Second, Judge said Dr. Mihran could testify even though Mr. Maltiel was not even in the court today and there was nothing to rebut. She said plaintiff could have filed a “702” (???) to prevent his testimony as an expert witness but since that wasn’t done, she allowed him to testify as an expert as to how a person of ordinary skill in the art would explain the 774 patent and discuss things about the patent prosecution history. This fictional person is considered to have the normal skills and knowledge in a particular technical field, without being a genius. I was pretty bummed about this but couldn’t object! LOL

She also granted the unopposed motion for three defendant attorneys to present arguments, instead of just one.

Woody Jameson started opening statement at 09:46. Ended at 09:57. Very well done and came across as very smart.

Mr. Cohen started defendants opening statement at 09:58 and during his remarks, the judge interrupted saying she had already read defendants written briefs and didn’t want him to repeat the same information. He was obviously caught by surprise and ended his opening about 30 seconds later. Ended at 10:05.

Woody Norris called to testify at 10:05.Direct examination conducted by Woody Jameson. He mistakenly addressed Mr. Norris as “Woody” and the judge interrupted and made it clear “the witness will be addressed as ‘Mr. Norris’”. Jameson apologized and moved along. Jameson asked where he grew up, where he lived, and a brief explanation of his education and professional work experience. Norris said he graduated from high school (ouch), joined the Air Force and worked in the “Nuclear somethingorother field” (can’t remember what he said – help me out Profundo!) and has taken numerous electronics courses and college courses at University of Washington. Norris discussed his first patent, that he’s the CEO of a small company, has 60 U.S. patents, has never been denied a patent he applied for, invented the JABRA cellphone headset which sells $300 million of product each year, is currently an inventor, has received numerous awards from Popular Science, Newsweek, and Businessweek magazines, was named MIT’s Inventor of the Year (not sure which year) which included a ½ million dollar prize, has been on 60 minutes, etc. Very impressive overall…except for that high school graduate part. LOL(TO BE CONTINUED)
