`
`All of the materials that I considered are discussed explicitly in this
`
`Declaration.
`
`II. QUALIFICATIONS
`I am currently an Adjunct Professor in the School of Information at San
`6.
`
`José State University. I obtained a Master of Library Science from the University of
`
`North Texas in 1972 and a Ph.D. in Library Science from the University of
`
`Pittsburgh in 1985. Over the last 50-plus years, I have held various positions in the
`
`field of library and information resources. I was first employed as a librarian in 1966
`
`and have been involved in the field of library sciences since, holding numerous
`
`positions.
`
`7.
`
`I am a member of the American Library Association (ALA) and its
`
`Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) Division, and I
`
`served on the Committee on Cataloging: Resource and Description (which wrote the
`
`new cataloging rules) and as the chair of the Committee for Education and Training
`
`of Catalogers and the Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging
`
`Interest Group. I also served as the Chair of the ALCTS Division’s Task Force on
`
`Competencies and Education for a Career in Cataloging. Additionally, I have served
`
`as the Chair for the ALA Office of Diversity’s Committee on Diversity, as a member
`
`of the REFORMA National Board of Directors, as a member of the Editorial Board
`
`for the ALCTS premier cataloging journal, Library Resources and Technical
`

`

`

`Services, as a Co-Chair of the Library Research Round Table (LRRT) for the
`
`American Library Association, and as a member of the LRRT Nominating
`
`Committee.
`
`8.
`
`I have also given over one hundred presentations in the field, including
`
`several on library cataloging systems and Machine-Readable Cataloging (“MARC”)
`
`standards. My current research interests include library cataloging systems,
`
`metadata, and organization of electronic resources.
`
`9. My full curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Attachment 1A.
`
`III. PRELIMINARIES
`
`10.
`
`Scope of this Declaration. I am not an attorney and will not offer
`
`opinions on the law. I am, however, rendering my expert opinion on the authenticity
`
`of the documents referenced herein and on when and how each of these documents
`
`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 documents before on or around the listed dates of their
`
`respective publications below.
`
`11.
`
`I am informed by counsel that a publication in a printed, electronic, or
`
`other version qualifies as publicly accessible as of the date 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 reasonable
`
`Ex. 1004, page 3
`
`Ex.1004.00004
`
`Samsung Ex. 1004, Page 4 of 76
`
`

`

`diligence. I understand that the determination of public accessibility rests on a case-
`
`by-case analysis of the facts particular to an individual publication. I am further
`
`informed by counsel that the following five factors can be considered to determine
`
`whether a work is publicly available as of a given date: (a) the breadth of
`
`dissemination of the work; (b) whether the material is addressed to or of interest to
`
`a POSITA; (c) how widely the work was disseminated; (d) for how long the
`
`reference was disseminated or available; and, (e) whether the information was
`
`disseminated publicly with no expectation of confidentiality.
`
`12. Persons of ordinary skill in the art. I am told by counsel that the subject
`
`matter of this proceeding generally relates to wireless communications systems.
`
`13.
`
`I have been informed by counsel that a “person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art at the time of the inventions” 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.
`
`14.
`
`I am told by counsel that persons of ordinary skill in this subject matter
`
`or art would have had at least a Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer
`
`engineering, computer science, physics, or the equivalent, and at least two years of
`
`experience working in the field. Relevant working experience would include
`
`experience with cellular telecommunications and networking, radio-access network
`
`Ex. 1004, page 4
`
`Ex.1004.00005
`
`Samsung Ex. 1004, Page 5 of 76
`
`

`

`architectures, protocols, and signal propagation in wireless networks. Additional
`
`graduate education could substitute for professional experience, or significant
`
`experience in the field could substitute for formal education.
`
`15.
`
`It is my opinion that such a person would have been engaged in
`
`research, learning through study and practice in the field and possibly through formal
`
`instruction the bibliographic resources relevant to his or her research. In the 2011
`
`timeframe, such a person would have had access to a vast array of long-established
`
`print and electronic resources in the area of wireless communications systems.
`
`IV. DOCUMENT 1: EXHIBIT 1003 (“SESIA”)
`16. Exhibit 1003 is a true and correct copy of the electronic book titled LTE
`
`– The UMTS Long Term Evolution: From Theory to Practice, 2nd edition, edited by
`
`Stefania Sesia, Issam Toufik, and Matthew Baker (“Sesia”) and issued by John
`
`Wiley and Sons with a 2011 copyright date. The text of Exhibit 1003 is complete;
`
`no pages are missing, and the text on each page appears to flow seamlessly from one
`
`page to the next; further, there are no visible alterations to the document. In preparing
`
`my Declaration, I reviewed 106 sections from 13 chapters which appear on 107
`
`pages in the Sesia book (see Attachment 1B for a complete listing). Exhibit 1003
`
`was found within the custody of a library – a place where, if authentic, a copy of this
`
`book would likely be. I further note that the copyright page on Exhibit 1003 lists all
`
`four ISBN numbers for the Sesia textbook, including the print, ePDF, oBook, and
`
`Ex. 1004, page 5
`
`Ex.1004.00006
`
`Samsung Ex. 1004, Page 6 of 76
`
`

`

`epub versions. Ex. 1003 at iv. The presence of all four ISBNs indicates to me that
`
`all versions of the Sesia textbook share the same content. Exhibit 1003 is a true and
`
`correct copy in a condition that creates no suspicion about its authenticity.
`
`17. Attached hereto as Attachment 1C is a true and correct copy of the
`
`MARC record for this electronic book from the King Library at San José State
`
`University (San José, California).1 I personally identified and retrieved the library
`
`catalog record (see Attachment 1C). Attachment 1C and the online book bear
`
`International Standard Books Number (ISBN) 978-0-470-97850-4 on the copyright
`
`page which is identical to the ISBN for the online version of the book listed on the
`
`publisher’s website. The publisher’s website indicates that the Sesia book was
`
`published on July 22, 20112 (see Ex. 1013).
`
`18.
`
` John Wiley & Sons is an American multinational publisher that was
`
`established
`
`in 1807
`
`in Manhattan. The
`

`and continuing education students.3 The Scientific, Technical, Medical, and
`
`Scholarly division (known as Wiley-Blackwell), publishes, in print and online, 1,600
`
`scholarly peer-reviewed journals and an extensive collection of books, reference
`
`works, databases, and laboratory manuals in the life and physical sciences, medicine
`
`and allied health, engineering, the humanities, and the social sciences. The
`
`subscription-based Wiley Online Library delivers access to over 4 million articles
`
`from 1,600 journals, more than 22,000 books, and hundreds of reference works,
`
`laboratory protocols, and databases from John Wiley & Sons and its imprints. The
`
`Sesia book is part of the Wiley Online Library, where it is listed as being first
`
`published July 22, 2011.
`
`19. Furthermore, the metadata for Exhibit 1003 further supports that Sesia
`
`was published at least by July 22, 2011, and that it is an authentic copy. For example,
`
`the metadata for Exhibit 1003 (provided as a screenshot below) states that the
`
`document was document was created on July 13, 2011, and that the date of the
`
`metadata
`
`is July 19, 2011, as shown
`
`in
`
`the “xmp:ModifyDate” and
`
`“xmp:CreateDate” below.

`
`In addition, the Wiley Online Library provides the Digital Object
`
`Identifier (DOI) for Sesia, which is 10.1002/9780470978504. When one inputs this
`
`DOI number into doi.org, they are redirected to the Wiley Online Library’s webpage
`
`for Sesia. A DOI number is an identifier regularly relied upon by librarians. It is
`
`defined by ISO 26324 and is used for identifying documents, especially academic
`
`papers. The International DOI Foundation, which is a well-known non-profit whose
`
`website is www.doi.org, manages the DOI system. The DOI system allows any
`
`member of the public to enter a DOI identifier to retrieve the object (usually a
`
`website URL) attached to the identifier. Furthermore, a DOE can be registered with
`
`a third-party registration agency. For Sesia, its DOI is registered with CrossRef, a
`
`registration agency, a non-profit organization that allows members to “create
`
`metadata
`
`records
`
`that
`
`identify, describe,
`
`and
`
`locate
`
`their work.”
`
`https://www.crossref.org/membership/. According to CrossRef, Sesia’s DOI is for
`
`an
`
`“EDITED
`
`BOOK
`
`published
`
`22
`
`July
`
`2011.”
`
`(quoting
`
`https://search.crossref.org/?from_ui=yes&q=10.1002%2F9780470978504). This

`
`Ex.1004.00009
`
`Samsung Ex. 1004, Page 9 of 76
`
`

`

`further supports that Sesia was publicly available at least by July 22, 2011.
`
`21. Therefore, it is my opinion that the Sesia book was publicly available
`
`at latest by July 22, 2011, and meets the five criteria outlined above (¶11): (1) the
`
`Sesia book was listed on the Wiley Online Library website that is available
`
`worldwide through the Internet; (2) the content is addressed to or of interest to a
`
`POSITA as identified above (¶¶12-15); (3) the book was disseminated globally; (4)
`
`the Sesia book continues to be available through various retailers and the Wiley
`
`Online Library; and, (5) there was no expectation that the book would be kept
`
`confidential when it was published.
`
`V.
`
`SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
`In view of the foregoing, it is my opinion that Sesia was publicly
`22.
`
`available no later than the corresponding date listed in the table below:
