` CROSS-EXAMINATION
`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. Good morning.
` A. Good morning.
` Q. Can you please state your full name and
`address for the record?
` A. Harlan Rusty Harris. I reside at 1315
`Harbour Town Court, College Station, Texas 77845.
` Q. Have you ever been deposed before?
` A. This is my first deposition.
` Q. Well, as you can see, we have a court
`reporter. And one thing that I just want to make
`you aware of early is she is writing down everything
`you say, so when I ask a question, please wait until
`I finish the question before you start to answer.
`If we talk at the same time, it makes her job very

` A. I do.
` Q. Is there any reason that would prevent
`you from testifying truthfully today?
` A. No.
` Q. It looks like you didn't bring anything,

`in the two IPR proceedings that we are discussing
`today.
` A. Sure.

`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. I'll represent to you, I obtained these
`from the patent file website. Let me hand them to
`you first. So I've handed you four declarations.
`Two of them are labelled IP Bridge Exhibit 2011, and
`they were filed in IPR proceedings IPR2016-01264 and
`IPR2016-01249. Do you have those?
` A. Yes, I do.
` Q. And I handed you two declarations from
`those same proceedings that are labelled IP Bridge
`Exhibit 2037. Do you have those?
` A. I do.
` Q. And you did not submit any other
`declarations in these proceedings, correct?
` A. I did not.
` Q. When is the last time that you read each
`of your declarations that I just handed to you?
` A. In its entirety? Or --
` Q. In its entirety.
` A. It was yesterday afternoon.
` Q. Since you asked me, "in its entirety,"

`did you read portions of it again this morning? Is
`that why you asked me that?
` A. I did not. I just wanted to clarify.
` Q. Can I refer to Exhibit 2011 from the
`IPR2016-01264 proceeding as your 1264 declaration?
` A. Yes.
` Q. You'll understand what I'm referring to?
` A. I will.
` Q. Can I refer to the other declaration
`that's labelled 2011 as your 1249 declaration?
` A. Yes.
` Q. And you'll understand that?
` A. I will understand it.
` Q. The two declarations that were labelled
`Exhibit 2037 that are exactly the same length, and
`to my knowledge, they are the same. Is that
`correct?
` A. I haven't examined these documents, but
`they look like copies of each other, so I would say
`on the face of it, yes.

`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. Can I refer to Exhibit 2037 as your
`motion to amend declaration?
` A. I will understand that.
` Q. So we can have shorter versions.
` A. Yes.
` Q. Are there any errors that you'd like to
`correct in any of these declarations I handed you?
` A. I'm glad you brought that up. I
`appreciate that. There is a typo on the 1264.
` Q. Are you able to locate it relatively
`quickly, or do you want to take a break to find it?
` A. I think I can probably find it real fast.
`On page 61, in paragraph 233, the underlined portion
`in that paragraph, there was a double negative
`which, of course, came about during the review
`process. And it states that I do not disagree with
`the Petitioner as to what those results would have
`been. Of course, it should not have been a double
`negative. It should have said that I disagree with
`the Petitioner.

`District Court litigation?
` A. No, I'm not involved in the litigation.
` MR. FINK: Objection, lack of foundation.
`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. Let's use your 1264 declaration as the
`primary declaration, so I'll refer to paragraphs in
`this. And if I want to direct you to the other
`ones, I'll let you know.
` A. Very well.
` Q. What I'd like you to do is turn to
`paragraphs 11 to 15 of your 1264 declaration. It's
`on page 3?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Again, for simplicity, there are two
`different page numbers. It says page 3, but then
`underneath, it says, 483?
` A. Yes.
` Q. Can I just refer to the page number
`that's marked above?
` A. That would be preferable for me, yes.
` Q. So you see the heading, Documents
`Reviewed?

` A. They do, yes.
` Q. In forming your opinions in your 1264
`declaration, did you rely on any materials that you
`failed to list in paragraphs 11 to 15?
` A. I did not.
` Q. I'm going to do the same thing with the
`1249, so if you could look at the same paragraphs 11
`to 15 in the 1249 declaration.
` A. I have that now.

` Q. In forming your opinions in your motion
`to amend declaration, did you rely on any materials,
`other than what you listed in paragraphs 12 through
`17?
` A. I did not.
` Q. Now, comparing the documents reviewed
`from the 1264 and 1249 declarations with the
`documents reviewed in your motion to amend
`declaration, there were some differences. It
`appears that you considered -- well, let me back up.
` The highest IP Bridge Exhibit Number in
`each of your 1264 and 1249 declarations is Exhibit
`2036. In your motion to amend declaration, you also
`list IP Bridge Exhibits 2039, 2040, 2041, and 2042.
`And you list the Patent Owner's motions to amend as
`well.
` And what I'm getting at is, as far as I
`can tell, the only new exhibits that you considered
`for the motion to amend declaration were the
`Exhibits 2039, 2040, 2041 and 2042, and IP Bridge's
`motion to amend, as compared to your other

` A. If you'll please give me a moment to
`compare it. That is accurate mand it does reflect
`what I reviewed.
` Q. To be clear, IP Bridge Exhibits 2039,
`2040, 2041 and 2042 in the Patent Owner's motion to
`amend are the only additional exhibits you
`considered for the motion to amend declaration, as
`compared to your other declarations?
` A. Without a further extensive examination
`to look, yes.
` Q. So what I'd like to do now is hand you
`several patents that I did not see listed as
`documents reviewed in any of your declarations. And
`I'm going to give them new exhibit numbers, and I'll
`just put a sticker on it.
` MR. FINK: I'm going to object to the
`extent it exceeds the scope of direct.

`the context of amending claims in an IPR, the burden
`is on the Patent Owner to show patentable
`distinction over the prior art of record and also
`prior art known to the Patent Owner. Do you see
`that?
` A. I do.
` Q. Did you confirm that you considered all
`prior art known to IP Bridge related to the '324
`patent?
` A. I apologize. Could you rephrase the
`question?
` Q. Did you confirm that you considered all
`the prior art that was in the possession of --
`strike that.
` I'm just referring to the language in
`paragraph 20. You said, the burden is on the Patent
`Owner to show patentable distinction over the prior
`art of record and also prior art known to the Patent
`Owner. Did you confirm that you analyzed all the
`prior art that was known to the Patent Owner, IP
`Bridge, in this case?
` A. I did.

` Q. How did you confirm that you considered
`all prior art known to IP Bridge relating to the
`'324 patent?
` A. I reviewed the known prior art that was
`supplied to me by the Patent Owner. And then
`confirmed that with them, that this was the prior
`art known to them.
` Q. Would your opinions in your motion to
`amend declaration be incomplete if there was prior
`art that was known to IP Bridge, but not shared with
`you?
` MR. FINK: Objection.
`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. I'm sorry, for the '324 patent?
` MR. FINK: Objection, requires a legal
`conclusion. Objection, requires speculation.
` THE WITNESS: I don't know if I could
`answer that, because I don't have the legal
`experience to say that -- a true or false answer to
`that question.

` Q. Would you agree, based on paragraph 20 of

`your declaration, that you needed to consider all
`the prior art known by IP Bridge?
` A. Known to the Patent Owner.
` Q. Which is IP Bridge?
` A. Yes.
` Q. So if IP Bridge knew of prior art that's
`related to the '324 patent, but didn't share that
`with you, would your opinions be incomplete?
` A. I don't know if I could draw a
`conclusion, based on whether or not they knew if it
`was a complete set of prior art, so I don't know if
`I could honestly answer the question. I don't have
`the experience in the legal area.
` Q. Hypothetically, if there was a claim
`chart that mapped every element of the '324 patent
`claims challenging these IPRs to prior art known to
`IP Bridge, but you never saw those claim charts?
` MR. FINK: Objection.
`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. Would you agree that your opinions would
`be incomplete, because you did not consider all
`prior art known to the Patent Owner?

` MR. FINK: Objection, it requires a legal
`conclusion. Objection, beyond the scope of direct.
` THE WITNESS: I'm not in the habit of
`doing hypotheticals in areas that I'm not an expert
`in.
`BY MR. KABAKOFF:
` Q. Are you aware of any invalidity claim
`charts that were known to IP Bridge relating to the
`'324 patent, based on prior art that you did not
`consider?
` A. I'm not aware of any IP claim charts.
` Q. Invalidity claim charts?
` A. I'm not aware of any charts.
` Q. As you expect, we're probably going to
`talk a lot about Zhang and Ding and Sun.
` A. Uh-huh.
` Q. I'm going to give you copies of these
`three references now.

` Q. So I'm handing you TSMC 1004, which is
`the Zhang patent. And I'll hand you TSMC Exhibit
`1005, which is the Ding patent. And I'm handing you
`Exhibit 1007, which is the Sun reference. And just
`for the record, I'm going to read the full patent
`number and citation, just to be clear what we are
`looking at.
` The Zhang patent is U.S. Patent
`5,893,752, which is Exhibit 1004. The Ding patent
`is U.S. Patent 6,887,353, which is TSMC Exhibit
`1005. And the Sun reference is an article entitled
`Properties of Reactively Sputter-Deposited Ta-N Thin
`Films, which is Exhibit 1007. Are these the same
`Zhang, Ding, and Sun references that you discuss in
`your declarations?
` A. They appear to be.
` Q. And I'll represent that these references
`are all listed in your documents reviewed section of
`your declarations.
` A. Yes.
