`
`II.
`
`EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
`
`6.
`
`I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from the University of
`
`Nevada, Reno in 1995 and a Master of Library Science degree from Emporia State
`
`University in 2000.
`
`I received a doctoral degree in Library and Information
`
`Management from Emporia State University in 2008.
`
`I have been a professional
`
`librarian for more than 17 years, and I am recognized as a leading authority in
`
`library cataloging and information management, both as a professor and as a
`
`practitioner.
`
`7.
`
`I am a longstanding member of state, regional, and national
`
`professional organizations.
`
`I am a member of the American Library Association
`
`(“ALA”), and its Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
`
`(“ALCTS”), Library Research Round Table (“LRRT”), and Competencies and
`
`Education for a Career in Cataloging Interest Group. I served as the Co-Chair of
`
`the ALA ALCTS Cataloging and Metadata Management Section, Research and
`
`Publications Committee from 2017 to present, and the Co-Chair of the
`
`Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging Interest Group from 2018
`
`3
`
`

`

`to present. I am also a member of the Association for Information Science and
`
`Technology (“ASIS&T”), the Association for Library and Information Science
`
`Education (“ALISE”), the International Society for Knowledge Organization
`
`(“ISKO”), and the Texas Library Association (“TLA”).
`
`I served as the Chair of
`
`the Cataloging and Metadata Round Table of the Texas Library Association
`
`between 2011 and 2012.
`
`I have also served as a peer reviewer and subject matter
`
`expert for several publications within the library and information science field,
`
`including Competency Indexfor the Library Field, Journal ofLibrary Metadata,
`
`and Cataloging & Classification Quarterly.
`
`8.
`
`I have given numerous presentations in the field of library cataloging
`
`and information management, including presentations on the topics of library
`
`cataloging and classification systems, bibliographic control, cataloging ethics, and
`
`metadata.
`
`I have also conducted numerous field-based research studies, and
`
`published numerous book chapters and articles. In addition, I currently have a
`
`textbook in press that focuses on the theory and practice of organizing library
`
`collections. It is scheduled to be published in fall 2019.
`
`9.
`
`Additional details concerning my professional qualifications,
`
`experience, and publications are set forth in my current curriculum vitae, attached
`
`as Appendix A.
`
`

`

`III. LEGAL STANDARDS
`
`10.
`
`I am not an attorney and have not been asked to offer my opinion on
`
`the law. As an expert offering an opinion on whether documents qualify as printed
`
`publications, however, I understand that I am obliged to follow existing law. For
`
`the purposes of this Declaration, I have been informed about certain aspects of the
`
`law that are relevant to my opinions. My understanding of the law is summarized
`
`below.
`
`11.
`
`I have been informed and understand that under 35 U.S.C. § 102,
`
`certain materials may qualify as prior art in proceedings before the PTAB when
`
`that material constitutes a “printed publication.” I understand that to qualify as a
`
`printed publication, the material in question must be sufficiently accessible to the
`
`public interested in the art. In turn, material is sufficiently accessible if it was
`
`disseminated or otherwise made available to the extent that persons interested and
`
`ordinarily skilled in the subject matter or art exercising reasonable diligence, can
`
`locate it.
`
`I further understand that accessibility goes to the issue of whether
`
`interested members of the relevant public could obtain the information if they
`
`wanted to, and not whether any particular member of the public actually retrieved
`
`the material.
`
`12.
`
`I understand that one way to demonstrate public accessibility is to
`
`show competent evidence of general library practices that indicate an approximate
`
`5
`
`

`

`date on which the material in question became publicly accessible. For example, I
`
`understand that cataloging or indexing material in a library can show the material
`
`was sufficiently accessible to those interested in the art.
`
`I also understand that this
`
`is not the only way to prove public accessibility. Among other ways, public
`
`accessibility can be proven by the copyright date of the material in question or by
`
`citations to the material in question that are contained in other materials.
`
`13.
`
`I have been informed and understand that a “person of ordinary skill
`
`in the art at the time of the inventions” is a hypothetical person who is presumed to
`
`be familiar with the relevant field and its literature at the time of the inventions and
`
`would be part of the public interested in the art. This hypothetical person is also a
`
`person of ordinary creativity, capable of understanding the scientific principles
`
`applicable to the pertinent field.
`
`14.
`
`I have been informed and understand that a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art at the time of the alleged invention included someone with at least a
`
`Bachelor of Science or equivalent degree in electrical engineering or materials
`
`science (or equivalent experience), and two years of graduate work, work
`
`experience, or the equivalent with integrated circuit processing, manufacturing,
`
`and structures.
`
`

`

`IV.
`
`LIBRARY CATALOGING
`
`15.
`
`OCLC is a worldwide library cooperative that is owned and governed
`
`by its participating members, and one of its goals is to establish, maintain, and
`
`operate a computerized library network. Over 23,000 libraries, archives, and
`
`museums in over 170 countries (including many libraries in the United States) are
`
`members of OCLC.
`
`16. When an OCLC participating institution acquires a work, a cataloger
`
`creates a bibliographic record for this work using the Machine Readable
`
`Cataloging (“MARC”) format in its computer catalog system and OCLC
`
`automatically supplies the date of creation. The MARC format is an industry-wide
`
`standard method of encoding, storing, and organizing library catalog information.
`
`MARC is the primary communications protocol for the transfer and storage of
`
`bibliographic metadata in libraries.
`
`17.
`
`The creation date of a bibliographic record encoded in the MARC
`
`format reflects the date on or shortly after the item was first acquired and
`
`cataloged. Once the bibliographic record is created by a cataloger at an OCLC
`
`participating member institution, it is instantaneously available to any OCLC
`
`participating members, and therefore available to the public. The general public
`
`has free online access to records created by OCLC member libraries in OCLC’s
`
`WorldCat database.
`
`

`

`18.
`
`A bibliographic record encoded in the MARC format includes several
`
`fields that contain specific data about the work. For example, a work’s title is
`
`recorded in field 245. If a work is a part of a series, then the series information is
`
`recorded in fields 490 and 830. An individual determined to be the primary creator
`
`of a work appears in field 100; secondary creators and other contributors appear in
`
`field 700. If a corporate body is determined to be responsible for creating the
`
`intellectual content of a work in lieu of one or more individuals, then its name
`
`appears in field 110 (when a creator) or field 710 (when a contributor). Notes are
`
`added in SXX fields. The library that creates a bibliographic record on OCLC is
`
`recorded in the first position of field 040 with a unique library code. Field 008
`
`records, among other things, the date a bibliographic record was created. Field 005
`
`records the date a bibliographic record was last updated.
`
`19.
`
`In addition to the creation of MARC bibliographic records, of interest
`
`to this Declaration is the cataloging of theses and dissertations in academic
`
`libraries. Academic libraries serve institutions of higher education such as
`
`universities, colleges, or community colleges. Most academic libraries catalog
`
`master’s theses and doctoral dissertations produced by students seeking master’s
`
`and doctoral degrees at the particular institution of higher education. Bibliographic
`
`records for theses and dissertations are located in a library’s online catalog. Newer
`
`theses and dissertations also may be included in a digital online collection of
`8
`
`

`

`materials produced by students, faculty, and staff of an institution. Information
`
`added to bibliographic records for theses and dissertations usually includes
`
`descriptive cataloging only, which consists of objective elements, such as title,
`
`author, date, degree, page numbers, and so on. Subject indexing is not commonly
`
`performed for theses and dissertations, and bibliographic records do not usually
`
`include subject headings or classification numbers based on subject. This is
`
`because theses and dissertations tend to produce new knowledge, and the subjects
`
`can be incredibly specific. There may be no subject headings that exist in standard
`
`subject headings lists used by libraries, such as the Library of Congress Subject
`
`Headings. Adding subject headings and Classification numbers based on subject
`
`would be incredibly time-consuming and expensive for libraries, so most libraries
`
`do not add them to bibliographic records for theses and dissertations. Call numbers
`
`added to theses and dissertations are usually homegrown classification schemes
`
`used for shelving purposes only.
`
`20.
`
`Yet, although subject headings and classification numbers based on
`
`subject are not added to bibliographic records for theses and dissertations, library
`
`users are able to search for these items using other access points, such as names
`
`and titles. Bibliographic records are indexed in several ways in library catalogs, not
`
`just by subject. Names are indexed so users may perform keyword searches or
`
`direct searches for names, such as authors. Titles are indexed so users may perform
`9
`
`

`

`keyword searches or direct searches for titles. Searching for titles can be especially
`
`helpful because titles for theses and dissertations tend to be very descriptive and
`
`very distinctive, usually providing a concise description of the subject matter.
`
`Library users may be able to search library catalogs using subject keywords and to
`
`find bibliographic records for theses and dissertations.

`
`SAGAR VIDYA REDDY= DIGITAL DESIGN FLOW OPTIONS gEX.
`1104!
`
`21.
`
`I understand that Intel’s Petition relies on Ex. 1104—a master’s
`
`degree thesis titled, Digital Design Flow Options—as a prior art publication in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`22.
`
`Based on my review of Ex. 1104, it appears to be a master’s degree
`
`thesis titled, Digital Design Flow Options, written by Sagar Vidya Reddy
`
`(hereafter “Reddy Thesis”). 1 note that the cover of the Reddy Thesis indicates that
`
`it was presented in partial fiilfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of
`
`Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University, dated 2001. EX.
`
`1104 is a true and correct copy of the thesis, including the title page, table of
`
`contents, and full text, made from a print copy obtained from The Ohio State
`
`University Library. The thesis title page shows a date of 2001. I received a copy of
`
`this thesis from The Ohio State University Library. Based on my review of Ex.
`
`10
`
`

`

`1104, I note that the text appears to be complete; no pages are missing, and the text
`
`on each page appears to flow seamlessly from one page to the next; further, there
`
`appears to be no visible alterations to the document. Ex. 1104 was found within
`
`the custody of the custodian to whom the author granted permission to make copies
`
`and reproductions. In my opinion, Ex. 1104 is a true and correct copy in a
`
`condition that creates no suspicion about its authenticity
`
`23. Attached hereto as Attachment A is a true and correct copy of the
`
`MARC bibliographic record for the Reddy Thesis from The Ohio State University
`
`Library. The bibliographic identifiers, such as title (245), author (245), date (260),
`
`page numbers (300), and degree information (502), match Ex. 1104, therefore
`
`confirming that the bibliographic record corresponds to the thesis in Ex. 1104. The
`
`catalog record indicates that a print copy of the thesis is located in the Library’s
`
`Depository, which according to the Library’s website is an off-campus storage
`
`facility. In addition, a copy on microfiche is available in the Thompson Library, as
`
`indicated in field 590 and the location information. The Attachment indicates that
`
`the Reddy Thesis as cataloged at The Ohio State University Library is held by that
`
`11
`
`

`

`institution. In addition, the Reddy Thesis is also available from the CiteSeerX
`
`website.‘
`
`24. Attached hereto as Attachment B is a true and correct copy of the
`
`MARC bibliographic record for the master’s degree thesis, Digital Design Flow
`
`Options, by Reddy that I obtained from the OCLC bibliographic database. These
`
`bibliographic identifiers, such as title (245), author (245), date (264), page numbers
`
`(300), and degree information (502), match EX. 1104, therefore confirming that the
`
`bibliographic record corresponds to the thesis in EX. 1104. As previously noted, the
`
`library that created the record is recorded at the beginning of field 040 with a
`
`unique library code. For Attachment B, that library code is “OSU,” which means
`
`the MARC bibliographic record for this thesis was created by The Ohio State
`
`University Library. As can be seen in the “Entered” field in the MARC
`
`bibliographic record for this attachment, a cataloger at The Ohio State University
`
`Library created OCLC record number 49588115 on April 15, 2002.
`
`25. Attachment A confirms this date. Field 008 on the bibliographic
`
`record from The Ohio State University Library catalog shows that the
`
`bibliographic record was created on April 15, 2002. Field 005 indicates the date the
`
`I h
`
`
`pe=pdf.

`tt
`
`://citesecrx.ist. su.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=l0.1.1.536.7303&re =re 1& ,
`
`
`12
`
`

`

`bibliographic record was last updated, which is April 15, 2002. Therefore, in view
`
`of above, this thesis was publicly available no later than April 15, 2002, because by
`
`that date it had been received and cataloged at The Ohio State University Library
`
`and made part of the OCLC bibliographic database. For these reasons, it is my
`
`opinion that Ex. 1104 was published and accessible to the public no later than
`
`April 15, 2002.
`
`26. My opinion concerning EX. 1104 is further substantiated by citations
`
`in a dissertation produced in 2004. It cites Ex. 1104, demonstrating that it was
`
`publicly available to interested persons as of its cataloging date. Attached hereto
`
`as Attachment C is what appears to be a dissertation titled “Estudo do Fluxo de
`
`Projeto de Circuitos Integrados Digitais de Aplicacao Especifica (ASICS)
`
`Aplicado a um CI Monitor de Velocidade”, written by Wellington Romeiro De
`
`Melo, and dated June 18, 2004 (hereafter “Melo Dissertation”). An English-
`
`language translation of the title page of the dissertation is located in Attachment D.
`
`The Melo Dissertation includes the following references to Ex. 1104 on pages 106
`
`and 107 of Attachment C:

`8. REDDY. S. V. Digital Design Flow Options. The Ohio State University. 2001.

`
`

`

`There are also several in-text citations to the Reddy Thesis, which I will include in
`
`this Declaration. Certified translations of these passages are included in
`
`Attachment D. The Reddy Thesis is included as reference number 8, which is cited
`
`in the Melo Dissertation text on page 8 of the Attachment:

`
`The above citations include the same bibliographic identifiers, including title,
`
`author, date, and university as EX. 1104, which confirm that these citations
`
`correspond to Ex. 1104. The in-text citations show that the Melo Dissertation
`
`referred to the Reddy Thesis four times.
`
`27.
`
`To determine when the Melo Dissertation would have been made
`
`available to the public, I looked for the bibliographic record on the library catalog
`
`of the Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Attached hereto as Attachment E is a
`
`true and correct copy of the MARC bibliographic record for the Melo Dissertation,
`
`taken from the online catalog of the Universidade Estadual de Campinas Library,
`
`which is called the “Sistema de Bibliotecas da Unicamp”, translated as the
`
`Unicamp Library System. Field 008 on the bibliographic record shows the record
`
`was created on September 30, 2004, which is the date the Melo Dissertation would
`
`have been cataloged and made available to the public.
`
`28. Accordingly, it is my opinion that Attachments C, D, and E support
`
`my conclusion that EX. 1104 was accessible to the public no later than April 15,
`
`15
`
`

`

`2002 as described with reference to the MARC bibliographic records discussed
`
`above.
`
`29.
`
`Based on my review of Ex. 1104, my review of the bibliographic
`
`record in the OCLC bibliographic database, The Ohio State University Library
`
`online catalog, and my review of a citing publication as well as my experience in
`
`library cataloging, it is my opinion that Ex. 1104 is a master’s thesis that was
`
`publicly accessible at least as early as April 15, 2002.
`
`30.
`
`In signing this Declaration, I recognize that the Declaration will be
`
`filed as evidence in a case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United
`
`States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`I also recognize that I may be subject to
`
`cross-examination in the case and that cross-examination will take place within the
`
`United States. If cross-examination is required of me, I will appear for cross-
`
`examination within the United States during the time allotted for cross-
`
`examination.
