Q

The file history was provided to me by the
The file history that you see before you is

double-sided, so do you remember giving me documents

9

that is this thick or thicker or was it a smaller

document?

11

A

I recall a smaller document.

12

MS. MAROULIS:

Counsel, I would appreciate

The entire file history?

We did.

A

There was absolutely no reference to Java

Q

operating-systems independent?
A

I do not recall any reference to operating-

3

system-independent applets in the file history that

4

I reviewed.

5

Q

Turning back to Exhibit 2 which is the

6

patent-in-suit, is it correct, sir, that there's

7

only one place where applets are mentioned in the

8

patent?

9
10

A

There is only one place in the

specification that refers to patents.

11

Q

Thank you.

12

A

And to applet.

13

Q

Thank you for correcting me.

14

specification.

15
16

I did mean

And is it correct, sir, that that place in
the specification is Column 3, Lines 8 through 14?

17

A

Yes, that is correct.

18

Q

This passage does not mention Java as well,

19

correct?

20

A

That is correct.

21

Q

And it does not mention operating-systems

22

independent.

23

A

That is correct, yes.

24

Q

Why do you cite this passage to support

25

your definition in your declaration?
TSG Reporting 877-702-9580

HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY
Page 37
1

A

Yes.

The important element of this passage

2

is the part that says at least one applet within an

3

application model -- module or in each of the

4

application modules, and that relationship of an

5

applet within an application module or in the

6

context of an application module is relevant to my

7

understanding and definition of applets being

8

interpreted by a host application module.

9

Q

Where do you see the word "within," sir?

10

A

There is no "within" in this, in this

11

particular text.

12

Q

Okay.

13

A

There's an association, yes.

14

Q

Can you explain how you read this last

15
16

sentence to support your definition.
A

"Application modules of the portable

17

terminal include at least one applet and each of the

18

application modules, that is each menu of the

19

portable terminal, independently performs multi-

20

tasking."

21

So as I interpret it, the applets run

22

within or execute within an application module or

23

execute in the context of an application module.

24
25

Q

Do you draw a distinction between

"application module" and "program"?
