`
` COURT REPORTER: The attorneys
`
` participating in this deposition acknowledge
`
` that I am not physically present in the
`
` deposition room, and that I will be
`
` reporting this deposition remotely.
`
` They further acknowledge that, in lieu
`
` of an oath administered in person, I will
`
` administer the oath remotely.
`
` The parties further agree that if the
`
` witness is testifying from a state where I
`
` am not a Notary, that the witness may be
`
` sworn in by an out-of-state notary.
`
` If any party has an objection to this
`
` manner of reporting, please state it now.
`
` (No response.)
`
` COURT REPORTER: Hearing no objection,
`
` we may proceed.
`
`Whereupon,
`
` RAJESH K. GUPTA, PH.D.
`
` having been first duly sworn, was examined
`

`BY MR. SCHMIDT:
`
` Q Good morning, Dr. Gupta. Thanks a lot
`
`Page 6
`
`for your time today.
`
` A Thank you.
`
` Q I guess first let me ask, what is your
`
`proper title, "Dr." or "Professor" Gupta? Or...?
`
` A Both.
`
` Q How would you prefer to be addressed?
`
` A Either is fine.
`
` Q Okay. I'll stick with "Dr." That
`
`comes more natural to me.
`
` A Sure.
`
` Q Yeah, thanks for getting started so
`
`early. I realize you're on the West Coast. So I
`
`know it's quite early for you.
`
` Have you been deposed before?
`
` A No.
`
` Q This is your first deposition, then?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. Let me go over the process a
`
`little bit, just so you know what to expect.
`
` You're sworn under oath to tell the
`
`truth to best of your recollection.
`
` Do you understand that?
`
` A Yes.

`
` Q Okay. The transcript for this
`
`deposition is being recorded and may be available
`
`to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and may be
`
`publicly available, as well, after the deposition.
`
` Do you understand?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Is there any reason why you may not be
`
`able to testify accurately today?
`
` A No.
`
` Q So the court reporter is recording our
`
`conversation and making a transcript.
`
` In order for that transcript to be
`
`meaningful and, well, accurate, it is important
`
`that we speak one at a time; and I'm sure the
`
`court reporter will let us know if she has trouble
`
`understanding us.
`
` Do you understand?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. And finally, it's important to
`
`give verbal answers, because it is not easy to
`
`record nonverbal responses. Okay?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q All right. Do you have the
`
`exhibits -- specifically, your two declarations in
`
`this case -- accessible to you right now?

`

`

`

`

`
` (Whereupon, Intel Exhibit 1010,
`

`
` witness.)
`
`BY MR. HINDMAN:
`
` Q I guess, let's ask: So Dr. Gupta, do
`
`you have access to Exhibit 1010?
`
` A Yes, I do.
`
` Q Now, on the front page at the bottom
`
`right, do you see a stamp that says "Intel
`
`Exhibit 1010-1"?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Great. And this is your declaration
`
`submitted in this matter. Right?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Do you also have Exhibit -- Intel
`
`Exhibit 1003?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. Finally, do you have Exhibits
`
`1003, 1004, and 1005, which are the three articles

`

`
` A Yes; -3, -4, -5.
`
` Q Great. Okay. So I understand -- so
`
`let's take a look at Exhibit 1010 first.
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q I understand you -- from 1994 until
`
`'96, you were assistant professor of computer
`
`science at the University of Illinois,
`
`Urbana-Champaign?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Okay. And you're working closely with
`
`Dr. Chien. Right?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Am I pronouncing that name correctly?
`
` A No; "Chien."
`
` Q "Chien," okay.
`
` Okay. So you and Dr. Chien coauthored
`
`an article entitled "MORPH: A System Architecture
`
`for Robust Higher Performance Using
`
`Customization."
`
` Is that right?
`
` A There were several articles. Exact
`
`title is in the -- 1005. So, 1005....
`
` Q Page 7.
`
` A I think the title -- maybe I misheard

`
` Q Okay. And that is the article you are
`
`describing in paragraph 18 of Exhibit 1010.
`
` Is that right?
`
` A I don't know the paragraph number. If
`
`you could give me the item number, I can verify.
`
` Q The page number is Intel
`
`Exhibit 1010-5. At the very top of the page is
`
`paragraph 18.
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q I'm sorry, I could not hear that.
`
` A That is correct.
`
` Q Okay. So this article was submitted
`
`by you and Dr. Chien to the Frontiers '96 IEEE
`
`Conference.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Okay. In the very bottom of this
`
`paragraph, do you see the sentence that ends in:
`
` ...I believe this paper was
`
` distributed to the conference
`
` attendees prior or during the
`
` conference.
`

`

`
`to conference attendees?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection; form.
`
` Q You can answer the question.
`
` A At this point, uncertain.
`
` Q Okay. Why did you write "I believe"
`
`originally in this declaration?
`
` A Because it was a recollection at that
`
`time.
`
` Q Okay. And since then, you have become
`
`certain?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q How did that change happen?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection; form.
`
` A I found the proceedings in my office
`
`and that brought forth a recollection, and that I
`
`picked it up at the --
`
` (Court reporter request for clarity.)
`
` A The proceedings at the conference.
`
` (Court reporter request for clarity.)
`
` A The conference proceedings were
`
`distributed at the conference.
`
` Now....
`
` Q So are you referring to the book that

`
`you took pictures of and submitted in your second
`
`declaration?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Okay. So you found the publication of
`
`that conference, the Frontiers '96 Conference, in
`
`your own personal files.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A Yes. Some in my remaining proceedings
`
`in my office.
`
` Q Okay. And based on finding that,
`
`you -- that's the reason why you were able -- you
`
`are now certain that this paper was distributed at
`
`the --
`
` A No.
`
` Q I'm sorry?
`
` A No; that's not the only reason.
`
` Q Oh. What other reasons?
`
` A This is a refereed conference.
`
` Refereed publications have very
`
`well-defined rules as to how the papers are
`
`submitted, when they are submitted, how they're
`
`evaluated, and how they're selected -- and when
`
`they're selected, how the authors are notified --
`
`and how those publications are put into
`
`proceedings; and those proceedings are then

`
` This is a standard "matter" by which
`
`IEEE operates.
`
` Q Okay. How many IEEE conferences have
`
`you attended?
`
` A I've been in academia as a professor
`
`27 years and, before that, as a student.
`
` In 30 years, I would say maybe a few
`
`hundred.
`
` Q Okay. Do you have an idea of how many
`
`submissions you have made to these IEEE
`
`conferences?
`
` A Probably in few hundreds.
`
` Q Wow, that's impressive. It sounds
`
`like you've submitted even more than one per
`
`conference sometimes.
`
` Is that right?
`
` A Absolutely.
`
` Q Very neat, very prolific.
`
` Okay. So let's take a look at
`
`paragraph 19 on that same page.
`
` Do you see that?
`

`

`
`Xplore first became available?
`
` A That I could tell you.
`

`

`
` A Would you please repeat the question.
`
` Q Sure, absolutely. My question is:
`
`When do you recall first using IEEE Xplore?
`
` A I cannot answer that question with
`
`certainty.
`
` Q Do you --
`
` MR. NASH: Henning, if it helps, since
`
` I have the realtime, your question, I think,
`
` was: Do you have an idea of when IEEE
`
` Xplore first became available?
`
` THE WITNESS: That I can answer.
`
` Q Okay. Let's answer that question,
`

`
` MR. HINDMAN: Thanks, Brian.

`

`
` Q Okay. I expect that first version
`
`that was released that you referred to just now
`

`
` Q Do you believe that that is still the

`

`
` Are you talking about the software?
`
`Are you talking about the database? Are you
`
`talking about the software that accesses the
`
`database? Are you talking about the user
`
`interface that accesses the software of the
`
`database?
`
` Q I'm specifically talking about the
`
`search capability of the user interface that
`
`accesses the database.
`
` A I have no business of knowing when it
`
`was updated.
`
` Q Are you familiar with the search
`
`capability of the user interface for accessing the
`
`database right now?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Do you have any personal knowledge
`
`whether that interface was the same in 2002, for
`
`example?

`

`
` A The interface today is the same
`

`
`that?
`
` A No. I'm just repeating the question.

`

`
`capabilities of the interface for the IEEE Xplore
`
`database. Yes?
`
` A I'm having a hard time understanding
`

`

`
`searching the IEEE Xplore database. Right?
`
` A That's my capability.
`

`
` A Yes.

`
` A I don't know.
`
` Q Okay. So in paragraph 19 again, your
`
`statement says:
`
` I understand that it has been
`
` available from the IEEE Xplore
`
` website...since at least as early as
`
` August 6, 2002.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A Paragraph 19, last sentence, yes.
`
` Q Okay. This publication you submitted
`
`with Dr. Chien in 1996, right, to the IEEE
`
`conference?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Can you explain the six-year delay
`
`here?
`
` A The publication receives IEEE Xplore
`
`launch.
`
` Q Do you know why there would have been
`
`a six-year delay for a publication by the IEEE?
`
` A IEEE Xplore, an online library, did
`
`not exist at that time -- IEEE.

`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection; form.
`
` A I'm going to repeat the question,
`
`because I'm not sure I understood it.
`
` What is my understanding, what
`
`August 6, 2002?
`
` Q Yeah.
`
` A That is -- yeah.
`
` Q Let me start -- restart the question.
`
` You say here that you understand that
`
`article has been available from the IEEE Xplore
`

`
` What is that understanding based on?
`
` A It's based on the IEEE Xplore
`
`information.

`
`article itself; is that the basis for your

`
`2002, for your article in the IEEE Xplore
`
`Page 21
`
`database?
`
` A No.
`
` Q Okay. Have you ever personally looked
`
`for your article in the IEEE Xplore database?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q When?
`
` A Several times.
`
` Q When?
`
` A I can't list a specific date because
`
`it is a common practice to look for articles in
`
`IEEE databases, especially when my file has been
`
`prepared for a promotion.
`
` Q Is there any time that you can point
`
`out with certainty that you searched IEEE Xplore
`
`database and found your article?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection --
`
` A No.
`
` MR. HINDMAN: -- asked and answered.
`
` Q Okay. So paragraph 20 at the top of
`
`the next page says that the article was published
`
`by IEEE in 1996.
`
` What do you mean by that statement?

`
` A There are two main audiences. One is
`
`the conference attendees. The second are
`
`subscribers.
`
` Subscribers are usually libraries,
`
`(inaudible) members, but can also be individual
`
`members.
`
` Q I think you said you were certain that
`
`it was distributed to attendees because you have
`
`your own copy which you received at the
`
`conference.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Okay. Do you have any personal
`
`knowledge as to whether or not it was also
`
`published to subscribers?
`
` A In this particular case, I do not.
`
` Q Okay. In paragraph 19 -- sorry,
`
`paragraph 21, you're referring to a paper that you
`
`coauthored with Mr. Zhang.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A Yeah; 21.

`
` Do you see that?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Does this belief mean that you do not
`
`know for certain that it was distributed to
`
`conference attendees?
`
` A I know for certain it was, and the
`
`basis for that is twofold.
`
` One, I recollect seeing the
`
`proceedings after the conference and making copy
`
`of the paper.
`
` Second, we are required to produce
`
`copies, physical copies, of proceeding papers --
`
`not electronic copies -- for our own promotion
`
`cases; and therefore, this paper was copied from
`
`proceedings.
`
` Q You say for your promotion case.
`
` Does that refer to promotion at the
`
`university you're working on?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Okay. Does that refer to promotion
`
`within the IEEE, or no?
`
` A I don't know what that means,

`

`

`
`the copy that you say you made of this paper, on
`
`which your personal -- your belief here or your
`

`
` A I made the copy. The copy was
`

`

`
` A To the university.
`
` Q Oh, university. Okay.
`
` Is there a record of this copy or of
`

`
` A There is likely a record. It's over

`

`
` Do you recall when the IEEE Xplore
`

`
` A I don't know that.
`
` Q Okay. But you do know that by
`
`August 6, 2002 it was online.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A According to IEEE data.
`
` Q Okay. So is it your understanding
`
`that your paper, along with all the others, were
`
`submitted to the IEEE but became available on IEEE
`
`Xplore website only years later, because the
`
`website was not online at the time of the
`
`conference?
`
` A That's correct.
`
` Q Okay. And you're not certain, now, as
`
`to the exact search capabilities of the website in

`2002.

`
` Q Sure. You are not certain today as to
`

`
`website in 2002.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A Let me clarify what you mean by
`
`"capability" here.
`
` Q The search capability of the user
`
`interface to search the database for a given
`
`article or set of articles.
`
` A If you're saying that the user
`
`interface is the same as it was before, I don't
`
`know the answer.
`
` Q Okay. Do you know the search
`
`capabilities of the user interface of the IEEE
`
`Xplore website in 2002 at all?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection; vague.
`
` A Let me....
`
` "Capability" means many things.
`
` Capability does not make interface,
`
`which is why I have to clarify that you're talking
`
`about interface.

`
`BY MR. HINDMAN:
`
` Q Yeah, sure. Let me restart the

`
` I'll start it a little bit
`
`differently. It might make it easier.
`
` Do you know whether it was possible to
`
`search the IEEE database in 2002 based on author
`
`name?
`
` A I believe with reasonable certainty
`
`that is the basic user interface.
`
` So I am....
`
` I am reasonably certain that that was
`
`there.
`
` Q What is your answer based on?
`
` You've already testified that you did
`
`not use the IEEE Xplore database at that time.

`
` ambiguous question.
`
` A Let's hear the question again.
`
` Q Sure. What is your answer based on,
`
`given that you've already said that you did not
`
`search the IEEE Xplore database in 2002?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Same objection.
`
` A It's based on reason. That's why I
`
`used the word "reasonable certain."
`
` Q Okay. So you don't have personal
`
`knowledge of whether that is true or not. Right?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection;
`
` mischaracterizes testimony.
`
` A That certainty is not on actually
`
`using for this particular case.
`
` Q Okay. So basically, I think what
`
`you're saying is that you think it's probably true
`
`but you don't know for sure that it is, in fact,
`
`true.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` MR. HINDMAN: Objection; form.
`
` A In fact what? What is true and false?
`
` Q Let me rephrase that.
`
` So I think what you're trying to
`
`say -- and please correct me if I'm wrong -- is
`
`that you believe it was possible to search by

`
`author name, for example, but you are not sure
`
`that it is -- that was the case.
`
` Is that right?
`
` A I think that was the word, "reasonably
`
`certain."
`
` Q Okay. Which is something less than
`
`100 percent certain. Right?
`
` A I don't know what "100 percent" is.
`
`There is experiential, experiential certainty.
`
`There's reasonable certainty.
`
` Q Okay. I'm sorry. Did you say you
`
`don't understand what 100 percent certain is?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. Do you know any other metrics
`
`that could be used to search a database in 2002?
`
` A Sorry. I didn't get it. Do I know
`
`what?
`
` Q Any other metrics, in addition to the
`
`example of the author name that I used a minute
`
`ago, that could be used to search the IEEE
`
`database in 2002?
`
` A By "metrics," you mean means by which
`
`you search an article?
`
` Q Yes.
`
` A Would be title, would be year

`
` Q And are you reasonably certain that it
`
`was possible to search by title?
`
` A Same answer: Yes.
`
` Q And what is that reasonable certainty
`
`based on?
`
` A The citation measures up papers,
`
`consist of very basic components -- a title, the
`
`author, the place of publication, proceedings or
`
`conferences, and the year, and sometimes the
`
`month.
`
` Q Okay. Do you know whether a keyword
`
`search was possible at the time?
