`
`IPR2016-01159
`
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,694,657
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s scheduling order2 (Paper No. 8), Patent Owner
`
`Windy City Innovations LLC respectfully submits observations on the July 20,
`
`2017 cross-examination of Petitioner Facebook Inc.’s (“Petitioner”) reply witness,
`
`Tal Lavian, Ph.D.
`
`II. Observations on the Cross-Examination of Tal Lavian, Ph.D.
`
`Exhibit 2013 is a copy of the cross-examination transcript of Dr. Tal Lavian,
`
`Ph.D. Exhibits 1017, 108, 1019, 1020 and 2014 were referenced during the cross
`
`examination of Dr. Lavian on his Second Declaration (Exhibit 1021) filed in
`
`support of Petitioner’s Reply.
`
`a. Observations Relevant to any Association between Keys and
`Invitations in Roseman
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on page 13, lines 11 through 23, Dr. Lavian testified that in
`
`the Roseman system a key does not necessarily need to be associated with an
`
`invitation. This testimony is relevant because in Facebook’s original petition, it
`
`stated that keys (without any limitation) disclose the token of the ’657 Patent.
`
`Petition at 11.
`
`b. Observations Relevant to Bob Metcalfe being a Leading Figure with
`Respect to the Internet
`
`
`
`2 Due Date 4 remains unaffected by the filing of the parties’ scheduling stipulations and the Board’s revised
`scheduling order in this case.

`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01159
`
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,694,657
`
`
`
`
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on page 14, lines 16 through page 15, line 1 when
`
`questioned whether Bob Metcalfe was a leading expert in 1996 with respect to
`
`Internet traffic, Dr. Lavian testified that Dr. Metcalfe was in fact a respectable
`
`credentialed person. This testimony is relevant because it provides evidence that a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would have taken Metcalfe’s prediction seriously
`
`in 1996.
`
`c. Observations Relevant to Article entitled “Sage who warned of Net’s
`Collapse eats his words.”
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on page 24, lines 11 through 19 Dr. Lavian testified with
`
`respect to Exhibit 1019. Dr. Lavian did not dispute Metcalfe’s observations from
`
`1997 with respect to significant network outages that had occurred in 1996. This
`
`testimony is relevant because it shows the degree that Metcalfe’s prediction did
`
`come true.
`
`d. Observations Relevant to Article entitled “Bob Metcalfe on What’s
`Wrong with the Internet.”
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on page 27, lines 13 through page 28, line 2, Dr. Lavian
`
`testified with respect to Exhibit 1018. Dr. Lavian did not dispute that Metcalfe’s
`
`offered a reasonable fear about the governance and management of the Internet in
`
`the 1997 timeframe. This testimony is relevant because it shows the part of the
`
`basis of Metcalfe’s prediction was reasonable.
`
`e. Observations Relevant to Books Authored by Loomis and Korth

`
`
`
`IPR2016-01159
`
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,694,657
`
`
`
`
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on pages 38 line 3 to 18 and pages 39 lines 16 to 23, Dr.
`
`Lavian testified with respect to Exhibits 1017 and 1020 respectively. Exhibit 1017
`
`is Database System Concepts authored by Henry Korth and Exhibit 1020 is The
`
`Database Book by Mary Loomis. Dr. Lavian testified that to the best of his
`
`knowledge the Korth book was published in 1991 and that he did not research if
`
`there were later editions. Similarly, Dr. Lavian testified that to the best of his
`
`knowledge the Loomis book was published in 1987 and that he did not research if
`
`there were later editions. This testimony is relevant because it casts doubt on
`
`whether more recent books during the relevant year of 1996 by these writers would
`
`provide the same information.
`
`f. Observations Relevant to Video Traffic on the Internet in 1996
`
`In Exhibit 2013, on page 40, lines 6 through 24, and page 49, lines 17 to
`
`page 51, line 9, Dr. Lavian testified regarding Exhibit 2014, an article entitled Why
`
`We Don't Know How to Simulate the Internet. Dr. Lavian testified that he
`
`recognized this article as one that was used as part of a networking examination in
`
`his Ph.D. program and is typically used at top universities. Dr. Lavian
`
`acknowledged that the article states that multicast video traffic appeared poised to
`
`explode a few years before 1997. Dr. Lavian did not dispute that such traffic had
`
`not exploded in that timeframe. This testimony is relevant because it provides
`
`added information to evaluate Dr..Lavian’s reliance on Vetter to indicate that
`
