`
`[ have written this declaration at the request ofthe Petitioners to
`
`provide my expert opinion regarding the authenticity and public availability of the
`
`publication identified in Section V below. My declaration sets forth my opinions in
`
`detail and providesthe basis for my opinions regarding the authenticity and public
`
`availability ofthis publication.If called to testify in the above-captioned matter, |
`
`will testify with regard to the opinions andbases set forth below.

`
`Asof the preparation and signing ofthis declaration,libraries across
`
`the nation are closed pursuantto an order ofthe federal andstate governments due
`
`to the COVID-19 virus. However, were the libraries open, I would expect to be
`
`able to obtain paper copies of the documentsin this declaration. Additionally, it is

`
`myopinions. | reserve the right to supplement my declaration whenthelibraries
`
`reopen to provide such information. Libraries are not fully open; therefore, getting
`
`materials remains a challenge. The bookin this proceedingis available from the

`
`PRELIMINARIES
`
`A.
`
`12.
`
`Scope of Declaration and Legal Standards
`
`[am not an attorney and will not offer opinions on the law. I am,
`
`however, rendering my expert opinion on the authenticity of the documents
`
`referenced herein and on when and how each of these documents was disseminated
`
`or otherwise made available to the extent that persons interested and ordinarily
`
`skilled in the subject matter or art, exercising reasonable diligence, could have
`
`located the documentsbefore the dates discussed below with respect to the specific
`
`documents.
`
`13.
`
`Iam informed by counsel that a printed publication qualifies as
`
`publicly accessible as of the date it was disseminated or otherwise made available
`
`such that a person interested in and ordinarily skilled in the relevant subject matter
`
`couldlocateit through the exercise of ordinary diligence.
`
`14. While I understandthat the determination of public accessibility under
`
`the foregoing standard rests on a case-by-case analysis of the facts particular to an
`
`individual publication, I also understandthat a printed publication is rendered
`
`“publicly accessible”if it is cataloged and indexed by a library such that a person
`
`interested in the relevant subject matter could locateit (i.e., | understand that
`
`cataloging and indexingbya library is sufficient, though there are other waysthat
`
`-6-
`
`BMW1055
`Page 7 of 142
`
`BMW1055
`Page 7 of 142
`
`
`
`a printed publication may qualify as publicly accessible). One mannerofsufficient
`
`indexing is indexing according to subject matter category. I understand that the
`
`cataloging and indexing byasingle library of a single instance ofa particular
`
`printed publication is sufficient, even if the single library is in a foreign country.I
`
`understand that, even if access to a library is restricted, a printed publication that
`
`has been cataloged and indexed therein is publicly accessible so long as a
`
`presumption is raised that the portion of the public concerned with the relevant
`
`subject matter would know oftheprinted publication. I also understand that the
`
`cataloging and indexing of information that would guide a person interested in the
`
`relevant subject matter to the printed publication, such as the cataloging and
`
`indexing ofan abstract for the printed publication, is sufficient to render the
`
`printed publication publicly accessible.
`
`15.
`
`I understandthat routine business practices, such as general library
`
`cataloging and indexing practices, can be used to establish an approximate date on
`
`whicha printed publication becamepublicly accessible.
`
`B.
`
`16.
`
`Persons of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`I am told by counsel that the subject matter of this proceeding
`
`generally relates to relates to the control of hybrid vehicles.
`
`17.
`
`I have been informed by counselthat a “person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art at the timeof the invention” (POSITA)is a hypothetical person whois
`
`-7-

`
`BMW1055
`Page 8 of 142
`
`
`
`presumedto be familiar with the relevantfield and its literature at the time of the
`
`inventions. This hypothetical person is also a person ofordinary creativity, capable
`
`of understandingthe scientific principles applicable to the pertinent field.
`
`18.
`
`I have been informed that a POSAin the art of the ’761 patent would
`
`have either: (1) a graduate degree in mechanical, electrical or automotive
`
`engineering with at least some experience in the design and control of combustion
`
`engines,electric or hybrid electric vehicle propulsion systems, or design and
`
`control of automotive transmissions, or (2) a bachelor’s degree in mechanical,
`
`electrical or automotive engineering andat least five years of experience in the
`
`design of combustion engines, electric vehicle propulsion systems, or automotive
`
`transmissions. I have been further informed by counsel that a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art would have been familiar with and able to understand the
`
`information knownin the art relating to these fields, including the publications
`
`discussedin this declaration.
`
`Cc,
`
`Use of Authoritative Databases
`
`19.
`
`In preparing this report, I used authoritative databases, such as the
`
`OCLCbibliographic database and the Library of Congress Online Catalog,to
`
`confirm citation details of the publication discussed. Unless I note otherwise below
`
`in reference to a specific serial publication,it is my expert opinion thatthis
`
`standard protocol was followedfor the publications discussed in Section V below.

`
`Indexing. A researcher may discover material relevant to his or her
`
`topic in a variety of ways. One common meansofdiscovery is to search for
`
`relevant information in an index of periodical and other publications. Having found
`
`relevant material, the researcher will then normally obtain it online, look for it in
`
`libraries, or purchaseit from the publisher, a bookstore, a documentdelivery
`
`service, or other provider. Sometimes, the date of a document’s public accessibility
`
`will involve both indexing and library date information.
`
`21.
`
`Indexing services use a wide variety of controlled vocabularies to
`
`provide subject access and other meansof discovering the content of documents.
`
`The formats in which these access termsare presented vary from serviceto service.
`
`22. Online indexing services and digital repositories commonly provide
`
`bibliographic information, abstracts, and full-text copies of the indexed
`
`publications, along with a list of the documentscited in the indexed publication.
`
`These services also often provide lists of publicationsthat cite a given document.
`
`A citation of a documentis evidence that the document waspublicly available and
`
`in use by researchers nolater than the publication date of the citing document.
`
`23.
`
`Google Scholar. Google Scholar'is a freely accessible web search
`
`engine that indexesthe full text or metadata of scholarly literature across an array
`
`of publishing formats anddisciplines. Released in beta in November 2004, the

`
`
`Google Scholar index includes a significant number of peer-reviewed
`
`online academic journals, books, conference papers, selected theses and
`
`dissertations, preprints, abstracts, technical reports, and other scholarly
`
`literature. While Google does not publish the size of Google Scholar's database,
`
`scientometric researchers estimated it to contain roughly 389 million documents
`
`including articles, citations and patents makingit the world's largest academic
`
`search engine in January 2018.
`
`24.
`
`Because many of Google Scholar's searchresults link to commercial
`
`journalarticles, searchers will be able to access only an abstract and the citation
`
`details of an article and may have to payafee to access the entire article. The most
`
`relevant results for the searched keywordswill be listedfirst, in order ofthe
`
`author's ranking, the numberofreferencesthatare linkedto it and their relevance
`
`to other scholarly literature, and the ranking of the publication that the journal
`
`appears in. Throughits "cited by" feature, Google Scholar provides accessto
`
`abstracts ofarticles that have cited the article being viewed. Throughits "Related
`
`articles" feature, Google Scholarpresentsa list of closely related articles, ranked
`
`primarily by how similar these articles are to the original result, but also taking into
`
`accountthe relevance of each paper.

`
`LIBRARY CATALOGING PRACTICES
`
`A.
`
`MARCRecords and OCLC
`
`25.
`
`lam fully familiar with the library cataloging standard knownasthe
`
`MARCstandard, whichis an industry-wide standard method of storing and
`
`organizing library catalog information. MARC wasfirst developed in the 1960’s
`
`by the Library of Congress. A MARC-compatible library is one that has a catalog
`
`consisting of individual MARCrecords for works madeavailable at that library.
`
`26.
`
`Since at least the early 1970s and continuingto the present day,
`
`MARChasbeen the primary communications protocol for the transfer and storage
`
`of bibliographic metadata in libraries.” As explained by the Library of Congress:
`
`You could devise your own methodoforganizing the bibliographic
`
`information, but you would beisolating yourlibrary, limiting its options,
`
`and creating much more work for yourself. Using the MARCstandard
`
`prevents duplication of work and allowslibraries to better share
`
`bibliographic resources. Choosing to use MARCenableslibraries to acquire
`
`cataloging data that is predictable andreliable. If a library were to develop a
`
`“home-grown” system that did not use MARCrecords, it would not be
`
`* A complete history of the development of MARC can be found in MARC:Its
`History and Implications by Henrietta D. Avram (Washington, DC: Library of
`Congress, 1975) and available online from the Hathi Trust

`
`
`
`taking advantage of an industry-wide standard whose primary purposeis to
`
`foster communication of information.
`
`Using the MARCstandard also enableslibraries to make use of
`
`commercially available library automation systems to managelibrary
`
`operations. Many systemsare available forlibrariesof all sizes and are
`
`designed to work with the MARCformat. Systems are maintained and
`
`improved by the vendorsothatlibraries can benefit from the latest advances
`
`in computer technology. The MARCstandardalso allowslibraries to replace
`
`one system with another with the assurancethat their data will still be
`
`compatible.
`
`WhyIs a MARCRecord Necessary? LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.?
`
`27.
`
`Thus, almost every majorlibrary in the world is MARC-compatible.
`
`See, e.g., MARC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), LIBRARY OF CONGRESS.‘
`
`(“MARCis the acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging.It defines a data
`
`format that emerged from a Library of Congress-ledinitiative that began nearly
`
`[fifty] years ago. It provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use,
`
`and interpret bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the
`
`foundation of mostlibrary catalogs used today.”). MARCis the ANSI/NISO

`
`AMARCrecord comprisesseveral fields, each of which contains
`
`specific data about the work. Eachfield is identified by a standardized, unique,
`
`three-digit code correspondingto the type of data that follow.® For example, a
`
`work’s title is recorded in field 245, the primary author of the workis recorded in
`
`field 100, a work’s International Standard Book Number(“ISBN”)is recorded in
`
`field 020, a work’s International Standard Serial Number(“ISSN”) is recorded in
`
`field 022, and the publication date is recorded in field 260 underthesubfield “c.” 7
`
`In some MARCrecords, field 264 is used rather than field 260 to record
`
`publication information.® Informationin field 264 is similar to informationin field
`
`260 (Publication, Distribution, etc. (Imprint)). Field 264 is useful for cases where
`
`the content standard orinstitutional policies make a distinction between functions.
`
`If a workis a periodical, then its publication frequency is recorded in field 310, and
`
`the publication dates (e.g., the first and last publication) are recordedin field 362,

`
`Thelibrary that initially created the MARCrecordis reflected in field
`
`040 in subfield “a” with that library’s unique library code.'!' Once a MARCrecord
`
`for a particular workis originally created by onelibrary, other libraries can use that
`
`original MARCrecord to then create their own MARCrecordsfor their own
`
`copies of the same work. These other libraries may modify oraddto the original
`
`MARCrecordas necessary to reflect data specific to their own copies of the work.
`
`However, the library that created the original MARCrecord would still be
`
`reflected in these modified MARCrecords (corresponding to other copies of the
`
`same workat other libraries) in field 040, subfield “a”. The modifying library (or
`
`libraries) is reflected in field 040, subfield “d.”!?

`
`I consulted the Directory of OCLC Libraries'? in order to identify the
`

`'° Upwardsof two-thirds to three-quarters of book salesto libraries come from a
`jobber or wholesalerfor online and print resources. These resellers makeit their
`business to provide books to their customersas fast as possible, often providing
`turnaroundtimesof only a single day after publication. Libraries purchase a
`significantportion ofthe balance oftheir books directly from publishers
`themselves, whichprovide delivery on a similarly expedited schedule.In general,
`libraries make these purchases throughoutthe yearas the books are published and
`shelve the books assoon thereafter as possible in order to make the booksavailable
`to their patrons. Thus, booksare generally available at libraries across the country
`within just a few daysof publication.

`
`MARCrecord online via Online Computer Library Center’s (“OCLC”)
`
`bibliographic database, which I discuss further below, hovering overa library code
`
`in field 040 with the mousereveals the full nameofthelibrary. I also used this
`
`method of “mousing over” the library codes in the OCLC databaseto identify the
`
`originating and modifying libraries for the MARCrecordsdiscussed in this report.
`
`31.
`
`MARCrecordsalso include one or more fields that show information
`
`regarding subject matter classification. For example, 6XX fields are termed
`
`“Subject Access Fields.”'* Amongthese, for example,is the 650 field; this is the
`
`“Subject Added Entry — Topical Term”field.'> The 650 field is a “[s]ubject added
`
`entry in whichthe entry elementis a topical term.” Jd. These entries “are assigned
`
`to a bibliographic record to provide access according to generally accepted
`
`thesaurus-buildingrules (e.g., Library ofCongress Subject Headings (LCSH),
`
`Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)).”Id.
`
`32.
`
`Further, MARCrecords can include call numbers, which themselves
`
`contain a classification number. For example, a MARCrecord mayidentify a 050
`
`field, whichis the “Library of Congress Call Number.”!® A defined portion ofthe
`
`Library of Congress Call Numberis the classification number, and “source of the

`

`
`the “Dewey Decimal Call Number.”'’ A defined portion of the Dewey Decimal
`
`Call (DDC) Numberis the classification number, and “source ofthe classification

`numberis the Dewey Decimal Classification and Relative Index. Thus, included in
`
`the 082 field is a subject matter classification.

`
`selects a classification scheme(e.g., the Library of Congress Classification scheme
`
`just described or a similar scheme such as the Dewey DecimalClassification
`
`scheme)and uses it consistently. When the Library of Congressassigns the
`
`classification number,it appears as part of the 050 field, as discussed above. For
`
`MARCrecords created by libraries other than the Library of Congress(e.g., a
`

`
`of ways. For example, manylibraries, including the Library of Congress, make
`

`

`
`memberinstitutions that use OCLC software to create original MARCrecords, the
`
`date of creation in field 008 is automatically supplied by the OCLC software. The

`
`after which, a work wasfirst acquired and cataloged by the library that created the
`
`original MARC record.
`
`38. When other MARC-compatible libraries subsequently acquire their
`
`own copies of the same work, as mentioned, they create MARCrecordsin their
`
`own computercatalog systemsfor their copies in the ordinary course of business.”5
`
`They may use a MARCrecord previously created for that work (by another
`
`MARC-compatible library) to create their own MARCrecordsfor their own copies
`
`of that same work.”° The previously created MARCrecord used by subsequently-
`
`acquiring libraries to create MARCrecords for their own copies may be obtained
`
`through the OCLC bibliographic database, as described above. If, when creating a
`
`MARCrecord to represent its own copy of the work, the subsequently-acquiring
`
`library uses the master MARCrecordinits original form, the subsequently-
`
`acquiring library cannot reenter data into the 008field; therefore, the date in the
`
`008 field will continueto reflect the date the MARCrecord wasinitially created by
`
`the originating library. On the other hand, if the subsequently-acquiringlibrary
`
`modifies the previously created MARCrecord whencreating its own MARC
`
`record for its own copy of the work, the subsequently-acquiring library may enter

`records.”

`it to the in-house system, the three-character symbol for the subsequentlibrary is
`added to the holdings for the work.

`into the 008 field of its own MARCrecord the date its own MARCrecord was
`
`created.”’ But the library that created the original MARCrecord usedbythe
`
`subsequently-acquiring library would still be reflected in the MARC record ofthe
`
`subsequently-acquiring library in field 040, subfield “a”. Thus, the work identified
`
`by any MARCrecord possessed by any MARC-compatible library would have
`
`been accessible to the public at least as of the date shownin the 008field, or
`
`shortly thereafter, either from the library that possesses the MARCrecorditself, or
`
`from the originating library indicated in field 040, subfield “a”. As discussed, a
`
`MARC-compatible library in the ordinary course of its business creates a MARC
`
`record in its own catalog system for a work whenit acquires a copy of that work.
`
`39. Moreover, when a MARCrecordis created byalibrary for its own
`
`copy of a work,field 005 is automatically populated with the date that MARC
`
`record wascreated in year, month, day format (YYYYMMDD).”* Thereafter, the
`
`library’s computer system may automatically update the date in field 005 every
`
`time the library updates the MARCrecord(e.g., to reflect that an item has been

`*’ This practice is not required by, but is nevertheless consistent with, the MARC
`standard. Many MARCrecords exist today whose 008fields indicate whenthefirst
`original MARCrecord for a work wascreated, rather than when a derivative
`record wascreated based on the original MARCrecord by a subsequently-
`acquiring library for its own computer catalog system.
