`·3· · · · Q.· ·So just -- just testing viruses?
`·4· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.

`·3· · · · A.· ·I believe around 40 companies.
`·4· ·It's a company membership basis.
`·5· · · · · · · · · · MR. HANNAH:· Mark Exhibit 1,
`·6· · · · · · ·please.
`·7· · · · · · · · · · (Exhibit 1, Declaration,
`·8· · · · · · · · · · marked for identification,
`·9· · · · · · · · · · as of this date.)
`10· · · · Q.· ·The court reporter just handed you
`11· ·what's been marked as Exhibit 1.
`12· · · · A.· ·Yes.
`13· · · · · · · · · · MR. HANNAH:· For the record,
`14· · · · · · ·Exhibit 1 is entitled "Declaration
`15· · · · · · ·of John Hawes Virus Bulletin."
`16· ·BY MR. HANNAH:
`17· · · · Q.· ·Do you recognize Exhibit 1, sir?
`18· · · · A.· ·I do, yes.
`19· · · · Q.· ·What is Exhibit 1?
`20· · · · A.· ·It's a declaration I signed a few
`21· ·months ago.
`22· · · · Q.· ·Did you prepare any other
`23· ·declarations for this case?
`24· · · · A.· ·No.
`25· · · · Q.· ·Can you please explain to me the
`Page 10
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· ·process of preparing this declaration?
`·3· · · · A.· ·I was asked to prepare it.
`·4· · · · Q.· ·Who asked you to prepare it?
`·5· · · · A.· ·I believe his name is Patrick
`·6· ·Lenihan.
`·7· · · · Q.· ·What did Patrick tell you?
`·8· · · · A.· ·I think the first thing he asked me
`·9· ·was if we had a copy of a particular paper in
`10· ·our company records, and if we could provide
`11· ·him with a scan of that, and then he asked if
`12· ·I could sign something to say that I had
`13· ·scanned that from our company records.
`14· · · · Q.· ·When did Patrick contact you?
`15· · · · A.· ·Oh, I don't know off the top of my
`16· ·head.· I would say, three months ago.
`17· ·Something like that.
`18· · · · Q.· ·So he first contacted you asking
`19· ·you for a particular article, correct?
`20· · · · A.· ·Yes, I think so.· Yes.
`21· · · · Q.· ·And then you provided that article
`22· ·to him and then later he contacted you asking
`23· ·you for a declaration; is that correct?
`24· · · · A.· ·Yes.
`25· · · · Q.· ·When did he contact you -- after
`
`Page 11
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· ·the first time he contacted you asking you
`·3· ·for the article, when was the next time you
`·4· ·had any contact with anybody involved in this
`·5· ·case?
`·6· · · · A.· ·I think the process of finding --
`·7· ·scanning the article involved several e-mails
`·8· ·with Patrick for several weeks, and then the
`·9· ·next contact I had was probably a month or so
`10· ·ago.
`11· · · · Q.· ·Who contacted you?
`12· · · · A.· ·Brian.
`13· · · · Q.· ·What did you and Brian talk about?
`14· · · · A.· ·He asked if I would be available to
`15· ·make a deposition.
`16· · · · Q.· ·So let's back up.· So Patrick
`17· ·contacted you asking you for the article.
`18· ·How did the declaration come about?
`19· · · · A.· ·When I said I had the article, he
`20· ·said, would I be prepared to give him a copy,
`21· ·and then also to sign something to say that I
`22· ·had found and prepared that copy for him.
`23· · · · Q.· ·So this happened within that --
`24· ·those first few weeks after the first
`25· ·contact?
`
`Page 12
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· · · · A.· ·Yes.
`·3· · · · Q.· ·Who actually wrote your
`·4· ·declaration?
`·5· · · · · · · · · · MR. EUTERMOSER:· Object to
`·6· · · · · · ·the form.
`·7· ·BY MR. HANNAH:
`·8· · · · Q.· ·So just to be clear, counsel -- I
`·9· ·guess not your counsel -- but counsel that's
`10· ·sitting here is -- can lodge objections to
`11· ·the questions.
`12· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.
`13· · · · Q.· ·That will be ruled on later.
`14· · · · A.· ·True.
`15· · · · Q.· ·But you are still obligated to
`16· ·answer my questions.· That's going to be
`17· ·dealt with later.· The objection will be
`18· ·dealt with at a later time by a judge.
`19· · · · A.· ·Okay.
`20· · · · Q.· ·So when he objects, you can wait
`21· ·until his objection is done, but you still
`22· ·have to answer my question, if that makes
`23· ·sense.
`24· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.
`25· · · · Q.· ·So let me just ask the question
`
`Patent Owner Finjan, Inc. - Ex. 2014, p. 3
`
`

`
`Page 13
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· ·again so the record is clear.
`·3· · · · · · ·Who wrote your declaration?
`·4· · · · · · · · · · MR. EUTERMOSER:· Object to
`·5· · · · · · ·the form.
`·6· · · · · · · · · · THE WITNESS:· I think
`·7· · · · · · ·Patrick sent me a sort of basic
`·8· · · · · · ·skeleton saying these are the
`·9· · · · · · ·things you would need to say, but I
`10· · · · · · ·filled in all the details.
`11· ·BY MR. HANNAH:
`12· · · · Q.· ·Do you remember what details,
`13· ·looking at Exhibit 1, that you filled in?
`14· · · · A.· ·My employer, and my job title, work
`15· ·history, details about Virus Bulletin,
`16· ·details of number of attendees of the
`17· ·conference, where it was held.· I think
`18· ·that's all.
`19· · · · Q.· ·So looking at your declaration it
`20· ·says, "Virus Bulletin is an online magazine
`21· ·about the prevention, detection, and removal
`22· ·of malware and spam."· Do you see that?
`23· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.
`24· · · · Q.· ·Has Virus Bulletin always been an
`25· ·online magazine?
`
`Page 14
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· · · · A.· ·No.· We had -- we were a physical
`·3· ·magazine until probably around ten years ago,
`·4· ·by the time I joined.
`·5· · · · Q.· ·So in 2006 it went online?
`·6· · · · A.· ·Sometime shortly prior to that. I
`·7· ·think, yes.
`·8· · · · Q.· ·So 2005 time frame?
`·9· · · · A.· ·Probably, yes.
`10· · · · Q.· ·Before 2005, was it just a physical
`11· ·magazine?
`12· · · · A.· ·We also ran conferences and it was
`13· ·both physical and digital for several years
`14· ·before that, before we stopped printing.
`15· · · · Q.· ·Do you know when Virus Bulletin
`16· ·went online?
`17· · · · A.· ·Not off the top of my head, no.
`18· · · · Q.· ·Do you know when Virus Bulletin
`19· ·stopped printing?
`20· · · · A.· ·Again, not off the top of my head,
`21· ·no.
`22· · · · Q.· ·Do you have a rough estimate of
`23· ·when Virus Bulletin stopped printing?
`24· · · · A.· ·I would say, sometime in 2005.
`25· · · · Q.· ·It says -- in your declaration it
`
`Page 15
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· ·says, "Virus Bulletin is headquartered in the
`·3· ·United Kingdom."· Do you see that?
`·4· · · · A.· ·Yes.· Uh-huh.
`·5· · · · Q.· ·Has it always been headquartered in
`·6· ·the United Kingdom?
`·7· · · · A.· ·Yes.
`·8· · · · Q.· ·Where were the --
`·9· · · · · · · · · · MR. HANNAH:· Strike that.
`10· · · · Q.· ·You testified that Virus Bulletin
`11· ·had a printed magazine before it went online
`12· ·in 2005 sometime --
`13· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.
`14· · · · Q.· ·-- correct?· Where was the magazine
`15· ·distributed?
`16· · · · A.· ·By post to subscribers.
`17· · · · Q.· ·Do you know -- sitting here today,
`18· ·do you know who those subscribers were?
`19· · · · A.· ·I would say the majority of them
`20· ·were computer virus experts.
`21· · · · Q.· ·How many people were sent Virus
`22· ·Bulletin magazine in the 2005 time frame?
`23· · · · A.· ·I -- I -- I don't know.
`24· · · · Q.· ·Do you know how many people were
`25· ·sent the magazine in the 1995 time frame?
`
`Page 16
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· · · · A.· ·No.
`·3· · · · Q.· ·Do you know who the people would
`·4· ·have been that the magazine would have been
`·5· ·sent to in the 1995 time frame?
`·6· · · · A.· ·Same, computer virus experts.
`·7· · · · Q.· ·Do you know specifically who?
`·8· · · · · · · · · · MR. EUTERMOSER:· Object to
`·9· · · · · · ·the form.
`10· · · · · · · · · · THE WITNESS:· Not off the
`11· · · · · · ·top of my head.· I am sure we have
`12· · · · · · ·it in our records.
`13· ·BY MR. HANNAH:
`14· · · · Q.· ·But sitting here today, you can't
`15· ·tell me?
`16· · · · A.· ·No.· Well, I could give you one or
`17· ·two names but I can't tell you all of them.
`18· · · · Q.· ·Who are the names?
`19· · · · A.· ·Ian Wally and Ricardi Berg.· Both
`20· ·people that I have spoken to that were
`21· ·subscribed and confirmed they were
`22· ·subscribers since the beginning.
`23· · · · Q.· ·When did you speak to them?
`24· · · · A.· ·In the last ten years.
`25· · · · Q.· ·Who are they?

`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· · · · A.· ·Computer virus experts.
`·3· · · · Q.· ·Where are they located?
`·4· · · · A.· ·Ricardi is in Amsterdam, I believe,
`·5· ·and Ian is somewhere in New York state, I
`·6· ·think.
`·7· · · · Q.· ·When is the last time that you
`·8· ·spoke to either these individuals?
`·9· · · · A.· ·Within the last week.· I work with
`10· ·them regularly, yes.
`11· · · · Q.· ·Did you talk with them before you
`12· ·prepared the declaration?
`13· · · · A.· ·Yes, I have spoken to them
`14· ·regularly over the last ten years.
`15· · · · Q.· ·Are they part of the Virus
`16· ·Bulletin?
`17· · · · A.· ·No.· Ian was the editor at one
`18· ·point.
`19· · · · Q.· ·He was the editor of Virus
`20· ·Bulletin?
`21· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.
`22· · · · Q.· ·How long was he the editor?
`23· · · · A.· ·I don't really know.
`24· · · · Q.· ·Has he always been located in New
`25· ·York?
`
`Page 18
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· · · · A.· ·No.
`·3· · · · Q.· ·Where was he before?
`·4· · · · A.· ·Well, certainly at one point he was
`·5· ·in London where Virus Bulletin was based.· He
`·6· ·has been in several places in between.
`·7· · · · Q.· ·So when he was the editor of Virus
`·8· ·Bulletin, he was located in the U.K.; is that
`·9· ·right?
`10· · · · A.· ·Uh-huh.
`11· · · · Q.· ·And do you know approximately when
`12· ·he was the editor?
`13· · · · A.· ·Mid-90s, I think.
`14· · · · Q.· ·In the 1995 -- or I would say, 1993
`15· ·to 1997; is that fair?
`16· · · · A.· ·Possibly, yes, yes.· We had about
`17· ·five or six editors prior to my joining.
`18· · · · Q.· ·This individual who you said is
`19· ·located in Amsterdam, what was his name
`20· ·again?
`21· · · · A.· ·Ricardi Berg.
`22· · · · Q.· ·Do you know where he works?
`23· · · · A.· ·He works for ESET.
`24· · · · Q.· ·Has he -- did he ever work for
`25· ·Virus Bulletin?
`
`Page 19
`
`·1· · · · · · · · · · ·John Hawes
`·2· · · · A.· ·No.
`·3· · · · Q.· ·Do you know how long he has worked
`·4· ·for ESET?
`·5· · · · A.· ·I would -- around five years, I
`·6· ·think.
`·7· · · · Q.· ·Has he always been located in
`·8· ·Amsterdam -- do you know?
`·9· · · · A.· ·I would -- I would -- I believe so.
`10· ·In the Netherlands.
`11· · · · Q.· ·In your declaration you also say,
`12· ·"Virus Bulletin has run an annual
`13· ·international conference since 1991."· Do you
`14· ·see that?
`15· · · · A.· ·Yes.
