A.
No.
2
Q.
The -- what do you understand the accused
3
product to be in this case?
4
5
Not in the room sort of haggling.
MS. ALBERT:
A.
Objection, vague.
It is Google's AdWords product and AdSense for
6
Search.
And then with respect to, you know, AOL,
7
there's some other sort of named pieces of that, AdSense
8
for mobile searches and other accused product that I
9
understand to be accused, and the AOL's Search
10
Marketplace, I think was the name of it, that is the
11
white label version of the Google AdSense that is
12
accused.
13
Q.
(By Mr. Perlson) Have you offered an opinion of
14
an appropriate level of damages against any party other
15
than Google in this case?
16
17
MS. ALBERT:
A.
Objection, vague.
I have -- the opinion that I offered is a
18
royalty structure and rate that would apply to all of
19
the ads serving revenue that goes through the accused
20
Google systems, regardless of whether it is Gannett or
21
IAC or one of the other defendants, and I've set those
22
amounts out separately in my report.
23
Q.
(By Mr. Perlson) Well, if, let's say, the jury
24
only found that Gannett was infringing, is there a
25
number that you could find -- that you could point to in

1
your report that would say this is the appropriate
2
amount of the damages against Gannett?
3
MS. ALBERT:
Objection.
4
A.
I believe that number is in there, yes.
5
Q.
(By Mr. Perlson) That's in one of the charts or
6
something?
7
A.
It's in one of the exhibits to the report.
8
Q.
And you would agree that the patents at issue
9
in this case do not cover all aspects of AdWords?
10
11
12
13
MS. ALBERT:
A.
Objection.
I'm sorry your voice tailed off there, I didn't
hear the end of that question.
Q.
(By Mr. Perlson) Sure.
You would agree that
14
the patents at issue in this case do not cover all
15
aspects of AdWords; is that correct?
16
MS. ALBERT:
Objection, vague.
17
A.
I agree.
18
Q.
(By Mr. Perlson) And you would agree there are
19
many aspects of AdWords that Google has provided on its
20
own separate and apart from anything claimed in the
21
patents-in-suit, correct?
22
MS. ALBERT:
23
A.
Yes.
24
Q.
(By Mr. Perlson)
Objection, vague.
25
And are you -- do you know --
are you familiar with the predicted click-through rate?
