`
`INTRODUCTION
`1. My name is William Michalson, Ph.D. I am currently a Professor of
`
`Robotics Engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts. I also
`
`have appointments as a Professor in the Departments of Electrical and Computer
`
`Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science. I have been retained
`
`as an independent expert by Google LLC (“Google”) in this proceeding.
`
`2.
`
`I have been asked to provide my opinion as to whether claims 1, 2, 5-
`
`8, 11-13, 16-19 and 22 of United States Patent No. 10,820,147 are valid. This report
`
`sets forth my opinions and the bases of my opinions.
`
`3.
`
`All of the opinions stated herein are based on my own personal
`
`knowledge and professional judgment and my analysis of the materials and
`
`information I considered in preparing this report. The materials I reviewed in
`
`connection with preparing this report are listed below. I make the following
`
`statements based on my own personal knowledge and, if called as a witness, I could
`
`and would testify to the following. I am being paid for my work in this litigation at
`
`the rate of $525.00 per hour, plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. My
`
`compensation does not depend on the outcome of this proceeding, and I have no
`
`financial interest in that outcome.

`II. QUALIFICATIONS
`4. My qualifications for forming the opinions set forth in this report are
`
`IPR2022-00442 Petition
`U.S. Patent 10,820,147
`
`summarized here and are addressed more fully in my resume, which is attached
`
`hereto as Exhibit 1004.
`
`5.
`
`I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Worcester
`
`Polytechnic Institute in 1989, my Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from
`
`the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1985, and my Bachelor of Science in
`
`Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University in 1981.
`
`6.
`
`I was employed as an engineer at Raytheon Company from 1981 until
`
`1991. During this period, I worked on a variety of projects that involved both
`
`hardware and software design and debugging. These projects involved developing
`
`computer systems and software for a variety of applications, including the following:
`
`air traffic display systems, signal and data processing systems, and communications
`
`systems. During this time period, I was involved in hardware and software
`
`development that included experience working with satellite, airborne, and ground-
`
`based systems for navigation and communications. From 1985 until 1988, I received
`
`a fellowship from Raytheon to pursue my Ph.D. degree, and I worked part-time
`
`during this period. I returned to Raytheon full-time from 1988 until 1991.

`
`7.
`
`I have been a full-time faculty member at the Worcester Polytechnic
`
`Institute in Massachusetts since 1991 and I currently hold the rank of Professor in
`
`the Department of Robotics Engineering. My emphasis at the Worcester Polytechnic
`
`Institute is on teaching and conducting research on navigation, communications, and
`
`computer system design.
`
`8.
`
`I hold nine patents in the fields of audio signal processing, indoor
`
`geolocation devices, and handheld GPS (Global Positioning System) mapping
`
`devices. I have authored or co-authored over 100 original articles in the fields of
`
`communications networks, precision location systems and GPS, including more than
`
`15 journal papers and 90 conference papers. I have also authored a book chapter
`
`relating to optical interconnect networks for massively parallel computers.
`
`9.
`
`First licensed as a radio amateur in 1974, I have been involved with the
`
`design, analysis, implementation and repair of radio communication devices since
`
`that time. In approximately 1976 I obtained my commercial radiotelephone license
`
`which allowed me to repair two-way radio equipment, such as public safety, marine
`
`and aviation radios, as well as act as the engineer-in-charge of commercial broadcast
`
`transmitters. In approximately 1979 I obtained a commercial radiotelegraph license.
`
`In addition, I have been involved with the design, analysis, implementation and
`
`16
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`repair of digital systems since 1979, starting as a computer hobbyist and, prior to
`
`IPR2022-00442 Petition
`U.S. Patent 10,820,147
`
`
`
`
`graduation, working in a psychology laboratory at Syracuse University where I was
`
`responsible for
`
`interfacing human and animal sensors to a CP/M-based
`
`microcomputer for recording data and controlling experiments.
`
`10.
`
`I began my professional career as an engineer in the field of computer
`
`architecture and computer systems since I began employment at Raytheon in 1981.
`
`In this capacity I worked on hardware and software design for computer systems and
`
`digital signal processing systems for applications such as air traffic control, missile
`
`guidance and spaceborne data processing. At the Worcester Polytechnic Institute I
`
`have taught classes relating to computer architecture and design, and classes relating
`
`to embedded system designs, advanced system architectures, and real-time system
`
`designs, which relate to the design of computer systems, including real-time
`
`operating systems and programming. I currently teach classes relating to Electrical
`
`Engineering Design and Robot Navigation. I have worked extensively in software
`
`programming, including during my employment at Raytheon and in a variety of
`
`projects relating to navigation and communications systems at the Worcester
`
`Polytechnic Institute.

`11. GPS and GPS-related technologies have dominated the bulk of my
`

`
`litigation projects
`
`involving navigation, communications and computer
`
`technologies. Examples of my academic projects include a container tracking system
`
`in 2003 that explored the application of tracking and communications technologies
`
`to track shipping containers, an automotive-based system in 2000 that combined
`
`GPS and map data in an automotive environment, a remote hazard detection system
`
`in 1996 that combined GPS and radio communications to remotely identify hazards
`
`to the radio technologies to determine the precise path of vehicles operating off-road
`
`during forest operations. As a consultant, I have worked with the combination of
`
`GPS and radio communications in the context of space shuttle docking operations,

`transfer of traffic information to GPS devices in a vehicle, combinations of GPS and
`
`cellular communications for the tracking of individuals, and map-based handheld

`
`art would have understood the claims of the ’147 patent at the time of the alleged
`
`invention. For purposes of this declaration, I have been asked to assume that the date
`
`of the alleged invention is the earliest claimed priority date: October 4, 2001.

`
`IV. LEGAL PRINCIPLES
`It is my understanding that there are two ways that prior art references
`20.
`
`can render a patent claim unpatentable: anticipation and obviousness. Counsel has
`
`informed me that the petitioner has the burden in an IPR to show unpatentability by
`
`a preponderance of the evidence.
`
`21.
`
`I also understand that there is a set process as follows: a) the claims of
`
`a patent are properly construed, b) then, you must compare the claim language to the
`
`prior art on a limitation-by-limitation basis. If the prior art reference contains all the
`
`elements of the claim language (explicitly or inherently), arranged as in the claims,
`
`then that is considered anticipatio
