`OF MARK J. CHANDLER
`
`
`I.
`
`OVERVIEW
`
`1.
`
`In the matter of Touchstream Technologies, Inc. v. Google LLC (the “Litigation”)1,
`
`I submitted an expert report dated November 14, 20222 (my “Original Report”)
`
`which provided my expert opinions on certain damages and other matters relevant
`
`to this case.
`
`2.
`
`Since submitting my Original Report, Google produced and I received and had the
`
`opportunity to review four (4) additional documents. 3 In this report I will provide
`
`my comments and opinions with regard to the information provided in those
`
`documents, and with regard to how the information and documents relate to the
`
`analysis and opinions I set forth in my Original Report.
`
`3.
`
`This report supplements my opinions as presented in my Original Report based on
`
`certain new information that has become available since the date of that report. I
`
`may further supplement my opinions in light of any additional information that may
`
`become available prior to, or during, trial.
`
`II.
`
`QUALIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION CONSIDERED
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`In my Original Report, I provided a detailed summary of my experience.
`
`In arriving at the conclusions outlined below, I have based my opinions in this case
`
`on my extensive experience with damages analysis, patent valuation, negotiations,
`
`
`1 Complaint for Patent Infringement, June 4, 2021 (the “Complaint”).

`

`
`documents, deposition testimony, and pleadings produced to date by Touchstream
`

`
`documents identified in Exhibit 2 to my Original Report and Exhibit 22 to this
`
`report.
`
`III.
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL OPINIONS
`
`A.
`
`Additional Documents Provided by Google on Usage Data are Unreliable,
`Inconsistent and Contain Limitations
`
`6.
`
`Since the submission of my Original Report, I have received and had the
`
`opportunity to review the following four (4) documents relating to usage data:
`
`• GOOG-TST-00217555
`
`• GOOG-TST-00217556
`
`• GOOG-TST-00217557
`
`• GOOG-TST-00217567
`
`7.
`
`In addition to the documents listed above, I have also received and reviewed the
`
`Responses to Plaintiff Touchstream Technologies, Inc.’s Interrogatories (Nos. 7-8,
`
`13), dated December 1, 2022.
`
`8.
`
`The documents listed above, specifically the four (4) documents produced by
`
`Google relating to usage data, are unreliable, inconsistent, and contain limitations.
`
`I address each of these documents individually below.

`
`
`
`i. GOOG-TST-00217555
`
`9.
`
`GOOG-TST-00217555 appears to be an Excel spreadsheet file containing “WT
`
`hours” data for June 2013 through October 2022. The file contains rows and
`
`columns that contain amounts corresponding to dates from June 2013 through
`
`October 2022. It is unclear what the amounts under “YM US WT hours” and “YTV
`
`US WT hours” represent. There is also no description of what the amounts under
`
`“Overall US WT hours” represent.
`
`10.
`
`Google does not provide any description as to the context or definition of the terms
`
`used in this document or in any of its Responses to Interrogatories. Google also
`
`does not identify whether these amounts relate to casting, or to non-casting, or to
`
`what devices, services or applications the “Overall” category includes.
`
`11.
`
`It is my assumption that these amounts relate to YouTube Watch Time hours and/or
`
`YouTube TV Watch Time hours, but the document does not provide sufficient or
`
`complete data to apply to my analysis. For example, in July 2015, the document
`
`reports 28 “YTV US WT hours,” 162 “YM US WT hours” and 3.1 billion “Overall
`
`US WT hours.” Furthermore, it is impossible to reconcile the relatively small
`
`number of 28 “YTV US WT hours” and 162 “YM US WT hours” with the
`
`3.1 billion “Overall US WT hours.” I cannot determine what these metrics represent
`
`without making unfounded assumptions.
`
`12.
`
`The information included in GOOG-TST-00217555 does not include, for example,
`
`casting versus non-casting usage and revenues associated with casting versus non-
`
`casting usage on cast-enabled Alphabet applications.

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 185-3 Filed 01/19/23 Page 7 of 24
`
`
`
`13. Without further explanation or detail, I cannot verify the relevancy of this data to
`
`determine whether the data may be, or may not be, appropriate for my intended use
`
`in conducting analysis. The completeness of the data, in other words, whether the
`
`data has missing values or missing data records, cannot be assessed without
`
`understanding what amounts are included in the “Overall” category.
`
`14.
`
`Furthermore, I am limited in comparing or analyzing this data against previously
`
`produced documents due to the lack of consistency in the metrics (column headers)
`
`used. For example, Google produced documents provide data usage in terms of
`
`“playback_min,” 4 “num_playback_seconds,” 5 “total_app_time_hours,” 6 “per_
`
`device_playback_hours,” 7 “total_playback_time_hours,” 8 “playback_per_day_
`
`minutes,” 9 and “MPD.”10 Without an explanation of the definition of these metrics,
`
`it is not clear whether a playback min or app time includes active usage time only
`
`or idle usage time as well. It is also not clear whether metrics such as
`
`“playback_per_day_minutes” or “MPD” represent actual minutes per day or
`
`average minutes per day.
`
`15.
`
`The metrics and the way in which the metrics are measured can significantly skew
`
`the resulting data. As an example, an episode of a TV show may be casted from a
`
`mobile device to an AndroidTV. The viewers may watch successive episodes which
`
`are automatically played after the first casted episode. One way to measure casting

`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 185-3 Filed 01/19/23 Page 8 of 24
`
`
`
`minutes in this example would be to include from the start of the first episode up to
`
`the end of the last episode watched given that these are successive episodes,
`
`initiated and enabled through casting technology. Another metric may include only
`
`minutes from the first episode. The resulting data will be significantly different.
`
`16.
`
`Such measuring standards may have changed over time with the change of
`
`functionalities and service offerings. However, Google has not provided any
`
`explanation of the standard or standards in which casting time is measured, making
`
`it impossible to make any reasonable assumptions with the provided data.
`
`17.
`
`As another example, I calculated the average monthly session length for Sabrina
`
`using “total_playback_time_hours,”11 and attempted to compare this to the original
`
`production showing “num_playback_seconds”12 by application for 2019 through
`
`2022. As summarized in Table 1 below, the average monthly session length for all
`
`applications for Sabrina drops from 15.15 minutes to 6.48 minutes from 2021 to
`
`2022. This may be partially impacted by the sudden drop for (a) YouTube from
`
`35.39 minutes to 3.81 minutes and (b) YouTube TV from 57.80 minutes to 0.62
`
`minutes, in the same time frame. However, the dramatic drops from 2021 and 2022
`
`may also reflect a change in the way that session length is determined for YouTube
`
`and YouTube TV. 13 In my opinion, it would be inappropriate to rely on a
`
`comparison of the newly provided usage data with other data sets without a
`
`thorough analysis of such variances.
`

`12 GOOG-TST-00217367.
`13 Based on my review and analysis of GOOG-TST-00217367, the top 3 application for Sabrina by casting sessions
`Netflix (34%), YouTube (30%), and YouTube TV (23%), while casting time for the same apps were YouTube (25%),
`YouTube TV (4%) and Netflix (0.06%).

`
`As described in the example above, I have no basis to assume that the measuring
`
`standard is consistent throughout the different applications. Some applications
`
`allow for automatic playing of related media, while other applications do not have
`
`this function. Some applications and devices allow multi-screen playing, while
`
`others do not. If Google is using varying measuring standards for the different
`
`devices and applications, without a description of such metrics and measuring
`
`standards, I cannot use the provided data for any reliable analysis.
`
`19.
`
`As of my submission of this Supplemental Report, Google has not produced
`
`sufficient additional data that would allow me to compare casting versus non-
`
`casting usage. The foregoing missing information is important and necessary for
`
`calculating with any reasonable degree of accuracy the total amount of benefits and
`
`value Google has received from its use of the Patents-in-suit through its deployment
`
`of Chromecast technology.

`
`TV”. 17 Google has responded that Sheet 1 shows “monthly U.S. aggregate time
`
`metrics
`
`in
`
`applications per device
`
`across
`
`all
`
`applications where
`
`daily_mins_per_device is the average daily time,” 18 and Sheet 2 shows “monthly
`
`U.S. metrics associated with applications, the daily_minutes per application (refers
`
`to daily average usage for that month), daily_device (refers to daily average number
`
`of devices in use for that month), and min_per_device (refers to daily average use
`
`per device). 19 The average use refers to all activity, including cast-initiated
`
`sessions.”20
`
`21.
`
`The information provided by Google in this document is insufficient, inconsistent
`
`and contains errors. Google’s description of the document is unclear and confusing.
`
`For example, Google states that Sheet 1 shows “monthly U.S. aggregate time
`
`metrics,” however, Sheet 1 includes only one set of data which represents
`
`“daily_mins_per_device.” In the same Interrogatory Response, Google states that
`
`“daily_mins_per_device” represents “the average daily time.” Google’s description
`
`is confusing and unclear as to whether the amounts presented in Sheet 1 are monthly
`
`aggregate amounts or daily average amounts for each month. Furthermore, and
`
`critically, the document does not offer an explanation of which devices are included
`
`in the provided metrics in Sheet 1 or Sheet 2.

`
`
`
`22.
`
`In my attempt to determine and review the accuracy and consistency of the provided
`
`data, I compared the numbers contained in Sheet 1 and Sheet 2. Assuming that the
`
`amounts shown in Sheet 1 represent total average daily minutes, I compared the
`
`listed amounts in Sheet 1 to the calculated monthly totals from Sheet 2 and found
`
`that none of the amounts matched for the provided period. In other words, there are
`
`discrepancies between the numbers provided in each of the sheets.
`
`23.
`
`For example, the aggregate “daily_mins_per_device” across all applications is
`
`167.74 minutes for November 2020 according to Sheet 1. According to Sheet 2 the
`
`total for the same time period is 93.98 minutes.
`
`24.
`
`Furthermore, and critically, it is unclear which Google TV and Android TV devices
`
`are included in the provided metrics.
`
`25.
`
`In addition, the metric used in this document, “daily_mins_per_device,” is not
`
`consistently used in other produced documents which limits my ability to compare
`
`and analyze across documents.
`
`26.
`
`The conflicting amounts in the metrics provided by Google show the lack of
`
`accuracy of this information. Also, the completeness of the data cannot be
`
`determined given the lack of explanation of devices, services, or applications
`
`considered in the amounts in Sheet 1. Without further explanation or detail, I am
`
`limited in comparing or analyzing this data against previously produced documents
`
`due to the lack of consistency in the metrics used.

`
`This information provided by Google is unreliable for calculating with any

`
`from its use of the Patents-in-suit through its deployment of Chromecast technology.
`
`iii. GOOG-TST-00217557
`
`28.
`
`GOOG-TST-00217557 appears to show device and application usage metrics by
`
`product and device type. Data is included from March 2015 through November 1,
`
`2022. Google does not provide any description of the context or any definition of
`
`the terms that are used, in this document or in any Responses to Interrogatories.
`
`Google also does not identify whether these amounts relate to casting versus non-
`
`casting, or U.S. versus Worldwide. Furthermore, the information provided in this
`
`document is lacking in context, is inconsistent, and is therefore unreliable.
`
`29.
`
`For example, the provided data contains several outliers which significantly skews
`
`the data. Critically, this also puts into question and raises doubts about the reliability
`
`of the accuracy of the dataset as whole. As one example, noted in Table 2 below,
`
`the annual average total app time for the 2017VIZIOTV ranged between 320 to 870
`
`hours in 2017 through 2022. However, the average app time hour in 2019 was 7.69
`
`trillion hours which is equivalent to 877 million years of app time.

`
`
`
`30.
`
`There are also entries which appear to be duplicative or incorrect. For example, the
`
`Vizio TV products report significant larger hours compared to the more than 2,000
`
`other products included in this document and appear to have duplicate categoric
`
`fields. For example, there are differing values for each month for both “2018 VIZIO
`
`TV” and “2018VIZIOTV.” It is not clear if these amounts are intentional and
`
`should be additive or if they are duplicative and should deducted. Therefore I
`
`cannot see how it would be possible for anyone to draw valid and reliable
`
`conclusions from the data provided in GOOG-TST-00217557.
`
`31.
`
`These outliers put into question the validity and accuracy of the entire data set, as
`
`it makes it likely that there are no quality checks, and there may be unaccounted
`
`outliers further skewing the data.
`
`32.
`
`Furthermore, an explanation of the listed metrics is necessary for my analysis of
`
`Google’s use of the Chromecast technology. There is no explanation of the
`
`definition or method in which of “app_time” versus “playback time” was measured
`
`within the context of functionally different devices and products. It is unclear how
`
`the range of devices are interpreting and measuring these metrics.
`
`33.
`
`Given the issues identified above, it is not possible to determine the accuracy and
`
`completeness of this data. Without further explanation or details on what is being
`
`displayed, I am limited in my ability to compare or analyze this data against
`
`previously produced documents, due to the lack of consistency in the metrics used
`
`to measure data usage. The stated deficiencies prevent further usefulness of this
`
`information in any such analysis.

`
`Furthermore, in attempting to interpret the new data produced by Google and the
`
`intended meaning of the various column headers, it also became apparent that
`
`Google’s decisions about how to aggregate and organize the data could materially
`
`skew the results that could be obtained if one were to compare data that was
`
`purported to reflect cast time as compared to data that was purported to reflect
`
`application time. I have detailed some of these issues below:
`
`• Google has not provided any details about how it determines the start or end
`
`time of a casting session, or the length of a casting session. Using
`
`YouTube/YouTube Music as an example, a user searches for content on
`
`their smartphone, selects content to be cast, selects the cast button on the
`
`phone, and then selects the target Chromecast device which displays or
`
`plays the content using the technology covered by Touchstream’s patents.
`
`Typically, after the selected content is played, additional related content will
`
`be displayed or played, and Google generates revenue from the sale of
`
`advertisements during the entire casting session. In addition, Google may
`
`insert advertising content as commercials within a video or between videos.
`
`Google has provided no information to explain whether the casting time
`
`reflected in the report includes the entire casting session or only the first
`
`selected content. Google also has not explained whether it included time for
`
`inserted advertisements in its reporting of casting time.

`
`
`
`• Google has not explained whether content selected with the Chromecast
`
`“virtual remote” is included in casting time.22 Google has provided no
`
`information as to whether the content provided subsequent to that selected
`
`from within the initial casting session is included in the casting time it has
`
`provided.
`
`• Google has not provided information on the applications that are included
`
`in the application time data and certain applications could result in very
`
`significant amounts of time with very limited user interaction. For example,
`
`Chromecast devices include ambient mode (previously called backdrops)
`
`which run during periods of inactivity.23 If ambient mode or backdrop time
`

`
`Similarly on devices with Google Assistant, Google provided no
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 185-3 Filed 01/19/23 Page 16 of 24
`
`
`
`selected content to a target device and, while searching, Google typically
`
`presents ads to the user. However, Google has provided no information on
`
`whether Google’s data picks up any of the search time in its casting time
`
`data. With respect to Google’s tally of application time, it is likely that all
`
`search time and idle time for apps such as YouTube and Netflix are included
`
`in application time. Similarly, there may be substantial amount of idle time
`
`included in application time if a user starts an app but is not actually playing
`
`content. These differences could result in application time being heavily
`
`overweighted relative to cast time making any such comparison unreliable,
`
`at least in part due to the fact that apportionment based solely on the
`
`difference in play time would not fairly compensate Touchstream for the
`
`use made by Google of Touchstream’s patented inventions.
`
`35.
`
`Aside from the examples provided in the paragraph above of this Supplemental
`
`Report, there are numerous other ways in which data could be impacted based on
`
`the way in which Google determines the amount of cast time as opposed to the
`
`amount of application time. Google has not provided any explanation of how it has
`
`determined what to include or whether the same methodologies for selection and
`
`aggregation were consistent across the various spreadsheet data files.
`
`36.
`
`As described in my Original Report, had I been provided with accurate, reliable,
`
`consistent and complete data, I would have compared and analyzed total casting
`
`and non-casting hours against previously produced casting hours24 to further assess
`
`the appropriate apportionment of value related to Chromecast Technology.

`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-00569-ADA Document 185-3 Filed 01/19/23 Page 17 of 24
`
`
`
`Assuming the provided data appropriately determines casting and non-casting
`
`times, taking into account the examples noted above, I would be able to further
`
`determine an appropriate apportionment percentage for each device or model in my
`
`damages approaches by comparing the casting usage versus total (casting and non-
`
`casting) usage by device.25
`
`37.
`
`In order to conduct this analysis, I would need to review data files that contain
`
`consistent metrics that are measured under the same standards. However, the
`
`documents that were produced prior to the submission of my Original Report, for
`
`example, GOOG-TST-00207268 and GOOG-TST-00217557, use varying metrics
`
`without any explanation preventing analysis with any reasonable degree of
`
`accuracy. For example, according to GOOG-TST-00207268, “playback_min” for
`
`estelle products on December 1, 2021 is 94,931,393, however, according to GOOG-
`
`TST-00217557, “playback_per_day_minutes” for estelle products on the same date
`
`is 20.9 and 7.6. Without additional explanation, there is no way to reconcile the
`
`significantly varying amounts for the same date and same product across these two
`
`documents.
`
`38.
`
`Furthermore, there are inconsistencies and outliers in the data preventing a reliable
`
`analysis. Attempting to use the produced information, given its deficiencies, would
`
`require making unwarranted assumptions, ignoring data errors, and not taking into
`
`account the inconsistent data metrics used across the Google produced documents.

`As of my submission of this Supplemental Report, Google has not produced the

`
`Google was initially requested to provide all Play App Revenue, to which it refused.
`
`Then Google agreed on October 13, 2022, and was ordered on November 29, 2022,
`
`to provide only a small subset of the U.S. Play App Revenue, for only dozens of
`
`cast-enabled content providers whereas the number of such providers number in the
`
`thousands.
`
`42.
`
`As noted in my Original Report, the revenue associated with the initial production
`
`of approximately 17 applications was $363.36 million for June 2015 through June
`
`2022. 26 The additional revenue associated with the second production of
`
`approximately 15 applications was $272.67 million for the same time period.
`
`43.
`
`The total revenue data we have received associated with Play App Fees for June
`
`2015 through June 2022 is $636.03 million.27 As mentioned in my Original Report,
`
`this amount is still much less than the total one would expect to see, based on a
`
`review of publicly available data. For example, worldwide gross application
`
`revenue from Google Play has been reported to have grown from $15 billion in
`
`
`26 Original Report, Exhibit 21; GOOG-TST-00207293-GOOG-TST-00207302.

`

`2016 to $48 billion in 2021.28 In 2020 alone, the App Store generated $72.3 billion
`
`with Google Play revenue reaching approximately $38.6 billion.29
`
`44.
`
`The additional information provided by Google is informative, but is still limited
`
`for the purposes of my analysis. The file does not include information on all the
`
`cast-enabled applications , and it is evident, based on public sources, that the total
`
`Play App revenue is significantly greater than what has been produced by Google
`
`as of the submission of this report.
`
`45.
`
`The foregoing missing information is important and necessary for calculating, with
`
`any reasonable degree of accuracy, the total amount of benefits and value that
`
`Google has received from its use of the Patents-in-suit through its deployment of
`
`Chromecast technology under the Revenue Approach.30 I have included an updated
`
`table showing the increase in Play App revenue in Exhibit 23, however, the lack
`
`of information from Google, the lack of accuracy, consistency, and overall
`
`completeness of the information prevents me from determining the total amount of
`
`benefits Google has received from its use of the Patents-in-suit through its
`
`deployment of Chromecast technology.
