` CROSS-EXAMINATION 09:19:50
`
` 09:19:50
`
`BY MR. MELEHANI: 09:19:50
`
` Q. All right. Thank you, Mr. Chong, for taking 09:19:51
`
`the time to talk to us today. I'm going to start off 09:19:53
`
`with a few general questions on your background. 09:19:56
`
` And so I guess let's start with, what is it 09:20:01
`
`that you do for a living? 09:20:04

`
` A. Currently, I'm retired. 09:20:07
`
` Q. Okay. And so are you completely retired 09:20:12
`
`doing -- doing nothing as far as work? Or do you 09:20:14
`
`have any continued, kind of a, you know, employment? 09:20:17
`
` A. I have a consulting arm of what I used to 09:20:22
`
`do. And, other than that, they're all personal 09:20:31
`
`projects. 09:20:38
`
` Q. Okay. Can you tell me a little bit about 09:20:38
`
`this consulting that you -- relating to what you used 09:20:42
`
`to do? 09:20:47
`
` A. Well, in Hawaii, I worked with high tech 09:20:47
`
`companies that do research in Hawaii. And part of 09:20:54
`
`what I used to do was to handle their patenting work, 09:21:05
`
`but since I no longer do that, I consult on -- on 09:21:11
`
`business strategies involving IP. 09:21:17
`
` Q. Okay. When about did you retire? 09:21:22
`
` A. At the end of 2016. 09:21:27
`
` Q. And prior to 2016, you were working as a 09:21:29
`
`lawyer? 09:21:34
`
` A. Yes. 09:21:35
`
` Q. And is it right that your practice consisted 09:21:41
`
`primarily of patent prosecution? 09:21:44
`
` A. Correct. 09:21:45
`
` Q. And how long did you have a legal practice 09:21:46
`
`that consisted primarily of patent prosecution? 09:21:51

`

`
` A. 43 years. 09:21:55
`
` Q. And how long were you a lawyer? 09:21:56
`
` A. Well, about 45 years. 09:22:06
`
` Q. Okay. So by my math, there were two years 09:22:12
`
`where you had a practice that didn't consist 09:22:15
`
`primarily of patent prosecution. Is that right? 09:22:17
`
` A. Yes. 09:22:17
`
` Q. How would you describe your practice during 09:22:21
`
`those two years? 09:22:25
`
` A. It was more or less winding down docket 09:22:29
`
`maintenance, fee renewals. Just housekeeping for 09:22:36
`
`former clients. 09:22:46
`
` Q. And were those tasks related to their patent 09:22:49
`
`portfolios? 09:22:54
`
` A. Yes. 09:22:54
`
` Q. Okay. Have you ever served as litigation 09:22:57
`
`counsel for a client? 09:23:02
`
` A. No. 09:23:04
`
` Q. Now, I know you were deposed recently in 09:23:04
`
`connection with the related matter involving DISH and 09:23:13
`
`BBiTV. But setting aside that deposition, have you 09:23:19
`
`ever been deposed before? 09:23:24
`
` A. I -- I don't really recall any times that I 09:23:30
`
`was deposed, other than that one that you mentioned. 09:23:34
`
` Q. Okay. So is it your recollection that the 09:23:42

`
`25
`
`deposition that you gave in connection with the DISH 09:23:46
`
`case was the first time you were deposed? 09:23:50
`
` A. It's the only one I remember. 09:23:54
`
` Q. Okay. I just want to be clear. Are you 09:24:03
`
`suggesting that it's possible you'd been deposed 09:24:05
`
`prior to that and you just don't recall? Or is it 09:24:07
`
`just that you think that is in fact the only time 09:24:09
`
`you've been deposed? 09:24:14
`
` A. I might have been deposed in connection with 09:24:15
`
`a personal matter, divorce proceeding, but I don't 09:24:17
`
`recall the exact circumstance. It could have been a 09:24:21
`
`settlement conference. I -- I don't recall. 09:24:25
`
` Q. Understood. So, as you know, you've 09:24:28
`
`submitted a declaration on behalf of BBiTV in 09:24:36
`
`connection with this IPR proceeding. 09:24:40
`
` Well, is that -- is that your understanding? 09:24:42
`
` A. Yes. 09:24:45
`
` Q. Have you ever submitted a declaration on 09:24:45
`
`behalf of a patent prosecution client before? 09:24:49
`
` A. I don't recall any instances. 09:24:59
`
` Q. Okay. Have you ever been involved in any 09:25:06
`
`IPR proceedings before this one? 09:25:09
`
` A. I don't think so. 09:25:19
`
` Q. And let me just be more clear because I 09:25:21
`
`think I -- there's a little bit of ambiguity there, 09:25:25

`

`
`so let me back up a second. 09:25:28
`
` In your practice, when you were a practicing 09:25:31
`
`patent prosecution attorney, did you ever get 09:25:37
`
`involved in IPR proceedings as counsel? 09:25:43
`
` A. As counsel, no. 09:25:51
`
` Q. Okay. Are you familiar with covered 09:25:54
`
`business method review proceedings and post-grant 09:25:56
`
`review proceedings? 09:26:00
`
` A. Vaguely. 09:26:01
`
` Q. Did you ever -- 09:26:02
`
` A. These are all developments toward the end of 09:26:03
`
`my active practice. 09:26:06
`
` Q. And did you ever have any involvement with 09:26:07
`
`those types of proceedings as counsel? 09:26:11
`
` A. Not as counsel. 09:26:13
`
` Q. Did you ever have involvement with those 09:26:16
`
`types of proceedings in a capacity other than 09:26:19
`
`counsel? 09:26:21
`
` A. That's what I can't remember. I might have 09:26:23
`
`had some involvement with research or advising the 09:26:28
`
`client. But I don't recall ever being counsel of 09:26:36
`
`record in an IPR proceeding. 09:26:43
`
` Q. Are you familiar with ex parte reexamination 09:26:46
`
`proceedings? 09:26:50
`
` A. Only by name. 09:26:54

`
` Let's talk for a second about the deposition 09:27:13
`
`you gave in connection with the other matter 09:27:23
`
`involving DISH and BBiTV, the litigation. 09:27:27
`
` Do you recall giving a deposition in that 09:27:30
`
`case? 09:27:32
`
` A. Yes. 09:27:32
`
` Q. Okay. And that was -- according to my 09:27:34
`
`records, that was on June 17th. Is that correct? 09:27:37
`
` A. Correct. 09:27:41
`
` Q. And do you recall being sworn in prior to 09:27:42
`
`that deposition? 09:27:47
`
` A. Yes. 09:27:47
`
` Q. And do you recall providing testimony under 09:27:51
`
`oath in that deposition? 09:27:53
`
` A. Yes. 09:27:53
`
` Q. And did you provide truthful testimony 09:27:57
`
`during that deposition? 09:28:00
`
` A. To my understanding, yes. 09:28:02
`
` Q. Did you have a chance to review a transcript 09:28:03
`
`of your testimony following that deposition? 09:28:07
`
` A. Yes, I did. 09:28:11

`
`transcript of your June 17th deposition testimony? 09:28:15
`
` A. Yes. 09:28:15
`
` Q. And did you provide an errata in connection 09:28:21
`
`with that June 17th transcript? 09:28:24
`
` A. Yes. 09:28:24
`
` Q. Okay. Now, following your review of the 09:28:28
`
`testimony you gave on June 17th, did you notice any 09:28:32
`
`testimony that you would not stand by today? 09:28:37
`
` A. No. I think there were some issues with how 09:28:47
`
`questions were phrased, and my answer might have been 09:28:51
`
`based upon an interpretation of how the question was 09:28:58
`
`phrased, but I -- I stand by what was said in that 09:29:03
`
`record. 09:29:10
`
` Q. Okay. And did you flag the issues that you 09:29:12
`
`were just mentioning in your errata that you 09:29:15
`
`provided? 09:29:18
`
` A. No. It's just a recollection that there was 09:29:22
`
`some discussion on the record about the source of 09:29:26
`
`documents that were produced and used as exhibits and 09:29:31
`
`interpretation of the meaning of certain phrases. 09:29:40
`
` Q. Okay. But just to be clear, based on your 09:29:46
`
`prior answer, you still stand by the testimony you 09:29:49
`
`offered in your June 17th depo as true and correct 09:29:52
`
`testimony? 09:29:56

`
`Broadband iTV. What's your relationship with 09:30:07
`
`Broadband iTV? 09:30:10
`
` A. Currently, their status as far as my 09:30:15
`
`involvement is as a former client. 09:30:20
`
` Q. Okay. I just habitually refer to them as 09:30:25
`
`"BBiTV." Would you mind if I call them "BBiTV"? 09:30:29
`
`Would you understand that I'm referring to 09:30:32
`
`Broadband iTV? 09:30:35
`
` A. Yes, I use that phrase myself. 09:30:35
`
` Q. Okay. Good. Are you currently in any way 09:30:37
`
`contractually related or affiliated with BBiTV? 09:30:48
`
` A. Not to my understanding. 09:30:54
`
` Q. Are you being compensated by BBiTV for your 09:30:56
`
`participation in this proceeding? 09:31:01
`
` A. No. 09:31:07
`
` Q. Are you being compensated by BBiTV, period? 09:31:07
`
` A. No. 09:31:15
`
` Q. Okay. I guess "question mark." 09:31:15
`
` Okay. So how did you first encounter BBiTV? 09:31:20
`
` A. I don't really recall the circumstances. 09:31:31
`
` Q. When did you first encounter BBiTV? 09:31:34
`
` A. Sometime in 2003, I had an exchange of email 09:31:41
`
`with Cliff Kagawa who was the CEO of BBiTV and was 09:31:50

`
` Q. Okay. And what was the reason you were 09:32:08
`
`retained? 09:32:17
`
` A. To file patent applications on any 09:32:23
`
`inventions that they have -- that they had an 09:32:25
`

`
` Q. Do you recall when you first met Milton Diaz 09:32:34
`

`
` A. I don't recall the specific instance, but it 09:32:44
`
`was sometime in late 2003. 09:32:47
`
` Q. And I know that you worked on patent 09:32:53
`
`applications that list Milton Diaz Perez as the 09:33:00
`
`inventor for BBiTV. 09:33:05
`
` Did you work on any other matters for BBiTV 09:33:06
`
`aside from patent applications invented by Milton 09:33:11
`
`Diaz Perez? 09:33:16
`
` A. I think we filed a trademark registration 09:33:17
`
`application. I don't -- 09:33:25

`
` A. -- know. Other than that, it was all patent 09:33:27
`
`work. 09:33:29
`
` Q. And just to be clear, were all of the 09:33:29
`
`patents -- well, let me -- let me ask it a different 09:33:36

`way. Strike that. 09:33:41

`
`for BBiTV sort of related to the initial application 09:33:48
`
`that you prepared for BBiTV? 09:33:56
`
` A. Yes. 09:34:00
`
` Q. Okay. Now you offered a declaration in this 09:34:02
`
`case or in this IPR proceeding, as we mentioned. 09:34:12
`
` Is that right? 09:34:12
`
` A. Correct. 09:34:16
`
` Q. What did you understand to be the purpose of 09:34:17
`
`the declaration that you offered in this proceeding? 09:34:19
`
` A. I was recounting the circumstances of 09:34:25
`
`preparing and filing the P- -- the so-called P1 09:34:33
`
`patent application. 09:34:42
`
` Q. I'm not looking for privileged information 09:34:46
`
`here, but do you have an independent understanding as 09:34:50
`
`to why that's relevant? 09:34:53
`
` A. I believe -- or my understanding is that the 09:35:01
`
`defendants are asserting a lack of diligence in 09:35:06
`
`filing so as to be antedated by a prior art 09:35:14
`
`reference. 09:35:25
`
` Q. And by "defendants," you're referring to 09:35:26
`
`DISH? 09:35:29
`
` A. Yes. 09:35:29
`
` Q. When were you first contacted about the 09:35:38
`
`declaration, or the plan to submit a declaration? 09:35:44
`
`And, again, I'm not looking for details, just kind of 09:35:49

`
` Q. Do you recall who it was that contacted you 09:36:12
`
`about this? 09:36:18
`

`
`Milton Diaz Perez saying that I would be asked to 09:36:29
`
`provide a declaration of the circumstances of the P1 09:36:35
`

`
` MR. LIM: Actually, Mr. Chong, you don't -- 09:36:49
`
`you don't have to disclose the details of the 09:36:51
`
`communication with -- with Mr. Diaz. I think you've 09:36:53
`
`answered the question. I think he's not asking for 09:36:56
`
`anymore detail other than the timing to the best of 09:36:59
`
`your recollection. I just wanted to -- 09:37:01
`
` THE WITNESS: Okay. 09:37:01
`
` MR. LIM: -- caution you not to reveal any 09:37:03
`
`privileged information. 09:37:05
`
` MR. MELEHANI: Well, I don't see how that 09:37:07
`
`could be privileged, given that he's not a lawyer -- 09:37:10
`
`or that Mr. Perez isn't a lawyer. 09:37:14

`
` A. No. 09:37:38

`
` Did you prepare the first draft of your 09:38:38

`
` Q. Okay. And did you make any changes? 09:39:01

` A. Yes. 09:39:01
`
` Q. Okay. And what -- what changes did make to 09:39:03
`
`the declaration? 09:39:06
`
` A. Some of the exhibits didn't correspond to 09:39:08
`
`the statements, and so there were some that had to be 09:39:13
`
`corrected. 09:39:18
`
` Q. So just to make sure I understand what 09:39:19
`
`you're saying, are you saying that the draft you were 09:39:25
`
`provided with had some kind of technical errors with 09:39:27
`
`exhibit numbering that needed to be fixed? 09:39:32
`
` A. Yes, there were a lot of typos. 09:39:34

`
`renumbering fixes, did you make any other changes to 09:39:42

`

`

`
` A. There were -- 09:39:59

`

`
`25
`
`statements made in the declaration? 09:40:20
`

`

`

`

`
` Q. Approximately how long -- or how long was 09:40:57
`
`the duration of time that passed between when you 09:41:01
`
`first received a draft of the declaration and when 09:41:05
`
`you signed the declaration? 09:41:08
`
` A. It might have been a week or two. I don't 09:41:12
`
`recall. 09:41:14
`
` Q. So is it the case that you received a 09:41:15
`
`declaration, you identified some changes, and then 09:41:20
`
`you sent those back and then were later provided with 09:41:23
`
`a revised version of the declaration? 09:41:27
`
` A. Yes, that's pretty much the flow. 09:41:29
`
` Q. And when you received that revised version 09:41:31
`
`of the declaration, did you have any further changes? 09:41:36
`
` A. I think there was one exhibit that was still 09:41:39
`
`out of place, as far as I could tell. 09:41:43
`
` Q. And so did you identify that and get -- and 09:41:53
`
`that error was corrected? 09:41:56
