`Patent 5,832,494
`Pursuant to the Decision Instituting Trial (Paper 17) and the Office Trial
`
`Practice Guide 77 Fed. Reg. 48756 at 48765-66, Patent Owner Software Rights
`
`Archive, LLC (“SRA”) hereby provides a list of proposed motions that it may file
`
`during the trial:
`
` Motion Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.121 To Amend
`
`SRA may file a motion to amend to cancel one or more of the challenged
`
`claims on which trial was instituted. Specifically, in the Decision, the Board
`
`instituted inter partes review of claims 1, 5, 8, 10, 11, 14-16, 35, and 40 on the
`
`following grounds:
`
`1. Claims 14-16 of the ’494 Patent are unpatentable, under 35 U.S.C. § 102, as
`anticipated by Fox Thesis;
`
`2. Claims 1 and 5 of the ’494 Patent are unpatentable, under 35 U.S.C. § 102,
`as anticipated by Fox SMART;
`
`3. Claims 8, 10, 11, and 35 of the ’494 Patent are unpatentable, under 35
`U.S.C. § 103(a), as obvious over Fox SMART and Envision; and
`
`4. Claim 40 of the ’494 Patent is unpatentable, under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a), as
`obvious over Fox Thesis, Envision, and Salton.
`
`
`SRA may seek to cancel one or more of dependent claims 8, 10, 11, 35, and 40,
`
`which would partially or fully eliminate the unpatentability grounds based on
`
`obviousness in the inter partes review proceeding.
