`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S LIST OF PROPOSED MOTIONS
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`In anticipation of the initial conference call scheduled for September 18,
`
`2015, TriPlay, Inc. (“Patent Owner”) hereby submits a list of proposed motions
`
`presently contemplated or for which it may seek future authorization.
`
`1. Motion for Additional Discovery
`
`In the event the parties cannot agree on additional discovery, Patent Owner
`
`seeks authorization to file a motion for narrowly tailored discovery with respect to
`
`the secondary considerations “long felt need” and “commercial success.”
`
`As to long felt need, WhatsApp’s own patent application, Ser. No.
`
`12/732,182, which was filed on March 25, 2010 and published on November 22,
`
`2012 as US 2012/0294352, establishes at paragraphs 5 through 8 that there is more
`
`than a mere possibility and mere allegation that WhatsApp has documents
`
`regarding long felt need.
`
`Further as to long felt need and commercial success, the required nexus is
`
`more than a possibility and mere allegation because the claims of the ‘475 patent
`
`cover the entire process by which WhatsApp, Inc. derives its revenues.
`
`2. Motion to Exclude Petitioner’s Expert David Klausner
`
`In Patent Owner’s Objections To Evidence Submitted In The Petition, Patent
`
`Owner objected to Petitioner’s Expert on the grounds that there is nothing in the
`
`record establishing that David Klausner is qualified to opine as to the knowledge of
`
`a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the ‘475 patent. Patent Owner
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`respectfully requests that the Board consider a motion to excluded David Klausner
`
`after Patent Owner has had the opportunity to take Mr. Klausner’s deposition.
`
`3.
`
`Contingent Motion to Amend
`
`Patent Owner may move to amend one or more claims of the ‘475 patent.
`
`Any such amendments will be made to respond to one or more of the grounds of
`
`unpatentability involved in the trial, and will not enlarge the scope of the claims of
`
`the ‘475 patent (37 C.F.R. § 42.221(a)(2)(i)) or introduce new matter (37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.221(a)(2)(i)).
`
`Although Patent Owner does not presently contemplate filing additional
`
`motions, Patent Owner reserves the right to seek subsequent authorization for
`
`motions consistent with the relevant rules.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
