`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`I am currently the President of Entropy Management Solutions
`
`3.
`
`(“EMS”), a position I have held since I founded the company in 1999. In this
`
`capacity I perform consulting services related to technology and business
`
`development, content management, distribution and merchandizing, systems
`
`engineering and product design in the areas of industrial and consumer broadband
`
`and multimedia technologies and associated commercial systems.
`
`4.
`
`I have forty years of experience working with high technology systems
`
`related to military, commercial, and consumer communication systems and networks.
`
`I have held various design, leadership and executive positions in, for example,
`
`engineering, operations, sales and marketing, and product management at leading
`
`companies in those fields, such as TV/COM International, Inc. (TV/COM) and Oak
`
`Communications, Inc. Over many years I have published and/or presented a number
`
`of articles and papers related to content/information creation,
`
`transmission/distribution and reception/consumption in various media sectors,
`
`including cable, satellite, broadcast/wireless, Internet and digital cinema. Attached as
`
`part of Appendix A is a list of my publications.
`
`5.
`
`I specialize in the areas of digital communications technologies, systems
`
`and networks, including infrastructures, signal processing, network management and
`
`command and control, and information security as used for content management,
`
`merchandizing and delivery. My background includes much experience with
`
`interactive and client-server technologies, such as those used in broadband and
`
`
`
`
`2
`

`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`Internet networks. Network management and command and control refers to the
`
`technical oversight and management of communication systems and equipment
`
`within a distribution system to direct both the transmission equipment (e.g., network
`
`infrastructures, servers, hubs, nodes, head ends and uplinks etc.) and receiving
`
`equipment (e.g., personal computer, television, set top box, handset/mobile device or
`
`other consumer appliance) as to communications, applications and set-up and
`
`operation in order to perform required features and functions.
`
`6.
`
`As a Vice President at Oak Communications (1980s) and Chief
`
`Technology Officer at TV/COM (1990s), I was involved in the development of
`
`terrestrial broadcast, satellite uplink and cable head end industrial equipment for
`
`television transmissions, as well as consumer appliance equipment such as STBs and
`
`other home based or home networked devices. All of these architectures included
`
`computer control systems for network and associated network device command and
`
`control, and for management of content distribution and consumer appliance
`
`functions.
`
`7.
`
`I was involved from the start with the development and evolution of
`
`modern consumer digital audio and video communications systems and technologies.
`
`In 1991, my employer, TV/COM, and I began to participate in the International
`
`Organization for Standardization (ISO) MPEG-2 digital television standards
`
`initiatives, and, in the following year, in both the both the European Digital Video
`
`Broadcast (DVB) and U.S. Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) forums
`
`
`
`
`3
`
`Page 00004
`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`(which were based upon MPEG-2). I was an active participant and contributor to the
`
`first two standard-setting bodies, and was a voting member of the ATSC. As Chief
`
`Technology Officer of TV/COM, I developed a business strategy based on
`
`supporting open international standards for digital television (DTV). In the mid
`
`1990s, as the technologies and standards in support of DTV moved towards
`
`implementation, the dawn of the Internet age arrived. This had a dramatic impact on
`
`the way broadband systems engineers like me began to plan for the future. This is
`
`because the concept of convergence—the melding of traditional broadband
`
`communications systems and equipment, computers and computer networks, and the
`
`telecommunications worlds—was changing the communications infrastructure and
`
`technology landscape. When television distribution went all-digital, the information
`
`of television became simply “data”— and it became possible for the technologies of
`
`digital television, computers and computer networks and the telephony industry
`
`(which was in the midst of its transition to digital infrastructure that began in the:
`
`1970s) to coalesce. Support for on-line and Internet services demanded a high
`
`performance two-way data transmission capability, and so broadband network
`
`providers began to upgrade their distribution infrastructures accordingly.
`
`8.
`
`In conjunction with this convergence, as TV/COM’s Chief Technology
`
`Officer I directed the expansion of our network products into broadband data
`
`communications generally, from an initial focus on digital television. Networks
`
`became more advanced in order to support real-time interaction between consumers
`
`
`
`
`4
`

`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`and information sources within the network. Interactive and on-line applications led
`
`to rapid adoption of client-server information access approaches (typical of the
`
`computer industry) in the products and technologies I worked with for content
`
`delivery and network command and control functions. Starting in the early 1990s the
`
`ubiquitous set top box began to evolve from a minimalist appliance towards its
`
`current status as a communications hub of the consumer’s media room. In this same
`
`time period, the PC had also become a ubiquitous consumer appliance, and with the
`
`Internet age came much innovation in electronic information distribution and
`
`electronic merchandizing – that is, technology related to complementing physical
`
`information media and brick and mortar institutions with all-electronic digital
`
`alternatives. This was an explosive period of so called digital rights management
`
`(“DRM”), which I will discuss in more detail below. I and TV/COM were part of
`
`this evolution until TV/COM was purchased in 1999.
`
`9.
`
`In my consulting work I have continued to work with technologies and
`
`network infrastructures for content distribution and management. My current work
`
`involves both traditional and newly developing architectures and distribution
`
`channels. As an example of the latter, I am the chief security systems architect on
`
`behalf of the six major Hollywood studios for their “Digital Cinema Initiatives” (DCI)
`
`consortium.1 DCI develops and evolves the specifications for transitioning first run

`theatrical movie releases from film to digital for distribution and exhibition display. I
`
`am responsible for all elements of command and control and digital rights
`
`management (DRM) for digital cinema system design and implementation. I also
`
`represent DCI at the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE),
`
`which is developing the set of internationally recognized standards for global adoption
`
`of digital cinema. The migration to all-digital distribution impacts other content
`
`distribution channels such as early window release for hospitality, airplane and
`
`cable/satellite video-on-demand (VOD), as well as newer so called “over-the-top”
`
`distribution channels based on Internet distribution. I have also been a strategy and
`
`technology consultant to content management and distribution entities in those areas.
`
`10. The technologies of the ’458 patent and its family relate generally to
`
`apparatus, systems and methods to download content over a network from a source
`
`location to a data carrier storage device via an intermediary device called a data access
`
`terminal. The terminal serves the role of qualifying the downloading to confirmation
`
`of a payment process, after which content on the data carrier can be consumed by a
`
`user via a rendering device. This involves methods and technologies to collect (select
`
`or source), distribute and deliver content to consumers, who interact with supplied
`
`information and supporting network infrastructure in real time. My experience with
`
`interactive broadband systems and technologies stretches from the late 1970s until
`
`today, inclusive of similar network architectures, systems and equipment, and
`
`associated consumer appliances.

`11. My consulting practice today includes a balance of technology and
`
`systems engineering services and assistance to the legal community as a technology
`
`consultant and/or expert witness. I have been accepted to provide, and have
`
`provided expert testimony in the areas of multimedia technologies and associated
`
`networks as used for content management and delivery on many occasions.
`
`12.
`
`I have a Bachelors degree and a Master’s degree in Electrical
`
`Engineering, conferred by the University of Arizona in 1974 and San Diego State
`
`University in 1979, respectively. I also completed the Executive Program for
`
`Scientists and Engineers at the University of California at San Diego in 1984. I am a
`
`named inventor on two patents, U.S. Patent No. 4,531,020, “Multi-layer Encryption
`
`System for the Broadcast of Encrypted Information,” and U.S. Patent No. 5,113,440,
`
`“Universal Decoder.”
`
`13. A listing of testimony that I have provided in the last five years is
`
`attached hereto as Appendix B. I am being compensated for my time spent in
`
`connection with this case at a flat rate of $325 per hour (plus expenses). I am being
`
`paid regardless of the facts I know or discover and/or the conclusions or opinions I
`
`reach. I have no personal interest or financial stake in the outcome of this case.
`

`
`In preparing my opinions I have considered the materials itemized in
`
`Appendix C.

`II. THE ’458 PATENT
`15. The ’458 patent, entitled “Data Storage and Access Systems,” issued on
`
`October 11, 2011, to assignee Smartflash Technologies Limited and named inventors
`
`Hermen-ard Hulst and Patrick Racz. The ’458 patent purports to cover “[d]ata
`
`storage and access systems [that] enable downloading and paying for data such as
`
`audio and video data, text, software, games and other types of data.” See, e.g., Ex.
`
`1001, the ’458 patent, at Abstract. The alleged invention applies classical client-server
`
`models in a multi-stage architecture that revolves around appliances and methods for
`
`loading data into a memory storage device generally referred to as a data carrier. The
`
`user can then access the data subject to certain conditions.
`
`16.
`
`I have analyzed claims 1, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of the ’458 patent and
`
`reviewed the File History of the ’458 patent (Ex. 1004).
`
`17. The ’458 patent issued from application number 12/943,847, which was
`
`filed on November 10, 2010. This application issued from a chain of applications
`
`claiming priority to United Kingdom application no. 9925227, filed October 25, 1999.
`
`18. The Examiner considering the application leading to the ’458 patent
`
`issued a first non-final office action on January 13, 2011. The Examiner rejected
`
`claims 1, 2, 5, 7-8, 14-16, and 24-25 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by
`
`U.S. Patent 4,697,073 (“the Hara patent”). (Ex. 1004, 1/13/2011 OA, at 2). Claims
`
`17-23 were allowed, and claims 3-4, 6, and 9-13 were deemed allowable and objected
`
`to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim. (Ex. 1004, 1/13/2011 OA, at 3).
`
`
`
`
`8
`
`Page 00009
`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`The Examiner remarked that the prior art did not disclose “a data access device
`
`comprising: a user interface, a data carrier interface, a program store, a processor, a
`
`code having the functions and characteristics as recited in claim 17” or “a portable
`
`data carrier as recited in claim 1 further including the limitations of claims 3-4, 6 and
`
`9-13.” (Ex. 1004, 1/13/2011 OA, at 3).
`
`19. Applicants filed a reply to the non-office action on February 10, 2011.
`
`Applicants cancelled claims 1, 2, 5, 7-8, 14-16, and 24-25; rewrote claims 3, 6, and 9-
`
`13 in independent form; and added new claims 26-27. (Ex. 1004, 2/10/2011 Amend.,
`
`at 7).
`
`20. The Examiner issued a second non-final office action on April 29, 2011.
`
`The Examiner rejected application claims 11-13 and 26 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as
`
`being anticipated by U.S. Patent 6,747,930 (“the Weldon patent”), and rejected
`
`application claim 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as unpatentable over the Weldon patent.
`
`(Ex. 1004, 4/29/2011 OA, at 3-4). Application claims 3-4, 6, 9-10, and 17-23 were
`
`allowed for the same reasons as given in the first non-final office action.
`
`21. On July 7, 2011, Applicants filed a reply to the second non-office action,
`
`cancelling application claims 11-13 and 26-27 to expedite issuance of the allowed
`
`claims. (Ex. 1004, 7/7/2011 Amend., at 6).
`
`22. On July 28, 2011, Applicants filed a Petition to Change Order of Names
`
`of Joint Inventors in the Heading of the Patent Application under 37 CFR 1.182. The
`
`
`
`
`9
`
`Page 00010
`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`order of the inventors was changed to list Patrick S. Racz first, followed by Hermen-
`
`ard Hulst. (Ex. 1004, 7/28/2011 Petition, at 1-2).
`
`23. The Examiner issued a Notice of Allowance on August 9, 2011. Claims
`
`3-4, 6, 9-10, and 17-23 were allowed for the same reasons as given in the first non-
`
`final office action. (Ex. 1004, 8/9/2011 Notice, at 2).
`
`III. ONE OF ORDINARY SKILL
`I understand that the factors considered in determining the ordinary
`
`24.
`
`level of skill in the art include the level of education and experience of persons
`
`working in the field; the types of problems encountered in the field; and the
`
`sophistication of the technology.
`
`25.
`
`In my opinion, a person of ordinary skill in the art relating to the
`
`technology of the asserted patents at the time at which the patents were filed —the
`
`field of “data storage and access systems,” including the use of a “portable data carrier
`
`for storing and paying for data and to computer systems for providing access to data
`
`to be stored” (see, e.g., Ex. 1001 (’458 patent) at col. 1, lns. 20-23)—would have had at
`
`least a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering, computer science or a
`
`telecommunications related field, and at least three years of industry experience that
`
`included client-server data/information distribution and management architectures.
`
`26. As I described in the discussion of my background beginning at
`
`paragraph 3 above, I have had decades of experience with computer based content/
`
`
`
`
`10
`
`Page 00011
`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`information distribution networks, which included mixtures of consumer and
`
`industrial equipment. As of October 25, 1999, I would have qualified as one of skill
`
`in art according to the above definition.
`
`IV. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`For the purposes of this declaration, I have been asked to assume
`
`27.
`
`constructions for certain claim terms as presented in the following table. For all
`
`remaining claim terms, I have assumed their plain and ordinary meaning.
`
`
`
`Claim term
`
`“payment data”
`(Claim 1)
`
`“supplementary data”
`(Claim 10)
`
`
`

`V.
`STATE OF THE ART
`28. By Smartflash’s claimed priority date of October 25, 1999, the elements
`
`of the challenged claims were all well-known in the art, and their combination as
`
`claimed was also well-known or at minimum obvious to a person of ordinary skill. 2
`
`29. Years before the October 25, 1999 priority date claimed by Smartflash,
`
`the sale and distribution of digital products and content protection for digital products
`
`were well-known. Further, the concept of providing access to data in exchange for
`
`payment as well known.
`
`30.
`
`For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,999,806, entitled “Software Distribution
`
`System,” filed on September 4, 1987 and issued on March 12, 1991, to Fred Chernow
`
`and Randy J. Peterson (“the Chernow patent”), discloses a system and method for the
`
`sale and distribution of digital data by telephone, including content protection for the
`
`purchased content. See, e.g., Ex. 1006, the Chernow patent, at Abstract “A central
`
`station distributes software by telephone. The central station accepts credit card
`
`information, transmits an acceptance code to a caller and then terminates the call.
`
`After verifying the credit card information, the station calls the purchaser back and
`
`
`2 At various points in this declaration I refer to my opinions about the knowledge or
`
`understanding of a person of ordinary skill in the art. All of these opinions should be
`
`understood to refer to the knowledge or understanding of a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art as of October 25, 1999, unless specifically noted otherwise.

`continues with the transaction only after receiving the acceptance code.”); col. 1, ln.
`
`67-col. 2, ln. 9 (“It is an object of this invention to provide a means for selling and
`
`distributing protected software using standard telephone lines for transferring the
`
`software from the seller to the purchaser. Another object of this invention is to
`
`permit the purchaser to rent the protected software for a period of time after which it
`
`will self destruct. Another object of this invention is to permit the purchaser to rent
`
`the protected software for a specific number of runs which would be useful, e.g., if the
`
`software were a game.”).
`
`31. U.S. Patent No. 4, 878, 245, entitled “Control and Metering System for
`
`Pay Television Over a Cable Network,” filed January 22, 1987 and issued October 31,
`
`1989, to Graham C. Bradley et al. (“the Bradley patent”), discloses a system for pay
`
`television. See, e.g., Ex. 1007, the Bradley patent, at Abstract, col. 4 lns. 27-35 (“This
`
`apparatus can permit programming to be sold to the subscriber by the month, by the
`
`program, and by the hour of any portion thereof. Payment by the month is known as
`
`Subscription Television. Payment by the program is known as Pay-per-View.
`
`Payment by viewing time is known as Pay-for-Use (PFU) television. It also permits
`
`the Cable Operator to share revenues with independent programming suppliers
`
`sharing some portion of the cable TV distribution system.”).
`
`32. U.S. Patent No. 5,675,734, entitled “Method for Transmitting a Desired
`
`Digital Video or Audio Signal,” filed September 18, 1990 and issued March 2, 1993, to
`
`Arthur R. Hair (“the Hair patent”), discloses a method for electronic sales of digital
`
`
`
`
`13
`
`Page 00014
`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`audio and digital video. See, e.g., Ex. 1005, the Hair patent, at Abstract (“A method for
`
`transferring desired digital video of digital audio signals”), col. 1, lns. 15-20 (“The
`
`present invention is related to a system and associated method for the electronic sales
`
`and distribution of digital audio or digital video signals, and more particularly, to a
`
`system and method which a user may purchase and receive digital audio or digital
`
`video signals from any location which the user has access to telecommunications
`
`lines.”).
`
`33.
`
`In addition, U.S. Patent No. 5,103,392, entitled “System for Storing
`
`History of Use of Programs Including User Credit Data and Having Access by the
`
`Proprietor,” filed on December 5, 1990 and issued on April 7, 1991, to Ryoichi Mori
`
`and assigned to Fujitsu Limited (“the Mori patent”), discloses a method for storing
`
`information about customer use so that a customer can be charged according to that
`
`use and in accordance with that customer’s credit. See, e.g., Ex. 1012, the Mori Patent
`
`at, col. 1, ln. 64-col. 2, ln. 17 (“In accordance with a fundamental aspect of the present
`
`invention, there is provided a system for storing data on the history of use of
`
`programs, including a data processing apparatus used by a user and program storage
`
`means for storing a program acquired from a proprietor and program-specific data.
`
`The data processing apparatus includes user-specific credit data storage means for
`
`storing data identifying the user of the data processing apparatus and indicating credit
`
`for payment capacity, use time length, or the like of the user of the data processing
`
`apparatus. Also included is use decision means for determining permission to use the

`Poggio patent application”), likewise discloses a content distribution system that
`
`provides for secure transactions and content protection. See, e.g., Ex. 1016, the Poggio
`
`patent application, at Abstract (“A virtual vending machine manages a comprehensive
`
`vending service for the distribution of licensed electronic data (i.e., products) over a
`
`distributed computer system. . . . The virtual vending machine distributes licenses for
`
`the electronic data for the complete product or for components thereof and for a
`
`variety of time frames, including permanent licenses and rental period licenses. The
`
`virtual vending machine provides client computers with the capability to obtain
`
`information regarding the available products and the associated license fees and rental
`
`periods, to receive the product upon receipt of a corresponding electronic payment,

`and to reload the product during the term of the license.”). The Poggio patent
`
`application will be discussed in more detail below and in Appendix D, and that
`
`discussion is incorporated here by reference.
`
`35.
`
`Similarly, a 1997 IEEE article, “The Secure Distribution of Digital
`
`Contents,” by Eberhard von Faber, Robert Hammelrath, and Franz-Peter Heider
`
`(“the von Faber article”), recognized in its Introduction that “Electronic commerce
`
`systems dealing with the distribution of digital contents like software or multimedia
`
`data have to couple the use of the provided digital goods with a prior payment for the
`
`goods in a way which cannot be bypassed.” See Ex. 1020, the von Faber article, at 1.
`
`The von Faber article sets forth a proposal for a system in which encrypted contents
`
`are distributed and customers purchase keys required to utilize that encrypted content.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1020, the von Faber article, at 1 (“The basic idea of one possible solution
`
`is to distribute the contents in encrypted form, and to have the customer pay for the
`
`key which he needs to transform the encrypted content in an usable form. The
`
`security problem can in this way be transformed into a problem of key distribution.”);
`
`(“The Content Provider provides digital contents in encrypted form being distributed
`
`by the Content Distributor. The Key Management System holds the keys for the
`
`contents to be decrypted. The Authorisation System permits the distribution of the
`
`appropriate key after settling of the fees payable by the Customer, who will enjoy the
`
`decrypted digital contents. The role of the Content Distributor is not essential for the
`
`
`
`
`16

`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`subsequent discussion but, of course, for the business to take place.”); see also Ex.
`
`1020, the von Faber article Fig. 1.
`
`36. The von Faber article recognizes that its system could be used for
`
`different content distribution methods and different payment methods known in the
`
`art. See, e.g., Ex. 1020, the von Faber article at 22 (“The outlined system has the
`
`following characteristics: Different methods can be used to distribute the encrypted
`
`contents (standard techniques). This includes broadcasting, point-to-point
`
`networking, as well as offering disks. Different electronic payment methods can be
`
`integrated independent from the number of protocol steps needed. This includes
`
`credit card based systems as well as electronic purses. This flexibility leads to the fact
`
`that totally different authorisation methods can be integrated.”).
`
`37.
`
`Further, the von Faber article recognized that the issue of payment
`
`distribution to content providers, such as royalties, would also need to be addressed.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1020, the von Faber article, at 22 (“The system will support re-selling in a
`
`simple way. Re-sellers can integrate other manufacturer’s products into own packages
`
`without the need of signing any extra contract. The system automatically divides the
`
`package price (payments) and guarantees that the money is transferred to each
`
`Content Provider whose product has been integrated into the package.”).
`
`38.
`
`In addition, U.S. Patent No. 5,915,019 (“the Ginter patent”), entitled
`
`“Systems and Methods for Secure Transaction Management and Electronic Rights
`
`Protection,” filed on January 8, 1997 and issued on June 22, 1999, discloses “systems
`
`
`
`
`17
`
`Page 00018
`
`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review
`United States Patent No. 8,033,458
`and methods for secure transaction management and electronic rights protection.”
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1015, the Ginter patent, at Abstract. The Ginter patent describes a
`
`“virtual distribution environment” (which it terms a “VDE”) to “control and/or
`
`meter or otherwise monitor use of electronically stored or disseminated information.”
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1015, the Ginter patent, at Abstract. The Ginter patent’s system “help[s]
`
`to ensure that information is accessed and used only in authorized ways, and
`
`maintain[s] the integrity, availability, and/or confidentiality of the information.” See,
`
`e.g., Ex. 1015, the Ginter patent, at Abstract. Further, the Ginter patent’s “techniques
`
`may be used to support an all-electronic information distribution, for example,
`
`utilizing the ‘electronic highway.’” See, e.g., Ex. 1015, the Ginter patent, at Abstract.
`
`39.
`
`In addition, the Ginter patent discloses that the various entities that
`
`comprise the VDE architecture 100 of FIG. 1 can flexibly take on any of the roles
`
`taught in conjunction with the operation and functions of the VDE systems and
`
`methods. See, e.g., the Ginter patent at col. 61, lns. 22-43 (“All participants of VDE
`
`100 have the innate ability to participate in any role. For example, users may gather
`
`together existing protected packages, add (create new content) package of their own,
`
`and create new products. They may choose to serve as their own distributor, or
`
`delegate this responsibility to others. . . . The distribution process provided by VDE
`
`100 is symmetrical; any end-user may redistribute information received to other end-
`
`users, provided they possess permission from and follow the rules established by the
`
`distribution chain VDE control information governing redistribution. End users also
`
`
`
`
`18

`
`
` Covered Business Method Patent Review

`may, within the same rules and permissions restriction, encapsulate content owned by
`
`others within newly published works and distribute these works independently.
`
`Royalty payments for the new works may be accessed by the publisher, distributors,
`
`or end-users, and may be tracked and electronically collected at any stage of the
`
`chain.”). To one of ordinary skill this flexibility is a powerful and expansive teaching,
`
`and serves as a strong invitation and suggestion to consider combinations of the
`
`disclosures of the Ginter patent with other systems and teachings in the art to take
`
`advantage of this flexibility.
`

`
`Storage and utilization of content stored on mobile communication
`
`devices, such as cellular phones, was likewise well known. For example, PCT
`
`Application Publication No. WO 99/43136, listing applicant Ericsson, Inc. and
`
`inventors Nils R. Rydbeck and John P. Fussell, and published on August 26, 1999
`
`(“the Rydbeck PCT application”) discloses that a user equipment device for storing
`
`digital content in non-volatile memory can be a cellular phone (a mobile
`
`communications device). See, e.g
