`STIPULATED INSTRUCTION NO. 1. RE WHAT A PATENT IS AND HOW ONE IS
`OBTAINED
`This case involves a dispute relating to a United States patent. Before summarizing the
`
`positions of the parties and the legal issues involved in the dispute, let me take a moment to
`
`explain what a patent is and how one is obtained.
`
`Patents are granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (sometimes called
`
`“the PTO”). A valid United States patent gives the patent holder the right to prevent others from
`
`making, using, offering to sell, or selling the patented invention within the United States, or from
`
`importing it into the United States, during the term of the patent without the patent holder’s
`
`permission. A violation of the patent holder’s rights is called infringement. The patent holder
`
`may try to enforce a patent against persons believed to be infringers by means of a lawsuit filed in
`
`federal court.
`
`To obtain a patent one must file an application with the PTO. The process of obtaining a
`
`patent is called patent prosecution. The PTO is an agency of the federal government and employs
`
`trained patent examiners who review applications for patents. The application includes what is
`
`called a “specification,” which must contain a written description of the claimed invention telling
`
`what the invention is, how it works, how to make it and how to use it so others skilled in the field
`
`will know how to make or use it. The specification concludes with one or more numbered
`
`sentences. These are the patent “claims.” When the patent is eventually granted by the PTO, the
`
`claims define the boundaries of its protection and give notice to the public of those boundaries.
`
`After the applicant files the application, a PTO patent examiner reviews the patent
`
`application to determine whether the claims are patentable and whether the specification
`
`adequately describes the invention claimed. In examining a patent application, the patent
`
`examiner reviews information about the state of the technology at the time the application was
`
`filed. As part of that effort, the patent examiner searches for and reviews information that is
`
`publicly available, submitted by the applicant, or both. That information is called “prior art.”
`
`Prior art is defined by law, and I will give you at a later time specific instructions as to what
`
`constitutes prior art. However, in general, prior art includes things that existed before the claimed

`
`invention, that were publicly known, or used in a publicly accessible way in this country, or that
`
`were patented or described in a publication in any country. The patent examiner considers,
`
`among other things, whether each claim defines an invention that is new, useful, and not obvious
`
`in view of the prior art. A patent lists the prior art that the examiner considered; this list is called
`
`the “cited references.”
`
`After the prior art search and examination of the application, the patent examiner then
`
`informs the applicant in writing what the examiner has found and whether any claim is patentable,
`
`and thus will be “allowed.” This writing from the patent examiner is called an “office action.” If
`
`the examiner rejects the claims, the applicant has an opportunity to respond and sometimes
`
`changes the claims or submits new claims. This process, which takes place only between the
`
`examiner and the patent applicant, may go back and forth for some time until the examiner is
`
`satisfied that the application and claims meet the requirements for a patent. Sometimes, patents
`
`are issued after appeals with the PTO or to a court. The papers generated during this time of
`
`communicating back and forth between the patent examiner and the applicant make up what is
`
`called the “prosecution history.” All of this material becomes available to the public no later than
`
`the date when the patent issues.
`
`The fact that the PTO grants a patent does not necessarily mean that any invention
`
`claimed in the patent, in fact, deserves the protection of a patent. For example, the PTO may not
`
`have had available to it all the information that will be presented to you. A person accused of
`
`infringement has the right to argue here in federal court that a claimed invention in the patent is
`
`invalid because it does not meet the requirements for a patent.

`
`DISPUTED INSTRUCTION NO. 3 RE SUMMARY OF CONTENTIONS
`OFFERED BY FINJAN
`To help you follow the evidence, I will now give you a summary of the positions of the
`
`parties.
`
`The parties in this case are Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) and Juniper Networks Inc. (“Juniper”).
`
`The case involves United States Patent No(s). [ ], obtained by [inventor], and transferred by
`
`[inventor] to [patent holder]. This trial involves one patent, number 8,677,494. For convenience,
`
`the parties and I will often refer to this patent by the last three numbers of the patent, namely, as
`
`“the ’494 Patent.”
`
`Finjan filed suit in this Court seeking money damages from Juniper for allegedly
`
`infringing the ‘494 Patent by making, using, selling, and offering for sale [in/into/within] the
`
`United States products that Finjan argues are covered by claim 10 of the ‘494 Patent. Claim 10
`
`may be referred to as the “Asserted Claim” in this case.
`
`The products that are alleged to infringe the Asserted Claim are Juniper’s SRX Gateway
`
`Products with Sky ATP and Sky ATP by itself.
`
`Juniper denies that it has infringed the Asserted Claim. Juniper also argues that the
`
`Asserted Claim is invalid and that Finjan never gave Juniper notice of its infringement of the ‘494
`
`Patent. I will instruct you later as to the ways in which a patent may be invalid. In general,
`
`however, a patent is invalid if it is not new or is obvious in view of the state of the art at the
`
`relevant time, or if the description in the patent does not meet certain requirements. [Add other
`
`defenses, if applicable.]
`
`Your job will be to decide whether or not the Asserted Claim has been infringed and
`
`whether or not those claims are invalid. For purposes of this case for infringement, you will only
`
`need to determine whether Juniper’s SRX Gateway Products with Sky ATP and/or Sky ATP by
`
`itself satisfies the “database” limitation of the claims. Similarly, for purposes of invalidity, you
`
`will only need to determine whether Claim 10 contains an inventive concept. If you decide that
`
`Claim 10 is infringed and valid, you will then need to decide any money damages to be awarded
`
`to Finjan to compensate it for the infringement.

`
`DISPUTED INSTRUCTION NO. 3. RE SUMMARY OF CONTENTIONS
`OFFERED BY JUNIPER
`To help you follow the evidence, I will now give you a summary of the positions of the
`
`parties.
`
`The parties in this case are Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) and Juniper Networks, Inc. (“Juniper”).
`
`The case involves United States Patent Number 8,677,494, obtained by Yigal Mordechai Edery,
`
`Nirmrod Itzhak Vered, David R. Kroll, and Shlomo Touboul and transferred to Finjan. For
`
`convenience, the parties and I will often refer to this patent by the last three numbers of its patent
`
`number: the ’494 patent.
`
`Finjan filed suit in this court seeking money damages from Juniper for allegedly
`
`infringing the ’494 patent by making, using, selling, and offering for sale products that Finjan
`
`argues are covered by claim 10 of the ’494 patent. The products that are alleged to infringe are
`
`Juniper’s SRX Gateways used in combination with Sky ATP and Sky ATP alone.
`
`Juniper denies that it has infringed claim 10 of the ’494 patent. Juniper also argues that
`
`claim 10 of the ’494 patent is invalid. [Add other defenses, if applicable]. Invalidity is a defense
`
`to infringement.
`
`Juniper also argues that Finjan cannot recover damages because Finjan did not comply
`
`with the Patent Act’s notice requirements before the patent expired. In particular, Juniper argues
`
`that the Patent Act’s marking requirements apply to Finjan because it or its licensees sold
`
`products that are covered by the ’494 Patent. Juniper further argues that Finjan has not met its
`
`burden to show that it marked all or substantially all of the products it sold that are covered by
`
`the ’494 Patent with the ’494 Patent and /or that it made reasonable efforts to ensure that its
`
`licensees who sold products that are covered by the ’494 Patent marked those products with
`
`the ’494 Patent. Juniper also argues that Finjan did not meet its burden to show that it provided
`
`actual written notice to Juniper of Finjan’s belief that SRX Gateways used in combination with
`
`Sky ATP and Sky ATP alone infringed the ’494 patent.
`
`Your job will be to decide (1) whether claim 10 of the ’494 patent has been infringed,
`
`(2) whether claim 10 of the ’494 patent is invalid, and (3) whether Finjan complied with the

`notice requirements of the Patent Act before the patent expired. Only if you decide that claim 10
`
`has been infringed, that claim 10 is not invalid, and that Finjan has complied with the notice
`
`requirements of the Patent Act, you will then need to decide any money damages to be awarded
`
`to Finjan to compensate it for the infringement.
`
`You may hear evidence that Juniper has its own patent(s) or that Juniper improved on
`
`the ’494 patent. While this evidence is relevant to some issues you will be asked to decide, a party
`
`can still infringe even if it has its own patents in the same area. You will be instructed after trial
`
`as to what, if any, relevance these facts have to the particular issues in this case. Meanwhile,
`
`please keep an open mind.
`
`Before you decide whether Juniper has infringed claim 10 of the patent or whether claim
`
`10 is invalid, you will need to understand the patent claim. As I mentioned, patent claims are
`
`numbered sentences at the end of the patent that describe the boundaries of the patent’s protection.
`
`It is my job as judge to explain to you the meaning of any language in claim 10 that needs
`
`interpretation.
`
`I have already determined the meaning of certain terms of claim 10 of the ’494 patent.
`
`You have been given a document reflecting those meanings. For a claim term for which I have
`
`not provided a definition, you should apply the ordinary meaning. You are to apply my
`
`definitions of these terms throughout this case. However, my interpretation of the language of
`
`claim 10 should not be taken as an indication that I have a view regarding issues such as
`
`infringement and invalidity. Those issues are yours to decide. I will provide you with more
`
`detailed instructions on the meaning of claim 10 before you retire to deliberate your verdict.

`
`STIPULATED INSTRUCTION NO. 4. RE BURDEN OF PROOF
`
`In these instructions, I will often refer to a party’s burden of proof. I will be discussing
`
`two different burdens of proof. The first is known as a burden of proof by a preponderance of the
`
`evidence. When a party has the burden of proof on any issue by a preponderance of the evidence,
`
`it means you must be persuaded by the evidence that the issue is more probably true than not true.
`
`To put it differently, if you were to put the evidence favoring plaintiff and the evidence favoring
`
`defendant on opposite sides of a scale, the party with the burden of proof on the issue would have
`
`to make the scale tip somewhat toward its side. If the party fails to meet this burden, then the
`
`party with the burden of proof loses on that issue. Preponderance of the evidence basically means
`
`“more likely than not.”
`
`The second burden of proof involved in this case is known as a burden of proof by clear
`
`and convincing evidence. When a party has the burden of proving any issue by clear and
`
`convincing evidence, it means you must be persuaded by the evidence that the contention is
`
`highly probable. Such evidence requires a higher standard of proof than proof by a preponderance
`
`of the evidence.

`
`DISPUTED INSTRUCTION NO. 5 RE OUTLINE OF TRIAL OFFERED BY FINJAN
`The trial will now begin. First, each side may make an opening statement. An opening
`
`statement is not evidence. It is simply an outline to help you understand what that party expects
`
`the evidence will show.
`
`The presentation of evidence will then begin. Witnesses will take the witness stand and
`
`the documents will be offered and admitted into evidence. There are two standards of proof that
`
`you will apply to the evidence, depending on the issue you are deciding. On some issues, you
`
`must decide whether something is more likely true than not. On other issues you must use a
`
`higher standard and decide whether it is highly probable that something is true.
`
`Finjan will present its evidence on its contention that Claim 10 of the ’494 Patent has been
`
`infringed by Juniper. These witnesses will be questioned by Finjan’s counsel in what is called
`
`direct examination. After the direct examination of a witness is completed, the opposing side has
`
`an opportunity to cross-examine the witness. Finally Finjan’s counsel has the opportunity to
`
`question the witness one more time in what is called redirect examination. For purposes of
`
`proving infringement, Finjan must persuade you that it is more likely than not that Juniper
`
`infringed Claim 10. For damages, Finjan must persuade you that it is more likely than not that
`
`Finjan put Juniper on notice of the ‘494 Patent before January 29, 2017. Finjan will also present
`
`evidence regarding the amount of damages that it should be awarded if Juniper is found to
`
`infringe Claim 10.
`
`After Finjan has presented its witnesses, Juniper will call its witnesses, who will also be
`
`examined and subject to cross-examination and redirect. Juniper will present its evidence that
`
`claim 10 of the ’494 patent is invalid. To prove invalidity of claim 10, Juniper must persuade you
`
`that it is highly probable that the claim is invalid. In addition to presenting its evidence of
`
`invalidity, [alleged infringer] will put on evidence responding to [patent holder]’s infringement.
`
`Further, Juniper will respond to Finjan’s evidence regarding damages and notice.
`
`[Patent holder] will then return and will put on evidence responding to [alleged
`
`infringer]’s contention that the claims of the [ ] patent are invalid. [Patent holder] will also have
`
`the option to put on what is referred to as “rebuttal” evidence to any evidence offered by [alleged

`
`contentions.
`
`Finally, [alleged infringer] will have the option to put on “rebuttal” evidence to any
`
`evidence offered by [patent holder] on the validity of [some] [the] claims of the [ ] patent.
`
`Because the evidence is introduced piecemeal, you need to keep an open mind as the
`
`evidence comes in and wait for all the evidence before you make any decisions. In other words,
`
`you should keep an open mind throughout the entire trial.
`
`The parties may present the testimony of a witness by reading from his or her deposition
`
`transcript or playing a videotape of the witness’s deposition testimony. A deposition is the sworn
`
`testimony of a witness taken before trial and is entitled to the same consideration as if the witness
`
`had testified at trial.
`
`After the evidence has been presented, the attorneys will make closing arguments and I
`
`will give you final instructions on the law that applies to the case. Closing arguments are not
`
`evidence. After the closing arguments and instructions, you will then decide the case.

`
`Finjan will also present evidence that it complied with the notice requirements of the
`
`Patent Act. To prove that it complied with the notice requirements, Finjan must persuade you
`
`that it is more likely than not that Finjan provided constructive notice by marking substantially all
`
`of the products it made, offered for sale, or sold under the ’494 patent and that it made reasonable
`
`efforts to ensure that its licensees who made, offered for sale, or sold products under the ’494
`
`patent marked the products, or alternatively that it provided actual written notice to Juniper that it
`
`believed Juniper was infringing the ’494 patent through the SRX Gateways used in combination
`
`with Sky ATP and Sky ATP alone before January 29, 2017. Finjan will also present evidence
`
`regarding the amount of damages that it should be awarded if Juniper is found to infringe Claim
`
`10 and Finjan is found to have provided either constructive notice or actual written notice of
`
`the ’494 patent and the specific accused products.
