`
`12· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Could you please state your name

`13· ·for the record.
`
`14· · · · · · ·A.· ·My name is David Alexander Forsyth.
`

`

`
`19· · · · · · ·A.· ·That means that I need to tell the

`20· ·truth fully and honorably.
`
`21· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Have you had your deposition taken
`
`22· ·before?
`
`23· · · · · · ·A.· ·I have been deposed before, yes.

`
`·1· ·would have to refer to my CV to be correct -- to
`
`·2· ·be certain.
`
`·3· · · · · · ·Q.· ·And in those instances, do you
`
`·4· ·recall whether you were -- were those IPR
`
`·5· ·proceedings, or were those district court
`
`·6· ·proceedings?
`
`·7· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe one proceeding was an ITC
`
`·8· ·proceeding.· I believe one was a district court
`
`·9· ·and one was an IPR, but again I would have to
`
`10· ·check my CV to be certain.· It was some time ago.
`
`11· · · · · · ·Q.· ·I will hand you a copy of
`
`12· ·Exhibit 2004.
`
`13· · · · · · ·(Exhibit No. 2004, having been
`
`14· · · · · · ·marked for identification, is

`15· · · · · · ·attached hereto.)
`
`16· · · · · · · · · THE WITNESS:· Excellent.
`
`17· ·BY MR. YANNUZZI:
`
`18· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Go ahead and take a moment to
`
`19· ·review that and see if that helps to clarify your
`
`20· ·recollection as to the instances in which you have
`
`21· ·given testimony.
`
`22· · · · · · ·A.· ·So I know I have given testimony
`
`23· ·because under consulting activities it describes
`
`24· ·testimony for Foley & Lardner which was an ITC,
`
`25· ·and I was deposed in that.· And I assume that was

`
`·1· ·an ITC deposition.· Maybe -- don't keep track of
`
`·2· ·the precise details of the legal structure of the
`
`·3· ·cases.· The Sheridan and Ross matter did not
`
`·4· ·involve deposition.· The Fish & Richardson work,
`
`·5· ·there were several cases going on at the same
`
`·6· ·time, and I cannot recollect firmly whether both
`
`·7· ·depositions were district court dispositions or
`
`·8· ·one was IPR and one was district court, but I
`
`·9· ·believe one was IPR and one was district court.
`
`10· · · · · · ·Q.· ·And in those Fish & Richardson
`
`11· ·depositions, were you representing the patent
`
`12· ·owner?
`
`13· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe I was -- no -- I was
`
`14· ·representing -- I was engaged by the side that was
`
`15· ·being sued for infringement, and they were also
`
`16· ·alleging invalidity of the patents involved.
`
`17· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Okay.· And referring to No. 13
`
`18· ·under consulting activities in Exhibit 2004, it
`
`19· ·says consultant, Irell & Manella.
`
`20· · · · · · · · · That's this particular case that
`
`21· ·you are giving testimony in today; is that
`
`22· ·correct?
`
`23· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe that's this particular
`
`24· ·case, although I think there are several IPRs
`
`25· ·associated with this case.

`18· ·the -- let's put that aside for a moment.
`
`19· · · · · · · · · Is there any reason today why you
`
`20· ·are not able to give complete and accurate
`
`21· ·testimony?
`
`22· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe the answer is no.

`

`17· · · · · · ·A.· ·I read a series of documents. I
`
`18· ·read -- I re-read the Bond patent.· I re-read my
`
`19· ·declaration in support.· I looked briefly at a
`
`20· ·variety of other documents, mostly documents with
`
`21· ·insights in that report -- I'm sorry -- detailed
`

`
`·2· · · · · · ·A.· ·No.· I understand that's meant to

`·4· · · · · · ·Q.· ·And when you say "the attorney," do
`
`·5· ·you mean --
`

`
`·7· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Perfect.· And in this IPR, the
`
`·8· ·subject of this deposition today, you are giving
`
`·9· ·testimony on behalf of Prime; is that correct?
`
`10· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe that's correct.· I was
`
`11· ·engaged by the law firm and have not paid very
`
`12· ·much attention as to who is disputing with whom.
`
`13· · · · · · ·Q.· ·So do you know who owns the patent
`
`14· ·that is the subject of this IPR proceeding?
`
`15· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe in one legal document I
`
`16· ·reviewed there was some dispute on this matter,
`
`17· ·but I didn't pay it very much attention.· So I
`
`18· ·think the short answer is no.· I don't really
`
`19· ·know.
`
`20· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Have you heard of a company called
`
`21· ·Prime Focus VFX Services?
`
`22· · · · · · ·A.· ·The name rings a bell.· I might
`
`23· ·have seen the name in a document but not to pay
`
`24· ·serious attention to it.

`·1· · · · · · · · · MR. GLUCOFT:· Then your predecessor
`
`·2· ·has already set precedent for what they considered
`
`·3· ·privileged in Mr. Vazquez's deposition.· If you
`
`·4· ·are asserting that that is not proper to assert
`
`·5· ·privilege over, then certainly we have issues with
`
`·6· ·the way that Mr. Vazquez's deposition was handled
`
`·7· ·as well.· We had effectively agreed to treat that
`
`·8· ·as privilege.
`
`·9· · · · · · · · · MR. YANNUZZI:· I wasn't part of it,
`
`10· ·and I am not familiar with those.
`
`11· · · · · · · · · MR. GLUCOFT:· That may be the case,

`
`·5· · · · · · ·A.· ·It's an extremely broad field that
`
`·6· ·attempts to understand methods and techniques for
`
`·7· ·interpreting pictures and video and occasionally
`
`·8· ·depth images or images from thermal cameras or
`
`·9· ·unconventional cameras.
`
`10· · · · · · · · · The things you might do with those
`
`11· ·images include recognize objects in the images,
`
`12· ·find objects in the images, label images as to
`
`13· ·scene or class, build geometric reconstructions of
`
`14· ·things that you see in the images of the video,
`
`15· ·change or modify the images, add color to the
`
`16· ·images, remove color from the images, reason about

`
`14· · · · · · ·A.· ·Yes, I was, although there is a

`15· ·very creative step in the Bond patent that I had
`
`16· ·not seen before.
`
`17· · · · · · ·Q.· ·And what step is that?

`·1· · · · · · · · · Then we have a list of 130

`·8· · · · · · ·A.· ·I believe I certainly meet the

`
`12· · · · · · ·Q.· ·Have you ever designed a system
`
`13· ·that transforms a two-dimensional image into 3D

`
`15· · · · · · ·A.· ·Have I ever designed a system? I
`
`16· ·think that depends a little bit on what you mean
`
`17· ·by "system."· If you mean by "system" something
`
`18· ·that is deployed and used by people in the
`
`19· ·industry, the answer is no.· If you mean by
`
`20· ·"system" a demonstration program that can do so on
`
`21· ·a variety of images that is then published in a
`
`22· ·paper, the answer is yes.· I have even written
`
`23· ·some of the code for such systems.
`
`24· · · · · · ·Q.· ·You mentioned a demonstration
`
`25· ·system.· Was there more than one demonstration
