`I.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`Page 3 of 57
`
`1.
`
`From 1985 – 1990 I attended the Raahe Institute of Computer Technology, Raahe,
`
`Finland where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree, with a major in electrical engineering,
`
`focused on embedded environments, and a minor in programming in embedded environments.
`
`From 1991 - 1996 I attended the University of Oulu, Finland where I earned a Master of Science
`
`degree in Computer Science.
`
`2.
`
`From November 1994 to May 2006, I was employed by Nokia. From 1994-1998,
`
`I served as Product Program Manager at Nokia’s Oulu, Finland facility. In that capacity, I
`
`successfully managed up to four simultaneous product programs in M2M (machine-to-machine)
`
`terminal product creation and related server software product creation. I also managed up to 100
`
`people in three R&D sites. During this period of time, I was involved in and supervised the
`
`development of Nokia’s wireless payphone (Ex. 1) and payphone management system,
`
`including: writing “C” code for the project; designing electrical circuitry; writing technical
`
`specifications; and writing protocol specifications for the wireless transaction protocol (WTP).
`
`3.
`
`From 1994-1998, I served as an R&D Line Manager (Nokia Elektrobit Products
`
`(NEP), Oulu), Project Manager (NEP, Oulu, Finland) (including managing GSM type approval
`
`testing and certification processes, and was named as an inventor on several patent applications,
`
`two of which were approved in the US), Software Chief Designer (NEP, Oulu, Finland), and
`
`Hardware Designer (NEP, Oulu, Finland).
`
`4.
`
`From 1998-2002, I was involved in the development of Nokia’s M2M
`
`connectivity terminal, the Nokia 20, and the M2M gateway (Ex. 2). The connectivity terminal
`
`and gateway were designed to be sold together. In connection with this project, I led the design

`
`team, wrote technical and protocol specifications, and communicated customer requirements to
`
`Page 4 of 57
`
`the design team.
`
`5.
`
`Also while at Nokia, I served as Business Development Manager at Nokia’s Oulu,
`
`Finland facility. In that capacity, I conducted an extensive market study of the M2M market
`
`around the world, interviewing over 100 systems integrators and vendors working on this
`
`market. I also translated market requirements to product requirements and wrote product
`
`specifications to allow Nokia to enter the market.
`
`6.
`
`From 2003-2004, I served as General Manager for Nokia’s M2M business
`
`worldwide. In this capacity, I had global responsibility of the M2M business area in Nokia,
`
`including product development. I was nominated as one of the ten pioneers of the M2M industry
`
`by the M2M Magazine in July 2004. (Ex. 3)
`
`7.
`
`During this timeframe, I served as Program Manager in Nokia’s Dallas, Texas
`
`facility. In that role, I developed sales channels and collaboration networks with various
`
`companies working in the M2M business, including system integrators, hardware and software
`
`vendors, distributors, consultants, and install companies. I also involved the GSM carriers in the
`
`M2M business, managed the collaborator network and worked together with Nokia offices in
`
`Latin America to create the M2M market.
`
`8.
`
`I also successfully managed the transfer of Nokia’s M2M business area and
`
`products to Aplicom Ltd in 2004.
`
`9.
`
`From 2004-2005, I served as Senior Business Manager (Oulu) for Spain, France,
`
`Portugal and Benelux, for the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. In this capacity, I was responsible for
`
`developing retail sales channels, cooperating with Telecom companies and partnering with ISPs.

`
`10. After my time at Nokia, from May 2006 to January 2008, I served as Director of
`
`Business Development for Elektrobit, in Oulu, Finland and Washington, DC/Seattle, Washington,
`
`where I was responsible for overall project management. Elektrobit is a research and
`
`development company. While at Elektrobit, I oversaw a project for TerraStar Networks, in
`
`Reston, Virginia, for developing a handset capable of satellite communication as well as LTE
`
`communication.
`
`11.
`
`Since January 2008, I have been employed by Anite Plc., where I serve as Vice
`
`President of Engineering. I previously was Vice President for Sales Support and Product
`
`Management in Anite’s Oulu, Finland facility. I also served as Vice President of Technical
`
`Support and Sales Support in Anite’s Forest, Virginia facility. Anite manufactures test tools for
`
`wireless carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. I am responsible for, among things, global
`
`engineering activities, and process development. My curriculum vitae is attached as Exhibit 4.
`

`
`
`
`SUMMARY OF EXPECTED TESTIMONY
`
`15.
`
`If called to testify, I expect to testify regarding the following topics:
`
` The state of the art in the M2M field prior to the filing date of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,094,010 (the “‘010 Patent,” Ex. 10), including technology that existed prior to the May
`
`23, 2000 Finnish priority patent application for the ‘010 Patent;
`
` The level of ordinary skill in the art;
`
` The subject matter described in the ‘010 Patent; and
`
` My opinion that the patent claims discussed below are invalid for a number of
`
`reasons.
`
`16.
`
`In forming my opinions, I have considered the materials described below
`
`including the following:
`
` The ’010 Patent and its prosecution history.
`
` Claim Construction Order dated Nov. 19, 2013 and Order on Reconsideration
`

`
`17.
`
`I understand that Plaintiff M2M Solutions LLC (“Plaintiff”) has identified the
`
`following claims of the ‘010 Patent that it believes are infringed by Telit: claims 2, 5, 19, 26, 42,
`
`54, 57, 58, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 70, 71, 78, 79, 81, 93,2 94 and 97 (which depend from claims 1, 10,
`
`11, 18, 52, 80 and 96).
`
`18.
`
`I understand that Plaintiff has identified the following claims of the ‘010 Patent
`
`that it believes are infringed by Kowatec: claims 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 18, 19, 26, 42, 52, 54, 57, 59, 62,
`
`63, 64, 66, 70, 71, 78, 80, 81, 87, 88, 94, 99, 100, and 101.
`
`
`
`III. GENERAL LEGAL PRINCIPLES
`
`
`19.
`
`I have been informed of the general legal principles for determining whether the
`
`claims of a patent are invalid over the prior art.
`
`
`I was informed that M2M did not list claim 93 as an alleged infringing claim in its letter
`2
`of December 27, 2013: “To clear up any potential confusion, the asserted claims of the ’010
`Patent are Claims 2, 5, 19, 26, 42, 54, 57, 58, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 70, 71, 78, 79, 81, 94, 97.”

`
`20. Generally, I understand that to analyze the meaning of claim terms, the Court and
`
`jury must consider them from the point of view of a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time
`
`the alleged inventions were made.
`
`21.
`
`I understand the patent is presumed to be valid, and the party challenging validity
`
`is required to prove that each patent claims is invalid.
`
`22.
`
`I have been informed that a patent claim is invalid as anticipated if the claim
`
`“reads on” a single prior art reference; that is, each claim limitation is disclosed expressly, or
`
`inherently in a single prior art reference.
`
`23.
`
`I also understand that material not explicitly contained in the single prior art
`
`document may still be considered for purposes of anticipation if the specific material to be
`
`incorporated into the document was clearly identified.
`
`24.
`
`I have further been informed that in the event the claim does not “read on” a prior
`
`art reference precisely, the claim may nevertheless be invalid for obviousness. A patent claim is
`
`invalid for obviousness if the subject matter of the claim as a whole would have been obvious at
`
`the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the subject
`
`matter pertains.
`
`25.
`
`I understand that the following factors should be considered in determining
`
`whether or not a claim would have been obvious: the level of ordinary skill in the art; the scope
`
`and content of the prior art; the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue; and
`
`whatever secondary considerations may be present.
`
`26.
`
`I understand that to the extent that there are any differences between the prior art
`
`and the claimed subject matter, the claims would have been obvious where a person of ordinary
`
`
`
`Telit Wireless Solutions INC. and Telit Communications PLC Exh. 1239,
`Telit Wireless Solutions INC. and Telit Communications PLC v. M2M Solutions LLC
`IPR2016-01081, p. 8
`
`

`
`Expert Report of Kimmo Savolainen
`May 5, 2014
`
`skill in the art would have modified or combined the prior art references to arrive at the claimed
`
`Page 9 of 57
`
`subject matter. I understand that routine design choices and other market forces can prompt
`
`modifications of technology.
`
`27.
`
`To the extent Plaintiff argues that certain claims were not anticipated by the prior
`
`art cited above, I may explain that any perceived differences were trivial and would have been
`
`obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`28.
`
`To the extent that Plaintiff argues the existence of secondary considerations of
`
`non-obviousness, I have considered each of the claims identified above as a whole, and at this
`
`time, I am unaware of any long-felt but unsolved needs, failure of others, unexpected results, or
`
`commercial success relating to the asserted claims. The prior art references discussed below,
`
`including the Wireless Payphone and other systems I built with my colleagues at Nokia, had
`
`functionality identical to most of the asserted claims, and any differences were trivial
`
`modifications, such as, the use of GPS. I have not seen any evidence that others have tried and
`
`failed to develop the claimed subject matter. Based on the references discussed below and
`
`general knowledge in the field, I also see no evidence of unexpected results of any of the claimed
`
`subject matter. If the Plaintiff points to any secondary considerations to support the claims, I
`
`may provide a response.
`
`29.
`
`I understand that the Court in this case has construed certain claim terms for the
`
`‘010 Patent, as follows:

`
`
`TECHNICAL INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
`
`32.
`
`As noted above, in the mid-1990s, Nokia developed a wireless payphone and
`
`management system (Ex. 1). In 1994, I was the head of the project and a contributing member.
`
`My tasks included programming the firmware for the wireless payphone in the “C” programming
`
`language and drafting technical and protocol specifications. The wireless payphone was
`
`described in my thesis (Ex. 12),3 although some of its details were omitted for product secrecy
`
`reasons (Ex. 12, 7742).4 I submitted my thesis to the University of Oulu in 1996. My thesis was
`
`available at the University library, and I understand it was posted in the University database (e.g.,
`
`see Ex. 44, Declaration stating that the thesis was cataloged and shelved at the University library
`
`in 1996).
`
`33.
`
`The wireless payphone was used for telephone communication in areas where
`
`wired connections were not possible, such as, trains, boats, and in remote or developing countries
`
`without wired infrastructure (Ex. 12, 7739-7740).
`
`34.
`
`The wireless payphone was a cellular phone programmable by a control system
`
`over a wireless network as shown in the figure below (Ex. 12, 7742):

`
`originated from the previously authorized WPM number. The wireless payphone was restricted
`
`Page 16 of 57
`
`to only receive incoming messages from the WPM number. The details about incoming call
`
`restriction and the authentication during programming the WPM number were not published in
`
`this thesis for product secrecy reasons (Ex. 12, 7742). However, a person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art at the time when the thesis was written would have included these features as a matter of
`
`routine engineering if the person wanted to limit access to the device, for example, to protect
`
`wireless financial transactions.
`
`38.
`
`The first pilot build of the Nokia wireless payphone for GSM/DCS 1800 was in
`
`the second quarter of 1995 (Ex. 12, 7740). Nokia’s wireless payphones offered telephony
`
`services in areas without existing wired telephone infrastructure (Ex. 12, 7739).
`
`39.
`
`In March 1997, Nokia announced that its wireless payphones were sold in
`
`Thailand and South Africa (Ex. 1).
`
`40.
`
`In June 1997, Nokia and SingTel introduced the first integrated wireless
`
`payphones to Singapore at Asia TELECOM 97 (Ex. 13, TELIT0068228). Nokia’s phones
`
`communicated over the GSM network to provide mobile communication services to users in
`
`taxis, trains, limousines and ships (Ex. 13).
`
`41.
`
`In 1997, Nokia developed the next generation of its wireless payphone system,
`
`incorporating a wireless modem with IP traffic that operated using GPRS. I was the Manager of
`
`that payphone project, and a contributing member involved with writing code for the payphone.
`
`IP address of management system and modem phone number were used as the authentication
`
`methods for communication. Although prototype phones were built, the system was never sold.

`
`In 2001, Nokia announced the Nokia 20 M2M Connectivity terminal (Ex. 2). The
`
`Nokia 20 provided M2M communication for remote management for applications, such as,
`
`vending, security, automatic meter reading, elevator control, telematics, etc. (Ex. 2). The Nokia
`
`20 communicated wirelessly by sending/receiving SMS messages over EGSM 900/1800
`
`networks (Ex. 2), and used PIN authentication as well as GSM security (Ex. 2).
`
`43.
`
`Between 1999-2002, I was involved with Kone, a Finnish elevator manufacturer.
`
`Kone used the Nokia 20 to build a wirelessly controlled elevator system for remote monitoring to
`
`report alarms, request maintenance, remotely control machines, and for emergency telephone
`
`communication for trapped passengers (e.g., see Ex. 14).

`
`
`SKILL IN THE ART
`
`44.
`
`I may testify about what a person of ordinary skill in the art pertinent to the ‘010
`
`Patent would have known prior to the May 23, 2000 priority date.
`
`45.
`
`In determining the qualifications of a person of ordinary skill, I first considered
`
`the general subject matter of the ‘010 Patent, which relates to a programmable communicator
`
`which can communicate between a monitored device and a monitoring device, an application
`
`sometimes called “telemetry.”
`
`46.
`
`Based on my experience, working with my colleagues at Nokia, in my opinion, a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art before the priority date would have at least a Bachelor’s degree
`
`in computer science, or electrical engineering, with a good understanding of principles of
`
`wireless telecommunications, and would have had at least four years of experience in designing

`
`VI. U.S. PATENT NO. 8,094,010
`
`47.
`
`The ‘010 Patent (Ex. 10) stated it built on prior art International Patent
`
`Application No. PCT/GB98/02715 (Ex. 10, M2M0001521 at 1:33-37), the “Hotlink patent
`
`application.” As the claim chart below shows, the Hotlink patent application (Ex. 15) described
`
`almost all of the subject matter of the ‘010 Patent:
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,094,010 Claims
`1. A programmable communicator
`device comprising:
`
`
`a wireless communications circuit for
`communicating through an antenna
`over a communications network;
`an identity module for storing a unique
`identifier that is unique to the
`programmable communicator device;
`
`a programmable interface for
`establishing a communication link with
`at least one monitored technical device;
`
`
`
`Hotlink patent application
`“[A] novel portable hot link communicating
`apparatus which comprises a preprogrammed
`identity module comprising the number of the
`mobile or fixed telephone to which the hot link
`communicating device is linked.” (Ex. 15, 0403 ll.
`30-35).
`“The hot link communicator preferably comprises a
`basic mobile telephone circuit … and antenna” (Ex.
`15, 0405 ll. 13-15; see also Ex. 15 at 420, Fig. 3).
`“[An] identity module within the GSM standard of
`mobile telephone technology, the subscriber identity
`module, or SIM card is described.” (Ex. 15, 0407 ll.
`33-35).
`
`The ‘010 Patent admitted that a SIM card stored a
`PUK code identified as a “unique code” or “unique
`identifier.” (Ex. 10, M2M0001525, 9:29-31).
`
`Further, the Hotlink was a GSM device (Ex. 15,
`0407, ll. 26-31) and therefore would have stored an
`IMEI number (e.g., see Ex. 20, 6454).
`The Hotlink was meant to be worn by a child using a
`wrist strap (Ex. 15, 0408 ll. 15-17).
`
`At the time, it was known to monitor a child’s wrist
`strap (e.g., see Ex. 40, U.S. Patent No. 6,388,612,
`
`Telit Wireless Solutions INC. and Telit Communications PLC Exh. 1239,
`Telit Wireless Solutions INC. and Telit Communications PLC v. M2M Solutions LLC

`
`a processing module for authenticating
`an at least one transmission sent from a
`programming transmitter and received
`by the programmable communicator
`device, the at least one transmission
`including a coded number and at least
`one telephone number or Internet
`Protocol (IP) address corresponding to
`an at least one monitoring device,
`wherein the processing module
`authenticates the at least one
`transmission by determining if the at
`least one transmission contains the
`coded number, the processing module
`authenticating the at least one
`transmission if the transmission
`includes the coded number;

`showing a child’s wristband (18) monitored by the
`“child watch” monitoring station (12) in Fig. 1.
`Wristband (18) would “generate a distress signal …
`upon breaking of the circuit of the tracking unit,”
`Ex. 40, TELIT0068230, Abstract). It would have
`been obvious to monitor if the Hotlink’s wrist strap
`broke to know if the Hotlink was still attached to the
`child. E. Wesby acknowledged that a wrist strap
`was a monitored technical device (EW Tr. Jan. 21,
`2014 at 278:10-23; Ex. 10, M2M0001525, 10:23-
