`
`1.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`On November 22, 2017, the Board issued a decision denying institution of
`
`Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948. Specifically, the Board denied
`
`institution on the basis that the secondary reference in Petitioner’s petition, the
`
`reference book Stevens, TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol.2 (“Stevens2”) (Ex.1013), was not
`
`shown to be a prior art printed publication. IPR2017-01395, Paper 8 at 8. The
`
`Board found that Exhibit 1063, a sworn affidavit from Pamela Stansbury (an
`
`employee of the Original Cataloging Unit of the Cornell University Library)
`
`stating that Stevens2 “was publicly available at the Cornell University Library as
`
`of April 7, 1995,” to be insufficient to support the public availability of Stevens2
`
`“because it lacks any acknowledgement by Ms. Stansbury that willful false
`
`statements are punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both, or that the statements are
`
`true under penalty of perjury.” Id. at 6-7; see Exhibit 1063.
`
`Petitioner respectfully submits that the Board misapplied laws that require
`
`an unsworn declaration to include an acknowledgement of the penalty of perjury
`
`to the sworn affidavit of Ms. Stansbury. See Exhibit 1063. (“Pamela Stansbury
`
`being of full age and duly sworn, deposes and says as follows”, “Sworn to before
`
`me”). Unlike an unsworn declaration, a sworn affidavit is not required to include
`
`such an acknowledgment. See Home Sav. of America F.A. v. Einhorn, No. 87 C
`
`7390, 1990 WL 114643 at *4 (N.D. Ill. July 24, 1990) (“If a statement does not
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`satisfy § 1746 by evidencing that the declarant signed under penalty of perjury,
`
`then the other alternative under federal law is for the declarant to swear before an
`
`official authorized to administer an oath. This is generally what is meant by the
`
`term ‘affidavit’”).
`
`As the Board noted, 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(a) permits the use of affidavits as
`
`evidence. As the Board also noted, 37 C.F.R. § 42.2 states that “Affidavit means
`
`affidavit or declaration under § 1.68 of this chapter. A transcript of an ex parte
`
`deposition or a declaration under 28 U.S.C. 1746 may be used as an affidavit.”
`
`(emphasis added). While §42.2 permits the use of unsworn declarations under
`
`§1.68 or 28 U.S.C. § 1746 in lieu of a sworn affidavit, none of these sections
`
`extends the acknowledgement requirements for such an unsworn declaration to a
`
`sworn affidavit. Yet the Board mistakenly applied the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §
`
`1.68 and 28 U.S.C. § 1746 for unsworn declarations to the sworn Stansbury
`
`Affidavit.
`
`Ms. Stansbury executed a sworn affidavit in the presence of a notary public
`
`stating that Stevens2 was, in her best determination, publicly available as of April
`
`7, 1995 at the Cornell University Library – more than two years before the priority
`
`date of the 948 Patent. The Stansbury Affidavit, sworn before a notary public, is
`
`“a sworn statement [ ] made under penalty of perjury” (see N.Y. Penal Law §§
`
`210.00-.50) and is not subject to the acknowledgment requirements for unsworn
`
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`declarations of either 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 or 28 U.S.C. 1746. See Home Sav. of
`
`America F.A., 1990 WL 114643 at *4 (“If a statement does not satisfy § 1746 by
`
`evidencing that the declarant signed under penalty of perjury, then the other
`
`alternative under federal law is for the declarant to swear before an official
`
`authorized to administer an oath. This is generally what is meant by the term
`
`‘affidavit’”). As a result, the Board erred in giving Ms. Stansbury’s sworn
`
`affidavit no weight.
`
`The Board also found that “Petitioner provides no evidence that the 24th
`
`printing generated in 2010 (long after the 1997 priority date of the ’948 patent)
`
`discloses the same material as earlier printings that may antedate the ’948 patent.”
`
`IPR2017-01395, Paper 8 at 7. Respectfully, this is also error. Each “printing” of a
`
`book is exactly what it says it is – the creation of additional printed copies of the
`
`same book. In contrast, revisions are signified by a new “edition.”1 The same page
`
`relied upon by the Board to show that Stevens2 submitted by Petitioner is the 24th
`
`printing shows that it is a reprint of the 1995 edition, because it identifies only the
`
`1 For corroboration of the plain meaning of printing and edition see Ex.1095 (“A
`
`reprint means more copies are being printed with no substantial changes. Perhaps a
`
`few typos are being fixed. A new edition means that there has been a substantial
`
`change”).

`
`
`Petitioner further respectfully submits that the Board misapplied the legal
`
`standard for institution and instead applied a post-institution, trial standard.
`
`Petitioner clearly demonstrated that there is at least a reasonable likelihood that all
`
`challenged claims of the 948 Patent are invalid, including specifically at least a
`
`reasonable likelihood that Stevens2 is prior art, since, in addition to the Stansbury
`
`Affidavit, it is described as widely-cited prior art in Petitioner’s expert declaration
`
`and effectively acknowledged as such in the earliest-filed priority application for
`
`the ’948 Patent. See Petition at 15 (citing Ex.1003 at ¶¶21-88, including ¶¶27, 60,
`
`and FN3), 45 (citing Ex.1003 at ¶1212), FN9; see also Ex.1031.009 (“According to
`
`W. Richard Stevens and Gary Write in their book ‘TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2’,
`
`TCP operated without experiencing any exceptions between 97 and 100 percent of
`
`the time in local area networks”)).
`
`Petitioner, pre-institution, need only demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of

`2 On page 45 of the Petition, Petitioner mistakenly cited to ¶121 of Ex.1003 in
`
`support of the statement that “Stevens2 is one of the most widely-read and
`
`referenced books on the implementation of TCP/IP.” Petitioner intended to cite to
`
`Ex.1003 at ¶123, which is the beginning of the section concerning Stevens2, rather
`
`than ¶121, which concerns the Tanenbaum96 reference.

`
`success, not conclusive proof of public accessibility as the Board ultimately
`
`required. See, e.g., Coalition for Affordable Drugs IV LLC, IPR2015-01076, Paper
`
`No. 33 at 6 (PTAB Oct. 19, 2015); see also IPR2017-0425, Paper 8 at 26. To the
`
`extent that the Patent Owner raised disputes of material fact in its response relating
`
`to the sworn affidavit of Ms. Stansbury, these should be resolved in favor of the
`
`Petitioner at the institution stage and instead addressed during the trial, particularly
`
`given the totality of evidence regarding the public availability of the Stevens2
`
`reference (including Petitioner’s expert declaration and that Stevens2 was cited by
`
`the 1997 Provisional Application 60/061,809 from which the 948 Patent claims its
`
`earliest priority date, as shown in Ex.1031.009). See 37 CFR § 42.108(c).

`
`APPLICABLE LEGAL STANDARDS
`This Request is authorized under 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d) because it is filed
`
`within 30 days of the entry of a decision not to institute a trial. Under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.71(d), the Request “must specifically identify all matters the party believes the
`
`Board misapprehended or overlooked, and the place where each matter was
`
`previously addressed in a motion, an opposition, or a reply.” Section 42.71(c) of
`
`37 C.F.R. provides that a panel will review the decision for an abuse of discretion.
`
`“An abuse of discretion may arise if a decision is based on an erroneous
`
`interpretation of law,” see Daicel Corp. v. Celanese Int’l Corp., IPR2015-00173,
`
`Paper 15 at 2 (June 26, 2015).
`

`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`Under 37 CFR § 42.108, a petition must “demonstrate that there is a
`
`reasonable likelihood that at least one of the claims challenged in the petition is
`
`unpatentable” for institution of a trial. Consistent with the “reasonable likelihood”
`
`standard, for institution purposes, there is no requirement to establish with
`
`certainty or trial evidence that a reference is prior art. Rather, “Petitioner [ ] has
`
`the initial burden of production to establish that there is prior art that renders the
`
`claims unpatentable. To satisfy this initial burden, we have often required
`
`Petitioner to come forward with sufficient evidence to make a threshold showing
`
`that the reference relied upon is available prior art.” See, e.g., Coalition for
`
`Affordable Drugs IV LLC v. Pharmacyclics, Inc., IPR2015-01076, Paper 33 at 6
`
`(PTAB Oct. 19, 2015); see also IPR2017-0425, Paper 8 at 26 (determining prior
`
`art status “[a]t this [institution] stage of the proceeding” by looking at the totality
`
`of the evidence, including alleged hearsay, because such evidentiary objections
`
`“are properly made and resolved” during trial).
`
`The determination of what constitutes a “printed publication” requires a
`
`case-by-case inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding the reference’s
`
`disclosure to the public. In re Klopfenstein, 380 F.3d 1345, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2004).
`
`Under the relevant legal standard, a reference is considered “publicly accessible”
`
`based on a showing that the document was “disseminated or otherwise made
`
`available to the extent that persons interested and ordinarily skilled in the subject
`
`
`

`
`BASIS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED
`3.1.
`The Board Misapplied the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.68
`and 28 U.S.C. 1746 for unsworn declarations to the sworn
`Stansbury Affidavit.
`Respectfully, the Board misapplied the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 and
`
`28 U.S.C. 1746 for unsworn declarations to the sworn Stansbury affidavit.
`
`Specifically, the Board held:
`
`We find Ex. 1063 to be insufficient to support Petitioner’s contention
`
`regarding the public availability of Stevens2. Our rules allow affidavits as a
`
`form of evidence. 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(a). However, our rules define affidavit
`
`to mean “affidavit or declaration under § 1.68 of this chapter. . . . [A]
`
`declaration under 28 U.S.C. [§] 1746 may be used as an affidavit.” 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.2. The Stansbury Declaration is insufficient, under either 37
`
`C.F.R. § 1.68 or 28 U.S.C. § 1746, because it lacks any acknowledgement
`
`by Ms. Stansbury that willful false statements are punishable by fine,
`
`imprisonment, or both, or that the statements are true under penalty of
`
`perjury. To give weight to Ms. Stansbury’s statements would thwart the
`
`purpose of our rules regarding testimonial evidence. See Int’l Business
`
`

`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`Machines Corp. v. Intellectual Ventures II LLC, Case IPR2015-01323, slip
`
`op. 9–11 (PTAB Sept. 27, 2016) (Paper 38).
`
`IPR2017-01395, Paper 8 at 6-7. Yet Ms. Stansbury, swore before a notary public
`
`that to her best determination, Stevens2 was “publicly available” at the Cornell
`
`University Library more than two years before the priority date of the 948 Patent.
`
`Id. Ms. Stansbury’s sworn affidavit is subject to a penalty of perjury under New
`
`York law. See N.Y. Penal Law §§ 210.00-.50. Because the Stansbury Affidavit is
`
`sworn, the acknowledgement requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 and 28 U.S.C. 1746
`
`for unsworn declarations on do not apply. Respectfully, the Board’s conclusion
`
`that Ms. Stansbury’s affidavit should be given no weight is clearly in error based
`
`on the Board’s misapplication of 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 and 28 U.S.C. 1746.
`
`Both 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 and 28 U.S.C. 1746 are explicitly directed to unsworn
`
`declarations used in lieu of sworn affidavits. Section 1.68 is entitled “Declaration
`
`in lieu of oath,” and states that an unsworn declaration “may be used in lieu of the
`
`oath otherwise required, if, and only if, the declarant is on the same document,
`
`warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or
`
`imprisonment.” Title 28, section 1746 is entitled “Unsworn declarations under
`
`penalty of perjury,” and states that “[w]herever… any matter is required or
`
`permitted to be supported, evidenced, established, or proved by the sworn
`
`declaration… or affidavit… such matter may, with like force and effect, be
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`supported, evidenced, established, or proved by the unsworn declaration”
`
`(emphasis added) if a penalty of perjury is acknowledged. Neither 37 C.F.R. § 1.68
`
`nor 28 U.S.C. § 1746 require such an acknowledgement for a sworn affidavit like
`
`the Stansbury Affidavit. Further, neither 37 C.F.R. § 42.63(a) or § 42.2 requires
`
`that an IPR petitioner use an unsworn declaration in lieu of a sworn affidavit.
`
`Petitioner submitted a sworn affidavit in support of Stevens2, not an unsworn
`
`declaration. The acknowledgements required by 37 C.F.R. § 1.68 and 28 U.S.C. §
`
`1746 for unsworn declarations therefore do not apply. See Home Sav. of America
`
`F.A., 1990 WL 114643 at *4 (“If a statement does not satisfy § 1746 by evidencing
`
`that the declarant signed under penalty of perjury, then the other alternative under
`
`federal law is for the declarant to swear before an official authorized to administer
`
`an oath. This is generally what is meant by the term ‘affidavit’”).
`
`Unlike the sworn Stansbury Affidavit, the Miles Declaration discussed at
`
`pages 9-11 of the Int’l Business Machines Corp. v. Intellectual Ventures II LLC
`
`decision cited by the Board was an unsworn declaration. Accordingly, that
`
`decision likewise does not apply to the Stansbury Affidavit. See Int’l Business
`
`Machines Corp. v. Intellectual Ventures II LLC, Case IPR2015-01323, slip op. 9–
`
`11 (PTAB Sept. 27, 2016) (Paper 38).
`
`Notwithstanding Ms. Stansbury’s sworn affidavit, the Board suggests that
`
`Stevens2 may not have been indexed or publicly accessible. IPR2017-01395,
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`Paper 8 at 6-7. Respectfully, this conclusion cannot be reconciled with the only
`
`evidence of record. Ms. Stansbury is clearly competent to swear to the public
`
`availability of Stevens2. As reflected in her sworn affidavit, she is an employee of
`
`Cornell University Library in the Original Cataloguing Unit and has held the
`
`position since 1996. Ex.1063. She therefore has firsthand knowledge of the
`
`library’s cataloging practices in the relevant timeframe. No evidence of record
`
`contradicts Ms. Stansbury’s sworn statement that the Cornell University Library
`
`made Stevens2 publicly available in 1995. Ms. Stansbury’s declaration is more
`
`than sufficient to demonstrate the prior art status of Stevens2.
`
`Further, Stevens2 itself corroborates the prior art status of Stevens2 shown
`
`by Ms. Stansbury’s sworn affidavit. Namely, the copy relied upon by the
`
`Petitioner recites that it is the “24th Printing 2010” and bears a 1995 copyright
`
`date. Ex.1013.010. Nevertheless, the Board reached the opposite conclusion and
`
`determined that Stevens2, “on its face”, contradicts Petitioner’s contention that
`
`Stevens2 is prior art. Respectfully, the Board mistakes an edition (which signifies
`
`revisions) from a printing (which signifies additional printed copies of the same
`
`book).3 Had Stevens2 as submitted been a new edition, it would have been
`
`
`3 For corroboration of the plain meanings of “printing” and “edition” see Ex.1095
`
`(“A reprint means more copies are being printed with no substantial changes.
`
`
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`identified as such, and would have had a later copyright date and a different ISBN.
`
`Yet Stevens2 as submitted does not indicate that it is anything other than the first
`
`edition, and bears the same 1995 copyright date and ISBN as the 1995 first
`
`printing.4
`
`Moreover, the fact that Stevens2 has been reprinted 23 times in the ten years
`
`following its first publication shows that the book was widely consumed by the
`
`public. Consistent with this, Petitioner’s expert attested that Stevens2 was
`
`“standard reference book on TCP/IP” that was “widely cited and relied upon,”
`
`“well known resources to a POSA” (Petition at 15 (citing Ex.1003 at ¶¶21-88,
`
`including ¶¶27, 60, and FN3), 45 (citing Ex.1003 at ¶1215), FN9). Dispelling any
`
`doubt that Stevens2 is a prior art reference, the 1997 Provisional Application
`
`60/061,809 from which the 948 Patent claims its earliest filing date also cites to
`
`
`Perhaps a few typos are being fixed. A new edition means that there has been a
`
`substantial change”).
`
`4 Compare Ex.1013.010 (showing the September 2010 24th printing of Stevens2
`
`with a 1995 copyright and an ISBN of 0-201-63354-X) with Ex.1096 (showing
`
`“first printing,” a 1995 copyright date and an ISBN of 0-201-63354-X).

`
`Stevens2. See Ex.1031.009 (“According to W. Richard Stevens and Gary Write in
`
`their book ‘TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 2’, TCP operated without experiencing any
`
`exceptions between 97 and 100 percent of the time in local area networks”); see
`
`also Petition at 15 (citing Ex.1003 at ¶¶21-88, including ¶27 and FN3).
`
`3.2.
`
`The Board Misapplied the Legal Standard for Institution of a
`Trial
`Respectfully, in overlooking or misapprehending this evidence regarding
`
`Stevens2’s status as prior art in the Petition and the accompanying exhibits, the
`
`Board applied the incorrect standard for determining institution. The Board
`
`applied a heightened standard for public availability that is not found in the statute
`
`regarding institution. Petitioner must only demonstrate a reasonable likelihood of
`
`success, not conclusive proof of public accessibility as the Board ultimately
`
`required. See, e.g., Coalition for Affordable Drugs IV LLC, IPR2015-01076, Paper
`
`No. 33 at 6 (PTAB Oct. 19, 2015); see also IPR2017-0425, Paper 8 at 26.
`
`Indeed, the Blue Calypso case, on which the Board relies, does not support
`
`the Board’s conclusion and instead illustrates that the Board applied the incorrect
`
`standard. In the underlying Blue Calypso CBM, the Board instituted trial over the
`
`Patent Owner’s criticism of a declaration supporting the public availability of a
`
`reference. CBM2013-00033, Paper 10 at 23-24. Specifically, the Board noted that
`
`“[i]n any case, this contention is premature. Patent Owner will have the
`
`opportunity to depose [the declarant] and present evidence to establish facts that
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`will support Patent Owner’s position.” Id. at 24. The Board also noted that it was
`
`incumbent on the Patent Owner to submit evidence casting doubt on the prior art
`
`status of the reference6—not merely attack the weight that should be given to
`
`evidence of its prior art status. Id. at 24 (noting that “Patent Owner has not
`
`presented sufficient arguments to cast doubt on any of” the statements in the
`
`declaration.) The Federal Circuit, on the other hand, was considering an appeal in
`
`which the Board was applying the trial standard for evidence of public
`
`accessibility (i.e., post-institution), ultimately finding a reference not to be prior
`
`art. See Blue Calypso, 815 F.3d at 1348. The proper standard for pre-institution is
`
`whether a “threshold showing” has been made that the reference is reasonably
`
`likely to be publicly available prior art, not whether trial-worthy evidence
`
`conclusively establishes a reference is prior art. See id.
`
`Similarly,
`
`the Board’s decision
`
`is
`
`inconsistent with prior opinions
`
`specifically noting that evidentiary objections, such as hearsay, are to be resolved
`
`6 Petitioner fully recognizes that it is Petitioner’s burden to demonstrate that
`
`Stevens2 is prior. Petitioner submitted a sworn affidavit to this effect and the
`
`reference itself corroborates that it is prior art. Petitioner has met its burden
`
`demonstrating a threshold showing. Yet in response, Patent Owner offers no
`
`evidence of its own contradicting Petitioner’s contention.
`
`
`
`14
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01395
`U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948
`
`after institution. See, e.g., IPR2017-0425, Paper 8 at 26 (instituting IPR over
`
`hearsay objection to publication date raised in preliminary response because
`
`“objections to evidence such as the one advanced by [patent owner] are properly
`
`made and resolved via procedures” available after institution).
`
`In sum, Petitioners included evidence sufficient to make the required
`
`threshold showing pre-institution. The Petition cites Ms. Stansbury’s sworn
`
`affidavit (Petition at 45); identifies the copyright date (which is roughly two years
`
`prior to the earliest possible priority date) (see Petition at vii, 15 (citing Ex.1003 at
`
`¶¶21-88, including ¶60), FN9; see also Ex. 1013.010); points out that Patent
`
`Owner’s own patents reference Stevens2 (see Petition at 15 (citing Ex.1003 at
`
`¶¶21-88, including ¶¶ 27, 60, and FN3); see also Ex.1031.009); and cites to an
`
`expert declaration attesting to the date, wide availability and use of Stevens2
`
`reference book (see Petition at 15 (citing Ex.1003 at ¶¶21-88, including ¶¶ 27, 60,
`
`and FN3), 45 (citing Ex.1003 at 1237)). This is more than sufficient to demonstrate
`
`a threshold showing of the prior art status of Stevens2.
`
`4.
`
`CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioners respectfully requests the Board
`
`institute Inter Partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,805,948.
