`
`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

`

`occurred “as early as” certain dates) and support the alleged conception dates and reduction to
`
`practice dates associated with the asserted claims, and by failing to describe the facts and
`
`circumstances surrounding disclosures of the claimed subject matter before March 23, 2004.
`
`Discovery still to be taken includes but is not limited to: document and deposition discovery of
`
`IOENGINE, the named inventor of the asserted patents, and/or other persons believed to possess
`
`relevant information, including without limitation authors of prior art references or inventors of
`
`prior art products or services believed to have knowledge, documentation, and/or corroborating
`
`evidence concerning the prior art identified in these initial invalidity contentions and/or
`
`additional prior art.
`
`
`
`PayPal is also not able to know the extent to which IOENGINE may contend that
`
`limitations of the asserted claims are not disclosed in the prior art identified by PayPal in these
`
`initial invalidity contentions. Likewise, PayPal is incapable of knowing the extent to which
`
`IOENGINE may argue that one or more prior art references identified in these initial invalidity
`
`contentions are not prior art to one or more asserted claims based on, for example, its vaguely
`
`alleged pre-filing conception and reduction to practice dates, or otherwise. To the extent that
`
`IOENGINE makes such contentions, other prior art references that would disclose, practice,
`
`anticipate and/or render obvious the allegedly missing limitations may become relevant, and
`
`PayPal reserves the right to demonstrate that any prior art identified in these initial invalidity
`
`contentions or otherwise constitutes prior art and discloses, practices, or renders obvious the
`
`asserted claims.
`
`
`
`PayPal also reserves the right to rely on any documents produced, prior art identified, and
`
`invalidity contentions or challenges made, by PayPal or other parties in prior litigations or
`
`proceedings, or in any pending or future litigations or proceedings, involving any of the asserted

`

`patents (or related patents or applications), including any reexamination, inter partes review, or
`
`other challenge to the patentability of the subject matter of the asserted patents at any patent
`
`office. Such litigations or proceedings include, but are not limited to: IOENGINE LLC v.
`
`Interactive Media Corp., Case No. 14-1571 (D. Del.); IOENGINE LLC v. GlassBridge
`
`Enterprises, Inc., Case No. 14-1572 (D. Del.); Ingenico Inc. v. IOENGINE LLC, Case No. 18-
`
`452 (D. Del.); IPR2019-00416; IPR2019-00584; IPR2019-00879; IPR2019-00884; IPR2019-
`
`00885; IPR2019-00886; IPR2019-00887; IPR2019-00906; IPR2019-00907; IPR2019-00930;
`
`and IPR2019-00931.
`
`
`
`These initial invalidity contentions are based on PayPal’s current understanding of the
`
`asserted claims and IOENGINE’s apparent construction of those claims in its infringement
`
`contentions. Thus, these initial invalidity contentions, including the attached charts, may reflect
`
`alternative positions as to claim construction and scope. PayPal’s inclusion of prior art that
`
`would anticipate or render obvious the asserted claims based on IOENGINE’s apparent
`
`constructions or on any other construction is not an adoption or endorsement of such
`
`constructions by PayPal. Nothing in these initial invalidity contentions should be construed as
`
`an admission that PayPal agrees with IOENGINE’s apparent claim constructions. Similarly,
`
`nothing in these initial invalidity contentions shall be construed as an admission regarding the
`
`application of the asserted claims to any of PayPal’s accused products. In the absence of a claim
`
`construction ruling, PayPal’s initial invalidity contentions may be made in the alternative, and
`
`are not necessarily intended to be consistent with one another, and should be viewed accordingly.
`
`PayPal reserves all rights to further modify and/or supplement the positions and information in
`
`these initial invalidity contentions after the Court has construed the asserted claims or as
`
`otherwise appropriate or permitted by the Court.

`

`
`
`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.
