`
`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION TO SUBMIT SUPPLEMENTAL
`INFORMATION AND BRIEFING UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.223(b)
`
`

`
`
`
`
`

`
`Patent Owner (“TT”) moves to submit supplemental information and
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`briefing under 37 C.F.R. § 42.223(b), as authorized by the Board. Paper 82.1
`
`Although TT has been trying to submit this information for months, Petitioners
`
`have objected due to the district court protective order (“PO”) under which the
`
`information was produced. Because Petitioners only recently withdrew their PO
`
`objections, TT could not have provided this information earlier.
`
`It is in the interests of justice for TT to be permitted to submit supplemental
`
`information and briefing because Petitioners’ documents and testimony directly
`
`support TT’s positions on non-obviousness and patent eligibility, while
`
`contradicting the position of Petitioners and their experts. Petitioners’ experts
`
`falsely claim that GUIs are not technological in nature, GUIs are not functional and
`
`instead are merely an arrangement of known elements on a computer screen that
`
`have no purpose beyond aesthetics, and that there is no inventive concept disclosed
`
`and claimed in TT’s patents. And yet, evidence from Petitioners’ files tells a
`
`different story. There is no burden or prejudice to Petitioners that will result from
`
`1 Pursuant to the Board’s order, TT has only summarized the supplemental
`
`information without directly filing them and interprets the Board’s order to
`
`preclude quoting from the documents as well. However, the language of the
`
`documents strongly supports TT’s position and TT would welcome the opportunity
`
`to submit quotes, excerpts, and the documents themselves.
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`
`TT submitting such information as they may address it in their Reply due
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`September 9, 2016. Thus, TT seeks to submit the documents described below
`
`along with a 10-page supplemental brief.
`
`I.
`
`THE INFORMATION REASONABLY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN
`SUBMITTED EARLIER DUE TO PETITIONERS’ REPEATED
`CONFIDENTIALITY OBJECTIONS AND THE TIMING OF
`RECEIPT OF THE INFORMATION
`
`TT could not have reasonably submitted the information it seeks to
`
`supplement the record with earlier. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.223(b). First, TT did not
`
`receive all of the documents, testimony, or authentication of the evidence until the
`
`second week of June, after TradeStation (“TS”) and IB depositions from June 8-13,
`
`2016. See infra § II. Thus, the earliest TT could have possibly submitted this body
`
`of evidence (if not for Petitioners’ PO objections) was after those depositions.
`
`Second, TT could not submit this information in its Patent Owner Responses
`
`(“PORs”) due two weeks later because Petitioners have continuously, and
`
`strategically objected to TT’s reliance or filing of any of Petitioners’ confidential
`
`information based on the fact that Petitioners produced such information under the
`
`district court’s PO2, and not the PTAB’s. Indeed, TT has acted diligently from even
`
`
`2 Petitioners have objected based the district court PO that provides that
`
`confidential information “shall not be used for any purpose other than in this
`
`Proceeding.” Ex. 2407, ¶11. The PO was entered more than a year before
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`before the date discovery was completed (June 13) to make this evidence of record,
`
`engaging Petitioners numerous times to try to resolve the PO issues to use the
`
`documents produced in the litigation in the PTAB. For example, in early May, TT
`
`requested that Petitioners produce this information in the PTAB proceedings under
`
`the default PO (see Ex. 2395), but Petitioners refused this streamlining, demanding
`
`TT instead seek the information as Additional Discovery (see Ex. 2396).
`
`In late May, TT’s litigation counsel again requested that Petitioners agree
`
`that TT could use the information at the PTAB notwithstanding the PO, but
`
`Petitioners again objected, delaying weeks to confer on this point. Ex. 2397. TT’s
`
`PTAB counsel repeated its request to Petitioners’ PTAB counsel on May 31 (Ex.
`
`2398), and held conferrals on June 2 (Ex. 2399 at 1-3) and June 7 (Ex. 2400). The
`
`disagreement culminated with the Board call on June 13, where Petitioners
`
`admitted that “documents that are merely proprietary to [TS] could be reproduced
`
`separate from the litigation without violating that protective order.” Ex. 2140 at
`
`18:22-19:9. The Board authorized TT to file a Motion for Additional Discovery by
`
`June 15, but Petitioners’ objections based on the PO still stood in the way of TT
`
`filing or referencing Petitioners’ information in that motion.
`
`As such, TT filed an emergency motion with the district court, noticed for
`
`June 15, seeking permission to bring such documents to the Board’s attention. On
`
`enactment of the AIA creating CBM and IPR proceedings, and the PTAB itself.
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`June 14, Petitioners reached out to TT and offered to “moot” TT’s district court
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`motion (see Ex. 2401) and later agreed that TT could reference and file a
`
`representative sample of the documents in its Motion. TT agreed to the proposal
`
`and withdrew its district court motion. However, this Board denied TT’s motion
`
`for Additional Discovery on Friday, June 24. As TT’s PORs were due the
`
`following Monday, on June 27, there was no time for TT to seek relief from the
`
`district court prior to filing the PORs.
`
`On July 1, TT sought relief from the district court PO to file the materials in
`
`an offer of proof before the PTAB. The district court granted the motion on July 7,
`
`stating that the basis was “because the PTAB has to have all material, relevant
`
`information, to make its determination. And to have all of this relevant information
`
`that I’ve deemed to be appropriate in this litigation and not have it in front of them
`
`doesn’t move the proceeding . . . .” Ex. 2402 at 13:17-21.
`
`TT requested a call with the Board on July 8 to seek authorization to file an
`
`offer of proof. The Board held the call on July 15 and on July 19, the Board denied
`
`TT’s request but suggested that TT seek supplemental information and briefing at
`
`this stage of the proceeding. Paper 73 at 6.
`
`Thus, the week of July 25, TT notified Petitioners that TT would file a
`
`motion with the district court seeking leave to file the requested materials with the
`
`Board as supplemental information. On July 29, Petitioners notified TT that they
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`would not object to TT’s request to file the transcripts and documents as
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`supplemental information/briefing on the basis of the PO, and that TT could
`
`reference such material in a motion, so long as any confidential material was filed
`
`under the default PO for the CBM proceedings. Ex. 2403 at 2-3. On August 1,
`
`Petitioners clarified that TT could refer to confidential material on the Board call
`
`as well. TT requested a board call on August 8, 2016. Id. at 1. The Board
`
`authorized TT’s filing of the present motion on August 10, 2016. Paper 82.
`
`Petitioners are responsible for TT’s not submitting the information sooner.
`
`Had Petitioners simply agreed earlier that their confidential information could be
`
`protected by the default PO, TT could have submitted the documents and
`
`arguments with its PORs. It was only after TT already filed its PORs and the
`
`district court made clear that it believed this information should be submitted to the
`
`PTAB that Petitioners’ concerns with confidentiality have dissolved without
`
`explanation. Ex. 2393 at 11. TT cannot now be faulted for respecting the orders of
`
`this tribunal denying the Additional Discovery, and seeking to minimize, not
`
`duplicate, its efforts to achieve the same result with the district court. TT should be
`
`permitted to rely on and affirmatively submit the testimony and documents in
`
`supplemental briefing now that the PO issues have been resolved.
`
`II. THE INTERESTS OF JUSTICE REQUIRE THAT TT SHOULD
`BE ABLE TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE CONTRADICTING
`PETITIONERS’ POSITIONS
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`
`Here, the interests of justice require that TT be permitted to submit evidence
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`that is highly relevant to this case. The PTAB has explained that “[w]ith respect to
`
`the issue of whether submission of the supplemental information is in the interests
`
`of justice, we are mindful that a trial is, first and foremost, a search for the truth.”
`
`Edmund Optics, Inc. v. Semrock, Inc., IPR2014-00599, Paper 44 (granting request
`
`for supplemental information) (citing Nix v. Whiteside, 475 U.S. 157, 166 (1986)).
`
`The ten documents and transcripts TT identifies below are unique because
`
`they provide the Petitioners’ true perspective on issues central to this proceeding,
`
`such as objective indicia of nonobviousness and the technological nature of the
`
`claimed invention, all in contravention of Petitioners’ positions before this Board:

`2158 Email from M. Galik dated July 19, 2011 (IBG_00014726 –
`IBG_00014731)
`
`Many of the documents were produced as a result of the district court’s order
`
`
`
`in May of 2016, staying the litigation but ordering additional discovery despite the
`
`stay because, as the district judge stated: “I believe the discovery materials will be
`
`beneficial, both when the case resumes and also before the PTAB.” Ex. 2142
`
`(emphasis added). As this Board moved the deadline for TT’s PORs so that this
`
`information could be raised in this proceeding, the interests of justice favor
`
`consideration. Further, the district court has reiterated that this information should
`
`be considered. Ex. 2402 at 13:17-21 (“to have all of this relevant information that
`
`I’ve deemed to be appropriate in this litigation and not have it in front of [the
`
`PTAB] doesn’t move the proceeding”).
`
`There is no burden or prejudice to Petitioners if TT submits this as
`
`supplemental information or briefing as Petitioners have known TT’s positions on
`
`these documents for months (see, e.g., Ex. 2398-2400), and have prevented TT’s
`
`submission due to alleged confidentiality concerns that they have since withdrawn.
`
`In any event, as the Board has limited TT’s request to only 10 documents out of 97
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`
`that it originally sought to submit, Petitioners should have no issue responding to
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`this evidence in their Reply. Thus, the interests of justice strongly support that TT
`
`be permitted to submit this evidence to provide a full and accurate view of
`
`Petitioners’ true perspective on the claimed inventions and their value.
`
`Petitioners will likely argue that evidence related to the Matrix and
`
`BookTrader are not relevant to the claims-at-issue in this proceeding. However,
`
`this is not accurate. By way of background, there can be no dispute that TT’s
`
`MD_Trader product embodies the patents-in-suit. See, e.g., Trading Tech. v.
`
`eSpeed, Int’l, Inc., 595 F.3d. 1340, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (“MD_Trader, one of
`
`TT’s commercial embodiments of the [‘304 and ‘132] patents-in suit .…”).
`
`Likewise, Petitioners’ Matrix and BookTrader windows also embody the patent-in-
`
`suit, a fact TT would specifically address in supplemental briefing. Indeed, the
`
`Bartleman testimony and documents TT seeks to submit show that
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`, against the Matrix and BookTrader. Thus, the evidence below is
`
`directly related to the claims-at-issue. See, e.g., Nike Inc., 812 F.3d at 1339;
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`
`Ashland Oil, Inc. v. Delta Resins & Refrac., Inc., 776 F.2d 281, 306 (Fed. Cir.
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`1985) (objective indicia “may be the most pertinent, probative, and revealing
`
`evidence available to the decision maker in reaching a conclusion on the
`
`obviousness/nonobviousness issue”); In re Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride Patent
`
`Litig., 676 F.3d 1063, 1079 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (fact finder “must withhold judgment
`
`on an obviousness challenge until it considers all relevant evidence, including that
`
`relating to objective considerations”). Even Petitioners admitted on the June 13
`
`Board call that “most of these requests relate to secondary considerations.…” Ex.
`
`2140 at 19.
`
`A. TS Testimony and Documents
`
`
`1. 30(b)(6) Deposition Transcripts of TS and Personal Deposition of
`John Bartleman, TS CEO (6/8/16 and 6/9/16 Transcripts)
`
`Mr. Bartleman, CEO of TS, gave binding corporate testimony on June 8,
`
`2016 (Ex. 2150) and corporate and personal testimony on June 9, 2016. Exhibit
`
`2150 authenticates Exhibits 2144 (Tr. at 255:9-25)4 and 2149 (Tr. at 333:2-14).
`
`The June 9, 2016 Bartleman Transcript authenticates Exhibits 2143 (Tr. at 658:4-
`
`20), 2145 (Tr. at 633:23-635:19), and 2147 (Tr. at 675:24-676:3).
`
`TT’s POR explains that the claimed invention is patent eligible because it
`
`
`4 Although TT is not filing exhibits per the Board’s instruction, TT has included
`
`pin cites to the documents for the benefit of Petitioners’ response to TT’s motion.

`
`improves the computer functionality. Paper 66 at 8. The June 9, 2016 Bartleman
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`Transcript is relevant because Mr. Bartleman admits that
`
`
`
`. 6/9/16
`
`Bartleman Tr. at 472:22-473:2. This supports that the claims are not abstract as the
`
`structure, makeup, and functionality of Matrix improves the computer functioning.
`
`TT’s POR states that the claimed invention is deeply rooted in technology.
`
`Paper 66 at 11. Exhibit 2150 confirms this, as Mr. Bartleman testified that
`
`
`
`2150 at 90:21-92:2; see also id. at 91:22-25; 6/9/16 Bartleman Tr. at 580:11-24,
`
` Ex.
`
`559:6-12, 668:22-669:11. At the time Matrix was developed in 2003,
`
`
`
`
`
`.
`
`6/9/16 Bartleman Tr. at 566:23-567:9, 649:21-650:20.
`
`TT’s POR argues that the claimed invention goes against conventional
`
`wisdom, and that problems with conventional GUI tools went unrecognized. Paper
`
`66 at 30. Exhibit 2150 and the June 9, 2016 Bartleman transcript are directly
`
`relevant to this position because Mr. Bartleman describes
`
`
`
`
`
`73:25-74:16, 96:7-97:12, 169:22-173:5, 270:22-272:5. TT’s POR also asserts that
`
` Ex.2150 at 22:18-24:7,
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`
`TT’s invention was demanded by traders and became a commercial success. Paper
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`66 at 41-48. The June 9, 2016 transcript includes admissions by Bartleman that the
`
`, showing both commercial success
`
`and that it went against conventional wisdom even in 2003. 6/9/16 Bartleman Tr. at
`
`689:21-690:16. The June 9, 2016 transcript includes other admissions by
`
`Bartleman that show commercial success. Id. at 668:15-669:11, 674:7-675:12.
`
`Further, TT argues in its POR that
`
`
`
`testimony, paired with Exhibits 2144 and PDX 3043 (detailed below), strongly
`
`. Paper 66 at 52. Mr. Bartleman’s

`
`2. Exhibit 2144, May 2003 Matrix Requirements & PDX 3043, April
`2003 TT Webpage of TT’s Commercial Embodiment, MD_Trader
`
`Exhibit 2144 is a May 2003 Matrix Requirements document that details the
`
`technical specifications for TS’s Matrix. TS produced this document to TT on
`
`December 23, 2015, but it was not authenticated until June 8, 2016. Additionally,
`
`TT seeks to submit PDX 3043, a printout of TT’s website describing and showing
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`MD_Trader as of April 2003 that TT did not discover the relevance of until June 8,
`
`2016. TT’s POR asserts that
`
`. Paper 66 at 52.
`
`Exhibit 2144 and PDX 3043 are relevant to this assertion because
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`.
`
`Exhibit 2144 also touts the claimed features of the commercial embodiment,
`
`namely,
`
`
`
` (id. at TS01707057). Further, the document acknowledges
`
`that Matrix (which embodies the claimed invention) is both
`
`
`
`. This further supports TT’s
`
`position that the invention was not obvious and recites an inventive concept, and
`
`which went against conventional wisdom at the time.
`
`3. Exhibit 2145, “Trading Options with TradeStation OptionStation
`
`TS produced Exhibit 2145 on November 5, 2015, and TT authenticated it on
`
`June 9, 2016. Exhibit 2145 is a TS Options Manual
`
`
`
`
`
` (id. at
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`
`TS0024612). TT’s POR states that the claimed invention is deeply rooted in
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`technology and that the claimed inventions solve technological problems. Paper 66
`
`at 11. Exhibit 2145 supports that position,
`
`
`
`
`
`. Exhibit 2145 further supports that TT’s
`
`position that the claimed invention is not abstract, and the benefits from the Matrix
`
`are directly attributable to the claimed features, as it highlights that Matrix
`
`embodies the claimed combination (id. at TS0024667).
`
`4. Exhibit 2143, February 15, 2011 “Barron’s Presentation—2011”
`
`
`TS produced Exhibit 2143 on November 5, 2015 and TT authenticated it on
`
`June 9, 2016. Exhibit 2143 is an interview TS gave to Barron’s
`
`
`
`
`
` (id. at TS0028765). TT’s POR discusses that the claimed
`
`invention was commercially successful. Paper 66 at 44-48. Exhibit 2143 supports
`
`
`
`.
`
`that contention because it acknowledges that
`
`5. PDX 3046, December 20, 2008 Email re “Matrix Taking Over”
`
`PDX 3046 is an email from TS employee Hans Stimming to John Bartleman
`
`(and others) entitled “Matrix Taking Over” that TS produced on May 4, 2016, and
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`
`TT authenticated on June 9, 2016. PDX 3046 at 667:7-668:8. TT’s POR states that
`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`TT’s claimed invention enjoyed commercial success, including by competitors
`
`who adopted it. Paper 66 at 44-48. PDX 3046 supports TT’s argument because the

`
`B. IB Testimony and Documents
`
`1. Exhibit 2154, 30(b)(6) Deposition Tr. of IB (Milan Galik, President)
`
`Exhibit 2154 is the 30(b)(6) deposition testimony of Milak Galik, President
`
`and head of software development for IB. Exhibit 2154 authenticates Exhibit 2156
`
`(331:10-25), and rebuts Petitioner’s expert, Mr. Román, who opined that electronic
`
`trading screens are purely aesthetic. Ex. 1007, ¶71. Specifically, Mr. Galik,
`
`
`
`. Ex. 2154 at 404:12-407:21.
`
`
`
`2. Exhibit 2156, June 14, 2010 Email regarding Booktrader
`
`Exhibit 2156 is an internal IB email sent by Mr. Galik that IB produced on
`
`June 2, 2016. Exhibit 2156 shows that the claimed invention is not abstract, and
`
`also that there is a nexus between the claimed inventions’ features and commercial
`
`
`
`success. Exhibit 2156 discusses that
`
`

`
`

`
`Case CBM2015-00182
`U.S. Patent 6,772,132
`
`
`
`
`3. Exhibit 2158, June 14, 2010 Email regarding Booktrader
`
`Exhibit 2158 is an email sent by Mr. Galik regarding
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`. Exhibit 2158
`
`also supports TT’s argument that the claimed GUIs are technological in nature, and
`
`not pure aesthetics as argued by Petitioners’ expert, Mr. Roman. Ex. 1007, ¶71.
`
`This document is thus directly related to patent eligibility, and is contrary to the
`
`position taken by Petitioners.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`Accordingly, TT requests that the Board grant its motion. As Petitioners’ PO
`
`objections have been resolved, TT may finally introduce this information into the
`
`Proceeding. It is in the interests of justice that such evidence be made of record in
`
`this case. Indeed, the evidence and briefing will show that Petitioners’ infringing
`
`GUIs that embody the claimed elements were superior to conventional GUI tools
`
`and enjoyed widespread commercial success. Further, the evidence will show that
`
`Petitioners viewed their infringing GUI tools as important technology that
`
`improves the functioning of the computer over prior art GUI’s, and not just an
`
`arrangement of known elements driven by aesthetics.
