(Hearing commenced at 2:29 p.m.) THE COURT: The Court has a question, Mr. Brothers. Yes, sir.

MR. BROTHERS: THE COURT:

I'm trying to figure out a time frame.

Approximately how long do you think the direct examination of your rebuttal witness, Dr. Carbonell? MR. BROTHERS: We expect Dr. Carbonell to be

between -- probably about an hour and 45 minutes. THE COURT: All right. Okay. Thank you.

Bring the jury in.

CROSS-EXAMINATION (Cont'd) BY MR. SHERWOOD: Q. So, Dr. Ugone, before we broke for lunch, I think I was

asking you some questions about Google projecting forward with the total cost of the 12(d) application fee. remember that? A. I do recall our conversation on that, sure. Do you

Q. A.

And it was in the range of $490 million; is that fair? Yeah. What we were talking about that if you did

Dr. Becker's calculation, that added up to 493.1 million from the hypothetical negotiation or from the date of first recovery through present. Q. Right. And so Lycos would have that projection going It would know about that,

forward, as well, wouldn't it? too? A.

Well, here is where we have to be careful.

We have a

disagreement over a form of the license and the nature of the discussions. My view is, based on everything I've looked at, Dr. Becker believes

is that it would be a lump sum payment. in a running royalty rate.

If you go into that framework,

all I was saying is, is that people would look at payments over time if you were in that world. Q. So in that -- with that frame of mind, Lycos would have

the same anticipation about the value of the royalty as Google, right? A. I'm missing what your question is because Google's view

would be that, given everything that we looked at, the value of the license payment would be 3 to $5 million. So you

wouldn't even get to this $493 million calculation because that wouldn't make sense in light of all the economic considerations that I've been talking about. Q. Well, I understand that's your opinion, but before the

lunch break you told me that Google, following the running royalty analysis, would have anticipated the full cost of the royalties over the life of the patents, right? A. Q. A. What I was -Isn't that your testimony? Very similar to that. If one was in that situation, they They would say, well,

wouldn't just look at here's the rate. what does that add up to over time. Q. A. Right.

And Lycos would do that, as well, wouldn't it?

If you were in a situation where it made sense to do

that, the parties would do that. Q. And Lycos would have known that Google was going to use

its patented technology in not only AdWords but AdSense for Search and any other programs like that that came along, right? A. Well, if you were in that running royalty rate world, you

would do that calculation, but I have been assuming that the patents are valid and infringed, in other words, that you would require a license to use that technology. So I think

that is a yes to your question, that it would be known that the technology could be at least used on a going forward basis. Q. And Lycos would know that irrespective of the structure;

isn't that right? I'll rephrase the question. Lycos would understand

that Google would need a license to use the technology, yes. Now, at that point on a going forward basis, Google can choose to use the technology or not. Dr. Becker said -MR.

calculations and the apportionment factors, I'll agree with that. Q. Can we have PDX-76, please. So you remember this slide

it, but that was the calculation he did. Q. And it varied according to the number? Through 2007, it

varied according to the numbers that were in PX-64, right? A. Actually, there is a couple of numbers that are missing

because it started out as 7.8 and then 12 point something,

He didn't show those in his chart,

but if you did the calculation he did, which had too much in it, you get what's in the blue, yes. Q. The 7.8 was outside the recovery period, wasn't it,

beyond his expertise as a forensic economist's technical matter. That is what is in the back of the Court's mind.

Now, what is it that you were getting ready to ask? MR. SHERWOOD: Your Honor, Dr. Becker gave an

opinion on direct that was based upon Dr. Frieder's testimony that the '361 Overture patent is comparable to the patent-in-suit. You may recall on cross-examination

Dr. Wilson opened the door about the value of the license that Google took to that patent. Now, I'm not going to ask

that question, but what I am going to do, and what he did on direct testimony, was he said that the witness testified -THE COURT: Don't shake your head. The jury is

sitting here looking at what you're doing, Mr. Wilson. MR. WILSON: MR. SHERWOOD: I'm sorry. He testified that that patent, the He And

'361, that the Overture patent was not comparable.

criticized Dr. Becker's analysis with respect to that.

what I want to do, Your Honor, is go and cross-examine him about that. And I can do that not only because they opened

the door with respect to Dr. Becker's testimony, but they also opened the door with respect to his direct testimony. THE COURT: MR. WILSON: This is Robert Wilson. Okay. Here's what --

Your Honor, if I may respond to that. Your Honor, we had the

cross-examination, and the next day we moved to strike any

testimony regarding the Overture and Google license, and Your Honor granted that motion. So that's off the table. The

reason that was is because Dr. Becker specifically opined in his expert report that that was not a comparable license and he did not include it in his analysis. Second point is I understand they want to ask about Lycos and an Overture agreement. That agreement, both of the

experts considered and both of them concluded that that was also not a comparable license agreement. So we have a

situation here, Your Honor, where he is saying, well, he criticized the rate. Well, he criticized the rate based on

what Dr. Becker relied on in order to obtain that rate. THE COURT: No. No. No. The problem I keep having

in this case is the Court rules, and both parties somehow manage to work their way right back into something that the Court has previously excluded for some reason or another. You work your way right back to it again. To the extent the

Court has excluded certain testimony because we found that the agreements were not comparable, then no matter what he said, we are not going to get back into it again, just not going to do it, and the fact that somebody get up here and inadvertently open the door and say something that is not licensed, for either party to go back and get back into it and inadvertently reverse what the Court has said. Now, you know something? The Court has a real

You think about it tactically, just how much the

jury is going to remember of this cross-examination, Mr. Sherwood, on this point. So I think you probably need to

customary price that's used for use of the patented invention, right? A. Yes, within the spirit of what you said, it's a way to --

one of the factors that will bring in some additional considerations, yes. Q. A. Q. A. I mean, I paraphrased it a little bit, right? Yes. But it was an accurate paraphrase? Yes. This is somehow, when there is like licenses

unrelated to the two parties, sometimes you bring them in under factor 12. Q. Yeah. That is how it is commonly used.

In fact, it doesn't require that a party have made

a licensing decision based upon a particular agreement, right? A. Correct. What it is saying if there is comparable

technologies and comparable reasons why you might want to look at another license to give you some -- that has some probative value, you bring it in under factor 12.

Q.

And Dr. Becker did his analysis of royalty rate under

factor 12, didn't he? A. Q. I believe that is where he put it, yes. And you didn't do any calculation of the royalty rate of

a customary rate under factor 12, did you? A. I did not do a royalty rate because I did a royalty

payment, as we discussed. Q. Your report does not disclose any rates that would be

described by factor 12 as customary in the industry, right? A. Um, you're talking about customary in the industry. I

did extensively discuss the three licenses that Dr. Becker was relying upon, I did discuss those in my report. Q. A. And he used those licenses to calculate his rates, right? That was the basis for his royalty rate, and obviously I

had differences with him, as I described. Q. A. Q. A. And you didn't use any licenses to calculate a rate? Not a royalty. Under factor 12, excuse me? Not a royalty rate because my opinion, as I've testified,

is that it is a lump sum payment. Q. So just to connect a few of the dots here, you testified

that real world factors are very important, but your report didn't include any of the actual public financial data of either Lycos or Google, did it? MR. WILSON: Your Honor, asked and answered, also

footing economically? A. Q. A. I don't believe that to be the case, no. They both had substantial resources, right? I think they were going in different directions, so, yes,

they had resources but they were going in different directions. Q. In fact, Terra Lycos, I think we saw, had 1.6 billion

euros at the time, didn't it? MR. WILSON: THE COURT: That has been asked and answered. Asked and answered, sustained. Your Honor, I'll pass the witness.

"At the time did Lycos have a preference for one of the two models?" And then there's an objection, and the answer is:

"There were some preferences for a running royalty to create a revenue stream, but it wasn't strong." And then the next question and answer: "How about in

2006, do you know if Lycos had any preferences in licensing out its patents for a lump sum versus a running royalty?" There's another objection, and then the answer: say there was really any preferences." A. Q. Yes, I do. And did you consider that deposition testimony in "I wouldn't

I was remembering during your questioning. Q. And how did that factor into the conclusions you reached

regarding Lycos's preference for a lump sum? A. Well, just like the representative from Lycos said,

Does the lump sum amount that you arrived at in

negotiation, that they need a license in order to use the

And is there a reason you didn't do an apportionment with

respect to your analysis? A. Well, there is two reasons: One, the first primary

reason is, is that the parties would have agreed to a lump sum payment; and then the second reason is all of the difficulties with the calculation that I pointed out in Dr. Becker's calculations. Q. And you were also asked about the basis for your

conclusion that a reasonable royalty in this case would have been between 3 million to $5 million. A. Q. Yes. And there was a suggestion that somehow you used Do you recall that?

So it's really a two-part analysis.

Once Dr.

Ungar gave me input there was a comparable technology to the patents-in-suit, then I looked at the economics of that purchase agreement and saw that Google had purchased those patents, the Carl Meyer patents for a lump sum amount of $3.55 million.

negotiation. Q. Okay. And did that factor into your opinion regarding

the use of the Carl Meyer agreement in the context of the hypothetical negotiation? A. Well, it meant that two parties had -- it is called an

arm's length, so it meant that two parties had negotiated and that was the outcome of the negotiations. So that was the

value both parties put on that license agreement. Q. You were also asked about the charts from the draft

all get along together.

At this point plaintiffs wish to make a Rule 50 motion with regard to the case that defendants have submitted, specifically with regard to defendant's invalidity and laches case. As the Court knows, that under Rule 50, JMOL may be granted when a party has been fully heard on the issue, there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for the jury to find in that issue. With regard to the invalidity defense,

we believe that defendants cannot satisfy this clear and convincing burden regarding proof of either anticipation or obviousness, or another defense that was pled, of which no evidence has been submitted, and that relates to the lack of written description. With regard to anticipation, Dr. Ungar asserted two

prior art references; the Bowman and the Culliss references. To show a claim is invalid for anticipation, that single prior art reference must expressly or inherently disclose each claim limitation. With regard to Bowman, defendants have not proved by clear and convincing evidence that Bowman disclosed the content, combining and filtering of both the '420 and the '664 patents. In fact, Dr. Ungar admitted that Bowman ranks

and that filtering itself does not appear in the Bowman patent and that he said ranking and filtering are different. Likewise, with regard to Culliss, there is no evidence, clear and convincing evidence that Culliss discloses the content, combining the filtering limitations in the asserted claims. Culliss considered, was considered or

rejected by the patent office, and Dr. Ungar admitted that under his view, Culliss does not invalidate the asserted claims. With regard to obviousness, Ungar, Dr. Ungar failed to set forth sufficient clear and convincing evidence to show, consistent with -- as regarded by Federal Circuit precedent, they must prove by clear and convincing evidence that a person of ordinary skill of art in the field of the invention, who knew the prior art at the time, would have come up with the invention disclosed by the asserted claims. And Dr. Ungar never connected up the pieces of prior art that

He put up the five, the Lascara, the Rose

He never explained how those used in combination

with each other rendered the asserted patents obvious. Instead, he went and just referenced it and said, oh, it's obvious. Obviousness requires a combination. So there is no

evidence, let alone any clear and convincing evidence, that those combination of either Fab, Rose, Webhound, even in conjunction with Bowman and Culliss, render the claims' obviousness. He also admitted that he had not tested the asserted obvious combinations or any asserted obvious combinations to get the same results of the patents-in-suit. And the Federal

Circuit requires that before something can be found obvious, there must be testing to show that the alleged obvious combinations result in the same teachings and the same effect of the asserted claims. And in the absence of such evidence,

we believe JMOL is appropriate. With regard to defendant's pled defense of lack of written description, defendants have provided absolutely no evidence to support that affirmative defense. and they have abandoned it here at trial. I also believe that JMOL is appropriate because Dr. Ungar failed to follow the Court's claim construction ruling in six aspects, and because he failed to follow the Court's claim construction ruling, his testimony is They pled it

First, with regard to scanning a network, his He

interpreted scanning a network to essentially mean spidering, which this Court said was not that interpretation. And although he was careful not to use the term "spidering," he admitted during his testimony he had no other opinions for scanning a network that did not include what spidering was because that is all he disclosed in his report. He said in his testimony, all it could be is scanning of information on the Internet, which is the same thing as spidering. Dr. Ungar testified, his construction of

collaborative feedback data, it was inconsistent with this Court's claim construction. He improperly read in the mind

pools limitation of other nonasserted claims to try and interpret and limit the meaning of collaborative feedback data. Mind pools were a different embodiment in the claims And Dr. Ungar's repeated

references to mind pools in trying to interpret collaborative feedback data was inappropriate. Likewise, he attempted to read in claims with respect to wires, which are, again, claims not asserted in this case. And limitations and embodiments relating to wires

to limit and interpret collaborative feedback data is contrary to the Court's claim construction. With respect to the claims of the '664 patent,

Dr. Ungar improperly imported the collaborative feedback data limitation of the '420 patent into the '664. In fact,

Dr. Ungar admitted that under his interpretation of the '664 patent, as he was attempting to import that collaborative feedback data limitation, it would exclude the preferred embodiment of the '664 patent, and that is contrary to Federal Circuit law. Dr. Ungar's evidence that he offered, his testimony were an improper attempt to reargue claim construction, and based upon that his testimony with respect to invalidity, quite frankly, as well as noninfringement, has suffused his entire testimony, and we believe that judgment as a matter of law against defendants is appropriate on that. Finally, the last claim construction was Dr. Ungar's attempt to improperly interpret the preamble as a limitation. This Court repeatedly ruled the preamble is not a limitation. The jury was permitted to hear some evidence which the Court later struck. Dr. Ungar's testimony that the preamble is a

limitation, substantive limitation is inconsistent with this Court's claim construction and contrary to Federal Circuit case law. We also move, with regard to the laches, affirmative defense. To prevail on laches defendants must show that

plaintiff delayed in a reasonable and excusable time in filing suit, and that the delay resulted in material

prejudice to the defendant. And as this Court knows, the plaintiff's delay in filing suit is measured from the time that the patentee knew or reasonably should have known of the defendant's alleged infringement. The reasonableness of delay must be judged based upon the patentee's knowledge at the time of the delay, and there is no evidence that the defendants offered that I/P Engine or Lycos, for that matter, knew or should have known that Google's system infringed more -- they had that knowledge more than six years prior to the date of filing suit. The one document the defendants introduced into evidence, Plaintiff's Exhibit 176, which was referenced by Mr. Alferness, that was a document the plaintiffs had -- I'm sorry, the defendants had previously identified as a laches-related document. It is from July 2005. He said that it

contained inaccurate description of Google's AdWords system and that one could not rely upon that document to understand how the system worked. Thus, there is no evidence whatsoever That fact in and

But defendants must also show, even if there was evidence that Lycos knew or should have known prior to

There is no showing that Google or any of the other defendants had any monetary losses that could have been prevented by an earlier suit, because that loss must be caused by a change in the economic position with the alleged infringer during the period of delay. Not only was there no There has been no showing on either

period of delay, the evidence is that Google would have been done doing what it was doing all along. So there is

absolutely no evidence of economic prejudice on the record. Likewise, there is no evidence of evidentiary prejudice such as the death of a key witness or other loss of evidence. Finally, again moves for judgment as a matter of law on the damages testimony that it has just heard from Dr. Ugone. Dr. Ugone testified that his -- at deposition

that his 3 to 5 million, that number was based on his yardstick or his comparable result, a method that this Court has excluded. With regard to the specific data points, there is the same in October or -- yeah, October 2004 of Lycos to the Korean Company, Daum. Dr. Ungar acknowledged that was not in It cannot be found

So that testimony can and should be disregarded.

It

was used solely as the data point for a comparable or a yardstick. With regard to the Meyer agreement, there was no allegation of infringement to Google as a result and no evidence of use by Google, and as a result using that as comparable agreement is improper under Georgia-Pacific. if the technology may be comparable, the facts were completely different. With regard to the $3.2 million purchase price of the patents in 2011, that is legally irrelevant as a matter of law. It is undisputed that Lycos made no inquiry into Even

Google's infringement at the time of the sale, and the sale price does not equal under the statute a measure of damages because under Section 284 damages are measured by the use, i.e., of infringers of the patents. For example, if the

patents had been inherited or purchased at bankruptcy for a hundred dollars, that is absolutely not probative of the value of those patents. The proper measure of damages under the law are the defendant's infringing uses. And for those reasons we

believe that judgment as a matter of law under Rule 50 is appropriate. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Your Honor. So let me take

them in the order it was addressed.

I believe initially

there was, with respect to the anticipation references, there was a motion regarding Bowman and Culliss saying there could be no anticipation as a matter of law. With respect to Bowman, I believe there were two arguments. He said that there was no testimony that Bowman

does filtering because the word "filtering" never appeared. Last I checked, that's not the law. The words don't have to

appear in the reference for there to be -- for it to have the disclosure. In fact, Dr. Ungar testified at length why filtering was, in fact, disclosed in Bowman. Among many other things,

there is a thresholding described where there is a ranking value that is determined for the particular item, and there is a threshold set. not displayed. And if it's below that threshold, it is It

top values, which would be filtering as well. In terms of the content, again, Your Honor, he's testified at -- he testified at length why it does, in fact, disclose content filtering. Some of the examples are

descriptions in the Bowman reference where there is matching

of the query terms to terms that appear in the item and the score is adjusted based upon that. Therefore -- and what he

testified is that function is a content-based function because it takes a comparison of the query to words content of the item and adjusts the score accordingly. So for those reasons, the -- there is no merit to a judgment as a matter of law on the Bowman reference. As to the Culliss reference, the only thing that I heard was the idea that it didn't disclose content filtering. In fact, it does, and Dr. Ungar explained at length why it does disclose content-based filtering. In fact, the tables

that he referenced in Bowman that are updated with apparently what plaintiff agrees is feedback data are initialized with content data based upon, among other things, that he testified, the frequency of the terms in the articles that are being indexed. Therefore, that is a disclosure of the

content-based filtering with a combination of collaborative filtering. Now, there was some testimony that he didn't apply the Court's claim construction. occurred. That is not actually what

He testified at length in both in direct and under

cross-examination that he applied exactly the Court's claim construction to the prior art when he was doing his anticipation analysis. There was some testimony as to

whether he was applying the construction as Dr. Frieder

applied them for purposes of infringement analysis, which, of course, is entirely appropriate. He applied the constructions, he applied the appropriate clear and convincing evidence standard -- I believe Your Honor heard that testimony -- and said that I am looking at the prior art and applying the same analysis that Dr. Frieder did for purposes of his infringement analysis. So to suggest that he did not apply the claim constructions and did not agree that these anticipated, under the plaintiff's application of those to the accused products, is simply incorrect. record. Now, as to obviousness, there were several statements with respect to obviousness, that there was no combination that was referenced. correct. In fact, that is not That testimony is very clear in the

What Dr. Ungar did first and foremost was to

address the Graham factors, which is, of course, the most important factors of the obviousness analysis and show how the claims, the asserted claims in this case were obvious in light of those Graham factors. He addressed KSR, and he talked about the specific combinations that were -- he showed the disclosure in the prior art, and, for example, there was some cross-examination that with the Webhound reference, for example, that that did not show filtering with respect to the query. And Dr. Ungar

stated very clearly that when he combined that with the Bowman reference, which plaintiff does not dispute, that that shows filtering with respect to the query. You have

obviousness for that, and he did that with respect to a number of other combinations. If you want me to, I can go

through all those at length, Your Honor, but those would be some examples. Now, as to -- there was some statement as to the law that testing of the combination is required. law. That's not the

I'm not sure what case they're referring to, but the

law is, as I just said, is the Graham v. John Deere case, the KSR case, and he's addressed both of those standards. So I'm

not actually sure what I/PE's counsel is talking about with respect to that additional requirement. Now, as to written description, we are not pursuing a written description offense. So unlike the IP's argument

with respect to doctrine of equivalents, we can take that out of the case right now, Your Honor. With respect to then -- I'm not sure exactly what we are talking about in the motion with respect to the claim construction. I don't know if that was intended to be an

additional support for the anticipation or obviousness or what it was. one by one. So with respect to scanning and network, IP's But let me just address the claim constructions

In fact, it was on cross-examination where I/PE's counsel put up something that was not the Court's claim construction in an attempt to cross-examine him on that. In

terms of this notion that spidering is what he said, scanning a network limitation was, the word "spidering" never came out of his mouth. So I'm not sure where that comes from. He

applied the Court's claim construction, and there is no basis for that. To the collaborative feedback element, again, he put up the Court's claim construction. claim construction. He applied the Court's

limitations from the embodiments, as Your Honor knows, there were several side bars and several discussions. There was

never a statement made by Dr. Ungar that the construction was limited by the embodiments, rather, they're illustrative examples of the patents. He was very clear on that. So

there was no limiting instruction that said, yes, these are limited to mind pools. So he applied the Court's claim construction. As to

They were not. The only time wires came I

up was a discussion in the invalidity section responding to plaintiff's suggestion that the patent office had already considered various things, and there was a discussion of the final office action and the notice for allowance which showed that the patent office focused on the element of wires. there was no testimony that the Court's collaborative feedback claim construction was limited to wires, and, in fact, he applied the Court's claim construction. As to the '664, the testimony that I/P's counsel referenced doesn't apply to the collaborative feedback element, it wasn't even in reference to the collaborative feedback element. There was some testimony that the But

noninfringement argument that was being made and the way the claim was applied may not be shown in embodiments in the patent. And the testimony was that neither experts's

application was. So, again, he applied the Court's claim construction, and there is no evidence that he didn't. In

There In

fact, the only testimony and the only box checking has been on plaintiff's side with respect to that. So this is not --

certainly not a factor in the invalidity case, which is what I believe the motion was directed to. With that, Your Honor, I believe that deals with the invalidity stuff. With your permission, I would like to have

MR. SOHN:

understand it, plaintiff has made two arguments for why they deserve judgment as a matter of law on laches. First, they

argued that there is no evidence this suit was delayed for more than six years after they knew or should have known of

the infringement.

I understand that they are raising that It was

Secondly, they argue there is no affirmative evidence of prejudice that defendants have put into the record. fraud. We respectfully submit that both these arguments are Let me speak to the presumption first. So the

presumption of laches arises if there's delays more than six years after the actual or constructive notice, and the Federal Circuit is very clear that published inscriptions of the allegedly infringing technology or technology similar to the allegedly infringing technology are sufficient for constructive notice. Now, plaintiff referenced there has been a July 2005 blog post by Google put into evidence, Plaintiff's Exhibit Number 176, and this describes quality score in exactly the same terms that it was described in plaintiff's own complaint. I'll just very briefly quote from that document.

It says, quote, the quality score is simply a new name for the predicted CTR, which is determined based on the CTR of your keyword, the relevance of your ad text, the historical keyword performance and other relevancy factors." So what

Google is saying in this blog post is quality score is based on ad text to relevance and CTR, and, Your Honor, that is exactly how they described quality score when this complaint

was ultimately filed in September 2011, more than six years after that blog post is published, and I'll just very briefly quote from Paragraph 43 of their complaint. It says,

"Google's search advertising systems filter advertisers by using a quality score, which is a combination of an advertisement content relevant to a search query, e.g., the relevance of the keyword and the matched advertisement to the search query and click-through rate from prior users relative to that advertisement, e.g., the historical click-through rate of the keyword and the matched advertisement." So this 2005 disclosure prestages the same infringement allegations plaintiff made in his complaint. Therefore, the complaint could have been filed as early as 2005. Now, plaintiff's counsel alleged that Mr. Alferness disavowed Plaintiff's Exhibit 176, his blog post. Honor, certainly Google does not believe that the descriptions in its blog post are a technically accurate depiction of how the system works. The point is that being Well, Your

near the allegations of other systems that plaintiff made in his complaint. So plaintiff was on notice of its infringement allegations as early as July 2005 because the quality score was described in July 2005, the same way plaintiff described it more than six years later.

So for that reason, Your Honor, we submit that the delay was more than six years, the laches presumption does apply. So, of course, once the presumption applies, it is

plaintiff that bears the burden of rebutting either the unreasonable delay upon laches or the prejudice part of laches. Now, plaintiff didn't say anything in their presentation about the unreasonable delay prong, and we respectfully submit that there is no evidence of a valid excuse that's been raised to excuse the six plus year delay. As the prejudice prong, plaintiff said that defendants haven't affirmatively introduced their own evidence of prejudice. Well, Your Honor, that has it backwards. Once the

presumption applies, it's plaintiff's burden to come forward with evidence that defendants have not suffered prejudice, and they haven't done so. defendant lacked prejudice. There has been no evidence that That being the case, as we

referred to earlier, defendants are submitting a proffer, proffer of evidence showing that the memories have faded, documents have been lost, and therefore we do believe that defendants have affirmatively shown prejudice. However, on the down side, it is not the defendants' It is plaintiff's burden to rebut the prejudice, and

they have absolutely failed to do so.

So for all those reasons, Your Honor, we respectfully submit that laches certainly does apply. THE COURT: Let me ask you a hypothetical question.

Let's assume hypothetically if the Court believes that the presumption had not arisen of laches, such that the plaintiff would be required to rebut it, what evidence of any would you cite? You said you have -- you made a reference to loss -What evidence would you cite

memory loss or something else.

THE COURT: MR. WILSON:

Go on.

So, Your Honor, the first argument that

Mr. Brothers made relates to the 3 to $5 million and the proxy yardstick method. I think we've been over that with In fact, I pointed him to

It is clear from his report and his presentation where he evaluated each one of the Georgia-Pacific factors, and that he did testify that the 3 to 5 million came from his evaluation of hypothetical negotiation. The second point that plaintiffs seem to make is they criticize each of the main transactions that Dr. Ugone relied on in comparing to Dr. Becker's analysis, and those are the Daum transaction, the Meyer agreement and the 2011 sale, as you heard. Plaintiff has this exactly opposite. everything upside down. They turn They had crossed

to, for instance, in the Daum transaction in 2004, that involved the patents-in-suit. The Carl Meyer transaction,

that is a licensed -- or a purchase of comparable technology that involves Google, one of the parties in suit. And similarly, the 2011 transaction involves, again, the patents-in-suit and the purchase and sale agreement. that's exactly what the Federal Circuit says that experts should be relying on in reference to licenses or purchase transactions that are pulled out that go beyond the scope of the parties and the patents that are involved in the case. So, you know, more than being just not a basis for JMOL on their part, it actually revealed the fundamental flau really with their entire damages analysis. And then finally, we keep hearing this idea that somehow the reasonable royalty must be sufficient to compensate the patentee for the alleged infringer's use. And, you know, we look at the statute language, and what plaintiffs seem to be arguing and implying to the jury is that if you don't have a running royalty, if it's not directly tied to a running royalty format, then that is not tied to use. And we heard a lot of cross-examination today with Dr. Ugone, and he dealt with those questions, but it's clear that as a matter of law you don't have to have a running royalty as a reasonable royalty. A lump sum is equally So
