`
` EXAMINATION
`
`BY MR. DEUTSCH:
`
` Q. Thank you for joining today, Dr. Chatterjee. I
`
`will of course be asking several questions. As usual,
`
`if I ask a question and I'm unclear, please go ahead and
`
`ask me to clarify and I will restate or rephrase the
`
`question. If you don't ask me to clarify I'll assume
`
`you understood the question, is that fair?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. All right. Please refer to Exhibit 1110. This
`
`is the Crumlish exhibit. Do you recall the Pegasus mail
`
`program that is listed in Crumlish?
`
` A. I do.
`
` Q. In the Pegasus mail program, once you've read a
`
`message it will automatically be moved to the main mail
`
`folder after you close the new mail folder or exit
`
`Pegasus, is that correct?
`
` A. Something like that, yes. I haven't memorized
`
`everything in Crumlish, but yes, I do vaguely remember
`
`that it works something like that.
`
` Q. And go ahead, this is Pages 63 and 64 of
`
`Exhibit 1110 is a discussion of Pegasus mail. And in
`
`particular on Page 64, the feature I mentioned is

`

`

`

`
`Page 6
`
`discussed about halfway down the page, do you see that
`
`feature?
`
` A. Yes, "Once you've read a message it will
`
`automatically be moved to the main mail folder after you
`
`close that email folder or exit Pegasus."
`
` Q. In Pegasus mail if a user reads an email but
`
`does not yet reply to it, that read message is removed
`
`from the new mail folder and moved to the main mail
`
`folder after the new mail folder or the program is
`
`exited, is that correct?
`
` A. I'm sorry, so you said, your question was if a
`
`user reads a message but does not reply to it and then
`
`closes the Pegasus program will it be moved
`
`automatically to the main mail folder, is that your
`
`question?
`
` Q. Sure.
`
` A. Yes, I believe so.
`
` Q. And I can rephrase that. In other words, the
`
`criteria that a Pegasus mail user uses to determine
`
`whether a message is moved from a new mail folder to the
`
`main mail folder is whether the message has been read,
`
`is that correct?
`
` A. It states, "Once you've read a message it will
`
`automatically be moved to the main mail folder," so yes,
`
`based on what you said, I agree with you, but with the
`
`www.veritext.com
`
`Paradigm, A Veritext Company
`
`888-391-3376
`
`6
`
`
`
`Page 7
`
`caveat that that happens only after you close the email
`
`folder or exit Pegasus.
`
` Q. Right. After a user closes the new mail folder
`
`or exits Pegasus, a message is moved based on the
`
`criteria of whether it has been read, isn't that right?
`
` A. I'm not sure what you mean by the criteria of
`
`whether it's been read, but yes, once the message has
`
`been read it will automatically be moved after you close
`
`the main mail folder or exit Pegasus.
`
` Q. Okay. Let's turn to Exhibit 1130. This is the
`
`deposition transcript of Dr. Surati.
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. And in particular please turn to Page 95.
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. On Page 95 at Lines 10 to 12 there is a
`
`question, do you see that?
`
` A. I see the question, yes.
`
` Q. Could you read that question?
`
` A. Do you want me to read it out loud?
`
` Q. Yes.
`
` A. The question is, "So let me ask you the
`
`question, do you keep your mail around until you reply
`
`to it?"
`
` Q. This question doesn't explicitly ask about Dr.
`
`Surati's practice in 2003, is that correct?

`
`
`
`Page 8
`
` A. I can't really tell you. I was just reading
`
`these two lines here, I don't know what the context is.
`
`Like you mentioned, this is Page 95, and so I would
`
`think that there's 94 other pages of context before
`
`that.
`
` Q. Yeah. And please take the time to refresh
`
`anything here if you need to, particularly just with
`
`respect to this question. I mean, I don't see that
`
`refers to the 2003 time period, is that right?
`
` A. If your question is whether on Page 95 of
`
`Exhibit 1130, Lines 10 through 12, the number 2003
`
`appears, I don't see that. I see 2003 appearing about
`
`ten lines below that on Line 22.
`
` Q. Right. And in that question it appears the
`
`question is directed to different users and not Dr.
`
`Surati's practice, is that correct?
`
` A. Again, with the same caveat that I haven't read
`
`the preceding 94 pages of context, just looking at those
`
`lines, Lines 21 through 24 of Page 95, just taking a
`
`quick skim through it, I think the question says would
`
`you agree that in the 2003 time frame different users
`
`may have different approaches to how they review and
`
`organize incoming email messages. So I'm not sure how
`
`to answer your question.
`
` Q. Right. And going back to the preceding
`

`
`888-391-3376
`
`8
`
`
`
`Page 9
`
`question, at Lines 10 to 12 there's nothing in that
`
`question that refers to the 2003 time frame, or that
`
`suggests it's directed to anything other than the
`
`current practice of Dr. Surati?
`
` A. Well, I think like I said, I haven't memorized
`
`everything. Just to be clear, this is not my depo
`
`transcript, this is Dr. Surati's depo transcript, and I
`
`have not memorized everything that's in it. And like I
`
`mentioned a couple of times, I don't know what the
`
`preceding context is right now off the top of my head.
`
`But at the same time, this deposition is related to this
`
`patent and this IPR, and so I think things are within
`
`the relevant time frame of December 2003, but again,
`
`with the caveat that I haven't memorized the preceding
`
`94 pages of context. So I think that's how I answer the
`
`question for you.
`
` Q. Isn't it possible that Dr. Surati was describing
`
`his current practice in response to the question at
`
`Page 95, Lines 10 through 12?
`
` A. I'm sorry, say that again, isn't it possible
`
`that what?
`
` Q. Isn't it possible that Dr. Surati was describing
`
`his current email practice in his response to the
`
`question at Page 95, Lines 10 through 12?
`
` A. Again, I'm not sure how to answer that question.

`
`
`
`Page 10
`
`Like I said, I don't know what's preceding this
`
`question, or I don't remember off the top of my head
`
`what's preceding this question right now. But like I
`
`mentioned, this deposition is related to this IPR, it's
`
`not just a deposition in a vacuum. So I would think
`
`that there may be context before this that sets up the
`
`December 2003 time frame. But again, like I was saying,
`
`this is not my deposition and this is somebody else's
`
`deposition and I have not memorized everything that's
`
`preceding this portion right now.
`
` Q. Right, understood. Understood with respect to
`
`the other, the other discussion. It sounds like what
`
`you're saying, there's nothing in this question on
`
`Page 95, Lines 10 through 12 or the immediate answer
`
`after that question that refers to the 2003 time frame?
`
` A. I think the only way I can answer that is that I
`
`can by skimming through those Lines 10 through 12, I
`
`think I answered for you that the number 2003 doesn't
`
`appear. But then also if you look at Line 15 onwards
`
`when Dr. Surati starts to answer the question, he starts
`
`by, "I mean, it doesn't affect my opinions," and then
`
`he's talking, he's continuing on. So it seems that
`
`there's a lot of context before this because he's
`
`talking about "doesn't affect my opinions." So it's
`
`really talking about that there is previous context to
`
`1
`

`

`
`888-391-3376
`
`10
`
`
`
`Page 11
`
`this question and to this answer, which again, I have
`
`not memorized the context that preceded this right now.
`
` Q. Understood. And you mentioned the answer that
`
`Dr. Surati provided, and in that answer you did not
`
`refer to a prior time frame or a past time frame when
`
`you gave that answer, is that correct?
`
` A. I don't think I said that. I think what I said
`
`was that his answer is referencing some discussion that
`
`seems to have happened preceding this question because
`
`he's talking about it "doesn't affect my opinions." So
`
`it seems like what he's saying here may be related to
`
`questions and answers that have preceded this question
`
`that starts on Page 95, Lines 10 through 12, and also
`
`the fact that he's talking about his opinions which
`
`would be his expert opinions in this declaration, that
`
`seems to be what I remember from his declaration he is
`
`talking about his opinions based on the relevant time
`
`frame around 2003 December. So the fact that we're
`
`talking about opinions in Line 16 seems to be that he
`
`may be. And again, this is because I haven't memorized
`
`everything that comes before this, but I think if your
`
`question is does the number 2003 appear, I think I can
`
`tell you just like you can see in black and white, the
`
`number 2003 does not appear.
`
` Q. So it is possible that he was describing his

`
`
`
`Page 12
`
`current practice in responding to that question when he
`
`describes how he deals with mail?
`
` A. Again, I'm just skimming through it, it doesn't
`
`seem like the words current practice or 2020 or 2019
`
`show up either.
`
` Q. So isn't it possible that he's describing his
`
`current practice?
`
` A. I'm saying that without refamiliarizing myself
`
`with all of the context that preceded this question on
`
`Page 95, I can't really tell you. If you want me to
`
`guess, you know, maybe it's a 50/50 toss-up whether he
`
`is or not. But I can't answer that question without
`
`looking at all of the context that preceded this
`
`question on Page 95.
`
` Q. Certainly feel free to refer to whatever is
`
`helpful to you.
`
` A. You mean you want me to review the previous 94
`
`pages now?
`
` Q. Well, I don't think that is helpful here. I can
`
`rephrase. I think what I heard you say was that it's
`
`not impossible that in responding to that question he
`
`was describing his current email practice, of course you
`
`haven't read the previous 94 pages as you mentioned.
`
` A. I don't think I said that. And I just looked
`
`back to Page 94 and if you look at Page 94, Lines 2 to
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`

`

`

`

`
`12
`
`
`
`Page 13
`
`6, there's a question there and that's specifically
`
`referring to the 2003 time frame of the patent. And so
`
`I think consistent with what I just told you, it seems
`
`like his answer, because he's talking about his
`
`opinions, and again, I've reviewed his declaration, both
`
`of his declarations, and I think he makes it clear that
`
`his opinions are related to the 2003 time frame. And
`
`this question on the preceding page on 94 seems to be
`
`very explicit that it's talking about the 2003 time
`
`frame.
`
` So I think, again, I can't give you a definitive
`
`answer without reviewing all of the context that came
`
`before Page 95, but just looking at the previous page,
`
`it's clear that there was discussion about the 2003 time
`
`frame immediately before.
`
` Q. Understood. Thanks for clarifying that. On
`
`Page 94 the question beginning at Line 2, as you noted,
`
`explicitly mentions the 2003 time frame and is related
`
`to email programs in that 2003 time frame. I think you
`
`noted previously that the question on Page 95 at Lines
`
`10 through 12 does not explicitly refer to the 2003 time
`
`frame?
`
` A. I agree with you that the question that we were
`
`looking at on Page 95 does not have the number 2003 in
`
`it. The part that I will disagree with you on is

`couple of times now, I would need to review all of that
`
`context to refamiliarize myself with it.
`
` Q. So you're saying it's impossible that Dr.
`
`Surati's answer is directed to his current practice in
`
`his response on Page 95 in Line 15?
`
` A. I think you're asking me to say whether
`
`something is possible or not for somebody else and I
`
`don't know how to answer that question. All I can tell
`
`you is that when I looked at this deposition transcript
`
`prior to writing my declaration I actually went through
`
`the entirety of it and so at that time I understood the
`
`context of the questions and what the flow of the
`
`questions and the answers were.
`
` All I'm saying right now is right now I have not
`
`gone through the entirety of it and so I don't know how
`
`to answer your question based on the fact that I have
`
`not looked at everything that came before it. And so I
`
`just don't know how to answer your question right now.
`
` Q. Right now sitting here you don't have an opinion
`
`whether the answer at Page 95, Lines 15 to 20, is
`
`directed to Dr. Surati's current practice or not?

`
` A. Right now without having reviewed the context
`
`that came before it, I have not memorized everything
`
`that's in Dr. Surati's deposition transcript and so I
`
`think I can't answer that question right now. If
`
`there's something in my declaration, I'm happy to answer
`
`it because, like I just stated, prior to drafting my
`
`declaration I reviewed the deposition transcript in its
`
`entirety in the correct order. So I think that's my
`
`answer.
`
` Q. Let's turn back to Crumlish in 1110 and in
`
`particular Page 45.
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. Do you see the screen shot of a Microsoft
`
`Exchange inbox?
`
` A. I do.
`
` Q. On the right half of the inbox it includes
`
`several columns of information relating to the messages
`
`in the inbox, do you see that?
`
` A. I believe so, yes.
`
` Q. Could you describe what columns are displayed?
`
` A. Well, three of them have names on them, one of
`
`them is called from, one of them is called subject, one
`
`of them is called received. And then the other columns
`
`have icons for those columns.
`
` Q. What information is in each of the from, subject

`
`
`
`Page 16
`
`and received columns?
`
` A. I think the information in the from column is
`
`who the email is from, and the information in the
`
`subject column is the subject of the email, and the
`
`information in the received column is when the email was
`
`received. And I'm answering this question based on just
`
`my understanding just by looking at this figure right
`
`now, I have not read the information before that right
`
`now as well. So I think I just want to put that caveat
`
`in there that I'm just answering your question based on
`
`just that figure, Figure 2.1, and not from reading what
`
`may be right before it or around that figure.
`
` Q. Understood. And please read, feel free to
`
`review any text you think is pertinent to answering my
`
`question. And you describe the from column as who the
`
`email, who the message is from, would that be described
`
`as the sender of the message?
`
` A. Well, I think the column name is from and I'm
`
`looking at right below the figure and it's saying
`
`mailboxes generally list just the sender's name, the
`
`subject line of the message, and probably its date as
`
`well. So reading that it seems like that first column
`
`is the sender's name and then the subject and the
`
`received column correspond to the subject line of the
`
`message and the date of the message.

`
` Q. Was the Microsoft Exchange email application
`
`that's shown the only email application from the 2003 or
`
`earlier time frame where the inbox provides a from,
`
`subject and received column?
`
` A. I don't believe so. Like I remember platforms
`
`like Eudora had something like that as well. I don't
`
`recall off the top of my head what the specific column
`
`titles were, but platforms like Eudora and other mail
`
`systems had similar types of information that was
`
`displayed.
`
` Q. In this particular screen shot the caption
`
`indicates that messages are listed in the order they
`
`were sent, do you see that?
`
` A. Right, and it continues on, from the most recent
`
`to the oldest.
`
` Q. Correct. Would that be accomplished by clicking
`
`on the received heading on the right side of the inbox?
`
` A. I think, again, just not reading what came
`
`before this figure or around this figure, based on my
`
`recollection that the received would sort or order based
`
`on the received time or the time of the message that we
`
`were discussing a few moments ago.
`
` Q. I'm not sure I understood. Let me rephrase the
`
`question. If a user wanted to order messages in the
`
`order they were sent as shown in the screen shot, how

`
`23
`
`24
`
`25
`
`Page 18
`
`would you do that in the Microsoft Exchange as shown
`
`here?
`
` A. So I think I'm not clear what you mean by in the
`
`order that they were sent because the received is really
`
`when it's received, so I'm not sure I understand your
`
`question. Like, for example, if you send a message but
`
`then I don't receive it until three hours later, that's
`
`something a little bit different. So I think my
`
`understanding of this, again, just simply going from the
`
`title of the column received, is that it seems to
`
`indicate the time stamp of when the message, the email
`
`was received.
`
` Q. Right. And if a user was sorting based on that
`
`received time stamp, one way to do that would be to
`
`click on the received header in that column?
`
` A. I believe so, yes. In Microsoft Exchange based
`
`on this screen shot, I believe so that you can click on
`
`that, the column header and it would sort based on the
`
`received time stamp. And I think if you click it again
`
`it will sort the other way around.
`
` Q. Okay. Let's turn to Exhibit 2014. This is the
`
`Apple iMac user guide from 2002.
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. Page 21 of the exhibit describes the Apple mail
`
`software used on Apple iMac computers and it displays a

`www.veritext.com

`
`Page 19
`
`screen shot.
`
` A. Which page did you say?
`
` Q. Page 21 of the pdf.
`
` A. Okay, I'm there.
`
` Q. Page 21 describes the Apple mail software used
`
`on Apple iMac computers and it displays a screen shot of
`
`the user interface, do you see that screen shot of the
`
`user interface?
`
` A. I see the screen shot, yes, I see the screen
`
`shot.
`
` Q. And do you see the columns that list information
`
`about messages in the mailbox, particularly a column
`
`titled from, a column titled subject, and a column
`
`titled date and time?
`
` A. Yes. And there seems to be some other columns
`
`before that, but I do see columns titled from, subject
`
`and date and time, but there's no messages below that.
`
` Q. The from column here would have been understood
`
`it is reflecting where the message was received from, in
`
`other words, the sender of the message, is that correct?
`
` A. I think, again, I haven't memorized everything
`
`that's in this document, but I think based on simply
`
`looking at this screen shot and my general understanding
`
`of how mail client software systems work, I would tend
`
`to agree with you that that from column would show who

`
`sent the message.
`
` Q. Earlier you had mentioned there's other email
`
`applications in the 2003 time frame, I think
`
`particularly Eudora was one that you mentioned you're
`
`familiar with from the 2003 time frame. Was it
`
`impossible in the Eudora interface to sort messages by
`
`sender?
`
` A. Was it impossible, is that what you asked me?
`
` Q. Correct.
`
` A. I couldn't tell you if it was impossible. And
`
`this is, we're talking about almost 20 years ago. My
`
`vague recollection, again, just going from my, off the
`
`top of my head recollection is that Eudora had similar
`
`types of columns like from, subject, time, things like
`
`that. I couldn't tell you exactly what the title of the
`
`columns were, but it probably included similar types of
`
`columns.
`
` Q. And in those similar types of columns the user
`
`could order messages in a particular way according to
`
`one of those columns, such as date received?
`
` A. So I think if you're asking me specifically
`
`about Eudora, I couldn't tell you off the top of my head
`
`whether it did or not. But for like the screen shot
`
`that we're looking at right now in Exhibit 2014, I
`
`notice that there's an up arrow next to it, so that

`
`
`
`Page 21
`
`seems to indicate that you can press that to sort either
`
`upwards or downwards. And then returning to your
`
`question with Eudora, it may have worked in a similar
`
`way, but I can't really tell you with 100 percent
`
`certainty because it's 20 years ago.
`
` Q. Got it. How about America Online, is that an
`
`interface that you are familiar with from the 2003 time
`
`frame?
`
` A. It is, I used that as well.
`
` Q. Was it impossible for the America Online
`
`interface to sort by sender or subject or receive
`
`columns?
`
` A. I think my answer to that is the same as my
`
`answer to your question with regards to Eudora, that I
`
`don't remember exactly, but it may have had or probably
`
`did have a similar set of column names and it may have
`
`allowed to press the column title or some other means to
`
`sort the messages below that.
`
` Q. How about for cc:Mail, is that a program you're
`
`familiar with from the 2003 time frame?
`
` A. It's not a program that I used every day, but
`
`I'm familiar with it. With regards to that I know what
`
`it is, but I think we've discussed the ones that I used
`
`regularly.
`
` Q. Based on what you do know about it, was it

`
`

`Page 22
`
`impossible for the cc:Mail interface to sort by sender?
`
` A. I think it's the same answer that like I just
`
`mentioned, I don't recall, it's 20 years ago, but it may
`
`have provided that capability.
`
` Q. Understood. There's a few more I'm interested
`
`in, one is the CompuServe email application from the
`
`2003 time frame, is that an application that you were
`
`familiar with?
`
` A. I think I would say similar, that I'm familiar
`
`with it, but I didn't use it regularly. And just to,
`
`just to kind of like clarify, when you're saying in the
`
`2003 time frame, I'm not saying that I used these only
`
`in 2003, I think all of my answers are in 2003 or
`
`before.
`
` Q. Understood. Thanks for clarifying. And in the
`
`preceding question the intent was to refer to the
`
`interface of that software in the 2003 time frame.
`
`There was a NetCruiser email application in the 2003
`
`time frame, was it impossible for the NetCruiser
`
`interface in the 2003 time frame to sort by sender?
`
` A. Sorry, can I just interrupt. I think I gave
`
`that clarification that I don't, when I'm answering your
`
`questions about Eudora and things like that, it's not
`
`limited to 2003, but then I think you said that you were
`
`kind of talking about the 2003 time frame. So I think

`
`my clarification or further clarification is that I used
`
`systems like Eudora prior to 2003 and perhaps also in
`
`2003, but the answers that I gave you are not limited to
`
`2003. For example, my usage of Eudora say in 2001, I
`
`can't really tell you whether a feature existed exactly
`
`in 2003, but my recollection of using Eudora is from
`
`that time frame, but not necessarily limited to only
`
`2003.
`
` Q. Understood. You mentioned earlier you're
`
`familiar with the Pegasus mail application of course?
`
` A. Right.
`
` Q. Was it impossible for the Pegasus mail interface
`
`in the 2003 time frame to sort by sender?
`
` A. I think there's a screen shot of Pegasus mail
`
`that we had.
`
` Q. You might be thinking of the screen shot on
`
`Page 64 of Exhibit 1110.
`
` A. I was actually thinking of the next screen shot
`
`on Page 65. But I think, I think if your question is
`
`could it have had that capability, it could have had
`
`that capability.
`
` Q. Okay.
`
` A. I don't have something to point to off the top
`
`of my head right now, but I think it could have had that
`
`capability.

`
` Q. Understood. Thank you. I'd like to turn to
`
`Abiko, this is Exhibit 1109.
`
` A. Okay.
`
` Q. And in particular I had a few questions about
`
`the example Abiko discusses in Paragraph 107 and
`
`continuing on through Paragraph 115.
`
` A. Okay. Do you want me to read it now or do you
`
`want to ask me your question first?
`
` Q. I'll ask you a question first and then certainly
`
`read any of these paragraphs that are helpful. In
`
`Paragraph 107, Abiko indicates that, "Figure 9, the flow
`
`chart showing an example of the sequence of processing
`
`steps used for acquiring sender address information from
`
`received messages and entering information in the sender
`
`table sorted by mail volume, in the order of mail volume
`
`starting with the sender from whom the most messages
`
`were received," and then it continues on. And later in
`
`that paragraph Abiko explains that, "The following
`
`explanation is made on the assumption that all mail
`
`messages received by mobile telephone have been stored
`
`in the memory unit 3," do you see that?
`
` A. Yes. And I think that sentence continues on,
`
`but yes, I see what you read.
`
` Q. And that, what does Abiko mean by that last
`
`phrase I recited when Abiko explains that the following
`
`1
`

`
`
`
`Page 25
`
`explanation is made on the assumption that, "All mail
`
`messages received by mobile telephone have been stored
`
`in the memory unit"?
`
` A. In other parts of Abiko, Abiko makes it clear
`
`that all messages do not have to be used in the system
`
`of Abiko. And Abiko makes it clear talking about things
`
`like prescribed conditions and things like that that I
`
`discussed previously.
`
` And so all he's saying here is that given that
`
`Abiko has talked about using all messages and using a
`
`subset of those messages, for example, meeting a
`
`prescribing condition, all he seems to be saying here is
`
`that the Figure 9 flow chart and the associated
`
`discussion here is simply talking about the situation or
`
`the embodiment where all messages received by the mobile
`
`phone are being used to go through the flow chart of
`
`Figure 9.
`
` Q. Understood. And so in some instances just
`
`depending on the state of the device and what messages
`
`that are on the device, there could be instances when a
`
`user has not read any messages and all messages stored
`
`on the device are unread messages, is that correct?
`
` A. Let me kind of rephrase the question and you
`
`answer, you tell me whether I understood your question
`
`correctly. So are you saying that there could be a
`

`
`situation where all mail are unread mail, and so if
`
`that's your question then yes, I agree that there could
`
`be situations where all mail are all unread mail.
`
` Q. And similarly there could be instances if a user
`
`has read some messages and not others that in that
`
