`

`
` Q. I understand. My question goes 09:19:19
`
`specifically to declaration testimony. 09:19:21
`
` Are there other instances of 09:19:24
`
`declaration testimony that you have given in IPRs 09:19:26
`
`other than the one in Exhibit 2? 09:19:31
`
` MS. BUTLER: Objection; form. 09:19:34
`
` THE WITNESS: We need to take a 09:19:35
`
`break. 09:19:39
`
` MS. BUTLER: Let's take a break. 09:19:43
`
` MR. ASHBROOK: Before we go off of 09:19:46
`
`the record, there is a question pending. And 09:19:48
`
`therefore, to the extent the witness wants to ask 09:19:54
`
`a question of counsel for the Defendants 09:19:58
`
`concerning privilege, I am fine with that. 09:20:02
`
` And to the extent the witness wants 09:20:07
`
`to ask a question of counsel for the Defendants 09:20:09
`
`about her confidentiality obligations, I am fine 09:20:12
`
`with that. 09:20:16
`
` But there is a question pending, 09:20:18
`
`and so I expect that counsel will not talk to the 09:20:20
`
`witness about the substance of her response. 09:20:26
`
` MS. BUTLER: All right. We will 09:20:33
`
`take a break. 09:20:34

`
`back on the record at 9:26 a.m. 09:26:21
`
`BY MR. ASHBROOK: 09:26:27
`
` Q. Dr. Hall-Ellis, before we took the 09:26:27
`
`break, you heard me say something about questions 09:26:31
`
`about privilege and about confidentiality but not 09:26:35
`
`about substance. 09:26:38
`
` A. That's correct. 09:26:40
`
` Q. Did you discuss the substance of the 09:26:41
`
`answer to my question while you were outside the 09:26:46
`
`room with your counsel? 09:26:51
`
` MR. ASHBROOK: Objection; form. 09:26:52
`
`BY MR. ASHBROOK:
`
` Q. With counsel for the Defendants. 09:26:53
`
` A. No. 09:26:55
`
` Q. So the question I had asked before we 09:26:56
`
`took a break was: Are there other instances of 09:26:59
`
`declaration testimony that you have given in IPRs 09:27:07
`
`other than the one in Exhibit 2? 09:27:10
`
` A. Yes.

`

`
` THE WITNESS: I don't remember. 09:27:27
`
`BY MR. ASHBROOK: 09:27:28
`
` Q. Why didn't you disclose that earlier to 09:27:30
`
`the attorneys at Baker Botts? 09:27:44
`
` MS. BUTLER: Objection; form. 09:27:45
`
` THE WITNESS: I am not willing to 09:27:46
`
`breach confidentiality of work product for anyone 09:27:55
`
`with whom I work. I am not able to do that. I 09:27:59
`
`will not do that. 09:28:05
`
`BY MR. ASHBROOK:
`
` Q. And do you think that disclosing the 09:28:13
`
`fact that you have given a declaration testimony 09:28:15
`
`in an IPR is -- constitutes the disclosure of 09:28:17
`
`work product? 09:28:26
`
` MS. BUTLER: Objection; form. 09:28:28
`
` THE WITNESS: My agreements with 09:28:28
`
`attorneys is such that the confidentiality of the 09:28:34
`
`document that I am writing or the materials that 09:28:39
`
`I am examining remain confidential. If and when 09:28:42
`
`they are filed publicly, I am not in charge of 09:28:47
`
`that process. They are public documents at that 09:28:50
`
`time. I have no control of the filing. 09:28:53

`

`
`Botts that you hadn't given any other testimony, 09:29:10
`

`

`

`
` Q. So with the recognition that the 09:30:40
`
`declaration was going to be filed as evidence, 09:30:47
`
`you nevertheless told the lawyers at Baker Botts 09:30:50
`
`nothing about it because you didn't bother to 09:30:56
`
`check whether, in fact, it had been filed as 09:31:01

`
` MS. BUTLER: Objection; form. 09:31:05
`
`BY MR. ASHBROOK:
`
` Q. Do I have that right? 09:31:06
`
` A. I do not check to see when they are 09:31:07
`
`filed. 09:31:08
`
` Q. And is it your belief, after having 09:31:18
`
`conferred with counsel for the Defendants, that 09:31:23
`
`you have no obligation to disclose trial 09:31:26
`
`testimony that was -- that you gave but that you 09:31:31
`
`have not checked whether it's been made public or 09:31:40
`
`not? 09:31:46
`
` MS. BUTLER: Objection; form. This 09:31:47
`
`is calling for a legal conclusion of what she has 09:31:50
`
`an obligation to disclose or not disclose. She 09:31:52

`is not here to interpret the Federal Rules of 09:31:54

`
`from IPR 201801296. 10:06:03
`
` Now, I think we discussed before 10:06:19

` Q. On-order record. 12:24:21
`
` A. On-order? 12:24:23
`
` MS. BUTLER: Objection; form. 12:24:25
`
` THE WITNESS: An on-order record is 12:24:25
`
`one that libraries have an option to use to let 12:24:28
`
`people know something is coming. It's a 12:24:34
`
`temporary record, I would say, in some cases. In 12:24:35
`
`other cases, it becomes the basis for what 12:24:39
`
`evolves into the record. 12:24:41
`
`BY MR. ASHBROOK:
`
` Q. Is an on-order record in MARC format? 12:24:47
`
` A. It depends. 12:24:52
`
` Q. It can be; is that correct? 12:24:53
`
` A. It may be. 12:24:55
`
` Q. And can an on-order record have a fixed 12:25:02
`
`Field 008? 12:25:10
`

`
` Q. Will it have a date and characters 00 12:25:15
`
`through 05? 12:25:23
`
` A. If it's entered that way, it would have 12:25:24

`
` Q. How could you tell if an entry in the 12:26:45
`
`OLOC (sic) database began as an on-order record? 12:26:48
`
` A. That's an entirely different question. 12:26:53
`
`You are asking me if it started as an on-order 12:26:56
`
`record. They are not what the database is to 12:27:00
`
`contain. 12:27:08
`
` And if, in fact, it ends up in 12:27:09
`
`there, the probability is very low that it would 12:27:11
`
`still be an on-order record. On-order records 12:27:14

`
` Q. How does a shelf-ready resource work? 12:27:45
