`
`I.
`
`Background
`
`3.
`
`My name is A. L. Narashimha Reddy. I am currently the J.W.
`
`Runyon Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M
`
`University in College Station, Texas. I have over 25 years of experience in a wide
`
`variety of technologies and industries relating to data storage and retrieval.
`
`4.
`
`I was a graduate student at the University of Illinois, Urbana-
`
`Champaign during August 1985–August 1990 and I was a Research Staff Member
`
`at IBM Almaden Research Center during August 1990–August 1995. I joined
`
`Texas A&M University as a faculty member in August 1995. I have been using
`
`Usenet newsgroups from 1985 onwards. Usenet newsgroups provided an easy
`
`mechanism to share information and learn from others.
`
`5.
`
`Usenet newsgroups are organized based on various topics related to
`
`computer technology, social issues, and any other topic that people would like to
`
`discuss with others. I used to subscribe to several computer-related newsgroups
`
`and some social newsgroups. Until the World Wide Web became popular,
`
`newsgroups were one of the fastest ways to disseminate information to others.
`
`People with similar interests gather and post articles on different topics in different
`
`newsgroups.

`
`II.
`
`The LANGER Reference
`
`8.
`
`I have been asked to provide my understanding of certain facts
`
`relating to the following document:
`
`(cid:120)
`
`Albert Langer, “Re: dl/describe (File descriptions),” article
`
`<1991Aug7.225159.786@newshost.anu.edu.au> in Usenet
`
`newsgroups “alt.sources.d” and “comp.archives.admin” (August 7,
`
`1991) (the “Langer Reference,” RACK-1004).
`
`9.
`
`I obtained a copy of the Langer Reference (RACK-1004) from the
`
`“Google Groups” website, at the web address https://groups.google.com/. Google
`
`Groups contains a compilation of Usenet articles going back to the 1980s and is
`
`recognized as a key archive of Usenet articles. For example, running a Google
`
`3
`
`RACK-1008
`Page 3 of 34
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`Groups search on the term “albert langer unique identifier” returns the Langer
`
`Reference as one of the top results.
`
`10. As explained more fully below, it is my belief that the Langer
`
`Reference was publicly accessible on or about August 7, 1991.
`
`11.
`
`The Langer Reference is a Usenet article dated August 7, 1991. I
`
`have been familiar with Usenet since 1985 and more specifically, I was familiar
`
`with Usenet during the 1991–1992 time frame. Usenet was a worldwide system
`
`that facilitated discussion of various topics. Usenet was built on top of
`
`interconnected “news servers”. Clients connect to news servers to get access to
`
`articles posted on Usenet. A user could send and receive articles from their own
`
`computers. These computers connect to news servers that distribute articles to
`
`other news servers across the world. Articles were grouped into “newsgroups,”
`
`with each newsgroup covering a specific topic (both technical and non-technical).
`
`Usenet nodes automatically communicated among themselves to propagate articles
`
`to the entire network, which included many thousands of nodes worldwide. Users
`
`subscribed to different newsgroups and any new postings on those newsgroups are
`
`delivered to the subscribing users. Users can comment and reply to earlier articles,
`
`and the articles are threaded into different topics, much like e-mail systems do
`
`now.
`

`RACK-1008

`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`12. During the 1991–1992 time frame, I subscribed to several newsgroups
`
`in technical areas close to my research interests (e.g., computer networking,
`
`storage systems, computer architecture, and others). I regularly read articles from
`
`those newsgroups. Many of those newsgroups and articles were in the same
`
`technical field as the Langer Reference, namely, the management and distributed
`
`storage of data. I relied on Usenet as a significant and timely source of
`
`information to follow development in different technical fields. In that time frame,
`
`researchers regularly wrote Usenet articles to disseminate new ideas and to
`
`comment on others’ articles. Because the Usenet community was heavily
`
`concentrated around computer science departments, Usenet was a natural forum to
`
`discuss topics such as computer systems and networking.
`
`13.
`
`It is my belief that the Langer Reference is a true and correct copy of
`
`the document that Petitioner claims it is. Like all Usenet articles, the Langer
`
`Reference includes several “header fields” that provide essential information about
`
`the document. Each of those header fields has the format and content one would
`
`expect of an authentic Usenet article from the 1991 time frame. For example, the
`
`“From:” field identifies the article’s author (Albert Langer). The “Newsgroups:”
`
`field indicates that the article was posted to two newsgroups: “alt.sources.d” and
`
`“comp.archives.admin.” These newsgroups are listed in the well-known syntax
`
`5
`
`RACK-1008
`Page 5 of 34
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`one would expect. The “Subject:” field indicates the subject matter of the article,
`
`namely, a computer program relating to “File descriptions” that was posted to the
`
`“alt.sources” newsgroup. The “Message-ID:” field includes a unique identifier for
`
`the article. The “Date:” field indicates that the article was posted on August 7,
`
`1991 at approximately 10:52 p.m. GMT, which would have been automatically
`
`generated when the article was posted to Usenet. The simple, plain-text formatting
`
`and the use of email-like visual conventions (e.g., lines beginning with “>” to
`
`quote another article) are also consistent with the format of Usenet articles from
`
`the 1991 time frame. While a Usenet article has some similarities to an e-mail, it
`
`also has distinctive characteristics which identify it as a Usenet article. The
`
`presence of the “Newsgroups:”, “References:”, “Followup-To:”, “Organization:”,
`
`and “Lines:” fields all would have been normal for a Usenet article but unusual in
`
`e-mail. The address that appears in the “Sender:” field shows that this post
`
`originated from the newshost machine in Australian National University. In
`
`addition, this article was posted by Albert Langer as a reply to an earlier article, as
`
`noted by “Re:” in the subject header. Finally, the “Path:” header field contains the
`
`particular list of Usenet nodes that the article traversed until it reached the point
`
`where it was archived. I am confident that the Langer Reference (RACK-1004)
`
`6
`
`RACK-1008
`Page 6 of 34
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`was published to Usenet on the approximate date and time indicated and that the
`
`header and contents of the article in RACK-1004 are as originally posted.
`
`14.
`
`It is also my belief that the Langer Reference was publicly accessible
`
`prior to April 11, 1994. During the 1991–1992 time frame, Usenet was one of the
`
`preeminent Internet-based sources of information in a variety of technical fields.
`
`During that time, Usenet was widely available to University faculty, students, and
`
`staff, as well as to research and development employees of several commercial
`
`institutions that had Internet access. In addition, in the same time frame, access to
`
`Usenet via a telephone modem was commercially available to anyone for a fee
`
`(and the cost of network access or telephone service). See G. Todino et al., Using
`
`UUCP and Usenet (1991), at 100-101 (RACK-1012). I had access to Usenet as a
`
`graduate student at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, while I was working
`
`in the industry at IBM, and as a faculty member at Texas A&M University. When
`
`I obtained the Langer Reference from Google Groups, I noticed that people read
`
`and commented on Langer’s article in 1991.
`
`15.
`
`Each newsgroup in Usenet was devoted to a specific topic. Thus, the
`
`readership of each newsgroup generally consisted of individuals with a specific
`
`interest in that topic. In addition, an article could be posted to multiple
`
`newsgroups, thus multiplying its readership. For example, the Langer Reference
`
`7
`
`RACK-1008
`Page 7 of 34
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`was posted to two newsgroups: “alt.sources.d,” which hosted technical discussions
`
`about source code posted to the “alt.sources” newsgroup, and
`
`“comp.archives.admin,” which focused on technical issues relating to the
`
`administration of computer archives.
`
`16. During the 1991–1992 time frame, total Usenet readership already
`
`numbered in the millions. For example, a contemporaneous article provides an
`
`estimate of about 1.7 million “netreaders” in August 1991. B. Reid, “USENET
`
`READERSHIP SUMMARY REPORT FOR AUG 91” (Sept. 1, 1991) (the “Reid
`
`Summary,” RACK-1009). The readership for the “alt.sources.d” and
`
`“comp.archives.admin” newsgroups was also large, numbering 37,000 users and
`
`27,000 users, respectively. B. Reid, “USENET Readership report for Aug 91”
`
`(Sept. 1, 1991) (the “Reid Report,” RACK-1010). These figures are consistent
`
`with my personal recollection of the facts at the time. Note that, by default, the
`
`Langer Reference was propagated to the entire Usenet network since it does not
`
`include any of the indicia (e.g., a “Distribution:” field) that would specify that the
`
`intended recipients were limited to a specific geographical area or set of nodes.
`
`Whether to accept or retain articles from any particular newsgroup was a policy
`
`that was settable on a per-node and per newsgroup basis. However, the vast
`
`majority of Usenet sites accepted articles from any newsgroup with a name
`
`8
`
`RACK-1008
`Page 8 of 34
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`beginning with “comp.”, as these were considered to be valuable resources of
`
`information. Also, the program that generated the statistics used to produce the
`
`above-mentioned readership reports actually examined each user’s records of
`
`which groups and articles had been read, so the readership statistics of each
`
`newsgroup reflect both node policy and actual readership. Each Usenet article was
`
`thus publicly available to a large audience of persons interested in the subject
`
`matter. Specifically, it is my assessment that the Langer Reference was delivered
`
`to at least tens of thousands of users who had a specific technical interest in the
`
`administration of computer archives, based on the estimate from the Reid Report.
`
`See RACK-1010. Also, the Reid Summary provides a small sample of the Usenet
`
`nodes during that time frame, indicating the geographic, academic, and industry
`
`reach of Usenet at that time. See RACK-1009.
`
`17.
`
`The intended audience received each of the Usenet articles within at
`
`most a day or two from the date on which it was posted. Since Usenet articles
`
`were small plain-text files, propagation to the entire Usenet network was rather
`
`fast, despite the low network speeds of the time. In fact, according to a
`
`contemporaneous source, more than 90% of all messages reached 90% of all nodes
`
`for which they were intended within one day. J.S. Quarterman, The Matrix (1990),
`
`at 237 (RACK-1011). This is consistent with my personal recollection of the facts
`
`9
`
`RACK-1008
`Page 9 of 34
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 6,415,280
`Declaration of Dr. Reddy
`
`at the time. Consequently, Usenet articles in general, and the Langer Reference in
`
`particular, were automatically pushed and distributed to a set of users who had
`
`registered interest in the relevant topics (e.g., administration of computer archives).
`
`18.
`
`Each of the individuals who received one of the Usenet articles had
`
`the opportunity to read it on their computer screen and/or save it to disk for future
`
`reference. That functionality was available through standard programs such as
`
`“rn” (for “read news”) with which I was familiar during the 1991–1992 time
`
`frame. See RACK-1012, at 116–21. A system administrator could archive entire
`
`newsgroups similar to a user saving an article, and it is my understanding that the
`
`copies of the Langer Reference in existence today are the result of such archival.
`
`III. Conclusion
`
`19.
`
`In signing this declaration, I recognize that the declaration will be
`
`filed as evidence in a contested case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office. I also recognize that I may be
`
`subject to cross examination in the case and that cross examination will take place
`
`within the United States. If cross examination is required of me, I will appear for
`
`cross examination within the United States during the time allotted for cross
`
`examination.
