`Petitioners Roku and VIZIO; does that sound right?
` A. Yes, sir.
` Q. And the other proceeding involves
`Petitioner Nintendo; is that correct?
` A. That's correct.
` Q. And you were involved with both of
`them?
` A. That's correct. My recollection, I was
`retained on behalf of both of those sets of
`companies. I'm sorry, I said that very badly.
` I was retained by Ancora in regard to the
`petitions that you described.
` Q. Understood.
` You understand that your testimony today
`will be used in both of those IPR proceedings,
`right?
` A. Yes, I do.
` Q. And where are you testifying from

` A. I am in Bismarck, North Dakota.
` Q. In your home office?

`your monitor at this time; is that right?
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Martin.

` A. That's not quite right. I have two other

` Q. You understand you are being deposed
`13
` I can describe them if you'd like?
`today in two IPR proceedings involving one of

` Q. Please.
`Ancora's patents; right?
`15
` A. I have one volume control application
` A. That sounds correct to me. Yes, sir.
`16
`just to facilitate the remote deposition. And
` Q. And that patent is U.S. Patent Number
`17
`then I have another file browser window open that
`6,411,941; does that sound right?
`18
`has folders in it. And these folders contain the

`essentially the docket from the IPR proceedings?
` A. Plus the exhibits. Yes, sir.
` Q. Okay. And did you receive a box of
`papers and exhibits that we've sent to you?
` A. Yes, I did.
` Q. Do you have that box with you today?
` A. Yes, I do.
` Q. I'll go ahead and ask you to close the
`browser, and we will focus on the paper copies of
`the documents. If needed, I can certainly share
`my screen, and we can look at any electronic
`version of the document together; is that okay?
` A. Well, it may be okay, depending on how
`this goes. I actually find it much easier to work
`with the electronic documents, since that's the
`form in which I have worked in this entire matter.
` So I actually may prefer to use these
`publicly available documents when it comes to me,
`but, certainly, we can begin with the paper
`form.
` Q. Sure.
` And no other electronic documents or
`
`3 (9 to 12)
`
`They weren't all patent infringement cases.
` Q. When was the last time you were
`deposed?
` A. I believe it was about two weeks ago.
` Q. And that deposition was a remote
`deposition, I assume?
` A. Yes, sir.
` Q. Okay. Was that deposition in a patent
`infringement case?
` A. It was in a patent IPR case.
` Q. Did that case involve Ancora?
` A. No, sir. It didn't.
` Q. So you're familiar with how these things
`work, but I'll just briefly go over the ground
`rules particularly because we're doing this
`remotely.
` You understand that you are under oath
`today, correct?
` A. Of course. Yes, sir.
` Q. You understand that it's the same oath
`you would take if you were appearing in a court of
`law to testify, right?
`
`11
`
`12
`
`10
`
` A. It seems likely it would be the same
`anything open on your computer, correct?
` A. That's correct.
`oath, yes.
` Q. And other than the box of hard copy
` Q. I'll be asking you questions today. If I
`documents that we sent to you, you don't have any
`ask you a question that you don't understand,
`other hard copy documents, notes, anything like
`please let me know.
`that in front of you?
` Conversely, if I asked you a question and

`you provide an answer, I will assume that you

`the '941 patent. This may not be the only copy in

`the room. We'll find out when I open the box.
` A. Yes, that seems appropriate.

` Q. Understood.

`communications you have during a break that we
`12
`have been deposed before; is that correct?
`take are discoverable; meaning, that I can ask you
`13
` A. I have. Yes, sir.
`about those communications after the break,
`14
` Q. How many times have you been deposed?
`right?
`15
` A. I don't have a firm number in mind. I
` A. Yes, I do.

`
` A. Yes, I did.
` Q. And when was that?
` A. My recollection is it was Friday of last
`week.
` Q. Any other person in the room or on the
`phone or in video at that meeting?
` A. Not that I was aware of.
` Q. Any other meetings?
` A. Nothing comes to mind. No, sir.
` Q. And did you review your declaration
`before today's deposition?
` A. Yes, sir. I did.
` Q. Did you review the deposition transcript
`of Petitioner expert Dr. Wolfe?
` A. I recall having -- I glanced at it very
`briefly.
` Q. Did you review the deposition transcript
`of Mr. Miki Mullor?
` A. No, sir.
` Q. If you would, Dr. Martin, will you please
`pull out the exhibits marked Exhibit 2018 in each
`IPR proceeding from the box?

`we sent to you with the papers and exhibits?
` A. Sure.
` Yes, papers and exhibits. That's what I
`see.
` Q. Okay. Great. From time to time, I will
`ask you to pull out certain documents. But I ask
`that during breaks, you don't -- that you look at
`only the documents that we've used and that have
`been marked as exhibits; is that fair?
` A. I can tell you, I have no plans to
`deviate from that. I understand your instruction
`and request.
` Q. Okay. Is there any reason that you don't
`believe you can provide full-and-complete
`testimony today?
` A. No, sir.
` Q. And is there any reason that you don't
`believe you can provide truthful testimony
`today?
` A. No, sir.
` Q. What did you do to prepare for today's
`deposition?
`
`16
`
`1234567891
`
` A. I spent some time in conversation with
`counsel for Ancora, and I reviewed the materials
`on the docket, including some of the exhibits.
`And I think that fairly characterizes the extent
`of my preparations.
` Q. How many hours would you say, roughly
`ballpark, that you've spent preparing for today's
`deposition?
` A. I would guess five hours, give or take.
` Q. And you stated just now that you met with
`counsel to prepare for the deposition.
` When was the last time that you met with
`counsel?
` A. That was yesterday.
` Q. And who was involved in those meetings?
` A. Mr. Gosse was there and myself.
` Q. Anyone else present either in the room or
`on the phone or video?
` A. I was not aware of anyone else being
`present.
` Q. Did you meet with Mr. Gosse before
`yesterday?
`
` A. Yes, I can find those. I recognize that
`exhibit number as my declaration, so I'll look for
`those.
` Q. Sure.
` A. The box is a little bit difficult to
`manage.
` Q. There are quite a few documents in there.
`I think it's broken up into an exhibit tab, and
`then a Nintendo tab which will have corresponding
`exhibits for the case, if that helps.
`0
` A. Well, maybe I misheard you. I found one
`11
`folder labeled "Exhibit 2018".
`12
` Is there supposed to be more than one?
`13
` Q. So the version that you have is the
`14
`version that was submitted in the Roku/VIZIO case;
`15
`is that correct?
`16
` A. It does appear to be labeled that way.
`17
`Yes, sir.
`18
` Q. Okay. There should be one more
`19
`declaration in the box. I think it's under a
`20
`Nintendo tab. And that is the corresponding
`21
`declaration that you've submitted in the Nintendo

`proceeding.
` A. I see. Yes.
` Okay. Yes. I see Exhibit 2018 also from
`the Nintendo proceeding. I have both exhibits,
`2018, now.
` Q. Great.
` And you recognize these documents as the
`declarations that were used in those
`proceedings?
` A. On the basis of the cover page of these
`documents, that looks like what they are.
` Q. If you turn to the last page of each
`document, you will see a signature there.
` Is that your signature?
` A. My signature is actually on page 132 of
`the document, not on the last page, but I do see
`it on page 132. I just looked in the Nintendo
`declaration. And I see it similar in the Roku and
`VIZIO declaration.
` Q. And as far as you know, are these two
`declarations identical?
` A. I don't think that they are strictly
`
`5 (17 to 20)
`
`19
`
`it's very difficult to be accurate.
` I did not track that effort from the
`first word ever written that appears here towards,
`you know, the last word that ever appears in the
`declarations.
` Q. Understood.
` And before you drafted your declaration
`or during the drafting process, did you review
`Ancora's patent owner response?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
` THE WITNESS: I do not recall during the
`preparation of either of these declarations having
`reviewed in any substantive way a patent owner
`response in one of the two proceedings that we're
`discussing.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. In preparing for today's deposition, did
`you review the board's institution decisions?
` A. I don't recall having done that. I
`haven't -- yeah, in preparation of the deposition,
`I don't recall having reviewed the institution
`decisions.
`
`18
`identical. I can see on the cover page that they

`are different. There may be some different

`exhibit numbering. The stamps are different.
`errors that you wished to correct?
`There may be other differences.
` A. I did notice one issue with an exhibit.
`I believe it's Exhibit Number 2009. One moment.
` Q. Are you aware of any substantive
` Yes, in both of the declarations, I
`differences in the body of the declarations?
` A. As I sit here today, I'm not aware of
`referred to Exhibit 2009 for a definition that
`intending to have expressed any substantive
`was, I believe, mistakenly omitted from that
`differences in these two declarations other than,
`exhibit. My understanding is that this is -- this
`as I mentioned, the numbering and stamps and so
`will be corrected or that's underway. That's one
`0
`forth.
`thing I recalled.
`11
` I noticed a typo elsewhere in my
` Q. Understood.
`12
`declaration that I don't believe would confuse
` Did you draft these declarations?
`13
` A. Yes, but I don't want to mislead. I did
`anyone.
`14
`not perform all of the drafting of all of the text
` Q. Do you know which definition was omitted
`15
`in both declarations solely by myself.
`from Exhibit 2009?
`16
` A. I can easily find it. And the most
` Q. How long would you say that you spent
`17
`efficient way for me to do that is to consult the
`preparing each declaration?
`18
` A. I can't give you a firm estimate. I can
`electronic forms of my declaration on my desktop
`19
`say that I expect that it would have been many
`so that's what --
`20
`dozens of hours all told in working on the
` Q. It's okay. We'll get there in just a
`21
`material that appears in these declarations, but
`minute. Moving on.

`
` Did you identify any other errors in your
`declaration beyond Exhibit 2009 and the typo that
`you just referred to?
` A. Other than the typo I referred to and the
`errors involving the citations to the Microsoft
`dictionary for the term "BIOS", I can't think of
`any other comparable issues that I noticed in
`review of my declarations.
` Q. And as of today, do you have any plan to
`supplement your declaration?
` A. Can you repeat that, please?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. Yes.
` As of today, do you have any plan to
`supplement your declarations?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
` THE WITNESS: As I sit here today, I do
`not have a plan to supplement either declaration.
`I'm not sure what circumstances would arise where
`that might be appropriate, but sitting here today,
`I'm not aware of any.
`
`6 (21 to 24)
`
`23
`
`what I'm recalling now.
` Q. Were other law firms involved?
` A. Yes. I do recall there was other counsel
`for Ancora present.
` Q. And when you say, "other counsel for
`Ancora", are you referring to Ancora's district
`court litigation counsel?
` A. I'm not sure if that's a precise enough
`way to characterize the counsel. It may be yes.
`It may be no. Maybe you could clarify the
`question for me.
` Q. Who was the other counsel that contacted
`you regarding this case?
` A. I also recall having communicated with
`Andres Healy at Susman Godfrey in this matter as
`well.
` Q. And when were these communications?
` A. I'm recalling that the communications I'm
`referring to regarding these two IPR proceedings
`would have been sometime early in this calendar
`year... January, February, or something like
`that.

` However, those engagements were -- I
`don't -- I don't recall that as having been
`omitting them. Rather, it was just that is not
`one of the examples that I put in my CV.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. Have you been retained by Ancora in any
`other case other than the LG and the HTC cases?
` A. I am recalling some other engagements.
`Yes, sir.
` Q. What are those engagements?
` A. I am remembering some IPR engagements.
`For example, there was one with Sony and the '941
`patent. I believe there was also one with TCL or
`TCT and the '941 patents. My recollection is that
`there may have been an engagement related to TCL
`or TCT, and a district court case involving the
`'941 as well. That's all I can remember at this
`moment.
` Q. Were you deposed in any of those cases?
` A. Yes, sir. I was.

` A. The ones I'm recalling did involve
`Ancora, yes.
` Q. Did both of those cases involve the '941
`patent at issue here?
` A. That is my recollection, yes. Both of
`those cases, I was previously engaged on,
`concerned the '941 patent.
` Q. One of those cases involved LG
`Electronics and Samsung as defendants, right?
` A. That is correct. That is one of the
`cases I had in mind in my previous answer.
` Q. And what is the other case?
` A. The other case that I was referring to is
`a case involving HTC.
` Q. And neither of these cases are listed in
`your CV; is that correct?
` A. I don't recall. I would have to consult
`my CV to answer that question.
` Q. Is there a reason they would have been
`
`28
`
`omitted from the CV?
`all those cases?
` A. I'm not going to be able to recall, for

`
` THE WITNESS: I do not recall having
`submitted any reports in any district court case
`involving TCL or TCT.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. Did the LG Samsung case involve the
`Hellman prior art reference at issue here?
` A. My recollection is that the Hellman prior
`art reference was involved in one of those cases,
`either the LG case or the Samsung case. As I sit
`here, I can't remember clearly which one it was.
` Q. Did those cases also involve the Chou
`prior art reference in issue here?
` A. Yes. The Chou reference at issue in
`today's IPRs was also raised in one or more of the
`two district court cases that we've discussed,
`that is LG and Samsung.
` Q. Did those cases also involve the Schneck
`prior art reference in issue here?
` A. As I sit here today, I don't recall them
`having been -- I don't recall Schneck having been
`involved in those cases, but I'm not entirely
`confident about that. It's possible that they

`
`IPR, and I'm recalling at least one -- let me
`rephrase. In the LG and Samsung cases, I'm
`recalling for each of them both opening reports
`and rebuttal reports. There may have been some
`supplemental reports as well. I don't recall
`clearly sitting here right now.
` Q. By opening reports, are you referring to
`infringement reports?
` A. That is correct. They were opening
`reports for the infringement case, yes.
` Q. By rebuttal reports, are you referring to
`rebuttal reports that address patent validity?
` A. Yes, that was the primary substance of
`the reports I had in mind.
` Q. To the best of your recollection, were
`those reports submitted before or after you
`admitted your declaration in these IPRs?
` A. I'm quite sure that all of the reports
`that I mentioned that were in the district court
`litigation involving LG and Samsung, were filed
`before my involvement with the IPRs that we're
`discussing today.
`
`1234567891
`
`30
`
` Q. That is the --
` A. Let me.
` The IPRs that we're discussing today,
`specifically the Nintendo and Roku/VIZIO IPRs.
` Q. And did you submit expert reports in the
`HTC case as well?
` A. No, sir. I have not submitted expert
`reports in the HTC case.
` Q. Do you intend to submit reports in that
`case?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
` THE WITNESS: As I sit here, I have no
`clear intention about it. My understanding is
`that the case is ongoing, and so it may happen
`that I, ultimately, do submit reports. But, as I
`sit here today, I have no clear intention one way
`or another about it.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. And same question for the TCL district
`court litigation, did you submit reports in that
`case?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
`
`were present in some manner in those cases.
` Q. And just so the record is clear, when
`we're talking about those cases, we're referring
`to LG, Samsung, HTC, and TCL district court
`cases?
` A. Well, I was referring specifically to the
`LG and Samsung cases, given my previous testimony
`that I never filed any reports in any of the other
`cases that you've mentioned in your question.
` Q. Understood.
`0
` Do you know if the same prior art at
`11
`issue here is also at issue in HTC and the TCL
`12
`district court cases?
`13
` A. As I sit here today, no, I do not know.
`14
` Q. Are you aware of anything in the expert
`15
`reports that you submitted in any of those cases
`16
`that is inconsistent with any position that you've
`17
`taken or that Ancora has taken in these IPRs?
`18

`in the Nintendo, Roku, and VIZIO IPRs that we're
`discussing today.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. You referred specifically to your
`rebuttal reports in those cases.
` Is your answer the same with regard to
`your infringement reports in those cases?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
` THE WITNESS: Yes, I would agree, I'm not
`aware of having taken any -- undertaken any
`analysis in my previously submitted infringement
`reports that is inconsistent with any of the
`analysis that I have undertaken with respect to
`the IPRs concerned in today's deposition.

`court's construction of a longer term.
` Q. Did you apply that construction in your
`infringement report in the LG case?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
` THE WITNESS: Yes, my recollection in the
`LG case is that I was fully aware of the court's
`constructions, and that I applied them all in my
`infringement analysis, including the term "agent"
`as we have just discussed, and the larger term in
`which the word agent appears. That is, using an
`agent to set up a verification structure...
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. Did you apply that same construction in
`your validity report submitted in the LG case?
` MR. GOSSE: Object to the form.
` THE WITNESS: Yes, I used consistent
`constructions between all of my reports in the LG
`case.
`BY MR. CRUDO:
` Q. When you say you used "consistent
`construction between all of your reports", do you
`mean you used the same constructions between all
