`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 316(d) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.121, Patent Owner
`
`Universal Secure Registry LLC (“PO”) submits this conditional motion (“Motion”)
`
`to substitute proposed claims 39-52 shown in Appendix A for original (i.e.,
`
`original) claims 1-4, 9, 16, 21-25, 31, 37, and 38 of U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`
`(“the ’539 Patent”) should any of claims 1-4, 9, 16, 21-25, 31, 37, and 38
`
`(“Challenged Claims”) be found unpatentable. That is, PO requests that for each
`
`original claim the Board deems invalid, the Board review and enter the
`
`corresponding substitute claim on a claim-by-claim basis. PO has conferred with
`
`the Board prior to filing this Motion, as required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.121, and the
`
`Board authorized the filing of this Motion in an email correspondence dated April
`
`11, 2019.
`
`The proposed substitute claims satisfy the requisite showing for a motion to
`
`amend, as they (1) “do not impermissibly enlarge the scope of the claims;” (2)
`
`present a “reasonable number of substitute claims;” (3) “do not introduce new
`
`subject matter;” and (4) “respond to a ground of unpatentability in the trial.” See 35
`
`U.S.C. § 316(d); 37 C.F.R. § 42.121. Patent Owner has thus met its burden of
`
`production. Aqua Products, Inc. v. Joseph Matal et al., Case No. 2015-1177 (Fed.
`
`Cir. Oct. 4, 2017) (en banc). Accordingly, should the Board find any original
`
`Challenged Claim unpatentable in this proceeding, PO respectfully requests that
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case No. IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`the Board grant this Motion to Amend with respect to each corresponding
`
`substitute claim presented herein.
`
`II.
`
`THE SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS ARE OF NARROWER SCOPE
`
`Sections 316(d)(3) and 41.121(a)(2)(ii) require that an amendment not
`
`“enlarge the scope of the claims of the patent . . . .” Here, the proposed substitute
`
`claims do not broaden the scope of the original claims. As shown in Appendix A
`
`below, all substitute claims include the same substantive claim limitations found in
`
`the original claims, and further
`
`include additional substantive features.
`
`Consequently, substitute claims 39-52 narrow the scope of the original claims.
`
`III. THE NUMBER OF SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS IS REASONABLE
`
`Sections 316(d)(1)(B) and 42.121(a)(3) require that, for each Challenged Claim,
`
`Patent Owner “propose a reasonable number of substitute claims.” There exists a
`
`“presumption…that only one substitute claim would be needed to replace each
`
`challenged claim.” § 42.121(a)(3). Consistent with this presumption, the present
`
`Motion provides one substitute claim for each Challenged Claim.
`
`IV. THE SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS ADD NO NEW SUBJECT MATTER
`
`The chart below includes a non-exhaustive list of citations where support
`
`can be found for the substitute claims from the original filing of the ’539 Patent
`
`(i.e., Ex. 2008 U.S. Appl. No. 11/768,729 (“’729 Application”)). The chart also
`
`provides support to a priority document, namely, U.S. non-provisional application
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case No. IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`
`09/810,703 (“’703 Application”).1 Ex. 2009.
`
`For example, with respect to claim limitations 39[b], 46[a], 51[c], and 52[b],
`
`the ’729 Application discloses that a secure registry receives a request for a
`
`transaction from a merchant provider
`
`that may
`
`include a
`
`time-varying
`
`multicharacter code and an indication of the merchant provider. See, e.g., Ex. 2008,
`
`’729 Application at 8:5-9:2, 9:25-10:11, 17:1-19:7, FIGS. 7-9; Ex. 2010,
`
`Jakobsson at ¶ 33.
`
`As to claim limitations 40[b] and 46[c], the ’729 Application describes how
`
`the transaction request can include a time value that represents when the time-
`
`varying multicharacter code was generated, and that the secure registry can then
`
`extract the time value from the request. See, e.g., Ex. 2008, ’729 Application at
`
`19:17-20:2 (“Alternatively, the electronic ID device may encode or encrypt the
`
`time with the number, the USR software being able to extract time when receiving
`
`the number from the merchant.”); see also id. at 17:7-13; Ex. 2010, Jakobsson at
`
`¶ 34.
`
`With respect to limitations 39[e] and 47[b], the ’729 Application describes
`
`that “The process of determining the requestor’s rights (602) typically involves
`
`validating the requestor’s identity and correlating the identity, the requested
`
`1 Appendix B maps the substitute claims provided in Appendix A to the
`
`corresponding claim notations used in the chart below.

`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`information and the access information 34 provided by the person to the USR
`
`database during the training process.” Ex. 2008, ’729 Application at 15:15-18; Ex.
`
`2010, Jakobsson at ¶ 35.
`
`As to limitations 39[h], 46[b], and 52[c], the ’729 Application discloses that
`
`the identity of the entity having secure data stored at the secure registry is verified
`
`using a biometric input of the entity. See, e.g., Ex. 2008, ’729 Application at 5:11-
`
`21, 12:20-28; Ex. 2010, Jakobsson at ¶ 36.
`
`As to limitations 52[f] and 52[g], the ’729 Application describes various
`
`examples where a credit card company or a bank receives account identifying
`
`information, such as an account number or a public ID code that are then used by
`
`the third party to obtain the account number from the secure registry. See, e.g., Ex.
`
`2008, ’729 Application at 17:11-22, 18:1-14, 19:1-7; Ex. 2010, Jakobsson at ¶ 37.
`
`As to limitations 39[c], 48[a], 51[b], 51[d], and 52[pre], the ’729
`
`Application describes a training process where a person, such as the entity for
`
`whom a transaction may later be performed, establishes communication with a
`
`universal secure registry database to enter basic information and other additional
`
`information, such as sensitive/secure data, into the secure registry database, and
`
`also specify access restrictions to the secure data. See, e.g., Ex. 2008, ’729
`
`Application at 14:1-15:9, FIG. 5; Ex. 2010, Jakobsson at ¶ 38. The ’729
`
`Application also provides many examples where, after the training process has
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case No. IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`been completed, an entity may engage in a transaction by providing a time-varying
`
`multicharacter code to a merchant, which in turn communicates with the secure
`
`registry system either directly or indirectly through a third party, such as a credit
`
`card company. See, e.g., Ex. 2008, ’729 Application at 16:28-20:15, FIGS. 7-10.
`
`During this transaction process, the secure registry system does not communicate
`
`with the entity on whose behalf a transaction is being performed; such
`
`communications were, for example, terminated after the training process. See id.;
`
`Ex. 2010, Jakobsson at ¶ 38.
`
`Similar support for the claim limitations above and other limitations can be
`
`found in the ’703 Application, as shown below.

`
`THE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS RESPOND TO AND
`OVERCOME THE GROUNDS OF RECORD
`
`The proposed substitute claims also “respond to a ground of unpatentability
`
`involved in the trial.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2). Substitute independent claims 39,
`
`46, 51, and 52, and any and all substitute dependent claims depending therefrom,
`
`respond to the sole ground of unpatentability set forth in the Petition. Paper 2 at
`
`17-62. Specifically, the amendments included in the substitute claims further
`
`differentiate the claims from the cited art: Brener in view of Weiss further in view
`
`of Desai. Ex. 2010, Jakobsson at ¶ 100. For instance, Brener does not teach that a
`
`transaction request is received at a secure registry from a provider without the
`
`secure registry system communicating with the entity on whose behalf a
`
`transaction is to be performed. Id. Moreover, Weiss does not teach that the
`
`transaction request includes a time value representative of when the time-varying
`
`multicharacter code was generated. Id. Additionally, none of the references
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case No. IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`describe entity identity verification using a biometric. Thus, substitute claims 39,
`
`46, 51, and 52, and claims depending therefrom, are novel and nonobvious over the
`
`cited art. Id.
`
`VI. CONCLUSION
`
`It is respectfully submitted that the above conditional substitute claims should
`
`be found patentable.

`least in part on the indication of the provider and the time-varying
`multicharacter code of the transaction request; and[[, and to]]
`allow or not allow access to the secure data associated with the entity
`including information required to enable the transaction based on the
`determined compliance with any access restrictions for the provider, the
`information including account identifying information, wherein the account
`identifying information is not provided to the provider and the account
`identifying information is provided to a third party to enable or deny the
`transaction with the provider without providing the account identifying
`information to the provider; and
`wherein the identity of the entity is verified using a biometric.

`wherein the transaction includes a service provided by the provider, wherein said
`provider's service includes delivery, wherein the information is an address to which
`an item is to be delivered to the entity, wherein the system receives the time-
`varying multicharacter code, and wherein the system uses the time-varying
`multicharacter code to obtain the appropriate address for delivery of the item by
`the third party.
`
`43. (Proposed Substitute for Claim 9) The system as claimed in claim 39[[1]],
`wherein the information includes personal identification information regarding the
`entity.
`
`44. (Proposed Substitute for Claim 16) The system of claim 39[[1]], wherein the
`account identifying information includes an account number.
`
`45. (Proposed Substitute for Claim 21) The system of claim 39[[1]], wherein the
`identity of the entity is unknown until the time-varying code is mapped to the
`identity by the processor.
`
`46. (Proposed Substitute for Claim 22) A method for providing information to a
`provider to enable transactions between the provider and entities who have secure
`data stored in a secure registry in which each entity is identified by a time-varying
`multicharacter code, the method comprising:
`receiving from the provider a transaction request including at least the time-
`varying multicharacter code for an entity on whose behalf a transaction is to take
`
`A2
`
`

`

`Case No. IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`place and an indication of the provider requesting the transaction, an identity of the
`entity on whose behalf the transaction is to take place having been verified using a
`biometric of the entity, and the transaction request further including a time value
`representative of when the time-varying multicharacter code was generated;
`extracting the time value from the transaction request;
`mapping the time-varying multicharacter code to an identity of the entity
`using the time-varying multicharacter code and the time value;
`determining compliance with any access restrictions for the provider to
`secure data of the entity for completing the transaction based at least in part on the
`indication of the provider and the time-varying multicharacter code of the
`transaction request;
`accessing information of the entity required to perform the transaction based
`on the determined compliance with any access restrictions for the provider, the
`information including account identifying information;
`providing the account identifying information to a third party without
`providing the account identifying information to the provider to enable or deny the
`transaction; and
`enabling or denying the provider to perform the transaction without the
`provider's knowledge of the account identifying information.
`
`47. (Proposed Substitute for Claim 23) The method of claim 44[[22]], wherein the
`act of receiving the time-varying multicharacter code comprises receiving the time-
`varying multicharacter code transmitted via a secure electronic transmission
`device, and the method further comprises:
`prior to determining compliance with any access restrictions for the
`provider, validating an identity of the provider.
`
`48. (Proposed Substitute for Claim 24) The method of claim 44[[22]], wherein the
`transaction request is received at the secure registry system without the secure
`registry system communicating with the entity on whose behalf a transaction is to
`be performed, and the act of receiving the time-varying multicharacter code
`comprises receiving an encrypted multicharacter code, and wherein the method
`further comprises decrypting the encrypted multicharacter code.
