patent, it's the bids that determine what ads are
returned; right?
A.
It's the bids that determine what
ads are returned, right.
Right. So there is no notion of -Q.
13
of predicted clickthrough rate that is used in
14
connection with determining which ads are
15
returned; right?
A.
The predictive clickthrough rate is
16
17
a Google -- is a Google specific item. So I
18
didn't -- so the answer to your question is, it
19
will not use productive clickthrough rates, no.
That would be a Google terminology.

That's what it deals with, the bids.
Instead of those things that I just

A.
I don't know if instead of but,
yes,

it's the one that deals with the bid.

So do you think that -- does
the -- does the '361 patent have any filtering
for relevance?
A.
We just discussed -- you asked me if

Q.
Okay.
it had -- if it was dealing with relevance, and I
said it's not dealing with relevance, that's what
you just asked me. So the answer to your
question, does it deal with filtering for
relevance, I would surmise the answer to be no.
Q.
The patents -- the asserted patents
in this case do not teach how to calculate a
predictive clickthrough rate; correct?
A.
I repeat the -- I repeat the notion
that predictive clickthrough rate is a Google -22
to the best of my knowledge, a Google terminology
or Google invention. But they -- so that I think
24
I answered your question.

So the patents in suit would not

infringes, and I laid out an exact specification

A.
I'm not ready now to go and look at,
when you point out to one chart in the middle of
a 140-some-page report to give you an answer for
that. No, I'm not ready to do it right now.
Is the -- we referenced earlier the
Q.
combination of -- that the claims required a
21
combination of content data and feedback data.
22
And I'm still not sure I fully understand what it

is that -- how you're saying those things are
combined.

Q.
Sure. We've talked about how the
claims require the combination of content data
and feedback data and then filtering based on
that combination; right?
A.
Correct.

What -- what I want to know, and I
15
don't think we've gotten a clear picture, of what

Q.
THE WITNESS: Just say goodbye.
Would you agree that ads that are

not promoted can still appear among the ads that

are shown to end users?

MR. JACOBS: Objection as to form.
A.
Promotion is basically the -- the
21
notion for promotion is to show in the top. And
22
therefore, if you basically get promoted, you
23
have a possibility, not necessarily, but you've
24
got a possibility of showing up in the top of a
25
screen. But if you don't get promoted, you still
