` EXAMINATION
`
` MR. MANGRUM: So we are now
`
` on the record. This is Brett
`
` Mangrum representing the Patent
`
` Owner, the Uniloc entities; and
`
` probably should do announcements
`
` around the table.
`
` MR. EISENBERG: We have Jason
`
` Eisenberg representing Apple,
`
` Inc.; and with me are Trent
`
` Merrell, Amirali Sharifi, and
`
` Steve Pappas from Sterne Kessler.

`
` MR. MANGRUM: Well, I
`
` appreciate everyone braving the
`
` weather. I understand that -- is
`
` it an ice storm that's out there
`
` right now?
`
` MR. EISENBERG: Yes, but
`
` luckily it warmed up quickly.
`
` Last night was like a slick of ice
`
` everywhere, though.
`
`BY MR. MANGRUM:
`
` Q. Dr. Forys -- go ahead.
`
` A. No, go ahead.
`
` Q. I appreciate you making
`
`yourself available to take the time.
`
`You understand you're here to discuss,
`
`among other things, the declaration you
`
`submitted in conjunction with the
`
`Petitioner's Reply?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And I'm getting a little bit
`
`of delay. That's fine. We'll just

`

`

`
` A. Yes; my name is Leonard John
`
`Forys, F-O-R-Y-S. I reside at 823
`
`Holmdel Road, H-O-L-M-D-E-L, in the
`
`town called Holmdel, same spelling, New
`
`Jersey.
`
` Q. Thank you.
`
` MR. MANGRUM: And Jason, for
`
` logistics on this deposition, we
`
` might need to go off record and
`
` print out a few documents. I'm
`
` curious if you can facilitate that
`
` on your end.
`
` MR. EISENBERG: Absolutely.
`
` And we have three clean notebooks
`
` of the records here next to him.

`

`

`
` to this deposition, we talked
`
` about that, and my guess is you
`
` probably already have the
`
` documents that I need. I'm not --
`
` I won't be pulling up any exhibits
`
` that should come as a surprise.
`
` To the extent you have it already
`
` there, great. To the extent we
`
` need to go off record and print
`
` them out, I appreciate your
`
` willingness to facilitate.

`

`

`
` Q. Okay. Great. And for
`
`purposes of this deposition, as before,
`
`I'm going to refer to this document as
`
`"the '890 patent."
`
` A. Fine.
`
` Q. I understand that it's -- the
`
`version you're using is probably the
`
`Bates-marked one that has "Exhibit
`
`1001," I believe, on the bottom
`

`

`

`
`several pages where the claims are
`
`listed. To be more specific, let's
`
`first go to Column 25.
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. Do you see where there's a
`
`claim numbered Claim 14?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And do you see there are --
`
`there's a preamble and then two
`
`indented paragraphs.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Okay. So in that paragraph,
`
`it looks like the first one appears
`
`from lines 24 to 29; and the second one
`
`looks like it appears from line 30 to
`
`line 39.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Okay. So I want to ask you
`
`about two terms appearing in those two

`
`paragraphs. The first looks like it
`
`appears on line 24 of Column 25: "A
`
`client connected to a local network."
`
`And the second one appears on line 30:
`
`"A server connected to the external
`
`network."
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Okay. And it looks like the
`
`external network first appears -- I
`
`have to look back. I'm going to ask
`
`you some questions just about those two
`
`terms, "local network" and "external
`
`network."
`
` Is it your understanding that
`
`those terms also appear in the other
`
`claims of the '890 patent?
`
` A. I believe so. I have to look
`
`at it, but probably.
`
` Yes, I see Claim 2 has a
`
`local network in it. So certainly
`
`"local" appears.

`
` I see Claim 7 has "external

`
`brief glance, it appears that those
`
`terms appear elsewhere.
`
` Q. Yes, okay. I want to ask you
`
`just some questions about your
`
`understanding of "local network" and
`
`"external network."
`
` Do you recall offering
`
`opinions with regard to those terms?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Okay. Let me ask you --
`
`first of all, just back up a step.
`
` Do you know what a local area
`
`network, or LAN, is?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And what is it?
`
` A. I discussed this in both my
`
`declarations, if you want me to read
`
`that or just do it off the cuff?
`
` Q. However you'd like to answer.
`
`I don't want to tell you how to answer.

`I'm just curious, if you have a general
`
`understanding of what a LAN is, you can
`
`state that for the record.
`
` A. So you just want me to do it
`
`from my general understanding then, not
`
`what I wrote?
`
` Q. That's -- that would be fine.
`
` A. Generally speaking, if I
`
`recall from what I wrote, is that a --
`
`generally speaking, a LAN serves a
`
`geographically small area -- a
`
`building, perhaps a college campus --
`
`and uses certain kinds of protocols
`
`that are useful in small geographical
`
`areas, such as things like Ethernet,
`
`for example; and uses routers and
`
`bridges and different pieces of
`
`technology to make them either wireless
`
`or wired, as the case may be.
`
` Q. Do you understand -- is it
`
`your understanding a local -- I'm going
`
`to call it a LAN, just for the sake of

`
`the record. But for the court
`
`reporter, "LAN" is an acronym for local
`
`area network.
`
` Is it your understanding that
`
`a LAN is an example of a local network
`
`within the context of the claims?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. I want you to -- I want to
`
`loop back for a second to a general
`
`description of this case, a college
`
`campus environment, where you would
`
`have like an Internet-based local area
`
`network, or LAN, which is addressed by
`
`local addresses and it's deliberately
`
`kept separate from the Internet, like a
`
`firewall.
`
` Would you classify that LAN
`
`as a local network within the context
`
`of the claims?
`
` MR. EISENBERG: Objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: It could be. I
`
` don't think it's defined

`
`BY MR. MANGRUM:
`
` Q. And why could it be?
`
` A. Because geographically small
`
`area, and a college campus, and you
`
`talk about intranet, I believe. Those
`
`words are generally associated with a
`
`LAN.
`
` Q. And my question was: Would
`
`you classify that LAN as a local
`
`network within the context of the
`
`claims?
`
` MR. EISENBERG: Objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: It could be,
`
` yes.
`
`BY MR. MANGRUM:
`
` Q. And just so I understand your
`
`answer, is your answer "it could be"
`
`because -- because it's a LAN, or it
`
`could be for other reasons?
`
` A. It could be because it's --

`
`it could be -- I don't have to use a
`
`LAN. You can use other things as well.
`
`But if you're using a local area
`
`network with a certain topologies and
`
`certain connections and certain
`
`protocols that's usually associated
`
`with a LAN, that would be a local
`
`network.
`
` Q. Could you think of an example
`
`where it would be not a local network,
`
`what I just described?
`
` A. You could -- again, you have
`
`a college campus, if it's quite large,
`
`you could have it as being a WAN, a
`
`wide area network, using different
`
`protocols. Just -- stupid example, if
`
`you want -- a simple example; not
`
`stupid.
`
` You can make telephone
`
`connections, and that would not be a
`
`LAN; that would be a regular telephone
`
`connection between computers or

`
`something like that. That's -- in
`
`fact, that certainly existed in the
`
`early days. That's the way you would
`
`connect computers, using telephone
`
`lines.
`
` So -- and I wouldn't consider
`
`that to be a LAN in that case,
`
`necessarily, because you might go off
`
`to a switch -- excuse me.
`
` Q. Go ahead. You might go off
`
`to a switch? Sorry.
`
` A. You may go off to a switch 20
`
`miles away with your telephone line and
`
`then come back. And that's the way --
`
`that is a way it could be done. And I
`
`think that was common -- that was
`
`common in the early days, yeah.
`

`

`
`a local network within the context of
`
`the claims?

`
`if the network -- again, I don't know
`
`if the patent defines what it is. I
`
`have to take a look at that.
`
` Q. We'll get to that.
`
` A. It's certainly not a LAN. It
`
`could be a local network. It's not
`
`defined.
`
` Q. Earlier you mentioned in your
`
`answer or one of your prior answers the
`
`term "WAN," was that a wide area
`
`network?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And if -- going back to our
`
`college campus example, if the college
`
`campus had implemented its Internet via
`
`a WAN, a wide area network, would you
`
`consider that to be a local network
`
`within the context of the claims?
`
` A. I don't know. Again, I don't
`
`think the '890 patent defines it.
`
`Possibly, but I think the examples they
`
`give were WAN examples.

`

`

`

`
`description and the figure itself, that
`
`might be helpful for us.
`
` A. Sure.
`
` Q. So it is your understanding
`
`that Figure 2 of the '890 patent fits a
`
`local network within the context of the
`
`claims?
`
` A. They have something in Figure
`
`2 that's labeled 204 that's called a
`
`"local IP network."
`
` Q. And so is it your
`
`understanding that local IP network 204
`
`is a local network within the context
`
`of the claims?
`
` A. It appears to be. It's
`
`labeled that way.
`
` Q. And so there's a description
`
`of local IP network 204 that appears on
`
`those specific lines I cited to you.

`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. And it says, "The network 204
`
`may be a local area network," and then
`
`it offers the acronym LAN -- "a wide
`
`area network" -- again acronym WAN --
`
`"or the like, which supports both wired
`
`and wireless devices."
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Okay. Is it your
`
`understanding that that description, at
`
`a minimum, states that what's shown as
`
`element 204 could be a LAN, a WAN or
`
`the like?
`
` A. That's what it says. And why
`
`they label it as "local," I don't
`
`understand that part, but that's what
`
`they did.
`
` Q. Is it your understanding that
`
`a WAN could also be considered a local
`
`area network -- I'm sorry -- a WAN

`
`could be considered a local network

`
` A. Certainly the way that this
`
`description of the specification
`
`relates to it -- I would not have
`
`called it that, but they are calling it
`
`that, yes.
`
` Q. Okay. How does a LAN differ
`
`from a WAN, just in the general sense?
`
` MR. EISENBERG: Objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: Typically,
`
` it's -- it's -- and I said before,
`
` typically it's geographic
`
` considerations; and also different
`
` kinds of protocols are typically
`
` used.
`
`BY MR. MANGRUM:
`
` Q. Are WANs sometimes designated
`
`as a collection of LAN?
`
` A. They could be but need not
`
`be. For example, a telephone network
`
`is a WAN, but my phone is not a local

`
` Q. And you mentioned protocols,
`
`there may be a difference in protocols.
`
`Can you add some color to that answer,
`
`explaining what different protocols
`
`might be used for a LAN versus a WAN?
`
` MR. EISENBERG: Objection.
`
` THE WITNESS: Sure. A LAN,
`
` for example, you could use
`
` Ethernet. You can use 802.11b,
`
` the wireless protocols, to access
`
` a wireless router.
`
` Whereas a WAN could be
`
` regular telephony protocols.
`
` Could be IP network protocols. It
`
` could be a variety of things. But
`
` it's usually things -- a LAN is
`
` usually limited by geographical
`
` distance. Ethernet has a
`
` geographical limitation as to how
`
` far stations can be from each

`
` Q. Do you know offhand what that
`
`is?
`
` A. I think it's kilometers, one
`
`or two kilometers. It's not very far.
`
`There's extenders and there's all these
`
`additional things you could put on it
`
`to extend, but generally, it's in the
`
`kilometer range.
`
` Q. And the protocol, the
`
`Ethernet protocol and the 802 -- I'm
`
`going to misquote you; I wasn't able to
`
`write down quickly enough what you
`
`said.
`
` You mentioned an Ethernet
`
`protocol. Let's start there. Can that
`
`be implemented in a WAN-type network as
`
`well?
`
` A. It could be part of a WAN
`
`network, but you would think -- but,

`
`distances of tens of miles and hundreds
`
`of miles, which a WAN could accomplish,
`
`that would be inappropriate, because
`
`the protocol just doesn't allow it, for
`
`technical reasons. So you could use it
`
`for a part but not the entire path.
`
` Q. And the 802 same question:
`
`That 802 protocol you mentioned.
`
` A. Yes. Again, that's the same
`
`kind of thing. It's usually limited by
`
`distance because of the fact that
`
`you're talking about high-frequency
`
`radio waves and the propagation,
`
`attenuation -- the signal dies off
`
`rather quickly with distance, let me
`
`put it that way.
`
` So, again, you're talking
`
`sometimes only hundreds of meters.
`
`Again, there are extenders and ways of
`
`extending that, but you're still
`
`talking a relatively small geographical
`
`area.

`
` Q. Got it. Okay. Let me ask
`
`you now about how you distinguish a
`
`LAN-type network from the Internet.
`
`Let me ask it in this way.
`
` Is the public Internet
`
`technically classified as a LAN, or
`
`local area network?
`
` A. The public network, with a
`
`capital I, is typically not considered
`
`to be a LAN. It could be -- components
`
`of it, parts of it could be a LAN but,
`
`generally speaking, it encompasses
`
`distances as large as tens of thousands
`
`of miles.
`
` Q. So it's correct to say that
`
`the Internet in general -- speaking of
`
`the Internet, capital I, so that's the
`
`worldwide web -- so let me rephrase the
`
`question. I just want to get in
`
`context what I mean by "Internet."
`
` So thinking of the Internet
`
`as a whole, it is not technically

`
` Q. I'll have you turn now with
`
`me in the same patent, Exhibit 1001,
`
`which in this matter is the '890
`
`patent -- when I say "this matter," I
`
`believe it's the '221 matter.
`
` Turn with me to Figure 6 of
`
`that patent.
`
` A. Yep.
`
` Q. Okay. Do you notice in
`
`Figure 6 that there are -- at least in
`
`that Box 510, there are some reference
`
`numbers that are also included in
`
`Figure 2?
`
` A. Let me just check that to
`
`make sure. Yes. I see 206 and 208,
`
`which are IVM clients, both in Figure 2

`
`and in Figure 6.
`
` Q. Do you see the local
`
`server -- the local IVM server 202? Do
`
`you also see that appearing in Figure
`
`2?
`
` A. Yes, I see it to the right
`
`side of Figure 2. Yes.
`
` Q. And then there's a -- an
`
`element 102, interconnecting Box 510
`
`and Box 502 in Figure 6.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. Do you understand element 102
`
`to refer to the Internet?
`
` A. That's what the figure says
`
`that it is. And, again, it's hard to
`
`tell because it's all capitalized.
`
`Typically, the public Internet would
`
`have a capital I and lower case other
`
`letters. I'd have to read a
`
`description, but I presume so.

`
`answer. There is a description of
`
`Figure 6 -- let's turn there. I'll
`
`draw your attention to Column 21, lines
`
`49 to 53.
`
` A. Column 21 you said; right?
`
` Q. Yes.
`
` A. Yes. It's clear in this case
`
`that it is the public Internet, because
`
`it has a capital I and then lower case
`
`the rest of the letters. So that
`
`typically refers to the public
`
`Internet.
`
` Q. Okay. Do you see element 102
`
`in Figure 2?
`
` A. No, it does not appear there.
`
` Q. Do you understand that the
`
`reference to "the Internet" appears to
`
`be outside of what's shown in Figure 2?
`
` A. It's not clear. It's not
`
`clear that local IP network 204 could
`
`not be the Internet. It just doesn't
`
`say.

`
` Q. Well, there is a -- if you
`
`look -- let me help you with this
`
`answer by rephrasing my question.
`
` Do you remember when you
`
`pointed to element 202 appearing on the
`
`right-hand side of Figure 2?
`
` A. Yeah, I see that.
`
` Q. And then Element 202 in
`
`Figure 6 appears to be communicating
`
`with the same Box 502.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And it's communicating over
`
`what's identified as Reference 102, or
`
`the Internet.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A. Yes, I do. But that doesn't
`
`mean that 204 is not the Internet as
`
`well. That's not stated.
`
` Q. Well, do you see where -- do
`
`you see where the clients in Figure 6
`
`are communicating with the local IVM

`
`server?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And according to Figure 2,
`
`the clients communicate with the local
`
`IVM server over what network?
`
` A. I just gave some examples.
`
`And I believe the -- hold on for a
`
`second here.
`
` For example, I believe, that
`
`Claim 2 identifies the network as a
`
`local network, but Claim 1 does not.
`
`So I think that -- I think it's left
`
`open. I think it could be a LAN, and
`
`it could be other things as well. It's
`
`just not stated.
`
` (Simultaneous cross-talk.)
`
` Q. -- the elements 206, the IVM
`
`client, 206 and 208.
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. In Figure 2.
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. They communicate -- so

`just with 208, to make it even simpler.
`
` So element 208, IVM client,
`
`that communicates with local IVM server
`
`over what network?
`
` A. A network. It could be a
`
`LAN. It could be a WAN.
`
` Q. Could you identify by
`
`reference number from Figure 2 what
`
`network IVM client communicates with
`
`local IVM server
