`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to the Amended Docket Control Order (Dkt. 73) entered in this case and Patent
`
`Local Rule 3-3, Defendants Emerson Electric Co., Emerson Process Management LLLP, Fisher-
`
`Rosemount Systems, Inc., Rosemount Inc., BP, p.l.c., BP America, Inc., and BP America
`
`Production Company (“Defendants”). BP, p.l.c provisionally makes these contentions to preserve
`
`its rights, notwithstanding and without waiving its rights to answer, tender any Rule 12 motion,
`
`or otherwise plead in response to the Amended Complaint served on April 4, 2016.
`
`In its Local Patent Rule 3-1 and 3-2 Disclosures (“Infringement Contentions”), served on
`
`Defendants on February 29, 2016, Plaintiff SIPCO, LLC asserted claims 1-4, 6, 8-11, 13-21, and
`
`25 of U.S. Patent No. 7,697,492 (“the ‘492 patent”); claims 1, 3-8, 11-14, 24-32, 34, 36-38, 42,
`
`43, 46-49, 51-57, and 59-64 of U.S. Patent No. 6,437,692 (“the ‘692 patent”); claims 1, 5, 6, 8-
`
`12, and 14 of U.S. Patent No. 7,468,661 (“the ‘661 patent”); claims 1-3, 10, 17, 18, and 37 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,914,893 (“the ‘893 patent”); claims 1, 2, and 4-8 of U.S. Patent No. 8,754,780
`
`(“the ‘780 patent”); claims 1, 7, 9, 16, and 17 of U.S. Patent No. 8,908,842 (“the ‘842 patent”);
`
`and claims 1, 13, 14, 16-19, and 31-35 of U.S. Patent No. 8,013,732 (“the ‘732 patent”)
`
`(collectively, “Asserted Petite Patents” and “Asserted Petite Claims”).
`
`In its Local Patent Rule 3-1 and 3-2 Disclosures (“Infringement Contentions”), served on
`
`Defendants on February 29, 2016, Plaintiff IPCO, LLC asserted claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, and
`
`14 of U.S. Patent No. 6,249,516 (“the ‘516 patent”); claims 1, 4, 10, and 12-14 of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,000,314 (“the ‘314 patent”); claims 2-4, 6-8, 10-12, 14-22, 31-36, 40, and 41 of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,233,471 (“the ‘471 patent”); and claims 1-5, 7-27, 33-42, 44, and 45 of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,625,496 (“the ‘496 patent”) (collectively, “Asserted Brownrigg Patents” and “Asserted
`
`Brownrigg Claims”). The Asserted Petite Patents and the Asserted Brownrigg Patents are,
`
`-1-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 6 of 350
`
`collectively, the “Asserted Patents.” The Asserted Petite Claims and the Asserted Brownrigg
`
`Claims are, collectively, the “Asserted Claims.”
`
`In accordance with Patent L.R. 3-3(a)-(d), Defendants hereby: (a) identify of each item of
`
`prior art that allegedly anticipates each asserted claim or renders it obvious; (b) state whether
`
`each item of prior art anticipates each asserted claim or renders it obvious; (c) submit charts
`
`identifying where specifically in each alleged item of prior art each element of each asserted
`
`claim is found; and (d) state any grounds of invalidity based on indefiniteness under 35 U.S.C. §
`
`112(b) or enablement or written description under 35 U.S.C. § 112(a) of any of the asserted
`
`claims. Although not required by the Patent Local Rules, Defendants also identify exemplary
`
`grounds of invalidity based on 35 U.S.C. § 101 subject matter ineligibility and double patenting.
`
`II.
`
`RESERVATIONS
`
`At this early stage in the case, Defendants’ investigation and analysis of prior art is not
`
`yet complete, and Defendants reserve the right to modify, amend, or supplement their invalidity
`
`contentions, identification of prior art, and accompanying document production as additional
`
`information becomes available during the course of this lawsuit. Accordingly, the contentions
`
`provided herein by Defendants are provisional and subject to revision as provided in the Local
`
`Rules, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and/or any Order of this Court. For example, these
`
`Joint Invalidity Contentions are based on Defendants’ current knowledge, understanding, and
`
`belief as to the facts and information available at this time. Defendants have not yet completed
`
`their investigation, collection of information, discovery, or analysis relating to this action, and
`
`additional facts and information may lead Defendants to supplement or amend these contentions.
`
`Defendants fully reserve the right to so amend these contentions. Moreover, Plaintiffs’
`
`Infringement Contentions are materially deficient, and thus, do not provide Defendants with
`
`sufficient notice of the bases for their infringement allegations or the alleged scope of the claims.
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 7 of 350
`
`The lack of complete infringement contentions have hindered Defendants’ ability to fully
`
`identify applicable prior art, and Defendants, therefore, reserve the right to supplement or amend
`
`these Joint Invalidity Contentions when Plaintiffs have produced infringement contentions that
`
`fully comply with Patent L.R. 3-1 and 3-2.
`
`Similarly, Defendants have had little or no discovery concerning the claimed priority
`
`dates for the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents. Plaintiffs have not provided evidence
`
`supporting their asserted priority dates. Thus, Defendants may not be collecting all relevant prior
`
`art.
`
`Emerson also reserves their right to supplement and/or amend these Joint Invalidity
`
`Contentions after the Court has construed disputed claim terms, in accordance with Local P.R. 3-
`
`6. Emerson’s contentions concerning the validity of the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents
`
`may change based upon the Court’s construction of the claims or upon positions that SIPCO may
`
`take concerning infringement or validity issues after such construction. The analysis provided in
`
`these Joint Invalidity Contentions in some instances uses SIPCO’s proposed (or implied) claim
`
`constructions which Emerson does not believe will be sustained by the Court. Moreover,
`
`SIPCO’s deficient Infringement Contentions have impeded Emerson’s ability to understand how
`
`SIPCO is construing the Asserted Claims and applying that construction to prior art.
`
`Nothing contained in these Invalidity Contentions or any accompanying exhibits or claim
`
`charts, should be understood or deemed to be an express or implied admission or contention with
`
`respect to the proper construction or scope of any terms in the Asserted Claims, nor should they
`
`be understood to adopt Defendants’ stated or implied claim construction or their proposed scope
`
`of the Asserted Claims to the extent discernible. Emerson provides the information below and in
`
`the attached charts and document production in order to comply with Patent L.R. 3-3 and 3-4.

`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 8 of 350
`
`The production of documents that have been identified in these Joint Invalidity Contentions shall
`
`not be deemed an admission that such documents are admissible or that Defendants have waived
`
`any objections regarding the admissibility of such documents.
`
`Defendants incorporate, in full, all prior art references cited in the Asserted Patents and
`
`any patents or applications to which the Asserted Patents claim priority, and the Asserted
`
`Patents’ respective prosecution histories. Defendants reserve the right to identify other art or to
`
`supplement the disclosure for the following reasons:
`
`i. Defendants’ positions on the invalidity of the Asserted Claims will depend in part on
`
`how those claims are construed by the Court. Because claim construction has not yet occurred,
`
`Defendants cannot take a final position on the bases for invalidity of the Asserted Claims
`
`because the Court may construe those claims to mean something different from what Defendants
`
`assumes them to mean for purposes of these invalidity contentions. As reflected in Plaintiffs’
`
`Infringement Contentions, to the extent they can be understood, Plaintiffs have adopted apparent
`
`claim constructions for certain claim terms that Defendants dispute but applies herein in order to
`
`identify the potentially relevant prior art known to Defendants. By applying any of Plaintiffs’
`
`apparent claim constructions herein, Defendants do not concede in any way that those
`
`constructions are correct, but rather assert the fundamental principle that whatever infringes a
`
`claim if later in time anticipates if earlier in time. Plaintiffs are estopped for the purposes of
`
`invalidity from denying that a product it accuses of infringement does not, if that product is prior
`
`art, invalidate all claims the product is asserted to infringe. At least under Plaintiffs’ apparent
`
`infringement theories, all of the elements underlying the alleged invention of the Asserted
`
`Claims were already known or obvious before the respective alleged priority date of each of the
`
`-4-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 9 of 350
`
`Asserted Patents as alleged in the Infringement Contentions. Defendants expressly reserve the
`
`right to oppose those constructions at the appropriate time specified in the Docket Control Order.
`
`ii. Defendants reserve the right to prove the invalidity of the Asserted Claims on bases
`
`other than those required to be disclosed in these disclosures pursuant to Patent Local Rule 3-3.
`
`iii. Defendants reserve the right to present additional items of prior art under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§§ 102(a), (b), (e), and/or (g), and/or § 103, located during the course of such discovery or
`
`further investigation, and to assert invalidity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(c), (d), or (f), to the extent
`
`that such discovery or investigation yields information forming the basis for such invalidity.
`
`Defendants have not completed its discovery from Plaintiff. Depositions of the named
`
`inventors, for instance, will likely reveal information that affects the disclosures and contentions
`
`herein. Defendants have not yet received discovery from third parties who may have information
`
`concerning additional prior art. Such discovery may also reveal information that affects the
`
`disclosures and contentions herein. In particular, for prior art patents and publications identified
`
`in these invalidity contentions, Defendants reserve the right to rely on the public use, offer for
`
`sale, sale, and/or actual products embodying the methods and systems described therein
`
`uncovered during discovery. Should Defendants hereafter discover additional prior art pertinent
`
`to the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents, and Defendants reserve their right to seek to
`
`amend and/or supplement these Joint Invalidity Contentions within a reasonable time after
`
`becoming aware of additional prior art.
`
`iv. Defendants reserve the right to serve additional or modified invalidity contentions if
`
`Plaintiff asserts or is found to be entitled to priority dates different from those upon which
`
`Plaintiff currently asserts. All patents disclosed in these contentions are U.S. patents unless
`
`-5-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 10 of 350
`
`otherwise noted. On information and belief, each listed publication, product, or system became
`
`prior art at least as early as the dates given.
`
`v. Pursuant to Patent L.R. 3-3, Defendants also identify specific portions of prior art
`
`references that disclose limitations of the Asserted Claims. The accompanying invalidity claim
`
`charts provide examples of prior art that discloses, either expressly or inherently, every limitation
`
`of certain claims and/or teachings, suggestions, and motivations through which a person of
`
`ordinary skill at the time of the alleged inventions would have considered the limitations obvious
`
`in view of the state of the art at the time, the differences between the claimed inventions and the
`
`state of the art, and the foreseeability from a technical perspective and/or marketing and/or
`
`natural and expected evolution of the art. Each and every portion of a reference that corresponds
`
`to a limitation in the Asserted Claims is not necessarily specified. In an effort to focus the issues,
`
`Defendants specify only exemplary portions of cited references. Persons of ordinary skill in the
`
`art generally read a prior art reference as a whole and in the context of other publications and
`
`literature and in light of the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art. To understand and
`
`interpret any specific statement or disclosure within a prior art reference, such persons would
`
`rely on other information within the reference, along with other publications and their scientific
`
`or engineering knowledge. Defendants consequently reserve the right to rely upon other
`
`unspecified portions of the prior art references and on other publications and expert testimony as
`
`to the knowledge of a person of ordinary skill to provide context, and as aids to understanding
`
`and interpreting the portions that are identified. Defendants also reserve the right to rely on other
`
`portions of the prior art references, other publications, and the testimony of experts to establish
`
`that a person of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to modify or combine certain
`
`of the cited references so as to render the claims obvious. Further, where Defendants cite to a
`
`-6-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 11 of 350
`
`particular figure in a reference, the citation should be understood to encompass the caption and
`
`description of the figure and any text relating to the figure. Conversely, where Defendants cite to
`
`particular text referring to a figure, the citation should be understood to include the figure as
`
`well. As discovery progresses and the scope and focus of the liability issues become more clear,
`
`Defendants may rely on uncited portions of the prior art. Given the volume of prior art and the
`
`number of relevant passages within each prior art reference, Defendants expressly reserves the
`
`right to rely upon additional portions of the cited prior art references.
`
`vi. Defendants further may rely on any Plaintiff’s or any inventor’s admissions
`
`concerning the scope of prior art relevant to the Asserted Patents; the patent prosecution history
`
`for the Asserted Patents; any deposition testimony of the named inventors on the Asserted
`
`Patents; and the papers filed and any evidence submitted by Plaintiffs in connection with this
`
`litigation. For example, Defendants reserve the right to assert that the Asserted Claims are
`
`invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102(f) in the event that Defendants obtains evidence that the named
`
`inventors did not invent (either alone or in conjunction with others) the subject matter claimed in
`
`the Asserted Patents. Should Defendants obtain such evidence, it will provide the name of the
`
`person(s) from whom and the circumstances under which the claimed invention or any part of it
`
`was derived.
`
`Defendants also hereby identifies, as prior art upon which it may rely to show the
`
`invalidity of the asserted claims, the prior art references disclosed by defendants in any other
`
`litigation involving the patents-in-suit or involving any other patent claiming priority to any
`
`application in the families of the Asserted Patents (“Other Plaintiff Litigations”). Defendants
`
`incorporate, in full, the invalidity contentions disclosed by defendants in the Other Plaintiff
`
`Litigations. Plaintiff has a duty to produce to Defendants all relevant documents from the Other
`
`-7-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-10 Filed 08/05/16 Page 12 of 350
`
`Plaintiff Litigations, including all inventor depositions, prior art, invalidity contentions, and
`
`expert reports on invalidity (among other relevant items) from the Other Plaintiff Litigations, but
`
`Plaintiff has not yet produced all such documents to Defendants. Accordingly, Defendants
`
`expressly reserve their right to supplement these contentions based on the information contained
`
`therein.
`
`Defendants further intend to rely on prior art, arguments, and other information regarding
`
`the Asserted Patents found in, inter alia: the Asserted Patents themselves, the prosecution
`
`histories of the Asserted Patents and related patents and applications, reexamination proceedings
`
`of the Asserted Patents and related patents, or Inter Partes Reviews of the Asserted Patents and
`
`related patents and/or patent applications; and the papers filed and any evidence submitted by
`
`Plaintiffs in connection with this litigation or other of its past, current or future litigations or
`
`administrative proceedings concerning or relating to one or more of the Asserted Patents and
`
`related patents and/or patent applications.
`
`vii. Defendants also reserves the right to further contend that one or more Asserted
`
`Claims are invalid because they are directed to ineligible subject matter and thus fail to comply
`
`with 35 U.S.C. § 101.
`
`viii. Defendants reserve the right to contend that one or more of the Asserted Patents is
`
`invalid for double patenting and/or for being assigned to two different entities while subject to a
`
`terminal disclaimer.
`
`ix. Defendants further reserve the right to modify or add additional contentions in the
`
`event that Plaintiff provides amended infringement contentions and to the extent the Court orders
`
`or allows Plaintiff to amend its infringement contentions.

`
`III.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF PRIOR ART PURSUANT TO PATENT L.R. 3-3(A)
`
`Subject to Defendants’ reservations, listed below is prior art that Defendants contend
`
`anticipates, renders obvious, or otherwise evidences invalidity of each Asserted Claim of the
`
`Asserted Patents. The following prior art is also illustrative of the knowledge of one of ordinary
`
`skill in the art at the alleged time of invention. In addition, Defendants further reserve the right
`
`to rely upon U.S. and foreign prosecution histories and prior art cited in the file histories of the
`
`Asserted Patents and related patents, applications, and any documents related to reexamination or
`
`Inter Partes Reviews of the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents, or related patents.
`
`A.
`
`Prior Art Patents
`
`Defendants hereby identify the following prior art patents that anticipate or render
`
`obvious the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(a), (b), and/or (e)
`
`and/or 35 U.S.C. § 103:
