`
`Case Nos. IPR2015-01751
`and IPR2015-01752
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,356,482
`Inter Parte Review
`Notice of Appeal
`
`
`
`To the Director of the Patent and Trademark Office:
`Patent Owner, Applications in Internet Time LLC, hereby notices its appeals
`from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board Final Written Decision dated December 28,
`2016 (Paper 82 in 01751 case, Paper 80 in 01752 case), and all adverse rulings or
`orders leading up to the Final Written Decision.
`In addition to other issues that may be raised on appeal, Patent Owner asks
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 90.2(a)(3)(ii), that the appeal may raise one or more of the
`following legal issues:
`1. Whether the Board’s factual findings lacked substantial evidence because the
`Board did not explain why it relied upon one expert’s opinion of claim
`construction and not the opinions of four other experts.
`2. Whether the Board erred in its construction of claims 1, 7, 8, 10-13, 18-22, 27-
`33 and 38-40 of the subject ‘482 patent including “change management layer for
`automatically detecting changes that affect an application,” recited in claim 1,
`and “automatically detecting changes that affect a particular application,” recited
`in claim 21.
`3. Whether the Board erred in determining that Petitioner demonstrated by a
`preponderance of the evidence that claims 1, 7, 8, 10-13, 18-21, 27-33 and 38-40
`are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as anticipated by Patent No. 6,249,291
`(“Popp”).
`4. Whether the Board erred in determining that Petitioner demonstrated by a
`preponderance of the evidence that claims 13-17 and 33-37 are unpatentable
`under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious from Popp in view of Patent No. 5,710,900
`(“Anand”).

`
`
`
`5. Whether the Board erred in determining that Petitioner demonstrated by a
`preponderance of the evidence that claims 1, 8, 10, 19-21, 28, 30, 39 and 40 are
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as anticipated by Srdjan Kovacevic, Flexible,
`Dynamic User Interface for Web-Delivered Training, in AVI ’96 Proceedings of
`the Workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces 108-18 (1996) (“Kovacevic”)
`6. Whether the Board erred in determining that Petitioner demonstrated by a
`preponderance of the evidence that claims 1, 7, 8, 10-12, 19-21, 27-32, 39 and 40
`are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious in view of Patent No.
`5,806,071 (“Balderrama”) and Java Complete!, 42 Datamation Magazine 5, 28-
`49 (Mar. 1, 1996) (“Java Complete”).
`7. Whether the Board erred in determining that Petitioner demonstrated by a
`preponderance of the evidence that claim 22 is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §
`103(a) as obvious from Popp.
`8. Whether the Board erred in determining that Petitioner demonstrated by a
`preponderance of the evidence that claims 3-6 and 23-26 are unpatentable under
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious from Popp in view of E.F. Codd, Does Your DBMS
`Run by the Rules?, XIX ComputerWorld 42, 49-60 (Oct. 21, 1985) (“Codd”).
`9. Whether the Board exceeded its statutory and regulatory authority in making its
`factual findings supporting the ultimate conclusions of anticipation and
`obviousness.
`10. Whether the Board lacked authority to proceed in rendering the Final Written
`Decision because it misconstrued the law of privity and real party in interest.
`11. Whether the Board erred in holding that Salesforce.com, Inc. was not an unnamed
`real party in interest.
