`
`7.
`
`I am a member of the American Library Association (“ALA”), where
`
`I served as the chair of the Research Committee of the Association of College and
`
`Research Libraries (“ACRL”). My service to ALA included service on the editorial
`
`board of the most prominent library journal, College and Research Libraries. I also
`
`served on the Standards Committee, College Section of the Association of College
`
`and Research Libraries, where I was instrumental in developing a re-issue of the
`
`Standards for College Libraries in 2000.
`
`8.
`
`I am an author of numerous publications in the field of library science,
`
`and have given presentations in library sciences at national and international
`
`conferences. During more than 44 years as an academic librarian and library
`
`science scholar, I have gained extensive experience with catalog records and online
`
`library management systems (LMS) built using Machine-Readable Cataloging
`
`3
`
`IPR2022-00648
`Apple EX1023 Page 5
`
`
`
`(“MARC”) standards. As an academic
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`library administrator, I have had
`
`responsibility to ensure that students were educated to identify, locate, assess, and
`
`integrate information garnered from research library resources. I have also
`
`facilitated the research of faculty colleagues either directly or through the
`
`provision of and access to the requisite print and/or digital materials and services
`
`at the universities where I worked.
`
`9.
`
`Based on my experience identified above and detailed in my
`
`curriculum vitae, which is attached hereto as Appendix A, I consider myself to be an
`
`expert in the field of library science and academic library administration. I have
`
`previously offered my opinions on the public availability and authenticity of
`
`documents in over 40 cases. I have been deposed in one case.
`
`III. BACKGROUND ON PUBLIC ACCESSIBILITY
`A.
`Scope of This Declaration
`10.
`I am not a lawyer, and I am not rendering an opinion on the legal
`
`question of whether a particular document is, or is not, a “printed publication”
`
`under the law. I am, however, rendering my expert opinion on the authenticity of
`
`the document referenced herein and when and how this document was disseminated
`
`or otherwise made available to the extent that persons interested and ordinarily
`
`skilled in the subject matter or art, exercising reasonable diligence, could have
`
`located the document.
`
`4
`
`IPR2022-00648
`Apple EX1023 Page 6
`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`I am informed by counsel that an item is considered authentic if there
`
`11.
`
`is sufficient evidence to support a finding that the item is what it is claimed to be. I
`
`am also informed that authenticity can be established based on the contents of the
`
`document itself, such as the appearance, content, substance, internal patterns, or
`
`other distinctive characteristics of the item.
`
`12.
`
`I am informed by counsel that a given reference qualifies as “publicly
`
`accessible” if it was disseminated or otherwise made available such that a person
`
`interested in and ordinarily skilled in the relevant subject matter could locate it
`
`through the exercise of ordinary diligence.
`
`13. While I understand that the determination of public accessibility under
`
`the foregoing standard rests on a case-by-case analysis of the facts particular to
`
`an individual publication, I also understand that a printed publication is rendered
`
`“publicly accessible” if it is cataloged and indexed by a library such that a person
`
`interested in the relevant subject matter could locate it (i.e., I understand that
`
`cataloging and indexing by a library is sufficient, though there are other ways that
`
`a printed publication may qualify as “publicly accessible”). One manner of
`
`sufficient indexing is indexing according to subject matter. I understand that it is
`
`not necessary to prove someone actually looked at the printed publication in order
`
`to show it was publicly accessible by virtue of a library’s cataloging and indexing
`
`thereof. I understand that cataloging and indexing by a single library of a single
`
`5
`
`IPR2022-00648
`Apple EX1023 Page 7
`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`instance of a particular printed publication is sufficient. I understand that, even if
`
`access to a library is restricted, a printed publication that has been cataloged and
`
`indexed therein is publicly accessible so long as a presumption is raised that the
`
`portion of the public concerned with the relevant subject matter would know of the
`
`printed publication. I also understand that the cataloging and indexing of
`
`information that would guide a person interested in the relevant subject matter to
`
`the printed publication, such as the cataloging and indexing of an abstract for the
`
`printed publication, is sufficient to render the printed publication publicly
`
`accessible.
`
`14.
`
`I understand that evidence showing the specific date when a printed
`
`publication became publicly accessible is not necessary. Rather, routine business
`
`practices, such as general library cataloging and indexing practices, can be used to
`
`establish an approximate date on which a printed publication became publicly
`
`accessible.
`
`B.
`15.
`
`Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`In forming the opinions expressed in this declaration, I have reviewed
`
`the documents and appendices referenced herein. These materials are records
`
`created in the ordinary course of business by publishers, libraries, indexing
`
`services, and others. From my years of experience, I am familiar with the process
`
`for creating many of these records, and I know that these records are created by
`
`6
`
`IPR2022-00648
`Apple EX1023 Page 8
`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`people with knowledge of the information contained within the record. Further,
`
`these records are created with the expectation that researchers and other members
`
`of the public will use them. All materials cited in this declaration and its
`
`appendices are of a type that experts in my field would reasonably rely upon and
`
`refer to in forming their opinions.
`
`16.
`
`I have been informed by counsel that the subject matter of this
`
`proceeding relates to the use of modulation and coding schemes in a wireless
`
`communication network.
`
`17.
`
`I have been informed by counsel that a “person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art at the time of the inventions” (POSITA) is a hypothetical person who is
`
`presumed to be familiar with the relevant field and its literature at the time of the
`
`inventions. This hypothetical person is also a person of ordinary creativity, capable
`
`of understanding the scientific principles applicable to the pertinent field.
`
`18.
`
`I have been informed by counsel that persons of ordinary skill in this
`
`subject matter or art would have included someone with a Master’s degree in
`
`Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics or
`
`equivalent and three to five years of experience working with wireless digital
`
`communication systems including physical layer of such systems, and that
`
`additional education might compensate for less experience, and vice-versa. It is my
`
`opinion that such a person would have been actively engaged in academic research
`
`7
`
`IPR2022-00648

`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`and learning through study and practice in the field, and possibly through formal
`
`instruction through the bibliographic resources relevant to his or her research. By
`
`the 2000s, such a person would have had access to a vast array of print resources,
`
`including at least the documents referenced below, as well as to a fast-changing set
`
`of online resources.
`
`C. Library Catalog Records and Other Resources
`19. Some background on MARC
`(Machine-Readable Cataloging)
`
`formatted records, OCLC, and WorldCat is helpful to understand the library
`
`catalog records discussed in this declaration. I am fully familiar with the library
`
`cataloging standard known as the MARC standard, which is an industry-wide
`
`standard method of storing and organizing library catalog information.1 MARC
`
`practices have been consistent since the MARC format was developed by the
`
`Library of Congress in the 1960s, and by the early 1970s became the U.S. national
`
`standard for disseminating bibliographic data. By the mid-1970s, MARC format
`
`became the international standard, and persists through the present. A MARC-
`
`compatible library is one that has a catalog consisting of individual MARC records
`
`for each of its items. The underlying MARC format (computer program) underpins
`
`
`
`1 The full text of the standard is available from the Library of Congress at
`
`http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/.

`the online public access catalog (OPAC) that is available to library users to locate
`
`a particular holding of a library. Today, MARC is the primary communications
`
`protocol for the transfer and storage of bibliographic metadata in libraries.2 The
`
`MARC practices discussed below were in place during the 2000s time frame
`
`relevant to the documents referenced herein.
`
`20. Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) is a not-for-profit worldwide
`
`consortium of libraries. Similar to MARC standards, OCLC’s practices have been
`
`consistent since the 1970s through to the present. Accordingly, the OCLC practices
`
`discussed below were in place during the time frame discussed in my opinions
`
`
`
`2 Almost every major library in the world uses a catalog that is MARC-compatible.
`
`See, e.g., Library of Congress, MARC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ),
`
`https://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html (last visited Jan. 24, 2018) (“MARC is the
`
`acronym for MAchine-Readable Cataloging. It defines a data format that emerged
`
`from a Library of Congress-led initiative that began nearly forty years ago.
`
`It provides the mechanism by which computers exchange, use, and interpret
`
`bibliographic information, and its data elements make up the foundation of most
`
`library catalogs used today.”). MARC is the ANSI/NISO Z39.2-1994 (reaffirmed
`
`2009) standard for Information Interchange Format.

`section. OCLC was created “to establish, maintain and operate a computerized
`
`library network and to promote the evolution of library use, of libraries themselves,
`
`and of librarianship, and to provide processes and products for the benefit of library
`
`users and libraries, including such objectives as increasing availability of library
`
`resources to individual library patrons and reducing the rate of rise of library per-
`
`unit costs, all for the fundamental public purpose of furthering ease of access to and
`
`use of the ever- expanding body of worldwide scientific, literary and educational
`
`knowledge and information.”3 Among other services, OCLC and its members are
`
`responsible for maintaining the WorldCat database (http://www.worldcat.org/), used
`
`by libraries throughout the world.
`
`21. Libraries worldwide use the machine-readable MARC format for
`
`catalog records. MARC-formatted records include a variety of subject access points
`
`based on the content of the document being cataloged. A MARC record for a
`
`particular work comprises several fields, each of which contains specific data about
`
`the work. Each field is identified by a standardized, unique, three-digit code

`Apple EX1023 Page 12
`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`corresponding to the type of data that follows. For example, a work’s title is recorded
`
`in field 245, the primary author of the work is recorded in field 100, a work’s
`
`International Standard Book Number (“ISBN”) is recorded in field 020, and the
`
`work’s Library of Congress call number (assigned by Library of Congress) is
`
`recorded in field 050. Some fields can contain subfields, which are indicated by
`
`letters. For example, a work’s publication date is recorded in field 260 under the
`
`subfield “c.”
`
`22. The MARC Field 040, subfield “a,” identifies the library or other entity
`
`that created the catalog record in the MARC format. The MARC Field 008
`
`identifies the date when this first MARC record was created. The MARC Field
`
`005 identifies the most recent catalog activity including location assignment, by
`
`the holding library, that is, the library which owns the book and is identified in the
`
`OPAC.
`
`23. MARC records also include several fields that include subject matter
`
`classification information. An overview of MARC record fields is available through
`
`the Library of Congress.4 For example, 6XX fields are termed “Subject Access
`
`Fields.”5 Among these, for example, is the 650 field; this is the “Subject Added
`
`
`

`
`5 See http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd6xx.html.

`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`Entry – Topical Term” field.6 The 650 field is a “[s]ubject added entry in which the
`
`entry element is a topical term.” Id. The 650 field entries “are assigned to a
`
`bibliographic record to provide access according to generally accepted thesaurus-
`
`building rules (e.g., Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Medical
`
`Subject Headings (MeSH)).” Id. Thus, a researcher can easily discover material
`
`relevant to a topic of interest with a search using the terms employed in the MARC
`
`Fields 6XX.
`
`24. Further, MARC records include call numbers, which themselves
`
`include a classification number. For example, the 050 field is dedicated as the
`
`“Library of Congress Call Number”7 as assigned by the Library of Congress. A
`
`defined portion of the Library of Congress Call Number is the classification
`
`number, and “source of the classification number is Library of Congress
`
`Classification and the LC Classification-Additions and Changes.” Id. Thus,
`
`included in the 050 field is a subject matter classification. As an example:
`
`TK5105.59 indicates books on computer networks – security measures. When a
`
`local library assigns a classification number, most often a Library of Congress
`
`derived classification number created by a local library cataloger or it could be a

`Dewey Decimal classification number for example, 005.8, computer networks –
`
`security measures, it appears in the 090 field. In either scenario, the MARC record
`
`includes a classification number in the call number field that represents a subject
`
`matter classification.
`
`25. The 9XX fields, which are not part of the standard MARC 21 format,8
`
`were defined by OCLC for use by the Library of Congress, processing or holding
`
`notes for a local library, and for internal OCLC use. For example, the 955 field is
`
`reserved for use by the Library of Congress to track the progress of a new acquisition
`
`from the time it is submitted for Cataloging in Publication (CIP) review until it is
`
`published and fully cataloged and publicly available for use within the Library of
`
`Congress. Fields 901-907, 910, and 945-949 have been defined by OCLC for local
`
`use and will pass OCLC validation. Fields 905, 910, 980 etc., are often used by an
`
`individual library for internal processing purposes, for example the date of receipt
`
`or cataloging and/or the initials of the cataloger.
`
`26. WorldCat is the world’s largest public online catalog, maintained by
`
`the OCLC, a not-for-profit international library consortium, and built with the
`
`records created by the thousands of libraries that are members of OCLC. OCLC
`
`
`
`8 See https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/9xx.html.

`
`IPR2022-00648
`Apple EX1023 Page 15
`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`provides bibliographic and abstract information to the public based on MARC-
`
`compliant records through its OCLC WorldCat database. WorldCat requires no
`
`knowledge of MARC tags and code and does not require a login or password.
`
`WorldCat is easily accessible through the World Wide Web to all who wish to search
`
`it; there are no restrictions to be a member of a particular community, etc. The date
`
`a given catalog record was created (corresponding to the MARC Field 008) appears
`
`in some detailed WorldCat records as the Date of Entry but not necessarily all.
`
`WorldCat does not provide a view of the underlying MARC format for a specific
`
`WorldCat record. In order to see the underlying MARC format the researcher must
`
`locate the book in a holding library listed among those shown in WorldCat, and
`
`search the online public catalog (OPAC) of a holding library. Whereas WorldCat
`
`records are widely available, the availability of library specific MARC formatted
`
`records varies from library to library. When a specific library wishes to make the
`
`underlying MARC format available there will be a link from the library’s OPAC
`
`display, often identified as a MARC record or librarian/staff view.
`
`27. When a MARC record is created by the Library of Congress or an
`
`OCLC member institution, the date of creation for that record is automatically
`
`populated in the fixed field (008), with characters 00 through 05 in year, month, day
`
`14
`
`IPR2022-00648
`Apple EX1023 Page 16
`
`
`
`Declaration of James L. Mullins, PhD
`Patent No. 9,860,044
`format (YYMMDD).9 Therefore, the MARC record creation date reflects the date
`
`on which the publication associated with the record was first cataloged. Thereafter,
`
`the local library’s computer system may automatically update the date in field 005
`
`every time the library updates the MARC record (e.g., to reflect that an item has
`
`been moved to a different shelving location within the library, or a reload of the
`
`bibliographic data with the introduction of a new library management system that
`
`creates and manages the OPAC).
`
`D. Monograph Publications
`28. Monograph publications are written on a single topic, presented at
`
`length and distinguished from an article and include books, dissertations, and
`
`technical reports. A library typically creates a catalog record when the monograph
`
`is acquired by the library. First, it will search OCLC to determine if a record has
`
`already been created by the Library of Congress or another OCLC institution. If a
`
`record is found in OCLC, the record is downloaded into the library’s LMS (Library
`
`Management System) that includes typically the OPAC (online public access
`
`catalog by which researchers locate a particular library holding in a user-friendly
`
`format), acquisitions, cataloging, and circulation integrated functions. Once the
`
`
`
`9 Some of the newer library catalog systems also include hour, minute, second
`
`(HHMMSS).

`

`Patent No. 9,860,044
`item is downloaded into the library’s LMS, the library adds its identifier to the
`
`OCLC database so when a search is completed on WorldCat, the library will be
`
`indicated as an owner of the title. Once a record is created in a Library’s LMS, it is
`
`searchable and viewable through the library’s OPAC, typically by author, title, and
`
`subject heading, at that library and from anywhere in the world through the internet
`
`by accessing that library’s OPAC. The OPAC also connects with the circulation
`
`function of the library, which typically indicates whether the record is available, in
`
`circulation, etc., with
`
`its call number and
`
`location
`
`in a
`
`specific
`
`departmental/disciplinary library, if applicable. The OPAC not only provides
`
`immediate bibliographic access on-site, it also facilitates the interlibrary loan
`
`process, which is when one publication is loaned from one library to another.

`I have evaluated the Sesia reference several ways: (1) by assessing
`
`33.
`
`Sesia 2011, Exhibit 1013, provided to me by counsel; (2) by downloading Sesia
`
`from the Wiley Online Library through the Purdue University Libraries; and (3) by
`
`accessing and reviewing the OPAC and MARC records for Sesia at the Library of
`
`Congress. Attachment A-1 is a download of Sesia that includes the entire book. This
`
`digital version was accessible to me from the Wiley Online Library through Purdue
`
`University Libraries, and was downloaded on February 5, 2021.13
`
`The digital version of Sesia is available to anyone for a fee through the Wiley Online
`
`Library.14
`
`34. Attachment B-1 is a true and correct copy of the Library of Congress
`
`OPAC (online catalog). Typically, I would have had scans of the print copy of Sesia
`
`owned by the Library of Congress, however, due to the pandemic, the Library of

`Congress has been and remains closed at the time of this declaration and hence, I
`
`am unable to obtain scans of Sesia owned by the Library of Congress. Therefore, I
`
`will draw upon the OPAC and MARC records to verify the ownership, date of
`
`receipt and availability of Sesia at the Library of Congress.
`
`35.
`
`In Attachment B-1 the document cataloged in this record is as verified
`
`by the fields listing under personal name: Sesia, Stefania; title: LTE: The UMTS Long
`
`Term Evolution from Theory to Practice. 2d edition. published by Wiley in 2011 and
`
`ISBN: 9780470660256.
`
`36. Sesia could have been located in the Library of Congress OPAC by
`
`searching for the editors: Stefania Sesia, Issam Toufik, and Matthew Baker; title:
`
`LTE: The UMTS Long Term Evolution from Theory to Practice and/or by the
`
`following subject headings: Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems; and/or
`
`Long-Term Evolution (Telecommunications).
`
`37. To verify authenticity of Attachment A-1 and Attachment B-1, I
`
`assessed the title page, copyright page and table of contents, from both, they are
`
`identical. Having located Sesia in a research library, the Library of Congress, and
`
`in a publisher data base, Wiley Online Library, I can verify that Sesia is an
`
`authentic document published by Wiley in 2011 in print and also made available in
`
`digital format.
`
`38.
`
`I conclude and affirm that Sesia is an authentic document.

`Public Accessibility
`39. Attachment C-1 is the MARC record I downloaded from the Library
`
`of Congress OPAC. The MARC format provides information about the processing
`
`of Sesia by the Library of Congress. As mentioned above, the 9XX field in the
`
`MARC format is allocated to local libraries to enter information specific to that
`
`library. The Library of Congress has reserved the 955 field to indicate date of receipt
`
`of the published book and cataloging/indexing. The MARC record is a record created
`
`and maintained by Federal employees of the Library of Congress.
`
`The MARC 955 field in this record reads:
`
`955 |b xj12 2010-09-14 |c xj12 2010-09-14 ONIX (telework) to STM |w
`
`rd11 2010-10- 19 |a xn02 2011-11-21 2 copies rec’d., to CIP ver. |f xj16
`
`2012-04-10 copy 1 and 2 to BCCD
`
`40. The 955 record indicates the processing Sesia began 2010-09-14
`
`(September 14, 2010) and finished cataloging/processing on 2012-04-10 (April 4,
`
`2012). The physical copy of Sesia at the Library of Congress would have been
`
`available for public access within one week to ten days, consistent with library
`
`practice and procedures I witnessed during my professional work as a librarian,
`
`after it finished processing (labeling and transfer to the shelf) on April 4, 2012,
`
`therefore, Sesia would have been available at the Library of Congress no later than
`
`April 14, 2012.

`41. Sesia was then accessible through Library of Congress OPAC. Once
`
`Sesia was entered into the general collection of the Library of Congress, members of
`
`the public could access the book by having it brought to either the Jefferson or
`
`Adams Reading Rooms. The collections of the Library of Congress are searchable
`
`by subject matter, author, or title such that a skilled researcher could find works
`
`in which they were interested. For example, a member of the public could have
`
`located a copy of Sesia by searching for the editors: Stefania Sesia, Issam Toufik,
`
`and Matthew Baker; title: LTE: The UMTS Long Term Evolution from Theory to
`
`Practice and/or by
`
`the
`
`following subject headings: Universal Mobile
`
`Telecommunication Systems; and/or Long-Term Evolution (Telecommunications).
`
`42. Members of the public could read, study, and make notes about a
`
`selected work in the Reading Rooms. Further, members of the public were
`
`permitted to make photocopies of portions of the works while in the Reading
`
`Rooms. Accordingly, a copy of Sesia was accessible to the general p
