`
`DECLARATION OF LUCILLE MARIE DE BELLIS
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Declaration of Lucille Marie De Bellis
`
`I, Lucille Marie De Bellis, declare as follows:
`
`1. My name is Lucille Marie (“Missy”) De Bellis, and I live in Palm Beach,
`
`Florida. I am over the age of 18, and I make this declaration based on my
`
`personal knowledge.
`
`2.
`
`I make this Declaration in support of Patent Owner’s Reply to Petitioner’s
`
`Opposition to Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend in the matter of IPR2018-
`
`00044.
`
`3.
`
`I am not being compensated for this Declaration. I hold no interest in Vilox,
`
`LLC or in the patent that I understand is the subject of this matter.
`
`4. My prior Declaration, Exhibit 2022, provides my relevant employment,
`
`experience, and connection to Dr. Joseph L. De Bellis, including my
`
`acquisition of information and evidence corroborating conception of the
`
`inventions disclosed and claimed in U.S. Patents 6,760,720 and 7,302,423, the
`
`later patent being the subject of this IPR.
`
`5.
`
`In addition to the conceptual descriptions noted in my prior Declaration, Dr.
`
`De Bellis described his truncation processes, as well as his iterative search
`
`processes, as enabling the display of all data entries that might be returned,
`
`for example, from a data base search, on a single display page. The truncation
`
`process would reduce the number of characters in an entry, which in turn

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Declaration of Lucille Marie De Bellis
`
`would result in fewer lines of data. As an example, he described a search of
`
`all cities in a State as collapsing to the alphabetic spectrum, A – P and R – Z,
`
`assuming that State had no city starting with the letter Q. Absence of the letter
`
`Q in the returned list would provide information that may be helpful to the
`
`user.
`
`6.
`
`Dr. De Bellis further explained that the displayed result list could be adapted
`
`to fit on any size display. For example, on a large computer screen, the search
`
`result list would have more entries than would a list for the same search but
`
`displayed on a small screen device such as on a wrist device.
`
`7.
`
`At the same time as he conceived of his truncation processes, Dr. De Bellis
`
`conceived of ways to make an iterative search displayable on any display by
`
`using an overlapping structure. Exhibit 2025, Figure 10 of the ‘720 Patent,
`
`referenced with my prior Declaration, shows this concept. As Exhibit 2025
`
`shows, each successive list slightly overlaps the preceding list. This overlap
`
`was forced because the horizontal space available for the display of the
`
`iterative search of Figure 10 had been reached; any further searches would
`
`have caused even greater overlap – what Dr. De Bellis referred to as
`
`“stacking.”
`
`8.
`
`Throughout the September-November 1999 timeframe, I witnessed the
`
`
`
`progress made by Dr. De Bellis and Mr. Freire in developing the search-on-
`Exhibit 2029 / Page 3

`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Declaration of Lucille Marie De Bellis
`
`the-fly system.
`
`9.
`
`By November 1999, Dr. De Bellis and Mr. Freire had created a database of
`
`movies and demonstrated how the database could be searched using the
`
`search-on-the- fly process and system. Mr. Freire also developed data bases
`
`from a phone book and from Federal databases related to health plans. The
`
`search-on-the-fly system used recognition rather than recall as the basis for its
`
`operation. Thus, a user could find the desired results from any starting point,
`
`such as searching the first name even if the last name was unknown. The user
`
`also could derive useful information from truncated data as well as “missing
`
`data” such as the lack of a Q is a truncated list of city names.
`
`10. As I stated in my prior Declaration, during a December 1999 visit by his patent
`
`attorneys, Dr. De Bellis demonstrated a fully functional version of his search-
`
`on-the-fly process and system. Exhibit 2025 is Figure 10 to U.S. Patent
`
`6,760,720, which I previously noted is a marked-up reproduction of a
`
`screenshot of an iterative search enabled by the search-on-the-fly system
`
`developed and demonstrated by Dr. De Bellis and Mr. Freire. Exhibit 2025
`
`shows an iterative search of the telephone book data base with truncated
`
`intermediate results and culminating in a display of (fictional) contact data for
`
`Dr. De Bellis.
