`
`
`1. My name is John Villasenor. I previously submitted a declaration in
`
`the above-captioned inter partes review (“IPR”) proceeding challenging U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,023,580 (“the ’580 Patent”), and my background and qualifications are
`
`described therein. EX1002 at 2-6. Additionally, my curriculum vitae is available in
`
`EX1055.
`
`2.
`
`In its Background section, the ’580 Patent states:
`
`In existing data communications systems, a transmitter and receiver
`modem pair can successfully communicate only when the modems are
`compatible at the physical layer. That is, the modems must use
`compatible modulation methods. This requirement is generally true
`regardless of the network topology. For example, point-to-point, dial-
`up modems operate in either the industry standard V.34 mode or the
`industry standard V.22 mode. Similarly, in a multipoint architecture, all
`modems operate, for example, in the industry standard V.27bis mode.
`
`EX1001 at 1:27-36. This section references three “industry standard[s],” V.22,
`
`V.34, and V.27bis. These references relate to recommendations promulgated by the
`
`Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication
`
`Union (“ITU”), which can be obtained from the ITU’s website.
`
`3.
`
`The Patent’s reference to “industry standard V.22 mode” refers to the
`
`ITU recommendation available for download from https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-
`
`V.22-198811-I. EX1056. EX1057 appears to be a version of the V.22
`
`recommendation available at the time the priority application to the ’580 Patent was
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`filed, as it bears a 1993 copyright date. EX1057 at electronic page 2.
`
`4.
`
`The Patent’s reference to “industry standard V.34 mode” refers to the
`
`ITU recommendation available for download from https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-
`
`V.34-199409-S. EX1058. EX1059 appears to be a version of the V.34
`
`recommendation available at the time the priority application to the ’580 Patent was
`
`filed, as it bears a 1994 copyright date. EX1059 at i.
`
`5.
`
`The Patent’s reference to “industry standard V.27bis mode” refers to
`
`the ITU recommendation available for download from https://www.itu.int/rec/T-
`
`REC-V.27bis-198811-I. EX1060. EX1061 appears to be a version of the V.27bis
`
`recommendation available at the time the priority application to the ’580 Patent was
`
`filed, as it bears a 1993 copyright date. EX1061 at electronic page 2.
`
`6.
`
`ITU Recommendations V.22, V.27bis, and V.34 are individual portions
`
`of a larger collection of ITU publications concerning “Data Communication Over
`
`the Telephone Network” that is collectively referred to as “ITU V-Series
`
`Recommendations.” See EX1057 at electronic page 1, EX1059 at electronic pages 1
`
`and 2, EX1061 at electronic page 1.
`
`7.
`
`Each V-Series recommendation is not intended to stand alone, but
`
`rather is to be viewed in the context of the other V-Series recommendations, where
`
`each recommendation concerns a subpart of the entire V-Series. For example, the
`
`portion of the V-Series recommendations that contains recommendations pertaining
`
`
`
`
`- 3 -
`
`Page 3 of 5
`
`
`
`to V.22, V.27bis, and V.34 is described as concerning “Interfaces and voiceband
`
`modems.” EX1059 at electronic page 2. Other portions of the V-Series specification
`
`concern other aspects of data communication related to the telephone network. For
`
`example,
`
`the portion of
`
`the V-Series designated V.100–V.199 concerns
`
`“Interworking with other networks.” Id.
`
`8.
`
`One
`
`recommendation
`
`from
`
`this portion of
`
`the V-Series
`
`recommendations is V.110, which concerns “Support by an ISDN of data terminal
`
`equipments with V-series type interfaces;” V.110 is available for download from
`
`https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-V.110-199209-S. EX1062. EX1063 appears to be a
`
`version of the V.110 recommendation available at the time the priority application
`
`to the ’580 Patent was filed, as it bears a copyright date of 1993. EX1063 at i.
`
`9.
`
`Another recommendation from the “Interworking with other networks”
`
`portion of the V-Series recommendations is V.120, which concerns “Support by an
`
`ISDN of data terminal equipment with V-series type interfaces with provision for
`
`statistical multiplexing;” V.120
`
`is
`
`available
`
`for
`
`download
`
`from
`
`https://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-V.120-199209-S. EX1064. EX1065 appears to be a
`
`version of the V.120 recommendation available at the time the priority application
`
`to the ’580 Patent was filed, as it bears a copyright date of 1993. EX1065 at i.
`
`10.
`
`I accessed each of the exhibits referenced herein online on July 22 and
`
`23, 2020.
