`
`Bloomberg et al. – Exhibit 1046
`
`

`

`Procedural Background
`
`• Petitioners challenged every claim of the ’357 Patent (Claims 1-4) based on
`Satow, TradeStation (as described by several references including S&C
`Review), Window on WallStreet, Trading Expert Pro (as described by
`several references including Opening Bell), Investor/RT, eSignal, and
`Stutman.
`• The Board instituted trial based on Claims 1-4 as (1) anticipated by Satow,
`(2) anticipated by S&C Review, (3) anticipated by Opening Bell, and (4)
`
`obvious over Stutman and Opening Bell.obvious over Stutman and Opening Bell.
`• Because Bloomberg established that it is more likely than not that claims 1-
`4 are unpatentable under four grounds, the Board held that Bloomberg’s
`remaining grounds were redundant and denied the petition as to those
`grounds.
`In its motion to amend, Markets-Alert states “Claims 1-4 are cancelled.” PN
`42 at 2.

`Petitioners’ Response to MA’s Case: MA’s Motion to
`Amend Should Be Denied
`ISSUE #1: New Claims 5-8 improperly enlarge the
`scope of the ’357 Patent claims.
`ISSUE #2: New Claims 6-8 are wholly untraceable to
`any challenged claim.
`ISSUE #3: New claims 5-8 improperly introduce new
`
`matter that is not supported by the ’357 patentmatter that is not supported by the ’357 patent
`specification.
`ISSUE #4: The motion lacks claim construction.
`ISSUE #5: Markets-Alert fails to demonstrate any
`patentable distinction over the prior art.

`
`This limitation has been wholly
`eliminated from new claims 5-8.
`While the original claims required
`applying watch data over at least

`
`Mr. Goldstein agrees there is a difference between providing
`notification to a device rather than to a user
`
`Q: So does this claim [5] require that the notification only go to the device or
`that it also make it all the way to the human in real-time?
`A: No. It only specifies that it’s sent – that it’s generated and sent to the
`device in real-time.
`Q: Okay. So the notification may go to the device in real-time, but the human
`
`user might not discover it until some time later; right?user might not discover it until some time later; right?
`A: That’s true.
`Q: And that would fall within the scope of Claim 5; right?
`A: Claim 5 simply says that the device – that the notification must be provided
`in real-time to the communication device.
`It doesn’t mention the user.

`network where if one computer becomes inoperable the system
`continues to operate without data being lost.

`Improper New Matter
`Claim 5: No support for applying watch data to “as real-time stock
`market data is received”
`
`• Claim 5 presents new subject matter because the ’357 Patent
`specification only mentions that watch data/formulas are applied
`to data at a specified interval, or periodically.
`– “The drone then analysis [sic] the stock market at a specified
`internal [sic, interval] . . .” Ex. 1001 at 3:49-50.
`
`– “Technical analysis indicators can be set to ‘repeat’ over a– “Technical analysis indicators can be set to ‘repeat’ over a
`certain period . . .” Ex. 1001 at 4:49-51

`Improper New Matter
`Claim 5: No support for “more than one technical analysis formula . . .
`defines a valid stock market event”
`
`• Claim 5 states that “more than one technical analysis formula . . . defines a valid
`stock market event.”
`• The ’357 Patent does not disclose watch data where more than one technical
`analysis formula defines a single event.
`• Markets-Alert cites to 2:47-58:
`The drone has two main purposes [sic] they are as follows:
`
`(1) To accept, process and return static stock market data which a user(1) To accept, process and return static stock market data which a user
`requested from the service.
`(2) To repetitively calculate users requested “watch data” (an event set by
`the user to trigger an alert which is sent to the users [sic] mobile or static
`device). The watch data can consist of: a simple, price/volume or price plus
`volume watch or a technical analysis request, e.g., trend line drawing,
`moving average alerts, as well as other documented technical analysis
`systems.
`• This merely identifies a few different but singular watch data examples.

`Improper New Matter
`
`Claim 5: No support for “valid stock market event”
`
`• The term “valid stock market event,” which Markets-Alert
`and its expert admit is new, does not appear anywhere in
`the ’357 Patent.
`• Markets-Alert argues that this term “combines and makes
`explicit the language in the Original Claims [claims 1-4] with
`
`respect to an event and a valid response. The claim term isrespect to an event and a valid response. The claim term is
`supported by the Original Claims.”
`• Markets-Alert writes: “The ’357 Patent currently contains
`originally issued Claims 1-4 (‘Original Claims’).”
`• Claims 1-4 were not part of the ’357 Patent’s original
`disclosure.

`Claim 6 lacks support
`
`• Claim 6 requires “updating a cache of stock market data,” but the
`’357 Patent does not recite a “cache” or “updating a cache.”
`• Claim 6 requires “applying the technical analysis formula . . . to
`generate a technical analysis indicator.” The ’357 Patent never
`discloses that a technical analysis indicator may be the output of
`
`a technical analysis formula.a technical analysis formula.
`– Rather, the specification teaches that a technical analysis
`indicator is a formula. Ex. 1001 at 3:49-50 (“The drone . . .
`applies the users [sic] chosen technical and analysis
`indicators formulas to the data.”
`– Mr. Goldstein states, “The words ‘indicator’ and ‘formula’ are
`often used interchangeably.” Ex. 1035 at 137:18-19.

`network of computers, to enable the user to provide an instruction for a
`stock market transaction from the notification.”

`Markets-Alert’s Motion to Exclude Should be
`Denied
`•
`“MA does not raise any issue on the admissibility of Dr. Kursh’s
`declaration.
`In fact, MA plainly admits that the purpose of its motion
`is to address credibility and the weight of the evidence – subjects
`which the Board clearly explained are outside the proper scope of a
`motion to exclude.” PN 62, p. 1.
`
`•
`
`“In contrast, issues related to credibility and the weight of the
`
`evidence should be raised in responses and replies. Further, aevidence should be raised in responses and replies. Further, a
`motion to exclude may not be used to challenge the sufficiency of
`the evidence to prove a particular fact, or to present arguments that
`should have been presented in responses or replies.” PN 56, p. 5.
