`UNIFIED PATENTS CHALLENGES CLOUDING IP PATENT SEEKS TO PUSH
`PATENT TROLLS OUT OF CLOUD STORAGE
`Unified Patents launches next phase ofanti-troll solution and files first-of-its-kind Inter-Partes Review in defense of
`cloud storage technologies
`A copy of the filing can be found here
`Los Altos, CA - September 17, 2013- Unified Patents (Unified) announced today it has filed an Inter-Partes Review
`(IPR) with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) requesting review of Clouding IP'S U. S. Patent No. 6, 738, 799
`("'799 Patent").
`The IPR proceeding is a new PTO alternative to the high cost of patent litigation that is being utilized to break the
`business model of "patent trolls."
`The '799 Patent claims allegedly cover file synchronization technology deployed in the solutions of some of the most
`successful cloud storage companies. Unified's request states that prior art references available before the 799
`patent's earliest priority date raise substantial new questions about the patentability of the patent's claims.
`"Clouding IP has gained a reputation as a patent 'troll' and is pursuing litigation against a number of defendants for
`allegedly infringing a patent we firmly believe to be invalid, " said Kevin Jakel, founder of Unified. "We want all non-
`practicing entities (NPEs) to know that Unified will vigorously challenge invalid patents being asserted in cloud
`storage. We are pleased to be at the forefront of protecting strategic technologies from NPE activity."
`Clouding IP'S '799 patent has been the subject of two previous IPRs (IPR2012-00073 and IPR2013-00261) filed by
`Oracle. In the prior proceedings, the PTO instituted trial for the first IPR and found the claims of the '799 to be
`reasonably likely to be unpatentable. Clouding IP subsequently attempted to amend its claims, thus conceding
`unpatentability of the challenged claims; yet Clouding IP continues its costly assertion of the '799 patent in district
`court. The second IPR challenged additional claims but, before consideration by the PTO, both IPRs ended in late July
`as a result of a settlement between Oracle and Clouding IP.
`In addition to Oracle, Clouding IP has asserted this patent in district court litigation against Apple, Google, Microsoft,
`Amazon, Rackspace, SAF> Dropbox, Verizon, and EMC. Clouding IP has also sued over a dozen additional companies
`based on other patents.
`"We are confident the Patent Trial and Appeal Board will institute review of the '799 patent and cancel the challenged
`claims, " commented lead counsel Michael Kiklis, a partner with Oblon Spivak's leading post-grant practice group. "We
`are excited to support Unified Patents in its decision to challenge invalid patents in the hands of companies like
`Clouding IP."
`This new IPR against the '799 patent marks the first for Unified's recently launched Cloud Storage Micro-Pool, which
`introduces a cost-effective solution for companies to protect strategic technologies from NPE encroachment, like
`cloud storage. Unified's solution uniquely monitors a protected technology on behalf of large and small companies to
`identify NPE activity early, and efficiently confronts invalid patents using a host of defensive and offensive strategies.
