`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to Patent L.R. 4.3 of the United States District Court for the
`
`Northern District of Georgia and the Court’s Scheduling Order (Dkt. 25),
`
`Declaratory Judgement Plaintiffs Emerson Electric Co., Fisher-Rosemount
`
`Systems, Inc. and Rosemount Inc. (collectively “Emerson” or “Plaintiffs”) submit
`
`the following Joint Invalidity Contentions. In their infringement contentions,
`
`Defendants SIPCO LLC and IP Co., LLC (collectively, “SIPCO” or “Defendants”)
`
`assert that Emerson infringes: (i) claims 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 27, 28, 29, 33, 34, 35,
`
`44, 46, 47, 56, 57, and 58 of U.S. Patent No. 7,103,511 (“the ‘511 Patent”); and (ii)
`
`claims 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 of U.S. Patent No. 6,044,062 (“the
`
`‘062 Patent”), which are collectively referred to as “the Asserted Claims” of the
`
`“Asserted Patents.” In accordance with Patent L.R. 4.3(a)(1)–(4), Plaintiffs
`
`hereby: (a) identify each item of prior art that allegedly anticipates each Asserted
`
`Claim or renders it obvious; (b) specify whether each such 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 limitation of each asserted
`
`claim is found; and (d) identify any grounds of invalidity based on 35 U.S.C. § 112
`
`of any of the Asserted Claims. Plaintiffs also identify any grounds of invalidity
`
`based on 35 U.S.C. § 101.

`
`II. RESERVATIONS
`
`The contentions provided herein by Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs’ current knowledge, understanding, and belief as to the facts
`
`and information available at this time. Plaintiffs have not yet completed their
`
`investigation, collection of information, discovery, or analysis relating to this
`
`action, and additional facts and information may lead Plaintiffs to supplement or
`
`amend these contentions. Plaintiffs fully reserve the right to so amend these
`
`contentions.
`
`Moreover, Defendants’ Infringement Contentions are materially deficient,
`
`and thus, do not provide Plaintiffs with sufficient notice of the bases for their
`
`infringement allegations or the alleged scope of the claims. The lack of complete
`
`infringement contentions have hindered Plaintiffs’ ability to fully identify
`
`applicable prior art, and Plaintiffs, therefore, reserve the right to supplement or
`
`amend these Joint Invalidity Contentions when Defendants have produced
`
`infringement contentions that fully comply with Patent L.R. 4.1.
`
`Plaintiffs also have not had the opportunity to take the depositions of the
`
`named inventors of the Asserted Patents and/or other persons having potentially
`
`relevant information. Plaintiffs are in the process of investigating prior art from
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-5 Filed 08/05/16 Page 8 of 850
`
`third parties believed to have knowledge or information relating to invalidity or
`
`prior art. It is likely that Plaintiffs will hereafter discover additional prior art
`
`pertinent to the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents, and Plaintiffs 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.
`
`Similarly, Plaintiffs have had little or no discovery concerning the claimed
`
`priority dates for the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents. Defendants have
`
`not provided evidence supporting their asserted priority dates. Thus, Plaintiffs 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. 4.5(c). 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.
`
`-3-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-5 Filed 08/05/16 Page 9 of 850
`
`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. 4.3. 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 Plaintiffs have waived any objections regarding the
`
`admissibility of such documents.
`
`Pursuant to Patent L.R. 4.3, Plaintiffs also identify specific portions of prior
`
`art references that disclose limitations of the Asserted Claims. 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, Plaintiffs 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
`
`-4-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-5 Filed 08/05/16 Page 10 of 850
`
`reference, along with other publications and their scientific or engineering
`
`knowledge. Plaintiffs 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. Plaintiffs 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 Plaintiffs
`
`identify a particular figure in a prior art reference, the identification should be
`
`understood to encompass the caption and description of the figure and any text
`
`relating to the figure in addition to the figure itself. Similarly, where a specified
`
`portion of text refers to a figure, the specified portion should be understood to
`
`include the corresponding figure as well.
`
`Plaintiffs 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 Defendants
`
`-5-
`
`

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-5 Filed 08/05/16 Page 11 of 850
`
`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.
`
`III.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF PRIOR ART PURSUANT TO PATENT L.R.
`4.3(A)(1)
`
`Subject to Plaintiffs’ reservations, listed below is prior art that Plaintiffs
`
`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, Plaintiffs 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
`
`Plaintiffs hereby identify the following prior art patents that anticipate or
`
`render obvious the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents under 35 U.S.C. §§

`
`The following products and systems, which were conceived and reduced to
`
`practice, ready for patenting, offered for sale and/or publicly used or known, are
`
`prior art and invalidate the Asserted Claims, alone or in combination with other
`
`prior art. Plaintiffs’ investigation regarding some of these and other prior art
`
`products and systems is ongoing. However, Plaintiffs may rely on the testimony of
`
`the designers, engineers, users, or people knowledgeable about these products and
`
`systems to illustrate the operation of a product or system, as well as additional
`
`documents and publications.
`
`For example, the PRNET system designed and developed jointly by the
`
`Advanced Research Projects Agency (“ARPA”) of the U.S. Department of
`
`Defense, Rockwell International, Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc., SRI
`
`International, and others in circa 1978 constitutes prior art under § 102(b). This
`
`system is disclosed at least in part in Advances in Packet Radio Technology, Kahn,
`
`Robert, Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 66, No. 11 (Nov. 1978) (“Kahn”), and in
`
`other articles published in the mid to late 1970s. Kahn and other publications
`
`describe how the PRNET system was publicly used in the San Francisco Bay area,
`
`the Boston area, and it communicated across the ARPANET to locations such as
`
`Dallas, TX, the Los Angeles area, and other parts of the U.S. The charts at
`
`Exhibits A and O show how the circa 1978 system discloses each of the claim
`
`elements based on the information currently available to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs

`
`expect to develop additional information during discovery, and will supplement
`
`these contentions as may be necessary.
`
`The PRNET circa 1987 was a system designed and developed jointly by the
`
`Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”) of the U.S. Department
`
`of Defense, Rockwell International, Bolt Beranek and Newman, Inc., SRI
`
`International, Hazeltine Corporation, and perhaps others, and was publicly used up
`
`to at least 1987. The circa 1987 version of the PRNET was disclosed at least in
`
`part in The DARPA Packet Radio Network Protocols, Jubin, John, Proceedings of
`
`the IEEE, Vol. 75, No. 1, Jan. 1987 (“Jubin”), and in other articles published in the
`
`late 1980s. Jubin states that the PRNET had been in “daily use” for nearly 10
`
`years at that time, and that the PRNET was coupled to the ARPANET, which later
`
`became the Internet. The charts at Exhibits B, P and Q show how the circa 1987
`
`system discloses each of the claim elements based on the information currently
`
`available to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs expect to develop additional information during
`
`discovery, and will supplement these contentions as may be necessary.
`
`The Network 3000 system was developed, used and sold in the U.S. by
`
`Bristol Babcock Inc. and its customers in the early 1990s. The Network 3000
`
`systems were being offered for sale, sold, publicly known and publicly used in the
`
`U.S. no later than 1995. As such, the systems known and used in the U.S.
`
`constitute prior art under § 102(b). As a non-limiting example of such Network

`

`Case 1:16-cv-02690-AT Document 121-5 Filed 08/05/16 Page 24 of 850
`
`3000 systems, Bristol Babcock made an offer for sale, and sold Network 3000
`
`system to Metropolitan Dade County, Florida’s Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
`
`Department. Based on the facts available to date, a formal proposal was made in
`
`December 1994 and the sale, public use, and public knowledge occurred in 1995.
`
`Bristol Babcock made other such offers for sale and sales in the U.S. of the
`
`Network 3000 system for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (“SCADA”)
`
`System applications. The charts at Exhibits K and AP show how the Network
`
`3000 system discloses each of the claim elements based on the information
`
`currently available to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs expect to develop additional information
`
`during discovery, and will supplement these contentions as may be necessary.
`
`The work of AES Corp., including that of Michael J. Sherman and Timothy
`
`S. Tait, relating to wireless communications networks and methods is prior art to
`
`the ‘062 patent. As reflected in documents cited in the prosecution history of the
`
`reexamination of the ‘062 patent, AES Corp. offered a security system marketed as
`
`the IntelliNet System, which Emerson believes resulted in the Sherman ‘236
`
`patent. Exhibit AF shows the correspondence between the work of AES Corp. and
`
`the claimed elements.
`
`The work of David B. Johnson and/or David A. Maltz relating to dynamic
`
`source routing techniques is prior art to the ‘062 patent. Emerson contends that the
`
`work of Johnson and Maltz was performed in the United States prior to February

`
`prior to February 1996, and will seek to discover dates for Johnson and/or Maltz’s
