`
`MR. BERTULLI: That's fine.
`

`
`Q.
`
`How much time have you spent working
`

`
`A.
`
`More than 25 hours.
`
`It’s hard to be
`
`super precise given that there is another IPR that

`
`in common as well as at least one of the
`
`references in common.

`|'d have to look at it again to see.
`
`Q.
`
`Okay.
`
`Now,
`
`it doesn't appear that
`
`you express an opinion about Dan in your declaration;
`
`is that true?
`
`A,

`
`It's a claim that stands on its own.
`
`It's a claim that

`Q.
`
`Okay.
`
`You have an understanding of

`Q.

`
`What
`
`is your understanding of a
`
`dependent claim?
`
`A.
`
`A dependent claim. Well,
`
`it depends
`
`on an independent claim.
`
`It has all of the
`
`limitations of an independent claim plus it has --
`
`it
`
`expresses its own limitations that must also be met.
`
`Q.
`
`And you would agree that the
`
`limitation of a dependent claim that must also be met
`
`may not necessarily be required by the broader
`
`independent claim;
`
`is that fair?
`
`MR. HENDIFAR: That calls for a
`
`legal
`
`conclusion.
`
`THE WITNESS: Yes.
`

`Q.
`
`But because the independent claim is
`
`|
`
`broader,
`
`it is also not foreclosed from including the

`
`feature later recited by the dependent claim;
`

`
`MR. HENDIFAR: Objection to form. That
`
`calls for a legal conclusion.

`

`
`Okay, but it's just that the

`independent claim is not required to encompass the
`
`scope of the dependent claim;

`
`Sure.

`
`The claims describe

`
`BY MR. BERTULLI:

`Q.
`
`Okay.
`
`So the claims of the '074
`
`patent describe the invention in your view;
`

`
`A.
`
`Yeah.

`
`Near the bottom of page 12,

`
`Q.

`A.
`
`Yes.
`
`What do you mean by a first method?
`
`There's a portion of the
`
`specification of the '074 where they're describing
`
`two approaches to replacing the chunks in the cache,
`
`and this is the first of those two methods.
`
`operates?
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Can you describe how the first method
`
`Yes. At a high level
`
`it is going
`
`through on an object-by-object basis and wil!
`
`essentially delete an object and check to see if
`
`there's sufficient space, and if there isn't,
`
`it will
`
`move to another object to determine whether or not to
`delete that object.

`

`

`
`that set of objects that have been identified in an

`
`THE WITNESS:
`
`1 don’t think | would
`
`characterize it that way, because | don’t think
`
`that's consistent with what the patent
`
`is describing.
`
`From the bottom of column 10 to column 11,
`
`it’s
`
`describing having identified the set, and it's
`
`considering that entire set and then going through
`
`them in a round-robin fashion.
`
`BY MR. BERTULLI:
`
`Q.
`
`When you say, “Going through them in
`
`a round-robin fashion," do you mean the objects in
`
`the set?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`And so when it goes through the

`going through them in a round-robin fashion, which

`Q.
`
`So in the passage that you're reading
`
`in the ‘074 patent, at the top of column 11, just
`
`line 1,
`
`it reads that,
`
`"Chunks of the victim set are
`
`overwritten in a round-robin fashion’;
`
`is that right?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`And when it's overwriting chunks as
`
`described at the top of column 11,
`
`is the process
`
`also deleting chunks?
`
`A,
`
`| believe those chunks are
`
`effectively deleted, yes.
`
`Q.
`
`Okay.
`
`So you would agree that
`
`identifying what
`
`is to be deleted is different than
`
`actually deleting;
`
`is that fair?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`It can be, yes.
`
`Is that the understanding that a

`
`Okay.
`
`Do you see where the claim recites,
`

`
`line 63,
`
`replacing a portion of
`
`each of said SM objects?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.

`Do you interpret that replacing step
`

`
`replaced of each of the SM objects in the set are
`
`replaced in one simultaneous deletion and writing
`
`step?

`
`that something be simultaneous in the claim language.
`
`Q.
`
`And if you look to claim -- well,
`
`let
`
`me step back for a moment.
`
`Le

`
`1
`
`074 patent, you reviewed the claims of the
`
`patent;
`
`is that right?
`
`When you performed your analysis on
`DAT
`‘074
`
`Page 34 10
`
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay.
`
`And you had to interpret them
`
`in some way so that you could effectively compare the
`
`claims to the prior art when you were performing your
`
`analysis;
`
`is that right?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay.
`
`So claim 4 at the bottom of
`
`column 16,
`
`that depends on claim 3;
`
`is that right?
`
`A,
`
`Q.
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay.
`
`And as claim 4 moves on to the
`
`next page starting at the top of column 17,
`
`it
`
`recites the method of claim 3 wherein the replacing
`
`step further comprises the step of replacing a chunk
`
`having an associated highest timestamp value from
`
`each of said SM objects belonging to said composed
`
`set
`
`in a round-robin basis.
`
`Do you see that?
