`
`This petition presents "a reasonable likelihood that the Petitioner would prevail
`
`with respect to at least one of the claims challenged in the petition". 35 USC
`
`§ 3l4(a), as shown in the Grounds explained below.

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`A. Declaration of Dr. Dennis Allison
`
`The declaration of Dennis Allison is attached as Exhibit l002.
`
`B. Technical Background
`
`Overview of the '993 Patent
`
`The disclosure of the ’993 patent relates to the computerized handling of contact
`
`information. Contact information is information that is related to a person—such
`
`as the person’s name, telephone number, postal address, email address, etc. EX
`
`1002 at 1] 38.
`
`The ’993 patent ”handles" such contact information with a system that facilitates
`
`interaction between programs that use text documents (like word processors) and
`

`
`databases of contact information. EX.
`
`lOOZ at W 38—39. Such databases can be
`
`called ”contact databases” or "address books". Ex. lGOZ at ll 30‘, These databases
`
`can contain information relating to people, such as their names, telephone
`
`numbers, email addresses postal addresses, and notes relating to the person. Id.
`
`The interaction between programs like word processors and contact databases
`
`can be illustrated with reference to Figures 3 and 4 of the '993 patent. These
`
`figures depict screens that a person might see when using a word processing
`
`program“ The relevant portions of the figures are shown side-by—side here:
`
`
`
`
`
`Figure 3 on the left shows a word processor window, in which a user has
`
`entered a name“ The name is processed by the '993 patent system after the user
`
`clicks the "OneButton" 42 in the upper right part of the window. Clicking the
`
`”OneButton” causes the system to ”retrieve the name... from the document” and
`
`"searchfl a database for the name... .”. EX. mm at 6:26—28. Assuming that the

`
`Petition for later Partes Review
`
`US. Pat. No. 8,306,993
`
`search finds an address associated with the name, the system then inserts the
`
`address into the word processing document, as depicted in Fig. 4 on the right. EX.
`
`l002 at ll 39.
`
`The bulk of the '993 patent relates to a high -level description of operations like
`
`these. The specification describes the user taking certain actions in a GUI, which
`
`result in operations being performed on contact information. These actions can
`
`include adding a contact to a contact database, or sending an email based on the
`
`contact information. Ex.1002 at ll 40.
`
`The specification of the '993 patent, however, relates mainly to the end-result of
`
`contact information handling, that is, What the user of the computer system
`
`experiences as he or she uses the system. Exactly how these end-results are
`
`achieved is described only at the highest level. For example, the ‘993 patent
`
`provides no source code or pseudo code. High—level flowcharts for some
`
`embodiments are included, EX. l00l at Figs. l, 2, and lo, but each of these is
`
`limited. to a general description of the desired functionality, with no
`
`implementation detail. EX. l002 at filfil 40—4l.
`
`ln fact, the '993 patent relies on existing word processors and existing databases
`
`to implement its contact management method, assuming that the person of ordinary
`
`skill can fill in the detail. The methods of the '993 patent are implemented on
`
`standard well—known operating systems and ordinary commodity computer

`
`hardware, all of which were readily available well before the filing of the
`
`application leading to the '993 patent. Ex. l002 at fill 42—53.
`
`II.
`
`STATE OF THE ART AT THE CLAIMED PRIORITY DATE
`
`in the years leading up to earliest possible priority date (Sep. l998), numerous
`
`systems existed that used personal computers to manage personal contact
`
`information. These systems integrated. sophisticated. contact database technology
`
`available at the time (Ex. lOOZ at Till 45-47) with applications like word processors
`
`as well as applications that performed communications (such as email
`
`applications). Ex. lOllE at f 30—37.
`
`For example, systems had been developed for analyzing text in a document to
`
`detect contact information in a document, and assisting the user in taking
`
`appropriate actions based on the information discovered. For example US. Patent

`
`Another example was the ”Drop Zones” system described in an article by
`
`Bonura and Miller (Ex. l006). Drop Zones integrated a text recognition approach
`
`akin to aniw into common applications like word processors. The text
`
`recognition system of Drop Zones identified things like names, telephone numbers
`
`and email addresses, and allowed the designer of the system to create arbitrary
`
`tasks. The Drop Zones system also used an electronic address book to convert
`
`between different kinds of contact information, and allowed the applications to
`
`update the address book with identified contact information. Fig. 2 of the Bonura
`
`article is shown below, and depicts how a name identified in a document can be
`
`used to cause a looknp on a name to retrieve an email address, thereby allowing an
`
`email to be sent. Ex. lOllZ at W 29, 92-93.

`
`Petition for inter Pattes Review
`
`US. Pat. No, 8,306,993
`
`A claim in inter partes review is given the "broadest reasonable construction in
`
`light of the specification” See 37 CPR, § 42.l00(b). As stated by the Federal
`
`Circuit in the case In re ICON Health and Fitness, Inc:
`
`"[Tlhe PTO must give claims their broadest reasonable construction
`
`consistent with the specification, Therefore, we look to the
`
`specification to see if it provides a definition for claim terms, but
`
`otherwise apply a broad interpretation. "
`
`496 F.3d l3’74, 1379 (Fed. Cir. 2007).
`
`in particular, claims in interpartes
`
`review should not be limited by party argument (whether in this or a prior
`
`proceeding). To the extent that the Patent Owner desires a claim term to be
`
`interpreted more narrowly than its broadest reasonable interpretation in light of the
`
`specification, the Patent Owner must show that the specification provides an
`
`express definition for the relevant portions of the claims, or amend the claims, See
`
`SAP v. Versata, CBMZOlZ—OOOOl, Pat. App. LEXIS 3788, *8 (PTAB June ll,
`
`20l3). As found by the en banc Federal Circuit:
`
`"if, in reexamination, an examiner determines that particular claims
`
`are invalid and need amendment to be allowable, one would expect an
`
`examiner to require amendment rather than accept argument alone."
`
`Marine Polymer Tech, Inc. v. HemCon, Inc, 672 F.3d l350, l364 (Fed. Cir.
`
`20l2)(en banc).
`
`For the purposes of this proceeding, claim terms are presumed to take on their

`
`Petition for inter Partes Review
`
`US. Pat. No, 8,306,993
`
`broadest reasonable ordinary meaning. This meaning is explained in certain
`
`instances in the following subsections. The Petitioners note that the standard of
`
`claim construction used in district courts differs from the standard applied before
`
`the USPTO, Any claim constructions in this Petition are directed to the USPTO
`
`standard, and are not necessarily the constructions that the Petitioners believe
`
`would be adopted in court, The Petitioners do not acquiesce or admit to the
`
`constructions reflected herein for any purpose outside of this proceeding.
`
`A. Claims 1, 9, and 17 — "Contact Database"
`
`The term "contact database" is used in the independent claims of the '993
`
`patent. The term is not expressly defined in the specification. The word
`
`”database" is used broadly. Ex, lOOl at 4:ll—l4; 9:40—55 and l2:7—l4; Ex, l002 at
`
`W 60-62. The only apparent requirement of the database is that it must allow
`
`access to stored information. Ex. lOOZ at W 60—62. As to the word ”contact”, the
`
`specification includes in the concept of "contact information" names and addresses,
`
`but also ”other information, such as telephone numbers, fax numbers, e—mail
`
`addresses, etc," as well as ”mailing lists," Ex. lOOl at 4:42—48; Ex. lGOZ at W 60—
`
`62. Therefore, the broadest reasonable interpretation of the term ”contact
`
`database” is ”software that allows access to information related to a person”.
`
`B. Claims 1, 9, and 17 — "Initiating Electronic Communication"
`
`The term "initiating electronic communication" is used in claims l, :9, and l7.

`
`The specification has little discussion of initiating electronic communications. EX.
`
`lOOZ at ll 63—64, Ex lOOl at 4:42—48. Under the broadest reasonable
`
`interpretation, the term "initiating an electronic communication" should thus mean
`
`”starting a process that leads to an electronic communication”. Ex. l002 at “H 63-
`
`64.
`
`C. Allowing the User to Make a Decision Whether...
`
`The independent claims require in element (iii):
`
`”allowing the user to make a decision whether to store at least art of
`
`the first contact information in the contact database as a new contact
`
`or to update an existing contact in the contact database,” EX. lOOl at
`
`claim l (emphasis added).
`
`This limitation is ambiguous.
`
`it could mean the user is allowed to make a
`
`decision between storing and updating, or that the user is allowed to make a
`
`”decision whether to store. .
`
`. or a decision whether to update. " The latter
`
`interpretation presents the user either with a choice to store or not to store, or; with
`
`a choice to update or not to update. EX.
`
`lOOZ at W 65—67. The specification
`
`supports the second interpretation. Ex. lOOl at 6247454; l0:l7-24;8:62~9:TO, Figs.
`
`ll and l3; Ex. lOO'Z at “N 67—69. Because the term is ambiguous, the broadest
`
`reasonable interpretation should include either construction. Ex. lOOZ at “J70.

`
`IV. CLAIM-BY-CLAIM EXPLANATION OF GROUNDS FOR
`
`UNPATENTABILITY.
`
`Ground 1. Claims 1-4, 6-12, 14-20, and 22-24 are invalid under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 103 over Bonura in View of Magnanelli.
`
`Claims l—M are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § l03 over Thomas Bonura and James
`
`R. Miller, "Drop Zones: An Extension to LiveDoc," SigCHI Bulletin, vol. 30 no. 2,
`
`April l998 (”Bonnra”) (EX. 1006) in View of Mario Magnanelli, Antonia Erni, and
`
`Moira Norrie, "ACADEMlA: An Agent-Maintained Database based on
`
`information Extraction from Web Documents,” Proceedings of the 14th European
`
`Meeting on Cybernetics and Systems Research, Vienna Austria, April
`
`l998 (lMagnanelliUtEX. l007).
`
`Bonura is an article published in the bulletin for the Association for Computing
`
`Machinery’s "Special interest Group on Computer—Human interaction,” also
`
`known as the SigCHI Bulletin, in April 1998, Ex. l002 at till 73—74, Bonura
`
`therefore qualifies as prior art under 35 U.S.C. §§ l02(a) and (b). Magnanelli is an

`
`proceedings of that conference. Ex. 1017. Furthermore, Magnane11i was presented
`
`at a conference on Aprii 14, 1998 and available oniine and indexed by the
`
`archiveorg servers no iater than Feb. 10, 1998. Ex. 1016. Magnaneiii was thus
`
`pubiiciy accessibie as of these dates. Ex. 1002 at 11 104. Therefore, Magnane11i is
`
`prior art under 35 USC. § 102(a) and (b).
`
`The 1eve1 of ordinary shiii in the art is provided. in the Aiiison deciaration (Ex.
`
`1002) at iii] 19—37. The Background and ciairn construction sections are
`
`incorporated in this Ground.
`
`Bonura teaches a computer system for arraiyzing text in a document, and then
`
`aiiowing the user to take specific actions based on identified text. Ex. 1002 at 1] 75.
`
`The process of identifying specific text in a document is based on the Macintosh
`
`LiveDoc system. As Bonura exp1ains:
`
`”Livefloc [61 is an extension to the Macintosh user experience that
`
`aiiovvs documents to reveai structured information in such a way
`
`that it can be readiiy identified and used to achieve specific actions.
`
`Various kinds of recognizers, inc1uding context free grammars, are
`
`used to describe the structures to be found; these structures can be
`
`made up of either a singie 1exica1 term (either a variabie structure him
`
`a phone number, or a coiiection of static strings, irke company names)
`
`or multipie terms (for instance, a meeting can be defined as a
`
`combination of date, time, and venue structures). Smaii pieces of
`
`code can then be associated with each structure to instruct
`
`appiications to carry out specific user actions on the discovered

`structures— perhaps to tell a telephony application to "Dial this
`
`phone numher." These actions can then he offered to users by
`
`visually highlighting the discovered structures and attaching pop
`
`up menus to the highlights." Ex. l006, p. 59, left column (emphasis
`
`added). Ex. l002 at ‘1] 86.
`
`Bonura discloses that the information identified in a document can he a name,
`
`telephone number (see quote above), an email address (Fig l and caption, Fig“ 3),
`
`etc. Ex.
`
`lOOZ at “J 88-90.
`
`Bonura describes extending the LiveDoc system with "Drop Zones". Ex. 1006,
`
`p, 60, left column” Drop Zones allows a user to make context—based decisions on
`
`the identified information. For example, Bonura discloses that Drop Zones can
`
`interact with an address book (contact database), Ex. l002 at ii 77 The address
`
`book can be searched by Drop Zones to convert an identified phone number into an
`
`email address in the address book. The email address, for example, can then be
`
`used to send an email, This is shown in Fig. l ofBonura, reproduced here with red

`

`
`an address hook easily leads tn the interpretation, 'Add this person
`

`
`Bonura is thus very similar to the "993 patent claims.
`
`Magnanelli, in turn, teaches a system (”Academia”) for scanning documents (in
`
`this case, Web pages), where the scanned information can be used to interact with
`
`a contact: database. Ex, l002 at fil l05, Figure l of Magnanelli, reproduced below,

`

`
`states, however, that ”the general concepts of this system may be used in other

`
`Magnanelli‘s system also has an Academia Agent (shown at right in the

`
`diagram). The Academia Agent performs scanning of documents to recognize
`
`structures of interest in the documents (Ex. l002 at fillOS), just like Bcnura.
`
`The document scanning in Magnanelli can identify particular structures that
`
`represent contact and other information about a person. Ex. lGOZ at ll l l l—l l2,
`
`ll4. Magnanelli teaches that, when potential additional contact information is
`
`identified for a contact, the system can give the user a choice as to whether the
`
`contact database should be updated with the new information. EX. mm at W l 15-
`
`ll7. %or example, Magnanelli states:
`
`"The key contact information in the database consists ofperson names
`
`and WWW addresses. The name is necessary to identify the person,
`
`while the address is a general starting point for the agent to search for
`
`updates, The database also stores general facts about persons such as
`
`title, address, photo and information about research activities
`
`including the titles of publications, URLs leading to abstracts or a
`
`publication file, project titles and URLs ofpages containing turther
`
`information on the project. The user accesses the database directly to
`
`retrieve and process information on academic contacts. The Academia
`
`agent provides a value-added service by using information extracted
`
`from Web documents to maintain the database and ensure its
`
`currency. The agent may either update the database directly, or
`
`consult with the user as to whether or not it should perform the
`
`updates," Magnanelli, Ex. T1007, p. 00002 (right column).

`
`1. It would have been obvious to combine Bonura with Magnanelli
`
`it would have been obvious to combine Bonura with Magnanelli Ex. lGOZ at
`
`W l26—137. Bonura discloses a base system that provides semantically appropriate
`
`choices to a user upon the identification in a document of certain kinds of
`
`structures. EX. “3%, p. 60, left column; Ex. 1002 at ll l25. The structures can
`
`include the kinds of information normally found in a contact information database
`
`(typically called an "address book"). Ex. 1006, p, 60, left column. For example,
`
`an address book will typically contain names and phone numbers. Bonura teaches
`
`automatically recognizing such address—book type information in text documents.
`
`EX.
`
`lOOG, p, 5.9 introduction; p. 60, left column; EX.
`
`lOOfZ at l 125.
`
`Bonura further teaches that, as an extension of LiveDoc, the disclosed ”Drop
`
`Zones" system can cause processing functions (executable code) to be associated
`
`with the identification of such contact information. ior example, Bonura states:
`
`"Various kinds of recognizers, including context free grammars, are
`
`used to describe the structures to be found; these structures can be
`
`made up of either a single lexical term (either a variable structure like
`
`a phone number, or a collection of static strings, like company names)
`
`or multiple terms (for instance, a meeting can be defined as a
`
`combination of date, time, and venue structures), Small pieces of
`
`code can then be associated with each structure to instruct
`
`applications to carry out specific user actions on the discovered
`

`
`number." These actions can then be offered to users by visually
`
`highlighting the discovered structures and attaching pop~up menus to
`
`the highlights." Bonura, Ex. l006, p. 59, (left colurnn)(emphasis
`
`added), Ex. l002 at $2.6.
`
`Bonura explains that the code that can be associated with particular structures is
`
`more—or-less arbitrary. Ex. 1002 at 1i l2’7.
`
`in fact, developers could develop so
`
`many different functions to be executed based on the identification of a particular
`
`structure in a document that the choice between them would threaten to overwhelm
`
`the user. Ex. l006, p. 59, right column. To assist in selecting the appropriate
`
`functions for any given situation, Bonura described a contextual, semantic process
`
`for choosing functions to associate with certain structures. That is, Bonura teaches
`
`extending the function
