`
`DEFENDANTS’ OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO CORRECT CLAIM 19
`OF THE ’634 PATENT
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 2 of 14 PageID #: 39147
`
`
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`This the second time in less than a month that Plaintiff has advanced a new and previously
`
`undisclosed claim construction position to avoid a ruling that Term 24, the preamble of Claim 19
`
`of the ‘634 patent, is indefinite. Just last month, Plaintiff argued for the first time that Term 24 is
`
`not even a limitation. The Court rejected that argument, specifically admonished Plaintiff’s
`
`national counsel for advancing it, and found Term 24 indefinite. D.I. 422; D.I. 423 at 14.
`
`Now, Plaintiff offers yet another construction for Term 24, this time under the guise of a
`
`Motion to Correct Claim 19 (D.I. 438)1 (“Motion”). The Motion is not supported by any expert
`
`testimony and contradicts Plaintiff’s prior five different positions on this term. The Motion should
`
`be rejected as untimely, unreasonable, and not meeting the very high standard for judicial
`
`correction of a patent claim.
`
`This latest position is one of many constructions Plaintiff has offered for Term 24
`
`including:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`the preamble should have its plain and ordinary meaning. See, e.g., D.I. 117, Ex. 1 at
`76; D.I. 186 at 94;
`
`“non-routing table based” modifies the “network” and means that the network does not
`“need” routing tables to “move messages between participants.” See, e.g., D.I. 366 at
`33;
`
`“non-routing table” modifies network and means that the network “does not use routing
`tables.” See, e.g., Exh. C (December 18, 2017 Markman transcript) at 8:3-9;
`
`“non-routing table based” modifies the entire preamble beginning with “computer
`readable medium.” See Exh. A (Nov. 21, 2017 Markman Transcript) at 91:1-92:25);
`
`the preamble is not actually limiting. D.I. 417 at 1-2; and
`
`
`1 All citations to docket items refer to C.A. No. 16-453 unless otherwise stated.
`
`
`
`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 3 of 14 PageID #: 39148
`
`
`
`6.
`
`via the present motion, the placement of “non-routing table based” in the claim is an
`“obvious” error (albeit one Plaintiff never even mentioned during the lengthy Markman
`process) and should modify the “method.” See D.I. 438 at 2.2
`
`The circumstances of this newest position are reminiscent of Plaintiff’s fifth position,
`
`where Plaintiff argued that the preamble was not limiting after agreeing on the record to a
`
`construction that specifically stated the preamble was limiting. The Court rejected Plaintiff’s
`
`“preamble is not limiting” position out of hand, finding it to be unreasonable as well as waived.
`
`See D.I. 423 (“Plaintiff waived the issue, and the preamble is limiting.”); D.I. 422 (questioning
`
`reasonableness of Plaintiff’s position). Plaintiff’s latest attempt to salvage this claim is similarly
`
`unreasonable and untimely, and therefore should be deemed waived.
`
`Even if not waived, Plaintiff’s position should be rejected. The standard for judicial
`
`correction is that the supposed error is so obvious that the proposed correction is beyond
`
`reasonable debate. Plaintiff now says that “non-routing table based” modifies the word “method.”
`
`Yet, up until now, Plaintiff’s principal position was that the phrase “non-routing table based”
`
`modified a different part of the claim altogether, the “network.” See, e.g., D.I. 366 at 33, 58. For
`
`example, at the December 18, 2017 hearing, Plaintiff forcefully argued that the claim was “clear”
`
`on that point. Exh. C (December 18, 2017 Markman transcript) at 67:19-68:4 (“And when you
`
`read it in the context of the claim itself and you read the entire phrase, it's clear that it's talking
`
`about a non-routing table-based network. It doesn't use routing tables as part of the overlay
`
`network. So I think it becomes very clear when you read it in context.”). Thus, even if the Court
`
`were to accept Plaintiff’s unsupported assertion that there was a drafting “error” for claim 19 and
`
`endeavor to rewrite the claim to fix the error, it is not at all “obvious” how claim 19 should be
`
`
`2 Plaintiff’s prior positions are illustrated in the accompanying chart. See Exh. B.

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 4 of 14 PageID #: 39149
`
`
`
`corrected. At the very least, it is open to reasonable debate whether “non-routing table based”
`
`should define the network (as Plaintiff argued during Markman) or define the method (as Plaintiff
`
`argues now).
`
`If Plaintiff reasonably thought that the claim included an obvious error that could be
`
`corrected by simply moving the phrase “non-routing table based” to precede “method,” it should
`
`have advanced that position earlier, and it also should not have argued and agreed that it modified a
`
`different part of the claim. Yet, Plaintiff proceeded with nearly 12 months of claim construction on
`
`this issue and never once argued that there was an error in claim drafting, let alone an error that
`
`was “obvious” to correct. This Court has already held that Term 24 is indefinite and that the Court
`
`“cannot rewrite the patent” to correct the indefiniteness. D.I. 423 at 14, 17. That should be the end
`
`of the inquiry.
`
`II.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`A. A District Court May Only Correct Obvious Errors and Only When There Is
`No Reasonable Debate About Claim Scope
`
` “district court may correct an obvious error in a patent claim… ‘only if (1) the correction
`
` A
`
`is not subject to reasonable debate based on consideration of the claim language and the
`
`specification and (2) the prosecution history does not suggest a different interpretation of the
`
`claims.’” CBT Flint Partners, LLC v. Return Path, Inc., 654 F.3d 1353, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 2011)
`
`(citing Novo Indus., L.P. v. Micro Molds Corp., 350 F.3d 1348, 1357 (Fed. Cir. 2003)). In CBT
`
`Flint Partners, the Federal Circuit found that the claim contained an obvious error, which was
`
`“confirmed by the fact that a person of skill in the art would find the claim to have the same
`
`scope and meaning under each of the three possible [corrections] that the court found
`
`reasonable.” Id. at 1358-59 (emphasis added). In Novo Indus., however, the Federal Circuit
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 5 of 14 PageID #: 39150
`
`
`
`reversed a correction by the district court which merely changed the word “a” to “and” because
`
`other possibilities for correction existed. Novo Indus., 350 F.3d at 1357.
`
`As a general matter, the Federal Circuit has made it clear that “[c]ourts do not rewrite
`
`claims; instead, [they] give effect to the terms chosen by the patentee.” K-2 Corp. v. Salomon
`
`S.A., 191 F.3d 1356 (Fed. Cir. 1999); see also Chef Am., Inc. v. Lamb-Weston, Inc., 358 F.3d
`
`1371, 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (“This court, however, repeatedly and consistently has recognized
`
`that courts may not redraft claims, whether to make them operable or to sustain their validity.”).
`
`Indeed, judicial correction of a patent has been called a “nearly impossible standard.” LG Elecs.,
`
`Inc. v. Quanta Computer Inc., 566 F. Supp.2d 910, 913 (W.D. Wis.2008); see also Smartflash
`
`LLC v. Apple Inc., 77 F. Supp. 3d 535, 561 (E.D. Texas 2014) (court refused to correct an alleged
`
`error “[b]ecause the purported error is more than a misspelling or a missing letter.”).
`
` Furthermore, even in the case of an obvious error, correction is precluded if the
`
`appropriate correction may be subject to reasonable debate. See, e.g., Fargo Electronics, Inc. v.
`
`Iris, Ltd., Inc., 287 Fed. Appx. 96, 99-101 (2008) (declining to correct claims where different
`
`reasonable ways to correct the error result in different claim scope.). For example, in Magnetar
`
`Technologies Corp. v. Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc., Judge Stark found an obvious error in the
`
`claim language, noting “’said wheels,’ ‘said rails,’ or ‘said track’ are plausible substitutions for
`
`the erroneous recital of ‘said tracks.’” 61 F. Supp. 3d 437, 442-43 (D. Del. 2014). But the Court
`
`refused to exercise its narrow discretion to redraft the claim because those different corrections
`
`left the “scope of the claim subject to reasonable debate.” Id.
`
`The standard for correction is a high bar because patent claims are not merely intended to
`
`grant rights to a patentee, but also to inform the public as to the boundaries of those rights. See,
`
`e.g., Exh. D (D. Del. Parallel Networks Opinion) at 7 (noting that “it is important to remember that
`
`- 4 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 6 of 14 PageID #: 39151
`
`
`
`the claims and specification of a patent serve an important public notice function, apprising others
`
`of what is available to them.”). The correction of anything other than straightforward and obvious
`
`errors would run afoul of this public notice function. Id.
`
`B. Plaintiff Has Not Even Shown That There Is An Error In Claim 19
`
`
`Plaintiff has provided no evidence, or even argument, that there is a drafting error
`
`contained within claim 19, let alone an “obvious” error. See D.I. 438 at 2. The mere fact that the
`
`Court found the claim, as written, to be nonsensical does not mean that there was an error in the
`
`drafting of the claim. All indications are that the applicant intentionally wrote the claim to recite
`
`a “non-routing table based computer readable medium.” The claims pending at the time when
`
`the “non-routing table based” limitation was added included claim 1, directed to a “non-routing
`
`table based computer network,” claim 13, directed to a “non-routing table based component,”
`
`claims 19, 28 and 36, directed to a “non-routing table based broadcast channel,” and claim 44
`
`(patent claim 19), directed to a “non-routing table based computer readable medium.” See, e.g.,
`
`B-4 (’634 File History) May 4, 2004 Amendment at 6-12. Thus, applicant seems to have quite
`
`deliberately placed “non-routing table based” as a modifier to various nouns in the preambles of
`
`the pending claims. Id. The fact that one of these choices has resulted in the invalidation of the
`
`claim as being indefinite does not evidence an error in the drafting.
`
`Plaintiff’s utter failure to bring this “obvious” error to the attention of the Court earlier in
`
`the case is even more telling. As described below, Plaintiff took a variety of positions regarding
`
`the meaning of Term 24, yet never once indicated that there was an error that should be
`
`corrected.

`
`
`
`C. Even If There Was an Error, There Is a Reasonable Debate About Claim
`Scope, Precluding Correction
`
`
`Even if the Court concludes that there was an error in the drafting of claim 19, that error
`
`cannot be corrected in this forum. Here, as in Magnetar, there are multiple ways the indefinite
`
`claim language could be corrected, each resulting in different claim scope entirely. Exh. E
`
`(Declaration of Dr. John P.J. Kelly) at 1-2. In fact, Plaintiff has made several contradictory
`
`arguments regarding the scope of this limitation, particularly with respect to what “non-routing
`
`table based” modifies.
`
`Plaintiff initially took the position that the preamble should be given its plain and ordinary
`
`meaning and that a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand that “the nature of the
`
`network is that it is non-routing table based.” D.I. 186 at 94; see also Exh. B. Plaintiff next put
`
`forward a construction of Term 24 that focused on the network, namely that the “instructions for
`
`controlling communications [are] within a network that does not need routing tables….” D.I. 366
`
`at 33 (emphasis added). Plaintiff similarly argued in its Markman briefing that “a POSITA would
`
`understand that … the nature of the network is that it is non-routing table based.” Id at 54
`
`(emphasis added). Plaintiff’s expert also argued that “non-routing table based” modified the
`
`network itself, even arguing that “non-routing table based networks are well known.”
`
`Medvidovic Decl. in support of Opening Br. ¶¶ 124, 126. No “obvious” error was mentioned
`
`during the Markman briefing, and no indication provided that “non-routing table based” defined
`
`the method, as opposed to the network.
`
`At the Phase II Markman hearing, Plaintiff again never mentioned the alleged “obvious”
`
`error, instead urging the Court to conclude that “non-routing table based” did, in fact, modify
`
`“computer readable medium” and, indirectly, the network itself:

`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 8 of 14 PageID #: 39153
`
`
`
`The second, just from a technical point that I wanted to make is, your Honor
`pointed to the now non-routing table based computer media. And I absolutely
`agree that that is a modifier to the computer-readable medium limitation.
`…
`And in the briefing that we have coming up, we do specify that the non-routing
`table based does modify the computer-readable medium, because it controls what
`type of network that is.
`…
`You're not going to have a carrier wave that is a non-routing table based. And it
`just doesn't make any sense. From just addressing that point, I think your Honor
`hit the nail on the head saying that that is also a modifier for the computer-
`readable medium.
`…
`THE COURT: -- but a non-routing table based, that certainly seems like it's
`modifying computer-readable medium, not the containing clause.
`
`MR. HANNAH: Correct. It's modifying the computer-readable medium. And then
`that specifies what type of network that is, if you follow the clause. But that's what
`this claim is claiming. It's claiming a non-routing table based computer-readable
`medium and what that does.
`
`See Exh. A (Nov. 21, 2017 Markman Transcript) at 91:1-92:25 (emphasis added). Thus, during
`
`the lengthy Markman process, Plaintiff argued forcefully that “non-routing table based” modifies
`
`“computer readable medium” and that the Court should interpret that phrase to be an indication
`
`of “what type of network that is.” Id. (emphasis added).
`
`Then, at the December 2017 Markman Hearing, Plaintiff accepted Defendants’ proposed
`
`construction, namely: that the preamble means “A computer-readable medium containing
`
`instructions that control communications of a participant of a broadcast channel within a network
`
`that does not use routing table(s).” Exh. C (Dec. 18, 2017 Markman transcript) at 8:3-9. Then, in
`
`early January 2018, Plaintiff advanced yet another construction: that the preamble was not
`
`limiting at all. D.I. 417 at 1-2.
`
`Having failed to convince the Court at Markman that the claim is definite or, after
`
`Markman, that the preamble is not limiting, Plaintiff now pivots to an interpretation of the claim
`
`language that “non-routing table based” was really an obvious error all along, and clearly should
`
`- 7 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 9 of 14 PageID #: 39154
`
`
`
`modify “method.” D.I. 438 at 2. But the various possible interpretations of this claim produce
`
`markedly different claim scope and meaning, precluding correction by the Court. See Fargo
`
`Electronics, Inc., 287 Fed.Appx. at 99-101.
`
`First, the Court agreed with one of Plaintiff’s earlier positions that “non-routing table
`
`based” modified “computer readable medium,” which resulted in the ruling of indefiniteness. D.I.
`
`423 at 14. If Plaintiff thought that the modification of “computer readable medium” was an
`
`“obvious” error, it should have said so at the Markman hearing, instead of urging the Court to find
`
`that “non-routing table based” modified the entire “computer readable medium” limitation. Exh. A
`
`at 91:1-92:25. The fact that Plaintiff had the epiphany that “non-routing table based” should
`
`“obviously” be corrected to modify “method” only after it lost at Markman and its claim was found
`
`invalid should, by itself, establish that the correction to modify “method” is anything other
`
`than “obvious.”
`
`Second, even assuming that there is some error in the claim and that “non-routing table
`
`based” should be moved such that it does not modify “computer readable medium,” there is at least
`
`a “reasonable debate” about whether “non-routing table based” should modify “network” or
`
`“method,” leaving the scope of the claim in question. Magnetar Technologies Corp., 61
`
`F.Supp.3d at 442-43. If “non-routing table based” modifies “network,” i.e., if it describes “what
`
`type of network that is” as Plaintiff argued at Markman (Exh. A at 91:1-92:25), then the claim
`
`would be limited to networks that do not employ routing tables. Exh. E at 1-2.
`
`If the claim is rewritten such that “non-routing table based” modifies “method” as Plaintiff
`
`now urges, however, then the claim would be more broadly applicable to networks that include
`
`routing tables, as long as the method itself does not employ such routing tables. Exh. E at 1-2. In
`
`other words, there is a substantial difference in scope between the two possible corrections to the
`
`- 8 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 10 of 14 PageID #: 39155
`
`
`
`claim. It is clearly a broader scope if “non-routing table based” merely modifies a method used
`
`within the network as opposed to the entire network. Id. And Plaintiff cannot credibly argue there
`
`is not a reasonable debate about whether “non-routing table based” could be interpreted to modify
`
`network as opposed to method, after having repeatedly argued for this very interpretation.3
`
`Plaintiff argues that Term 24 is “similar” to Term 25, which addresses the preamble of
`
`claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 6,910,069, which was not found indefinite. D.I. 438 at 3. However,
`
`there is no debate about what “non-routing table based” modifies in Term 25—the plain language
`
`of that claim is directed to a “non-routing table based, non-switch based method.” ’069 Patent at
`
`cl. 1. Furthermore, an error that needs to be resolved by looking to allegedly similar claims in an
`
`entirely different patent would be one that “does not fall within the ambit of the district court’s
`
`authority, for the nature of the error is not apparent from the face of the patent.” Novo Indus., 350
`
`F.3d at 1357. Finally, there is no reason to assume that these different claims, from different
`
`patents, should be interpreted to have the same scope. See, e.g., Smartflash LLC v. Apple Inc., 77
`
`F.Supp.3d 535, 561 (2014) (refusing to correct an indefinite claim under the Novo test by adopting
`
`language from another claim because the intent may be for some claims to have narrower scope
`
`than others and as such, the Court cannot know what correction is appropriate).
`
`Plaintiff’s arguments about the file history are also unavailing. The District Court can
`
`rely on the file history in determining how to correct an error, but the “nature of the error” must
`
`
`3 For example, Plaintiff argued that “Term 24 is definite in reciting a ‘non-routing table based
`computer-readable medium,’ and a POSA would understand that, when this claim is read as a
`whole and in the context of the specifications, the term makes clear that the computer-readable
`medium contains “instructions for controlling communications within a network,” and that the
`nature of the network is that it is non-routing table based. … Similarly, a POSA would
`understand Term 25 to require a network that is not based on routing tables or switch-based
`methods. See D.I. 366 (Phase 3 Joint Br.) at 34-35 (citing Medvidović Decl., ¶¶ 23-25)
`(emphasis added and internal citations omitted).
`

`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-00453-RGA Document 472 Filed 02/16/18 Page 11 of 14 PageID #: 39156
`
`
`
`be obvious “from the face of the patent.” Novo Indus., 350 F.3d at 1357 (“The present case does
`
`not fall within the ambit of the district court’s authority, for the nature of the error is not apparent
`
`from the face of the patent.”). As previously discussed, the “error” here is not apparent from the
`
`face of the patent.
`
`Furthermore, even if considered, Plaintiff’s file history argument undercuts its position
`
`by arguing that the “prosecution history of the ’634 Patent is not to the contrary, and gives no
`
`indication that ‘non-routing table based’ was intended to modify computer readable medium, as
`
`opposed to modifying the nature of the subject network.” D.I. 438 at 3 (emphasis added). As
`
`noted, there is a substantial difference in claim scope if “non-routing table based” modifies the
`
`“network” as opposed to the “method” implemented on the network. Also, the portion of the file
`
`history relied upon by Plaintiff falls far short of resolving any uncertainty about the scope of
`
`claim 19. The full quote from the page cited by Plaintiff is: “In other words, claims 1, 13, 19, 28,
`
`36, and 44 has [sic] been amended to recite, among other limitations, a ‘non-routing table based’
`
`method for routing information.” B-4 (’634 File History) May 4, 2004 Amendment at 13. The
`
`various claims being referred to by applicant include claim 1, directed to a “non-routing table
`
`based computer network,” claim 13, directed to a “non-routing table based component,” claims
`
`19, 28 and 36, directed to a “non-routing table based broadcast channel,” and claim 44 (patent
`
`claim 19), directed to a “non-routing table based computer readable medium.” Id at 6-12. These
`
`claims are clearly different in important respects, and applicant’s general statement that, “among
`
`other limitations,” there is a non-routing table based method included in these claims, cannot
`
`reasonably be viewed as a definitive statement regarding the preamble of one of these claims.
`
`Thus, this single sentence from the file history does nothing to resolve the issue regarding the
`
`scope of claim 19.

`
`
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`Plaintiff’s shifting positions on the meaning of Term 24 make it clear that there is no
`
`“obvious” error that can be properly corrected by the Court. Further, even if there was an error that
`
`warranted correction, there is reasonable debate as to how claim 19 should be amended, with
`
`different scope depending on what “non-routing table based” modifies, i.e., “network” or
`
`“method.” In such a situation, it is not appropriate to redraft the claim in the district court. See
`
`Novo Indus., L.P. at 1357. Plaintiff’s motion to correct the preamble of Claim 19 of the ’634
`
`Patent should be denied.
