`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Petitioner PayPal, Inc. (“PayPal”) requests IPR of claims 1-22 and 24-29 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,059,969 (the “’969 patent,” Ex. 1002).
`
`II. MANDATORY NOTICES
`A. Real Party-In-Interest
`
`The real parties-in-interest are PayPal, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
`
`PayPal Holdings, Inc., and PayPal Holdings, Inc.
`
`B. Related Matters
`
`The following judicial or administrative matters may affect, or be affected by,
`
`a decision in this proceeding: IOENGINE, LLC v. PayPal Holdings, Inc., No. 1:18-
`
`cv-00452-WCB (D. Del. Mar. 23, 2018) (the “PayPal case”) and Ingenico Inc. v
`
`IOENGINE, LLC, 1:18-cv-00826-WCB (D. Del. June 1, 2018) (the “Ingenico
`
`case”). In both cases, patent owner IOENGINE, LLC (“IONEGINE”) asserts
`
`infringement of the ’969 patent. In addition to the ’969 patent, IOENGINE is
`
`asserting infringement of two additional patents related to the ’969 patent (i.e., U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 8,539,047 and 9,774,703) separately against PayPal and Ingenico in
`
`those litigations. Further, U.S. Application Nos. 15/712,714 and 15/712,780 are
`
`continuation applications pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that
`
`claim priority to the ’969 patent.

`
`The pre-AIA §102(b) date for the ’969 patent is March 23, 2003, based on an
`
`earliest effective filing date of March 23, 2004. Shmueli is prior art under §102(b)
`
`and Abbott and Cannata are prior art under §102(e).
`
`Ground 1: Claims 1-10, 13-22, and 24-29 are obvious under §103 in view of
`
`Abbott in combination with Shmueli.
`
`Ground 2: Claims 11-12 are obvious under §103 in view of Abbott in
`
`combination with Shmueli and in further combination with Cannata.
`
`3. Claim Construction
`
`A claim subject to IPR is construed “in accordance with the ordinary and
`
`customary meaning of such claim as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art
`
`and the prosecution history pertaining to the patent.” 42 C.F.R. §42.100(b).
