`

`
`the jury in?
`
`Honor.
`
`MR. POWERS: A couple of matters, Your
`
`One is an issue that came up at the
`
`pretrial conference, and it was VirnetX's motion in
`
`limine regarding our evidence that they had earlier
`
`accused of infringement, PPTP, which is now being
`
`asserted to be prior art.
`
`And Your Honor granted that motion in
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`08:04
`
`10
`
`limine. At Page 7, you said, I'll look at it closer
`
`08:04
`
`11
`
`between now and then. Bring it back up with me prior to
`
`08:04
`
`12
`
`trial. I think you're zeroing in on something that
`
`08:04
`
`13
`
`would probably be an admission. So if you want to use
`
`08:04
`
`14
`
`it to impeach their expert, to raise it now, and that's
`
`08:04
`
`15
`
`what we're doing now.
`
`08:04
`
`16
`
`08:05
`
`17
`
`So the basic --
`
`THE COURT: So you want to raise -- oh,
`
`08:05
`
`18
`
`yeah. Go ahead. Explain it to me a little further.
`
`08:05
`
`19
`
`MR. POWERS: So the basic issue is this:
`
`08:05
`
`20
`
`As Your Honor knows, we're relying on PPTP to be a piece
`
`08:05
`
`21
`
`of prior art in the case. It's a Microsoft product that
`
`08:05
`
`22
`
`was done in 1996.
`
`08:05
`
`23
`
`We believe that the fact that VirnetX's
`
`08:05
`
`24
`
`lawyers originally accused it of infringement and
`
`08:05
`
`25
`
`withdrew it only when they learned of the date is

`Case 6:07-cv-00080-LED Document 398 Filed 04/05/10 Page 4 of 153 PageID #: 21469
`
`4
`
`evidence that should be allowed to be used in
`
`cross-examination of their validity expert on the
`
`question of whether PPTP does, in fact, come within the
`
`scope of the claims.
`
`THE COURT: Response?
`
`MR. McLEROY: Yes, Your Honor.
`
`The short answer is, we never accused it
`
`of infringement. PPTP is not mentioned in our
`
`infringement contentions. I believe what Counsel is
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`08:05
`
`10
`
`referring to is a letter that VirnetX's lawyers --
`
`08:05
`
`11
`
`former lawyers sent to Microsoft clarifying the
`
`08:05
`
`12
`
`definition of accused features in an interrogatory we
`
`08:06
`
`13
`
`propounded to Microsoft.
`
`08:06
`
`14
`
`And as you can see from the context of the
`
`08:06
`
`15
`
`letter, as well as the interrogatories themselves, it's
`
`08:06
`
`16
`
`a broad definition of accused features that VirnetX used
`
`08:06
`
`17
`
`at the very beginning of the case, in November of 2007,
`
`08:06
`
`18
`
`to identify every possible infringing feature to do our
`
`08:06
`
`19
`
`analysis to see which infringed and which did not.
`
`08:06
`
`20
`
`THE COURT: Okay. Is there a document or
`
`08:06
`
`21
`
`something that you would rely on, Mr. Powers?
`
`08:06
`
`22
`
`MR. POWERS: There is, Your Honor. It's
`
`08:06
`
`23
`
`Exhibit 3252. I can hand up my copy, if you'd like.
`
`08:06
`
`24
`
`THE COURT: All right. Bring up a copy of
`
`08:06
`
`25
`
`that.

`

`
`And specifically --
`
`MR. POWERS: The specific portion I
`
`believe is highlighted in that copy, Your Honor. And it
`
`is exactly as Counsel has characterized it. It's their
`
`lawyers saying, yes, the accused functionality includes
`
`PPTP and L2TP.
`
`THE COURT: And let me see the
`
`interrogatory.

`10

`
`08:07
`
`11
`
`into this with him?
`
`08:07
`
`12
`
`MR. POWERS: It would be with their
`
`08:07
`
`13
`
`invalidity expert, who will be on this morning.
`
`08:07
`
`14
`
`08:07
`
`15
`
`THE COURT: Next or --
`
`MR. POWERS: No. It will be in their
`
`08:07
`
`16
`
`rebuttal case.
`
`08:07
`
`17
`
`08:07
`
`18
`
`THE COURT: Right.
`
`MR. POWERS: So we have -- it will be an
`
`08:07
`
`19
`
`hour and a half at least.
`
`08:07
`
`20
`
`THE COURT: All right. Let me study on it
`
`08:07
`
`21
`
`a little bit.
`
`08:07
`
`22
`
`08:07
`
`23
`
`08:07
`
`24
`
`What else?
`
`MR. POWERS: Understood.
`
`Your Honor, there were two offers of proof
`
`08:07
`
`25
`
`filed late last night on issues that have been
`
`Sunbelt Reporting & Litigation Services
`HOUSTON*DALLAS/FT. WORTH*CORPUS CHRISTI*AUSTIN*EAST TEXAS*SAN ANTONIO
`
`Apple v. VirnetX, IPR2015-00811
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Exhibit 1059, p. 5
`
`

`
`Case 6:07-cv-00080-LED Document 398 Filed 04/05/10 Page 6 of 153 PageID #: 21471
`
`6
`
`previously raised and subject of motions in limine, and
`
`we wanted to make those offers of proof and obtain
`
`indictment rulings from the Court on them.
`
`The two issues are, I know, familiar to
`
`the Court from the motions in limine.
`
`One is the question of the reexaminations.
`
`And that, of course, is relevant also to the witness
`
`coming up. It's relevant to various issues in the case
`
`and -- including, particularly, willfulness.
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`08:08
`
`10
`
`And so we wanted to obtain a definitive
`
`08:08
`
`11
`
`ruling from the Court on that issue.
`
`08:08
`
`12
`
`08:08
`
`13
`
`08:08
`
`14
`
`08:08
`
`15
`
`THE COURT: It's overruled.
`
`MR. POWERS: Understood.
`
`THE COURT: Okay.
`
`MR. POWERS: And the second one on which
`
`08:08
`
`16
`
`we wanted a definitive ruling is the question of
`
`08:08
`
`17
`
`Microsoft patents which are covering the accused
`
`08:08
`
`18
`
`functionality. On that one, Your Honor had earlier
`
`08:08
`
`19
`
`ruled as well. There is one change that has happened
`
`08:08
`
`20
`
`during the trial that does affect that issue.
`
`08:08
`
`21
`
`The change is that their damages expert
`
`08:08
`
`22
`
`testified on direct examination that one of the reasons
`
`08:09
`
`23
`
`he believed some of the licenses he was relying upon
`
`08:09
`
`24
`
`were particularly relevant was that they included PNRP
`
`08:09
`
`25
`
`patents owned by Microsoft.

`
`Case 6:07-cv-00080-LED Document 398 Filed 04/05/10 Page 7 of 153 PageID #: 21472
`
`7
`
`So this is now a situation that is
`
`different from how it was presented to Your Honor in the
`
`motions in limine, because now VirnetX has made -- has
`
`affirmatively opened the door to the relevance and
`
`relied upon the relevance of Microsoft's patents on the
`
`accused functionality.
`
`And, therefore, we think that that opening
`
`of the door should allow Microsoft to introduce those
`
`patents into evidence.
`
`THE COURT: All right. Response?
`
`MR. CASSADY: Your Honor, I don't think
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:09
`
`08:09
`
`08:09
`

`
`08:09
`
`08:09
`
`08:09
`
`10
`
`08:09
`
`11
`
`08:09
`
`12
`
`it's actually a fair representation to say that we've
`
`08:09
`
`13
`
`done anything outside of what we've always intended for
`
`08:09
`
`14
`
`these licenses.
`
`08:09
`
`15
`
`When Mr. Sayles and I argued the
`
`08:10
`
`16
`
`admissibility of the MCPP and WSPP licenses, I
`
`08:10
`
`17
`
`specifically referred to the PNRP-related technologies
`
`08:10
`
`18
`
`that has to go into those licenses. That was Wednesday.
`
`08:10
`
`19
`
`Here we are Monday morning. That never got brought up
`
`08:10
`
`20
`
`for five days that somehow that opened the door to any
`
`08:10
`
`21
`
`issue related to these patents.
`
`08:10
`
`22
`
`08:10
`
`23
`
`Furthermore, Dr. Ugone --
`
`THE COURT: So what are you raising,
`
`08:10
`
`24
`
`untimeliness in their --
`
`08:10
`
`25
`
`MR. CASSADY: Well, that's one, Your

`
`8
`
`Honor, or this is just a hail Mary at the end, that they
`
`never thought it was relevant, and they're bringing it
`
`in now. That's one.
`
`Number two, Your Honor, Dr. Ugone never
`
`talked about these patents in his report. He doesn't
`
`specifically refer to these patent numbers. He doesn't
`
`specifically refer to the Microsoft technology patents.
`
`Three, Dr. Johnson, who he has to rely on
`
`for the technical knowledge of these patents, didn't
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:10
`

`
`08:10

`
`08:10
`
`08:10
`
`08:10
`
`08:10
`
`10
`
`refer to these patents either with regards to the
`
`08:10
`
`11
`
`technology in this case.
`
`08:10
`
`12
`
`08:10
`
`13
`
`THE COURT: But Mr. Reed did.
`
`MR. CASSADY: Mr. Reed said that these
`
`08:10
`
`14
`
`patents are related to technologies that Microsoft
`
`08:11
`
`15
`
`licenses out.
`
`08:11
`
`16
`
`Now what the Defendant's trying to do is
`
`08:11
`
`17
`
`come in and say that these patents are for Microsoft
`
`08:11
`
`18
`
`Windows products. So if the Windows product is
`
`08:11
`
`19
`
`accused -- or is covered by one of our patents, then it
`
`08:11
`
`20
`
`can't possibly infringe this patent.
`
`08:11
`
`21
`
`They're trying to bring in or backdoor in
`
`08:11
`
`22
`
`an inadmissible argument based on their own patents.
`
`08:11
`
`23
`
`MR. POWERS: May I respond briefly, Your
`
`08:11
`
`24
`
`Honor?
`
`08:11

`25
`
`THE COURT: Yes.

`
`MR. POWERS: Mr. Reed went beyond merely
`
`saying these are patents that Microsoft licenses out.
`
`Mr. Reed attempted to increase the relevance of those
`
`licenses in the eyes of the jury by saying that these
`
`patents related to the accused functionality, and it was
`
`that link that clearly opened the door.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. And for what purpose do
`
`you want to introduce these patents?
`
`MR. POWERS: As evidence of Microsoft's
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:11
`
`08:11
`
`08:11
`

`

`

`
`patents on its own functionality.
`
`08:11
`
`11
`
`If he's relying on them and introducing
`
`08:11
`
`12
`
`them and affirmatively relying on them, the patents
`
`08:11
`
`13
`
`themselves should be in evidence before the jury.
`
`08:11
`
`14
`
`THE COURT: But are you -- are you wanting
`
`08:12
`
`15
`
`to use them to rebut his testimony regarding the damages
`
`08:12
`
`16
`
`issue?
`
`08:12
`
`17
`
`MR. POWERS: In part, yes, but in part,
`
`08:12
`
`18
`
`they should be admissible now that he's opened the door.
`
`08:12
`
`19
`
`He's opened the door to the relevance of those patents.
`
`08:12
`
`20
`
`08:12
`
`21
`
`THE COURT: But --
`
`MR. POWERS: And one purpose would be to
`
`08:12
`
`22
`
`rebut his testimony. One purpose would be that

`08:12

`Microsoft --

`
`MR. POWERS: The relevance in relationship
`
`between those patents and the accused functionality, and
`
`to the extent they actually do cover the accused
`
`functionality, that's relevant to the jury as well.
`
`MR. CASSADY: Your Honor, the only
`
`question that these go to is comparability of the
`
`licenses. Mr. Reed testified about the comparability of
`
`the MCPP and WSPP license programs.
`
`And he said, one reason they're comparable
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`08:12
`
`10
`
`is they include PNRP-related patents and other
`
`08:12
`
`11
`
`technologies. He specifically said that this is what
`
`08:12
`
`12
`
`Windows -- or this is what Microsoft uses to license
`
`08:12
`
`13
`
`that technology out.
`
`08:12
`
`14
`
`He did not say they're related to Windows.
`
`08:12
`
`15
`
`He did not say they're related to server. He did not go
`
`08:12
`
`16
`
`into that detail.
`
`08:12
`
`17
`
`Dr. Ugone can easily get on the stand and
`
`08:13
`
`18
`
`say that these licenses are not comparable without those
`
`08:13
`
`19
`
`patents in his hand, as evidenced by the fact that he
`
`08:13
`
`20
`
`never referred to those patents --
`
`08:13
`
`21
`
`THE COURT: I'm not going to allow the
`
`08:13
`
`22
`
`patents to be introduced. I will allow Dr. Ugone to
`
`08:13
`
`23
`
`testify as to the damages aspect with regard to the
`
`08:13
`
`24
`
`patents.

`

`
`we're clear, you mean he can get up and say that these
`
`cover the Windows products, and they cover the products
`
`in this case, those patents?
`
`THE COURT: No. No.
`
`MR. CASSADY: Okay. Thank you, Your
`
`Honor.
`
`THE COURT: Okay.
`
`MR. POWERS: One housekeeping matter, Your
`
`Honor. I think there's an agreement between the
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`08:13

`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`08:13
`
`10
`
`parties. In that large list of exhibits that we offered
`
`08:13
`
`11
`
`on the first day, Microsoft inadvertently included
`
`08:13
`
`12
`
`DX3455, which is a physical hard drive of the source
`
`08:13
`
`13
`
`code.
`
`08:13
`
`14
`
`And so the parties have agreed that we'll
`
`08:13
`
`15
`
`have a placeholder for that where there will be a
`
`08:13
`
`16
`
`picture of the hard drive, and Microsoft will retain the
`
`08:13
`
`17
`
`physical hard drive in case it's needed for anything.
`
`08:13
`
`18
`
`THE COURT: Yes. And that should be the
`
`08:13
`
`19
`
`practice with any physical objects. Substitute a
`
`08:13
`
`20
`
`photograph for it.
`
`08:13
`
`21
`
`MR. POWERS: The last thing, Your Honor,
`
`08:13
`
`22
`
`on the housekeeping side, I thought Your Honor might
`
`08:14
`
`23
`
`want the times for the depositions that are going to be
`
`08:14
`
`24
`
`read today, so you'll have that in advance.
`
`08:14

`
`12
`
`MR. POWERS: I'll give you the sequence,
`
`if you like. There's going to be four depositions
`
`played before Mr. Ugone goes on. Those will be Becker,
`
`Hopen, Sterne, and then Kindred, and then Dr. Ugone will
`
`go on.
`
`And then the final two witnesses will also
`
`be by deposition. That will be Victor Larson with an O
`
`and then Kindell Larsen with an E. And the times for
`
`all of those depositions are 50 minutes for Microsoft,

`
`08:14
`
`11
`
`08:14
`
`12
`
`08:14
`
`13
`
`THE COURT: Okay. Very good.
`
`All right.
`
`MR. POWERS: I understand that VirnetX's
`
`08:14
`
`14
`
`rebuttal case includes two depositions, which as I
`
`08:14
`
`15
`
`understand it, are about four and a half minutes.
`
`08:14
`
`16
`
`So the total -- and I think almost none
`
`08:15
`
`17
`
`for Microsoft. So the totals for all the depositions
`
`08:15
`
`18
`
`will be 50 for Microsoft and about 22 for VirnetX.
`
`08:15
`
`19
`
`08:15
`
`20
`
`THE COURT: Is that correct?
`
`MR. CALDWELL: I think it actually is
`
`08:15
`
`21
`
`correct, with the exception of the part that VernetX
`
`08:15
`
`22
`
`will not play in its rebuttal case. I think we will
`
`08:15
`
`23
`
`play that by ear. So 50 and 17.
`
`08:15
`
`24
`
`08:15
`
`25
`
`THE COURT: Okay. We'll go --

`
`08:19
`
`11
`
`specifically recall about the technology that you were
`
`08:19
`
`12
`
`shown?
`
`08:19
`
`13
`
`ANSWER: It was a -- it was a solution
`
`08:19
`
`14
`
`to -- they called it EasyVPN. It was a solution to have
`
`08:19
`
`15
`
`their software distribute policy to an IP SEC client and
`
`08:19
`
`16
`
`IP SEC gateway, and they were trying to make it easier
`
`08:19
`
`17
`
`and more intuitive for the end user.
`
`08:19
`
`18
`
`QUESTION: Was SAIC trying to get you at

`08:19

`19
`
`SafeNet interested in their technology?

`
`your recollection of your conclusions about the EasyVPN
`
`technology.
`
`ANSWER: It's an accurate summary.
`
`QUESTION: Does this document, Mr. Becker,
`
`appear to be an accurate summary of SafeNet's evaluation
`
`of the EasyVPN technology that would have been created
`
`in the ordinary course of its business?

`
`08:20
`
`08:20
`
`08:20
`
`08:20
`
`10
`
`to whether the EasyVPN technology would actually
`
`08:20
`
`11
`
`accomplish the simplicity that it was trying to
`
`08:20
`
`12
`
`accomplish?
`
`08:20
`
`13
`
`ANSWER: The concept of -- for the users,
`
`08:21
`
`14
`
`it might be simpler, but there was a lot of complexity
`
`08:21
`
`15
`
`in the software in actually implementing it, especially
`
`08:21
`
`16
`
`with trying to load stuff into a router.
`
`08:21
`
`17
`
`QUESTION: So in your view, would the
`
`08:21
`
`18
`
`technology that SAIC had shown you actually accomplish,
`
`08:21
`
`19
`
`ultimately, any real simplicity?
`
`08:21
`
`20
`
`08:21
`
`21
`
`ANSWER: No, not really.
`
`QUESTION: Is it accurate, as this memo
`
`08:21
`
`22
`
`says, that it seemed that the -- that the complexity it
`
`08:21
`
`23
`
`was trying to eliminate had simply been moved from one
`
`08:21
`
`24
`
`place to another?
`
`08:21
`
`25
`
`ANSWER: That's accurate, yes.

`Case 6:07-cv-00080-LED Document 398 Filed 04/05/10 Page 18 of 153 PageID #: 21483
`
`18
`
`QUESTION: What exactly does it mean that
`
`the complexity that they were trying to eliminate had
`
`simply been moved from one place to another?
`
`ANSWER: Their -- the complexity at the
`
`time of VPNs was configuring policy of who could talk to
`
`who, what different gateways and clients could talk to
`
`each other.
`
`So they were trying to simplify it from
`
`the user's perspective in that they could just use .scom
`
`1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
`
`08:21
`
`08:21
`
`08:21

`
`08:21
`
`08:21
`
`08:21
`
`08:21
`
`10
`
`extensions, and if something was .scom, it would go
`
`08:21
`
`11
`
`secure there.
`
`08:21
`
`12
`
`But the complexity would get moved from
`
`08:22
`
`13
`
`the user's interface now into their software, and from
`
`08:22
`
`14
`
`their software, it would be complex to get it -- to get
`

`
`08:22
`
`16
`
`a VPN client.
`
`08:22
`
`17
`
`So they were moving the complexity kind of
`
`08:22
`
`18
`
`from the user interface down further into the -- into
`
`08:22
`
`19
`
`the networking stack.
`
`08:22
`
`20
`
`QUESTION: So would you call this solution
`
`08:22
`
`21
`
`that SAIC claimed to have, would you call it really just
`
`08:22
`
`22
`
`something that was, in reality, complex?
`
`08:22
`
`23
`
`ANSWER: Yeah. The implementation was
`
`08:22
`
`24

`complex, yes.

`
`technology?
`
`ANSWER: We did not.
`
`QUESTION: Okay. Can you name some VPN
`
`companies that have failed?
`
`ANSWER: There's a company called Open
`
`Reach that failed. I remember the -- there were -- I
`
`don't remember the names of them all. There are a
`
`number of them that have disappeared over the years.

`
`08:23

`
`QUESTION: Just hard to implement?
`
`ANSWER: It's hard to implement, yes.
`
`QUESTION: And I think you said that

`the complexity from -- from the user to the -- to the

`ANSWER: I'm Chris Hopen. I was a

`cofounder of Aventail Corporation back in 1996.
`
`QUESTION: Okay. What were your job
`
`titles while at Aventail?
`
`ANSWER: I ran engineering, so I was Vice
`
`President of engineering and Chief Technology Officer.

`08:26
`
`08:26
`

`
`08:26
`

`
`ANSWER: Aventail connect 3.1 was a piece
`
`08:26
`
`11
`
`of software that would run on an end user's PC that
`
`08:26
`
`12
`
`would provide additional secure communications services
`
`08:26
`
`13
`
`to applications running on that PC. It would -- it was
`
`08:26
`
`14
`
`a client in a pair of a client/server solutions that we
`
`08:26
`
`15
`
`sold.
`
`08:26
`
`16
`
`So it was one component of what we
`
`08:26
`
`17
`
`referred to as Aventail ExtraNet Center. And so
`
`08:26
`
`18
`
`Aventail Connect was the component that was the
`
`08:26
`
`19
`
`client-side software that would be distributed and run
`
`08:26
`
`20
`
`on individual users' systems.

`

`
`QUESTION: What was the name of the other
`
`08:26
`
`22
`
`component of the -- of the Aventail ExtraNet Center?
`
`08:26
`
`23
`
`ANSWER: Yeah. So, typically, ExtraNet
`
`08:26
`
`24
`
`Center was sort of the umbrella name, if you will, for
`
`08:27
`

`
