`

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`The '854 patent is directed to a method, system, and computer readable
`
`medium for name and address handling from a computer program. For example, a
`
`user can type a name and address in a document being created with a word
`
`processing program. Through the use of a button, the document is searched and
`
`the name and address are detected. The detected information is then used with
`
`respect to a second application program, such as a database. For example, the user
`
`can add the name and address to an'address book as a new entry, or edit or add
`
`additional address information associated with the name if the name is already in
`
`the address book. If the user types only a name into the document and the database
`
`has the name and a corresponding address, the user can insert the address for the
`
`name into the document being created by the word processing program.
`
`The claims of the '854 patent may be divided into two groups:
`
`(1) claims
`
`directed to performing an operation, such as updating a database with an address;
`
`and (2) claims directed to inserting information into the document, such as an
`
`address. This Petition addresses the second set of claims (17.6., claims 1—18, 36-56,
`
`86—95, 97, 98, 100, and 101). A related petition, filed concurrently, addresses the

`
`first set of claims (i.e., claims 19—35, 57—85, 96, and 99). Two other petitions, also
`
`filed concurrently, address related US. Patents Nos. 7,917,843 and 8,306,993.
`
`Petitioners present herein references (including several originating from
`
`Apple) that anticipate or render obvious the challenged claims of this Petition. The
`
`references make clear that the purported invention of the challenged claims was
`
`well known before the ‘854 patent. Section III of this Petition summarizes the '854
`
`patent and relevant aspects of its prosecution history. Sections V—IX set forth the
`
`detailed grounds for
`
`invalidity of the challenged claims.
`
`This showing is
`
`accompanied by the Declaration of Dr. Daniel A. Menascé (“Menascé Decl.,” EX.
`
`1002.) Accordingly, Petitioners respectfully request a Decision to institute inter
`
`partes review.
`
`III.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE '854 PATENT
`
`A.
`
`Background Of The '854 Patent
`
`The '854 patent is directed to name and address handling within a document
`
`created by a computer program, such as a word processing program.
`
`(1219—27.)
`
`One aspect relates to inserting information from a database into a document. This
`
`is described in connection with the left side of the flow charts of Figs. 1 and 2 and
`
`Examples 1, 5 and 7. Another aspect relates to adding data from a document into a
`
`database. This is described in connection with the right side of Figs. 1 and 2 and
`
`ARENDI 199620
`
`

`

`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 10 of 64 PageID #: 24605
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 10 of 64 PageID #: 24605
`
`Examples 2—4 and 6. Dr. Menascé’s Declaration (EX. 1002) includes highlighted
`
`copies of Fig. 1 corresponding to various examples.
`
`Example 1 relates to inserting an address into the document. Fig. 3 (below)
`
`illustrates a document into which. a name 40 has been entered.
`
`(5163—65.) The user
`
`presses a “OneB utton” button 42.
`
`(6:13—17; Fig. 1 at 2.) A program then analyzes
`
`What the user has typed into the document to detect certain types of information.
`
`(4:25-39; Fig.
`
`1 at 4.)
`
`There is no disclosure as to how this analysis is
`
`accomplished.
`
`in: Mar.'90at: wdid- garment?
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Upon detection, the name is searched in a database.
`
`(5165—623; Fig. 1 at 12.) If the
`
`search returns one matching contact with. only one address, the address is inserted
`
`into the document, as shown in Fig. 4.
`
`(5:65—63; Fig. 1 at 22.) If multiple

`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 11 of 64 PageID #: 24606
`
`matching contacts are found, the user is prompted to select an address for insertion
`
`into the document.
`
`(7:33—49; Fig. 10; Fig. l at 20 and 22.)
`
`B.
`
`Prosecution History Of The '854 Patent
`
`Throughout the prosecution of the '854 patent, Applicant argued that the
`
`distinguishable feature over the applied art was marking information or identifying
`
`information,
`
`such as a name and address
`
`in a document, “without user
`
`79
`
`intervention.
`
`For example, in an Amendment dated January 24, 2008, at 31 (Ex.
`
`1003), Applicant asserted:
`
`Thus, Pandit teaches a system where the user must select text prior to
`
`the system processing the “a selected text”, e.g. col. 5,
`
`line 56).
`
`Neither the AddressMate program nor Pandit teach the element of
`
`“marking without user intervention” or “identifying without user
`
`intervention or designation the first information” either alone or in
`
`combination.
`
`As
`
`set
`
`forth below,
`
`such marking or
`
`identifying information without user
`
`intervention was well—known in the art.
`
`IV. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`
`Petitioners provide constructions of a term and the means—plus—function
`
`limitations. See 37 CPR. § 42.104(b)(3). Petitioners note that a claim is given the
`
`“broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification” in inter partes
`
`review. See 37 C.F.R. §42.100(b). Furthermore, a number of claims contain
`
`means—plus-function limitations under 35 U.S.C. § 112, (H 6 (pre—AIA).
`
`ARENDI 199622
`
`

`

`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 12 of 64 PageID #: 24607
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 12 of 64 PageID #: 24607
`
`A.
`
`“Marking
`
`The First Information To Alert The User”
`
`The recitation “marking
`
`the first information to alert the user” appears in
`
`numerous independent claims.
`
`(See Claims 1, 7, 13.) However, neither the term.
`
`“marking” nor the full recitation appears in the specification. The “854 patent is a
`
`continuation of application No. 09/189,626 filed on November 10, 1998, and the
`
`“marking” recitation was not added until the application that matured into the '854
`
`patent was filed years later in August 6, 2001. Therefore, the specification gives
`
`no guidance as to the meaning of this recitation. Accordingly, the plain meaning
`
`of the recitation is that the first information is detected without user intervention
`
`and has some form of marking or highlighting applied to it to draw the user’s
`
`attention to it. (Menasce Decl. ‘H 49.)
`
`During prosecution, Applicant attempted to provide an expansive reading of
`
`“marking” in order to demonstrate support for the recitation, and asserted that the
`
`program “marks the ‘first information’ in any of a variety of ways” and “may
`
`display the text (the ‘first information”) to the user.” (Amendment dated April 18,
`
`2007 (Ex. 1004), at 30—31.) The portions of the specification identified relate to
`
`generating another screen, e.g., Fig. 9, and not to any direct marking of the first
`
`information itself (which is already displayed in the document) to provide the
`
`recited alerting function. Therefore, because the only possible disclosure of
`
`marking to alert in the specification is provision of a separate dialog box, for this
`
`ARENDI 199623
`
`

`

`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 13 of 64 PageID #: 24608
`Case 1:13-cv-00919-LPS Document 306-4 Filed 03/10/21 Page 13 of 64 PageID #: 24608
`
`proceeding the marking to alert recitation should be construed to encompass both
`
`direct marking (e.g., highlighting or a pop—up at the information being marked) and
`
`display of the information in a separate dialog box.
`
`B. Means-Plus-Function Limitations
`
`For means—plusnfunction limitations, 37 CPR. §42.104(b)(3) requires the
`
`petition to identify the structure corresponding to each claimed function. However,
`
`a
`
`structure that
`
`is not actually disclosed in
`
`the specification cannot be
`
`corresponding structure. Biomedino, LLC v. Waters Techs. Corp, 490 F.3d 946,
`
`948, 952 (Fed. Cir. 2007).
`
`In lPR2013—00152, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied institution of
`
`an inter partes review because, among other reasons,
`
`the means—plus—function
`
`limitations were not amenable to construction. Specifically, the Board analyzed
`
`the specification and concluded that there was no corresponding structure disclosed
`
`in the specification to perform the recited function of various limitations.
`
`(Decision (Paper 8 dated August 19, 2013), at 12, 13, 20.)
`
`It is submitted that the
`
`same situation exists with respect to the claims in this Petition having means—plus-
`
`function limitations,
`
`i.e., Claims 13—18, 50-56, 100, and 101, which are only a
`
`subset of the total claims at issue in this Petition.

`
`VI. GROUNDS BASED ON LIVEDOC/DROP ZONES
`
`A.
`
`Background 0f LiveDoc/Drop Zones
`
`The April 1998 issue of SIGCHI Bulletin was dedicated to Apple’s
`
`Advanced Technology Group. The Bulletin included an introduction section and
`
`two articles, by James Miller and Themas Bonura, describing an Apple technology
`
`that allowed documents to reveal structures for identification and action. The
`
`articles are entitled “From Documents to Object: An Overview of LiveDoc” and
`
`“Drop Zones: An Extension of LiveDoc” and are sequential in the SIGCHI
`
`Bulletin from pages 53—63 (collectively, “LiveDoc/Drop Zones”). LiveDoc/Drop
`
`Zones thus qualifies as prior art under § 102(a) based on the earliest alleged US.
`
`filing date of the '854 patent.
`
`LiveDoc/Drop Zones
`
`discloses
`
`creating
`
`a document
`
`and
`
`entering
`
`information into the document using a text entry application program, such as
`
`shown in Fig. 2 of LiveDoc below.1 (LiveDoc at 53-55.)
`
`‘ Fig. 2 is from a website posting (EX. 1010) of LiveDoc and is identical in content
`
`to the LiveDoc publication accompanying this Petition.

`
`Without user intervention, LiveDoc’s “structure detection” process runs in
`
`the background and highlights information in the document that can be used to
`
`perform a related action.
`
`(LiveDoc at 54-55.) Selecting a highlighted structure
`
`displays a menu of actions that can be performed.
`
`(103.) As just one example,
`
`LiveDoc can identify a molecular formula in a document and provide an action that
`
`presents a three—dimensional rendering of the molecule in the document itself.
`
`(LiveDoc at 57—58.)
`
`This would be achieved through searching a database
`
`containing the three—dimensional
`
`rendering based on the molecular formula
`
`identified in the document.
