`
`information systems (GIS) experience.
`
`7.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 21, lines 3 to 22, Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`Exhibit 2005 is a reference that he cited in Exhibit 2004, his prior expert report.
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 2011, on page 26, lines 3 to 13. This
`
`testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s testimony regarding Exhibit 2005.
`
`8.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 24, lines 1 to 10, Dr. Michalson testifies that

`
`9.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 35, line 17 to page 36, line 3, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that in his prior declaration, Exhibit 2006, he states that a POSA is a
`
`hypothetical person to whom an expert in the relevant field could assign a routine
`
`task with reasonable confidence that the task would be successfully carried out.
`
`This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015, paragraph 15. This testimony is
`
`relevant to Dr. Michalson’s requirement that a POSA have knowledge and
`
`experience with GIS.
`
`10.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 34, line 24 to page 35 line 7, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Exhibit 2006 is an excerpt of a declaration that he submitted in
`
`November 2015. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 2011 at page 35, line 17 to
`
`page 36, line 3. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s testimony regarding

`
`11.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 17, lines 18 to 24, Dr. Michalson testifies
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`that Exhibit 2004 states that computer-based GIS have been used since at least the
`
`late 1960s. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s Declaration (Exhibit
`
`1008) at ¶¶ 104–05. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s and Petitioner’s
`
`argument that a POSA would have been motivated to combine the asserted
`
`references as of October 1999 because the reference address similar technology
`
`problems and are applicable to mapping-related applications.
`
`12.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 16, lines 6 to 20, Dr. Michalson testified that
`
`Exhibit 2004 is an expert report authored by Dr. Michalson that includes his
`
`signature. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 2011, on page 17, lines 18 to 24.
`
`This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s testimony regarding Exhibit 2004.
`
`13.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 19, lines 7 to page 20, line 6, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Exhibit 2004 states that by the mid 1980’s it was known that there
`
`were many ways that GIS data could be stored, and that the manner in which data
`
`are stored impacts the time and computer resources required to effectively use the
`
`data. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s Declaration (Exhibit 1008) at
`
`¶¶ 104–05. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s and Petitioner’s argument
`
`that a POSA would have been motivated to combine the asserted references as of
`
`October 1999 because the reference address similar technology problems and are
`
`applicable to mapping-related applications.
`
`14.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 31, lines 8 to 15, Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`Exhibit 2005 states that GIS had become widely accepted as of the late 1980’s in
`
`North America. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s Declaration (Exhibit
`
`1008) at ¶¶ 104–05. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s and Petitioner’s
`
`argument that a POSA would have been motivated to combine the asserted
`
`references as of October 1999 because the reference address similar technology
`
`problems and are applicable to mapping-related applications.
`
`15.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 25, lines 15 to 20, Dr. Michalson testifies
`

`
`onwards. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s Declaration (Exhibit 1008)
`
`at ¶¶ 104–05. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s and Petitioner’s
`
`argument that a POSA would have been motivated as of October 1999 to combine
`
`the asserted references because the reference address similar technology problems
`
`and are applicable to mapping-related applications.
`
`16.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 28, lines 8 to 15, Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`Exhibit 2005 states that the progression of GIS development includes a mixture of
`
`failures, setbacks and diversions, in addition to successes. This testimony is
`
`relevant to Dr. Michalson’s Declaration (Exhibit 1008) at ¶¶ 104–05. The
`
`testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s and Petitioner’s argument that a POSA
`
`would have been motivated to combine the asserted references because the
`
`reference address similar technology problems and are applicable to mapping-
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`related applications.
`
`17.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 28, line 23 to page 29, line 7, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Exhibit 2005 states that the number of failures in the field of GIS have
`
`been numerous. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s Declaration (Exhibit
`
`1008) at ¶¶ 104–05. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s and Petitioner’s
`
`argument that a POSA would have been motivated to combine the asserted
`
`references because the reference address similar technology problems and are
`
`applicable to mapping-related applications.
`
`18.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 29, line 19 to page 30, line 16, Dr.
`
`Michalson testifies that Exhibit 2005, states that desire for greater speed or
`
`efficiency was a known motivation for development of GIS as of 1991 (the
`
`publication date of Exhibit 2005). This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s
`
`Declaration (Exhibit 1008) at ¶¶ 120, 195. The testimony is relevant to Dr.
`
`Michalson’s argument that a POSA would have been motivated to combine the
`
`asserted references in 1999 in order to enhance speed and efficiency.
`
`19.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 37, line 23 to page 38, line 23, Dr.
`
`Michalson testifies that the preferred progressive mesh (PM) technique of Cooper
`
`is to deliver a base mesh, M0, following by a sequence of mesh modification
`
`records, each of which is delivered in a specific sequence, M1, M2, M3, etc., all the
`
`way up to the end of the sequence. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 at
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`
`¶¶ 183–84. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that “the
`
`prioritization of Cooper results in data updates within an object” and that “the
`
`features of Cooper…to utilize the priority queue in order to retrieve successive
`
`data updates within the same object (i.e., progressive regional resolution
`
`enhancement).”
`
`20.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 42, line 11 to page 43, line 6, Dr. Michalson
`
`testified that the Hoppe article, Appendix N to Exhibit 1008, describes that a
`
`conventional progressive mesh technique whereby a course base mesh, M0, is
`
`combined with detail records in sequence, M1, M2, M3, up to N number of detail
`
`records, to build up the fully-detailed mesh. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit
`
`1015 at ¶¶ 183–84. This testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that
`
`“the prioritization of Cooper results in data updates within an object” and that “the
`
`features of Cooper…to utilize the priority queue in order to retrieve successive
`
`data updates within the same object (i.e., progressive regional resolution
`
`enhancement).”
`
`21.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 43, line 17 to page 44, line 6, Dr. Michalson
`
`testified that the Hoppe article describes that cycle-preserving PM (progressive
`
`mesh) also is encoded as a base mesh and a sequence of mesh modification
`
`records. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 at ¶¶ 183–84. This testimony
`
`is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that “the prioritization of Cooper results in
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`
`data updates within an object” and that “the features of Cooper…to utilize the
`
`priority queue in order to retrieve successive data updates within the same object
`
`(i.e., progressive regional resolution enhancement).”
`
`22.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 49, lines 9 to 16 Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`the Hoppe article, Appendix N to Exhibit 1008, lists five bullet points. This
`
`testimony is relevant to Exhibit 2011, on page 53, lines 9 to 18. This testimony is
`
`relevant to Dr. Michalson’s testimony regarding the five bullet points of the Hoppe
`
`article.
`
`23.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 52, lines 5 to 9, Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`the five bullet points listed in the Hoppe article, Appendix N to Exhibit 1008, refer
`
`to practical problems with a highly-detailed geometric model. This testimony is
`
`relevant to Exhibit 2011, on page 53, lines 9 to 18. This testimony is relevant to
`
`Dr. Michalson’s testimony regarding the five bullet points of the Hoppe article.
`
`24.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 53, lines 9 to 18, Dr. Michalson testified that
`
`one bullet point of the Hoppe article refers to additional transmission time that
`
`would be required to transmit successive LOD (level of detail) approximations.
`
`This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶ 184. This testimony is relevant to Dr.
`
`Michalson’s argument that “it would be obvious to apply this teaching of Cooper
`
`to retrieve tiles of progressively increasing resolution form the same portion of a
`
`scene.”
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`
`25.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 53, line 19 to page 54, line 3, Dr. Michalson
`
`testified that one bullet point of the Hoppe article refers to perceptible “popping”
`
`as one of the practical problems with instantaneous switching between LOD
`
`meshes. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶ 184. This testimony is
`
`relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that “it would be obvious to apply this
`
`teaching of Cooper to retrieve tiles of progressively increasing resolution form the
`
`same portion of a scene.”
`
`26.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 54 line 24 to page 55, line 10, Dr. Michalson
`
`testified that Migdal states that in a preferred implementation high-end computer
`
`graphics work station is used. This testimony is relevant to Petitioner’s Reply
`
`(Paper 27) at pages 17–18. This testimony is relevant to Petitioner’s argument that
`
`the assertion that Migdal has a high computation and bandwidth load is
`
`“conclusory” and “vague”.
`
`27.
`
` In Exhibit 2011, on page 70, line 9 to page 71, line 19, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Migdal describes Figure 1B as a conventional example of polygon
`
`perspective to which MIP mapping can be applied, and that Migdal also explains
`
`that conventional MIP mapping has a significant drawback in the amount of
`
`memory used. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶¶ 115–17. The
`
`testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that a Figure 1B of Migdal
`
`would motivate a POSA to combine the asserted references.
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`
`28.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 68, line 3 to page 69, line 9, Dr. Michalson
`
`testified that the background rectangle in figure 1B is a larger area than the
`
`polygons in the foreground area. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶¶
`
`115–17. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that a Figure 1B
`
`of Migdal would motivate a POSA to combine the asserted references.
`
`29.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 63, line 17 to page 64, line 9, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that he does not know if Migdal describes how the background rectangle
`
`of Figure 1B of Migdal is constructed. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015
`
`¶¶ 115–17. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that a Figure
`
`1B of Migdal would motivate a POSA to combine the asserted references.
`
`30.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 65 line 18 to page 66, line 7, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that he does not know if Migdal addresses what the background rectangle
`
`of Figure 1B consists of or is composed of. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit
`
`1015 ¶¶ 115–17. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that a
`
`Figure 1B of Migdal would motivate a POSA to combine the asserted references.
`
`31.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 62, line 18 to page 63, line 2, Dr. Michalson
`
`testified that the paragraph of Migdal that mentions Figure 1B does not include the
`
`word “tile.” This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶¶ 115–17. The testimony
`
`is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that a Figure 1B of Migdal would motivate
`
`a POSA to combine the asserted references.
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`
`32.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 74, line 5 to page 75, line 11, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Figure 4B of Rutledge shows the jump feature of the view menu of
`
`Figure 4A, and that the jump feature lists locations in alphabetical order. This
`
`testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶ 152. The testimony is relevant to Dr.
`
`Michalson’s argument that Rutledge would require panning with “incremental,
`
`ongoing calculation, as each time the eyepoint advances one pixel width, a new
`
`texel row is loaded from mass storage.”
`
`33.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 78, line 10 to page 79, line 13, Dr.
`
`Michalson testifies that Figure 4C of Rutledge represents the move command, and
`
`that Figure 4C includes radio buttons to select “miles” or “kilometers.” This
`
`testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶ 152. The testimony is relevant to Dr.
`
`Michalson’s argument that Rutledge would require panning with “incremental,
`
`ongoing calculation, as each time the eyepoint advances one pixel width, a new
`
`texel row is loaded from mass storage.”
`
`34.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 79, line 24 to page 80, line 23, Dr.
`
`Michalson testifies that “an interpretation” of the square boxes next to the “N”,
`
`“S”, “E”, “W” arrows of Figure 4C of Rutledge would be entry boxes for typing a
`
`numeric entry. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶ 152. The testimony is
`
`relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that Rutledge would require panning with
`
`“incremental, ongoing calculation, as each time the eyepoint advances one pixel
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`
`width, a new texel row is loaded from mass storage.”
`
`35.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 80, line 24 to page 81, line 3, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Figure 4C of Rutledge shows a “move” button bolded at the bottom
`
`right of the figure. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1015 ¶ 152. The
`
`testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that Rutledge would require
`
`panning with “incremental, ongoing calculation, as each time the eyepoint
`
`advances one pixel width, a new texel row is loaded from mass storage.”
`
`36.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 82, lines 4 to 13, Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`Ligtenberg refers to an active file format that is constructed to eliminate redundant
`
`information, with the trade-off being the need to reconstruct the image at any given
`
`resolution. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1008 ¶ 190. The testimony is
`
`relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that Ligtenberg allows “independent access
`
`to image tiles” and lends itself to “bandwidth-efficient image fetching”.
`
`37.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 91, line 8 to page 92, line 6, Dr. Michalson
`
`testifies that Ligtenberg discloses an iterative process for reconstructing an image
`
`at Figure 4 and column 11 starting at line 31, and further that every layer of the file
`
`format consists of four subimages (LL, LH, HL, LL) although “typically, the LL
`
`image is not present because it can be reconstructed from the previous layer.” This
`
`testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1008 ¶ 190. The testimony is relevant to Dr.
`
`Michalson’s argument that Ligtenberg allows “independent access to image tiles”
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`
`and lends itself to “bandwidth-efficient image fetching”.
`
`38.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 83, lines 4 to 19, Dr. Michalson testifies that
`
`Ligtenberg states that, because the user is generally unaware of tile boundaries, a
`
`smaller tile size will reduce the amount of unwanted image portions that are
`
`“reconstructed”. This testimony is relevant to Exhibit 1008 ¶ 190. The testimony
`
`is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that Ligtenberg lends itself to “bandwidth-
`
`efficient image fetching”.
`
`39.
`
`In Exhibit 2011, on page 95, lines 12 to 22, Dr. Michalson testifies
`
`that, the code comment in Appendix A of Ligtenberg refers to a way of accessing
`
`an image via accessing four subimages (LL, LH, HL, and HH) and then
`
`reconstructing the image from these four subimages. This testimony is relevant to
`
`Exhibit 1008 ¶ 190. The testimony is relevant to Dr. Michalson’s argument that
`
`Ligtenberg allows “independent access to image tiles” and lends itself to
`
`“bandwidth-efficient image fetching”.
