`
`4 I am a legal videographer in association

`
`6 I will not be in the same room with
`
`7 the witness. Instead, I will record this

`

`
`10 not be in the same room and will swear the
`
`11 witness remotely.
`
`12 Do all parties stipulate to the
`
`13 validity of this video recording and remote
`
`14 swearing, and that it will be admissible in
`
`15 the courtroom as if it had been taken
`
`16 following Rule 30 of the Federal Rules of
`
`17 Civil Procedures and the state's rules
`
`18 where this case is pending?
`
`19 MR. CHUEBON: This is Greg Chuebon

`20 of Dechert, on behalf of plaintiff and
`
`21 counterclaim defendant Ioengine, LLC. And
`
`22 we do so stipulate.

`
`3 This is the start of tape labeled
`
`4 number one of the videotaped deposition of
`
`5 Dr. Michael Mitzenmacher in the matter
`
`6 Ioengine, LLC, v. Roku, Inc., in the United
`
`7 States District Court for the Western
`
`8 District of Texas, Waco Division, Case
`
`9 No. 6:21-cv-1296-ADA.
`
`10 All parties have agreed to appear
`
`11 remotely on September 8, 2022, at
`
`12 approximately 10:01 a.m.
`
`13 Will counsel please introduce
`
`14 yourself.
`
`15 MR. CHUEBON: This is Greg Chuebon
`
`16 of Dechert LLP, on behalf of plaintiff and
`

`
`18 MR. RICCIUTI: Christopher Ricciuti
`

`
`22 M I C H A E L M I T Z E N M A C H E R, called

`
`24 Notary Public, was examined and testified as
`
`25 follows:

`
`1 M. Mitzenmacher
`
`2 saying that some of the actual drafting may
`
`3 have been done by counsel or counsels, you
`
`4 know, subordinates.
`
`5 Q. So who was the draftsperson for the
`
`6 asserted patents?
`
`7 MR. RICCIUTI: Objection. Scope.
`
`8 Asked and answered.
`
`9 A. I would have to look back at the
`
`10 file history to see if there was additional
`
`11 information. I don't recall, as I sit here.
`
`12 Q. So you don't know who the
`
`13 draftsperson was for the asserted patents,
`
`14 correct?
`
`15 MR. RICCIUTI: Objection. Scope.
`
`16 Asked and answered.
`
`17 A. I certainly don't recall, as I sit
`
`18 here.
`
`19 And again, to be clear, this came up
`
`20 in the context, you know, where you were
`
`21 discussing, you know, the person drafting had
`
`22 them, you know, had the knowledge or the
`
`23 capability, or some phrasing that you used
`
`24 regarding, could have stated these terms.
`
`25 And to be clear, I guess we're
`
`

`
`1 M. Mitzenmacher
`
`2 talking about different patents, the '819
`
`3 patent and the '006 patent.
`
`4 And, like, I would have to go back
`
`5 and check or recall, you know, that they might
`
`6 well -- aspects of the actual drafting may not
`
`7 have not been done even by the same person
`
`8 within the law firm, even if it was done by the
`
`9 same law firm.
`
`10 Clearly, I was not there when the
`
`11 patents were drafted. So, you know, I cannot
`
`12 comment on the mindset of the individuals
`
`13 drafting.
`
`14 Q. Okay.
`
`15 Well, do you know who the
`
`16 draftsperson was when you wrote your
`
`17 September 2, 2022, declaration?
`
`18 A. I don't recall --
`
`19 MR. RICCIUTI: Objection.
`
`20 Asked and answered.
`
`21 BY MR. CHUEBON:
`
`22 Q. Sorry. You were cut off there.
`
`23 What was your answer?
`
`24 A. I don't recall so.
`
`25 Q. So -- well, in paragraph 5 of your
`
`
`
`
`
`Case 6:21-cv-01296-ADA-DTG Document 72-2 Filed 09/16/22 Page 18 of 38Case 6:21-cv-01296-ADA Document 317-17 Filed 01/09/24 Page 9 of 10
`
`1 M. Mitzenmacher
`
`2 September 2, 2022, declaration, you refer to
`
`Page 100
`
`3 something as a draftsman error in the
`
`4 specification, don't you?
`
`5 A. Well, I -- (inaudible) --
`
`6 specifically say it appears to be a draftsman
`
`7 error.
`
`8 Q. Okay.
`
`9 Have you seen any testimony from the
`
`10 draftsman confirming that he or she made an
`
`11 error in the drafting of the specification?
`
`12 MR. RICCIUTI: Objection to form.
`
`13 A. No, I had -- no, I have not.
`
`14 Q. Have you seen any statement of any
`
`15 sort by the draftsperson confirming that he or
`
`16 she made an error in the drafting of the
`
`17 specification?
`
`18 A. I have not seen such confirmation.
`
`19 Q. Okay.
`
`20 Have you asked the draftsperson of
`
`21 the specification whether or not he or she made
`
`22 an error in the drafting of the specification?
`
`23 A. No, I have not.
`
`24 Q. Has Roku's counsel sought any
`
`25 testimony from the draftsperson of the
