`
`SUPPLEMENTAL DECLARATION OF RICHARD HARTHEIMER
`
`1, Richard Hartheirner, further declare as follows:
`
`Introduction
`
`26.
`
`I have now reviewed Defendants’ Reply Memorandum of Law on Support of their
`
`Joint Motion for Summary Judgment that the ‘O56 Patent is Invalid Under 35 U.S.C. § 112 '[| 1
`
`for Lack of Written Description and the supporting Declaration of Bernard S. Donefer.
`
`27.
`
`Based on that review, I understand the Defendants are asserting that I did not find
`
`any disclosure in the ‘056 patent of (1) “receiving a user input indicating a default quantity” or
`
`(2) a default quantity that is “to be used to determine a quantity for each of a plurality of orders
`
`to be placed by the user at one or more price levels.” This is not correct.
`
`“Receiving a User Input Indicating a Default Quantity”
`
`28.
`
`In my initial declaration, I explicitly cited to the specif1cation’s disclosure of “the
`
`manner in which a trader inputs (1 quamfitjy using the tokens 320, 324.” Hartheimer Decl. 1| 19
`
`

`
`Case: 1:10-cv-00715 Document #: 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 3 of 7 PageID #:20502
`Case: 1:10—cv—OO715 Document #2 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 3 of 7 Page|D #220502
`
`(citing ‘O56 Patent, col. 8:30-36) (emphasis added); see also Hartheimer Decl. 1| 12. This portion
`
`of the specification states:
`
`After being selected, the trader uajfusts the size of the offer or bid token 324, 320
`until the size of the token matches the desired quantity of the order. Preferably, a
`pop-up window or other screen indicator is displayed to show in numerical terms
`the quantity of the current size of the token, to ease the process of creating a
`properly sized order token.
`
`‘056 Patent, col. 8:30-36 (emphasis added)).
`
`29.
`
`In my initial declaration, I also cited to originally-filed claim 2, which I
`
`understand is part of the specification. Hartheimer Decl. 1| 24. This claim recites “an order token
`
`whose size is aajfustable by the user to reflect the quantity of the order." ‘056 File History, at
`
`TTXOI 328002 (emphasis added).
`
`30.
`
`This disclosure of the size (and thus the reflected default quantity) of a token 320,
`
`324 being mgfustuble by a user serves as clear disclosure of a computer receiving a user input
`
`indicating the disclosed default quantity. Indeed, when the user “adjusts” a token’s size (and
`
`reflected default quantity), the user is clearly inputting into a computer—-and the computer is
`
`thus receiVing—a new token size that indicates a new default quantity to be used for subsequent
`
`orders.
`
`31.
`
`Accordingly, I reiterate my conclusion that the specification conveys to a person
`
`of ordinary skill in the art that a computer receives a user input indicating the disclosed default
`
`quantity.
`
`Default Quantity that is “to be Used to Determine a Quantity for Each of a Plurality of
`Orders to be Placed by the User at One or More Price Levels”
`
`32.
`
`In my initial declaration, I concluded that “the specification conveys to a person
`
`of ordinary skill in the art that each token’s size and quantity remain unchanged between orders,
`
`

`
`Case: 1:10-cv-00715 Document #: 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 4 of 7 PageID #:20503
`Case: 1:10—cv—OO715 Document #2 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 4 of 7 Page|D #220503
`
`and thus that the inventors were in possession of the concept of a default quantity to be usedfor
`
`multiple orders.” Hartheimer Decl. 1[ 25 (emphasis added); see also Hartheimer Decl. W 14-20.
`
`By this, I meant that the inventors were in possession of the concept of a default quantity “to be
`
`used to determine a quantity for each of a plurality of orders to be placed by the user at one or
`
`more price levels."
`
`33.
`
`The specification’s disclosure of the default quantity being “used to determine a
`
`quantity for each of a plurality of orders to be placed by the user at one or more price level” can
`
`also be illustrated by the following example. To begin, a user may adjust the size of bid token
`
`324 to indicate a desired default quantity for buy orders.
`
`See ‘056 patent, col. 8:30-33;
`
`Hartheimer Decl {[11 12, 19. Thereafter, the user may drag and drop a copy of the bid token 324
`
`at a first value on the value axis 332 and then select "OK” in the order pop-up window to
`
`confinn a first buy order for the default quantity. See ‘056 patent, col. 8:36-53; Hartheimer Decl
`
`1H[ 13, 20. The default quantity reflected by the bid token 324 will thus be used to determine the
`
`quantity of the user's first buy order at the first price level. After placing the first buy order, the
`
`bid token’s size and reflected default quantity will remain the same (unless adjusted by the user).
`
`Hartheimer Decl. M 14-20, 25 (citing ‘O56 Patent, Fig. 3A-C, col. 8:30-53). At some later time,
`
`the user may then drag and drop another copy of the bid token 324 at a second value on the value
`
`axis 332 and then select "OK” in the order pop-up window to confirm a second buy order for the
`
`default quantity. See ‘056 patent, col. 8:36-53; I-Iartheilner Decl W 13, 20. The default quantity
`
`reflected by the bid token 324 will thus be used to determine the quantity of the user's second
`
`buy order at the second price level. Accordingly, this example—which is based entirely on the
`
`disclosure in the specification—demonstrates that the default quantity reflected by token is “used
`
`

`
`Case: 1:10-cv-00715 Document #: 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 5 of 7 PageID #:20504
`Case: 1:10—cv—00715 Document #2 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 5 of 7 Page|D #220504
`
`to determine a quantity for each of a plurality of orders to be placed by the user at one or more
`
`price levels."
`
`34.
`
`In my initial declaration, I also concluded that the specification does not require a
`
`user to indicate a quantity for each and every order. Hartheimer Decl. 1H[ 21-24.
`
`Instead, as
`
`disclosed in the specification, a user can adjust the size of a token 320, 324 once to indicate a
`
`desired default quantity parameter and the computer will then use this indicated default quantity
`
`parameter to determine the quantity for all subsequent orders placed with the token 320, 324
`
`unless and until the user makes another adjustment of the token’s size (or further adjusts the
`
`quantity in the order pop-up window).
`
`35.
`
`I understand the Defendants are asserting that the specification’s disclosure of a
`
`user entering orders for the same quantity by copying, dragging, and dropping a token
`
`representing that quantity for each order amounts to the user inputting a desired quantity
`
`parameter for each and every order. This is not correct. When the user takes the action of
`
`copying, dragging, and dropping a token, the user is simply placing a new order, which involves
`
`(1) inputting the type of order being placed (by selecting either the bid token 320 or the offer
`
`token 324) and (2) inputting a value (e.g., a price) for the order (by placing the selected token at
`
`a certain location along value axis 332). The process of copying, dragging, and dropping the
`
`token does not involve inputting a quantity, however. Rather, the action of inputting the quantity
`
`to be used for the order occurs before the user copies, drags, and drops the token, when the user
`
`adjusts the token to a new size that reflects a new default quantity. Moreover, as noted above,
`
`the user does not have to take this action of inputting a quantity parameter for each individual
`
`order. Rather, the user can simply rely on the preexisting default quantity reflected by the
`
`token—which was previously input by the user—as the quantity to be used for the order.
`
`

`
`Case: 1:10-cv-00715 Document #: 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 6 of 7 PageID #:20505
`Case: 1:10—cv—00715 Document #2 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 6 of 7 Page|D #220505
`
`36.
`
`I also understand the Defendants are attempting to equate (a) placing orders for
`
`the same quantity by repeatedly copying, dragging, and dropping a token 320, 324 representing
`
`that quantity with (b) placing orders for the same quantity by “repeatedly re-entering” that
`
`quantity parameter in the quantity box of the order task bar 328. This is not correct. When the
`
`user places an order using a token, a user can forgo manual entry of a quantity parameter before
`
`that order and instead rely on the preexisting default quantity parameter reflected by the token as
`
`the quantity parameter to be used for the order. On the other hand, when the user places an order
`
`using the order task bar 328, the user must always manually enter a quantity parameter in the
`
`quantity box.
`
`37.
`
`Accordingly, I reiterate my conclusion that the specification conveys to a person
`
`of ordinary skill in the art that the disclosed user-inputted default quantity is “to be used to
`
`determine a quantity for each of a plurality of orders to be placed by the user at one or more price
`
`levels.”
`
`Declaration of Bernard S. Donefer
`
`38.
`
`I understand Mr. Donefer disputes my conclusion that the ‘056 patent discloses
`
`the concept of a default quantity to be used for multiple orders.
`
`I have reviewed Mr. Donefer’s
`
`declaration, and I disagree with many of the assertions therein. At a minimum, for instance, I
`
`disagree with the proposed definition of “default quantity" set forth in paragraphs 9 and 18 of
`
`Mr. Donefer’s declaration.
`
`I also disagree with factual assertions set forth in at least paragraphs
`
`11-13, 15-16, and 13 of Mr. Donefer’s declaration.
`
`I reserve the right to address the assertions in
`
`Mr. Donefer’s declaration more fully at a later date.
`
`39.
`
`Even if I accept Mr. Donefer’s proposed definition of default quantity, however, I
`
`still conclude that the specification implicitly discloses such a default quantity. This is because a
`
`

`Case: 1:10—cv—OO715 Document #2 425-2 Filed: 10/21/11 Page 7 of 7 Page|D #220506
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that, when the user starts a new trading
`
`session after the computer has been turned off‘, the tokens will exist and have some associated
`
`quantity parameter before a first trade (which can then be adjusted by the user).
`
`40.
`
`Likewise, even if I accept Mr. Donefer’s factual assertions in paragraphs 11-13,
`
`15-16, and 18, I still conclude that the specification conveys to a person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art that the inventors were in possession of the concept of a default quantity to be used for
`
`multiple orders.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct and that this declaration
`
`was executed on this day of October, 201 1, in lg; J
