`
`·2· · · · · · · · · ·DAVID A. McNAMARA
`
`·3· ·a witness called for examination, having been
`
`·4· ·previously duly sworn, was examined and testified
`
`·5· ·further as follows:
`
`·6· · · · · · · · ·CONTINUED EXAMINATION
`
`·7· ·BY MR. RITCHESON:
`
`·8· · · · · Q.· · Mr. McNamara, you are still under
`
`·9· ·oath from yesterday.· Do you understand that?
`
`10· · · · · A.· · Yes, I do.· I am under oath.
`
`11· · · · · Q.· · I trust you did not speak with
`
`12· ·anybody about your testimony?
`
`13· · · · · A.· · No, I did not.
`
`14· · · · · Q.· · Did you read any documents for
`
`15· ·preparing yourself to testify today, last night?
`
`16· · · · · A.· · I refreshed myself by reading my
`
`17· ·declaration, that is it.
`
`18· · · · · Q.· · We broke yesterday speaking about
`
`19· ·the combination of Pagliaroli as a base reference
`
`20· ·with Frossard as a secondary reference.· Do you
`
`21· ·remember that?
`
`22· · · · · A.· · Yes, I do.
`
`23· · · · · Q.· · Now, at the end of the day
`
`24· ·yesterday, you, if you look at -- if you turn to
`
`25· ·Pagliaroli which is the base reference,
`
`233 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·Exhibit 11, you directed our attention to -- and
`
`·2· ·my recollection is that there is a line of
`
`·3· ·questioning having to do with whether the mobile
`
`·4· ·tower, or the cell tower was, had intelligence.
`
`·5· · · · · · · · And you directed our attention to
`
`·6· ·the bottom of Column 5, and the top of Line 6.
`
`·7· ·Am I generally accurate in my recollection?
`
`·8· · · · · A.· · I would have to -- can I read my
`
`·9· ·answer from last time?
`
`10· · · · · · · · MR. RITCHESON:· Can we access his
`
`11· · · ·answer from yesterday?
`
`12· · · · · · · · (Whereupon, a discussion off the
`
`13· · · ·record took place.)
`
`14· · · · · · · · (Whereupon, the record was read by
`
`15· · · ·the reporter as requested.)
`
`16· ·BY MR. RITCHESON:
`
`17· · · · · Q.· · Does the cell tower in Pagliaroli
`
`18· ·have intelligence?
`
`19· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`20· · · · · Q.· · What does the term intelligence mean
`
`21· ·as you have just used that term?
`
`22· · · · · A.· · Generally, to me being able to
`
`23· ·perform operations, actions, determine as all
`
`24· ·cell towers, is this an authorized user,
`
`25· ·security, you know, it can be as mundane as a
`
`234 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·mobile phone user paid their bills, you know,
`
`·2· ·should they place the call.
`
`·3· · · · · · · · And then also making sure that the
`
`·4· ·information is correctly formatted and, you know,
`
`·5· ·translated into the protocol, the mobile
`
`·6· ·telephone protocol which could be CDMA, it could
`
`·7· ·be other, you know, protocols for communication
`
`·8· ·and send it to the car.
`
`·9· · · · · Q.· · In 1993, did all cell towers have
`
`10· ·the intelligence that you have just described?
`
`11· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`12· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· And, what is a cell tower in
`
`13· ·the answer you just gave?
`
`14· · · · · A.· · Cell tower, well, I was not talking
`
`15· ·about a cell tower specifically; I was talking
`
`16· ·about a mobile communication system, because I
`
`17· ·mentioned elements of server, communications to
`
`18· ·the mobile user, communications to the car.
`
`19· · · · · · · · So, a cell tower would be part of
`
`20· ·the communication system.
`
`21· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· So the cell tower itself does
`
`22· ·not have the intelligence attributes that you
`
`23· ·have just described; is that correct?
`
`24· · · · · A.· · It may not have the billing --
`
`25· · · · · Q.· · It may not have the what?
`
`235 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· · · · · A.· · It may not have the billing and
`
`·2· ·other functions.· It might have intelligence
`
`·3· ·to -- it definitely has intelligence to be able
`
`·4· ·to operate the communications protocol.
`
`·5· · · · · Q.· · And, again I understand, but I want
`
`·6· ·to make sure that you agree, that we are talking
`
`·7· ·about cell towers as they existed in 1993.
`
`·8· ·Correct?
`
`·9· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`10· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· And -- actually I misstated.
`
`11· ·It is actually cell towers as they existed in
`
`12· ·1991 because that is the date that Pagliaroli
`
`13· ·actually discloses the cell tower, correct?
`
`14· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`15· · · · · Q.· · So, that is what he, they were
`
`16· ·talking about, is in 1991, cell tower, correct?
`
`17· · · · · A.· · No, I think they are talking about a
`
`18· ·communication system.· I think it is more than
`
`19· ·just a tower.
`
`20· · · · · Q.· · With respect to that portion of the
`
`21· ·Pagliaroli reference that we have been
`
`22· ·discussing, however, it only references a
`
`23· ·transmitter, correct?
`
`24· · · · · · · · They don't reference any of these
`
`25· ·other portions that you have brought into
`
`236 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·Pagliaroli.
`
`·2· · · · · A.· · And once again, what section was I
`
`·3· ·reading?
`
`·4· · · · · Q.· · The end of Column 5, beginning at
`
`·5· ·approximately Line 66 to the top of Column 6,
`
`·6· ·approximately to the end of, let's just call it
`
`·7· ·Line 6.
`
`·8· · · · · A.· · Well the term cell tower is not used
`
`·9· ·in that.· It is mobile telephone transmitter.
`
`10· · · · · · · · You are using the terminology cell
`
`11· ·tower.
`
`12· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· Let's use the term
`
`13· ·transmitter.
`
`14· · · · · · · · Well, is the, in Pagliaroli is the
`
`15· ·cell tower a transmitter, Mr. McNamara?
`
`16· · · · · A.· · It can be.
`
`17· · · · · Q.· · Isn't that what is disclosed in
`
`18· ·Pagliaroli?
`
`19· · · · · A.· · Well, I'm just saying that I would,
`
`20· ·someone skilled in the art would say mobile
`
`21· ·telephone transmitter, probably the cell tower,
`
`22· ·or someone skilled in the art could say it, you
`
`23· ·know, cell towers were very, transmitters were
`
`24· ·very intelligent, it could be some control
`
`25· ·apparatus.
`
`237 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· · · · · Q.· · When you say transmitters are very
`
`·2· ·intelligent, are you using intelligence in the
`
`·3· ·same manner that you have described for us
`
`·4· ·previously?· That is that transmitters, for
`
`·5· ·example, have security functionality?
`
`·6· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`·7· · · · · Q.· · And they have knowledge of
`
`·8· ·formatting?
`
`·9· · · · · A.· · Protocol, yes.
`
`10· · · · · Q.· · And they have knowledge of
`
`11· ·operations such as billing?
`
`12· · · · · A.· · Most likely not.
`
`13· · · · · Q.· · And they have the ability to
`
`14· ·transmit signals of their own volition, that is
`
`15· ·act as a generating source?
`
`16· · · · · A.· · Acting as a generating source.· They
`
`17· ·are acting as a generating source.
`
`18· · · · · Q.· · They are acting as a transmitting
`
`19· ·sorry; is that correct?
`
`20· · · · · · · · MR. O'REILLY:· Objection, asked and
`
`21· · · ·answered.
`
`22· · · · · · · · THE WITNESS:· Transmitting, yes.
`
`23· ·BY MR. RITCHESON:
`
`24· · · · · Q.· · So, the intelligence that you are
`
`25· ·inferring from this passage of Pagliaroli is, you
`
`238 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·understand based on this passage, or perhaps
`
`·2· ·other passages that you can point us to that the
`
`·3· ·Transmitter 46 can do what?· That is a sign of
`
`·4· ·intelligence?
`
`·5· · · · · · · · MR. O'REILLY:· Same objection.
`
`·6· · · · · · · · THE WITNESS:· The fact that it can
`
`·7· · · ·be disabled and recovered, and could be
`
`·8· · · ·selectively enabled by transmitting an
`
`·9· · · ·enabling code from the mobile telephone
`
`10· · · ·transmitter.
`
`11· · · · · · · · So, the transmitter has the
`
`12· · · ·intelligence to determine it has an enabling
`
`13· · · ·code.
`
`14· · · · · · · · And, as part of the mobile
`
`15· · · ·communication systems, it performs an
`
`16· · · ·operation to send that enabling code.
`
`17· ·BY MR. RITCHESON:
`
`18· · · · · Q.· · Do you believe that the transmitter
`
`19· ·stores in memory the code that it is ultimately
`
`20· ·transmitting to the vehicle?
`
`21· · · · · A.· · It could remember that this code
`
`22· ·goes with this car.
`
`23· · · · · Q.· · And, where is that?· Where is that
`
`24· ·memory that houses that set of information?
`
`25· · · · · A.· · It could be in the transmitter; it
`
`239 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·could be by the transmitter, well it is part of
`
`·2· ·the transmitter system.
`
`·3· · · · · Q.· · Is it part of the transmitter
`
`·4· ·itself?
`
`·5· · · · · A.· · Transmitters, yes, if it is a
`
`·6· ·transmitter system, yes.
`
`·7· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· And is that what Pagliaroli
`
`·8· ·has said?
`
`·9· · · · · A.· · Someone skilled in the art is
`
`10· ·reading the whole paragraph and saying we are
`
`11· ·talking about a system and something much more
`
`12· ·than the cell tower.
`
`13· · · · · · · · And, also reading in support of my
`
`14· ·answer.
`
`15· · · · · Q.· · Would you like to turn to something?
`
`16· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`17· · · · · Q.· · Could we just make, just for the
`
`18· ·clarity of the record if you want to turn
`
`19· ·something would you just announce it?
`
`20· · · · · A.· · Thank you.· Yes, the institutional
`
`21· ·declaration.
`
`22· · · · · Q.· · Your declaration in support of --
`
`23· · · · · A.· · No, the PTAB's -- I'm trying to find
`
`24· ·it here.
`
`25· · · · · Q.· · Hold on.· Before you do that, the
`
`240 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·PTAB's decision on institution came after your
`
`·2· ·declaration, correct?
`
`·3· · · · · A.· · I know.
`
`·4· · · · · Q.· · It cannot, therefore, support your
`
`·5· ·declaration.
`
`·6· · · · · A.· · It doesn't.· But it is asserting my
`
`·7· ·opinion right now.
`
`·8· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· But we are not talking, we
`
`·9· ·are talking about a cross-examination in your
`
`10· ·declaration, but, you can go ahead.· That is
`
`11· ·fine.· I want to make sure that you have a full
`
`12· ·opportunity to respond.
`
`13· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`14· · · · · Q.· · Why don't you go ahead.
`
`15· · · · · · · · (Whereupon, a discussion off the
`
`16· ·record took place.)
`
`17· · · · · · · · THE WITNESS:· My answer is the
`
`18· · · ·support of my opinion that the memory can be
`
`19· · · ·just about anywhere.· It can be at the
`
`20· · · ·transmitter, answering your question, from
`
`21· · · ·Exhibit 12, Page 9, this is from the, is it
`
`22· · · ·the PTAB, yes.
`
`23· · · · · · · · Reading in the middle of the page,
`
`24· · · ·"A network environment or communication
`
`25· · · ·system can include any number of network
`
`241 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· · · ·devices or communications equipment."
`
`·2· · · · · · · · And that --
`
`·3· ·BY MR. RITCHESON:
`
`·4· · · · · Q.· · Where are you?· I'm so sorry.
`
`·5· · · · · A.· · Middle of Page 9 of Exhibit 12.
`
`·6· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· But, this is a discussion by
`
`·7· ·the PTAB with reference to whether control
`
`·8· ·devices are distinct from communication systems?
`
`·9· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`10· · · · · Q.· · But this doesn't address whether in
`
`11· ·Pagliaroli there is memory located at Element 46,
`
`12· ·the transmitter.
`
`13· · · · · A.· · It says that there is a common
`
`14· ·understanding that someone skilled in the art,
`
`15· ·that the memory can be just about anywhere and
`
`16· ·that these devices and these communication
`
`17· ·systems are, have control, memory, have
`
`18· ·communications, aspects to them.
`
`19· · · · · Q.· · I just did a search for the word
`
`20· ·memory and it doesn't appear anywhere in the
`
`21· ·institution decision.
`
`22· · · · · · · · So, what you just said is not
`
`23· ·actually in that document, is it Mr. McNamara?
`
`24· · · · · · · · You just represented the PTAB said
`
`25· ·that the memory could be anywhere.· Isn't that
`
`242 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·true that that statement is incorrect, entirely,
`
`·2· ·Mr. McNamara?
`
`·3· · · · · · · · The PTAB doesn't say that in its
`
`·4· ·institution decision.
`
`·5· · · · · A.· · I'm just saying that generally a
`
`·6· ·network, it is my interpretation of what they
`
`·7· ·said.
`
`·8· · · · · Q.· · But it doesn't say that.· So, let's
`
`·9· ·make sure that we are using language accurately.
`
`10· · · · · A.· · But, does say, what I am going to
`
`11· ·say, the answer to my question, what it does say
`

`
`22· · · · · A.· · This passage is talking about a
`
`23· ·situation where the automobile has been disabled
`

`
`25· · · · · Q.· · I understand that.
`
`248 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· · · · · A.· · Yes, and it is a particular case
`
`·2· ·where you have the option of either sending a
`
`·3· ·signal over the mobile tower or inputting the
`
`·4· ·code.· But once again the mobile telephone tower
`
`·5· ·has the intelligence or transmitter system has
`
`·6· ·the intelligence to do that.
`
`·7· · · · · · · · And then you have the option of, of
`
`·8· ·course, the operator going to the vehicle and
`
`·9· ·entering the code into the keypad.
`
`10· · · · · Q.· · I understand.· The question I asked
`
`11· ·you is whether Transmitter 46 can send this
`
`12· ·enabling code without any input from the user?
`
`13· · · · · A.· · Oh, I didn't hear that part of the
`
`14· ·user.
`
`15· · · · · Q.· · Owner.
`
`16· · · · · A.· · The tower needs, yes, the tower
`
`17· ·needs the, or the communication system needs
`
`18· ·input from the user.
`
`19· · · · · Q.· · What input do you believe is needed?
`
`20· · · · · A.· · I think the abstract has a good
`
`21· ·summary.· "When the owner of an automobile finds
`
`22· ·the vehicle stolen, the owner dials the telephone
`
`23· ·number corresponding to the disabling code of the
`
`24· ·automobile.· The dialed number causes a signal
`
`25· ·code to be transmitted from the mobile telephone
`
`249 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007
`Nissan North America, Inc. v. JCMS
`
`

`
`·1· ·transmitted network, wherein the signal code is
`
`·2· ·received by the stolen automobile."
`
`·3· · · · · · · · So, that is describing the chain of
`
`·4· ·communications.
`
`·5· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· And it is your understanding
`
`·6· ·that that is the chain of communications that is
`
`·7· ·occurring within the passage that you have been
`
`·8· ·discussing with us at the bottom of Column 5 to
`
`·9· ·the top of Column 6?
`
`10· · · · · · · · Do you still have my question in
`
`11· ·mind Mr. McNamara?
`
`12· · · · · A.· · Sure do.
`
`13· · · · · Q.· · I usually ask that if there is a
`
`14· ·long pause.
`
`15· · · · · A.· · Yes, I would, you know, that is the
`
`16· ·chain of communications in view.
`
`17· · · · · Q.· · Do you understand that the enabling
`
`18· ·code, the operation of the enabling code to be
`
`19· ·any different than the operation of the disabling
`
`20· ·code?
`
`21· · · · · A.· · There is a distinction in that
`
`22· ·reading from Column 2.
`
`23· · · · · · · · Once the -- reading from Column 2,
`
`24· ·48, 47, Line 47.· "Once the owner of the
`
`25· ·automobile discovers that the automobile has been
`
`250 of 449
`
`JCMS - EXHIBIT 2007

`
`

`
`·1· ·stolen, the operator dials a predetermined number
`
`·2· ·corresponding to the receiver.
`
`·3· · · · · · · · "The number is then transmitted from
`
`·4· ·the signal towers of the mobile network in use.
`
`·5· ·The receiver receives it and transmits it to the
`
`·6· ·disabling code, and the enabling code stored in
`
`·7· ·the receiver" -- okay.
`
`·8· · · · · Q.· · How does that help?
`
`·9· · · · · A.· · Yes, that is the same process.
`
`10· · · · · Q.· · Okay, yes.· And the receiver that is
`
`11· ·referenced in the passage that you have just
`
`12· ·read, where is that receiver located?
`
`13· ·Specifically that portion at 52 through 53, 54,
`
`14· ·excuse me, reading, "The receiver receives a
`
`15· ·transmitted signal and compares it to a disabling
`
`16· ·code and an enabling code stored within the
`
`17· ·receiver."
`
`18· · · · · · · · Where is that receiver located?
`
`19· · · · · A.· · As shown in Figure 1 of Exhibit 11,
`
`20· ·it is, Item 14, the receiver in the car.
`
`21· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· So it is at the vehicle?
`
`22· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`23· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· So, the receiver at the
`
`24· ·vehicle receives a signal that is transmitted
`
`25· ·from the user's phone.

`
`

`
`·1· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`·2· · · · · Q.· · And after it receives that signal,
`
`·3· ·it has the intelligence to receive and compare
`
`·4· ·the codes that it has received, correct?
`
`·5· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`·6· · · · · Q.· · Just so I am understanding, so the
`
`·7· ·roles of the components in the system and I'm not
`
`·8· ·an expert on this as you can tell, so I
`
`·9· ·appreciate your taking the time to help me out.
`
`10· · · · · · · · The signal code is Signal Code 40,
`
`11· ·is that -- and I'm -- by, the reference I'm still
`
`12· ·in Column 5.· But you should feel free to look at
`
`13· ·the other elements that are called out in the
`
`14· ·figures.
`
`15· · · · · · · · For example, I see a 40, I don't
`
`16· ·know if that refreshes your recollection.
`
`17· · · · · · · · You can also look at, anywhere you
`
`18· ·like, but where I am looking is at Column 5 where
`
`19· ·it describes Signal Code 40.
`
`20· · · · · A.· · And your question is?
`
`21· · · · · Q.· · What is Element 40.
`
`22· · · · · A.· · I think a good explanation of 40 is
`
`23· ·Exhibit 11 reading --
`
`24· · · · · Q.· · The Pagliaroli patent?
`
`25· · · · · A.· · Yes, thank you.· Reading Line 54.

`
`·1· · · · · Q.· · Of what column?
`
`·2· · · · · A.· · Oh, excuse me.· Four.· Column 4,
`
`·3· ·Line 53, starting "The receiver can receive a
`
`·4· ·Signal Code 40 from two sources.· First a Signal
`
`·5· ·Code 40 may come from a mobile telephone Signal

`
`13· · · · · · · · And the Signal Code 40 can also --
`
`14· ·yes, that is my answer, yes.
`
`15· · · · · Q.· · Well, okay.· You didn't read the
`
`16· ·passage correctly, did you?· It is not from two
`
`17· ·sources, it is from one of two sources, correct?
`

`
`·2· · · · · A.· · Thank you.· I was looking for that.
`
`·3· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· And that was at Column 5,
`
`·4· ·beginning at approximately Line 15?
`
`·5· · · · · A.· · Yes.
`
`·6· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· One of the dangers of reading
`
`·7· ·things like abstracts and even summaries of the
`
`·8· ·inventions is sometimes they say things that
`

`
`10· · · · · · · · The summary of invention that we
`

`
`

`
`·1· · · · · A.· · In one of the ways it is disclosed.
`
`·2· · · · · Q.· · Okay.· Anything, well, let me just
`
`·3· ·draw your attention to what I am looking at.
`
`·4· · · · · · · · Isn't it true that the comparison
`
`·5· ·that we have discussed with respect to the code
`
`·6· ·that is received and the code that is used is
`
`·7· ·actually done in Control Unit 16 and not in
`
`·8· ·Receiver 14.
`
`·9· · · · · A.· · It could be done both ways.· It is,
`
`10· ·someone skilled in the art would say, do I tell
`
`11· ·the control unit that I have the right signal --
`
`12· ·rephrase that a little bit better.
`
`13· · · · · · · · That we have the right car and you
`
`14· ·need to take an action; it could be just enabling
`
`15· ·the control unit, the receiver could send the
`
`16· ·data to the control unit, let the control unit
`
`17· ·make that decision.
`
`18· · · · · · · · There could be different ways of
`
`19· ·doing that.
`
`20· · · · · Q.· · Other than the single reference that
`
`21· ·we, or the single quote that we just discussed in
`
`22· ·Column 2, are you aware of any other portion of
`
`23· ·the Pagliaroli patent that describes the
`
`24· ·transmit, or the Receiver 14 as anything other
`

`
`·3· ·know, the receivers are not dumb.· They are very
`
`·4· ·complex in the sense they have to deal with
`
`·5· ·different protocols and as described here they
`
`·6· ·can also have additional functions.
`
`·7· · · · · · · · "If the Receiver 14 were embodied in
`
`·8· ·an actual mobile telephone unit, the Signal Code
`
`·9· ·40 may encompass the actual phone number of the
`
`10· ·mobile telephone plus an additional signal code
`

`
`12· ·from a common mobile telephone incoming signal."
`
