`
`DECLARATION OF IAN JESTICE
`
`I, Ian Jestice, hereby declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I have been engaged by Ancora as a technical expert in this case. I am being paid
`
`my customary rate of $360. I am also being reimbursed for reasonable and customary expenses.
`
`My compensation is not dependent in any way on the results of the lawsuit or the substance of
`
`my testimony.
`
`2.
`
`I have over 40 years of experience as a computer engineer, including specific
`
`experience with computer storage devices and embedded software systems for industry and
`
`IPR2021-01406
`ANCORA EX2017
`
`

`

`Case 1:20-cv-00034-ADA Document 44-8 Filed 03/20/20 Page 3 of 21
`
`consumer products, including BootROM and BIOS. I have written and designed BIOS, device
`
`drivers, software and firmware for Windows, Linux, VxWorks, QNX and other embedded real-
`
`time operating systems (RTOSs). I am a software developer experienced with various
`
`programming languages, including C, C++, Delphi, C# and assembly. My education,
`
`employment and consulting history, and a summary of prior testimony are included in my
`
`resume, which is attached to this declaration as Exhibit 1.
`
`3.
`
`I have reviewed U.S. Patent No. 6,411,941 (the ’941 Patent) and its file history,
`
`including the reexamination file history in which the Patent Office reconfirmed the patentability
`
`of claims of the ’941 Patent. Because of my education and experience summarized above, I am
`
`readily familiar with the terms and concepts disclosed in the patent and recited in the claims.
`
`4.
`
`I understand that disputes have arisen between the parties regarding what one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art at the time of invention would understand certain words and phrases of
`
`the ’941 Patent to mean. I set forth below my understanding as to what one of ordinary skill
`
`would understand each of these words and phrases to mean.
`
`A. “BIOS”
`
`5.
`
`I served as an expert for Ancora Technologies, Inc., in a prior case against Apple
`
`Inc. and understand that the court in that matter issued an order stating that, as used in the ’941
`
`Patent, the word “BIOS” is an acronym for “Basic Input/Output System,” which the court
`
`defined to mean “the set of essential startup operations that run when a computer is turned on,
`
`which test hardware, starts the operating system, and support the transfer of data among
`
`hardware devices.” I agree with this definition, and believe it is consistent with what one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would understand BIOS to mean.
`
`6.
`
`I also understand that, in this case, certain parties are arguing that this definition
`
`2
`
`IPR2021-01406
`ANCORA EX2017
`
`

`

`Case 1:20-cv-00034-ADA Document 44-8 Filed 03/20/20 Page 4 of 21
`
`should be altered to require (1) that the BIOS be stored “in ROM,” which I understand to refer to
`
`“read-only memory” and (2) that BIOS must run “automatically.” I disagree that someone of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would understand the term BIOS to include either limitation—
`
`particularly as that term is used in the ’941 Patent.
`
`7.
`
`First, one of ordinary skill in the art would not understand BIOS to be stored only
`
`in read-only memory, which, as its name reflects, cannot be altered. To the contrary, the ’941
`
`Patent itself requires that certain data be “set up” in the memory of the BIOS, which one of
`
`ordinary skill would understand could include writing to the BIOS (what the typical computer
`
`user would understand to be saving or storing data to the BIOS). Claim 1 of the ’941 Patent
`
`demonstrates this understanding. Were the BIOS contained solely within read-only memory,
`
`such an action would not be possible.
`
`8.
`
`I also understand that certain parties in this action are pointing to my statement in
`
`the prior Apple case that, “[a]t the time the computer is first started, BIOS automatically
`
`performs the initial steps necessary to boot the operating system” as support for their argument
`
`that BIOS always must run “automatically.” I disagree.
`
`9.
`
`My statement in the prior case explained only how BIOS typically runs when a
`
`computer is first started. It would be well understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that, at
`
`the time of invention, BIOS also could be prompted to run manually—including by restarting the
`
`computer or issuing specific BIOS commands. It also would be well understood by one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art that, at the time of invention, a user could use BIOS services to manually
`
`prompt specific BIOS operations. For example, on a Windows PC, a user could use the BIOS
`
`service command Interrupt 19 to cause certain BIOS reset and initialization functions to execute.

`
`B. “volatile memory”
`
`10.
`
`The terms “volatile” and “non-volatile” memory are well understood in the
`
`computer industry. While the physical composition of the two types of memory can vary as I
`
`explain below, the key distinction between the two types of memory is that information stored in
`
`“volatile” memory is not preserved for use after power is removed, and information stored in
`
`“non-volatile” memory is preserved for use after power is removed.
`
`11.
`
`Volatile memory can take several physical forms. For example, Random Access
`
`Memory or “RAM” is often considered “volatile” memory because information stored in RAM
`
`is no longer accessible after power has been removed.
`
`12.
`
`A person of ordinary skill also would understand that other forms of memory can
`
`be used as volatile memory, however, including “FLASH” and “hard disk.” For example, a
`
`computer’s hard disk can be used as “virtual” memory in certain circumstances (such as when
`
`there is insufficient RAM to complete an operation) such that, after the power is removed, the
`
`relevant data become inaccessible through the usual means.
`
`C. “order of steps”
`
`13.
`
`I understand that there is a dispute between the parties regarding whether the steps
`
`recited in Claim 1 need to be performed in a specific order.
`
`14.
`
`A person of ordinary skill in the art would understand that, at the time of the
`
`invention, step-by-step execution of computer processes was the exception, not the rule.
`
`Certainly, the Central Processor Units (CPUs) then in existence generally were capable of
`
`executing (and generally did execute) multiple instructions concurrently. Further, many devices
`
`included more than one CPU.
