`Adjust Schedule (Paper No. 26), Patent Owner Blitzsafe Texas, LLC (“Patent

`
`Thomas G. Matheson, Ph.D.
`
`
`II. OBSERVATIONS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION OF THOMAS G.
`MATHESON, PH.D.
`
`Exhibit 2013 is a copy of the cross-examination transcript of Dr. Thomas G.
`
`Matheson, Ph.D. Exhibits 1002, 1003, 1009, 1016, 1023, and 1027 were
`
`referenced during the cross examination of Dr. Matheson on his Declaration
`
`(Exhibit 1027) filed in support of Petitioner’s Reply.
`
`A. Observations Relevant to The Failure of Clayton to Disclose The
`“Audio Generated By The Portable Device” Limitation
`Observation #A.1.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 18, line 13, through page 20, line 20, and on page
`
`24, lines 5 through 15, Dr. Matheson referred to Exhibit 1002 and testified that
`
`“content,” according to Clayton, can include MP3 files, video files, and textual
`
`play lists, each of which can be either encoded or unencoded. He further testified
`
`that the situation where a cellular telephone is sending an encoded MP3 file and an
`
`unencoded textual playlist is consistent with the disclosure of “encoded and
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00418
`
`PATENT NO. 8,155,342
`
`
`
`
`unencoded” in paragraph 55 of Clayton. This testimony is relevant to Paper No.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`24, Section II.a, Pages 3-4, and Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 3-5, because it contradicts and
`
`undermines the credibility of his opinions regarding whether “unencoded is
`
`synonymous with decoded” (Ex. 1027 at ¶5) and whether “a person having
`
`ordinary skill in the art would understand that the portable device must necessarily
`
`decode the MP3 file.” (Paper No. 24 at 4.)
`
`Observation #A.2.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 38, line 6, through page 39, line 2; page 41, lines
`
`5-10; and page 43, line 19, through page 44, line 4, Dr. Matheson referred to
`
`Exhibit 1002 and first testified that his understanding of the Clayton reference was
`
`that “target device” of Clayton is “something that can transmit audio” but then
`
`agreed that he was mistaken and that the car audio system is a “target device” and
`
`that it receives audio. This testimony is relevant to Paper No. 24, Section II.a,
`
`Pages 3-4, and Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 3-5, because it contradicts and undermines the
`
`credibility of his opinions regarding the bases for his interpretation of the Clayton
`
`reference. (Paper No. 24 at 4.)
`
`Observation #A.3.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 53, lines 4 through 9, Dr. Matheson admitted that
`
`the cellular telephone of Clayton does not necessarily include an MP3 player. This
`
`testimony is relevant to Paper No. 24, Section II.a, Pages 3-4, and Exhibit 1027 at
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00418
`
`PATENT NO. 8,155,342
`
`
`
`
`¶¶ 3-5, because it contradicts and undermines the credibility of his opinions
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`regarding whether “unencoded is synonymous with decoded” (Ex. 1027 at ¶5) and
`
`whether “a person having ordinary skill in the art would understand that the
`
`portable device must necessarily decode the MP3 file.” (Paper No. 24 at 4).
`
`Observation #A.4.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 66, lines 17 through 21, Dr. Matheson referred to
`
`Exhibit 1023, the A2DP 1.0 specification, and admitted that if the portable device
`
`is aware that an MP3 codec is present in the sink device (“SNK”), then an MP3 file
`
`may be transmitted by the portable device without transcoding the MP3 file into
`
`SBC. This testimony is relevant to Paper No. 24, Section II.a, Pages 3-4, and
`
`Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 3-5, because it contradicts and undermines the credibility of his
`
`support for the statement that “a person having ordinary skill in the art would
`
`understand that the portable device must necessarily decode the MP3 file.” (Paper
`
`No. 24 at 4).
`
`Observation #A.5.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 68, line 6, through page 70, line 7, and on page 72,
`
`lines 5 through 25, Dr. Matheson referred to Exhibit 1003, the “Clayton
`
`Provisional,” and admitted that well known codec decoders such as “MP3” would
`
`be used in Bluetooth transmissions. Dr. Matheson further admitted that, “in the
`
`context of A2DP, if you had an MP3 file and the ability to transfer that MP3 file
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00418
`
`PATENT NO. 8,155,342
`
`
`
`
`without transcoding it, you would probably do that.” This testimony is relevant to
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Paper No. 24, Section II.a, Pages 3-4, and Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 3-5, because it
`
`contradicts and undermines the credibility of his support for the statement that “a
`
`person having ordinary skill in the art would understand that the portable device
`
`must necessarily decode the MP3 file.” (Paper No. 24 at 4).
`
`Observation #A.6.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 68, line 6, through page 70, line 7, and on page 72,
`
`lines 5 through 25, Dr. Matheson referred to Exhibit 1003, the “Clayton
`
`Provisional,” and admitted that well known codec decoders such as “MP3” would
`
`be used in Bluetooth transmissions. Dr. Matheson further admitted that, “in the
`
`context of A2DP, if you had an MP3 file and the ability to transfer that MP3 file
`
`without transcoding it, you would probably do that.” This testimony is relevant to
`
`Paper No. 24, Section II.a, Pages 3-4, and Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 3-6, because it
`
`contradicts and undermines the credibility of his support for the statement that “a
`
`person having ordinary skill in the art would understand that the portable device
`
`must necessarily decode the MP3 file.” (Paper No. 24 at 4).
`
`B. Observations Relevant to the ’667 Application’s Support of The
`Claims of the ’342 Patent
`Observation #B.1.
`
`In Exhibit 2013 , on page 95, line 25, through page 97, line 3, Dr. Matheson
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00418
`
`PATENT NO. 8,155,342
`
`
`
`
`referred to Exhibit 1009, the ’667 Application, and admitted that the application
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`supports generating audio on the portable device. This testimony is relevant to
`
`Paper No. 24, Section III, Pages 8-16, and Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 10-12, because it
`
`contradicts and undermines the credibility of his statement that the ’667
`
`Application does not support the claimed “audio generated by the portable device”
`
`limitation.
`
`C. Observations Relevant To The Lack Of Support Of The Clayton
`Provisional Application
`Observation #C.1.
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on page 113, line 8, through page 116, line 9, when
`
`referring to Exhibits 1027 and 1016, Dr. Matheson admitted that certain portions
`
`of the Clayton Provisional disclose an MP3 codec for purposes of wireless
`
`transmission. This testimony is relevant to Paper No. 24, Sections II and III
`
`Pages 2-16, and Exhibit 1027 at ¶¶ 3-7 and 10-12, because it contradicts and
`
`undermines the credibility of his statement that either Clayton or its provisional
`
`supports the “audio generated by the portable device” limitation.
