` EXAMINATION 09:02:43
`BY MR. PALYS: 09:03:03
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Wong. 09:03:04
` A. Good morning. 09:03:06
` Q. Thank you for being here today. 09:03:07
`Before we begin, I just want to get some issues 09:03:09
`out of the way so I'm going to have a 09:03:13
`conversation with your attorney here, okay? 09:03:15
` A. Okay. 09:03:22
` MR. PALYS: So there was a pause 09:03:22
` already on that first question. This is 09:03:23
` the issue, Jim, that I have. Right now, 09:03:25
` counsel for VIS is allowing their 09:03:27
` witness to read the realtime feed that 09:03:31
` is being provided by the court reporter. 09:03:33
` Petitioner objects to this. We think 09:03:37
` it's inappropriate. And I'll let patent 09:03:39

` owner provide his position on the 09:03:41
` record. 09:03:43
` MR. LENNON: So Mr. Wong is fluent 09:03:44
` in reading and writing English. He's 09:03:47
` less comfortable orally listening and 09:03:49
` speaking in English and we, in order to 09:03:52
` allow the deposition to continue in 09:03:58
` English, rather than have so many 09:04:00
` questions and answers interpreted, we're 09:04:05
` going to allow Mr. Wong to read the 09:04:08
` current question. This shouldn't be 09:04:11
` objectionable. We're agreeing not to 09:04:12
` scroll back through the record to look 09:04:15
` at prior testimony, so the reading is 09:04:17
` just going to be for the current 09:04:22
` question and hopefully will ultimately 09:04:24
` allow the deposition to go more quickly 09:04:27
` if we're not having to ask for so many 09:04:29
` translations. 09:04:32
` And I'll note further for the 09:04:33
` record that we did agree to be available 09:04:34
` for a third day to the extent that the 09:04:38
` time delay involved in the language 09:04:41
` issues requires us to take more time. 09:04:43

` MR. PALYS: Okay. Thank you, Jim. 09:04:47
` Yesterday, I understand that VIS 09:04:50
` submitted and filed with the board a 09:04:55
` stipulation on behalf of both parties 09:04:57
` with respect to these matters. Is that 09:05:00
` accurate? 09:05:02
` MR. LENNON: That's accurate. 09:05:03
` MR. PALYS: I don't believe we got 09:05:05
` a service copy of that, but I'm assuming 09:05:06
` that the stipulations that the parties 09:05:08
` agreed with in our communications 09:05:10
` yesterday is what was filed with the 09:05:13
` PTAB. Correct? 09:05:17
` MR. LENNON: That's my 09:05:18
` understanding as well. 09:05:18
`BY MR. PALYS: 09:05:22
` Q. Okay, now back to you, Dr. Wong. 09:05:23
` A. Okay. 09:05:25
` Q. Could you please spell your first and 09:05:26
`last name for the record? 09:05:30

` Q. Thank you for that. 09:10:30
` MR. PALYS: I want to note for the 09:10:32
` record here that it's not going to show 09:10:33
` up on a transcript, but there's a lot of 09:10:35
` pauses between what Dr. Wong -- when 09:10:37
` he's testifying. And from what I can 09:10:40
` gather, he's reading his answer on the. 09:10:42
` Q. Realtime as he's providing his 09:10:45
`answer, which is not really what my 09:10:47
`understanding of what, Jim, you said he was 09:10:49
`going to use the realtime transcript for. If 09:10:51
`he needs to use the realtime transcript to read 09:10:54
`the question, that's fine, but he should be 09:10:57
`able to provide the answer back to me in 09:11:00
`English without reading his answer as he's 09:11:03
`providing it. I think that's inappropriate, 09:11:04
`and we object to that. 09:11:06
` MR. LENNON: Okay. I mean, I'm 09:11:09
` going to let Mr. Wong -- I'm not going 09:11:11
` to instruct him one way or the other. I 09:11:14
` think however he feels most comfortable 09:11:15
` giving his testimony, but I'll let you 09:11:17
` note that for the record. 09:11:20

` your witness continue to review the 09:11:23

` cross-examination and read his answer as 09:11:27

` MR. LENNON: I think we're going 09:11:30
` down a slippery slope, if you want to, 09:11:31
` for any of us to monitor his eyeballs as 09:11:33
` he is doing it. I don't think there's 09:11:37
` anything inappropriate with him looking 09:11:39
` at the screen as he's giving an answer. 09:11:41
` It's sort of the same thing as his 09:11:42
` listening to the translator do the 09:11:51

` to listen to what's being recorded. 09:11:55
