`BALASSANIAN REFUSED TO PROVIDE HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE CLAIMS
`
`Edward Balassanian
`Lead Inventor & Founder
`
`Q. What inventions set forth in the Claims of the Patents did you
`conceive of?
`A. The specific inventions detailed in the claims.
`Q. What are those inventions?
`A. They are what the claims state they are. And I am not going to
`construe claims for you.
`Q. Do you have any understanding of how the Claims of the Patents
`are construed?
`A. I do not purport to understand claim construction.
`Q. Have you read the claims?
`A. At some point, yes, I have.
`Q. And did you understand the claims when you read them?
`A. My understanding of the claims is simply as a layman. I do not
`have a legal perspective on the claims.
`Q. Can you tell me what that understanding is?
`A. Not without reading the claims.
`*****
`Q. Okay. Having just read Claim 1 of the 791 patent, can you tell me
`your understanding of the invention of Claim 1?
`A. Claim 1 is, specifically, what Claim 1 says. And for me to say
`anymore than that would mean I’m construing what it means. And I
`am not going to do that. I am not a lawyer.

`BALASSANIAN IMPROPERLY CONNECTED CONCEPTION TO SPECIFICATION
`
`Edward Balassanian
`Lead Inventor & Founder
`
`Q. And so when you said: "According to the invention that Mr.
`Bradley and I conceived of earlier in 2001.” Are you referring
`to the claims of the 791 and the 252 patents?
`A. No, I'm referring to the general concept of synchronizing audio
`and video content.
`Q. So, anytime throughout this declaration when you’re testifying
`that tests and demos synchronize content according to the
`invention, am I correct in saying that you are not referring to
`the claims in the invention?
`A. In this particular sentence, I am saying that the demonstration
`synchronized content according to the invention in my references
`in regards to the concept of synchronizing multimedia content in
`the network. I am not speaking to the invention as claimed in
`the patent or any other references to invention in here.
`Unless
`you want to specifically call them out and I can tell you what I
`think I meant by them.

`IMPLICIT’S SWEAR BEHIND LACKS INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION
`
`It is well established that when a party seeks to
`prove conception through an inventor’s testimony,
`the party must proffer evidence, “in addition to [the
`inventor’s] own statements and documents,”
`corroborating the inventor’s testimony.

`

`IMPLICIT’S SWEAR BEHIND LACKS INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION
`
`The requirement of independent corroboration exists
`to prevent an inventor from “describ[ing] his actions
`in an unjustifiably self-serving manner.”
`
`Chen v. Bouchard,
`347 F.3d 1299, 1309
`(Fed. Cir. 2003)
`
`“Even the most credible inventor testimony is a
`fortiori required to be corroborated by independent
`evidence.”

`

`IMPLICIT’S SWEAR BEHIND LACKS INDEPENDENT CORROBORATION
`
`The sufficiency of the proffered corroboration is
`determined by a “rule of reason” analysis.
`
`In re NTP, Inc.,

`
`Cooper v. Goldfarb,
`154 F.3d 1321, 1330
`(Fed. Cir. 1998)
`
`But, even under the “rule of reason” analysis, the
`“evidence of corroboration must not depend solely
`on the inventor himself.”

`
` With respect to the source code written by Guy Carpenter, Implicit
`presents no evidence (other than Balassanian’s uncorroborated
`testimony) that the inventors communicated the invention to
`Carpenter
`
`Ex. 2019, lns. 23-25 (“Owner: Guy Carpenter”); Ex.2017 (same); Ex.2020 (same).
`
`The record is devoid of evidence that
`Carpenter’s work inured to the benefit of
`the inventors and thus the Board should not
`rely on the code for conception or RTP.

`
`Here, Implicit made no attempt in its POR to tie its source
`code to the actual limitations of the Challenged Claims.
` Instead, Implicit defers to its expert declaration (Ex. 2080) and
`accompanying claim chart (Ex. 2081)
`
