`
`LG Electronics Exhibit 1030
`IPR2015-00198
`LGE, et al. v. Straight Path IP
`
`

`

`
`
`I, Darren M. Jiron, declare:
`
`1.
`
`I am a partner at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner,
`
`LLP. I primarily work from Finnegan’s Reston, VA Office.
`
`2.
`
`I, together with backup counsel, Raj Gupta, have primary responsibility
`
`on behalf of petitioner, LG Electronics, Inc. (“LGE”), for the inter partes review
`
`styled as Trial No. IPR2015-00198 for U.S. Patent No. 6,009,469 (“the ’469
`
`patent”).
`
`3.
`
`The team responsible for finalizing and submitting the petition for
`
`IPR2015-00198 included me; Mr. Gupta; my associate, R. Benjamin Cassady; and
`
`our legal assistant, Lauren Young.
`
`4. We filed the petition for IPR2015-00198 on October 31, 2014. That
`
`same day, we filed two additional petitions for inter partes review proceedings styled
`
`as Trial Nos. IPR2015-00196 and IPR2015-00209. The additional petitions
`
`challenge patents related to the ’469 patent and rely on many of the same prior art
`
`references and exhibits as the petition for IPR2015-00198. Supporting declarations
`
`for all three petitions were submitted by Dr. Bruce M. Maggs. In all three petitions,
`
`Dr. Maggs’ Declaration is listed as Exhibit 1002.
`
`5.
`
`In preparation for filing of the three petitions and at my direction and
`
`direction from others on our team, Ms. Young collected the three Declarations of Dr.
`
`Maggs for submission as Exhibit 1002 in the respective petitions and placed them in
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`Page 2 of 46
`
`

`

`
`
`electronic folders. Ms. Young also collected all of the other exhibits for the three
`
`petitions and placed them into the electronic folders. During subsequent review, it
`
`became clear that through clerical error, Exhibit 1002 for the IPR2015-00196
`
`petition was inadvertently added into the electronic folders for both the
`
`IPR2015-00196 and IPR2015-00198 petitions. As a result, upon filing of the three
`
`petitions on October 31, 2014, the copy of Exhibit 1002 corresponding to the
`
`IPR2015-00196 petition, which had been inadvertently included in the electronic
`
`directory corresponding to the IPR2015-00198 petition, was then inadvertently
`
`submitted as an exhibit to the IPR2015-00198 petition.
`
`6.
`
`The correct Exhibit 1002 for IPR2015-00198 is attached to the
`
`concurrently filed Motion to Correct Clerical Error Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. 42.104c.
`
`7.
`
`I became aware of the inadvertently filed exhibit late in the day on
`
`November 4, 2014. Immediately thereafter, on November 5, 2014, Mr. Gupta
`
`emailed the Board requesting permission to expunge the incorrect version of Exhibit
`
`1002 from IPR2015-00198 and replace it with the correct version of Exhibit 1002.
`
`(See Appendix 1). Mr. Gupta attached to his November 5 email to the Board a copy
`
`of the correct Exhibit 1002 for IPR2015-00198. (See id.). That same day, Mr.
`
`Gupta sent an email to the Patent Owner’s litigation counsel, informing them of the
`
`inadvertently filed exhibit and serving a corrected version. (See Appendix 2). Mr.
`
`Gupta’s email also attached Petitioner’s correspondence with the Board. (See id.).
`
`
`
`- 2 -
`
`Page 3 of 46
`
`

`

`
`
`Also on November 5, Mr. Cassady sent cover letters via Federal Express to both
`
`Patent Owner’s litigation counsel and Patent Owner’s counsel of record listed on the
`
`USPTO’s PAIR website (James Berquist) for the ’469 patent enclosing hard copies
`
`of the correct Exhibit 1002 for IPR2015-00198. (See Appendices 3 & 4).
`
`8.
`
`On November 7, 2014, I called Ms. Maria Vignone of the Board to
`
`inquire as to whether the Board had received the Mr. Gupta’s November 5 email.
`
`Ms. Vignone confirmed that the Board had received the email and would respond to
`
`our request soon. She also asked whether or not the Patent Owner opposed our
`
`request to correct Exhibit 1002. (See Appendix 5).
`
`9.
`
`In response to Ms. Vignone’s inquiry, on November 7, 2014, Mr. Gupta
`
`sent an email to Patent Owner’s litigation counsel asking if Patent Owner opposed
`
`the request to correct the inadvertently filed Exhibit 1002. (See Appendix 6). Mr.
`
`Cassady sent a similar email to Mr. Berquist. (See Appendix 7).
`
`10.
`
`In response to Mr. Gupta’s November 7 email, Michael Newman,
`
`counsel for Patent Owner, responded that he would reach out to the Patent Owner
`
`and provide their positions by Monday, November 10. (See Appendix 8).
`
`11. On Monday, November 10, Mr. Newman sent another email requesting
`
`a draft of the request that Petitioner planned to file with the Board to “better inform
`
`[Patent Owner’s] decision.” (See Appendix 9). After receiving the email, Mr.
`
`Gupta called Mr. Newman and informed him that Petitioner had not prepared a
`
`
`
`- 3 -
`
`Page 4 of 46
`
`

`

`
`
`motion and were not planning to file a motion unless and until the Board authorized
`
`such a motion.
`
`12. Following the conversation between Mr. Gupta and Mr. Newman, on
`
`November 10, Mr. Newman sent an email to Mr. Gupta stating Patent Owner’s
`
`opinion that Petitioner needs to file a motion to replace the exhibit and must request
`
`permission from the Board to do so. (See Appendix 10). Mr. Newman’s email did
`
`not state whether or not Patent Owner opposed replacing the exhibit. (See id.). In
`
`response, on November 10, Mr. Gupta again requested that Patent Owner state if it
`
`intends to oppose substitution of the corrected exhibit. (See Appendix 11).
`
`13. On Tuesday, November 11, Mr. Newman responded that “the patent
`
`owner does not object to the petitioners completing the petition by filing the correct
`
`exhibit, but the patent owner contends that the petition is currently incomplete under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(3)(B), and should not be accorded a filing date until the
`
`petitioners file the correct exhibit. See 37 C.F.R § 42.106.” (See Appendix 12). Mr.
`
`Gupta immediately relayed this information to the Board by email dated November
`
`11, 2014. (See Appendix 13).
`
`14. On Wednesday, November 12, Mr. Gupta called Ms. Vignone to
`
`confirm receipt of his November 11 email to the Board. Ms. Vignone stated that she
`
`received the email and forwarded it to the PTAB panel on November 12.
`
`
`

`
`Page 5 of 46
`
`

`

`
`
`15. On November 26, 2014, the Board authorized Petitioners to file a
`
`motion to correct in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(c). (IPR2015-00198, Paper
`
`No. 6).
`
`16.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

`Ex. 1002 - '469_Updated.pdf
`
`To whom it may concern, 
`
`  
`The above‐captioned petitions, filed on Friday, October 31, relate to U.S. Patent Nos. 6,131,121 and 6,009,469, 
`respectively.  Petitioners inadvertently submitted the identical copies of Ex. 1002 (Declaration of Dr. Bruce M. Maggs) in 
`both petitions, rather than different exhibits for each Petition.  Ex. 1002 as submitted in IPR2015‐00196 (the petition for 
`U.S. Patent No. 6,131,121) is correct, but a different version of Ex. 1002 (also a Declaration of Dr. Bruce M. Maggs, but 
`addressing a different patent) should have been submitted in IPR2015‐00198 (the petition for U.S. Patent No. 
`6,009,469). 
`
`  
`Accordingly, Petitioners respectfully request permission to expunge Ex. 1002 from IPR2015‐00198 and replace it with 
`the correct version of the Ex. 1002.  A copy of the correct Ex. 1002 for IPR2015‐00198 is attached for your reference. 

`Sincerely,  
`Rajeev Gupta

`
`Counsel, 

`As you know, LG, Toshiba, Vizio, and Hulu filed three petitions for inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,131,121; 
`6,009,469; and 6,108,704 on October 31, 2014.  After filing the petitions, we learned that Ex. 1002 (Declaration of Dr. 
`Bruce M. Maggs) for the ’121 patent petition was inadvertently submitted for both the ’121 and ’469 petitions 
`(respectively, IPR2015‐00196 and IPR2015‐00198).   

`We have contacted the Board regarding the inadvertently filed exhibit (see attached email), provided the Board with the 
`correct copy of the exhibit, and hereby serve a copy of the correct Ex. 1002 to IPR2015‐00198 on Straight Path.  We will 
`send a hard copy today via FedEx to Michael Renaud and counsel of record at the PTO for the patent owner (listed 
`below).

`
`VIA FEDEX
`
` As you know, LG, Toshiba, Vizio, and Hulu filed three petitions for inter partes review
`of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,131,121; 6,009,469; and 6,108,704 on October 31, 2014. After filing the
`petitions, we learned that Ex. 1002 (Declaration of Dr. Bruce M. Maggs) for the ’121 patent
`petition was inadvertently submitted for both the ’121 and ’469 petitions (respectively, IPR2015-
`00196 and IPR2015-00198).
`
`We have contacted the Board regarding the inadvertently filed exhibit (see attached
`email), provided the Board with the correct copy of the exhibit, and hereby serve a copy of the
`correct Ex. 1002 to IPR2015-00198.

`To whom it may concern, 
`
`  
`The above‐captioned petitions, filed on Friday, October 31, relate to U.S. Patent Nos. 6,131,121 and 6,009,469, 
`respectively.  Petitioners inadvertently submitted the identical copies of Ex. 1002 (Declaration of Dr. Bruce M. Maggs) in 
`both petitions, rather than different exhibits for each Petition.  Ex. 1002 as submitted in IPR2015‐00196 (the petition for 
`U.S. Patent No. 6,131,121) is correct, but a different version of Ex. 1002 (also a Declaration of Dr. Bruce M. Maggs, but 
`addressing a different patent) should have been submitted in IPR2015‐00198 (the petition for U.S. Patent No. 
`6,009,469). 
`
`  
`Accordingly, Petitioners respectfully request permission to expunge Ex. 1002 from IPR2015‐00198 and replace it with 
`the correct version of the Ex. 1002.  A copy of the correct Ex. 1002 for IPR2015‐00198 is attached for your reference.

`As you know, LG, Toshiba, Vizio, and Hulu filed three petitions for inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,131,121; 
`6,009,469; and 6,108,704 on October 31, 2014.  After filing the petitions, we learned that Ex. 1002 (Declaration of Dr. 
`Bruce M. Maggs) for the ’121 patent petition was inadvertently submitted for both the ’121 and ’469 petitions 
`(respectively, IPR2015‐00196 and IPR2015‐00198).   
`
`  
`We have contacted the Board regarding the inadvertently filed exhibit (see attached email), provided the Board with the 
`correct copy of the exhibit, and hereby serve a copy of the correct Ex. 1002 to IPR2015‐00198 on Straight Path.  We will 
`send a hard copy today via FedEx to Michael Renaud and counsel of record at the PTO for the patent owner (listed 
`below).

`
`Raj,
`
`Thanks for your call this afternoon. Straight Path believes that LG needs to file a motion to file its replacement Ex. 1002.
`See 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(a). We also understand that before filing such a motion, LG must first request a conference call
`with the Board to seek prior authorization for filing the motion. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(b).
`
`Please let us know if LG has a different understanding.
`
`Thanks,
`Michael
