`
`
`TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
`
`NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION
`
`NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 9, 2019, at 8:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as
`
`counsel may be heard by the Honorable William Alsup in Courtroom 12, 19th Floor, located at 450
`
`Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102, Plaintiff Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) will and hereby
`
`does move the Court for an order granting its motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Federal Rule
`
`of Procedure 60(b). This Motion is based on this Notice of Motion, the Memorandum of Points and
`
`Authorities, the trial record, the pleadings and papers on file, and any evidence and argument presented
`
`to the Court.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(2)-(3), Finjan moves for relief from the jury
`
`verdict entered in this action on December 14, 2018 and this Court’s subsequent denial of Finjan’s
`
`Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law on March 11, 2019 (Dkt. Nos. 333, 387, respectively), due to
`
`Juniper’s concealment of key evidence that proved that Sky ATP had a “database” as recited in Claim
`
`10 of U.S. Patent No. 8,677,494 (“the ‘494 Patent”), which was the pivotal issue at the December 2018
`
`trial. Juniper had no reasonable grounds to delay production of such information. Given this newly
`
`discovered evidence and Juniper’s discovery misconduct, a new trial should be ordered.

`
`
`
`MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Finjan is entitled to relief from the jury verdict found on December 14, 2018 (Dkt. No. 333,
`
`
`
`I.
`
`“Verdict”) and this Court’s subsequent order denying Finjan’s Motion for Judgment as a Matter of
`
`Law on March 11, 2019 (Dkt. No. 387, “Order”) because Juniper concealed key evidence during
`
`discovery that proved that Sky ATP had a “database” as recited in Claim 10 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,677,494 (“the ‘494 Patent”), which was the pivotal issue to be determined at the December 2018 trial
`
`(“the December trial”). Juniper’s concealment prevented both the Court and the jury from evaluating
`
`this key evidence of how and where Sky ATP satisfies the “database” element of Claim 10.
`
`Specifically, Juniper withheld key, highly relevant and directly responsive technical documents
`
`regarding Joe Sandbox, a component that Juniper licenses from Joe Security LLC (“Joe Security”), that
`
`demonstrated that Joe Sandbox in Sky ATP uses a “database” to store the results of its analysis, as
`
`recited in Claim 10 of the ‘494 Patent. These documents directly refuted Juniper’s only non-
`
`infringement defense at the December trial and yet, Juniper has no explanation for why it produced
`these Joe Sandbox documents nearly two months after the December 2018 trial, knowing that such
`
`documents were critically important to the infringement case presented in the December 2018 trial.
`
`Particularly troubling is the fact that Juniper has no excuse for its belated production, as Finjan
`
`sought this information over a year ago in discovery. In response to written discovery requests,
`
`Juniper explicitly represented in 2018 that it had completed its production of any documents relevant
`
`to Sky ATP, which is demonstrably false based on Juniper’s February 2019 production. Moreover,
`
`Juniper’s Sky ATP engineers testified at deposition that they had no knowledge of how Joe Sandbox
`
`worked and that it was a “black box” to them.
`
`Juniper’s inexcusable belated production of these key documents is precisely the type of newly
`
`discovered evidence contemplated by Rule 60, which warrants relief from judgment and an order for a
`
`new trial. Without this evidence, Finjan was severely prejudiced at trial, as this key evidence
`
`undermined Juniper’s sole non-infringement defense. Such conduct should not be tolerated.

`
`
`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND
`A.
`Juniper Concealed Key Documents From the December 2018 Trial
`Despite its representation that its responses and production of documents was completed,
`
`Juniper withheld twelve highly relevant documents regarding Joe Sandbox database (“the Joe Sandbox
`
`documents”), a component of Sky ATP, such that Finjan could not present them at the December 2018
`trial.1 These documents, which included the Joe Sandbox User Guide (“User Guide”) and Joe Sandbox
`Interface Guide (“Interface Guide”), described the technical operations of the Joe Sandbox database
`
`(incorporated in Sky ATP) which is an internal database for storing security profiles according to a
`
`rigid directory schema. See Declaration of Kristopher Kastens in Support of Finjan’s Motion for
`
`Relief from Judgment (“Kastens Decl.”), Ex. 1, at JNPR-FNJN_29043_01517143-44 (User Guide
`
`regarding the “Joe Sandbox File Database”); Ex. 2, at JNPR-FNJN_29043_01517207-08 (Interface
`
`Guide describing storage of dynamic analysis results). Significantly, these belatedly produced
`
`documents directly refuted Juniper’s sole non-infringement argument at the December 2018 trial
`
`regarding whether Sky ATP had a “database” of Claim 10 of U.S. Patent No. 8,677,494 (“the ‘494
`
`Patent”) that had a schema. Dkt. No. 189 (Order Granting in Part Early Motion for Summary
`
`Judgment) at 16 (defining “database” as “a collection of interrelated data organized according to a
`
`database schema to serve one or more applications”); id. at 20 (identifying issues for trial).
`
`Juniper’s production of these documents in February 2019 is inexcusable because they were
`
`responsive to numerous discovery requests that Finjan served over a year earlier. For example, on
`
`February 23, 2018, Finjan requested production of all documents relating to any database or database
`
`schema in Juniper’s accused products, which included Sky ATP, and all technical documentation
`
`relating to how dynamic analysis was performed in Sky ATP. Kastens Decl., Ex. 3 at 7, 10 (Request
`
`for Production Nos. 13, 38). Juniper agreed to produce documents in response to these Requests. Id.,
`
`Ex. 4 at 30-32, 78-80. Finjan also served specific document requests for information regarding
`
`operation of Joe Sandbox. Specifically, Finjan served Requests for Production Nos. 87 through 89 on
`
`1 Joe Sandbox is a dynamic analysis system that is licensed and sold by Joe Security LLC (“Joe
`
`Security”), a Swiss company,
` See, e.g., Kastens Decl., Ex. 8 (5/9/18 Tenorio Dep. Tr.) at 126:12-21 (testifying that
`the primary features of Sky ATP
`).

`
`
`July 11, 2018, seeking all documents, communications, and things relating to “the use or
`incorporation of Joe Sandbox or Joe Security into Sky ATP,” “any product exchanged or service
`provided between Juniper and Joe Security,” and “[a]ll Documents, manuals, guides, or other
`documents provided by Joe Security to Juniper, including documents descri[bing] the operation, use,
`or API of any Joe Security product, including its Joe Sandbox …” Kastens Decl., Ex. 5 at 6
`
`(emphasis added). Juniper’s response to these requests was the false assertion that Juniper had
`
`completed its Sky ATP production and there was nothing further that was responsive to produce.
`
`Kastens Decl., Ex. 6 at 7-11. There is no dispute that the belatedly produced Joe Sandbox documents
`
`were responsive to these requests and that Juniper never asserted that it was withholding documents
`
`responsive to either of these Requests, as is explicitly required pursuant to Rule 34(b)(2)(C) of the
`
`Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(b)(2)(C) (“An objection must state whether
`
`any responsive materials are being withheld on the basis of that objection. An objection to part of a
`
`request must specify the part and permit inspection of the rest.”) The documents that Juniper did
`
`produce prior to the December 2018 trial regarding Joe Sandbox were its agreements with Joe Security
`for use of Joe Sandbox.2 See, e.g., Kastens Decl., Ex. 7 (Joe Security License Agreement).
`In addition to document requests, Finjan also served, on April 27, 2018, an interrogatory on
`Juniper to “identify and describe all Databases that are incorporated or used, either directly or
`indirectly, by the Accused Instrumentalities.” Kastens Decl., Ex. 9 at 6 (Interrogatory No. 12)
`
`(emphasis added). Juniper identified databases in its response, including DynamoDB and Amazon
`
`RDS, and acknowledged that these databases which stored the results of the analysis of Sky ATP are
`
`relevant to the claims at issue, even though Juniper later asserted they did not satisfy the “database”
`
`element. Kastens Decl., Ex. 10 at 13-14. Juniper omitted the Joe Sandbox database from its response,
`
`compare Ex. 1 at JNPR-FNJN_29043_01517143-44 with Ex. 2 at JNPR-FNJN_29043_01517207-08

`
`
`
`
`
`Finjan also pursued deposition testimony regarding the Joe Sandbox database. For example,
`
`during the first deposition in this case, Juniper’s senior engineer generally testified that
`
`
`
`
`
`. See, e.g., Kastens Decl., Ex. 8 (5/9/18 Tenorio Dep. Tr.) at 73:14-15; 76:20-77:2; 261:18-269:1
`
`(testifying generally about
`
`, but without
`
`knowledge of the content of its reports or its operations). In subsequent depositions, however,
`
`Juniper’s key engineers testified that Juniper had little understanding of Joe Sandbox’s inner workings
`
`and that it was like a “black box”—a story that appears designed to convince Finjan that Juniper had
`
`no Joe Sandbox technical documents or basic understanding of how Joe Sandbox worked. Id. (5/9/18
`
`Tenorio Dep. Tr.) at 155:16-156:2; 157:4-7; 163:4-16; 73:14-15; 76:20-77:2; 261:18-269:1 (engineer
`
`for Sky ATP describing the workings of Joe Sandbox as a “black box” and claiming she did not know
`
`how it worked or what reports looked like); see also id., Ex. 11 (5/31/18 Nagarajan Dep. Tr.) at 33:18-
`
`34:3 (head of Sky ATP development stating that he is not fully aware of how Joe Sandbox works); id.,
`
`Ex. 12 (5/30/18 Manthena Dep. Tr.) at 201:9-23 (engineer for SRX Gateway stating that
`
`
`
`).
`
`Finjan had also conducted a diligent independent search to find Joe Sandbox technical
`
`documents after learning that Juniper used Joe Sandbox. Finjan could not locate any publicly available
`
`Joe Security documents or guides from Joe Security’s website or through an extensive search of the
`
`Internet. Kastens Decl. ¶ 2. Thus, Finjan had no reason to believe that Juniper was withholding
`
`highly relevant documents.
`B.
`Juniper Made A Belated Production of Technical Documents About Joe Sandbox.
`That Juniper had such important technical documents and did not produce them despite
`
`repeated requests by Finjan came as a surprise. In fact, Juniper only made this production, however,
`
`after Finjan pointed to a document produced just before trial that suggested that Juniper had been
`
`withholding responsive documents to its previous requests. Specifically, on November 6, 2018, in the
`
`midst of preparations for the December trial and well after expert reports were served and depositions
`
`were taken, Juniper belatedly produced an email in which its employee had attached a document that

`
`
`
`
`
`referenced the installation of Joe Sandbox. See, e.g., Kastens Decl., Ex. 13. Immediately after the
`
`December trial concluded, Finjan inquired whether Juniper had failed to produce technical documents
`
`relating to Joe Sandbox given this email. Kastens Decl., Ex. 14 at 2-3. Juniper thereafter produced the
`Joe Sandbox documents in February 2019, which was well after the December 2018 trial and after the
`
`conclusion of post-trial briefing on the parties’ competing motions for judgment as a matter of law.
`
`Dkt. Nos. 352, 353; Kastens Decl., Ex. 15.
`
`These technical documents written by Joe Security (that Finjan had been requesting since
`
`February 2018) provided detailed information on how Joe Sandbox performed dynamic analysis. The
`
`most compelling document is the User Guide, which described the presence of a “File Database” in Joe
`
`Sandbox, along with the “Joe Sandbox Web API Guide,” “Joe Sandbox IDA Guide,” “Joe Sandbox
`
`Cookbook Guide,” “Joe Sandbox Update Guide,” “Joe Sandbox Signature Guide,” “Joe Sandbox
`
`Scaling Guide,” and “Joe Sandbox Interface Guide” (together, “Joe Security documents”). Critically,
`
`the User Guide showed that Joe Sandbox,
`
`,
`
`has its own internal database that it uses to store the results of its dynamic analysis. Kastens Decl., Ex.
`
`1 at JNPR-FNJN_29043_01517143-44. The document shows that it stores the results of the analysis in
`a rigid directory schema that is referred to as the “File Database Format” and that includes storing all
`
`of the “analysis” data for the dynamic analysis, including “generated behaviors reports.” Id.
`
`Also notable is the Joe Sandbox Interface Guide, which further describes that for any malware
`

`
`
`
`
`
`C.
`
`Juniper Misrepresented to the Court and Jury That No Database Like the Joe
`Sandbox File Database Existed.
`The User Guide and Interface Guide’s descriptions of the Joe Sandbox database directly
`
`addressed a key issue in the December 2018 trial, namely that Sky ATP had a database with a schema.
`
`Juniper’s failure to produce these documents prevented the Court and jury from evaluating all the
`
`evidence of how and where Sky ATP stores its analysis data. The construction of “database” in this
`
`case is “a collection of interrelated data organized according to a database schema to serve one or more
`
`applications.” Dkt. No. 189 at 16. During the trial, Juniper’s expert, Dr. Rubin, testified that “[s]o a
`
`database schema is a very specific thing . . . If you're going to have a schema in a database, you have to
`figure out what all those fields are in advance … That’s a very strict structure for that database ….”
`
`Kastens Decl., Ex. 16 (12/13/18 Trial Tr.) at 742:3-743:4. Dr. Rubin relied on this description of a
`“schema” for a database as the central reason why Sky ATP allegedly did not infringe the ‘494 Patent.3
`Juniper made misrepresentations to the Court and jury based on this testimony, arguing in its closing
`
`that:
`
`You saw this diagram when Dr. Rubin was testifying. This is the fundamental
`architecture of the Sky ATP. It shows where Juniper stores all of its data, including the
`security profiles. And there are three solutions that Juniper uses. They’re at the bottom
`right. One is the Amazon DynamoDB. Some security profiles are stored there. One is the
`Amazon S3. Some security profiles are stored there. The third storage solution is called
`MySQL. And that's a database that we agree that that has a schema. But no security
`profiles are stored there. So Finjan has sort of a mix and match problem. They can find
`a database within the meaning of the claim, the definition of the construction, but they
`can’t find any security profiles being stored in there. And they can find where the
`security profiles are being stored, which is DynamoDB and S3, but those don't have a
`schema and, therefore, don't qualify as databases under the Court’s construction. That’s
`why there can be no infringement in this case.
`Kastens Decl., Ex. 17 (12/14/18 Trial Tr.) at 931:13-932:6 (emphasis added to highlight false
`
`statements contradicted by the User Guide). The Court cited this closing argument as the main reason
`
`why the Court considered a finding of non-infringement justified at the hearing on the parties’ post-
`
`
`3 Finjan disagrees with Juniper’s characterization that its other databases did not have a schema and
`fall within this Court’s construction of “database.” Regardless, as described, the Joe Sandbox database
`includes a “strict structure” that is set “in advance,” to use Dr. Rubin’s terminology, which would
`satisfy the database limitation at issue even under Juniper’s interpretation.

`
`
`
`
`
`trial motions. Id., Ex. 18 (2/21/19 Hearing Tr.) at 3:21-4:8 (commenting that the Court found Juniper’s
`
`counsel’s statements at closing, in particular, to be persuasive).
`
`Juniper, however, did not present to the Court and jury a complete picture of where Juniper
`stores all of its security profile and analysis data. As it turns out, Juniper’s Sky ATP had another
`
`solution, the Joe Sandbox database. And Juniper’s withholding of meaningful technical discovery
`
`regarding Joe Sandbox in discovery leading up to the December 2018 trial, so precluded Finjan from
`
`presenting such evidence at trial. Due to Juniper’s discovery misconduct, Finjan was unable to present
`
`the fact that the Joe Sandbox database was a match for Juniper’s Dr. Rubin’s “description” of a
`
`database with schema, because it stores analysis data and behavior reports according to predetermined
`
`fields so that the information is easily accessible. Kastens Decl., Ex. 1 at JNPR-
`
`FNJN_29043_01517143-44; Ex. 2 at JNPR-FNJN_29043_01517208. Given the newly discovered
`
`evidence that Juniper finally produced nearly two months after trial, the Verdict and subsequent Order
`
`on the parties’ competing motions for judgment as a matter of law were incomplete and tainted by
`
`Juniper’s misconduct.
`D.
`Juniper Has Not Offered Any Colorable Excuse for Its Misconduct.
`Counsel for both parties met and conferred on March 8, 2019, in connection with this motion.
`
`Kastens Decl., Ex. 19. Finjan specifically asked Juniper if it had produced the technical information in
`
`these documents in another form. Kastens Decl., ¶ 3. Juniper had no response. Id. Finjan further
`
`asked what was Juniper’s purported basis for withholding the documents until February 2019. Id.
`
`Juniper responded that it had not located the documents during collection and made the excuse that
`
`Finjan could have subpoenaed Joe Security for these documents. Id. Juniper did not (and could not)
`
`represent that the Joe Security documents were outside its possession, custody, or control at any time.
`
`Id. Juniper’s excuse falls flat, given that it had ten months between Finjan’s first requests and trial to
`
`locate the documents. Moreover, the Joe Sandbox documents all contain simple keywords that can be
`
`identified from Finjan’s discovery requests, such that any basic search within Juniper’s records for the
`
`documents that Finjan requested would have revealed the documents (e.g., “Joe Sandbox,” “Joe
`
`Security,” “dynamic analysis,” “guide,” “cookbook,” “database”). Certainly given Juniper’s written

`
`
`
`
`
`discovery responses and deposition testimony, Finjan had no way of knowing that Juniper had
`
`concealed these documents from Finjan and from the December 2018 trial.
`E.
`This Is Not Juniper’s First Offense with Respect to Discovery Misconduct.
`Juniper employed similar gamesmanship earlier in this case. Juniper belatedly produced
`
`expansive spreadsheets regarding purported revenues which was highly relevant to Finjan’s damages
`
`case. See Kastens Decl., Ex. 20 (12/4/18 Pretrial Hearing Tr.) at 76:1-17 (noting without ruling that
`
`the late production of a 17,000 page document relating to damages was troubling and Finjan could
`
`request a deposition at Juniper’s expense before trial if the defense intended to use the document).
`
`Withholding discovery or belatedly producing highly relevant discovery that one uses to its advantage
`
`in its case violates the basic principles of discovery and fairness.
`III. ARGUMENT
`A.
`Juniper’s Withholding of Relevant Documents Responsive to Finjan’s 2018
`Document Requests Is Newly Discovered Evidence.
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(2), the Court may grant Finjan relief from
`
`the Verdict and post-trial Order of non-infringement entered in this action because Finjan has newly
`
`discovered evidence from Juniper that it could not have reasonably discovered before the deadline to
`
`move for a new trial, which was January 10, 2019. Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(2) (“On motion and just
`terms, the court may relieve a party or its legal representative from a final judgment, order, or
`
`proceeding for the following reasons: … (2) newly discovered evidence that, with reasonable
`
`diligence, could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial”); see Dkt. No. 348 (setting
`
`deadline for post-trial motions). Relief should be granted because: (1) the User Guide, Interface
`
`Guide, and other Joe Sandbox documents are “newly discovered evidence”; (2) Finjan “exercised due
`
`diligence to discover this evidence”; and (3) the User Guide, Interface Guide, and other Joe Sandbox
`
`documents are of “such magnitude that production of it earlier would have been likely to change the
`
`disposition of the case.” See Feature Realty, Inc., v. City of Spokane, 331 F.3d 1082, 1093 (9th Cir.
`
`2003) (quoting Coastal Transfer Co. v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., 833 F.2d 208, 211 (9th Cir.
`
`1987)). By its plain language, Rule 60(b) encompasses many types of final proceedings other than

`
`final judicial entries of judgment.4 See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b); see also Webster v. U.S., 93 Fed.Cl. 676,
`678-79, n.2 (Ct. Cl. 2010) (“The entry of a formal judgment ... is not a prerequisite to the availability
`
`of relief under Rule 60(b). By its terms, Rule 60(b) applies to final orders and final proceedings as well
`
`as to judgments.”) (quoting 12 James Wm. Moore et al., Moore’s Federal Practice § 60.02[2] (3d
`
`ed.2004)) (ellipse in original). Juniper’s withholding of key Joe Security documents until after the
`
`completion of trial and post-trial briefing meets all of these elements.
`
`1.
`
`Juniper Concealed Relevant Documents Containing New Evidence in Spite
`of Finjan’s Diligence.
`Finjan worked diligently from February 2018 to obtain discovery of any database used by Sky
`
`ATP, serving several documents requests and an interrogatory specifically seeking such information.
`
`Juniper’s discovery responses, however, intentionally concealed the fact that it was refusing to produce
`
`responsive documents, like the Joe Sandbox User Guide and Interface Guide. For example, Juniper
`
`omitted
`
` in its interrogatory response identifying
`
`databases, despite naming other databases that Juniper contended did not meet the construction of a
`“database.” 5 See Kastens Decl., Ex. 10 at 13-14 (Response to Interrogatory No. 12). Juniper also did
`not produce Joe Sandbox documents, other than its agreements with Joe Security, thereby
`
`
`4 Courts in the Ninth Circuit have considered the impact of misconduct or misrepresentation on jury
`verdicts and have considered verdicts together with final judgments in their analyses. See, e.g.,
`Robinson v. Delgado, No. CV 02-1538 NJV, 2010 WL 3448558
