`
`Electronics, pursuant to notice, at the law
`

`
`Boulevard, Suite 1000, McLean, Virginia, before
`
`Denise M. Brunet, RPR, a Notary Public in and for

`
`of executing multiple applications simultaneously,
`
`typically. In a monolithic software architecture,
`
`there is only one program running ever.
`
` Q I believe you said in Blanchard there are
`
`functions for contacts, dialing a phone and text
`
`messages; is that accurate?
`
` A I believe that's what I said.
`
` Q And do you believe it's accurate that a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would
`
`understand that the phone in Blanchard had
`
`functions for dialing the phone, sending text
`
`messages and displaying contacts?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Well, Blanchard itself
`
`never goes into details of exactly what is
`
`implemented where. You can just kind of look at
`
`the figures and determine some of the things that
`
`he had in mind that would be implemented with this
`
`invention.

`
`with figure 2. Figure 2 shows a phone, correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And using the phone shown in figure 2, a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would
`
`understand that you could call a phone number.
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And you could receive a phone call,
`
`correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q So those would be functions available
`
`within the phone in Blanchard?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: That is correct.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q To address your counsel's objection, is
`
`it correct that dialing a phone number is a
`
`function available within the phone in Blanchard?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q And if you look at figure 3, there's a
`
`series of screens, and one of them is marked 320.

`
`that particular feature.
`
` Q Didn't you describe that as a
`
`subroutine --
`
` A As I said before --
`
` Q -- in your declaration?
`
` A -- I'm not willing to say that every
`
`single menu item has an associated subroutine.
`
` Q But you're willing to say that some of
`
`them do?
`
` A Certainly some of them do.
`
` Q And you are willing to say that every
`
`menu item has some code that is called when the
`
`item is selected?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. Can you explain the distinction,
`
`then, between having some code that is called and
`
`having a subroutine?
`
` A Well, a subroutine is a very specific
`
`type of code that would be called. Blanchard
`
`doesn't really speak about that. And Blanchard is
`
`intentionally silent about the software
`
`architecture altogether.

`
`example of what is done with the '020 patent.
`
` Q Prior to the filing of the '020 patent,
`
`were both of those options known to a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art for use in a mobile
`
`telephone?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Can you explain -- well, is it correct
`
`that, in your opinion, one of those options might
`
`satisfy the claims of the '020 and '476 patents,
`
`but the other one would not?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Again, is there a part of
`
`my declaration that you're referring to?
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Probably many parts. Let's go to
`
`paragraph 53 on page 28. You say there, "As I
`
`have explained above, Blanchard fails to disclose
`
`any application...."
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A Yes.

`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Now, in the monolithic program that you
`
`believe is described in Blanchard, the portions of
`
`the program that correspond to the specific
`
`functions aren't running before they're selected,
`
`right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: As I said earlier,
`
`Blanchard gives very little clue what happens with
`
`any selection or what's going on ahead of time. I
`
`don't have an opinion about that. I see Blanchard
`
`is a number of screens with options that are
`
`linked in a basic hierarchy, and that's really all
`
`we know about Blanchard.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q I think you've already testified that the
`
`code -- at least in the circumstance where you're
`
`using a CPU and software -- that the code
`
`associated with the "view all" function in the
`
`phone book would be called when the user selected
`
`that option, right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.

`
`Page 63
`
` THE WITNESS: Again, I've continued to
`
`argue with your use of the word "call." It is
`
`possible that there is no call, that perhaps the
`
`code just proceeds from that point on.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Okay. But in your opinion, a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would understand that
`
`one of the possibilities in Blanchard, even if
`
`it's being implemented in a monolithic program the
`
`way you've described, is that when you select a
`
`function, such as "view all" in phone book, what
`
`happens is that you call the instructions
`
`associated with that function, right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: That is a possibility if
`
`the developer implemented it that way.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q And that's the possibility that you
`
`described in paragraph 46 at the bottom of page 24
`
`of your declaration, right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes. That is one of the

`
`possibilities.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q But, in your opinion, when you are
`
`calling instructions to perform one of the
`
`features in Blanchard, that is different from
`
`launching an application because the overall
`
`operating program is already running and can't be
`
`launched; is that right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Turn to page 9 of your declaration. And
`
`seven lines down you state, "As a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would understand, a
`
`software module is not an application."
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q You then state, "A module comprises a
`
`subroutine or function that can be performed
`
`within the monolithic operating program, but is
`
`not separately executable as an application
`
`running on top of an operating system would be."

`

`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Is it correct that the distinction that
`
`you're drawing there is the same one that we've
`
`just discussed?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Let me ask it slightly differently. Is
`
`it correct that the distinction you're drawing
`
`there is that, in a monolithic operating program,
`
`the subroutine or function cannot be launched
`
`because the operating program is already running,
`
`whereas in the architecture of an application on
`
`top of an operating system, the application is
`
`separately executable from the operating system?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q But you agree that both of these
`
`architectures were known for use in a mobile phone
`
`prior to the '020 and '476 patent, right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.

`
` MR. BROWN: I was just going to suggest
`
`that. Let's go off the record.
`
` (Whereupon, a short recess was taken.)
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Mr. Denning, while we were off the
`
`record, did you discuss the subject matter of this
`
`case with your counsel?
`
` A No.
`
` Q If you could turn to page 12 of your
`
`declaration, paragraph 18, you explain that a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would
`
`understand from the '020 patent "that the
`
`graphical user interface described and claimed was
`
`implemented in a device running an operating
`
`system and at least one application on top of the
`
`operating system," correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And you identify portions of the
`
`specification in 19, 20, 21 and 22. Do you see
`
`that?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And then in paragraph 23, you state that

`

`
`these identified portions of the specification
`
`indicate quite clearly to a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art "that the '020 patent's use of
`
`the term 'application' refers to an executable
`
`program that may be open or unopened," correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And later in that paragraph, you refer to
`
`the concept of multiple threads of execution. Do
`
`you see that?
`
` A I do.
`
` Q And you explain specifically that the
`
`reason, in your opinion, that the device of the
`
`'020 patent must be able to perform multiple
`
`threads of execution is the example you noted in
`
`paragraph 22, correct?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q And specifically the logic is that the
`
`specification refers to opening the App Snapshot
`
`while there are other, quote, previously or
`
`currently opened applications, correct?

`
` Do you see that?
`

`
` Q And then it gives an example of a
`
`telephone storage object that contains software
`
`that allows the user to store and retrieve
`
`telephone numbers. Do you see that?
`
` A I do.
`
` Q Are those examples of -- and specifically
`
`the e-mail service object and the telephone
`
`service -- storage object, are those examples of
`
`something that could be considered top-level
`
`functions within the phone described in Oommen?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form and scope.
`
` THE WITNESS: It appears that, by your
`
`question of top-level function, you're asking me
`
`whether there would be some menu that has e-mail
`
`as well as telephone storage as menu items.
`
`Certainly that is very similar to the '020 patent
`
`figure 1 where we have messages, contacts,
`
`calendar and phone. I would say those are
`
`top-level functions.

`
` THE WITNESS: They appear to be common

`
`Blanchard.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q And in the monolithic system described in
`
`Blanchard, the code for the telephone functions is

`
`functions, correct?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: That is correct.
`

`

`
`possible to implement the interface that's shown
`

`
`of these top-level icons? In other words, there
`
`would be a phone book application, a mailbox
`
`application, et cetera.
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I have no idea. You would
`
`have to provide a lot more information on how to
`
`implement this, what needed to be accomplished,
`
`design goals, et cetera, to be able to even
`
`consider whether it could be done or not.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Well, backing up a step, a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art in July of 2000 would
`
`have known that you could implement a phone using
`
`a monolithic operating program architecture or
`
`using an operating system and application
`
`architecture, correct?

`
`details about how to implement using the operating
`
`system and application architecture, right?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
`Page 100
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q So it uses the word "application"
`
`repeatedly and it occasionally refers to an
`
`operating system, but it doesn't describe any ways
`
`of actually implementing that, right?
`
` A That is correct.
`
` Q So the '020 patent assumes that the
`
`knowledge of how to implement something using an
`
`operating system and application architecture is
`
`already possessed by a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art, correct? And I should clarify. By
`
`"something," I mean a mobile phone. So let me
`
`just ask the question again without the word
`
`"something."
`
` Isn't it true that the '020 patent
`
`assumes that the knowledge of how to implement a
`
`mobile phone using an operating system and
`
`application architecture was already possessed by

`
`a person of ordinary skill in the art as of July
`
`Page 101
`
`of 2000?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Can you think of any reason why the user
`
`interface that's shown in Blanchard could not be
`
`implemented by a person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art using the operating system and application
`
`architecture that they knew how to use?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: As I said before, Blanchard
`
`doesn't really tell you how to do it. Blanchard
`
`shows you what should happen when I touch a left
`
`or a right or an up or a down button, that the
`
`screen advances from one point to another. It
`
`doesn't talk about anything as far as a software
`
`level or how that could be accomplished.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Right. In fact, I think Blanchard
`
`says -- at column 5, it says systems utilize --
`
`I'm at line 14 -- "systems utilize a variety of

`
`problem of having the top-level icons selectable
`
`for launching all of the applications that would
`
`be riding on top of the operating system. Somehow
`
`the system has to know how to get from one to the
`
`next. And, as I said, I don't have enough
`
`information to tell me how to do that.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Doesn't Blanchard tell you you just click
`
`the arrow keys to move left and right?
`
` A Blanchard tells me that when you click
`
`the arrow keys left and right, a different screen
`
`appears. Blanchard is silent from there on as to
`
`what happens.
`
` Q In fact, it's intentionally silent. It
`
`says it can be implemented using any of the known
`
`phone configurations, right?
`
` A I agree, it says that.
`
` Q So is there any obstacle that you can
`
`think of in implementing the interface shown in
`
`Blanchard on a mobile telephone using what you've
`
`called an operating system application
`
`architecture?

`
` Q Turn the page, please, to column 3 of

`
`Oommen.
`
` A Okay.
`
` Q Take a look at line 16. Do you see
`
`there's a control program described there?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q What is your understanding about how
`
`control program 200 is different from operating
`
`program 100 that was quoted at Oommen column 1,
`
`lines 20 to 28?
`
` MR. BROWN: Objection. Leading.
`
` MR. HELGE: Well, in that case, I will
`
`rephrase my question.
`
`BY MR. HELGE:
`
` Q Mr. Denning, turn back to column 3,
`
`line 16.
`
` A Okay.
`
` Q Is there any advantage that you're aware
`
`of for non-monolithic programs relative to
`
`monolithic programs?

`
` THE WITNESS: Applications can be easily
`
`swapped out on application operating
`
`system-layered programs -- I'm sorry, systems.
`
` THE REPORTER: I'm sorry?
`
` THE WITNESS: One advantage is that
`
`applications can be easily swapped out or replaced
`
`with an application operating system architecture
`
`where, with monolithic programs, it's not possible
`
`to swap out a particular function without doing
`
`all of them.
`
`BY MR. HELGE:
`
` Q And are you aware of how Oommen describes
`
`its e-mail software within control program 200?
`
` A In line 29, it describes it as an e-mail
`
`service object which can be replaced -- to replace
`
`e-mail service object 204B.
`
` Q In providing your opinion about the type
`
`of software included in Blanchard, do you have a
`
`recollection whether you were describing
`
`monolithic or non-monolithic -- excuse me. I'm
`
`going to restate my question.

`
`characteristics of a control program in line 21?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q How does Oommen describe the
`
`characteristics -- or a characteristic of a
`
`control program?
`
` A "One of the advantages of a
`
`non-monolithic control program is that it
`
`facilitates over-the-air updating of services
`
`offered to users."
`
` Q Does that disclosure lend any weight to
`
`your understanding of what type of software
`
`control program 200 is?
`
` MR. BROWN: Objection. Leading.
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. HELGE:
`
` Q And what would that type be?
`
` A Most likely, it would be application on
`
`top of operating system level.
`
` Q Is control program 200 monolithic?
`
` A Specifically, it says, "One of the
`
`advantages of a non-monolithic control program."

`
` FURTHER EXAMINATION BY COUNSEL FOR LG ELECTRONICS
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Mr. Denning, is it correct that your
`
`testimony just now is that the control
`
`program 200, as described in Oommen, is most
`
`likely an operating system?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: It has a number of things
`
`in common with an operating system. I will say
`
`that. I cannot say for certain that it is an
`
`operating system.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q So I heard you say just now that
`
`something was most likely applications on top of
`
`an operating system. What was it?
`
` A Most likely.
`
` Q Okay. What were you referring to in that
`
`answer?
`
` A Control program 200.
`
` Q I see. And if it is, in fact,
`
`applications on top of an operating system, is it
`
`correct that the applications would be the objects

`

`
`and the operating system would be the control
`
`program 200?
`
` A You know, as I said before, I really have
`
`not formed an opinion about what is -- what an
`
`object is. That's just not something that I've
`
`considered.
`
` Q Okay. Well, when you said it was most
`
`likely applications on top of an operating system,
`
`how were you mapping that phrase to what's
`
`described in Oommen? What was the applications
`
`and what was the operating system?
`
` A In particular, we were referring to -- I
`
`say "we" -- the question my counsel asked me, and
`
`my answer is the ability to update particular
`
`modules, for lack of a better word, or objects in
`
`this case.
`
` That is something that is common, as I
`
`expressed earlier, with an operating system
`
`application type architecture, that the
`
`applications can be easily swapped out. These
`
`objects also can be easily swapped out. That's
`
`about the only conclusion that I can draw from

`
` Q Do you agree that Oommen is explaining
`
`that it is preferable to use an architecture where
`
`the modules for things like e-mail can be easily
`
`swapped out?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: That certainly seems to be
`
`something emphasized in Oommen's specification.
`
`BY MR. BROWN:
`
` Q Can you think of any reasons why a person

`
`not want -- would not have wanted to use that
`
`architecture?
`
` MR. HELGE: Object to form.
`
` THE WITNESS: I can think of constraints
`
`that would prevent it.
