`
` This is Judge Jennifer Bisk, I have
`
` the board on the line with me. Can
`
` I have a roll call of who is
`
` present.
`
` MR. ADAMO: Yes, your Honor,
`
` this is Ken Adamo from Kirkland and
`
` Ellis. I'm lead counsel. My
`
` partner, Ms. Alicia Shah and one of
`
` our other colleagues Eugene
`
` Goryunov are also on the line this
`
` afternoon.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Thank you. And
`
` for patent owner.
`
` MR. BABCOCK: Good afternoon,
`
` your Honor, Brent Babcock for the
`
` patent owner, and with me is my
`
` colleague, attorney Scott Raevsky,
`
` spelled R-A-E-V-S-K-Y.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Thank you. This
`
` is a call for IPR-2014-00660 and I
`
` believe petitioner requested the
`
` conference, so why don't you go
`
` ahead, petitioner, and let us know

`
` We just request that when you
`
` get the transcript you upload it as
`
` an exhibit and it can be in the
`
` 3,000's so that it doesn't take
`
` away any of your slots.
`
` MR. ADAMO: Yes, your Honor,
`
` we will do that. Ms. Shah will be
`
` presenting for petitioner this
`
` afternoon, your Honor.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Ms. Shah, any
`
` time you're ready.
`
` MS. SHAH: The patent holder's
`
` preliminary response pointed out an
`
` inadvertent mistake in our
`
` petition. I know that 42.104 B
`
` doesn't require claim charts but we
`
` included them and missed a
`
` limitation for one of the grounds
`
` in one of the claims in our claim
`
` chart. And if you have the
`
` petition in front of you, it's
`
` claim 30, element A.A 1 on page 20
`
` of the petition. You'll see the

`
` petition skipped from element A to
`
` A 2 directly and it's missing from
`
` the chart.
`
` We request a motion to correct
`
` that and we would like to argue
`
` first that it was inadvertent which
`
` is one of the requirements under
`
` 42.104 C. Also, we believe that
`
` this correction will not prejudice
`
` the patent holder. It doesn't
`
` involve adding any new material to
`
` the petition.
`
` And to explain that, element
`
` 18.b, which is on page 11 of the
`
` petition, talks about the idea of
`
` certifying a data structure and a
`
` certificate signature reply.
`
` And this element is the same
`
` process that's described in 31,
`
` element 30.a.a1, and to make that
`
` clear, the petition actually makes
`
` that clear.
`
` Please let me know if I'm
`
` going too fast.

` PROCEEDINGS
`
` JUDGE BISK: All right. No, I
`
` don't think so. But let's hear
`
` from patent owner. I assume you
`
` oppose this?
`
` MR. BABCOCK: Yes, your Honor,
`
` this is Brent Babcock. As a
`
` preface, we don't normally oppose
`
` every type of correction that's
`
` requested. In fact, in this case
`
` there was a typographical or
`
` clerical error in the original
`
` petition in which the petitioner
`
` had misidentified a reference. And
`
` we looked at it and believe that it
`
` was clear on its face that it
`
` complied with, with the rules as a
`
` clerical or typographical error and
`
` so we did not oppose that
`
` particular request so a corrected
`
` petition was filed.
`
` But in this particular case we
`
` did take some time to look at it
`
` and it's in our view, while it may
`
` be inadvertent, we have no basis to
`
`15:04:18

`
` PROCEEDINGS
`
` know, it's certainly not in our
`
` view a clerical or typographical
`
` error.
`
` The petition as Ms. Shah
`
` points out on page 20 is entirely
`
` missing an element. But if you go
`
` to pages 38 and page 56 of the
`
` petition where the same claim is
`
` addressed with respect to other
`
` prior art references, 30.a.a1 is
`
` explicitly addressed. And so there
`
` are two claim charts in which the
`
` petitioner had no problem with
`
` respect to the PKI prior art
`
` reference and also the RFC 1424
`
` reference. The petitioner
`
` identified that and explained the
`
` relevance with respect to those
`
` references.
`
` So the petition itself it
`
` appears to us to be missing and
`
` it's a substantive error; it's not
`
` a procedural or typographical
`
` error.

`
` We also went to look at the
`
` Blaze declaration in which there
`
` aren't, there aren't claim charts
`
` per se but Dr. Blaze does address
`
` all the limitations in separate
`
` paragraphs.
`
` And on -- in his declaration
`
` on page 25 he addresses claim 30.
`
` He identifies in the claim
`
` recitation this particular
`
` limitation. But then when he goes
`
` through and goes through his
`
` analysis of the claims, if you look
`
` at pages 75 to 77, he completely
`
` omits any discussion of this
`
` particular limitation in his
`
` recitation.
`
` But then with respect to the
`
` other two prior art references, the
`
` PKI report on pages 136 to 139, he
`
` does address that limitation and
`
` with respect to the RFC 1424 report
`
` again he addresses that limitation.
`
` So it may be an omission, it

`
` may be inadvertent; it's not
`
` clerical or typographical. And it
`
` is not the same as the limitation
`
` set forth in claim 18.b. this
`
` limitation begins with the word
`
` receiving. That word is nowhere in
`
` claim 18.b in that limitation. In
`
` fact, what is sent or what is
`
` transferred may or may not be what
`
` is being received.
`
` It's not incumbent upon the
`
` patent owner in this particular
`
` case to try to figure out what the
`
` arguments are or arguments that
`
` should have been made in the
`
` petition and try to search
`
` throughout the petition to see what
`
` we could put in place of what the
`
` argument should have been.
`
` If there was an identical
`
` limitation maybe that's something
`
` that we would say, well, we
`

`
` oversight. But again, it's
`
` completely missing.
`
` So in our view, your Honor,
`
` this does not satisfy the
`
` requirements for an inadvertent or
`
` clerical -- excuse me, a clerical
`
` or typographical mistake.
`
` Inadvertent is not in the rule.
`
` And in that case our request,
`
` your Honor, is deny the request to
`
` correct the petition and let the
`
` petition proceed as it was filed as
`
` already corrected.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Okay. Ms. Shah,
`
` do you want to reply?
`
` MS. SHAH: I do. I'll speak
`
` first to the omission in the Blaze
`
` declaration and the claim chart.
`
` I think it's prudent the way
`
` we created our petition, which is
`
` we first talked to our expert and
`
` worked on hammering out whether the
`
` prior art shows the claim elements,

`
` and then we took that information
`
` and put it into the petition. So
`
` when the element was missing in the
`
` declaration, which I can't entirely
`
` be sure but I think may be due to
`
` document corruption, these things
`
` get long and they have pictures,
`
` but when it was missing from there
`
` and got transferred into the claim
`
` chart, I think that's how the error
`
` carried over. It's absolutely a
`
` typographical clerical-type error
`
` even though it's missing in both.
`
` And I do want to speak to the
`
` substance because I believe the
`
` patent owner is wrong. Claim 31
`
` talks about a method of -- 30, I
`
` apologize, talks about a method of
`
` updating certificates. And if you
`
` look at page 9 of the petition, we
`
` speak to what claim 30 does with
`
` reference to the other claims. It
`
` says relative to claim 30, which is
`
` the prior art reference, discloses

` the claim method of updating a

`
` So Kapidzic teaches that when
`
` a new key pair is generated by some
`
` CA, certificate authority, the same
`
` procedure is followed as the
`
` original certification as recited
`
` in claim 30.
`
` So what we say here for claim
`
` 30 follow the same procedure as the
`
` original certification.
`
` The original certification --
`
` JUDGE BISK: Can I interrupt
`
` you for a second. I just want to
`
` say if I'm recalling it correctly,
`
` you're saying that in the text of
`
` the petition you discuss this
`
` limitation for claim 30 and it's
`
` missing in the claim chart? Or are
`
` you still talking about 18.b?
`
` MS. SHAH: No, I do want to be
`
` accurate. We talk about claim 30
`
` generally in the petition. What we
`
` say is that when you're updating a

`
` certificate, follow the same
`
` procedure as you followed in the
`
` original certification. And claim
`
` 18 is that original certification.
`
` And if you look at the text of the
`
` petition on claim 8, it says
`
` relative to claim 18, it discloses
`
` the method of requesting and
`
` issuing the certificate.
`
` So that's the original
`
` certification, is claim 18. You're
`
` using the same method. And patent
`
` holder is right that claim 18 talks
`
` about sending a certificate and
`
` claim 31 talks about receiving the
`
` same signed certificate. But I
`
` think it's obvious that when a
`
` certificate gets sent, it also gets
`
` received. And in fact the text
`
` that we would seek to add is the
`
` text in the claim 18 box on page 11
`
` of the petition. In fact, if you
`
` look at the other two claim charts,

`
` We would do the same thing
`

`
` I also want to speak to the
`
` prejudice point. The patent
`
` holder, I know that prejudice to
`
` the patent holder is something that
`
` the board considers when it is
`
` considering a motion to correct and
`
` here patent holder shouldn't be
`
` prejudiced because they elected not
`
` to comment on the substance of
`
` petitioner's alleged ground for
`
` rejection. Footnote 1 of the
`
` patent owner's response is explicit
`
` that they elected not to comment on
`
` the substance. So there should be
`
` no, no prejudice to them.

`
` our pages in our original petition,
`
` so we also won't be going over the
`

`
` copy this material from claim 18 so
`
` it's obvious in claim 31, I think
`
` it is already obvious in the
`
` petition. But it would be nice if
`
` the claim chart spelled it out
`
` explicitly so you're not going from

`
` MR. BABCOCK: Yes, your Honor.
`
` Just quickly on three points that
`
` Ms. Shah raised.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Yes.
`
` MR. BABCOCK: I think her
`
` discussion highlights the fact that
`
` it is substantive. The claim
`
` language is clearly different. The
`
` returning language versus
`
` receiving. If I return something
`
` it doesn't mean that you receive
`
` it. The address could be
`
` different. So it requires some
`
` substantive analysis by the board
`
` to figure out what could have been
`
` meant and requires some analysis by
`
` us which we're not prepared to do
`
` for the petitioner. So I think that
`
` demonstrates it's not clerical or
`
` typographical.
`
` Secondly, with regards to
`
` prejudice, we did argue, your
`
` Honor, that this claim ought to
`
` be -- that the trial not be
`
`15:13:15

`
` instituted on this claim based on
`
` the fact they didn't address every
`
` limitation in the claim.
`
` So I think that's a legitimate
`
` basis for the board to deny
`
` institution on claim 30 based upon
`
` the fact that the petitioners have
`
` not met its burden of proof going
`
` element by element showing that
`
` every element is satisfied by the
`
` prior art. If there's a missing
`
` element you fail to meet your
`
` burden.
`
` And lastly I do think with
`
` regard to the pages, I think the
`
` corrected petition was that page,
`
` at page 60, so I think they are
`
` after the limit. Maybe they can
`
` squeeze another couple of lines in,
`
` but they are pretty much at their
`
` limit.
`
` So again we would suggest that
`
` this is one of the situations where
`
` maybe it's unfortunate and we do

`
` But we represent a client and we're
`
` not prepared to suggest the board
`
` should violate its rules in order
`

`
` We're also concerned about the
`
` kind of precedent this would set
`
` where petitioners make mistakes in
`
` their petition, substantive
`
` mistakes, where they miss this
`
` thing, where they forget to cite
`
` things and make substantive errors.
`
` We pointed out in our patent
`
` holders preliminary response, our
`
` POPR, and then the petitioner goes,
`
` oops, I made a mistake, I forgot to
`
` cite a reference, I left out this
`
` element, I didn't do something I
`
` should have done, it's inadvertent,
`
` my bad, can I fix it. And the

` PROCEEDINGS
`
` MR. BABCOCK: Yes, your Honor.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Okay, great. So
`
` the panel has discussed and we have
`
` decided not to authorize a motion
`
` to correct the petition for a few
`
` reasons, one of which is that the
`
` patent owner has already filed
`
` their preliminary response and
`
` there's not a lot of time left and
`
` we feel that if we did allow such a
`
` correction, the patent owner would
`
` have to be able to respond.
`
` And that brings us to the
`
` second point which is I believe
`
` this sounds fairly substantive. We
`
` found before that the failure to
`
` point out where each element was
`
` found in prior art is a deficiency
`
` in the substantive requirements in
`
` the petition. And I think if it's
`
` in there somewhere else then it's
`
` not a problem that needs to be
`
` necessarily corrected. So it's
`
` either substantive or not
`

`
` necessary.
`
` And the third reason is that I
`
` believe in this case we've already
`
` had two corrected petitions. So it
`
` seems there have been plenty of
`
` chances to fix the problems in the
`
` petition. We just think a third
`
` time is too many.
`
` MS. SHAH: Your Honor, if I
`
` may.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Yes, go ahead.
`
` MS. SHAH: I would hope the
`
` board would nevertheless consider
`
` the petition in its entirety. The
`
` rules don't actually require claim
`
` charts.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Of course.
`
` MS. SHAH: There's no doubt
`
` that element 18.b -- the element
`
` that's missing just says signing a
`
` certificate and sending it back and
`
` the quotes in element 18.b say
`
` exactly the signing of a
`
` certificate --

`
` JUDGE BISK: I'm sorry, I'd
`
` rather not hear any more arguments
`
` on the merits. We will look at the
`
` petition as a whole and decide it
`
` whether, you know, everything has
`
` been met based on what's in the
`
` petition.
`
` Unless there's any other
`
` issues, I think we can adjourn.
`
` MR. ADAMO: For petitioner
`
` none, your Honor, except I would
`
` note that we will be guided by this
`
` set of circumstances with respect
`
` to IPR to try to change any system
`
` errors we may be having here to
`
` make sure that I don't have to
`
` bother with you a phone call like
`
` this again.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Okay.
`
` MR. BABCOCK: And no other
`
` issues for the patent owner, your
`
` Honor. We appreciate your time.
`
` JUDGE BISK: Thanks, everyone,
`
` we're adjourned.
