`
`Case 1:19-cv-11586-FDS Document 366-1 Filed 03/30/22 Page 4 of 5
`
`Q. Are you able to identify what you consider
`to be the points of novelty in your ‘191 family
`patents?
`A.
`I can identify, sitting here today, off the
`top of my head talking about a patentoriginally
`filed 20 years ago -- and you have to rememberin
`aspect.
`that context, we're talking about the technology as
`So there are three examples of manyright
`of 1998 when| filed -- '99, when|filed the
`there. And |'ilstop, becausethis is a very long
`answer.
`provisional. And in that context, the common form
`of -- well, let me backtrack.
`| don't want to give
`you too long an answer.
`But I've been involved in monitoring
`patients since the late 70s when | invented a device
`that was for monitoring brain activity from patients.
`And the key feature of that device was it's mobile.
`Back in those days, when | was a post-doctoral
`research fellow in London, the state of the art was
`telemetry, and telemetry, which described a lot of
`the prior art referenced in the '191 patent,
`typically involved short-term radio connectivity
`between a medical monitoring device and some form of
`base station or some form of modem that was connected
`
`capability, memory, display size, what you could do
`ona mobile phone. So a key part of my invention
`back in the late 90s or mid 90s wasfiguring out what
`could be done within the constraints of what was then
`
`a nascent web-enabled wireless phone. And the
`solution to that was to push a lot of the processing
`on to the backend server. And that was another
`
`@. No, | appreciate that.
`With respect to the mobile monitoring by a
`wireless telephone, what was the benefit of using a
`wireless telephone to provide monitoring?
`A. The primary benefit is defined in a mobile
`phone. Mobility. One could be monitored in the big
`outside world rather than being confined in the home
`or the gym or the clinic. That allowed monitoring
`of, let's say, a mecical data, or exercise data in
`which someone's running.
`If you're exercising in the
`form of running or cycling, you certainly can't do
`that with a common telephone whichis plugged into
`the wall. So there is one benefit right there.
`Q@. And when you're describing the monitoring,
`
`into a telephone line. By that nature, that meantit
`
`Page 146
`
`Page 148
`
`really was not mobile, in that the patient could walk
`around the home, or walk around in a hospital
`environment, but they couldn't walk around in the
`outside world.
`
`Soa key element of my invention, whichis
`described in ‘191 and made more explicit in the '377
`claim, that this is a mobile monitoring, by meansof,
`for example, a wireless telephone. So one no longer
`is confined to just telemetry, being monitored in the
`home or ina gym or in a hospital environment. So
`mobility was a key environment.
`Another key aspect of my invention, going
`back to the '94 patent in Home Healthcare
`Interactive, is indicated by the name, whereit's
`interactive monitoring in contrast to a lot of the
`prior art where it was simply monitoring data from
`the patient. Instead, there are a number of forms of
`information and feedback provided to the patient or
`to the subject, the user, to make that monitoring -~-
`mobile monitoring an interactive monitoring.
`Another key element described in the one --
`in the '191 patent was the notion that because back
`in the late 90s -- we're talking about the last
`century, after all -- the capability of mobile phones
`and the like was verylimited in terms of processing
`
`who's doing the monitoring?
`A. The monitoring is a term in the state of
`art for receiving a form of data.
`In this case,
`physiological data. And receiving itin a device
`whichis collecting that data, storing it, and so
`forth. That's a generic term for gathering data from
`a subject.
`@. So monitoring, when you're using the word
`"monitoring", it's gathering data?
`A. Amongst other things, yes. So one
`describes -- for example, today, you go into a
`|
`hospital and say, There's the heart rate monitor.
`think it's understood that that means that's a device
`
`for gathering and storing and displaying, etc., data,
`pertaining to heart rate. That is the common
`understanding of the word "monitor".
`@. And does monitoring,in the way that you're
`using the word, have anything to do with viewing the
`data? Oris it just in terms of gathering data?
`A. My apologies, my colleague here sneezed in
`the middle of that statement.
`| didn't hear it.
`
`Q@. No worries. When you are using the word
`“monitoring”in this discussion, doesit have any
`relation to viewing data that's received? Or is it
`just the process of gathering data?

`
`on
`
`A. Certainly is not just. No, itis not just
`the process of gathering data.
`It can be reviewed;
`often is reviewed. Doesn't have to be reviewed, but
`typically is reviewed. Either by the user himself,
`because what's the point of gathering data if you
`can't see it in some instances? Other cases,it
`might be reviewed by a physician, it might be
`reviewed later on by the patient afterit's been
`stored, it might be reviewed by another third party
`such as a fitness coach.
`
`Q. And -- okay, that's helpful.
`And when you're talking about the third
`element that you identified, that the capability of
`phones waslimited, and so you were pushing a lot of
`the processing on to the backend server, did that
`backend server, the processing that was happening
`there, relate to the monitoring?
`A.
`Itcan.
`It doesn't have to. The -- it
`
`It could be avery
`depends on the application.
`simple process on the server wherethe data simply --
`the data is simply sent from the phone to a server to
`be stored and later sent -- later reviewed by the
`user. For example, how much running have | done this
`week? Or what does is my glucose monitor -- my
`glucose levels look like this week? It could be a
`
`toOxDOB®WYBR
`
`BoBBO
`ms No+
`
`you had retained, correct?
`| had
`A. Mr. Sagi had discussions with them.
`discussions to clarify a numberof points around
`their licensing, etc., that Mr. Sagi invited me to
`ask Philips for clarification, yes.
`Q. Andin the context of doing that, you
`created a DAF, correct? You set up a DAF?
`A. Ask me the question again, please?
`Q. Yep. To facilitate that purchase, that
`acquisition, you set up on your side what's called a
`DAF? Is that true?
`
`A. The answer to your question as you asked is
`no. The question -- yes, | did set up a DAF.
`For the sake of reporter, that's a
`donor-advised fund.
`
`|
`| set that up prior to the acquisition.
`set it up as part of my philanthropic strategy, and |
`set it up first to receive some - abouta haifa
`million dollars of low basis stock. Also
`
`subsequently usedit to receive the -- to receive
`Q-Tec and its assets.
`
`it was not set up for the sole purpose of
`receiving those assets or those patents, no.
`Q@. Okay. And what does that -- does that DAF
`provide certain tax benefits?
`
`NONNMN Page 151
`
`Page 150
`
`Page 152
`
`much more involved interaction whereby the server
`brings in data from databases such as other people's
`activities or other -- or normsof data, or advice.
`It could involve really complicated interactions such
`as bringing in an artificial intelligence system. Or
`it could allow, as you already indicated, a physician
`to review the data.
`
`So there are many forms of applications
`that could run on that backend server.
`
`@. And in the context of what you believe you
`invented, was the purpose of pushing data to the
`backend server so that someone other than the user
`could monitor that data?
`
`it was one of
`it wasn't a sole purpose.
`A.
`the benefits, because then somebodyelse, a remote
`second user, had the opportunity to review the data.
`Clearly, if the patient is wandering around in the
`outside world or is home, it doesn't necessarily
`allow the physician to review it. By putting it into
`a server, it enables a physician or someone else to
`review it. That wasn't the sole purpose of any of
`it. Just one of the benefits.
`
`Q@. At some point, you -- we can take this
`exhibit down -- at some point, you had discussions
`with Philips about them acquiring the patents that
`
`A. The donor-advised fund is a means by which
`one can make donations to charitable entities from
`
`low basis stock or other such assets without paying
`capital gains. So, yes, it does provide tax benefits
`in that if | had sold my stock and donated the
`fund -- donated the proceeds, ''d have to pay capital
`gains in the same wayif | had sold the patents and
`then donated the proceeds, | would have to pay
`capital gains. So as a tax strategy,it is well
`knownthatit's beneficial to donate low basis stock
`
`prior to sale to avoid paying tax, and rather to use
`that moneyinstead for charitable purposes, which is
`what I chose to do.
`
`Q@. And is that what happened with -- let me
`strike that.
`
`When yousold the remainder of your
`portfolio to Philips in 2016, did you personally
`receive any amount of moneyas a result of that
`acquisition?
`A. All right, you've asked me a question again
`which| have to unpack in order to answer.
`| did not sell the patents to Philips.
`|
`did receive -- | did not personally receive anything
`from Philips, but my donor-advised fund, or the
`charitable foundation that owned it, did receive
