`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: All right. So we're on the
`
`record. Good afternoon. This is Judge Medley, along
`
`with Judge Arpin. This is a call regarding CBM
`
`2016-00100.
`
` I'd like to begin with a role call for
`
`Petitioner.
`
` MR. SMITH: Good afternoon, Judge, this is
`
`Christopher Smith on behalf of Ford Motor Company, and
`
`also on the call with me is Tom Lewry and Cathy Nikkila.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, thank you.
`
` MS. MOJICA: This is Lissi Mojica also on the
`
`call for the Petitioner.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Anybody else for
`
`Petitioner?
`
` MR. SMITH: No, Your Honor.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, and for Patent Owner?
`
` MS. HOLOUBEK: For Patent Owner, this is
`
`Michelle Holoubek and with me on the call are Rob Sterne,
`
`Sal Bezos and Sharoon Saleem.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, great, thank you very much.
`
`And obviously we have a court reporter. Who requested,
`
`or who is the court reporter working for?
`
` MS. HOLOUBEK: The Patent Owner, Versata,
`
`requested the court reporter.

`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, so Patent Owner, could you
`
`please file a copy of the transcript as an exhibit as
`
`soon as possible?
`
` MS. HOLOUBEK: Yes, Your Honor.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: We understand the Patent Owner
`
`requests us to expunge Petitioner's rehearing request as
`
`untimely, and if we do not, Patent Owner requests
`
`authorization to file an opposition to their --
`
`Petitioner's rehearing request. I'd like to begin by
`
`hearing from Petitioner as to why your rehearing request
`
`was filed a day late.
`
` MR. SMITH: Yes, Your Honor. This is
`
`Christopher Smith on behalf of the Petitioner.
`
` It's Ford's position that it wasn't filed late.
`
`There was an issue with the -- attaching the document,
`
`and we could -- we'd actually be willing to provide a
`
`declaration that sets forth all the facts, but
`
`effectively, we went through the procedure and submitted
`
`the filing, we actually got a receipt indicating that it
`
`had been filed on April 19th at 3:18 p.m. Eastern
`
`standard time, and at that point we thought we were
`
`filed.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: So you didn't check -- you didn't
`
`independently check the P -- Patent End To End system to
`
`make sure that it had been uploaded?

`
` MR. SMITH: It was listed on the docket report
`
`but -- would it be okay if Cathy Nikkila could speak?
`
`She was the secretary that actually filed the document
`
`and she has information that might be helpful to the
`
`Court.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: That's fine, I don't need to hear
`
`from her. I'd rather hear from counsel for Petitioner.
`
`I just wanted to know if you all had independently gone
`
`into Patent End to End to verify that, yes, it had been
`
`uploaded. I'm not saying you had to, I'm just wondering
`
`what other steps you had taken besides just receiving the
`
`receipt.
`
` MR. SMITH: We did not independently check that
`
`based on the fact that we had received a receipt,
`
`therefore we thought it was filed.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, good enough. And then I
`
`believe we contacted you the following day to say it
`
`looked like you had attempted but we don't see anything,
`
`and then you went ahead and uploaded again; correct?
`
` MR. SMITH: That is correct, Your Honor.
`
`Immediately after we had received your phone message,
`
`we actually followed up with the PTAB to verify what they
`
`wanted us to do and we were instructed to try refiling.
`
`Apparently the issue had come down to -- with the PTAB
`
`website, effectively a window -- after the filing issue

`
`had come up and we thought it had been filed, there was a
`
`window under multiple windows where there was a Done
`
`button that needed to be clicked and it was just missed.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay.
`
` MR. SMITH: But on top of filing it -- just to
`
`make this clear -- we also served the document on
`
`opposing counsel, on then what was filed the subsequent
`
`day was the identical document that was served on counsel
`
`on April 19th.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: So you independently served; you
`
`didn't agree to serve it through Patent End to End?
`
` MR. SMITH: We independently served via email.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay.
`
` Okay, I'd like to hear from Patent Owner. So
`
`having heard from the Petitioner, we wanted to focus
`
`specifically on why we should not excuse a one-day late
`
`filing for rehearing request. Specifically, could you
`
`identify the prejudice to you?
`
` MS. HOLOUBEK: Certainly, Your Honor. This is
`
`Michelle Holoubek for the Patent Owner. There are a couple
`
`of things here that need to be pointed out as they should
`
`be considered as calculus.
`
` One, the renotice, this receipt that Petitioner
`
`talks about that was received on the 19th, it actually
`
`includes a document uploaded field that was left blank,
`
`Veritext Legal Solutions
`215-241-1000 ~ 610-434-8588 ~ 302-571-0510 ~ 202-803-8830

`

`

`

`

`

`
`Page 7
`
`so it should have been evidence that no documents were
`
`uploaded. Even though the Patent Owner called it a
`
`receipt, it's a receipt that actually puts the Petitioner
`
`on notice that no document was uploaded.
`
` Additionally, the Board has a rule that governs
`
`late filings. They're governed by 35 CFR 42.5(c)(3) and
`
`that indicates that a late action will be excused on a
`
`showing of good cause or upon the Board's decision that
`
`consideration would be in the interest of justice.
`
` Here the proper procedures weren't followed and
`
`the e-mail that we received, the service e-mail that we
`
`received on the 20th, Ford indicated that due to a
`
`clerical error -- and I think we just heard them admit
`
`that there was an error on filing when they didn't click
`
`the Done button, they said that the request hadn't been
`
`uploaded into E to E and so they just filed the document
`
`anew on the 20th.
`
` This -- you know, the Board has rules for
`
`reasons and the Board has previously dealt with issues
`
`where dates were missed because of upload issues and laid
`
`out a particular procedure that should be followed. That
`
`hasn't been done here. The filing was made without any
`
`discussion with Patent Owner about whether that was the
`
`proper procedure to follow when they had been notified
`
`that their filing had not actually been made. And so --
`

`

`
`Page 8
`
`the Board also has a procedure for requesting a waiver of
`
`due date. That hasn't happened. We've heard the
`
`Petitioner say that a filing date was not missed, and
`
`they had previously indicated to us in other
`
`correspondence that they do not believe a waiver of the
`
`due date was necessary because they maintained that it
`
`was filed on the 19th. And therefore, the harm to the
`
`Patent Owner is that this case was over and done with,
`
`and a day after the deadline it has now been tried to
`
`revive. The deadline passed without documents being
`
`filed or having performed the necessary showings of good
`
`cause in the interest of justice to accept the late
`
`filing, and it's really opening a Pandora's box to grant
`
`a filing date -- or extension of a filing date that the
`
`Petitioner hasn't requested or argued is necessary. And
`
`could be detrimental to us as well because this case was
`
`finished, and even though Petitioner may have tried to
`
`upload, they were unsuccessful in the proper filing by
`
`the due date.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. We'll let Petitioner wrap
`
`up on this issue just briefly.
`
` MR. SMITH: Thank you, Your Honor. I've just
`
`got a couple things.
`
` First, the filing receipt, it did -- the filing
`
`courtesy notice, the notice I believe that wasn't
`
`Veritext Legal Solutions
`215-241-1000 ~ 610-434-8588 ~ 302-571-0510 ~ 202-803-8830

`

`
`Page 9
`
`uploaded, admittedly -- admittedly -- I mean, we'll agree
`
`that the document doesn't appear at the bottom of the
`
`page, but it wasn't our understanding that that indicated
`
`it hadn't been uploaded.
`
` And I would further argue that in the interest
`
`of justice -- so, first of all, we served the proper
`
`document on Patent Owner, so they're not prejudiced at
`
`all. They had the document on the date. As soon as we
`
`were notified by the Patent Office that it didn't get --
`
`the document did not get uploaded properly, we
`
`immediately called the Patent Office, followed their
`
`procedure, which was to refile the document, and within
`
`an hour of receiving the call we refiled the document,
`
`included the Patent Owner on the communication when we
`
`sent that e-mail that the Patent Owner referenced about
`
`the clerical error. It all really comes down to a Done
`
`button being missed under three layers of web pages on
`
`the PTAB website, and we would think it would be against
`
`the interest of justice to conclude that we missed our
`
`ability to seek rehearing over something as trivial as
`
`that, and we had served it already on Patent Owner the
`
`day before. Thank you, Your Honor.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. All right, thank you.
`
`We've conferred and based on the facts of this case and
`
`the presentation, we excuse the one-day late filing of
`
`Veritext Legal Solutions
`215-241-1000 ~ 610-434-8588 ~ 302-571-0510 ~ 202-803-8830

`
`the rehearing request.
`
` So moving on, Patent Owner seeks authorization
`
`to file an opposition to the rehearing request. We
`
`generally do not authorize oppositions to rehearing
`
`requests, as you know, so Patent Owner, we would like you
`
`to please explain why we should deviate from our ordinary
`
`practice of not entertaining opposition to rehearing
`
`requests.
`
` MS. HOLOUBEK: Certainly, Your Honor. Again,
`
`this is Michelle Holoubek for the Patent Owner.
`
` In this case, the Patent Owner should be
`
`instilled to an opposition because Ford's request raises
`
`new arguments on a cap federal circuit opinion that was
`
`decided after the instituted decision in this case was
`
`issued. This constitutes a new argument based on a case
`
`that had not previously been briefed in the CBM. So
`
`Patent Owner would like a reply so that it can address
`
`two issues. The first is the procedural errors for
`
`submitting a reply that does not meet the requirements of
`
`37 CFR 42.71(d), which is the rule that governs the
`
`filing of a request for rehearing in the first place.
`
`And then second, the reasons why Ford's argument on this
`
`new case has not disturbed the non-institution decision
`
`already entered on the Board.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, I'd like to hear from
`

`
`Petitioner. Petitioner, I'm assuming you oppose, or do
`
`you oppose them filing an opposition?
`
` MR. SMITH: Your Honor, in general we oppose
`
`because typically it's our understanding that a response
`
`is not typically granted or allowed. Ultimately, Your
`
`Honor, we would defer to the Board. If the Board feels
`
`that the Patent Owner -- a response would be helpful, you
`
`know, obviously it's the Board's discretion to do that.
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay. Yeah, so you raised the
`
`Rembrandt Wireless case initially, it may be pertinent to
`
`hear from them on that issue.
`
` Okay, we're going to confer and we'll be right
`
`back with you.
`
` MS. HOLOUBEK: Thank you, Your Honor.
`
` (Pause in proceeding.)
`
` JUDGE MEDLEY: Okay, we're back. Thank you for
`
`your patience.
`
` We've conferred and we've decided that we would
`
`like to hear from the Patent Owner, especially on the
`
`Rembrandt Wireless case and how that would apply in this
`
`case. So we're going to authorize Patent Owner to file a
`
`four-page response or opposition to the rehearing motion,
`
`and we're also going to authorize Petitioner to file a
`
`reply, two-page reply, and these papers are limited only
`
`to the Rembrandt Wireless case. We don't want to hear
