`
`II.
`
`Identification of Claims Being Challenged (37 CFR § 42.104(b))
`
`Claims 2 and 3 of the ’290 patent are unpatentable for the following reasons:
`
`(i)
`
`Claims 2 and 3 are anticipated under 35 U.S.C. § l02(b) (pre-AIA) by
`
`International Patent Application Publication No. W0 97/09682 to
`
`Kikinis (“Kikinis”).
`
`[Ex. 1007]. Kikinis published more than one-
`
`year prior to the effective filing date of claims-2-3 of the ’290 patent,
`
`and is thus prior art under 35 U.S.C. l02(b) (pre-AIA).
`
`Claim 2 is anticipated by under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) (pre-AIA) by “The
`
`Complete Idiot’s Guide to CompuServe”, by Andy Shafran
`
`(“CompuServel”).
`
`[Ex. 1008]. CompuServel published more than
`
`one-year prior to the effective filing date of claims-2-3 of the ’290
`
`patent, and is thus prior art under 35 U.S.C. l02(b) (pre-AIA).
`
`(iii)
`
`Claim 3 is obvious under 35 U.S.C. l03(a) based on CompuServe1 in
`
`combination with “Special Edition Using CompuServe”, by Nancy
`
`Stevenson et al. (“CompuServe2”).
`
`[Ex. 1009]. CompuServe2

`
`Petition re US. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`published more than one-year prior to the effective filing date of
`
`claims-2-3 of the ’290 patent, and is thus prior art under 35 U.S.C.
`
`102(b) (pre-AIA).
`
`(iv) Claims 2-3 are anticipated under 35 U.S.C. l02(e) by U.S. Patent No.
`
`5,974,446 to Sonnenreich et al. (“Sonnenreich”).
`
`[Ex. 1010].
`
`Sonnenreich was filed with the U.S. Patent Office on October 24,
`
`1996, which is prior to the effective filing date of the ’290 patent, and
`
`is thus prior art under 35 U.S.C. 102(e)(2) (pre-AIA).
`
`A list of evidence relied upon in support of this petition is set forth in
`
`Attachment B. The Declaration of Dr. John Strawn Regarding U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,771,290 demonstrating the above lack of patentability is included herewith as
`
`Exhibit 1005. Dr. Strawn’s Curriculum Vitae is included as Exhibit 1006, and the
`
`evidence and other materials relied on and considered by Dr. Strawn are included
`
`herewith as Exhibits 1001-1002 and 1007-1012. Petitioner’s proposed
`
`construction of the claims, the evidence relied upon, and the precise reasons why
`
`the claims are unpatentable are set forth in § IV, below.

`
`Petition re U.S. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`III. Relevant Information Concerning the Contested Patent
`
`A.
`
`Claims 2 and 3 of the ’290 Patent are not entitled to the priority
`
`date of the ‘010 patent
`
`The ’290 patent issued from U.S. Patent Application No. 09/744,033 which
`
`claims priority to PCT Application No. PCT/US99/ 16135 (“the PCT application”),
`
`which was filed on July 16, 1999. The PCT application claims priority as a
`
`Continuation—in-Part to U.S. Patent Application No. 09/118,351, filed July 17,
`
`1998, now U.S. Patent No. 6,141,010 (“the ‘O10 patent”).
`
`[Ex. 1011]. “For a
`
`claim in a later—filed application to be entitled to the filing date of an earlier
`
`application under 35 U.S.C. § 120, the earlier application must comply with the
`
`written description requirement of 35 U.S.C. § 112, ll 1.” Tronzo v. Biomet, Inc.,
`
`156 F.3d 1154, 1158 (Fed. Cir. 1998).
`
`Claim 2 of the ’290 patent recites, among other things:
`
`0
`
`“the server storing a user profile and user libraryfor each ofa
`
`number ofdiflerent users”
`
`0 “said program being operable upon execution to receive from server
`
`one ofthe user profiles and to display a user—selectable item for user
`
`links contained within the user profile”
`
`0 “said program further being operable in response to selection by a
`
`user ofone of the user links to access the file associated with the
`
`NY 243337720v1

`
`
`
`Case 2:12-cv-02825-JPM-tmp Document 66-3 Filed 11/22/13 Page 10 of 35 PageID 898
`Case 2:12—cv—O2825—JPM—tmp Document 66-3 Filed 11/22/13 Page 10 of 35 Page|D 898
`
`Petition re US. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`selected user linkfrom the user library associated with the received
`
`user profile”.
`
`The written description of the ‘010 patent does not support these limitations.
`
`Indeed, nowhere does the ‘O1 0 patent disclose storing a user library or a user
`
`profile on a server remote of the client computer (i.e., “the server storing a user
`
`profile and user library for each of a number of different users”). Consequently,
`
`the ‘O10 patent also does not disclose “said program being operable upon
`
`execution to receive from server one of the user profiles” or “said program further
`
`being operable in response to selection by a user of one of the user links to access
`
`iigflassociated with the selected user link from the user library associated with
`
`the received user profile.” Furthermore, Patent Owner has previously
`
`acknowledged that claims relying on the disclosure of the PCT application “may
`
`not be entitled to the July 17, 1998 priority date.” [Ex. 1013, p. 8]. For at least
`
`these reasons, claim 2 of the ’29O patent is not entitled to claim priority to the ‘010
`
`patent. Claim 3 depends from claim 2. Thus, the effective filing date of claims 2
`
`and 3 of the ’290 patent is July 16, 1999.
`
`B.
`
`Person of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`
`A person of ordinary skill in the art in the field of the ’29O patent (“the
`
`skilled person”) would have been familiar with software engineering techniques
`
`published in the literature and known in the field as of July of 1999.
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1]
`
`NY 243337720v1

`
`
`Case 2:12-cv-02825-JPM-tmp Document 66-3 Filed 11/22/13 Page 11 of 35 PageID 899
`Case 2:12—cv—O2825—JPM—tmp Document 66-3 Filed 11/22/13 Page 11 of 35 Page|D 899
`
`Petition re US. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`19]. The skilled person would have gained this familiarity through graduate level
`
`studies in computer engineering or computer science, and/or through work
`
`experience in academia (either as a professor or a graduate student), and/or by
`
`working for a technology company or the government.
`
`[Ex. 1005, 11 19].
`
`C.
`
`Construction of Terms Used in the Claims
`
`In this proceeding, the claims must be given their broadest reasonable
`
`construction in light of the specification. 37 CFR 42.l0O(b). Additionally, the
`
`words of a claim “are generally given their ordinary and customary meaning,” and
`
`“the ordinary and customary meaning of a claim term is the meaning that the term
`
`would have to a person of ordinary skill in the art in question at the time of the
`
`invention, i.e., as of the effective filing date of the patent application.” Phillips v.
`
`A WH Corp., 415 F. 3d 1303, 1313-1314 (Fed. Cir. 2005). “Importantly, the person
`
`of ordinary skill in the art is deemed to read the claim term not only in the context
`
`of the particularnclaim in which the disputed term appears, but in the context of the
`
`entire patent, including the specification.” Id. at 1314.
`
`1.
`
`General Observations
`
`Claim 2 is independent, and claim 3 depends from claim 2. The preamble of
`
`claim 2 is limiting. “If the claim preamble, when read in the context of the entire
`
`claim, recites limitations of the claim, or, if the claim preamble is necessary to give
`
`life, meaning, and vitality to the claim, then the claim preamble should be

`
`Petition re US. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`construed as if in the balance of the claim.” Pitney Bowes, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard
`
`Co., 182 F.3d 1298, 1305 (Fed. Cir. 1999). Claim 2 recites several elements that
`
`are included in both the preamble and the body of the claim (e.g., server, network,
`
`user profile, user library, files, user link), which in and of itself makes the
`
`preamble limiting. Furthermore, the preamble provides specific functionality of
`
`the computer—readable memory of claim 2, z'.e., gives life, meaning and vitality to
`
`the claim. Thus, the preamble is limiting and “should be construed as if in the
`
`balance of the claim.” Id.
`
`2.
`
`“client computer”
`
`“Client computer” is defined in the ’290 patent as “[a] computer that is
`
`connected to a network (including computers that are connected only occasionally
`
`to the network such as, for example, by a modem and telephone line) and that can
`
`be used to send requests for information to other computers over the networ .”
`
`[’290 patent, 411-6].
`
`3.
`
`“server”
`
`“Server” is defined in the ’290 patent as “[a] computer on a network that
`
`stores information and that answers requests for information.” [’290 patent, 4:66-
`
`67].

`IV.
`
`Precise Reasons for Relief Requested
`
`A.
`
`Claims 2 and 3 Are Anticipated By Kikinis
`
`1.
`
`Kikinis Anticipates Claim 2
`
`Each of the elements of claim 2 is disclosed in Kikinis.
`
`[EX. 1005, 1] 55].
`
`Kikinis discloses a user station or kiosk having a computer system (63, 107) (client
`
`computer), having well-known elements of such a computer system, that
`
`communicates with a Web server (67) and a set of electronic document servers
`
`(69) by means of a modem (61, 105) and telephone line (83 cited in text, number
`
`not in figures) using communication protocols such as PPP or SLIP (i.e., via a
`
`network).
`
`[Id. at ] 46]. A computer-readable memory is one of the well-known
`
`elements of a computer system (63, 107).
`
`[Id. at 1] 46]. Thus, Kikinis discloses “A
`
`computer-readable memoryfor use by a client computer in conjunction with a
`
`server that is accessible by the client computer via a network.” [Id. at 1] 46].
`
`The Web server (67) supports a set of data bases (71).
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1] 47].
`
`Each of the data bases (71) belongs to a different client, and has a user profile, as
`
`shown by, e. g., the user-specific home page (73).
`
`[Id. at 1] 47]. The electronic
`
`document servers (69) are linked to each user-specific data base (71), and contain

`
`Petition re US. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`user—specific files such as lower-order data bases (89, 91, 93, 95).
`
`[Id. at 1] 47].
`
`The set of lower-order data bases comprises the user library, and the files of these
`
`lower-order data bases are the user’s files, such as voice mail files.
`
`[Id. at 1] 47].
`
`Thus, Kikinis discloses “the server storing a user profile and user library for each
`
`ofa number ofdifferent users, with the user library containing one or more files
`
`and the user profile containing at least one user link that provides a, link to one of
`
`the files in the user library.” [Id. at ][ 47].
`
`Kikinis discloses that the computer system (63, 107) has well-known
`
`elements of such a computer system, which would necessarily include a non-
`
`Volatile data storage device.
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1] 48]. Thus, Kikinis discloses “the
`
`computer readable memory comprising.‘ a non-volatile data storage device. ” [Id.
`
`at 1] 48].
`
`Kikinis discloses that the computer system (e.g., 63, 107) includes a Web-
`
`browser (e.g., 65, 109).
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1] 49]. The browser (e.g., 65, 109) is the
`
`program.
`
`[Id. at 1] 49]. Because the computer system (63, 107) necessarily has a
`
`non-Volatile memory and operates the web browser that is stored on the computer,
`
`Kikinis discloses “the computer readable memory comprising: .
`
`.
`
`. a program
`
`stored on said non-volatile data storage device in a computer—readableformat.”

`
`Petition re US. Pat. 6, 771,290 (Claims 2-3)
`
`Kikinis discloses that it is well known that a browser may have screen
`
`buttons, data—entry fields, and display fields (user-selectable items).
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1]
`
`50]. For example, Kikinis discloses a browser (109) that displays a graphical user
`
`interface with an application window having buttons and a field (a user-selectable
`
`item, 113) for entering a URL.
`
`[Id. at 1] 50]. Thus, Kikinis discloses “said
`
`program being operable upon execution to display a graphical user interface
`
`comprising an application window having a number ofuser—selectable items
`
`displayed therein.” [Id. at 11 50]. Kikinis also discloses a user home page (73) that
`
`is displayed “by using the facilities of a Web browser”, which user home page (73)
`
`includes buttons 117, 118, 120, and 122, i. e., user—selectable items.
`
`[Id. at 1i 50].
`
`Thus, Kikinis discloses “saidprogram being operable upon execution to display a
`
`graphical user interface comprising an application window having a number of
`
`user-selectable items displayed therein.” [Id. at 1] 50].
`
`Kikinis discloses that a user may enter a URL (link) to a Web destination
`
`(information resource) in the field (113) of the browser (109).
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1] 51]. In
`
`particular, Kikinis discloses the link “http:P/www.home.com.” [Id. at 1] 51]. Thus,
`
`Kikinis discloses “wherein each ofsaid items has associated with it a link to an
`
`information resource accessible via the network. ” [Id. at 1] 51]. Kikinis also
`
`discloses that each of the user-selectable items (117, 118, 120, 122) on the user-
`
`specific home page (73) has a link to one or more files of the lower-order data

`
`bases (89, 91, 93, 95) accessible Via the Internet.
`
`[Id. at 1] 51]. Thus, Kikinis
`
`discloses “wherein each ofsaid items has associated with it a link to an
`
`information resource accessible via the network. ” [Id. at 1] 51].
`
`Kikinis discloses that, after the user selects the Web destination and enters
`
`the URL, the browser accesses the selected Web destination (information resource,
`
`home page) using the Internet (i. e., over the network).
`
`[Ex. 1005, fil 52]. In
`
`particular, Kikinis discloses that a user home page (in this case, the information
`
`resource, 73) is retrieved (accessed).
`
`[Id. at 1] 52]. Thus, Kikinis discloses
`
`“wherein saidprogram is operable upon execution and in response to selection by
`
`a user ofone ofsaid items to access the associated information resource over the
`
`network. ” [Id. at 1] 52]. Kikinis also discloses that the user may select one of the
`
`user—selectable items (117, 118, 120, 122) on the user-specific home page (73).
`
`[Id. at 1] 52]. In response the system will access, using the Internet (i.e., over the
`
`network), one or more files of the lower-order data bases (89, 91, 93, 95)
`
`associated with the selected user—selectable item.
`
`[Id. at {I 52]. Then, as shown in
`
`FIG. 3, when an item is selected, a browser window (e.g., Voice-mail browser
`
`window 125) is opened and the user selected item is accessed.
`
`[Id. at ll 52]. Voice
`
`mail browser window 125 of FIG. 3 is a “browser window” because Kikinis states:
`
`“Fig. 3 shows an example set 111 ofwindows accessible in a home page for
`
`accessing electronic documents by using the facilities ofa Web browser.” [Id. at 1]

`
`52]. Thus, Kikinis discloses “wherein saidprogram is operable upon execution
`
`and in response to selection by a user ofone ofsaid items to access the associated
`
`information resource over the network. ” [Id. at 1] 52].
`
`Kikinis discloses that the browser (109) retrieves a user-specific home page
`
`(73), which necessarily would require receiving a user profile from the server (69).
`
`[Ex. 1005, 1] 53]. The user specific home page (73) displays user-selectable items
`
`(117, 118, 120, 122) for user links contained within the user profile.
`
`[Id. at 1] 53].
`
`Thus, Kikinis discloses “said program being operable upon execution to receive
`
`from server one ofthe user profiles and to display a user-selectable item for user
`
`links contained within the user profile. ” [Id. at 1] 53].
`
`Kikinis discloses that a user may select one of the user-selectable items (117,
`
`118, 120, 122) to access one or more files of the lower-order data bases (89, 91, 93,
`
`95) associated with the user’s home page (73).
`
`[EX. 1005, 1] 54]. Such items (117,
`
`1 18, 120, 122) have links in order to access the files of the lower-order data bases
`
`(89, 91, 93, 95).
`
`[Id. at 1] 54]. In particular, Kikinis discloses that the voice mail
`
`database 93 has been accessed because the voice mail browser window (125) is
`
`opened. [Id at 1] 54]. Thus, Kikinis discloses “said program further being
`
`operable in response to selection by a user ofone ofthe user links to access the file
`
`associated with the selected user linkfrom the user library associated with the
`
`received user profile.” [Id. at 1] 54].

`
`Thus, as shown above, Kikinis discloses every limitation of claim 2 of the
`
`’290 patent.
`
`[Ex. 1005, 11 55]. Therefore, Kikinis anticipates and invalidates claim
`
`2 of the ’290 patent.
`
`2.
`
`Kikinis Anticipates Claim 3
`
`Each of the elements of claim 3 is disclosed in Kikinis.
`
`[Ex. 1005, 11 57].
`
`Kikinis discloses that, after the user selects the Web destination and enters the
`
`URL, the browser accesses the selected Web destination (information resource)
`
`using the Internet (i. e., over the network).
`
`[Id. at 11 56]. Kikinis uses a browser to
`
`access the Web destination to retrieve the user home page (information resource
`
`73).
`
`[Id. at 11 56]. Thus, Kikinis discloses “wherein saidprogram is operable upon
`
`execution and in response to selection by a user ofone ofsaid items to access the
`
`associated information resource over the network using a browser.” [Id. at 11 56].
`
`Kikinis also discloses that the user-specific home page (73) includes user-
`
`selectable items (117, 118, 120, 122) to access, using the Internet (i.e., over the
`
`network), one or more files of the lower-order data bases (89, 91, 93, 95)
`
`associated with a particular user-selectable item.
`
`[Id. at 11 56]. User home page
`
`(73) of FIG. 3 is a “browser window” because Kikinis states: “Fig. 3 shows an
`
`example set I I I ofwindows accessible in a home page for accessing electronic
`
`documents by using the facilities ofa Web browser.” [Id. at 11 56]. When an item
`
`is selected, the another browser window (e.g., voice mail browser window 125) is
