` Q. Have you ever been deposed before?
` A. Yes.
` Q. When was the last time?
` A. About a month back. Yeah, about a month.
` Q. A month ago from today?
` A. Yeah.
` Q. Okay. Was that for a patent case?
` A. No.
` Q. What type of case was that for?
` A. It's for a trade secret.
` Q. Okay. So some of the procedures here might
`be similar -- familiar to you. But I'd like to just
`go over some preliminary instruction --
` A. Yes.
` Q. -- before we begin.
` I will be asking questions and my questions
`and your answers will be recorded by the court
`reporter. The court reporter is recording
`everything that we say or trying to record
`everything that we say so we need to talk one person
`at a time. Okay?
` A. Yes.
` Q. I will try to wait until you finish your
`answer before asking my next question and that I ask

`you to wait until I finish my question before
`answering the questions. Okay?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Okay. That brings up another point which is
`the court reporter has -- sometimes has difficulty
`recording nods of the head or shakes of the head so
`I need you to give verbal answers to the questions.
` Do you understand?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Okay. Thank you.
` All right. If I ask you a question that you
`do not hear, please let me know and I will either
`repeat the question or have the court reporter read
`it to you again. Okay?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Okay. If I ask a question that you do not
`understand, please let me know and I will try to
`clarify the question. Okay?
` A. Okay.
` Q. All right. And if you need a break at any
`time, please let me know. I just ask that if there
`is a pending question or series of questions, I may
`ask you to answer those questions before we take the
`break. Do you understand?
` A. Yes.
