`
` EXAMINATION
`
`BY MR. TOLLIVER:
`
` Q Good morning, Dr. Williams.
`
` A Good morning.
`
` Q My name is Craig Tolliver, and I
`
`represent the petitioners in the IPR numbers
`
`2021-01492 and 01493. And those are -- the IPRs
`
`that you might know is the -- you know, the code
`
`200, the IPRs concerning the 319 and 510 patents.
`
` And also attending is Jason
`
`Bartlett, and he -- well, Jason, I'll let you
`
`introduce yourself.
`
` MR. BARTLETT: I'm representing the
`
`Major Data petitioners in the IPRs having the
`
`numbers 915 and 916.
`
` THE DEPONENT: All right. Nice to
`
`meet you.
`
` MR. BARTLETT: Nice to meet you.
`
`BY MR. TOLLIVER:
`
` Q Dr. Williams, do you understand that
`
`you are here today to provide deposition testimony
`
`with respect to all four of those IPRs?

`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Okay. And sir, the reason that
`
`we're doing this is rather than subject you to, you
`
`know, four separate depositions, because of some
`
`overlap that's involved in these IPRs, we decided
`
`that we could really just do it in one sitting.
`
` Does that make sense?
`
` A Sounds good.
`
` Q Okay. Do you recall submitting a
`
`declaration in the two code 200 IPRs concerning the
`
`319 and 510 patents?
`
` A I do, yes.
`
` Q Would you agree with me that the
`
`declarations that you submitted in the 915 and 916
`
`IPRs, the Major Data IPRs concerning the same
`
`patents, would you agree those declarations are
`
`substantially identical, for lack of a better word?
`
` A Yes, they are.
`
` Q Okay. And actually, would you
`
`agree, sir, that your declarations, even between
`
`the two patents -- so your declaration regarding
`
`the 319 patent IPR and your declaration concerning
`
`the 512 patent IPR, that those declarations are
`
`also quite similar?
`
` Would you agree with that?

`
` A Yes, they are. The claim language
`
`is different but they are similar.
`
` Q Understood. And that's the
`
`reason -- understood, sir. That's the reason that
`
`we're taking a deposition that's combined across
`
`those four IPRs.
`
` Does that make sense?
`
` A Yes. They reflect similar opinions
`
`on all four.
`
` Q Okay. Very good. And sir, I'll be
`
`referring to your declaration, and unless I state
`
`differently, I'll refer to your declaration in the
`
`2021-01492 case, so that's the 319 patent IPR with
`
`the code 200 petitioners.
`
` Does that make sense?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And I believe your declaration is
`
`Exhibit No. 2065. And do you have a copy of that
`
`handy?
`
` A I do.
`
` Q Okay. And sir, I'll refer to that,
`
`unless I state differently.
`
` A All right.
`
` Q So let's start, sir, with your
`
`understanding of what client device means. Now,

`

`

`

`
`you have opined that client device in your opinion
`
`means consumer computer; is that right?
`
` A I have, yes.
`
` Q Is that the same thing -- "consumer
`
`computer," is that the same thing as a computer of
`
`a consumer?
`
` A I don't understand the question.
`
` Q Okay. Let me refer to you a
`
`paragraph of your declaration. Exhibit 2065.
`
`Could you go to paragraph 112, please.
`
` A I'm there.
`
` Q Do you see your first sentence says,
`
`"A POSA would understand the term 'client device'
`
`to mean a 'consumer computer'"?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q By "POSA," you mean a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art; is that correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And do you see directly after that
`
`sentence you have the citation to the 319 patent?
`
` A I do.
`
` Q Could you read the quote that you
`
`have from the 319 patent?
`
` A "In the network 50, files are stored
`
`on computers of consumers, referred to herein as

`Exhibit 1111
`Code 200, UAB, et al. v. Bright Data
`IPR2021-01492
`Page 7 of 233
`
`
`
`client devices."
`
` Q Okay. Do you see in that quote the
`
`Page 8
`
`language "computers of consumers"?
`
` A I do.
`
` Q Is that the same thing that you mean
`
`by consumer computer or is it different?
`
` A Well, here I'm importing into
`
`computers of consumers the characteristics of a
`
`device that a consumer would purchase and operate
`
`and has the characteristics of a consumer computer.
`
` Q Paragraph -- in paragraph 112 you
`
`state that a client device means a, quote,
`
`"consumer computer," right?
`
` A That would be the understanding of a
`
`POSA, yes.
`
` Q And you still agree with that today;
`
`is that correct?
`
` A Please don't cut me off in my
`
`answers.
`
` Q Were you not done with your answer,
`
`sir?
`
` A No. But we can go on.
`
` Q Please finish your answer.

`
`Dr. Williams. I'll try to make sure I can tell
`
`when you are done with your answer before I ask
`
`another question, and I would ask you to do the
`
`same so that we can have a clean transcript.
`
` A Right.
`
` Q I apologize if I cut you off in your
`
`earlier answer.
`
` Okay. So let me ask again, to make
`
`sure I understand. Is the phrase "consumer
`
`computer," as you use it in paragraph 112, the same
`
`thing as a computer of a consumer as appears in the
`
`quote that you gave to the 319 patent also in
`
`paragraph 112?
`
` A By consumer computer here, I mean a
`
`computer that is purchased and operated by a
`
`consumer and has the characteristics of a consumer
`
`device. And an alternative here is a consumer
`
`communication device. So these devices would have
`
`the characteristics of a consumer computer.
`
` Q Thank you.
`
` A In other words, the title of
`
`ownership of a device doesn't matter. It's the
`
`characteristics of the device itself.
`
` Q We'll get to some of those
`
`characteristics in a minute, but let me clarify,
`
`TransPerfect Legal Solutions

`
`
`
`sir. You told me just a second ago that a consumer
`
`computer has to be purchased and operated by a
`
`Page 10
`
`consumer.
`
` Do you recall stating that?
`
` A I said that it would be, yes.
`
`Uh-huh.
`
` Q So making sure I understand your
`
`definition of client device, sir, does a client
`
`device as you are defining it, have to be purchased
`
`and operated by a consumer?
`
` A Those are a couple of
`
`characteristics of a consumer computer, yes.
`
` Q What is a consumer?
`
` A Consumer is not a commercial
`
`enterprise.
`
` Q Anything else?
`
` A I think that's good enough.
`
` Q So anything or anyone who's not a
`
`commercial enterprise is a consumer; is that
`
`correct?
`
` MR. DUNHAM: Objection, form.
`
` THE DEPONENT: I haven't expressed
`
`that opinion.

`
` In your opinion, in order to
`
`determine whether something is a client device,
`
`don't you have to analyze whether that device is a
`
`computer of a quote, unquote "consumer"?
`
` A Once again, we're talking about a
`
`client device, which means a consumer computer,
`
`which to me means that the computer has the
`
`characteristics of a consumer computer, which is
`
`it's purchased and operated by a consumer, and it
`
`has the other characteristics which differentiate
`
`it from servers.
`
` Q Okay. I'm still trying to
`
`understand right now what a consumer is. So let me
`
`ask again.
`
` A We're not concerned with consumer.
`
`We're concerned with consumer computer.
`
` Q If a computer is being owned and
`
`operated by a commercial entity, does that exclude
`
`it from being a consumer computer?
`
` A I haven't expressed that opinion.
`
`What I did say is one of the characteristics of a
`
`client device is that it is a consumer computer,
`
`which has the sum of the properties of being
`
`purchased and operated by a consumer and having the

`
`other characteristics of a consumer device rather
`
`than a server.
`
` Q Okay. Well, you're the expert in
`
`this matter for Bright Data, so I get to ask you
`
`now: If a computer is purchased and operated by a
`
`commercial entity, would that exclude it from being
`
`a client device, in your opinion?
`
` MR. DUNHAM: Objection, form.
`
` THE DEPONENT: Well, we're concerned
`
`with consumer computer as -- or a client device as
`
`described in the specification, and the
`
`specification makes a bifurcation of devices
`
`between servers and client devices. And so a
`
`client device has many characteristics. A few of
`
`those characteristics are the ones that we have
`
`been discussing this morning.
`
` Q
`
`BY MR. TOLLIVER:
`
` Q Can you answer the question that I
`
`just asked before?
`
` Let me ask it again. If a computer
`
`were purchased and operated by a commercial entity,
`
`would that in your opinion exclude it from being a
`
`client device?
`
` A I believe I answered that question.

`

`
`mobile device, would that mobile device still be a

`

`
` Q Well, can you tell me the answer to
`
`that?
`
` A You have to complete your

`
` Q In what way?
`
` A How is the device being operated?
`
`What kind of device is it? Does it have the
`
`characteristics of a client device or a server
`
`device per the specifications of the patents?
`
`Again, the patents bifurcate between two classes of
`
`devices. You are trying to mix the line between
`
`the two. It's clear what one is and what the other
`
`is.
`
` Q Sir, I understand that you have
`
`provided some -- what you say characteristics of a
`
`client device, including in paragraphs 122 and 123
`
`of your declaration. But right now, sir, I'm
`
`simply asking about your definition of a client

`
` So let me ask this question again.
`
`In your opinion, does a client device need to be
`
`owned and operated by a consumer in order to be a
`
`client device, "yes" or "no"?
`
` MR. DUNHAM: I'm sorry. Could the
`
`court reporter read that question back?
`
` (Record read back.)
`
` THE DEPONENT: I think I have
`
`clearly stated what my opinion is in my testimony
`
`this morning. Two of the characteristics of a
`
`client device being a consumer computer are
`
`something that is consumer owned and operated and
`
`the other characteristics are described within
`
`my -- within my declaration.
`
` And again, the patents bifurcate
`
`between two types of devices, servers and clients.
`
` Q
`
`BY MR. TOLLIVER:
`
` Q Okay. Are you a consumer?
`
` A Sometimes.
`
` Q With respect to your definition of
`
`client device being a consumer computer, are you a
`
`consumer?
`
` A Doesn't matter. We're looking at

`
` Q When you say that you are sometimes
`
`a consumer, can you explain further what you mean
`
`by that?
`
` A Sometimes I'm a consumer, sometimes
`
`I operate as a business, commercial enterprise.
`
` Q And do you know whether Mr. Dunham
`
`is a consumer?
`
` A I have no idea.
`

`
`anything, in order to determine that?

`
` Q Okay. So let's turn to

`
` A Yes.
`

`"In my opinion, a POSA would understand that is a
`
`client device is typically portable and easily
`
`moved, like, for example, a laptop, desktop, tablet
`
`or smart phone."

`

`
`or nonhuman entity.
`

`

`
` Q Who would the client device be moved
`
`by? Would it be a consumer?
`
` A Doesn't matter.
`
` Q Well, how what do you need to
`
`consider, sir, to determine whether the client
`
`device is easily moved or not easily moved?
`
` A The mechanical aspects of the
`
`device.
`
` Q In your opinion, sir, in order for a

`
` A I don't understand the question.
`
` Q Okay. If a device was not portable,
`
`would that exclude it from being a client device?
`
` A Well, you would have to consider all
`
`of the characteristics of a consumer device versus
`
`a server as outlined in the patents. So you would
`
`have to consider the characteristics in totality,
`
`not just a single characteristic.
`
` Q Sir, do you see in paragraph 122
`
`that you have several different characteristics
`
`that you have listed as pertaining to a client
`
`device?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q So, for example, one of them is
`
`being portable.
`
` Do you see that?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q One is being a dedicated network
`

`
` A Yeah.

`connections?

`

`

`
`laptop, desktop tablet or smart phone"?
`

`

`

`
`It's an example of a device which is -- a desktop
`

`
`device as opposed to a server device. It means
`
`that the characteristics that would lead one to
`
`conclude that the device that you are examining is
`
`a client device rather than a server device, and I
`

`
`one of these characteristics must be present in
`

`
`
`
` Q Paragraph 122, again, has a number
`
`of characteristics as to what you say a client

`
`device is, right?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q Did you come up with these or are

`
` A These were developed in discussion
`
`with the attorneys. This accurately reflects my
`
`opinion.
`
` Q Can you tell me whether you came up
`
`with these characteristics or somebody else did?
`
` A These characteristics were developed
`
`in discussions with attorneys.
`
` Q Okay. And when you say something is
`
`easily moved in that first sentence in
`
`paragraph 122, how far would it have to be moved?
`
` A I've not expressed that restriction.
`
` Q Right, sir, but if someone were
`
`attempting to determine what a client device was
`
`using your characteristics in paragraph 122, how
`
`could they determine whether or not a device was

`

`
`two types of devices. And these are
`
`characteristics of something that would be called a
`
`client device.
`
` Q Yes, sir. Let's say that that
`
`person was trying to look at all the
`
`characteristics. You would agree with me that one
`
`of the characteristics you list is being portable
`
`and easily moved, right?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q So would you think it would be
`
`important for a person in attempting to determine
`
`what a client device is, using your definitions, to
`
`attempt to determine whether the device was
`
`portable and easily moved?
`
` A If I understand your hypothetical,
`
`and we just looked at the case of easily moved, if
`
`a device is not easily moved, it doesn't
`
`necessarily exclude that device from being a client
`
`device.
`
` So you are trying to ask about each
`
`and every element being met within the
`
`characteristics of a client device, and I'm telling
`
`you that each and every element does not have to be
`
`met in order to qualify as a client device.

`
` So again, let's say that a person
`
`was considering your first characteristic and
`
`wanted to determine whether a device was portable
`
`and easily moved. What standard could that person
`
`use to decide whether something was easily moved or
`
`not easily moved?
`
` A I have not established a standard.
`
` Q Is there a weight limit?
`
` A I have not established a weight
`
`limit.
`
` Q Okay. You have not established how
`
`far the device would have to be moved, correct?
`
` A I have not expressed that opinion.
`
` Q You would agree with me, sir, that
`
`an 8-year-old may not be able to move a desktop
`
`computer as easily as, say, a 30-year-old; is that
`
`fair?
`
` A That's not a non-sequitur --
`
` Q Explain your answer.
`
` A -- with relation to these patents.
`
` Q Well, sir, one of your
`
`characteristics is that we're looking at how easily
`
`a device is moved, correct?
`
` A Yes.

`
` A I think that it doesn't matter. Its
`
`irrelevant to consideration of a client device.
`
` Q You are telling me that a person's
`
`age and physical strength is irrelevant to whether
`
`a device is easily moved and portable?
`
` A In consideration of whether a device
`
`is a client device per the patents in suit, the
`
`person's age does not matter.
`
` Q But doesn't portability matter to
`
`you as to whether a device is a client device?
`
` A Again, it's not a -- it's not an all
`
`or nothing set of characteristics. These are the
`
`characteristics that would lead a POSA to decide
`
`that a device that they are examining is a client
`
`device or is a server device.
`
` Q Sir, I did not just ask whether it's
`
`all or nothing.
`
` I asked whether it's important to
`
`you to determine whether a device is portable,
`
`easily moved in order to determine whether it's a
`
`client device?
`
