`
`
`1. Introduction
`
`
`
`The Board, after fully considering Cohen and the parties’ arguments, found
`
`it necessary to address only the “chain of stores” use restriction in the Final Written
`
`Decisions (FWDs). The Board found the “chain of stores” use restriction satisfied
`
`the claims based upon a claim construction that allowed identifying a chain store
`
`when the transaction code is requested. On appeal, the Federal Circuit found this
`
`claim construction, which allows for merchant pre-identification, was
`
`unreasonable. D’Agostino v. MasterCard Int’l Inc., 844 F.3d 945, 950 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2016). The claim construction was unreasonable because it impermissibly
`
`separated the connection between the “single merchant” and the “particular
`
`merchant,” thereby allowing the claim to be incorrectly satisfied by use restrictions
`
`that include merchant pre-identification. Id.
`
`
`
` The Court’s reasoning in rejecting the claim construction of the “single
`
`merchant limitation” requires the Board to now revise the claim construction of the
`
`“one or more merchants limitation.” Under the correct claim construction, the
`
`“chain of stores” use restriction cannot satisfy the “one or more merchants
`
`limitation” because identifying the chain store when requesting the transaction
`
`code does not withhold the identity of the particular merchant.

`
`
`
`
`Petitioner offers no argument supporting the “chain of stores” or similar use
`
`restrictions (i.e., types of stores or types of charges) satisfying the “one or more
`
`merchants limitation” under the correct claim construction. The reason for this is
`
`quite simple, Petitioner’s original arguments are based upon a flawed claim
`
`construction that incorrectly separates the “particular merchant” from the “one or
`
`more merchants.” Indeed, Petitioner urges the Board to leave the original claim
`
`construction of the “one or more merchants limitation” intact because without this
`
`claim construction none of Cohen’s use restrictions meet the claim requirements.
`
`
`
`Under the correct claim construction, Petitioner’s original arguments, which
`
`stand entirely upon that impermissible separation, simply fall short of meeting
`
`Petitioner’s burden. And the Board cannot jump in and bail Petitioner out by
`
`supplanting Petitioner’s arguments with its own. In re Magnum Oil Tools Int’l,
`
`Ltd., 829 F.3d 1364, 1380-81 (Fed. Cir. 2016).
`
`
`
`For the reasons that follow, under the Federal Circuit’s decision, Cohen does
`
`not anticipate any of the independent claims of U.S. Patent Number 8,036,988
`
`(“the ‘988 Patent”) and U.S. Patent Number 7,840,486 (“the ‘486 Patent”).
`
`Accordingly, the Board is requested to issue new Final Written Decisions that
`
`confirm the patentability of the ‘988 Patent and the ‘486 Patent.

`
`
`2. Argument
`
`A. The Single Merchant Claims are not anticipated by Cohen under the
`Federal Circuit’s Claim Construction.
`
`
`
`
`Cohen does not anticipate claims 21, 23-25 and 27-30 of the ‘988 Patent nor
`
`claims 1-15 and 22-30 of the ‘486 Patent (“the Single Merchant Claims”).
`
`
`
`On appeal, the Court identified claim 21, step (b) of the ‘988 Patent as
`
`representative of the “single merchant limitation,” which recites: “receiving a
`
`request from said account holder for a transaction code to make a purchase within a
`
`payment category that at least limits transactions to a single merchant, said single
`
`merchant limitation being included in said payment category prior to any particular
`
`merchant being identified as said single merchant.” D’Agostino, 844 F.3d at 948.
`
`
`
`The Court explained the claim requires a separation in time between limiting
`
`the number of authorized merchants and identifying an authorized merchant:
`
`The single-merchant limitation clearly requires a separation in time
`
`between the communication of one piece of information and the
`
`communication of another. The authorizing entity, in being asked for a
`
`transaction code, is told that the number of merchants to be covered by
`
`that code is one (no more, no less): a “payment category that at least
`
`limits transactions to a single merchant” is communicated to the
`
`authorizing entity. Critically, though, the “single merchant” must not
`
`be identified to the authorizing entity at that time: “said single merchant
`
`limitation being included in said payment category prior to any
`
`particular merchant being identified as said single merchant.” Only
`
`3
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`later is the “particular merchant” identified, and the “particular
`
`merchant” is identified “as said single merchant.”
`
`Id. at 949.
`
`
`The Court then construed the “single merchant limitation” as follows:
`
`The single-merchant limitation thus requires, simply, that when the
`
`transaction code is requested, the request limits the number of
`
`authorized merchants to one but does not identify the merchant, such
`
`identification occurring only later.
`
`Id. at 950.
`
`
`
`
`The Court explained the claim does not allow separating the connection
`
`between the “single merchant” and the “particular merchant”: “But, as we have
`
`discussed, the claim language of the single-merchant limitation does not allow that
`
`separation. Indeed, the second clause speaks expressly of ‘any particular merchant
`
`being identified as said single merchant.’” Id. (emphasis original).
`
`
`
`The Court turned to the prosecution history to reinforce the understanding
`
`that the “single merchant limitation” is a numerical limit on the number of
`
`authorized merchants, not an identity limitation: “The prosecution history
`
`reinforces the evident meaning of the single-merchant limitation as requiring
`
`limiting, to one, the number of merchants that may use the transaction code,
`
`without identifying the merchant.” Id. at 949.
`
`4
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`
`
`The Court also turned to the reexamination of the ‘988 Patent to reinforce
`
`the understanding that the “single merchant limitation” is a numerical limit on the
`
`number of authorized merchants, not an identity limitation:
`
`[L]imiting to a particular store or chain of stores is not the same as
`
`limiting to a single merchant. A particular store or chain of stores
`
`limitation is an identity limitation whereas a single merchant limitation
`
`is a numerical limitation. That is, the only way a particular store or chain
`
`or stores limitation can be made is by identifying that store or chain of
`
`stores from other stores or chain of stores. Conversely, a single merchant
`
`limitation is not related to the particular identity of any store or chain of
`
`stores, rather it is a numerical limitation that limits use to only one
`
`merchant. Stated differently, a particular store or chain of stores
`
`limitation is limited to only the identified store or chain of stores,
`
`whereas a single merchant limitation is not limited by way of identity.
`
`Id. (quoting the ‘988 Patent reexamination).
`
`
`
`Then, under the Court’s construction, the Court found that Cohen’s
`
`“chain of stores” use restriction does not satisfy the “single merchant limitation.”
`
`Id. at 950. The Court instructs the “chain of stores” use restriction does not satisfy
`
`the claim requirement because the use restriction includes pre-identification of a
`
`merchant, which falls outside the scope of the claim. Id. In other words, a use
`
`restriction that pre-identifies a merchant either singularly or as a group of
`
`merchants does not meet the claims. Id. Accordingly, the Board having already
`
`fully considered Cohen’s other use restrictions, all that remains on remand is for
`
`5
`
`
`

`

`the Board is to issue new FWDs that confirm the patentability of the Single
`
`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`Merchant Claims.
`
`
`
`Even though the Board has already considered Cohen’s other use restrictions
`
`and found it necessary to address only the “chain of stores” restriction, Petitioner,
`
`on remand, asserts that Cohen’s “single-use” card and Cohen’s type of stores/type
`
`of charge use restriction meets the Single Merchant Claims. But neither of these
`
`use restrictions meet the Single Merchant Claims, as Patent Owner has already
`
`successfully argued in these proceedings. The following discussion reiterates why
`
`neither of these use restrictions anticipate the Single Merchant Claims.
`
`(1) Cohen’s single-use credit card does not satisfy the Single Merchant Claims.
`
`
`
`Each of the Single Merchant Claims include making more than one
`
`transaction/purchase. Claim 21, step (b) of the ‘988 Patent is representative and
`
`expressly includes making multiple transactions using the transaction code:
`
`“receiving a request from said account holder for a transaction code to make a
`
`purchase within the payment category that at least limits transactions to a single
`
`merchant.” (emphasis added). Transactions being plural, not singular.
`
`
`
`
`
`Independent claims 1, 24, 25, and 29 of the ‘486 Patent also include making
`
`more than one purchase/transaction: “limiting purchases to a single merchant”
`
`(‘486 Patent, Claim 1); “payment categories which limit a nature of subsequent
`
`purchases” and “limiting purchases to a single merchant” (‘486 Patent, Claim 24);
`
`6
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`“limits a nature, of a series of subsequent purchases” (‘486 Patent, Claim 25); and
`
`“limits a nature of a subsequent purchase” (‘486 Patent, Claim 29). Each of these
`
`claim recitations expressly include making more than one purchase with the
`
`transaction code.
`
`
`
`But Cohen’s single-use card can only be used once as explained by
`
`Petitioner’s expert: “Each of these single use cards has unique card number that is
`
`different from the master credit card account number. That way, if the card number
`
`and accompanying info is subsequently stolen, that card number cannot be used for
`
`a second purchase.” Grimes Dec., IPR2014-00543, Ex. 1008, ¶ 13.
`
`
`
` Accordingly, since Cohen’s single-use card can only be used once, it does
`
`not satisfy the Single Merchant Claims, which allow for multiple
`
`transactions/purchases. These arguments were previously made by Patent Owner.
`
`See IPR2014-00543, Paper 16, at 24-25; IPR2014-00544, Paper 11, at 19-20.
`
`(2) Patent Owner did not waive the argument that Cohen’s single-use card does
`not satisfy the Single Merchant Claims.
`
`
`
`
`Contrary to Petitioner’s argument, there is no waiver because Cohen’s
`
`single-use card was not used to invalidate any claim and, thus, was not within the
`
`scope of the FWDs. See Designing Health, Inc. v. Collett, 236 F.3d 1342, 1348
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2001) (stating since “the trial court had not addressed the contested issue
`
`and, therefore, the issue was not deemed within the scope of the judgment initially
`
`appealed”).
`
`7
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`
`
`Second, even if Cohen’s single-use card was within the scope of the FWDs
`
`(which it was not), Patent Owner’s argument is not waived because the Court
`
`remanded to the Board for further consideration not inconsistent with the Court’s
`
`decision. See Engel Industries, Inc. v. The Lockformer Co., 166 F.3d 1379, 1383
`
`(Fed. Cir. 1999) (“Unless remanded by this court, all issues within the scope of the
`
`appealed judgment are deemed incorporated within the mandate and thus are
`
`precluded from further adjudication.” (emphasis added)).
`
`
`
`Finally, even though there was no requirement on appeal for Patent Owner
`
`to raise his argument that Cohen’s single-use card does not satisfy the Single
`
`Merchant Claims, this argument was in fact raised by Patent Owner on appeal. See
`
`Ex. 2011 at 228-229, fn. 4.
`
`(3) The Single Merchant Claims are not anticipated by Cohen’s merchant type,
`types of stores, types of charges, nor a certain store use restrictions.
`
`
`
`
`Cohen’s merchant type, types of charges, and types of stores (i.e., clothing
`
`stores or any computer store) use restrictions do not anticipate the Single Merchant
`
`Claims for two independent reasons. First, these restrictions, by their nature, do not
`
`limit use to a single merchant. See Gussin Dec., IPR2014-00543, Ex. 2007, ¶34,
`
`IPR2014-00544, Ex. 2007, ¶38. They are merely a restriction on the type of
`
`goods/services that the credit card can be used to purchase. Id. A card having these
`
`use restrictions can be used to make purchases from more than one merchant so
`
`long as the purchases do not violate the predefined merchant type, type of charge,
`
`8
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`or type of store (i.e., “any computer store”). Thus, because these types of use
`
`restrictions do not restrict use to only one merchant, as required by the claims, they
`
`do not anticipate the Single Merchant Claims.
`
`
`
`Second, merchant type, types of charges, and types of stores use restrictions
`
`do not meet the Single Merchant Claims because they are identity restrictions (i.e.,
`
`each pre-identifies a group of merchants). See Gussin Dec., IPR2014-00543, Ex.
`
`2007, ¶34-37, IPR2014-00544, Ex. 2007, ¶27-30. For example, restricting use to
`
`“any computer store” pre-identifies a group of merchants that are identified as
`
`computer stores. These types of restrictions were distinguished during prosecution
`
`because the Single Merchant Claims function as a numerical limit on the number
`
`of authorized merchants. D’Agostino, 844 F.3d at 949 (“The prosecution history
`
`reinforces the evident meaning of the single-merchant limitation as requiring
`
`limiting, to one, the number of merchants that may use the transaction code,
`
`without identifying the merchant.”).
`
`
`
`The Court further emphasized the prosecution history distinguished the
`
`claims from use restrictions including merchant pre-identification:
`
`[C]omparing merchant information transmitted in an authorization
`
`request against vendor data stored in an approved vendor list and
`
`determining if a particular vendor is on an approved vendor list does
`
`not teach a single merchant limitation being included in a payment
`
`9
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`category prior to any particular merchant being identified as said
`
`single merchant.
`
`Id.
`
`
`
`Consistent with the Court’s decision, merchant type, types of charges, and
`
`types of stores use restrictions necessarily include comparing merchant information
`
`transmitted with an authorization request against vendor data (i.e., merchant
`
`category codes) to determine whether the purchase is authorized (i.e., to determine
`
`if the vendor is a computer store).
`
`
`
`Finally, Cohen’s certain store use restriction requires identifying the certain
`
`store at the time of requesting the transaction code, which does not withhold the
`
`identity of the particular merchant and, thus, does not meet the claim requirement.
`
`
`
`Thus, since merchant type, types of charges, and types of stores use
`
`restrictions function by way of identification, and not as a numerical limit on the
`
`number of authorized merchants, as required by the claims, these use restrictions
`
`do not anticipate the Single Merchant Claims. These arguments were previously
`
`made in Patent Owner’s Response. See IPR2014-00543, Paper 16 at 23-30;
`
`IPR2014-00544, Paper 11 at 18-24.
`
`
`
`
`
`10
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`B. The One or More Merchant Claims are not anticipated by Cohen.
`
`(1) The Court’s decision requires correcting the claim construction of the “one
`or more merchants limitation.”
`
`
`
`
`On remand, the claim construction of the “one or more merchants
`
`limitation” must be revised to be consistent with the Court’s decision. Claim 1,
`
`step (c) of the ‘988 Patent is representative of the “one or more merchants
`
`limitation,” which recites: “defining at least one payment category to include at
`
`least limiting a number of transactions to one or more merchants, said one or more
`
`merchants limitation being included in said payment category prior to any
`
`particular merchant being identified as one of said one or more merchants.”
`
`(emphasis added). IPR2014-00543, Ex. 1001, 8:65-9:3.
`
`
`
`The current construction of the “one or more merchants limitation” is
`
`inconsistent with the Court’s decision and requires correcting because it has the
`
`same problem the Court identified with the “single merchant limitation”
`
`construction. Particularly, the current construction is unreasonable because it
`
`allows for merchant pre-identification by incorrectly disconnecting the “particular
`
`merchant” from the “one or more merchants.” See D’Agostino, 844 F.3d at 950.
`
`Similar to the “single merchant limitation,” the second clause of the “one or more
`
`merchants limitation” expressly requires “any particular merchant being identified
`
`as one of said one or more merchants.” IPR2014-00543, Ex. 1001, 9:1-3.
`
`11
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, consistent with the Court’s decision, the “one or more
`
`merchants limitation” should be construed to require: when the transaction code is
`
`requested, the requests limits the number of authorized merchants to one or more
`
`merchants but does not then identify any of the one or more merchants, such
`
`identification occurring only later. And the one or more merchants meaning one
`
`merchant up to a plurality of merchants, where the number of merchants is a finite
`
`number. See IPR2014-00543, Paper 8, Decision at 8.
`
`
`
`Under this correct claim construction, none of Cohen’s use restrictions
`
`anticipate claims 1-10, 15-20, 22, 31-33, and 35-38 of the ‘988 Patent (“One or
`
`More Merchant Claims”).
`
`(2) The One or More Merchants Claims are not anticipated by Cohen’s “chain
`of stores” use restriction.
`
`Under the correct claim construction, Cohen’s “chain of stores” use
`
`
`
`
`restriction does not meet the requirements of the claim. Specifically, creating a
`
`card with a use restriction to a particular “chain of stores” requires communicating
`
`to the authorizing entity the name of the chain of stores. See Gussin Dec.,
`
`IPR2014-00543, Ex. 2007, ¶ 52; IPR2014-00543, Paper 16 at 38. But telling an
`
`authorizing entity to limit transactions to that particular chain of stores (e.g.,
`
`Target) is not withholding the identity of the particular merchant and, thus, is
`
`“outside the second clause of the claim limitation.” D’Agostino, 844 F.3d at 950.
`
`12
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, since the “chain of stores” use restriction does not meet the
`
`claim requirement and, the Board having already fully considered Cohen’s other
`
`use restrictions, all that remains on remand is for the Board to issue new FWDs
`
`that confirm the patentability of the One or More Merchant Claims.
`
`
`
`Yet, on remand, even though the Board has already considered Cohen’s
`
`other use restrictions, Petitioner continues to assert that Cohen’s “type of stores”
`
`and “group of stores” use restrictions satisfy the One or More Merchants Claims.
`
`But Petitioner’s arguments are based upon an unreasonable claim construction that
`
`has been rejected by the Federal Circuit. And Petitioner offers no justification for
`
`finding the One or More Merchant Claims unpatentable under the correct claim
`
`construction.
`
`(3) The One or More Merchants Claims are not anticipated by Cohen’s “group
`of stores” nor “types of stores” use restrictions.
`
`
`
`
`Initially, as discussed above, with respect to the Single Merchant Claims,
`
`these types of use restrictions are not restrictions on the number of authorized
`
`merchants as required by the claims. Rather these are identity restrictions that
`
`include merchant pre-identification. And use restrictions that include merchant pre-
`
`identification do not meet the requirement of the claims. See §2A(3), supra; See
`
`D’Agostino, 844 F.3d at 949.
`
`
`
`Indeed, it simply is not possible to create a use restriction to a group of
`
`stores without identifying the stores that form the group. IPR2014-00543, Ex.
`
`13
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`2007, ¶ 53. And limiting a credit card’s use to a group of stores requires that group
`
`to already exist, otherwise it could not be identified so that the authorizing entity
`
`can create the limit and restrict purchases to that group. Id.
`
`
`
`Next, Cohen’s “types of stores” use restriction does not satisfy the “one or
`
`more merchants limitation” for at least two reasons. First, a “types of stores” use
`
`restrictions necessarily includes comparing merchant information transmitted with
`
`an authorization request against vendor data to determine whether the purchase is
`
`authorized (i.e., to determine if the vendor is a computer store). Since this use
`
`restriction functions by way of identification, and not as a numerical limit on the
`
`number of authorized merchants, as required by the claims, it does not meet the
`
`claim requirements. See §2A(3), supra; See D’Agostino, 844 F.3d at 949.
`
`
`
`Second, restricting use to types of stores (i.e., clothing stores or computer
`
`hardware and software stores) does not meet the claim requirements because such
`
`a restriction is not a reasonable limit on the number of authorized merchants within
`
`the meaning of “one or more merchants.” IPR2014-00543, Ex. 2007, ¶ 51.
`
`Specifically, “one or more merchants” means “one merchant up to a plurality of
`
`merchants, where the number of merchants is a finite number.” IPR2014-00543,
`
`Paper 8, Decision at 8. And the steps of the claims imply that the finite number
`
`must be a reasonable number of merchants to perform a purchase and authorize
`
`payment. Ex. 1014, CBM2013-00057, Paper 9 at 8-9 (PTAB March 7, 2014)
`
`14
`
`
`

`

`IPR2014-00543, IPR2014-00544
`
`
`(stating: “[The claim] steps imply a reasonable, finite number of merchants to
`
`authorize payment and perform a purchase”).
`
`
`
`A restriction to every possible clothing store that might exist in the entire
`
`world is not a reasonable, finite number of merchants to authorize payment and
`
`perform a purchase. Ex. 2007, at ¶ 51. Therefore, Cohen’s “type of store” or any
`
`equivalent use restriction (i.e., “type of charge” and “type of merchant”) does not
`
`satisfy the claim requirements. These arguments were previously made in Patent
`
`Owner’s Response. See IPR2014-00543, Paper 16 at 35,36, 38, and 39.
`
`3. Conclusion
`
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons, under the Federal Circuit’s decision, Cohen does
`
`not anticipate claims 1-10, 15-25, 27-33, and 35-38 of the ‘988 Patent and claims
`
`1-15 and 22-30 of the ‘486 Patent. Musmanno does not cure the problems of
`
`Cohen and, thus, claims 11-14, 26, and 34 of the ‘988 Patent and claims 16-21 of
`
`the ‘486 Patent remain patentable. The Board is requested to issue new Final
`
`Written Decisions that find all claims of the ‘988 Patent and the ‘486 Patent
`
`patentable.
