`
`I, David Hilliard Williams, declare as follows:
`
`INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORK
`I have been retained on behalf of the Patent Owner for the above-cap-
`1.
`
`tioned inter partes review proceeding. I am being compensated for my time in con-
`
`nection with this IPR at my standard hourly consulting rate. I understand that this
`
`proceeding involves U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358 (“the ’358 patent”) titled “Providing
`
`Notice And Receiving Consent To Obtain Location Information Of A Mobile De-
`
`vice” by Bennett H. Adelson, and that the ’358 patent is currently assigned to
`
`Macropoint LLP.
`
`2.
`
`I have reviewed and am familiar with the specification of the ’358 pa-
`
`tent filed on March 1, 2012. I understand that the ’358 patent has been provided as
`
`Exhibit 1001. I will cite to the specification using the following format: (1:1-10).
`
`This example citation points to the ’659 patent specification at column 1, lines 1-10.
`
`3.
`
`I have reviewed and am familiar with the file history of the ’358 patent.
`
`I understand that the file history has been provided as Exhibit 1004.
`
`4.
`
`In preparing this Declaration, I have also reviewed and considered the
`
`materials of record in IPR2017–02016 as of the time of signing this Declaration,
`
`including but not limited to the Petition (Paper 1) and Exhibits thereto, including the
`
`Declaration of Mr. Denning (Ex. 1002); U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002/0115453

`
`II.
`
`SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
`Based on my experience and expertise, discussed below, and my review
`6.
`
`of the Papers and evidence in this inter partes review, it is my opinion that none of
`
`claims 1-30 of the ’358 patent is obvious in view of the cited art.
`

`
`
`
`
`III. BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
`In formulating my opinions, I have relied upon my training, knowledge,
`7.
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`and experience in the relevant art. A copy of my current curriculum vitae is provided
`
`as Ex. 2002, and it provides a comprehensive description of my academic and em-
`
`ployment history over the last thirty-plus years.
`
`8.
`
`I have over 30 years of experience in wireless location services, includ-
`
`ing experience implementing Wireless 911 (E911) systems and designing, imple-
`
`menting, and managing numerous location-based service (LBS) applications such as
`
`family tracking and fleet, worker, and asset tracking management. I am currently the
`
`President of the company E911-LBS Consulting, and I have been with the company
`
`since 2002. As the President of E911-LBS Consulting, I provide services across the
`
`entire wireless value chain, particularly with respect to technology and business stra-
`
`tegic planning and product design and development associated with LBS, Global
`
`Positioning Satellite (GPS) systems, E911, Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS),
`
`Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), beacon, and other location determination
`
`and sensing technologies and services.
`
`9.
`
`I have extensive expertise in all aspects of LBS delivery across the
`
`wireless location ecosystem including enabling network, map data, geospatial plat-
`
`form, chipset, data management, device, and location determination infrastructure
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`and integration providers. I am an expert in all related aspects of LBS, including data
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`privacy and security management.
`
`10. For example, I managed the development and launch of several con-
`
`sumer-oriented LBS applications including mobile social networking, family track-
`
`ing and local search for a major wireless carrier (AT&T). This work included the
`
`development of corporate-wide location data privacy policies and their systemic im-
`
`plementation for all LBS customers. My work in both data privacy and mobile social
`
`networking resulted in my co-inventing a patent in this field titled "Method and Ap-
`
`paratus for Providing Mobile Social Networking Privacy." (U.S. Patent Number
`
`8,613,109, issued on December 17, 2013). This patent also involved obtaining con-
`
`sent from account owners for location tracking and providing periodic notifications
`
`to account members that their location was being tracked.
`
`11.
`
`I also managed the launch, updates to, and ongoing product manage-
`
`ment of numerous business mobile resource management (MRM) products on behalf
`
`of AT&T. These products include applications and supporting subsystems for field
`
`worker tracking and management, fleet/vehicle tracking and management, and asset
`
`tracking and management. Several of these products were targeted at the freight
`
`hauling/delivery tracking and management industry.
`
`12.
`
`I also have a great deal of experience related to E911 systems. For ex-
`
`ample, in 2003-2004, I consulted with AT&T Wireless on their implementation of
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`E911 systems. Specifically, I led the development of implementation and monitoring
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`of systems in AT&T Wireless Western Region as part of their deployment of TDOA
`
`(Time Difference of Arrival) non-GPS E911 network location infrastructure to meet
`
`the wireless E911 location requirements mandated by the FCC. In 2004-2005, I
`
`worked with NAVTEQ, a key provider of LBS and E911 location map data, in de-
`
`veloping their application developer ecosystem and website, providing developers
`
`with access to all of NAVTEQ’s product and technical resources for developing lo-
`
`cation-related applications, including data products involving 911 GIS (Geograph-
`
`ical Information Systems).
`
`13.
`
`I have authored multiple books on wireless location, including:
`
`• The Definitive Guide to GPS, RFID, Wi-Fi, and Other Wireless Location-
`
`Based Services (2005 and 2009 versions);
`
`• The Definitive Guide to Wireless E911; and
`
`• The Definitive Guide to Mobile Positioning and Location Management
`
`(co-author).
`
`14.
`
`I received a B.S. degree, in Electrical Engineering, from Purdue Uni-
`
`versity in 1983 with top honors. I received a MBA degree, in Information Systems
`
`Management, from The University of Texas at Austin in 1987, also with top honors.
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`IV. LEGAL STANDARDS
`In preparing my analysis, I have applied the legal standards described
`15.
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`below, which were provided to me by counsel for the Patent Owner. I have been
`
`provided with an understanding of the legal standards sufficient to conduct the anal-
`
`ysis given in this report.
`
`A. My Understanding Of Claim Construction
`
`16.
`
`I understand that, during an inter partes review, claims are to be given
`
`their broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification as would be read
`
`by a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art (“POSITA”). I understand that only
`
`those terms that are in controversy need be expressly construed, and then only to the
`
`extent necessary to resolve the controversy. At this time it appears that no terms
`
`require express interpretation. Decision 6–7.
`
`B. My Understanding of Obviousness
`
`17.
`
`I understand that a patent claim is invalid if the claimed invention
`
`would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the field at the time the
`
`application was filed. This means that even if all of the requirements of the claim
`
`cannot be found expressly in a single prior art reference that would anticipate the
`
`claim, the claim can still be invalid.
`
`6
`
`
`
`18. As part of this inquiry, I have been asked to consider the level of ordi-
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`
`
`nary skill in the field that someone would have had at the time the claimed invention
`
`was made. In deciding the level of ordinary skill, I considered the following:
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`the levels of education and experience of persons working in the field;
`
`the types of problems encountered in the field; and
`
`the sophistication of the technology.
`
`19. To obtain a patent, a claimed invention must have, as of the priority
`
`date, been nonobvious in view of the prior art in the field. I understand that an in-
`
`vention is obvious when the differences between the subject matter sought to be
`
`patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have
`
`been obvious at the time the invention was made to a POSITA.
`
`20.
`
`I understand that to prove that prior art or a combination of prior art
`
`renders a patent obvious, it is necessary to (1) identify the particular references that,
`
`singly or in combination, make the patent obvious; (2) specifically identify which
`
`elements of the patent claim appear in each of the asserted references; and (3) ex-
`
`plain how the prior art references could have been combined in order to create the
`
`inventions claimed in the asserted claim.
`
`21.
`
`I also understand that prior art references can be combined under sev-
`
`eral different circumstances. For example, it is my understanding that one such cir-
`
`cumstance is when a proposed combination of prior art references results in a system
`
`7
`
`
`
`
`that represents a predictable variation, which is achieved using prior art elements
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`according to their established functions. It is also my understanding that prior art
`
`references can be combined when the combination could be performed using known
`
`techniques, and if the corresponding results would have been predictable to a
`
`POSITA.
`
`22.
`
`I further understand that whether there is a reasonable expectation of
`
`success from combining references in a particular way is also relevant to the analy-
`
`sis. I understand there may be a number of rationales that may support a conclusion
`
`of obviousness, including:
`
`• Combining prior art elements according to known methods to yield pre-
`
`dictable results;
`
`• Substitution of one known element for another to obtain predictable re-
`
`sults;
`
`• Use of known technique to improve similar devices (methods, or products)
`
`in the same way;
`
`• Applying a known technique to a known device (method, or product) ready
`
`for improvement to yield predictable results;
`
`• "Obvious to try" – choosing from a finite number of identified, predictable
`
`solutions, with a reasonable expectation of success;
`
`8
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`• Known work in one field of endeavor may prompt variations of it for use
`
`in either the same field or a different one based on design incentives or
`
`other market forces if the variations are predictable to one of ordinary skill
`
`in the art; or
`
`• Some teaching, suggestion, or motivation in the prior art that would have
`
`led one of ordinary skill to modify the prior art reference or to combine
`
`prior art teachings to arrive at the claimed invention.
`
`23.
`
`I understand that it is not proper to use hindsight to combine references
`
`or elements of references to reconstruct the invention using the claims as a guide.
`
`My analysis of the prior art is made as of the time the invention was made.
`
`24.
`
`I understand that certain objective indicia can be important evidence
`
`regarding whether a patent is obvious or nonobvious. Such indicia include: commer-
`
`cial success of products covered by the patent claims; a long-felt need for the inven-
`
`tion; failed attempts by others to make the invention; copying of the invention by
`
`others in the field; unexpected results achieved by the invention as compared to the
`
`closest prior art; praise of the invention by the infringer or others in the field; the
`
`taking of licenses under the patent by others; expressions of surprise by experts and
`
`those skilled in the art at the making of the invention; and the patentee proceeded
`
`contrary to the accepted wisdom of the prior art.
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`V. LEVEL OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`I understand that a person of ordinary skill in the art is one who is pre-
`25.
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`sumed to be aware of all pertinent art, thinks along conventional wisdom in the art,
`
`and is a person of ordinary creativity. Petitioner proposed defining a person of ordi-
`
`nary skill in the art (“POSITA”) as “a person having at least a bachelor’s degree in
`
`electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related disci-
`
`pline, and two to three years of relevant experience in the fields of location/naviga-
`
`tion and telecommunications, such as experience with mobile networks and devices.
`
`Additional education might substitute for some for the experience and substantial
`
`experience might substitute for some of the educational background.” Petition 16. I
`
`have been instructed to accept this definition.
`
`26.
`
`I believe that I am qualified to provide opinions as to what a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would have understood, known, or concluded at the time of
`
`the filing of the application for ’358 patent.
`
`VI. OVERVIEW OF THE ’659 PATENT
`27. The ’358 patent is directed to systems and methods for providing noti-
`
`fication to and receiving consent from a user whose mobile device's location is to be
`
`obtained. Ex. 1001 at 1:9-11.
`
`10
`
`
`
`28. An illustration is shown of an exemplary system 100 for providing user
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`
`
`notification and receiving user consent
`
`to obtaining location information of a
`
`mobile device 110 of the user. Id. at
`
`FIG. 1. The system 100 includes a com-
`
`munications interface 120 configured
`
`for communication with the mobile de-
`
`vice 110. The communications inter-
`
`face 120 is configured to participate in telephone calls with the mobile device 110.
`
`Id. at 1:56-62.
`
`29. Validation logic 130 is configured to identify the mobile device 110 at
`
`least in part by obtaining an identifier associated with the mobile device 110. Ob-
`
`taining the identifier associated with the mobile device 110 ensures that the right
`
`party, the user, is notified that location information of the mobile device 110 will be
`
`used and that the right party, the user, consents to the use of the location information.
`
`Id. at 4:3-10.
`
`30. The system 100 further includes a notification logic 140 that is config-
`
`ured to communicate a signal including data representing an automated voice mes-
`
`sage. In one embodiment, the automated voice message provides a notice to the user
`
`of the mobile device 110 that includes information indicating to the user that
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`consenting to the obtaining of the location information of the mobile device 110
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`would result in the location information of the mobile device 110 being disclosed.
`
`Id. at 4:27-35.
`
`31.
`
`In one embodiment, the location information provider 150 is a wireless
`
`service provider. In another embodiment, the location information provider 150 is a
`
`third party that receives the location information from the wireless service provider.
`
`In yet another embodiment, the location information provider 150 is a party other
`
`than the wireless service provider or a third party. Id. at 5:22-28.
`
`32.
`
`In one embodiment, the communications interface 120 is configured to
`
`communicate the location information to the obtaining party 160 by transmitting the
`
`location information of the mobile device to the obtaining party 160 through com-
`
`puter communication. Id. at 5:43-47.
`
`33. Utilizing the exemplary system, the ’358 patent further describes a
`
`method for obtaining consent of the mo-
`
`bile device 110 user to obtain her loca-
`
`tion information. Id. at FIG. 2 (right). At
`
`210, the method 200 includes participat-
`
`ing in a telephone call with the mobile
`
`device. In one embodiment, the user of
`
`the mobile device initiates the telephone call. In another embodiment, the user of the
`
`12
`
`
`
`
`mobile device receives the telephone call. At 220, the method 200 includes identi-
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`fying the mobile device at least in part by obtaining an identifier associated with the
`
`mobile device. In one embodiment, the identifier is a telephone number associated
`
`with the mobile device. Id. at 7:62-8:3.
`
`34. At 230, the method 200 includes transmitting to the mobile device a
`
`signal including data representing an automated voice message. The automated
`
`voice message communicates to the user of the mobile device at least one of: (a) a
`
`notice including information indicating that consenting to the obtaining of the loca-
`
`tion information of the mobile device would result in the location information of the
`
`mobile device being disclosed, or (b) a location at which to find the notice. Id. at
`
`8:17-24.
`
`35. At 240, the method 200 includes receiving from the user via the mobile
`
`device consent for obtaining the location information of the mobile device. Id. at
`
`8:25-27.
`
`36.
`
`In some embodiments, when the location information of the mobile de-
`
`vice 110 is being disclosed, the system is further configured to periodically generate
`
`and to periodically communicate a reminder notification message reminding the user
`
`that the location information of the mobile device 110 is currently being disclosed.
`
`Id. at 6:64-67.
`
`13
`
`
`
`37. The ’358 patent further describes a method for the mobile device 110
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`
`
`user to revoke consent for obtaining her location information. Id. at FIG. 3 (below).
`
`For example, at 310, the method 300 in-
`
`cludes participating in a telephone call with
`
`the mobile device. In one embodiment, the
`
`user of the mobile device initiates the tele-
`
`phone call. Id. at 8:58-63.
`
`38. At 320, the method 300 in-
`
`cludes identifying the mobile device at least in part by obtaining an identifier asso-
`
`ciated with the mobile device. In one embodiment, the identifier is a telephone num-
`
`ber associated with the mobile device. Id. at 8:64-9:1.
`
`39. At 330, the method 300 includes communicating to the user via an au-
`
`tomated voice message transmitted to the mobile device information indicating that
`
`consent to obtain the location information is revocable via the mobile device. Id. at
`
`9:8-11.
`
`40. At 340, the method 300 includes receiving from the mobile device rev-
`
`ocation of the consent to obtain the location information of the mobile device. Id. at
`
`9:8-11.

`[0050]; FIG. 4 (right). The LBSC 100 com-
`
`prises a processing system coupled to an in-
`
`terface system. Id. at [0035]. The LBSC 100
`
`is connected to the wireless network 400, the short message service center (SMSC)
`
`403 and the LFE 402. Id. at [0051]. The SMSC 403 could be a conventional device
`
`that allows short text messages to be exchanged between the wireless devices 102-
`
`104 and other networks or network elements such as the LBSC 100. Id. at [0053].
`
`43. The wireless devices, 102-104, could be any wireless devices config-
`
`ured to exchange information over a wireless network including conventional wire-
`
`less telephones, personal data assistants, and notebook computers. Id. at [0039].
`
`15
`
`
`
`44. The wireless communication network 400 could be a conventional
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`
`
`wireless network that provides wireless communication services. Some examples of
`
`the wireless communication services include personal communications service, mi-
`
`crowave multipoint distribution service, millimeter wave service, code division mul-
`
`tiple access service, and time division multiple access service. Id. at [0052].
`
`45. The Internet user device 405 could be any device configured to connect
`
`and exchange information over the Internet 401. Some examples of the Internet user
`
`device 405 include without limitation, a desktop computer, a notebook computer,
`
`and a personal data assistant. The connection from the LBSC 100 to the Internet user
`
`device 405 is over the Internet 401 using an Internet browser and Internet service
`
`provider. Id. at [0053].
`
`46. Figure 6, below, illustrates the Poulin system from a wireless device. A
`
`call is received in the LBSC 100 from a wireless device, e.g. 102, over the wireless
`
`network 400 and place to the service manager 304. Id. at FIG 6. Responsive to re-
`
`ceiving the call, the service manager 304 identifies the calling device 102 to deter-
`
`mine if the device 102 is known or registered with the LBSC 100. Id. at [0065].

`
`
`
`47.
`
`If the service manager 304 determines that the device 102 is not regis-
`
`tered with the LBSC 100, a profile request message is sent to the mobile device 102.
`
`It could be a voice message provided using the IVR 309 or could be a short text
`
`message using the SMSC 403. Responsive to the profile information request mes-
`
`sage, the profile information is provided to the service manager 304 using the wire-
`
`less device 102. The profile information might be an abbreviated profile received for
`
`the purpose of registering the device 102, and the subscriber would be prompted to
`
`provide additional profile information via the Internet registration process of FIG. 5
`
`at a later date. Id. at [0066].
`
`17
`
`
`
`48. The profile defines permission on when, where, and how other author-
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`
`
`ized subscribers (members of the group) may obtain an individual subscriber’s own
`
`location and status information. For example, permission may be granted according
`
`to a time of day, day of the week, e.g. Monday-Friday from 4:00 PM-1:00 AM or
`
`always. Permission may also be granted within a specified geography, e.g. city,
`
`county, country or arbitrary subscriber defined area. Id. at [0023]. As an override to
`
`existing rules contained in the subscriber’s profile, the communication service also
`
`permits the subscriber to globally turn ON or turn OFF permission to be located and
`
`serviced. Id. at [0024].
`
`49. Once a subscriber is activated, Poulin describes various located-based
`
`services that can be offered:
`
`The present service is designed to provide fun finding meeting areas and
`venues where subscribers can spontaneously meet, or plan to meet, with
`other subscribers. The service may also serve as an introductory meeting ser-
`vice for subscribers interested in a casual date or impromptu meeting. Sub-
`scribers use their wireless devices such as telephones, personal data assis-
`tants, and notebook computers to obtain the service area information, venue
`information, and subscriber information. Active subscribers may also com-
`municate with other active subscribers using their wireless devices by send-
`ing short messages or placing voice calls. It should be noted that the contact
`information for other active subscribers is provided as part of the subscriber
`information, which subscribers have consented too, so that subscribers can
`feel comfortable sending a short message or placing a voice call to other ac-
`tive subscribers, which they may not previously have known. Advanta-
`geously, the present service provides subscribers with access to information
`on villages that they are located in or proximately located too as well as
`events, attractions and other subscribers located in or near the same village.

`Id. at [0029]. Poulin also describes a procedure for a subscriber to deactivate her
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`subscription. After a pre-determined period of time, the service manager 304 pro-
`
`vides a service deactivation message to the device 102. Depending on the sub-
`
`scriber’s response, the service manager 304 processes the response from the wire-
`
`less device 102 to deactivate or continue providing the service. If the service is de-
`
`activated, then no additional information is provided to the device 102. Id. at
`
`[0073].
`
`B. Karp (Ex. 1006)
`
`50. Karp is entitled “Visit Verification Method and System” and is directed
`
`to a system and method for tracking clients as they visit different locations. Ex. 1006
`
`at Abstract. Karp is more fully described below in Figure 1 and the accompanying
`
`description, but petitioner relies on Karp solely for the narrow proposition that a
`
`POSITA would know that a mobile telephone could be identified using its automatic
`
`number identification. Petition 15 and 55.

`
`
`
`51. The system of Karp includes a public switched telephone network
`
`(PSTN) for interfacing a computer 120 with wireless phone 112 and/or a standard
`
`plain old telephone service (POTS) phone 114. Ex. 1006 at FIG 1. The PSTN in-
`
`cludes wired segments 118A and wireless segments 118B. The wired segment in-
`
`cludes central offices 130A-B connected over a digital backbone 124C, such as the
`
`integrated services digital network (ISDN). Central office 130B is connected by mo-
`
`dem link 132 to computer 120. Central office 130A is connected by analog sub-
`
`scriber line 124A to fixed phone 114 located at call site 150A. The wireless segment
`
`118B includes a plurality of cells 128A-B each represented by a transceiver. Each
`
`of the cells is connected by a wired/wireless link 124B to central office 130A. Com-
`
`munications between cellular phone 112 at call site 150B and computer 120 are made
`
`across both wired and wireless segments of the PSTN. Either the fixed or wireless
`
`20
`
`
`
`
`phone may provide an identification device. Biometric input device 116 is shown
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`connected to fixed phone 114. Id. at 3:40-59.
`
`52. The computer 120 includes a timer 138 and a storage device 136. The
`
`storage device includes reports 122, databases 134, and program code 146 for im-
`
`plementing processes 140. The databases may include employee biological parame-
`
`ters, geographic data, and payroll information. Id. at 3:60-65.
`
`53. The computer implements processes 140 for determining on the basis
`
`of information from a packet 144 received from the client: who called, when they
`
`called, where they called from, what they did when they were at the location, and
`
`how long they were at the location. Caller/clients 11A-B have their respective unique
`
`biometric parameters 142A-B. Each of the clients has a unique biometric parameter
`
`that include, for example: voice print, finger print, or iris print. Id. at 3:66-4:7.
`
`54. Biometric input device 116 allows a client to enter biometric parame-
`
`ters other than voice. For instance, the identification device can be used to electron-
`
`ically transmit information concerning the client’s fingerprints and/or iris print. The
`
`identification devices can be included directly on the phones 112-114 or included in
`
`a base station included at the recipient’s location. The identification device can also
`
`be carried by the clients 11A-B and include an interface which allows the identifi-
`
`cation device to communicate with the PSTN 118. Id. at 4:8-17.

`
`In operation, the caller/clients 110A/B place a call upon arrival at the
`
`IPR2017-02016
`U.S. Patent No. 8,275,358
`
`
`
`respective call sites 150A-B. The call site may be the home of a person who is home-
`
`bound or receiving a visit from a nurse, or it may be a job site for a sales call, repair
`
`or for delivery of goods. Accordingly, the recipient can be an individ
