`Attorney Docket No. 00058-0003IP1
`IPR of U.S. Patent No. RE47,704
`
`
`
`PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
`Lyft, Inc. and Bumble Trading LLC (collectively, “Petitioner”) request inter
`
`I.
`
`partes review of claims 33-41, 43, and 45-48 of U.S. Patent No. RE47,704 (Ex-
`
`1001). The patentability analysis of this Petition is identical to the petition filed in
`
`IPR2021-00058, and Petitioner concurrently requests joinder to that proceeding.
`
`Section XII, infra, addresses various discretionary considerations, including
`
`Petitioner’s contingent stipulation to avoid overlapping grounds in district court.
`
`II. BACKGROUND OF LOCATION-DETERMINING AND LOCATION-
`SHARING TECHNOLOGIES
`Before the ’704 patent, a wide range of terrestrial and satellite-based
`
`location technologies had been in use for years, beginning in WWII. Williams,
`
`¶¶43-45, 56. The 1996 Telecommunications Act (which mandated locating
`
`wireless phones when calling 9-1-1) was the catalyst for a boom of location-based
`
`technologies within the wireless industry and location-based services and
`
`applications across a wide breadth of industries. Id., ¶57. For satellite
`
`communications, the U.S. GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) system was fully
`
`operational by 1993, but accuracy of these systems was greatly approved in May
`
`2000. Id., ¶58. The increase in accuracy of GPS systems immediately triggered
`
`even more innovation in location services fields. Id., ¶¶59-99.
`
`1
`
`

`

`In the late 90s and early 2000s, developers in the wireless/mobile
`
`Attorney Docket No. 00058-0003IP1
`IPR of U.S. Patent No. RE47,704
`
`
`communications industry were implementing location-based information sharing
`
`across a variety of fields. Id. Key components included: registration, location
`
`determination (e.g., via GPS or location service providers), and information
`
`sharing. Id., ¶¶46-99. Each of these components was well known at the time of the
`
`’704 patent. Id. Registration was used for authentication and to gather information
`
`about a user, such as preferences used provide personalized services. Id., ¶¶46-55;
`
`Ex-1026; Ex-1035 through Ex-1039. Location determination came in many
`
`varieties, including stand-alone GPS and location services providers such as
`
`differential GPS operators. Williams, ¶¶56-58; Ex-1040. Location sharing also
`
`quickly became pervasive in a many fields. Williams, ¶¶59-99; Ex-1042; Ex-1043;
`
`Ex-1044. Some sub-industries that implemented location sharing in software
`
`products during the period preceding the ’704 patent were:
`
` User matching (matching users to other users or businesses to share
`
`information) (Williams, ¶¶60-68 (citing Ex-1012, Ex-1013, Ex-1014,
`
`Ex-1015, Ex-1016)),
`
` social networking (Williams, ¶¶69-75 (citing Ex-1017, Ex-1018, Ex-
`
`1019)), collaboration and groupware (Williams, ¶¶76-89 (citing Ex-
`
`1020, Ex-1021, Ex-1022, Ex-1023, Ex-1041)),
`
`2
`
`

`

` advertising (Williams, ¶¶90-96 (citing Ex-1024, Ex-1025, Ex-1027,
`
`Attorney Docket No. 00058-0003IP1
`IPR of U.S. Patent No. RE47,704
`
`
`Ex-1045, Ex-1046)), and
`
` and instant messaging (Williams, ¶¶97-98 (citing Ex-1005, Ex-1009).
`
`The ’704 patent’s disclosures touch on each of these sub-industries, as does
`
`the presented prior art. Williams, ¶99.

`The ’704 patent was filed on December 19, 2014, and claims priority to the
`
`filing date of its parent application, U.S. Patent No. 7,080,139 (Ex-1011), April 24,
`
`2001. April 24, 2001 is the ’704 patent’s earliest possible priority date. Williams,
`
`¶100.
`
`A. Callegari
`U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0055983 (Ex-1005,
`
`“Callegari”) was published on March 20, 2003, and filed on March 19, 2002,
`
`claiming priority to three provisional applications filed on March 19, 2001: U.S.
`
`Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60/277,174 (Ex-1006), 60/277,187 (Ex-1007),
`
`and 60/277,200 (Ex-1008). At least claim 1 of Callegari is supported by the
`
`provisional applications. Williams, ¶¶101-02.

`“An illustrative aspect of the invention includes a method for
`
`providing a journal. The method includes creating a journal entry that
`
`is virtually affixed to a location of interest. The method also includes
`
`presenting the journal entry to a selected person when the selected
`
`person is within the vicinity of the location of interest.”

`“Location objects implement the data and behavior of
`
`geographical entities. Locations are added to a Realm databases based
`
`on Realm logic and a creation event. When a Realm is created, there
`
`are no Locations. Locations must be initialized by the creator of the
`
`Realm or through the creation event of user/s. Locations may be
`
`created that have an area beyond the origin point and the resolution of
`
`the position determining equipment. All locations contain content.”

`
`“This content may be private (only accessible to the user/author)
`
`or can be shared with others in “buddy lists” for collaboration. These
`
`services may also be public, which is available to the entire user base
`
`of the system. Virtual content can be multimedia/multiformat. For
`
`example, it can include text, voice, graphics etc. Presentation of this
`
`content depends on what was created and on the individual
`
`personalized settings of people who will access this content. Virtual
`
`content creates a private or collaborative location-based messaging
`
`community. These journals or services overlay the physical world.
`
`Users can interact with the services in an ad hoc fashion. The term
`
`“content” used here refers to being location sensitive. Discrete
`
`messages, newsgroups, bulletin boards, chat rooms, or live instant
`
`messaging can all be location sensitive. The term “content”
`
`encompasses all of these forms of communication. The term
`
`“content” throughout may also include applications and applets.

`
`number of other systems to provide the merchant presence. These
`
`other systems include a mapping system. The mapping system
`
`provides geographic addresses and routing methods to define the
`
`geographic area of the merchant presence. It may also be used by the
`
`consumer to search for a desired merchant presence within an area of
`
`interest. The database keeps information that is generated to provide
`
`the merchant presence. In one embodiment, the database is
`
`implemented using Oracle, but any suitable database technology can
`
`be used, such as Microsoft SQL server.”

`IPR of U.S. Patent No. RE47,704
`
`
`applications, March 19, 2001, making it prior art to the ’704 patent under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 102(e). Dynamic Drinkware, LLC v. Nat’l Graphics, Inc., 800 F.3d 1375,
`
`1380 (Fed. Cir. 2015); see also Williams, ¶103.
`
`Callegari describes a system for sharing the location of a GPS-enabled
`
`mobile consumer device with others. Callegari, ¶¶[0006]-[0007], [0009]-[0011].
`
`The consumer device, when in a “sensing mode” (id.¸ ¶¶[0042]-[0046]) performs
`
`the following continuous functions: (1) it tracks user location as a user moves from
`
`one place to another; (2) allows users to create, share, and receive virtual content
`
`including “a definition of a geographic location” based on the tracked location (i.e.,
`
`“journal entr[ies]”) (id., ¶[0024]) where the virtual content can be designated
`
`“private, public, [or] semi-public” (id., ¶[0011]); and (3) presents virtual content
`
`created by other users relevant to the user’s location when the user meets the
`
`requirement (“Context criteria”) to view the virtual content (id., ¶¶[0027], [0033]-
`
`[0036]); Williams, ¶104.
`
`As shown in Fig. 5B, Callegari’s system enables a mobile consumer device
`
`to determine its location via a “GPS” and via a “location service provider,” which
`
`“allows the user’s location to be tracked.” Callegari, ¶¶[0024], [0044], [0050].
`
`When the consumer device is GPS-enabled, location data is transmitte
