`
`Mr. Arst’s proposed $60-$70 million “reasonable royalty” on accused revenues of less than
`
`$1.8 million is economically nonsensical. Rather than attempt to defend Mr. Arst’s absurd math,
`
`Finjan’s Opposition seeks to inflate the amount of accused revenues to
`
` by expanding
`
`the scope of its infringement claim to encompass SRX devices alone. But while Finjan accused
`
`“Sky ATP alone,” it only accused SRX devices “used in combination with Sky ATP.” Dkt. 98
`
`(Finjan’s MSJ) at 1-2. For good reason. Despite Finjan’s misleading argument in its Opposition,
`
`Finjan’s own technical expert admitted that SRX devices alone
`
`
`
` even under Finjan’s infringement theory—something Juniper could have
`
`easily demonstrated during summary judgment had Finjan accused the SRX alone of infringement.
`
`Finjan does not dispute that the revenues from the “Accused Products” as Finjan itself
`
`defined them—“Sky ATP alone” and SRX devices “used in combination with Sky ATP,” id—
`
`were less than $1.8 million. Nor does Finjan challenge the fact that only
`
` SRX devices could
`
`have been used with Sky ATP during the damages period. Given these facts, Mr. Arst’s opinion
`
`clearly flunks the requirements of Daubert for at least the following reasons:
`
`
`
`It would have been economically irrational for Juniper to pay a royalty of $60-$70 million
`dollars on accused revenues of $1.8 million.
`
` Mr. Arst’s proposed royalty, which amounts to an effective royalty of almost 4,000%, is
`orders of magnitude more than the rates at which Finjan itself begins negotiations (8% for
`
`hardware, 16% for software) under its own licensing policy.
`
` Mr. Arst did not apply a proper “cost savings” analysis, which requires consideration of
`the defendant’s next best alternative. Even Finjan’s own technical expert did not consider
`
`the alternative Mr. Arst used (“sandboxing” every file) to be commercially viable.
`
` Mr. Arst does not account at all for Juniper’s alternative of waiting 14 months until the
`’494 Patent expired before releasing Sky ATP. No economically rational actor would have
`
`done otherwise if the alternative would have been to incur an additional $60-$70 million in
`
`costs (or pay the identical amount to Finjan) to generate $1.8 million in revenue.
`
` Mr. Arst’s calculation of Juniper’s alleged “cost savings” by multiplying Juniper’s
`Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) costs by 359-419 is arbitrary and unreliable.

`
`Finjan cannot rescue Mr. Arst’s damages theory by changing the scope of its infringement
`
`claim. Mr. Arst’s damages opinion is unsupported by the facts, and should be excluded.
`I.
`FINJAN CANNOT DEFEND MR. ARST’S OPINION UNDER THE CORRECT
`DAMAGES BASE
`
`
`In its Opposition, Finjan fails to acknowledge that it expressly defined “Accused Products”
`as “(1) Juniper’s SRX Gateways used in combination with Sky ATP, and (2) Sky ATP alone
`(‘Accused Products’).” Dkt. 98 (Finjan’s MSJ) at 1-2. These Accused Products generated less than
`$1.8 million in revenues during the damages period. Finjan does not even attempt to defend
`Mr. Arst’s $60-$70 million damages opinion in light of the actual damages base at issue.
`Instead, throughout its Opposition, Finjan attempts to sneak into its infringement claim a
`new, third category of products—SRX devices alone.1 See, e.g., Opp. at 3 (“accused SRX
`products”), id. at 11 (“accused SRX gateways”). Based on this new infringement theory, Finjan
`
`claims that the damages base is actually around
`
` Opp. at 1. This is Finjan’s only
`
`response to Juniper’s argument that Mr. Arst’s opinion should be excluded because it defies basic
`
`economics. Opp. § III.A. Finjan’s new infringement theory fails for at least two reasons.
`
`First, Finjan’s new theory is untimely. While Finjan accused “Sky ATP alone” of
`
`infringing Claim 10, Finjan never accused SRX devices alone. Dkt. 98 (Finjan MSJ) at 1-2. Finjan
`
`cannot change course now, after expert discovery and on the eve of trial.
`
`Second, Finjan has no colorable infringement claim against SRX devices alone. The only
`
`argument Finjan advances is its contention that
`
` Opp. at 12-14, n.14. This is misleading, if not completely false.
`
` as Finjan’s own technical expert admitted.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Contrary to Finjan’s suggestion, the Court explicitly limited its summary judgment
`holding to “SRX Gateways used in combination with Sky ATP” and held that the issue of “the
`extent of damages” would be decided at trial. See Dkt. 189 at 3, 21 (emphasis added).

`
`Finjan’s reliance on Finjan, Inc. v. Secure Computing Corp., 626 F.3d 1197 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2010), is unavailing. Opp. at 12. In that case, the court found that a system claim was infringed by
`
`a product that was shipped with all necessary software for implementing the accused system. Id.
`
`at 1205 (“the useris only activating meansthat are already present in the underlying software’’). In
`
`contrast, SRX devices are not shipped with the necessary software. That software is part of Sky
`
`ATP, which a useronly gains access to after registering for, and activating, a Sky ATP license.
`
`The Federal Circuit distinguished Secure Computing on this very basis in Nazomi Comm., Inc. v.
`
`Nokia Corp., 739 F.3d 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2014), where it held defendants’ products did not infringe
`
`10
`
`because they required the installation of additional software to perform the patented system—
`
`11
`
`12
`
`13
`
`unlike in Secure Computing, where “the infringing software capable of practicing the claim
`
`limitations wason the accused devices.” Jd. at 1346.
`
`Further, Finjan’s new “SRX devices alone” infringement theory is untethered to Mr. Arst’s
`
`14
`
`cost savings theory, which is based on the additional costs that would allegedly be incurred if Sky
`
`15
`
`ATP performed sandboxing for all incoming files. Even under Mr. Arst’s deeply flawed theory,
`
`16
`
`17
`
`18
`
`Juniper would enjoy no cost savings with respect to SRX devices that were never used in
`
`combination with Sky ATP, because no additional sandboxing would be required for these
`
`devices. In other words, the alleged cost savings of $60-$70 million would only apply to the $1.8
`
`19
`
`million in revenues, regardless of which damagesbaseis considered.
`Finjan does not dispute that, during the damages period, SRX customers only activated[il
`paid and|| free licenses to Sky ATP, so there were a maximum of|| SRX devices that could
`have been used with Sky ATP. Finjan also does not dispute that the revenues associated with those
`|| SRX devices and associated Sky ATP licenses were less than $1.8 million. Yet Finjan does

`
`not attempt to explain why Mr. Arst’s proposed $60-$70 million royalty makes economic sense in
`
`light of these facts. The conclusory arguments Finjan musters in defense of Mr. Arst’s opinion are
`
`all premised on the faulty assumption that the damages base is
`
` But almost all of that
`
`amount is attributable to SRX devices alone, which are not Accused Products. And it is settled law
`
`that a damages expert may not base damages on revenues from non-accused products. See Enplas
`
`Display Device Corp., v. Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd., 2018 WL 6033533, at *10 (Fed. Cir.
`
`Nov. 19, 2018) (overturning jury’s damages award where expert testimony supporting it was
`
`“based, in part, on non-infringing sales of non-accused [products],” because “acts that do not
`
`constitute patent infringement cannot provide a proper basis for recovery of damages”).
`II.
`
`FINJAN’S PUFFERY ABOUT THE VALUE OF CLAIM 10 IS UNSUPPORTED
`
`Finjan’s effort to turn the benefits Juniper allegedly received from Claim 10 into a “factual
`
`dispute” fails together with Finjan’s attempt to inflate the damages base. Opp. at 4. Finjan asserts,
`
`without any support, that: (1) “Juniper[] [had an] essential need for the patented technology;” (2)
`
`Juniper received “extensive benefits” from Claim 10 “across Juniper’s entire network from its
`
`infringement;” and (3) Juniper’s use of Claim 10 was “extensive and pervasive;” “[r]evenues of
`
`products that incorporate the infringing technology . . . do not capture the value of the significant
`
`benefits Juniper received, including to its entire network, based upon its infringement.” Opp. at 1,
`
`4. Each of these statements is contradicted by the fact that a mere
`
`
`
`arguably compatible SRX devices sold during the damages period were enabled to be used in
`
`combination with Sky ATP. Dkt. 229-6 (Ugone Rpt.) at 40 (Table 4) & Ex. 5.
`III. MR. ARST’S DEPARTURE FROM FINJAN’S OWN LICENSING POLICY IS
`UNSUPPORTED
`Finjan provides no coherent explanation for Mr. Arst’s dramatic deviation from Finjan’s
`own licensing policy, with its 8%/16% starting rates. Finjan states that those rates have been
`applied to “total revenue.” Opp. at 6. This does not help Finjan, as Juniper’s “total revenue” for
`the Accused Products is less than $1.8 million. Mr. Arst’s royalty amounts to a nearly 4,000%
`rate. Finjan claims that this is a “manufactured” and “outrageous” number, id., but it is just simple
`math from Mr. Arst’s proposed $70 million royalty on accused sales of less than $1.8 million.

`1977), provides no support for Mr. Arst’s dramatic departure from Finjan’s own licensing policy.
`
`Tights, which was decided over forty years ago by an out-of-district court, found that prior
`
`licenses were arrived at by wielding the threat of litigation over an “impecunious patentee.” Id.
`
`Here, Finjan has a number of license agreements decided outside the context of litigation. See Dkt.
`
`229-6 (Ugone Rpt.) at 58-60.
`
`
`
`
`
`See Dkt. 230-10 (Blue Coat Trial Tr.) at 256:5-12; Dkt.
`
`228-10 (Hartstein Dep.) at 42:25-43:5. Mr. Arst’s opinion cannot be squared with that policy.
`IV. MR. ARST FAILS TO APPLY A RELIABLE METHODOLOGY
`Finjan states that Juniper’s Motion does “not challenge Mr. Arst’s methodology.” Not so.
`
`As Juniper’s Motion explained, Mr. Arst’s methodology is unreliable. See Mot. at 8-12.
`
`A cost savings analysis of the sort Mr. Arst attempted to perform requires consideration of
`
`the costs associated with the defendant’s next best alternative. See Metaswitch Networks Ltd. v.
`
`Genband US LLC, 2016 WL 874737, at *2 (E.D. Tex. Mar. 5, 2016) (“‘cost approach’ . . .
`compares the cost of using the patented technology with the cost of implementing ‘the next-best
`acceptable non-infringing alternative.’”). But neither Mr. Arst nor Dr. Cole did anything to
`
`determine what Juniper’s “next best alternative” was. Dr. Cole admitted he was not given the
`
`“direct task” of analyzing Juniper’s non-infringing alternatives. Ex. 1 at 44:19-21, 36:22-37:9.
`
`Following Dr. Cole’s deposition on November 14, 2018, the arbitrary nature of Mr. Arst’s
`
`cost savings analysis has become all the more apparent. Mr. Arst testified that he understood from
`
`Dr. Cole that Juniper’s “next best alternative to infringing Claim 10” would have involved the re-
`
`processing of files, which would require “increased sandboxing.” Ex. 2 (Arst Dep.) at 106:14-
`
`107:1. But Dr. Cole confirmed that he did not actually assess which of the various alternatives
`
`would have been Juniper’s “next best” option. Ex. 1 (Cole Dep.) at 44:19-21. Moreover, while
`
`Finjan characterizes increased sandboxing as the “only viable noninfringing alternative presented
`
`during fact discovery” (Opp. at 9), Dr. Cole directly contradicted this characterization and Mr.
`
`Arst’s understanding. Dr. Cole testified that the alternative of reprocessing files, on which Mr.
`Arst bases his analysis, would not have been a viable option for Juniper:

`damages expert should be precluded from presenting her design around cost calculations because
`
`she “provide[d] no sufficient facts or data to support her position that [the proposed design
`
`around] would have been considered by [defendant] in this hypothetical negotiation.” Jd. at *2.
`
`The court agreed, finding that plaintiff's damages expert failed to “explain why [the proposed
`
`design around] would be an economically rational choice for [defendant] in a hypothetical
`
`16
`
`17
`
`18
`
`19
`

`
`licensing negotiation.” Jd.
`
`21
`
`Here, if one were to believe Mr. Arst that his proposed alternative—sandboxing every
`
`22
`
`file—would haveresulted in increased costs of $60-$70 million, then on its face this alternative
`
`23
`
`would not have been an “economically rational choice for [Juniper].” See id. Mr. Arst does not
`
`24
`
`explain why Juniper would even consider an alternative that would cost $60-$70 million to
`
`generate $1.8 million in revenue. Finjan’s technical expert concedes that this alternative is not
`
`26
`
`commercially viable. The icing on this methodologically flawed cake is that Mr. Arst does not
`
`27
`
`accountat all for Juniper’s alternative of waiting 14 months until the 494 patent expired before
`
`28
`
`releasing Sky ATP.

`
`V. MR. ARST’S COST SAVINGS ANALYSIS IS UNRELIABLE
`Even on its own terms, Mr. Arst’s cost savings analysis is beset by numerous errors that
`
`render it unreliable and unsupported. Mot. at 8-12. Unable to explain those errors away, Finjan
`
`tries to reframe Juniper’s arguments into strawmen. For example, Finjan’s statement that “Juniper
`
`uses AWS . . . to perform the alleged infringing database lookups at a small fraction of the cost
`
`that would be required to analyze files using a sandboxing process” misses the point. Opp. at 7.
`
`Mr. Arst does not contend that Juniper’s database lookup costs would increase; he contends that
`
`Juniper’s sandboxing costs would increase. Notably, Finjan does not dispute that Juniper’s AWS
`
`invoices do not reflect any of Juniper’s sandboxing costs. Similarly, Finjan fails to address
`
`Juniper’s argument that
`
` Mot. at 11. Instead, Finjan
`
`misstates Juniper’s argument as contending that only
`
` Opp. at 11.
`
`Finjan also attempts to create discovery disputes to excuse Mr. Arst’s many errors.
`
`However, “[Finjan] as the patent holder, bears the burden of proving its damages[; if Juniper]
`
`refused to produce information that Mr. Arst required to determine the reasonable royalty [which
`
`it did not], then [Finjan] needed to get that information, if necessary through a motion to compel.
`
`[Finjan] fails to show any effort it took to get all the information necessary for its expert to
`
`provide a reasonable royalty calculation that does not rely on unreasonable inferences or
`
`speculation.” See Monolithic Power Sys., Inc. v. O2 Micro Int’l Ltd., 476 F. Supp. 2d 1143, 1155
`
`(N.D. Cal. 2007), clarified on denial of reconsideration, 2007 WL 1108615 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 11,
`
`2007); see also Microsoft Corp., 2017 WL 6492468, at *2 (excluding patentee’s damages expert’s
`
`testimony concerning design around costs and rejecting the expert’s argument that she had “no
`
`choice but to rely on [irrelevant evidence] because [defendant’s] witnesses could not provide a
`
`comparable estimate[;]” finding that if the patentee “believed that [defendant’s] provided
`
`insufficient information . . . [defendant] could have conducted discovery on that issue; and if
`
`[patentee] believed [defendant’s] responses to those discovery requests were inadequate,
`
`[patentee] could have moved to compel”).
`
`In addition to being irrelevant, Finjan’s complaints about Juniper’s discovery are wrong:
`
` Juniper did not represent that its production would be limited “to servers that host or

`
`directly interface with specifically accused features of the deployed or sold products at
`
`issue in this litigation,” but instead represented that its search would be so limited. As part
`
`of that search, Juniper located and then produced its AWS invoices, which include costs
`
`for the accused features of Sky ATP, but also include costs for products and services other
`
`than Sky ATP. Dkt. 239-3 (Juniper’s Responses to RFPs 95-97).
`
`
`
`In response to Finjan’s Interrogatory Number 11, Juniper explicitly informed Finjan that
`sandboxing is
` Ex. 3 (Juniper’s Response to Rog 11). Yet Finjan
`
`never asked Juniper to supplement its production nor did it request that Juniper produce its
`
` in advance of Mr. Arst’s report.
`
` Juniper never stated that the number of free Sky ATP licenses was unknowable, only that
`Juniper does not “maintain historical data” in the ordinary course. See Dkt. 125-8
`
`(Nagarajan Decl.) ¶ 6.
`
` and produced it
`
`on September 7, 2018—in advance of Mr. Arst’s report. Dkt. 228-6 (Icasiano Decl.) ¶ 4.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Finjan chose not to request a deposition of any Juniper financial witness before it
`submitted its damages report, and instead chose to make (inaccurate) assumptions about
`
`Juniper’s financial documents. Finjan’s strategic choice not to take a deposition does not
`
`entitle it to exclude Juniper from presenting the facts.
`VI. MR. ARST SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN LEAVE TO DO A NEW ANALYSIS
`The errors in Mr. Arst’s report are fundamental to his analysis. To comply with Daubert,
`
`he would need to put forth an entirely new damages analysis. It would be highly prejudicial to
`
`Juniper to allow Mr. Arst to do so, with trial less than three weeks away. Finjan should be held
`
`accountable for its “overreaching bite.” See Network Prot. Scis., LLC v. Fortinet, Inc., 2013 WL
`
`5402089, at *8 (N.D. Cal. Sept. 26, 2013) (“where the report is not even close, there is a positive
`
`need to deny a second bite in order to encourage candor in the first place”). Finjan is a
`
`sophisticated party that has litigated many patent infringement cases. It surely knew that Mr.
`
`Arst’s report does not come close to complying with the dictates of Daubert and Rule 702.
