`
`DEFENDANT PAYPAL HOLDINGS, INC.’S INITIAL INVALIDITY CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to Paragraph 4(d) of the District of Delaware Default Standard for Discovery,
`
`including Discovery of Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”) (“Default Standard”) and in
`
`accordance with the Scheduling Order of January 28, 2019 (“Scheduling Order”), Defendant
`
`PayPal Holdings, Inc. (“Defendant” or “PayPal”) provides the following initial invalidity
`
`contentions for the claims that Plaintiff IOENGINE, LLC (“Plaintiff” or “IOENGINE”) asserted
`
`in its Default Standard Paragraph 4(c) amended infringement contentions, served on March 1,
`
`2019 (collectively, the “asserted claims”).
`
`I.
`
`Introductory Statement
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Default Standard and the Scheduling Order, these initial invalidity
`
`contentions are preliminary and PayPal reserves all rights to supplement and/or amend its
`
`contentions. Further, PayPal’s initial invalidity contentions apply only to the asserted claims
`
`identified in IOENGINE’s March 1, 2019 amended infringement contentions. In particular,
`
`IOENGINE identified, and PayPal provides initial invalidity contentions for, the following
`
`asserted claims:
`
`
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,539,047 (“the ’047 patent”) claims 1, 4, 12, 24, and 25;
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,059,969 (“the ’969 patent”) claims 2, 3, 4, and 7; and

`

`
`
`PayPal provides pinpoint citations to exemplary portions of the prior art for the purpose
`
`of fairly disclosing the manner in which the prior art references meet the claim limitations. Such
`
`citations should not be construed to mean that other portions of the prior art references are not
`
`relevant to the invalidity of the claims. PayPal specifically reserves the right to rely on the
`
`entirety of any or all of the prior art references—whether charted or not charted—as a basis for
`
`asserting invalidity of the asserted claims and/or as necessary to supplement its invalidity
`
`contentions with additional citations and evidence.
`
`A.
`
`Anticipation by Patents and Printed Publications
`
`
`
`Based on PayPal’s understanding of IOENGINE’s infringement contentions, at least one
`
`or more asserted claims are invalid as anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § 102 in view of the patent
`
`and printed publication prior art references listed below as indicated and discussed in Exhibit A,
`
`as well as any methods or systems which embody the concepts disclosed in those references.
`
`Exhibit A is a series of charts, numbered A-1 through A-8, that identify specific examples of
`
`where each claim limitation is found in a particular reference.

`PayPal specifically asserts the references in the table above as anticipatory references
`
`under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 (a), (b), and/or (e), but also assert that invention of such systems and/or
`
`methods prior to the invention date of the asserted claims may also constitute prior art under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 102(g), which will be confirmed as discovery progresses.

`November 26, 2013, share common inventors and a similar disclosure with Elazar, and so
