`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`
`I.
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`Petitioner’s proposed grounds fail because it has no evidence to supports its
`
`positions, its arguments are contrary to the plain language of the claims, and it has
`
`taken positions that are directly contrary to the positions adopted in an underlying
`
`litigation involving the same patent, namely U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633 (Ex. 1001,
`
`the “‘633 Patent”). For at least these reasons, Palo Alto Networks, Inc.’s (“PAN”)
`
`and Blue Coat Systems, Inc.’s (“Blue Coat”) (collectively “Petitioner”) Petition is
`
`fatally flawed and Claims 14 and 19 should be confirmed.
`
`Petitioner has no evidence to support its Petition because its expert, Dr.
`
`Rubin, has not provided his interpretation of the claims. During routine discovery
`
`in this case, Patent Owner Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) took the deposition of
`
`Petitioner’s expert, Dr. Rubin. During his deposition, Petitioner instructed Dr.
`
`Rubin not to answer any questions regarding his interpretation of the claims. This
`
`improper strategy is fatal to the Petition because the Federal Circuit has made clear
`
`that an expert “must identify each claim element, state the witnesses’ interpretation
`
`of the claim element, and explain in detail how each claim element is disclosed in
`
`the prior art reference.” Schumer v. Lab. Computer Sys., Inc., 308 F.3d 1304,
`
`1315-1316 (Fed. Cir. 2002). Without Dr. Rubin’s interpretation of the claims in
`
`the record, Petitioner’s arguments lack evidentiary support and the Petition is
`
`baseless.

`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`
`In addition, Petitioner’s arguments are directly contrary to the plain language
`
`of the claims and the positions that were adopted in a litigation held in the
`
`Northern District of California. One of the main issues in these proceedings is
`
`whether Claim 14 of the ‘633 Patent requires executable code to be unmodified
`
`when it is received at an information-communicator and eventually executed at a
`
`destination. If it is found that the executable code is unmodified, then there is no
`
`doubt that the prior art is irrelevant to the ‘633 Patent.
`
`This same issue arose in the Finjan v. Blue Coat litigation and the Court held
`
`that Claim 14 of the ‘633 Patent requires the executable code to be unmodified. In
`
`the Blue Coat litigation, Petitioner argued that Claim 14 requires that the
`
`executable code to be unmodified based on the specification of the ‘633 Patent:
`
`First, the intrinsic record is clear that ‘without modifying the
`executable code’ should be included in the construction…. In fact, the
`Downloadable is never modified, and as discussed above, the [‘822
`and ‘633] patents specifically teach away from modifying the
`Downloadable. Looking at
`this from common sense,
`if
`the
`Downloadable itself was modified, there would be no need to monitor
`or intercept executable code operations as described in the patents
`because the would be monitored or intercepted operations would not
`exist by virtue of being proactively modified instead of being allowed
`to be attempted or occur. (emphasis in original)
`
`See Ex. 2018 (Petitioner’s Claim Construction Brief) at 18-21.
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`

`
`The District Court adopted the Petitioner’s position and held that “[i]t is clear from
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`the specification that the MPC does not modify the executable code.” See Ex.
`
`1036 (Claim Construction Order) at 9-10, 14-15. Because the District Court’s
`
`construction is based on the specification, it is consistent with Phillips and the BRI
`
`standard. As discussed more fully below, the proper claim construction is
`
`dispositive because the prior art modifies executable code while the ‘633 Patent
`
`does not modify executable code.
`
`Finally, Petitioner did not address the abundant secondary considerations
`
`that demonstrate that the challenged claims are not obvious. Petitioner wrote
`
`emails and prepared marketing material that demonstrates its intention to copy
`
`Finjan’s technology, including the ‘633 Patent. Ex. 2016 at 1 (“Finjan killer
`
`report”); Ex. 2012 at 16 (“[Petitioner’s] WebPulse provides sandboxing just like
`
`Finjan to analyze next steps of [mobile malicious code] scripts and web content.”);
`
`Ex. 2012 at 22 (“Although several other vendors have started to emulate this
`
`technique, Finjan has several core patents as well as deeper and broader techniques
`
`for catching more obscure and complex malware.”). In addition, Petitioner was
`
`found to infringe Claim 14 of the ‘633 Patent and failed to address this fact in its
`
`Petition. Because the Petitioner failed to provide an complete obviousness
`
`analysis, Claims 14 and 19 of the ‘633 Patent should be confirmed. Graham v.
`
`John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1, 17-18 (1966); KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S.

`
`FACTS
`
`A.
`
` Overview of Proceedings
`
`On August 4, 2015, a jury found that Blue Coat infringed Claim 14 of the
`
`‘633 Patent. Ex. 2004 at 4. The jury also confirmed the validity of Claim 14 of the
`
`‘633 Patent over United States Patent No. 5,983,348 (Ex. 2006, “the ‘348 Patent”
`
`or “Ji”), which contains the same disclosure as the primary references at issue in
`
`this proceeding. Ex. 2004 at 6.
`
`On September 30, 2015 and January 20, 2016, PAN and Blue Coat,
`
`respectfully, submitted Petitions in Case Nos. IPR2015-01974 and IPR2016-00480
`
`requesting inter partes review (“IPR”) of certain claims of U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,647,633 (Ex. 1001, the “‘633 Patent”). On March 29, 2016, the Board rendered a
`
`decision denying IPR of Claims 1–4, 6–8, 13, 28, and 38 of the ‘633 Patent and
`
`granting IPR of Claims 14 and 19. See Decision on Institution, IPR2015-01974,
`
`Paper 7 (“PAN Institution Decision”). Shortly thereafter, the Board granted Blue
`
`Coat’s Petition and Motion for Joinder with respect to Claims 14 and 19. See

`
`(“Blue Coat Institution Decision”).
`
`The District Court confirmed the jury’s verdict on July 18, 2016. The Court
`
`specifically held that Claim 14 was valid over Ji because it teaches modifying
`
`executable code while Claim 14 of the ‘633 Patent does not. Ex. 2047, Finjan v.
`
`Blue Coat, 13-cv-03999-BLF (N.D. Cal. July 18, 2016), Dkt. No. 543 at 18-19.
`
`B.
`
` Overview of ‘633 Patent
`
`The ’633 Patent claims priority to a number of patents and patent
`
`applications, including U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/205,591 and
`
`U.S. Patents Nos.7,058,822 (“the ‘822 Patent”), 6,804,780 (“the ‘780 Patent”),
`
`6,092,194 (Ex. 1013, “the ‘194 Patent”), 6,480,962 (“the ‘962 Patent”), and
`
`6,167,520 with an earliest claimed priority date of January 29, 1997. See Ex. 2003
`
`at 1.
`
`The ‘633 Patent describes systems and methods for protecting against
`
`malicious executable code. ‘633 Patent at Abstract. In particular, for the
`
`challenged claims, the ‘633 Patent describes a network “re-communicator” that
`
`receives downloadable-information that includes executable code (i.e. is a
`
`“Downloadable”). Id. at 2:39–44. The re-communicator causes mobile protection
`
`code (“MPC”) and the downloadable-information with executable code to be
`
`- 5 -
`
`

`

`
`transferred to the destination, without modifying the executable code. ‘633 Patent
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`at 2:66–3:4, 4:12-16, 10:39-44.
`
`As noted in the Background of the Invention Section, the invention disclosed
`
`and claimed in the ‘633 Patent is distinct over the same prior art at issue in this
`
`proceedings. Specifically, the Background of the ‘633 Patent distinguishes itself
`
`over the prior art because the prior art modifies executable code while the ‘633
`
`Patent does not modify executable code:
`
`To make matters worse, certain classes of viruses are not well
`recognized or understood, let alone protected against. It is observed by
`this inventor, for example, that Downloadable-information comprising
`program code can include distributable components (e.g. Java™
`applets and JavaScript scripts, ActiveX™ controls, Visual Basic, add-
`ins and/or others). It can also include, for example, application
`programs, Trojan horses, multiple compressed programs such as zip
`or meta files, among others. U.S. Pat. No. 5,983,348 to Shuang,
`however, teaches a protection system for protecting against only
`distributable components including “Java applets or ActiveX
`controls”, and further does so using resource intensive and high
`bandwidth static Downloadable content and operational analysis,
`and modification of the Downloadable component; Shuang further
`fails to detect or protect against additional program code included
`within a tested Downloadable.

`
`Id. at 1:58–2:6 (emphasis added).2 As discussed below, each of the primary
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`references in this proceeding contains the same disclosure as the Ji reference
`
`distinguished in the specification of the ‘633 Patent.
`
`C.
`
` Overview of Shin
`
`Insik Shin and John C. Mitchell “Java Bytecode Modification and Applet
`
`Security” (1998) (Ex. 1009, “Shin”) teaches modification of Java by instrumenting
`
`the incoming applet with security functions. The Board has already concluded that
`
`Shin is similar to Ji which was distinguished in the specification of the ‘633 Patent.
`
`IPR2015-01974, Board Decision Granting Institution, Paper No. 7 at 10 (“Upon
`
`review of Shin and comparison of its disclosure to that which the Office considered
`
`in the reexamination proceeding, we are persuaded that the technology for which
`
`Shin is relied upon in the Petition is substantially the same as that which was
`
`considered relevant in Ji.”); see also ‘633 Patent at 1:58–2:6 (“U.S. Pat. No.
`
`5,983,348 to Shuang [Ji], however, teaches…modification of the Downloadable
`
`component.”) (emphasis added). Indeed, Shin confirms the problems identified in
`
`
`2 While the above text refers to “Shuang,” a cursory look at the referenced patent,
`
`namely the ‘348 Patent, demonstrates that inventor is Shuang Ji. As such, the ‘348
`
`Patent will be referred to as “Ji” for the purposes of these proceedings.

`
`the specification of the ‘633 Patent. Shin’s Table 2 and Figure 6 (reproduced
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`below) shows an overhead cost of 999% for 250KB Java class file.
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex. 1009, Shin at 14-15.
`
`In other words, Shin shows a system that is resource intensive because it
`
`modifies the Downloadable which teaches away from the ‘633 Patent. Ex. 2019
`
`(“Goodrich Decl.”) at ¶45-46; Ex. 1009, Shin at 4 (“Our safety mechanism
`
`- 8 -
`
`

`

`
`substitutes one executable entity….This safety mechanism must be applied before
`
`Patent Owner’s Response
`IPR2015-01974 (U.S. Patent No. 7,647,633)
`
`the applet is executed.”) (emphasis added), (“The following sections explain how
`
`modified executable entities are inserted in Java bytecode.”). There is no need for
`
`mobile protection code because the system in Shin prevents all malicious behavior
`
`it intends to prevent. Ex. 1009, Shin at 4 (“This paper presents a safety mechanism
`
`for Java applets that is sufficient to solve the problems summarized above.”
`
`(emphasis added).
`
`D.
`
` Overview of Poison Java
`
`Poison Java is reference that discusses the commercial program AppletTrap
`
`(which is covered by the Ji patent) among other things. As the Board has already
`
`noted, the Poison Java reference is largely the same reference as Ji with less detail.
`
`IPR2015-01974, Board Decision Granting Institution, Paper No. 7 at 7-8 (“subject
`
`matter disclosed in Poison Java is the same as the subject matter disclosed in Ji….
`
`To be sure, Ji provides more detail of the disclosed system tha
