`Declaration of Dr. Alex Kattamis
`IPR of USP 7,995,047
`
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1. My name is Alex Kattamis. I make this declaration based upon my own
`
`personal knowledge and, if called upon to testify, would testify competently to the
`
`matters contained herein.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am over the age of 21 and am competent to make this declaration.
`
`I have been retained by Baker Botts LLP on behalf of Samsung to
`
`provide technical assistance in the inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,995,047,
`
`which I may abbreviate as “the ’047 Patent” or refer to as the “Challenged
`
`Patent.” This declaration is a statement of my opinions on issues related to the
`
`unpatentability of claims of the Challenged Patent.
`
`4.
`
`I am a salaried employee of Exponent. Exponent charges $495 per hour
`
`for my time plus expenses for work performed in connection with this project. I have
`
`received no additional compensation for work in this case, and my compensation
`
`does not depend upon the contents of this report, any testimony I may provide, or
`
`the ultimate outcome of the case.
`
`II. EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
`
`5.
`
`In formulating my opinions, I have relied upon my knowledge, training,
`
`and experience in the relevant art. My qualifications are stated more fully in my
`
`curriculum vitae, which has been provided as Appendix A. My CV also lists
`
`publications on which I am a named author and identifies parties on behalf of whom
`

`
`SAMSUNG, EXH. 1002, P. 8
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Alex Kattamis
`IPR of USP 7,995,047
`
`I have previously provided expert testimony within the past four years. Here, I
`
`provide a brief summary of my qualifications.
`
`6.
`
`I am a Senior Managing Engineer in Exponent’s Electrical Engineering
`
`and Computer Science practice. I received my B.A. in Electrical Engineering from
`
`the University of Connecticut in 2002 and an M.A. and Ph.D. in Electrical
`
`Engineering from Princeton University in 2004 and 2007 respectively.
`
`7.
`
`During my time at the University of Connecticut and through a grant
`
`from the National Science Foundation I designed and implemented devices for
`
`people with disabilities. This included the design and manufacture of analog and
`
`digital control systems for devices including go-karts and electronic lifts.
`
`8.
`
`Before joining Princeton University, I worked as a design engineering
`
`intern at General Electric Industrial Systems. There I designed and implemented
`
`analog and digital circuits. This work included the implementation of current sense
`
`devices for feedback in power supplies
`
`9.
`
`At Princeton University my research was focused on designing and
`
`fabricating pixel circuits on non-conventional substrates for driving liquid-crystal
`
`display (LCDs) and active-matrix organic
`
`light emitting diode displays
`
`(AMOLEDs).
`
`
`Page 9 of 174
`
`
`SAMSUNG, EXH. 1002, P. 9
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Alex Kattamis
`IPR of USP 7,995,047
`
`10. Throughout my career at Exponent I have worked extensively on
`
`AMOLED and LCD displays including driver circuits, and thin-film transistor and
`
`pixel architectures.
`
`11.
`
`I am a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Connecticut, the
`
`State of Georgia, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the State of New Jersey, the
`
`State of New York, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the State of Rhode Island,
`
`and in State of Texas. I am also designated a Model Law Engineer by the National
`
`Council of Examiners for Engineering.
`
`12.
`
`I am a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
`
`Engineers (IEEE), which is the world’s largest technical professional organization
`
`dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
`
`13. Therefore, based on my education, professional experience, scholarly
`
`books and publications, I am an expert in the relevant field of the Challenged Patent
`
`at issue here and have been an expert in this field since before the Challenged Patent
`
`was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). I am
`
`familiar with how a person having ordinary skill in the art would have understood
`
`and used the terminology found in the Challenged Patent at the time of its filing.
`
`III. TASK SUMMARY AND MATERIALS REVIEWED
`
`14.
`
`I have been asked to review the Challenged Patent and its prosecution
`
`history, to provide an understanding of the technology relevant to the Challenged
`
`Page 10 of 174

`
`Patent, to review certain prior-art references, and analyze whether or not those
`
`references disclose or teach limitations of claims from the Challenged Patent. The
`
`opinions stated in this declaration are from the perspective of a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art (POSITA).
`
`IV. LIST OF EXHIBITS
`
`15.
`
`In forming my opinions, I have reviewed the Challenged Patent, its
`
`prosecution history and referenced cited by the Examiner, the materials cited in the

`
`SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND GROUNDS FOR
`CHALLENGE OF ’047 PATENT
`
`16. After reviewing the materials identified in the List of Exhibits, I have
`
`concluded that each of Claims 1-4, 9, and 10 (“Challenged Claims”) of the ’047
`
`Patent would have been anticipated and/or obvious to a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art, based on the following grounds.

`
`
`VI. UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOVERNING LAW
`
`A. LEVEL OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`
`17. When analyzing a patent, I understand that it is important to identify
`
`the relevant art pertaining to the patent as well as the level of ordinary skill in that
`
`art at the time of the claimed invention. The “art” is the field of technology to which
`
`the patent is related.
`
`18.
`
`I have been instructed by counsel that the person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art (“POSITA”) is a hypothetical person who is presumed to know the relevant prior
`
`art. I understand that the actual inventor’s skill is not determinative of the level of
`
`ordinary skill. I further understand that the factors that may be considered in
`
`determining the level of skill include: the types of problems encountered in the art;
`
`prior art solutions to those problems; rapidity with which innovations are made;
`
`sophistication of the technology; and educational level of active workers in the field.
`
`I understand that not all such factors may be present in every case, and one or more
`
`of them may predominate.

`B.
`
`LEGAL STANDARD FOR CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`
`19.
`
`I understand that the first step in determining whether a patent claim
`
`would have been anticipated or obvious is to ascertain how a POSITA would have
`
`understood the claim terms.
`
`20.
`
`I have been instructed by counsel on the law regarding claim
`
`construction and patent claims, and I understand that a patent may include two types
`
`of claims: independent claims and dependent claims. An independent claim stands
`
`alone and includes only the limitations it recites. A dependent claim can depend
`
`from an independent claim, or it can further depend from another dependent claim.
`
`I understand that a dependent claim includes all the limitations that it recites, in
`
`addition to all the limitations recited in the claim(s) from which it depends.
`
`21.
`
`It is my understanding that in proceedings before the USPTO, the
`
`claims of a patent are to be construed under what is referred to as the “Phillips
`
`standard.” I understand that this means that claim terms of a patent are given the
`
`meaning the terms would have to a POSITA, in view of the description provided in
`
`the patent itself and the patent’s file history.
`
`22.
`
`I understand that to determine how a person of ordinary skill would
`
`understand a claim term, one should look to those sources available that show what
`
`a person of skill in the art would have understood the disputed claim language to
`
`mean. I understand that, in construing a claim term, one looks primarily to the
`

`
`SAMSUNG, EXH. 1002, P. 15
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Alex Kattamis
`IPR of USP 7,995,047
`
`intrinsic patent evidence, including the words of the claims themselves, the
`
`remainder of the patent, and the patent’s prosecution history. I understand that
`
`extrinsic evidence, which is evidence external to the patent and the prosecution
`
`history, may also be useful in interpreting patent claims when the intrinsic evidence
`
`itself is insufficient.
`
`23.
`
`I understand that words or terms should be given their ordinary and
`
`accepted meaning unless it appears that the inventors were using them to mean
`
`something else. In making this determination, the claims, the remainder of the
`
`patent, and the prosecution history are of paramount importance. Additionally, the
`
`patent and its prosecution history must be consulted to confirm whether the patentee
`
`has acted as its own lexicographer (i.e., provided its own special meaning to any
`
`disputed terms), or intentionally disclaimed, disavowed, or surrendered any claim
`
`scope.
`
`24.
`
`In comparing the claims of the Challenged Patent to the prior art, I have
`
`considered the Challenged Patent and its file history in light of the understanding of
`
`a person of skill at the time of the alleged invention.
`
`C. ANTICIPATION
`
`25.
`
`It is my understanding that the claims of a patent are anticipated by a
`
`prior art reference if each and every element of the claim is found either explicitly
`
`or inherently in a single prior art reference. I understand that inherency requires a
`
`Page 16 of 174
`
`
`SAMSUNG, EXH. 1002, P. 16
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Alex Kattamis
`IPR of USP 7,995,047
`
`showing that the missing descriptive matter in the claim is necessarily or implicitly
`
`present in the allegedly anticipating reference, and that it would have been so
`
`recognized by a POSITA. In addition, I understand that an enabling disclosure is a
`
`disclosure that allows a POSITA to make the invention without undue
`
`experimentation. Although anticipation typically involves the analysis of a single
`
`prior art reference, I understand that additional references may be used to show that
`
`the primary reference has enabling disclosure, to explain the meaning of a term used
`
`in the primary reference, and/or to show that a characteristic is inherent in the
`
`primary reference.
`
`D. OBVIOUSNESS
`
`26.
`
`I understand that the prior art may render a patent claim “obvious.” I
`
`understand that two or more prior art references (e.g., prior art articles, patents, or
`
`publications) that each disclose fewer than all elements of a patent claim may
`
`nevertheless be combined to render a patent claim obvious if the combination of the
`
`prior art collectively discloses all elements of the claim and one of ordinary skill in
`
`the art at the time would have been motivated to combine the prior art in such a way.
`
`I understand that this motivation to combine need not be explicit in any of the prior
`
`art, but may be inferred from the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art at the
`
`time the patent was filed. I also understand that one of ordinary skill in the art is not
`
`an automaton, but is a person having ordinary creativity. I further understand that
`

`
`SAMSUNG, EXH. 1002, P. 17
`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Alex Kattamis
`IPR of USP 7,995,047
`
`one or more prior art references, articles, patents or publications that disclose fewer
`
`than all of the elements of a patent claim may render a patent claim obvious if
`
`including the missing element would have been obvious to one of skill in the art
`
`(e.g., the missing element represents only an insubstantial difference over the prior
`
`art or a reconfiguration of a known system).
`
`27.
`
`I understand that under the doctrine of obviousness, a claim may be
`
`invalid if the differences between the invention and the prior art are such that the
`
`subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was
`
`made to a POSITA to which the subject matter pertains.
`
`28. To assess obviousness, I understand that I am to consider the scope and
`
`content of the prior art, the differences between the prior art and the claim, the level
`
`of ordinary skill in the art, and any secondary considerations to the extent they exist.
`
`29.
`
`I understand that any evidence of secondary indicia of non-obviousness
`
`should be considered when evaluating whether a claimed invention would have been
`
`obvious to one of ordinary skill at the time of invention. These secondary indicia of
`
`non-obviousness may include, for example:
`
`• a long felt but unmet need in the prior art that was satisfied by the
`claimed invention;
`
`• commercial success of processes claimed by the patent;
`
`• unexpected results achieved by the invention;

`
`
`• praise of the invention by others skilled in the art;
`
`• the taking of licenses under the patent by others; and
`
`• deliberate copying of the invention.
`
`I understand that there must be a nexus between any such secondary indicia and the
`
`claimed invention.
`
`30.
`
`It is also my understanding that there are additional considerations that
`
`may be used as further guidance as to when the above factors w
