`Code 200's Exhibit 1079
`Page 18 of 109
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner requests inter partes review of claims 1-29 of the ’319 patent
`
`(Ex. 1001).
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`The ’319 patent describes methods that purportedly provide “faster and more
`
`efficient” network communication. The claimed methods are overbroad and read
`
`directly on the prior art. For example, claim 1 covers basic proxy server
`
`functionality in which a device requests content from a web server through an
`
`intermediary device. This functionality was conventional long before the ’319
`
`patent and is described in Plamondon (Ex. 1010), the primary reference here.
`
`Patent Owner (“PO”) has asserted the ’319 patent in litigations against third
`
`parties in the Eastern District of Texas (“the EDTX cases”).3 There, PO defended
`
`the patentability of claim 1 on the ground that it recites networking devices in a
`
`purportedly novel configuration: a device requesting content (which it calls a
`
`“server”), an intermediary device or proxy (which it calls a “client device”), and a
`
`device storing the content (which it calls a “web server”). PO calls this a “server-
`
`client device-web server architecture.” Plamondon discloses this exact
`
`architecture.

`

`
`partiesy to the 395 caseany litigation involving the ’319 patent.

`Code200, UAB v. Bright Data Ltd.
`Code 200's Exhibit 1079
`Page 19 of 109
`
`
`
`
`
`The dependent claims recite implementation details that Plamondon and
`
`other publications described long before the ’319 patent. Indeed, in several cases
`
`the dependent claims cover networking methods described in foundational
`
`protocols and comments that define the Internet. All challenged claims are
`
`unpatentable.
`
`This Petition is being submitted concurrently with a motion for joinder.
`
`Specifically, Petitioner requests institution and joinder with The Data Company
`
`Technologies Inc. v. Bright Data Ltd., IPR2022-00135 (“the TDC IPR”), which the
`
`Board instituted on June 1, 2022. This Petition is substantially identical to the
`
`petition in the TDC IPR and contains the same grounds (based on the same prior
`
`art and supporting evidence) against the same claims, and differs only as necessary
`
`to reflect the fact that it is filed by a different petitioner. See Ex. 1079 (illustrating
`
`minimal changes between the instant Petition and the petition in IPR2022-00135).
`
`II. CERTIFICATION OF STANDING
`
`The ’319 patent is available for IPR and Petitioner is not barred or estopped
`
`from requesting IPR of its claims. 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(a). The one-year bar date of
`
`35 U.S.C. § 315(b) does not apply to an IPR petition if it is accompanied by a
`
`timely joinder motion. 35 U.S.C. § 315(b).
`
`III. UNPATENTABILITY GROUNDS
`
`Petitioner requests cancellation of claims 1-29 as follows:
