`Re: Crestron Electronics, Inc. v. Intzririve Bltlldlllg Controls, Inc. -- Case No. 1PR20I5-01379
`
`Dear Sirs:
`
`As you know, Crestron Electronics, Inc. has filed an inter Partes Review with the United States
`Patent Office that challenges the validity of all claims of US Patent No. 5,945,993 (the ‘993 patent).
`
`in your recent filing, “Patent 0wner’s Preliminary Response" (Paper No. 15), you make several
`statements regarding the “wayback machine” twww.archivg.org) that are incomplete at best and appear to be
`misleading. Your own Exhibit 2001 demonstrates that you have actually accessed “page2.html” on a
`computer using a web browser program, such as Microsoft Explorer.
`
`http://web.archive.org[webl 19961 1 141255 l2/hfip://www.savoysofi.com/page2rhtrnl
`
`it is obvious that you were able to view and download the source for this page by using a “view
`source command”, such as that illustrated below at Figure 1, for Microsoft Explorer:
`
`0
`-
`
`left mouse click on the “Vlew" tab of the toolbar, followed by
`left mouse click on "Source” menu item
`
`It isn't clear why you were not able view the properties for the graphic image “imgl.git” shown on
`this page by an equal simple method, such as that illustrated below at Figure 2, for Microsofi Explorer:
`
`-
`-
`
`right mouse click over Image, followed by
`left mouse click on “Proportles" menu Item
`
`When you view the properties for “img1.git”, it becomes readily apparent that this file was archived,
`using The Internet Archive typical archival format http://web.archive.org/web/[Year in yyyy][Month in
`m1n][Day in dd][Tirne code in hh:mm:ss]/[Archived URL]. (See Figures 3 and 4, below.)
`
`Accordingly, the “ilngl.gif” was archived on November 14, I996 (at 12:55, 12 seconds), just as
`Crestron represented to the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board when describing Exhibit 1009.
