`

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Petitioners Code200, UAB; Teso LT, UAB; Metacluster LT, UAB;
`
`Oxysales, UAB; and coretech lt, UAB Major Data UAB (collectively “Petitioner”
`
`or “Major Data”) seeks inter partes review and cancellation of claims 1, 2, 6-11,
`
`13, and 15-24 (“Challenged Claims”) of U.S. Patent No. 10,484,510. Ex. 1001 (the
`
`“’510 patent” or the “Patent”). The Petition is supported by the Exhibits listed
`
`above, including the Expert Declaration of Keith J. Teruya (Ex. 1005).
`
`The ’510 patent is a continuation of U.S. Patent No. 10,257,319 (the “’319
`
`patent”), challenged separately herewith. As is apparent from a comparison (Ex.
`
`1022), the principal (and only material) difference between the independent claims
`
`of the two patents is that claim 1 of the ’510 patent adds that the middleman, proxy
`
`device (first client device) establishes, and forwards the requested content over, a
`
`TCP connection with the content-requesting device (second server):
`
`second server <-TCP-> client (proxy) device <—> web server
`
`For reasons discussed in the accompanying petition on the ’319 patent (and
`
`also included herein to make a sufficient free-standing record as to the ’510 patent)
`
`the ’510 patent, like the ’319 patent, is anticipated and/or obvious over Crowds
`
`(Ex. 1006), Border (Ex. 1012), and MorphMix (Ex. 1008). The ’510 patent
`
`inventors were also far from inventing persistent TCP connections, and as
`
`
`
`

`
`Code200 Exhibit 1025
`Page 8 of 92
`
`

`

`IPR20223-0091600039
`U.S. Patent No. 10,484,510
`addressed herein, the same three principal references anticipate and/or render
`
`obvious the combination, including persistent TCP connections as well.1
`
`This Petition is being submitted concurrently with a motion for joinder.
`
`Specifically, Petitioner requests institution and joinder with NetNut Ltd.Major
`
`Data UAB v. Bright Data Ltd., IPR20221-01493 00916 (“the NetNut MD IPR”),
`
`which the Board instituted on March 21September 15, 2022. This Petition is
`
`substantially identical to the petition in the NetNut MD 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.

`
`UAB. (“Petitioner” or “Major Data”).
`
`
`1 There is also very little difference between claim 1 of the ’510 patent and claim
`
`24 of the ’319 patent (which likewise recites establishing a TCP connection).

`3. DISCRETIONARY CONSIDERATIONS (35 U.S.C. § 314(a))
`
`This Petition is being submitted concurrently with a motion for joinder.
`
`Specifically, Petitioner requests institution and joinder with Major Data UAB
`
`NetNut Ltd. v. Bright Data Ltd., IPR20221-01493 00916 (“the NetNut MD IPR”),
`
`which the Board instituted on March 21September 15, 2022. This Petition is
`
`substantially identical to the petition in the NetNut 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. 1025 (illustrating changes between the instant Petition and the
`
`petition in IPR2022-00916). All exhibits (other than Ex. 1025) filed by Petitioner,
`
`including the expert declaration, are substantially the same exhibits filed in the
`
`NetNut MD IPR. A change to the document control number on the first page of
`
`each exhibit was made to indicate filing with this IPR Petition. An additional
`
`certifying declaration by Petitioner’s counsel, Wensheng Ma (Ex. 1024) is also
`
`included.
`
`4. OVERVIEW OF THE ’510 PATENT
`
`4.1. Claims
`
`The Challenged Claims are listed in Ex. 1003.
`
`The following figure schematically represents the data flow corresponding to
`
`claim 1, and the steps performed by the intermediate device in the middle of the
`
`

`U.S. Patent No. 10,484,510
`
`
`
`
`
`’510 Patent Claim 1 Data Flow
`
`
`
`This is the data flow of a conventional “proxy server”—a device that stands
`
`in the middle to relay requests and responses to and from an ordinary web server.
`
`In the case of the ’510 patent, claim 1 recites “establishing a TCP connection” and
`
`that step (4) in the above figure (returning the first content) is done over that
`
`connection. However, as will be addressed, this is also standard, in prior art in
`
`exactly the same context, and hardly merits a patent.
`
`The “client” and “server” labelling of the devices in the claim also do not
`
`distinguish over the prior art.
`
`As will be individually addressed, the dependent Challenged Claims merely
`
`recite additional common steps, for example using headers defined in existing
`
`Internet standards, cached content validation, and the like, commonly found in
`
`proxy devices well known in the art.

`U.S. Patent No. 10,484,510
`
`4.2. Specification
`
`The ’510 patent uses as an example a peer-to-peer swarm of devices,
`
`provisioned so they can variously act as either “clients” or “servers” (and
`
`sometimes as both), at various times and under various circumstances.
`
`In the disclosure, any of a plurality of “communication devices,” running a
`
`common “acceleration application” 220, can function in different roles, including
`
`as a “client” (device that requests content, for example for the client’s web
`
`browser) “agent” (device that obtains content an origin web server and/or manages
`
`its retrieval from peers), or “peer” (device that continues to cache content received
`
`while the peer acted as a client or agent):

`
`communicating, with the “agent” forming a connection to a server.
