Oracle Corporation et al v. SAP AG et al Doc. 830 Att. 16 EXHIBIT 16 Dockets.Justia.com Oracle USA, Inc., et al v. SAP AG, et al Stephen K. Clarke Expert Report May 7, 2010 Subject to Protective Order Highly Confidential Information ­ Attorneys' Eyes Only Expert Report of Stephen K. Clarke, May 7, 2010 Oracle USA, Inc., et al v. SAP AG, et al TEXT REMOVED - NOT RELEVANT TO MOTION In addition, my analysis of the testimony in this case indicates that TomorrowNow created some or most of its own fixes, updates and other materials. Accordingly, to the extent my understanding is correct, Mr. Meyer's damage analysis is inappropriate because it charges TomorrowNow for a portion of the Subject IP it did not use. Furthermore, as Mr. Garmus reports, (later) the Subject IP TomorrowNow used did not include the entire suite of software at issue. To the extent the Subject IP was only a subset of the software at issue, Mr. Meyer should have reduced his Value of Use for all approach measures (i.e., market, income and cost) accordingly. 6.3. Pinto Cost Estimate Mr. Meyer next deals with the cost SAP would have had to incur to independently develop the Oracle copyrighted materials at issue. In doing so, he references a report prepared by Mr. Paul Pinto, an expert retained by Oracle in this case. Mr. Meyer states, "...Mr. Pinto has concluded that it would have cost Defendants approximately $1.275 billion with a range of $936 million to $2.903 billion to develop 7 specific PeopleSoft and J.D.Edwards software applications."249 Mr. Meyer states, "...one of Mr. Pinto's conclusions addresses avoided development costs of [between] $198 million and $573 million"250 for Siebel. The practical application of Mr. Meyer's opinion in this regard is unclear. I understand from Mr. Garmus, that to be suitable for Mr. Meyer's purposes (i.e., a replacement for Oracle software that would allow TomorrowNow to support its customers without using the Subject IP) the independently developed software would have to exactly replicate the Oracle software.251 With millions of lines of software code at issue, statistically speaking, the probability of SAP exactly replicating the Oracle software without actually copying Oracle software code is essentially zero, an assessment Mr. Garmus confirmed. In addition, if SAP duplicated the four suites of software applications Mr. Meyer references the cost of replication would confer total ownership of the software on SAP which is not an appropriate measure of the Value of Use in this case Therefore, what Mr. Meyer and Mr. Pinto are opining on makes no practical or economic sense in the context of this case. In addition, from an economic point of view, Mr. Pinto's cost 247 248 249 250 251 Meyer Report, page 191, paragraph 287. Meyer Report, page 99, paragraph 149. Meyer Report, page 99, paragraph 150.

Clarke, May 7, 2010 Oracle USA, Inc., et al v. SAP AG, et al TEXT REMOVED - NOT RELEVANT TO MOTION 10.2.9. No Accused Conduct ­ Disgorgement I understand that Oracle engaged Mr. Kevin Mandia to evaluate the "means and methods by which [TomorrowNow] accessed and downloaded from Oracle's customer support websites, as well as the nature and extent of [TomorrowNow's] copying, modification, distribution, and use of Oracle's intellectual property to support [TomorrowNow's] customers" and that he generally reached the following conclusions: 1. TomorrowNow engaged in mass downloading from, and improper access to, Oracle systems. 2. TomorrowNow made thousands of full or partial copies of Oracle enterprise application software and database software. Subject to Protective Order 216 Highly Confidential Information ­ Attorneys' Eyes Only Expert Report of Stephen K. Clarke, May 7, 2010 Oracle USA, Inc., et al v. SAP AG, et al 3. TomorrowNow's fix development and delivery process resulted in significant cross-use and contamination. 4. TomorrowNow continued to access, download, copy, modify and distribute Oracle enterprise application software and support materials after Oracle filed this action. I understand Defendants' expert, Mr. Gray, analyzed Mr. Mandia's report and analysis regarding the conclusions referenced above and Mr. Gray determined that even assuming Mr. Mandia is correct the accused conduct does not apply to all of TomorrowNow's customers. Accordingly, I have excluded them from the disgorgement analysis and show them in Appendix E-2.

Accordingly, I have excluded the customers for which there was no accused conduct from the Lost Profits damage analysis. I listed these customers in Appendix E-3.

TomorrowNow Revenue TEXT REMOVED - NOT RELEVANT TO MOTION Although Mr. Meyer and Mr. Mandia both conclude that all of TomorrowNow's activities are infringing (which would mean all of TomorrowNow's costs would be properly deductible), I disagree. Analysis1117 shows there were numerous customers that were not the recipient or beneficiary of any of the accused activity identified by Mr. Mandia. Therefore, there is TomorrowNow revenue that is not subject to disgorgement.
