`
`(Proceedings were heard out of the presence of the jury:)
`
`THE COURT: Okay. Let's get started.
`
`Okay. First we'll consider Rule 50 motions. We've
`
`considered your written material so the oral part will be
`
`brief. Let's hear first from the defendant.
`
`MR. HEINRICH: Good morning, Your Honor. Alan
`
`Heinrich.
`
`THE COURT: One issue at a time. So what's your first
`
`issue?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: So we move for JMOL on damages. We
`
`think it's clear from plaintiff's submission that they're
`
`intent on violating the law. They're going to get up here in a
`
`few minutes and they're going to present the jury with a
`
`damages theory that the Federal Circuit rejected in Finjan v.
`
`Blue Coat.
`
`They're going to argue to the jury that the jury should
`
`award a royalty based on a per-user or per-scan rate that's
`
`based on nothing more than what Finjan's CEO testified Finjan
`
`would like to get. It's contrary to law.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. All right.
`
`All right. Let's hear from the other side.

`
`THE COURT: Good morning.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Your Honor, we've put in the damages case,
`
`a fact-based case, that we talked about at the pretrial
`
`conference. We were going to give the jury a lot of facts to
`
`look at, ones in which they can base a reasonable royalty on.
`
`With respect to violating the law, we have adhered
`
`strictly to the Federal Circuit's guidelines in the Finjan v.
`
`Blue Coat case.
`
`As I spoke to you yesterday about the apportionment issue,
`
`we have gone to great pains to apportion the Sky ATP module
`
`down to its infringing components. That's taking out over
`
`60 percent of the value of Sky ATP.
`
`So we have --
`
`THE COURT: Wait. Wait. Wait. Sky ATP and the
`
`module. Where did you take anything out for the other
`
`functions of the hardware?
`
`MR. ANDRE: For the SRX?
`
`THE COURT: Yes.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Well, Your Honor, the apportionment for
`
`SRX can be -- the Sky ATP can be attributed to the SRX or they
`
`can find damages on Sky ATP alone. We have a claim in this
`
`case for Sky ATP by itself without SRX. So at the very least
`
`the jury can find damages on Sky ATP infringement by itself,
`
`and we have apportioned that.

`
`25
`
`You can -- apportionment is not an exact science as
`
`Your Honor is aware of. You can do the best you can do, and so
`
`we -- when they sell SRX and Sky ATP together, you can look at
`
`the entire system as apportionment down to 40 percent as we
`
`have done.
`
`The defendants in this case do not keep records of how
`
`much traffic goes through SRX. We tried. They just don't keep
`
`that kind of information available.
`
`So we've gone through and tried to apportion to the best
`
`of our ability given the information that is kept by the
`
`defendants of the entire system, the SRX and Sky ATP, doing a
`
`60 percent apportionment. That's a 60 percent reduction of
`
`everything that goes in if it's a revenue base. If it's a
`
`per-user base or a per-scan rate, then it's strictly a Sky ATP.
`
`So we've given the jury substantial facts from which it
`
`can base a fact-based case on.
`
`THE COURT: All right. The ruling is I'm going to
`
`grant the motion and knock damages out of the case, and I want
`
`to explain why.
`
`The initial report by the Finjan expert came down to an
`
`enormous royalty of something like $70 million, a fantastic
`
`sum, grossly out of proportion to anything in this case for one
`
`claim, and that methodology was so flawed that I had no choice
`
`but to exclude it.
`
`Then I recognized going into the trial that it's
`
`

`
`19
`
`20
`
`21
`
`22
`
`23
`
`24
`
`25
`
`conceivable that a plaintiff can put on a fact-based damages
`
`case. In fact, I kind of prefer that when it can be done.
`
`Nevertheless, on this record it would be impossible for the
`
`jury to apportion the revenue between the patented item and the
`
`unpatented items.
`
`There are two levels of problems. One is the hardware.
`
`No effort has been made by the plaintiff to go into the
`
`hardware, figure out its functionalities, and to allocate
`
`between those functions that have nothing to do and were
`
`preexisting to Claim 10 versus those that have something to do
`
`with Claim 10.
`
`Just consider one fact. The SRX preexisted Sky ATP and
`
`was selling in the marketplace before any infringement came
`
`along. It had very legitimate stand-alone functionality, and
`
`there's nothing in this record from which the jury would be
`
`able to say 1 percent of that is Sky ATP or 5 percent of that
`
`is now Sky ATP.
`
`The second level of problem is the Sky ATP itself performs
`
`a lot of functions that are not -- that preexisted Claim 10
`
`that are not covered by Claim 10, and it would just be a power
`
`grab to say, "Well, any scans that go through the Sky ATP or go
`
`through the dynamic processing necessarily infringe and
`
`100 percent of that process is attributable to and has no
`
`unpatented features." So it would just be a wild guess by the
`
`jury on this record.

`
`This motion has to be adjudicated based upon what the
`
`state of the record was at the end of the plaintiff's case.
`
`It's true that the defense put on a damages case, but that was
`
`because they were forced to because I was unable to rule on the
`
`Rule 50 at the time.
`
`For purposes of this motion, we have to look at the
`
`plaintiff's case, and it was not sufficient. It was woefully
`
`inadequate. So there will be no damage award.
`
`What I will say to the jury is, if they get to that issue,
`
`that I will take care -- I will determine that issue so that
`
`they won't -- Finjan won't be prejudiced. We're still going to
`
`get them to decide infringement and the notice issue, and I
`
`will tell them that if they reach the -- if they would
`
`otherwise have reached the damages issue, that is for the Court
`
`to determine.
`
`All right. That's all we're going to say on that one. We
`
`have to move on.
`
`What's your next Rule 50?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: So we also move on notice. Two issues
`
`here. One is that Finjan had an opportunity -- had an
`
`obligation to mark. They had licensees at minimum that,
`
`according to Finjan itself, were selling products covered by
`
`Claim 10. They touted that to the Patent Office, but they
`
`made --
`
`THE COURT: It has to be based on what's touted to the
`
`

`
`jury, not the Patent Office.
`
`MR. HEINRICH: Well, so there were admissions. In
`
`other words, there were admissions and also there were
`
`admissions from Mr. Hartstein that their licensees were
`
`practicing Claim 10.
`
`Undisputed that the licensees were not marking and that
`
`Finjan did not even attempt to require the licensees to mark.
`
`So that means that to be entitled to presuit damages, they have
`
`to provide actual notice. The evidence showed that they did
`
`not provide actual notice with the specificity required by law.
`
`Mr. Garland initially said he told Mr. Coonan Sky ATP. He
`
`recanted at trial. He said, "Well, I had Sky ATP in my mind."
`
`Well, you can't provide notice by telekinesis.
`
`He said advanced --
`
`THE COURT: No, no, no. Telepathy.
`
`(Laughter)
`
`THE COURT: Telekinesis is where you bend the spoon.
`
`MR. HEINRICH: Exactly. Thank you, Your Honor.
`
`THE COURT: Time is short. Your turn.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Okay, Your Honor. So what we --
`
`THE COURT: Take them one at a time. The marking
`
`issue first and then the -- okay?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: So Finjan affirmatively showed that it,
`
`in fact, did mark. It marked its products. It marked its
`
`previous products. There is nothing in the record that there

`
`was a requirement to mark specifically with the '494 patent.
`
`Keep in mind it issued in 2014 and it expired in 2017. So
`
`there was a short period of time. There is only three
`
`references to licenses in the record. The one that
`
`Mr. Hartstein had testified about was Microsoft. That was in
`
`2005, and there was no evidence about the '494 specifically.
`
`There's actually no evidence whatsoever that there was a
`
`requirement to mark.
`
`THE COURT: I asked this question during the trial and
`
`you both -- not you, it was Mr. Andre -- Mr. Andre told me that
`
`some Arctic something letter was sent and that it was your
`
`burden to show that there was marking.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: So -- right.
`
`THE COURT: Yeah?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Yeah, that was actually me. There was
`
`a notice, which was during discovery, that they provided
`
`Arctic Cat's notice.
`
`THE COURT: Yeah.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Then -- but they still at trial have to
`
`present evidence. So what we affirmatively proved --
`
`THE COURT: I thought you said it was your burden.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Right. And we did. We affirmatively
`
`demonstrated that the products that needed to be marked were in
`
`fact marked. We did that with our mobile app. We talked about
`
`the previous Trustwave and Finjan boxes.

`
`THE COURT: That was your products, but how about the
`
`licensed products?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: There are no licensed products that
`
`need to be marked, that's the point, and he testified to that.
`
`There isn't any evidence of it. They didn't present any
`
`evidence that there are products that needed to be marked with
`
`the '494.
`
`THE COURT: Well, that's true. It is true that they
`
`didn't present any evidence -- defendants did not present
`
`evidence that there actually are products out there by
`
`licensees. They got some testimony that there were licensees,
`
`but I did not hear the testimony that there were products. I
`
`don't know.
`
`What am I missing there?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: So two things. Mr. Hartstein's
`
`testimony, he specifically admitted that there were products
`
`from licensees.
`
`THE COURT: Read that to me.
`
`MR. HEINRICH: So while we pull that up --
`
`THE COURT: But products that use the '494?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: That's right.
`
`And then we also admitted into evidence Exhibit 1760.
`
`This was one of Finjan's own responses to the Patent Office in
`
`an IPR, and they identified products sold by F-Secure, Avast,
`
`Proofpoint, and Websense that practiced the '494 patent and

`
`they relied on that for objective considerations of
`
`nonobviousness. They were asserting that.
`
`THE COURT: That's in the record before the jury?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: Yes, it is.
`
`THE COURT: What's the exhibit number?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: 1760.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. What do you say to that?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: No. There were generalized statements
`
`and there's no time frame put in place. So, yeah, what was
`
`testified to explicitly is (reading):
`
`"Finjan believes its licensees are actually using its
`
`patents in those products?" Very generally.
`
`"Yes, we believe that."
`
`And then he testified (reading):
`
`"But there wasn't any requirement for them to mark."
`
`There was no -- there was no requirement that they
`
`actually needed to mark.
`
`THE COURT: Well, there was no requirement in the
`
`license agreement.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: The patent expired. If they're
`
`suggesting that you need to continue marking after the patent
`
`expired, then you've got a false marking issue. They have to
`
`demonstrate that there is actually a requirement.
`
`THE COURT: Look, I'm going to deny this motion
`
`because time is short and the burden is on defendant. We don't

`
`have all day. You have not persuaded me to a moral certainty.
`
`No. It's over. We're not going to go there.
`
`This will go to the jury even though I have some doubts
`
`that the plaintiff has done what they have to do. I must say
`
`it is conceivable after the trial you could convince me that
`
`there was not enough evidence to go to the jury on this issue,
`
`but right now time is short and this is not clear. The damages
`
`was quite clear to me. This one is not clear enough so we're
`
`going to let it go to the jury.
`
`All right. What's your other Rule 50?
`
`MR. HEINRICH: So we do move on infringement, but in
`
`particular --
`
`THE COURT: That will be denied. There's enough
`
`evidence. Plus you guys -- Juniper played slick games. Slick
`
`games. That thing with that doctor from the PTO, Medvidovic --

`MS. KOBIALKA: Medvidovic.
`
`THE COURT: Yeah, that guy. I didn't like what you
`
`did there. I thought that was too cute by half, so you're not
`
`going to win. That motion is denied.
`
`All right. Okay. Do you have a Rule 50?
`
`MR. ANDRE: Your Honor, I'll just preserve it. It was
`
`a motion for infringement.
`
`THE COURT: I want you to know I think you've got a
`
`decent case on infringement, but I'm not prepared to say that I

`
`MR. ANDRE: And the other is we have a motion that
`
`they did not meet -- it's not -- it's going to be before
`
`Your Honor, but we filed the motion for the 101 issue.
`
`THE COURT: That one I want to talk about after the
`
`case goes to the jury. We don't need to get into that one
`
`right now.
`
`MR. ANDRE: That's fine. I just want to preserve it.
`
`That's all we have.
`
`THE COURT: All right. It's preserved.
`
`All right. So now let's go to the jury instructions. I'm
`
`inclined to take out doctrine of equivalents as set forth in
`
`the letter from Ms. Carson because I think Federal Circuit law
`
`requires that there be a better record.
`
`Do you have an objection to that?
`
`MR. ANDRE: We have no objection, Your Honor.
`
`THE COURT: All right.
`
`MR. ANDRE: We had it pled, but we just did not pursue
`
`evidence on that so we have no problem with that.
`
`THE COURT: All right. Thank you.
`
`Okay. So that will come out.
`
`What else? Is it true, as set forth in Ms. Carson's
`
`letter, that on the marking issue that the law requires that
`
`the patent owner make reasonable efforts to ensure that the
`
`licensees who made offer for sale, et cetera, mark the
`
`

`Case 3:17-cv-05659-WHA Document 339 Filed 12/17/18 Page 15 of 151

`
` 846
`
`products? In other words, it's a reasonable efforts thing? Is
`
`that part of the law? Do you agree with that?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Once there's a demonstration that there
`
`is, in fact, a marking requirement of other products. So once
`
`you've -- there's a marking requirement. We've put evidence
`
`forward of all the products that we believe need to be marked
`
`were, in fact, marked during the relevant time frame.
`
`If you demonstrate that there are licensees out there that
`
`should have marked during the, you know, time of the patent
`
`when it was in issue, then you would also have to demonstrate,
`
`as the patentee, that there was substantial and continuous
`
`marking, but that second element wasn't put forward at trial.
`
`THE COURT: Well, when we get to that instruction,
`
`then we may have to fiddle with it.
`
`Okay. Let's go to the jury instructions. And the best
`
`way to do this for me is to go down it paragraph by paragraph.
`
`All right. Any issues with Number 1?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Nothing from Finjan.
`
`MS. CARSON: No, Your Honor. Nothing from defendant.
`
`THE COURT: Number 2?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: 2 is fine.

`

`
`issue was a database, so what we wanted to propose was that --
`
`and if you would -- and if it's easiest, I can read it to you.
`
`The first two questions on the special verdict form ask
`
`whether Finjan has proven by a preponderance of the evidence
`
`that Juniper's accused products meet the last limitation of
`
`Claim 10 of the '494, and just you can remove "either literally
`
`or equivalently"; namely, the last limitation of, quote, "a
`
`database from the element of," and then the remainder of that's
`
`fine.
`
`THE COURT: Isn't that correct?
`
`MS. CARSON: So, Your Honor, the claim needs to be
`
`considered in context and we think it's misleading to say that
`
`all the jury needs to find is that there's a database. They
`
`need to find a database within the meaning of the claim.
`
`So our position is --
`
`THE COURT: Well, what --
`
`MS. CARSON: So it wouldn't be sufficient just that
`
`there is any database in the product. That would be
`
`misleading. It has to be a database that stores downloadable
`
`security profile data as defined in the claim.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: I think that's exactly what we're
`
`saying, though. It is just the database element of the entire
`
`claim element; and throughout the trial, I have quotations even
`
`from Juniper's counsel where they have agreed that that is
`
`actually what is at issue.

`
`We're not disputing that it fits within the context of
`
`that last claim element, but your summary judgment order had
`
`indicated that, for example, the database manager had already
`
`been found.
`
`(Pause in proceedings.)
`
`THE COURT: What if I say that the issue is whether or
`
`not the accused product uses a database within the meaning of
`
`the last limitation? Is that all right?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: That is correct, but I would just make
`
`sure it's "make, use, sells, and offers for sale the database
`
`limitation of" and then you can just read the whole claim
`
`element.
`
`MS. CARSON: I think, Your Honor, it would need to be
`
`within the meaning of the claim, not just within the meaning of
`
`the final element because --
`
`THE COURT: Well, it's only -- isn't it only used in
`
`that one limitation?
`
`MS. CARSON: It is, but the downloadable security
`
`profile data is defined by element 10(b). So in order to
`
`determine what downloadable security profile data needs to be
`
`stored in the database, you have to consider --
`
`THE COURT: All right. Do you care -- where is my
`
`list of the lawyers? Here we go.
`
`Ms. Kobialka, am I saying that right?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: You are.

`
`It's okay when you say the database, you know, as read in
`
`the context of the claim. That's fine.
`
`THE COURT: All right. Okay. So help me with the
`

`
`MS. KOBIALKA: So if I'm looking at your proposal on
`
`page 9 --
`
`THE COURT: Wait. Wait. I thought it was

`
`MR. ANDRE: 18.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Paragraph 18.
`
`THE COURT: 18. Okay. Yes. All right.
`
`So read to me slowly because I don't -- exactly where do
`
`you want to start changing things?
`
`MR. ANDRE: The very first. It says "The first two
`
`questions."
`
`THE COURT: Right.
`
`MR. ANDRE: I believe it should be "The first
`
`question."
`
`THE COURT: "The first question."
`
`MR. ANDRE: Because we're getting rid of doctrine of
`
`equivalents.
`
`THE COURT: Right.

`
`MR. ANDRE: And then it goes there, and you get rid of

`
`THE COURT: Yeah. And then what?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: "Namely, the database"; right?
`
`MR. ANDRE: The last limitation is the database
`
`portion of the last element.
`
`THE COURT: I'm sorry.
`
`MR. ANDRE: I'm sorry.
`
`THE COURT: After I get rid of the parenthetical, I'm

`
`what you want me to do --
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: No.
`
`THE COURT: -- or you're telling me not to?
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: So "Namely, the," quote, "database."
`
`So I'm starting from "namely," which is that last line.
`
`MR. ANDRE: Just say "database within the context of
`
`the claim."
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: Or just say "Namely, the database
`
`within the context" --
`
`MR. ANDRE: "Of the claim."

`
`issue is that it's the database, but I'm going to have to go
`
`back and change so many of the special verdict form and
`
`everything else if I start taking out the -- I've quoted the
`
`last limitation in full, and I want to do that.
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: And we're fine with that, Your Honor.
`
`I just want to make sure that -- because throughout, throughout
`
`trial we've instructed the jury numerous times that it's really
`
`just database structure.
`
`THE COURT: I'm going to say this, line 2 on the next
`
`page (reading):
`
`"The Court and the parties agree that all elements of
`
`Claim 10 are met except they disagree" -- "the parties
`
`disagree, whether the," quote, "database element is met."
`
`MS. KOBIALKA: That would be fine with us.

`
`that term is used in the claim." How about that?

`

`
`know that you lost something.
`
`I'm going to say "The Court has ruled against Juniper."
`
`Do you want me to say that, or do you want me to do it the way

`MS. CARSON: You can do it the way you have it.
