`
`Sir:
`
`Pursuant to the Right of Appeal Notice mailed on January 6, 2011, Realtime Data, LLC,
`
`(herein “Patent Owner”),
`
`in the above-captioned inter partes reexamination involving U.S.
`
`Patent No. 7,161,506 (“the ‘506 Patent”), timely filed its Notice of Appeal on February 7, 2011,
`
`from the final rejection of claims 1-5, 8, 9, 11, 17, 20-23, 27, 39, 43, 69-73, 79, 81, 82, 84-90, 96
`
`and 98. The third-party requester, Blue Coat Systems, Inc., did not file a notice of cross-appeal,
`
`though it had the ability to do so based on its proposed rejections regarding the LBX, French,
`
`Sebastian, Franaszek, Lafe, and Reynar references that were not adopted.
`
`(RAN at 6-8.) This
`
`appeal is therefore limited to issues raised herein. Patent Owner’s appeal brief is due on April
`
`21, 2011, (see 37 C.F.R. § 41.66(a)).
`
`Patent Owner hereby timely files one electronic copy of this Appeal Brief, together with
`
`the required fee set forth in 37 C.F.R. § 41.20(b)(2). If additional fees are necessary to prevent
`
`abandomnent of this appeal, then any such fees required therefore are hereby authorized to be
`
`charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 19-0036.

`Summary of Claimed Subject Matter
`
`A.
`
`Independent Claim 1
`
`Claim 1 is directed towards a method of data for compressing data based on an analysis
`
`of data blocks including content independent data compression and content dependent data
`
`compression.
`
`If a data type of the data block is identified then content dependent data
`
`compression is performed. If the data type is not identified then data compression with a single
`
`data compression encoder is performed. Support for claim 1
`
`in the specification of the ‘506
`
`patent is listed in the following table. However, every instance where the claim term, element, or
`
`limitation is described in the specification is not listed, as such citation is not required and would
`
`be inefficient. These exemplary citations are not an admission or disclaimer of patent scope.
`

`Independent Claim 69
`
`Claim 69 is directed towards a method of data compression including receiving an

`
`If an encoder is associated with the type of identified data then that encoder is used, if the
`
`encoder is not associated with the type of data, then a different encoder is used. Support for
`
`claim 69 in the specification of the ‘506 patent is listed in the following table. However, every

`
`Whether claims 70, 71, 84-90, 96 and 98 was rejected properly under 35 U.S.C. § l03(a)

`
`VII. Argument
`
`A.
`
`Standard ofReview
`
`The Examiner determines patentability “on the totality of the record, by a preponderance
`
`of the evidence.” Ex parte Frye, Appeal No. 2009-6013, at *8-9 (B.P.A.I. Feb. 26, 2010)
`
`(precedential opinion). The Board reviews the Examiner’s rejections “for error based upon the
`
`issues identified by appellant, and in light of the arguments and evidence produced thereon.” Id.
`
`Further, the Board “reviews particular finding(s) contested by an appellant anew in light of all
`
`the evidence and argument on that issue.” Id. at *10. The Office bears the burden of showing
`
`that the claims are unpatentable. See In re Caveney, 761 F.2d 671, 674 (Fed. Cir. 1985).
`
`Therefore, the Examiner must establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the rejected
`
`claims in the ‘506 patent are unpatentable over the cited art. Because the preponderance of the
`
`evidence favors Patent Owner’s positions, the rejections should be reversed and the challenged
`
`claims confirmed.
`
`B.
`
`Summary of the Reexamination before the Central Reexamination Unit
`
`Requester set forth six alleged substantial new questions of patentability (“SNQS”) over
`
`eight references on May 28, 2009. Commensurate with the alleged SNQs, Requester proposed
`
`the following rej ections:
