`
` EXAMINATION BY MR. ABRAMSON:
`
` Q Good morning, Dr. Jeffay. I'm
`
` Ronald Abramson from the --
`
` A Good morning.
`
` MR. ABRAMSON: Just make a note for
`
` the record that we're doing exhibits,
`
` doing this deposition by Zoom, and we're
`
` uploading exhibits into the Zoom chat.
`
` I have uploaded a number of
`
` exhibits including Exhibit 1001, which
`
` is the '824 patent, 9,748,424 --
`
` MR. CHAI: So let me just interrupt
`
` you.
`
` I actually don't see anything in
`
` the chat.
`
` THE WITNESS: I don't, either.
`
` (Whereupon a discussion was held
`
` off the record.)
`
` MR. CHAI: Just for the record,

` Johnathan Chai and Johnson Kuncheria for
`
` the petitioners, also representing the
`
` expert witness.
`
` MR. ABRAMSON: Okay.
`
` So as I was saying, I have uploaded
`
` into the chat five exhibits.
`
` 1001 is the '824 patent, 9,748,424.
`
` (Whereupon the above mentioned was
`
` marked for identification.)
`
` MR. ABRAMSON: Exhibit 1005 is the
`
` Carmel reference, 6,389,473.
`
` (Whereupon the above mentioned was
`
` marked for identification.)
`
` MR. ABRAMSON: Exhibit 2003 is a
`
` copy of Dr. Jeffay's -- did I pronounce
`
` that right? Is it Jeffay?
`
` (Whereupon the above mentioned was
`
` marked for identification.)
`
` THE WITNESS: Yes, that's right.
`
` MR. ABRAMSON: -- Dr. Jeffay's CV,
`
` and the reason I marked it that way is
`
` this is a combined deposition and two
`
` IPRs. You have that, Mike?
`
` So we have an Exhibit 1003, in each
`
` of those. In this case they're exactly

`
` the same, but I've marked the 2003 to --
`
` to disambiguate.
`
` Then I have taken the deposition in
`
` the -- the IPR concerning the '824 --
`
` excuse me -- the declaration out of the
`
` IPR in the '824 patent, which was
`
` Exhibit 1002, and I've remarked it as
`
` 2824.
`
` (Whereupon the above mentioned was
`
` marked for identification.)
`
` MR. ABRAMSON: And the declaration
`
` in the other IPR concerning the '636
`
` patent I remarked as Exhibit 2636, just
`
` so that they have -- they're both 1002,
`
` the way they were filed.
`
` (Whereupon the above mentioned was
`
` marked for Identification.)
`
` Obviously they're different, so to
`
` differentiate them I gave them unique
`
` numbers here, but they're identical
`
` copies of what was filed under the 1000
`
` series numbers.
`
` Okay. Good.
`
` Q And, Dr. Jeffay, are you able to
`
` access those exhibits?

`
` I'm going to be referring first to
`
` your CV, which is Exhibit 2003.
`
` A Okay.
`
` Q So according to your CV, you've
`
` appeared in many patent cases as an expert.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A Yes. Correct.
`
` Q And including many PTAB cases.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A Correct.
`
` Q And you've given depositions many
`
` times, including in PTAB cases.
`
` Correct?
`
` A Correct.
`
` Q So you're well aware of how the
`
` deposition process works in an IPR.
`
` Is that right?
`
` A I believe I am.
`
` Q Do you understand that your
`
` declarations, such as the documents I've
`
` marked as 2824 and 2636, represent the direct
`
` testimony that you want to give on behalf of

`

`
` asking you questions about what you said in
`
` your declarations.
`
` Correct?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q And you understand that the format
`
` of a deposition is a Q&A format?
`
` A Yes.
`
` Q So your role -- my role is to ask
`
` questions. Your role is to answer them.
`
` Correct?
`
` A That's my understanding.
`
` Q Okay.
`
` (Whereupon a discussion was held
`
` off the record.)
`
` Q Dr. Jeffay, you understand that
`
` when I ask you questions about what -- the
`
` statements in your declarations, that that
`
` kind of questioning constitutes cross
`
` examination.
`
` Correct?
`
` A That's my understanding.

`
` testimony, you'll have to submit to cross
`
` examination on what you said in your
`
` declarations.
`
` Is that correct?
`
` A That goes beyond my knowledge of
`
` the process.
`
` Q Do you have an understanding as to
`
` how you're supposed to respond to questions
`
` put to you in a deposition in an IPR?
`
` A I think so.
`
` Q Could you tell us what your
`
` understanding is?
`
` A My understanding is simply I answer
`
` the question that I'm asked unless Amazon
`
` counsel advises me not to.
`
` Q Do you have any rules that you go
`
` by, how you're supposed to respond to a
`
` question in a deposition?
`
` A I don't know what you're referring
`
` to by rules, but generally I would say no.
`
` Q Would you agree that in order to
`
` respond appropriately to a question, you have
`
` to understand the question?

`

`
` what the question means, you'll let me know
`
` before you start answering.
`
` Correct?
`
` A I will try.
`
` Q Turning to your CV, am I correct
`
` that you've listed about -- beginning on the
`
` second page, that you listed about 35 prior
`
` engagements over four years prior to your
`
` declaration?
`
` A I certainly list the matters in
`
` which I've offered testimony in the last four
`
` years, and we can all count it.
`
` I'm just scanning it quickly.
`
` (Witness reviewing.)
`
` Q Yeah, I made an effort to count it
`
` accurately, so...

`

`

`
` the ITC investigation, 1265 --
`
` Q Right.
`
` A -- that's -- that was on behalf of
`
` the patent owner, Dish.
`
` If we go to the next page, the
`
` first one on the page, Gigamon versus APCOM,
`
` that was on behalf of a patent owner.
`
` Q That's two. Okay.
`
` A If we go about the middle of the
`
` page, it's referencing an IPR for two
`
` patents, '978 and '828. That was for a
`
` patent owner.
`
` And I will mention those two --
`
` those are actually two separate matters, but
`
` I just listed them here as one.
`
` Q I'm sorry. Which matter is that?
`
` Sorry.
`
` A Almost in the middle of the page,
`
` sort of above the fold, page 3, as it were,
`
` you'll see an entry for an IPR for the '978
`
` patent and an '828 patent.
`
` Q I'm sorry.
`
` A It's In Re: Inter Partes review of
`
` the U.S. patent number 7 --
`
` Q Okay. Direct Packet? Okay.

`

`
` Direct Packet in a District Court case.
`

`

`

`

`

`

`
` you're being compensated for your testimony
`

`

`

`

`

`
` Can you tell us the terms on which
`
` you're being compensated?
`

`

`
` that's not a date that I have in my head. It

`

` IDS Suricata product is available, the court

`
` A No.
`

`
` A Yes, that is -- yes, it is my
`
` testimony that I don't recall -- I recall the
`
` issue, the underlying issue here, which was
`
` there was a -- the company essentially had a
`
` prior product that was accused of
`
` infringement, and the product predated the
`
` patent.
`
` And so what we said -- what I
`
` recall saying was simply that, you know,

`
` because this predated the patent, they could
`
` use this as an non-infringing alternative.
`
` Then I guess they dropped their
`
` allegations about this -- about this -- the
`
` part of the one of the products for which
`
` this omnibus Suricata product was used.
`
` And then by them dropping it, that
`
` took away the argument that I was using for
`
` why this would be a non-infringing
`
` alternative.
`
` So I think what happened here is
`
` that because the plaintiff changed their
`
` position, it undercut my analysis of
`
` non-infringing alternatives.
`
` Q Okay. Do you remember a case -- I
`
` think you mentioned it earlier -- 3G
`
` Licensing versus HTC?
`
` A I did not mention that earlier, but
`
` I think I know the case that you're speaking
`
` of.
`

`
` in that case?

`
` recollection of that.

`

`
` was that there was some ambiguity in a claim
`
` construction.
`
` I went one way with the ambiguity.
`
` The court clarified its meaning, and based on
`
` that clarification said that I shouldn't go
`
` in that direction.

` MR. ABRAMSON: Here's another one,

`
` Gilstrack in the case of Seven Networks
`

`

`

`
` this declaration.
`
` Q Well, let me represent to you that
`

`

`
` an exhibit.
`
` Q Okay. Is that your usual practice,
`
` that you don't list -- you don't provide a
`
` list of materials you considered?
`
` A No, usually the list is compiled by
`
` the attorneys that I work with.
`

`
` that there was no list on this declaration?
`
` A As I say, often it's supplied as an

`

` for purposes of writing these declarations.
`
` Q Okay. I know there's two

` numbers creep up to eventually be two more.

` the '824 patent.
`
` Did you understand that?
`
` A I think I do.
`
