`
`I, Thomas La Porta, Ph.D., declare as follows:
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`My name is Thomas F. La Porta, and I have been retained by counsel
`
`for Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) to analyze U.S. Patent No. 9,088,868 (“’868
`
`patent” “EX1001”) and to provide my opinions regarding the patentability of
`
`claims 1, 2, 5, 20, 24, 25, 28, and 43 of the ’868 patent.
`
`2.
`
`I am being compensated at my normal consulting rate of $550 per
`
`hour for my time. My compensation is not contingent on the outcome of this
`
`proceeding, or of any proceedings relating to the ’868 patent.
`
`II.
`
`BACKGROUND AND QUALIFICATIONS
`
`3.
`
`I am the Director of the School of Electrical Engineering and
`
`Computer Science at Penn State University. I am also an Evan Pugh Professor and
`
`the William E. Leonhard Professor in the Department of Computer Science and
`
`Engineering and the Department of Electrical Engineering at Penn State
`
`University. I was the founding Director of the Institute of Networking and Security
`
`Research at Penn State. I have worked on telecommunications networks since
`
`1986.
`
`4.
`
`I received my B.E. and M.E. in Electrical Engineering from The
`
`Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1986 and 1987,
`
`WEST\296962950.1

`Patent 9,088,868
`
`respectively, and my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in
`
`1992.
`
`5.
`
`I joined AT&T Bell Labs (which later became Bell Labs, Lucent
`
`Technologies) in 1986 after receiving my B.E. degree, and pursued my M.E.
`
`degree part-time. In my first job at Bell Labs, I tested the performance and
`
`interoperability of many data communication devices within the AT&T network. I
`
`transferred into Bell Labs Research in 1990 to pursue research full-time.
`
`6.
`
`Starting in 1994, I performed research directed towards mobile and
`
`wireless networks. During this period, I worked extensively on signaling protocols
`
`and call processing for mobile telephony networks and mobile data applications. A
`
`large portion of my work was directed at architectures, protocols, and software for
`
`enabling different types of serviced on wireless networks.
`
`7.
`
`In 1997, I became the Director of the Mobile Networking Research
`
`Department within Bell Labs Research. This group, which included approximately
`
`30 researchers and support developers, carried out basic research on mobile
`
`networks including cellular telephony, mobile Internet, integrated networks and
`
`mobile data services. In 2000, I was named the Director of the Advanced Mobile
`
`Networking Department within the Wireless Business Unit of Lucent
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`

`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`Technologies. My role in this job was to work with development organizations to
`
`turn technology into products.
`
`8.
`
`During both my development and research careers, I interacted
`
`extensively with computer scientists and engineers responsible for the design,
`
`development, and testing of mobile telephony and data networking products with a
`
`focus on wireless networks. As a research manager, I oversaw a department that
`
`executed many large-scale joint projects with development organizations to release
`
`products for Lucent Technologies. Examples of such joint projects include, the
`
`control software for Lucent Technologies’ 3G network access controllers used for
`
`interconnecting CDMA base stations, processor overload controls in Lucent
`
`Technologies’ cellular soft switches, the industry’s first multi-protocol Home
`
`Location Register, servers and protocols for enabling services and interactive text
`
`messaging via cellular networks, the first systems to interwork 2G and 3G
`
`networks of different types with all-IP networks, and mobile Internet services.
`
`These interactions exposed me to a wide range of computer scientists and
`
`engineers working on wireless network technologies and applications.
`
`9.
`
`As the Director of both the Networking Research Department in Bell
`
`Labs and the Advanced Mobile Networking Department within the Wireless
`
`Business Unit of Lucent Technologies, I met extensively with product managers
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`

`
`APPLE
`EXHIBIT 1002 - PAGE 0007
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`and marketing organizations for the Wireless Business Unit of Lucent
`
`Technologies and representatives of many cellular service providers. In these
`
`meetings, I would often present new concepts and product directions that the
`
`company was advancing in the wireless market.
`
`10.
`
`I also taught as an adjunct member of the faculty at Columbia
`
`University in 1993 and from 1996-2001. I taught graduate classes in networking
`
`protocol design (1993) and mobile computing and networking (1996-2001). As
`
`such, I am familiar with the curricula taught to Electrical Engineers and Computer
`
`Scientists from the early 1990s until today.
`
`11.
`
`I am a co-inventor on at least 39 United States Patents and 18 foreign
`
`patents, of which the large majority pertain to mobile telecommunications. Two of
`
`my patents, one of which helped enable the mobile Internet, were awarded the
`
`Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award by the Research and Development Council of
`
`New Jersey. For my early work I was recognized with an Eta Kappa Nu
`
`Outstanding Young Electrical Engineer Award and the Bell Labs Distinguished
`
`Staff Award.
`
`12. While at Bell Labs, I led my research department into creating new
`
`network, service, and software architectures for building some of the first wireless
`
`mobile data services. One example was building the first system that allowed for
`
`WEST\296962950.1

`Patent 9,088,868
`
`simple mobile phones to engage in two-way messaging (now called text
`
`messaging) which led to several published papers and five patents.
`
`13. After joining Penn State, I continued my work on wireless networks
`
`and services including several that were based on location-based services. This
`
`included work on using the location of a user to provide access to services and
`
`preserving privacy for users while enabling location-based services.
`
`14. Because of my expertise on security in wireless networks, I was
`
`appointed to The President’s National Security Telecommunications Advisory
`
`Committee. My role on this Committee was to identify security risks for current
`
`and evolving cellular networks.
`
`15. Based on this experience, and my continuing work at Penn State
`
`University, I have intimate knowledge of wireless and mobile networks and
`
`services. I have been highly recognized as an expert in such systems. I was
`
`recognized with the Bell Labs Distinguished Member of Technical Staff award in
`
`1996. My award letter stated in part, “[y]our contributions to wireless call
`
`processing have profoundly impacted Lucent. You are very well-known as
`
`demonstrated by your three best paper awards…”. I was named a Bell Labs
`
`Fellow in 2000, “[f]or outstanding contributions in mobile wireless networks in the
`
`area of call processing, signaling, mobility management, and applications.” I was

`Patent 9,088,868
`
`named an IEEE Fellow in 2002 “for contributions to systems for advanced
`
`broadband, mobile data and mobile telecommunication networks.”
`
`16.
`
`I previously served as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Personal
`
`Communications Magazine and was the founding Editor-in-Chief of IEEE
`
`Transactions on Mobile Computing. I have published about 300 technical papers
`
`in this field.
`
`17. My research is supported primarily by the Department of Defense and
`
`the National Science Foundation. I was the Director of a center funded by the U.S.
`
`Army Research Lab studying network science as it relates to communication
`
`networks. I also led a recently concluded project funded by the Defense Threat
`
`Reduction Agency to improve network reliability against attack by weapons of
`
`mass destruction.
`
`18. Additional information regarding my professional qualifications,
`
`experience, and publications are set forth in my curriculum vitae, a copy of which
`
`is attached as Appendix A.
`
`III. MATERIALS CONSIDERED
`
`19.
`
`In preparing this declaration, I reviewed the ’868 patent, including the
`
`claims of the patent in view of the specification, and I have reviewed the
`
`prosecution history of the ’868 patent and numerous prior art and technical
`
`WEST\296962950.1

`6
`
`APPLE

`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`references from the time of the alleged invention. Of the materials cited as an
`
`exhibit to the ’868 patent IPR petition, I reviewed the following:

`U.S. Patent No. 6,327,535 to Evans et al.
`
`20.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has asked me to consider whether certain
`
`references disclose or suggest, alone or in combination, the features recited in
`
`certain claims of the ’868 patent. I have also been asked to consider the state of the
`
`art and the prior art available before the time of the alleged invention of the ’868
`
`patent. My opinions are provided in this declaration.
`
`21. My opinions in this declaration are based on my review of the
`
`documents above, my understanding as an expert in the relevant field, and my
`
`education, training, research, knowledge, and personal and professional
`
`experience.
`
`22.
`
`To my knowledge, I have no financial interest in Petitioner. Counsel
`
`for Petitioner has informed me that BillJCo purports to own the ’868 patent. To the
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`
`7
`
`APPLE
`EXHIBIT 1002 - PAGE 0011
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`best of my knowledge, I have no financial interest in BillJCo and, to my
`
`recollection, have had no contact with BillJCo or the named inventor of the ’868
`
`patent, William J. Johnson. To the best of my knowledge, I do not have any
`
`financial interest in the ’868 patent.
`
`23.
`
`To the extent any mutual funds or other investments that I own have a
`
`financial interest in the Petitioner, the Patent Owner, or the ’868 patent, I am not
`
`aware of, and do not control, any financial interest that would affect or bias my
`
`judgment.
`
`IV. LEGAL STANDARDS
`
`24.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that, in an inter partes review
`
`proceeding, a patent claim may be deemed unpatentable if it is shown by a
`
`preponderance of the evidence that the claim was either anticipated by a prior art
`
`patent or publication or rendered obvious by one or more prior art patents or
`
`publications.
`
`25.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that a claim is unpatentable if
`
`the differences between the subject matter of the patent and the prior art are such
`
`that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious to a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art, or a “POSITA”, at the time of the invention.
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`
`8
`
`APPLE
`EXHIBIT 1002 - PAGE 0012
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`26.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that a determination of whether
`
`a claim would have been obvious should be based upon several factors, including
`
`the following:
`
`filed;
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The level of ordinary skill in the art at the time the application was
`
`The scope and content of the prior art; and
`
`What differences, if any, existed between the claimed invention and
`
`the prior art.
`
`27.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that a single reference can
`
`render a patent claim obvious if any differences between that reference and the
`
`claims would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`Alternatively, the teachings of two or more references may be combined in the
`
`same way as disclosed in the claims, if such a combination would have been
`
`obvious to one having ordinary skill in the art. In determining whether a
`
`combination based on either a single reference or multiple references would have
`
`been obvious, I understand from Petitioner’s counsel that it is appropriate to
`
`consider the following factors:
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`
`9
`
`APPLE
`EXHIBIT 1002 - PAGE 0013
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`
`
`Whether the teachings of the prior art references disclose known
`
`concepts combined in familiar ways, and when combined, would yield predictable
`
`results;
`
`
`
`Whether a POSITA could implement a predictable variation, and
`
`would see the benefit of doing so;
`
`
`
`Whether the claimed elements represent one of a limited number of
`
`known design choices, and would have a reasonable expectation of success by
`
`those skilled in the art;
`
`
`
`Whether a person of ordinary skill would have recognized a reason to
`
`combine known elements in the manner described in the claim;
`
`
`
`Whether there is some teaching or suggestion in the prior art to make
`
`the modification or combination of elements claimed in the patent; and
`
`
`
`Whether the innovation applies a known technique that had been used
`
`to improve a similar device or method in a similar way.
`
`28.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that a POSITA has ordinary
`
`creativity and is not an automaton.
`
`29.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that all prior art references are to
`
`be looked at from the viewpoint of a POSITA.

`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`30.
`
`Petitioner’s counsel has informed me that, in considering obviousness,
`
`it is important not to determine obviousness using the benefit of hindsight derived
`
`from the patent being considered, and that obviousness is analyzed from the
`
`perspective of a POSITA at the time of the invention.

`
`OVERVIEW OF THE ’868 PATENT
`
`31.
`
`The ’868 patent, titled “System and Method for Location Based
`
`Exchanges of Data Facilitating Distributed Locational Applications,” was filed on
`
`November 22, 2013, and issued on July 21, 2015.
`
`32.
`
`The ’868 patent issued from U.S. Patent Application No. 14/087,313
`
`(“’313 application”), filed on November 22, 2013. The ’313 application is
`
`continuation of U.S. Patent Application No. 12/287,064, filed October 3, 2008,
`
`which is a continuation-in-part of Application No. 12/077,041 (“’041
`
`application”), filed on March 14, 2008.
`
`A.
`
`33.
`
`Summary of the ’868 Patent
`
`The ’868 patent relates to “location based services for mobile data
`
`processing systems, and more particularly to location based exchanges of data
`
`between distributed mobile data processing systems for locational applications.”
`
`EX1001, 1:20-24.
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`
`11
`
`APPLE
`EXHIBIT 1002 - PAGE 0015
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`34. Claim 1 of the ’868 patent is exemplary and describes “accepting user
`
`input” via a “user interface” “for configuring user specified location based event
`
`configuration,” “accessing” a memory that has stored thereon “a first identifier and
`
`a second identifier and a third identifier” where “each identifier is determined by
`
`the mobile processing system for at least one location based condition.” Claim 1
`
`further describes “receiving” a “wireless data record,” “determining the identifier
`
`data for the wireless data record,” “comparing the identifier data” with “the third
`
`identifier and the at least one of the first identifier and the second identifier,”
`
`“determining” that “at least one location based condition” matches “the third
`
`identifier and at least one of the first identifier and the second identifier,” then
`
`“performing” the “location based action” upon based on the determining. Id.
`
`B.
`
`Prosecution History
`
`35.
`
`I understand the ’313 application was filed on November 22, 2013 and
`
`included claims 1-25, of which claim 1 and 25 were independent. In an Office
`
`Action dated January 5, 2015, pending claims 1-25 were rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
`
`102 based on U.S. Patent Application Publication 2004/0252051 (“Johnson”). ’868
`
`Patent File History (EX1003), 38-47.
`
`36.
`
`In a response dated March 16, 2015, Applicant aggressively amended
`
`claims 1 and 3-25. In distinguishing prior art, Applicant further amended the claims,
`
`WEST\296962950.1
`
`12
`
`APPLE
`EXHIBIT 1002 - PAGE 0016
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00310
`Patent 9,088,868
`
`in part, to recite “accessing . . . by the mobile data processing system.” '’868 Patent
`
`EX1003, 24-38 (emphasis added). The Patent Owner argued that Johnson fails to
`
`contemplate this functionality without explicitly describing how it does not
`
`contemplate that functionality. Id.
`
`C.
`
`37.
`
`Level of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`In my opinion, a person having ordinary skill in the art (“POSITA”)
`
`for the ’868 patent would have had at least a bachelor’s degree in computer
`
`science, computer engineering, or an equivalent, and two years of experience
`
`relating to wireless communications. Additional education in wireless systems can
`
`remedy a deficiency in experience, and vice versa.
`
`38. As of the filing date of the earliest application that the ’868 patent
`
`claims priority to (i.e., March 14, 2008), including up to and including the filing
`
`date of the application resulting in the ’868 patent, I was a person having ordinary
`
`skill in the art.
`
`D.
`
`39.
`
`Priority Date
`
`I do not offer any opinion as to whether the ’868 patent can claim
`

`
`Exemplary Claim
`
`40.
`
`In my opinion, claim 1 of the ’868 patent is exemplary and describes
`
`“accepting user input” via a “user interface” “for configuring user specified
`
`location based event configuration,” “accessing” a memory that has stored thereon
`
`“a first identifier and a second identifier and a third identifier” where “each
`
`identifier is determined by the mobile processing system for at least one location
`
`based condition.” Claim 1 further describes “receiving” a “wireless data record,”
`
`“determining the identifier data for the wireless data record,” “comparing the
`
`identifier data” with “the third identifier and the at least one of the first identifier
`
`and the second identifier,” “determining” that “at least one location based
`
`condition” matches “the third identifier and at least one of the first identifier and
`
`the second identifier,” then “performing” the “location based action” upon based
`
`on the determining. Claim 1 is reproduced below:
`
`1. A method, comprising:
`
`accepting user input, from a user of a mobile application user interface of a
`
`user carried mobile data processing system, for configuring a user specified
`
`location based event configuration to be monitored and triggered by the mobile
`
`data processing system wherein the mobile data processing system uses the user
`
`specified location based event configuration to perform mobile data processing

`
`For purposes of this declaration, I have applied the ordinary and
`
`customary meaning of the claims when read in light of the ’868 patent and the
`
`prosecution history of the ’868 patent, as understood by a POSITA at the time of
`
`the invention.

`VII. SUMMARY OF OPINIONS
`
`43.
`
`In my opinion, the challenged claims of the ’868 patent, including
`
`claims 1, 2, 5, 20, 24, 25, 28, and 43, are invalid as obvious to a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art as of the “Critical Date,” i.e., March 14, 2008, the filing date of the
`
`’041 application. As of the Critical Date, in my opinion each of the Haberman,

`
`Overview of Haberman
`
`46. Haberman, entitled “Transmitter at Specific Address Transmitting
`
`Address-Specific Informational Content,” was filed November 1, 2004, published
`
`on May 5, 2005. Haberman expressly discloses location-based triggering of
`
`presentation information and renders obvious all the challenged claims. EX1004,
`
`[0008], [0033], [0129], [0165].
`
`47. Haberman is directed towards a system 100 for presenting
`
`informational content to a person using a mobile device 108. EX1004, Abstract,
`
`[0008]-[0085]. System 100 includes a wireless transmitter 102 and the mobile
`
`device 108 and is reproduced below, as shown in Figure 1. Id.

`
`In operation, wireless transmitter 102 broadcasts a transmission
`
`containing information content 106 for presentation to a user. Haberman, [0118].
`
`The information content 106 provided to the user pertains to a particular location
`
`within the range of the transmitter 102 and the user. Id. Transmitter 102
`
`unilaterally transmits the transmission 104 without regard to whether any mobile
`
`device is located within a transmission range 110 of the transmitter 102. EX1004,
`
`¶ [0119].

`
`49. Mobile device 108 includes a data processing unit 136 and a user
`
`interface for receiving input from a person using the mobile device 108. EX1004, ¶
`
`[0121]. A user of mobile device 108 may utilize a user interface to create a
`
`preference profile, which is stored within the mobile device and specifies certain
`
`businesses or locations of interest that are preferred by the person. The preferences
`
`profile indicates the types of informational content with which the person using
`
`mobile device 108 desires to be presented. EX1004, ¶¶ [0131], [176].
`
`50.
`
`In operation, a plurality of transmissions is received by mobile device
`
`108. EX1004, ¶ [0182]. Mobile device 108 then determines whether the
`
`informational content of the broadcast is presentable according to the preferences
`
`profile. EX1004, ¶ [0186]. If the informational content is presentable according to
`
`the preferences profile, the informational content is presented using the mobile
`
`device. Id. Otherwise, the information content is not presented.
`
`51.
`
`The mobile device determines that the information content is
`
`presentable by screening the information content to be displayed based on the
`
`identifier of who sent it. For example, “[t]he preferences profile may include a
`
`broadcaster identification by which broadcasts ar
