`THE CLERK:THE CLERK: Calling Civil Action 17-5659, Finjan, Inc.
`
`THE CLERK:THE CLERK:
`
`versus Juniper Network, Inc.
`
`Counsel, please approach the podium and state your
`
`appearances for the record.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Good morning, Your Honor. Lisa Kobialka on
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`behalf of the plaintiff, Finjan, Inc.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Welcome.
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: Good morning, Your Honor. Rebecca Carson on
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`behalf of Juniper Networks.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Welcome to you, too.
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`Let's see, you're moving to dismiss.
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: That's correct, Your Honor.
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: All right, let's hear a summary.
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`Please don't go into everything, but make your most
`
`important points.
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: Sure, Your Honor.
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`The crux of the problem here is that Finjan is trying to
`
`rely on its pre-suit communications regarding a non-asserted
`
`patent to establish the knowledge elements of its willfulness
`
`and inducement claims for the patents that it actually decided
`
`to assert against Juniper.
`
`According to the complaint, Finjan first reached out to
`
`Juniper back in 2014. And it called out one specific patent,
`
`

`
`20
`
`21
`
`22
`
`23
`
`24
`
`25
`
`and provided Juniper with a claim chart that it called exemplary
`
`of its patent portfolio. That patent was the '968 patent. And
`
`there is no dispute that Finjan has not asserted the '968 patent
`
`in this case.
`
`At that time, Juniper responded by providing Finjan with
`
`some prior art. And shortly thereafter, the negotiations broke
`
`down. And Finjan waited three years and then brought this
`
`lawsuit.
`
`There's no allegation that Juniper was wrong about the '968
`
`patent. In fact, the opposite inference can be made by the fact
`
`that Finjan has elected to assert eight patents against Juniper,
`
`and not one of those patents is the '968 patent that it
`
`specifically identified.
`
`There's also no allegation in the complaint that Finjan ever
`
`specifically identified any other patents from its portfolio
`
`during the pre-suit negotiations. Instead, it chose to hide the
`
`ball on those, and not raise them until filing this complaint.
`
`Juniper shouldn't be charged with reading Finjan's minds
`
`about these other patents, particularly in light of the fact
`
`that the one patent that they chose to specifically discuss
`
`didn't even have enough merit to make it into their complaint in
`
`this case.
`
`Finjan hasn't cited a single case where these sets of facts
`
`were enough to establish the pre-suit knowledge elements for
`
`willfulness and inducement.
`
`

`

`Case 3:17-cv-05659-WHA Document 28 Filed 02/02/18 Page 4 of 13

`
`And in fact, other courts in this district that have been
`
`faced with similar situations where the patentee has identified
`
`or put the defendant on notice of other patents or similar
`
`patents in their portfolio have determined that that's not
`
`sufficient to establish pre-suit knowledge.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: All right. Stop.
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: Sure.
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: What do you say in response?
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Yes, Your Honor.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`The meetings that the parties had, it initially had started
`
`with the '968, but we have a specific allegation in the
`
`pleadings that we had meetings about the asserted patent.
`
`And we can add very specific allegations regarding no later
`
`than December of 2014, they, in fact, knew about some of the
`
`patents that are asserted in this case because that was part of
`
`the meetings that we were having with Finjan, and that was going
`
`on between Finjan and Juniper.
`
`And --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Then why didn't you send a -- you picked out a
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`patent that you didn't even sue on, and sent that as an
`
`exemplar. Right?
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Yes. But in --
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: And then, and now you are telling me that you
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`did that, the same thing for the patents you are suing on? I
`
`kind of doubt that's true.

`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: No, we didn't send claim charts for the other

`
`patents that we sued on.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: You mean it just kind of came up; those numbers
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`were in the air in some conversation.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: During the meetings that we had, absolutely.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`There were discussions regarding licensing, licensing of
`
`Finjan's patents, and in particular --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: But did you -- no. But did you say -- see,
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`that's not going to be good enough, either. I'll just tell you
`
`that wouldn't be good enough.
`
`What you would have to do is say: Look, we brought the
`
`patent, we showed them at the meeting -- I don't -- the ABC
`
`patent, Claim 4, you infringed that, and here's why.
`
`That would be pretty good. But just to say: Hey, here's a
`
`list of the patents in our, quote, portfolio, and we will
`
`license this to you and here's an exemplar, I'm going to throw
`
`that out.
`

`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: We did not -- I will not represent to you or
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`suggest that we sat down and gave them a claim chart on specific
`
`claims of --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: I know you didn't. I know you didn't.
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: But we --

`
`cases are getting out of hand here. To -- first of all, there's
`
`no such thing as a portfolio. The statute doesn't give you a
`
`right to a portfolio, to sue on a portfolio. You can sue on a
`
`specific patent with a specific number. That's the statutory
`
`creature.
`
`This thing that -- this thing that you have come up with
`
`called "portfolio" is just a gimmick. It's a gimmick. You
`
`can't sue on a portfolio. You have got to sue on specific
`
`patents.
`
`Now, you didn't do that here, but you gave them the wrong
`
`patent up front. You told them about a different patent. It
`
`turns out it's totally invalid; you didn't sue on that. Then
`
`you turned around and sue on things you didn't bring up in
`
`writing.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: During the licensing negotiations, specific
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`patents that are asserted in this case were, in fact, discussed.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: That's not enough. You know why? Because all
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`you do is say: We'll give you a license to all these other
`
`numbers.
`
`What would be good would be is if you said: Here's how you
`
`infringe Patent ABC.
`
`Okay. I would go along with that. But I'm positive you
`
`don't have that kind of proof.
`
`Do you?
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: No. I'm not going -- I don't know that.

`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:

`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: I don't think you do. I know how these
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`negotiations go.
`
`And, get this. You tell them here's an exemplary thing, and
`
`it turns out that's totally bogus. They would be within their
`
`rights to say: Hey, the one they gave us that was represented
`
`to be exemplary turns out to be completely off base, so we could
`
`assume the rest of that portfolio was off base, because it was
`
`exemplary.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Your Honor, I can talk to you about how the
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`negotiations took place. But I don't think at this point --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: I'm going to give you a chance to try to amend,
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`and fix it up if you think you can. But before I allow it, I
`
`may let -- what's your name?
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: Ms. Carson, Rebecca.
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: -- take depositions in great detail before we
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`even get to first base. Somewhere between home plate and first
`
`base, there'll be about five depositions.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: I understand, Your Honor.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Anything more for today?
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`Oh, you have another one about induced infringement. Let's
`
`hear about your induced infringement.
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: So the induced infringement suffers from the
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`same problem. One of the elements is knowledge of the patents.
`
`And several of the patents expired prior to the lawsuit being
`
`filed.
`
`

`

`

`

`

`

`
`So for those patents, because there isn't an adequate
`
`allegation of pre-suit knowledge, those -- Juniper requests that
`
`those be dismissed, for the same reasons as the willfulness
`
`claim.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: I don't quite understand -- what is -- they --
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`even if a patent has expired, you can still sue for -- within
`
`the statute on it for the period that was under -- before the
`
`expiration, right?
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: Well, so the requirements of inducement require
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`that at the time of the alleged inducement, at the time of the
`
`alleged action, the defendant knew about the patent, and
`
`specifically intended to induce the infringement.
`
`So if Juniper was not aware of the patents prior to the
`
`filing --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Why isn't that the same point as the willfulness
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`point?
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: It is, Your Honor.
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: What does the statute of lim- -- what does the
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`expiration got to do with that?
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: So because the patents have expired, now --
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`upon receiving the complaint, Juniper is aware of the patents.
`
`But those patents are expired, so it can't be held liable for
`
`any actions that occur after the expiration of the patents.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Correct. But for the period -- but -- all
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`right. Okay. That's confusing me. But all right, what do you

`

`

`
`25
`
`say to that point?
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: There is a difference between the standard
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`that you were talking about for willfulness and for indirect
`
`infringement.
`
`We have alleged and we can allege with further detail that
`
`they, in fact, knew because we had discussions about specific
`
`patent numbers. It won't be all seven that are served, indirect
`
`infringement. We had discussions about the '780, the '926,
`
`'633, '844, '305, '408 and '494 patents, before the expiration
`
`of the patents.
`
`Their assertion is that because the complaint was filed
`
`after the expiration, for some reason we can't go back in time,
`
`because we didn't have knowledge. But we can actually
`
`demonstrate that they did have knowledge.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Again, if it's just you were -- offered to
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`license them a patent with a certain number as part of a larger
`
`group, I'm not -- I'm going to say that's not good enough. It
`
`has to be that you explained to them how they infringed that
`
`patent. Then, that would be good enough.
`
`But, but just to offer and say: By the way, you need a
`
`patent -- you need a license, and we'll -- and this will cover
`
`the '701 patent, no.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Your Honor, there was discussions about the
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`merits of those specific patents. It wasn't: Hey, this is a
`
`discussion where we're going to talk about our entire portfolio
`
`

`
`for licensing.
`
`That was, in part, the discussion. But we've specifically
`
`talked about this subset of patents.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Okay. Well, sub- -- subset portfolios is not
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`good enough. It's got to be this patent. Not some sub
`
`portfolio.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: I've given you the specific numbers that were
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`part of the explicit discussions that occurred no later than
`
`December of 20- -- 2014.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: I'm going to tell you. When you get your chance
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`to replead, don't gloss over these, and use conclusory language.
`
`You need to plead it in great detail. Because I distrust what
`
`you're telling me. I -- I want to see it in black and white.
`
`And if you just say it was part of the -- that '701 was part
`
`of the discussions, that's not -- that's too ambiguous. It's
`
`got to be you explained -- somebody there at the meeting took
`
`out the '701 and explained how their product violated that
`
`patent. Okay. That would be good enough.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Your Honor, if I may, that's the standard for
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`willfulness. The standard for indirect infringement, are you
`
`saying that we have to plead --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Well, I don't -- if there's a difference in
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`standard then -- I thought it was the same standard. That's
`
`what you said.
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: It is, Your Honor.

`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`standard, I'll take that into account. But why do you say it's
`
`the same standard?
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: So I just wanted to clarify that -- so the
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`elements of inducement are that the infringer knew or should
`
`have known its actions would induce actual infringement, that
`
`the infringer had specific intent to induce infringement by
`
`another and direct infringement by another.
`
`So those elements require knowledge of both the patent and
`
`knowledge of the potential infringement. And that's why it
`
`matters, because for the pre-suit period, Juniper did not have
`
`knowledge of the patents and did not have knowledge of its
`
`alleged infringement. And therefore, it can't be liable for
`
`inducement for that period of time.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Well, but your opponent is saying that -- what
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`you're telling me -- that may be true on the present pleading.
`
`But she says she can fix that up in an amendment.
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: We're not aware of any discussions regarding
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`the specific patents that occurred prior to the litigation.
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Well, she says you're wrong. So we're going to
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`find out.
`
`All right, here's the deal. I'm going to grant this, give
`
`you leave to amend. But if you do, you're going to have seek
`
`leave to amend. And as part of that, if you want to take
`
`depositions of those people, and put them under oath, and see

`
`what they're willing to say under oath, I'll let you do that.
`
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON: Thank you, Your Honor.
`
`MS. CARSON:MS. CARSON:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: All right, you all have a good day. Thank you.

`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: I'm sorry; may I just ask, is there a
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`deadline for the --
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Yeah, there will be. You tell me. What -- how
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`much -- I was going to give you, like, two weeks.
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: Your Honor, I start trial February 9. Could
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`I just have an extra week?
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: Yeah. I'll give you until -- I'll give you even
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
`
`more than that. I'll give you until February 22. How's that?
`
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA: That's wonderful. Thank you very much.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA:MS. KOBIALKA:
`
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT: All right.
`
`THE COURT:THE COURT:
