`
`DECLARATION OF EUGENE LHYMN
`
`I, Eugene Lhymn, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am over 21 years of age, and have personal knowledge of, and am competent to
`
`testify, regarding the following.
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 316 Filed 03/11/21 Page 2 of 24 PageID #: 31280
`
`2. I am currently CEO and Founder of Sherman Patent Search Group (SPSG), a patent search
`
`firm headquartered in Pasadena, CA, with offices in Washington, D.C. SPSG is a medium-sized
`
`search firm that has technical experience that spans across all technology areas.
`
`3. I graduated from Penn State University with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering
`
`in 2004.
`
`4. Between 2000 and 2004, I held various engineering positions at Bayer Corporation,
`
`Applied Research Lab (PSU), and Air Products and Chemicals.
`
`5. Between 2004 and 2005, I was a patent examiner in the Art Unit 3727 (mechanical) at the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`6. Between 2005 and 2012, I was a senior patent analyst at Cardinal IP, where I performed
`
`patent searching
`
`7. I have extensive patent searching experience. Throughout my career as a private and public
`
`patent searcher, I have performed approximately 2,500 searches. In addition to these searches, I
`
`have performed a managing role for another approximately 4,500 patent searches. I have
`
`personally performed more than 250 searches in the software field.
`
`8. I have been asked by counsel for Arendi S.à.r.l. whether certain references could have been
`
`found by a skilled searcher’s diligent search. I have been told that one way of showing a skilled
`
`searcher’s diligent search is (1) to identify the relevant search string and search source that would
`
`identify the allegedly unavailable prior art and (2) present evidence, likely expert testimony, why
`
`such a criterion would be part of a skilled searcher’s diligent search.
`
`9. Specifically, I have been asked to provide an opinion as to whether the prior art references
`
`mentioned below would have been located by a skilled searcher’s diligent search, used by the
`
`defendant on December 2, 2014 or at any time during the four months preceding that date (the
`
`
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 316 Filed 03/11/21 Page 3 of 24 PageID #: 31281
`
`“timeframe”) by someone searching for patents in the technical field of the ’843 Patent. I
`
`understand that Motorola Mobility LLC and Google LLC (collectively, “Defendants”) filed for
`
`inter partes review (“the IPR”) in connection with the U.S. Patent No. 7,917,843 (the ’843 patent)
`
`on December 2, 2014. In particular, I focused on the subject matter of Claims 1, 8, 23, 30 of the
`
`’843 Patent. Claim 8 depends from Claims 1, so the subject matter of Claim 1 was necessarily a
`
`part of my search regarding Claim 8. Claim 30 depends from Claim 23, so the subject matter of
`
`Claim 23 was necessarily a part of my search regarding Claim 30.
`
`10. A skilled searcher conducting a diligent search with regard to Claims 1, 8, 23, 30 of the
`
`’843 patent in the timeframe would have conducted a search for prior art references to the ’843
`
`patent in a variety of ways, including using search terms, patent classification codes, citations,
`
`cross-citations among prior art references, assignee-based searching, inventor-based searching,
`
`jurisdiction-based searching, and/or combinations thereof. For Claims 1, 8, 23, 30 of the ‘843
`
`Patent, the relevant classifications include at least:
`
`•
`
`IPC class G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING), subclass 17* (all
`
`subclasses under 17/00 - Digital computing or data processing equipment or methods,
`
`specially adapted for specific functions).
`
`• CPC class Y10S (TECHNICAL SUBJECTS COVERED BY FORMER USPC CROSS-
`
`REFERENCE ART COLLECTIONS [XRACs] AND DIGESTS), subclass 715* (all
`
`subclasses under 715/00 - Data processing: presentation processing of document, operator
`
`interface processing, and screen saver display processing)
`
`• CPC class G06F (ELECTRIC DIGITAL DATA PROCESSING)
`
`11. A skilled searcher would have conducted a prior art search for the ’843 patent using a
`
`variety of prior art search databases, including both patent and non-patent literature databases. A
`
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 316 Filed 03/11/21 Page 4 of 24 PageID #: 31282
`
`skilled searcher would also have conducted a prior art search for the ’843 patent using prior art
`
`search databases indexing English language references as well as foreign language references. I
`
`was personally familiar with several prior art search tools available throughout the timeframe,
`
`including Patbase, which is a prior art search tool that provides prior art searching functionality
`
`across patent prior art databases in both English and foreign languages. Patbase includes (and did
`
`include during the timeframe) search features to search across all patent fields, including titles,
`
`abstracts, summaries, claims, detailed description, classification codes, citations, and full text.
`
`Patbase also includes English titles and abstracts of foreign language references. A skilled searcher
`
`during the timeframe would have understood this and, using Patbase as one of their search tools,
`
`would have used English keywords to search for prior art references.
`
`12. A skilled searcher would also have searched all prior art references cited on the face of the
`
`’843 patent. A skilled searcher during the timeframe would have examined every prior art
`
`reference listed on the face of the ’843 for potential relevance. Non-patent literature (NPL)
`
`references cited on the face of the ‘843 patent would have been located by utilizing PAIR, ordering
`
`the File Wrapper from the USPTO, or by visiting the USPTO library and obtaining the physical
`
`File Wrapper, which includes copies of cited NPL references.
`
`13. A skilled searcher would have frequently searched prior art references cited on the face of
`
`prior art references reviewed during the search. This process is known as citation searching. For
`
`example, as a search string hits list is reviewed, it is common for a skilled searcher to also review
`
`prior art references listed on the face of the reviewed prior art references in the hit list. A skilled
`
`searcher during the timeframe would have performed such citation searching. Non-patent
`
`literature (NPL) references cited on the face of prior art references would have been located by
`
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 316 Filed 03/11/21 Page 5 of 24 PageID #: 31283
`
`utilizing PAIR, ordering the File Wrapper from the USPTO, or by visiting the USPTO library and
`
`obtaining the physical File Wrapper, which includes copies of cited NPL references.
`
`14. A skilled searcher would have used multiple different techniques for identifying prior art
`
`references, including generating search strings using terms from the claim and specification
`
`language of the patent at issue. A skilled searcher during the timeframe would have generated and
`
`used multiple different search strings, and variations thereof, to identify relevant references, and
`
`would have run each of these search strings in prior art searching tools, such as Patbase. These
`
`search strings would have been generated in a variety of ways, including using terms from the ’843
`
`patent claims and synonyms of those terms, different logical search operators (e.g., AND, OR),
`
`and proximity operators to require combinations of terms together. Based on my experience and
`
`review of Claims 1, 8, 23, and 30 of the ’843 patent, it is my opinion that a skilled searcher during
`
`the timeframe would have generated at least the following search strings and used these search
`
`strings to located prior art references related to the subject matter of Claims 1, 8, 23, and 30:
`
`• SFT1=((word* w2 process*) and ((search* w8 database*) w25 address*)) and
`
`STAC2=((search* w8 database*) and updat*) This string incorporates terms that appear in
`
`the specification of the ’843 patent.
`
`• SFT=((word w5 process*) and database and (menu)) This string incorporates terms that
`
`appear in the specification of the ’843 patent.
`
`• SFT=(((search* w40 database) w40 address*) w40 (word w5 process*)) This
`
`string
`
`incorporates terms that appear in the specification of the ’843 patent.
`
`
`
`
`1 SFT is a Boolean command that searches for the keywords in the full-text in the same document
`2 STAC is a Boolean command that searches for the keywords in the title, abstract, or claims in the same document

`
`
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 316 Filed 03/11/21 Page 6 of 24 PageID #: 31284
`
`15.
`
`In addition to running each of the search strings identified above, a skilled searcher
`
`would have additionally combined these search strings with one or more classification codes in
`
`order to further narrow the field of search to relevant prior art references that satisfy the search
`
`string and that are labelled with the searched classification code. Example classification codes
`
`that are relevant to the ’843 patent are identified above. Based on my experience and review of
`
`the ’843 patent (including Claims 1, 8, 23, 30), it is my opinion that a skilled searcher in the
`
`timeframe would have performed some combined prior art searching by combining one or more
`
`of the classification codes identified above with the search strings identified above.
`
`16. I conducted an investigation in March 2021 to determine whether the prior art references
`
`below would have been identified by a skilled searcher in the timeframe using available prior art
`
`searching resources. As part of this investigation, I ran the search strings that a skilled searcher
`
`would have generated to identify relevant prior art references for Claims 1, 8, 23, 30 of the ’843
`
`patent through prior art searching tools available and widely used by prior art searchers in
`
`December 2014 (Patbase). Based on my experience, Patbase works in the materially same way as
`
`it did during the timeframe.
`
`17. In addition, I reviewed references cited on the face of the ‘843 patent, references cited in
`
`those sources, and references cited on the face of patents that the search strings returned. Based
`
`on my prior art searching experience and this investigation, it is my opinion that each of these prior
`
`art references (listed below) would have been readily identified by a skilled searcher conducting a
`
`diligent search in the timeframe using, at least, these search strings and the prior art searching tools
`
`(Patbase) and/or retrieving cited references. Details on each of these references and how I reached
`
`this conclusion for reach of the references is provided below:

`
`18. “The Selection Recognition Agent” article is cited on page 4 of the ’843 Patent. In my
`
`opinion a diligent search by a skilled searcher in the timeframe would have carefully searched all
`
`prior art references cited on the face of the ‘843 patent, which includes “The Selection Recognition
`
`Agent.” A skilled searcher would then have found and retrieved this reference from the USPTO,
`
`either by visiting the USPTO library for a physical copy of the File Wrapper, online ordering the
`
`File Wrapper from the USPTO, or by downloading from PAIR.

`in “Context-Awareness in Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing.” The article directly cites
`
`“CyberDesk: A Framework for Providing Self-Integrating Ubiquitous Software Services,”
`
`reinforcing my opinion that a diligent search by a skilled searcher would have returned that
`
`reference. (Ex. 10)

`
`x. Abowd, Gregory et al., “Context-Awareness in Wearable and Ubiquitous
`Computing,” Virtual Reality, Vol. 3 (1998): 200-211
`
`36. “Context-Awareness in Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing” is an article is an article
`
`available on http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fce/cyberdesk. It is my opinion that a skilled searcher in
`
`the timeframe would have consulted references in “Context-Aware Computing: The CyberDesk
`
`Project,” as discussed above. The article states, “For more information on the CyberDesk project,
`
`including . . . other publications, see http://www.cc.gatech.edu/fce/cyberdesk.” (Ex. 1). In my
`
`opinion a skilled searcher would have followed that link and would have found “Context-
`
`Awareness in Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing.”
`
`37. Once found, it is also my opinion that a skilled searcher would have consulted references
`
`in “Context-Awareness in Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing.” The article directly cites i)
`
`“CyberDesk: A Framework for Providing Self-Integrating Context-Aware Services,” ii)
`
`“CyberDesk: Automated Integration of Desktop and Network Services,” iii) Apple Data Detectors
`
`Webpage, and iv) “The Selection Recogntion Agent.” (Ex. 11). This also supports my opinion that
`
`a diligent search by a skilled searcher would have returned the other CyberDesk references, the
`
`Apple Data Detectors Webpages reference, and “The Selection Recognition Agent” reference.

`Data,” GVU Technical Review, GIT-GVU-97-09 (1997) (Master’s Thesis)
`

`
`39. Running the search string CPC=G06F* and PD<20141202 and SFT=(((search* w40
`
`database) w40 address*) w40 (word w5 process*)) through Patbase returned 41 results. The search
`
`string returned patents that included the terms “search” within 40 terms of “database,” within 40
`
`terms of “address,” within 40 terms of “word” within 5 terms of “process” in the full-text of the
`
`patents. The search string includes terms taken from the specification to the ’843 Patent and limits

`
`the result to relevant classifications. This search, which is materially the same search tool and prior
`
`art databases as during the timeframe, returned U.S. Patent No. 7,912,828 as among the search
`
`results. “Ubiquitous Computing: Extending Access to Mobile Data” is listed on the face of the
`
`’828 patent.
`
`40. In my opinion a diligent search by a skilled searcher in the timeframe would have carefully
`
`searched all prior art references cited on the face of the ’828 patent, which includes “Ubiquitous
`
`Computing: Extending Access to Mobile Data.” A skilled searcher would then have found and
`
`retrieved this reference from the USPTO, either by visiting the USPTO library for a physical copy
`
`of the File Wrapper, online ordering the File Wrapper from the USPTO, or by downloading from
`
`PAIR (Ex. 12).

`
`database*) w25 address*)) and STAC=((search* w8 database*) and updat*) through Patbase
`
`returned 37 results. The search string returned patents that included the terms “word” within 2
`
`terms of permutations of “process” and “search” within 8 terms of “database” within 25 terms of
`
`“address,” in the full-text of the patents, and “search” within 8 terms of “database,” and
`
`permutations of “update” in the title, abstract, or claims of the patents. The search string includes
`
`terms taken from the specification to the ’843 Patent and limits the result to relevant classifications.
`
`This search, which is materially the same search tool and prior art databases as during the
`
`timeframe, returned U.S. Patent No. 8,498,981 as among the search results. (Ex. 13.) “MessagePad
`
`2000 User’s Manual” is listed on the face of the ’981 patent. (Ex. 14).
