`
`or efforts relating to any attempts to,
`
`plans to, and/or analyses of ways to design
`
`around any claim of any of the asserted
`
`patents, and the results of such
`
`investigations, analyses, or efforts,
`
`including whether and why and any
`
`design-around alternative was incorporated
`
`into any accused product."
`
`· · · · · Do you see that topic,
`
`Mr. Boccon-Gibod?
`
`· · A.· · Yes, I do.
`
`· · Q.· · Do you understand that you're
`
`being designated for Topic No. 5, but
`
`limited to non-infringing alternatives and
`
`subject to Fitbit's objections?
`
`· · A.· · Yes.
`
`· · Q.· · Besides meeting with legal
`
`counsel, did you do anything else to
`
`prepare for Topic No. 5?
`
`· · A.· · Same as for the other topics, I
`
`refreshed my memory about how our products
`
`work and how we design them.
`
`· · Q.· · Would it be fair to characterize
`
`your knowledge as relevant to Topic No. 5

`
`as also about how the products work?
`
`· · A.· · Yes.
`
`· · Q.· · Okay.
`
`· · · · · Are you aware of any attempts at
`
`Fitbit to design around the patents
`
`asserted against Fitbit in this lawsuit?
`
`· · · · · MR. BECKWITH:· I'll object to the
`
`· · form of the question.
`
`· · · · · You can answer if you know.
`
`· · A.· · I am not aware of any such thing.
`
`· · Q.· · Okay.
`
`· · · · · I am going to scroll down to
`
`Topic No. 23.
`
`· · · · · Now, Mr. Boccon-Gibod, Topic 23
`
`has a number of subparts, some of which
`
`you're designated for -- or at least that
`
`your counsel has represented that you've
`
`been designated for -- and some of which
`
`you haven't been.· So I'm going to read
`
`through the introduction for Topic 23 and
`
`then we'll go through the subparts.
`
`· · · · · Do you understand that?
`
`· · A.· · I do.
`
`· · Q.· · Okay.
