepared for
`
`17·
`
`·the '035 patent those would be the '035 patent and
`
`18·
`
`·the file history for the '035 patent; is that
`
`19·
`
`·correct?
`
`20·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·I believe so.
`
`21·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And then starting at 1003, those are the
`
`22·
`
`·references that you cited and then the other papers
`
`23·
`
`·that you discussed in your declaration, correct?
`
`24·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.
`
`25·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And so from 1003 on are those consistent

`
`·1·
`
`·between the two declarations?
`
`·2·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Well, many of them are consistent across
`
`·3·
`
`·the two declarations.··I think that the infringement
`
`·4·
`
`·contentions, 1009, may also be different; 1024 may or
`
`·5·
`
`·may not be included, I don't -- I don't recall
`
`·6·
`
`·specifically; and, similarly, the 1025 and 1026.··I
`
`·7·
`
`·believe generally that all of these are -- are the
`
`·8·
`
`·same across the two declarations except insofar as
`
`·9·
`
`·there are differences among the specific patents.
`
`10·
`
`·For example, the infringement contentions may be
`
`11·
`
`·different.
`
`12·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·And what do you -- what do you mean by "the
`
`13·
`
`·infringement contentions may be different"?
`
`14·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·As I recall, there are different
`
`15·
`
`·infringement contentions for each of the patents.
`
`16·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·What numbers would those be?
`
`17·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Well, I'm speaking of the petition, Exhibit
`
`18·
`
`·1009.
`
`19·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·Okay.
`
`20·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·I could be wrong about that.
`
`21·
`
`
`
`· · ·· Q.· ·All right.··Right, and we noted that -- you
`
`22·
`
`·already noted that one, that 1009 might be patent
`
`23·
`
`·specific?
`
`24·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Yes.

`

`
`·1024, 1025 and 1026 might also be patent specific; is
`
`·2·
`
`·that correct?··Might be?
`
`·3·
`
`
`
`· · ·· A.· ·Might be, yes.··Probably not 1024 and 1025,
`
`·4·
`
`·but the others, 1027 through 1031, are other
`

`
`·references that represent the state of the art prior

`
`·to the priority date of these patents or at the time
`

`

`

`
`
`

`

`
