`
`he walked through a very long claim to prove that.
`Our burden of proof is met by way more than the feather.
`We only need the feather, but we've gone well beyond that.
`They don't even dispute how our system works -- their system
`works.
`Invalidity. Now, patents are presumed valid. We start
`with the premise that the Patent Office did its job. They had
`a technical person at the Patent Office review and have a lot
`of back and forth here.
`I want to show you something. We saw these ribbon copies
`of the patent, but they only give this to you after they've
`done a whole review.
`Now, the other side showed you one paragraph that the
`Patent Office had back and forth. But maybe you don't know
`this: When you send -- when you try to get a patent, they
`scrutinize it. And every time you go back and forth debating
`what the patent is and whether you really deserve it, there's
`a piece of paper that goes to the Patent Office. That one
`paragraph is in this 600-plus page stack of paper that
`represents all the back and forth that Bright Data went
`through to make sure that these patents were valid before they
`got them issued. And there's just as thick a stack for the
`'510.
`So they did this process two times. In 2019, they went
`through a huge process at the Patent Office to make sure that

`
`the patents were valid, and in 2020 they did it again. And
`the Patent Office agreed. That's why their burden is so much
`higher. It's really -- once that's happened, do you really
`want to second-guess the work that those people did?
`You would need a firm belief or conviction or, as Your
`Honor said, an abiding belief or conviction, that this
`absolutely is not valid, that the Patent Office messed up
`twice. Somehow in the 1200 pages of communications, those
`patent examiners were clueless. And if you don't find that,
`you have to say no to invalidity in this case.
`Lack of written description. They say you didn't
`describe this invention in 2009. We already showed you their
`documents describing the patent did say they were doing this
`routing technology. They knew about it. We just proved this
`to you.
`Doctor Rhyne was trying to make it easy on you, and he
`said, look, anybody knows in this time period with this patent
`specification that you can put a client device in a proxy
`server in Figure 3. Okay? That's fair.
`They questioned this. Well, would you really do this?
`Well, we also cited you text that says in the patent that you
`would put a proxy server between the client devices. And
`Doctor Freedman admitted that you would -- that, in fact, a
`client and an agent are actually the same kind of device in
`the system in Figure 3. He said that right on the stand.

`
`THE COURT: 20 minutes have been used.
`MR. HARKINS: Thank you, Your Honor.
`You place the proxy server between one or more clients.
`Between one or more clients. It says it in the patent at
`column 2, lines 10 to 15. That is support.
`Did you wonder why the Patent Office granted these
`patents? Why did they think it was supported by the patent?
`Because it says it in the patent. And Doctor Freedman didn't
`even discuss it. His position was, I don't see it.
`Is that clear and convincing evidence that the whole
`patent's invalid, that the Patent Office got it wrong and then
`a year later looked at it all over again and got it wrong
`again, because one expert got on the stand who is paid $850 an
`hour to say, I didn't see it?
`I don't think they could possibly meet a clear and
`convincing evidence standard for this. And it was in light of
`that specification, as the other side had said, that the
`Patent Office granted all the patents in this case.
`Doctor Freedman says, I don't see it. Doctor Rhyne and
`the Patent Office twice disagree, they found support. So
`there's no basis for this. And the '614 Patent, the written
`description is not even asserted.
`Now, the argument No. 2 is for Crowds. This is a prior
`art reference. You know, here's the problem. Doctor Freedman
`wouldn't even tell you what the claims mean. He said, I'm not
