`

`Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response
`IPR2017-01933 (U.S. Patent 8,478,799)
`Petitioner thanks the Board for the opportunity provided in the Order issued
`
`February 21, 2018 (Paper 7) to respond to the real party-in-interest allegations
`
`made in Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response (“POPR,” Paper 6).
`
`Petitioner reaffirms that the Petition (“Pet.,” Paper 1) correctly named only
`
`Cisco Systems, Inc. (“Cisco”) as a real party-in-interest. Springpath, Inc.
`
`(“Springpath”) did not participate in, fund, direct, or control the preparation or
`
`filing of the petition, and Cisco and Springpath were not in privity as of the filing
`
`date. Patent Owner’s allegations are without evidence and without merit.
`
`A. Relevant Facts
`
`Cisco filed its petition in this case before it agreed to acquire Springpath,
`
`before it announced its intent to do so, and before it completed that acquisition:
`
` Aug. 11, 2017: Cisco filed the petition in this case. See Paper 1.
`
` Aug. 19, 2017: Cisco agreed to acquire Springpath. Ex. 1063 at 2.
`
` Aug. 21, 2017: Cisco announced an intent to acquire Springpath. Ex. 2002.
`
` Sept. 22, 2017: Cisco acquired Springpath. Ex.1062 at 1; Ex. 1064 at 2-3.
`
`B.
`
`The Petition is Complete Because Springpath was Not a Real
`Party-in-Interest at the Time of Filing
`
`The Board should not deny the Petition because it properly identifies Cisco
`
`as the only real party-in-interest at the time of filing. Pet. at 13; see POPR at 2;
`
`see also 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(2) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(1).
`
`The Board’s precedent clarifies that whether a party is a real party-in-interest
`
`2
`
`

`

`Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response
`IPR2017-01933 (U.S. Patent 8,478,799)
`depends on “the relationship between a party and a proceeding” not “the
`
`relationship between parties.” Aruze Gaming Macau, Ltd. v. MGT Gaming, Inc.,
`
`IPR2014-01288, Paper 13 at 11 (PTAB Feb. 20, 2015). The Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide also provides factors for determining whether a party is a real party
`
`in interest such as whether a non-party exercises control over a petitioner’s
`
`participation in a proceeding or whether a non-party is funding or directing the
`
`proceeding. 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,759-60 (Aug. 14, 2012).
`
`Here, there is no evidence to show that Springpath has controlled, funded, or
`
`directed this proceeding, had the opportunity to control this proceeding, or was
`
`involved in any way in initiating this proceeding. Therefore, Springpath is not a
`
`real party-in-interest. Id.; see also Aruze Gaming at 11-12. Further, there is no
`
`evidence to show that Springpath influenced, or sought to influence, Cisco’s
`
`independent decision to initiate this proceeding. Thus, Springpath is not
`
`impermissibly “litigating through a proxy.” Aruze Gaming at 12.
`
`Patent Owner’s argument is empty because there is no supporting evidence.
`
`POPR at 6. Patent Owner’s arguments, unsupported by evidence, fail to rebut the
`
`presumption that Cisco’s Petition accurately identifies all real parties-in-interest.
`
`See Medtronic, Inc. v. Robert Bosch Healthcare Sys., Inc., Case IPR2014-00488,
`
`Paper 52 at 6-7 (PTAB Mar. 16, 2015).
`
`Patent Owner’s cited cases are readily distinguished on the facts. First, in the
`
`3
`
`

`

`Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response
`IPR2017-01933 (U.S. Patent 8,478,799)
`Medtronic case, Medtronic filed a petition after completing the acquisition of
`
`Cardiocom. Medtronic at 3-4. The evidence also showed that Cardiocom had
`
`funded preparation of Medtronic’s petitions. Medtronic at 14. In stark contrast,
`
`Cisco filed the instant Petition before even announcing its intent to acquire
`
`Springpath and a month before completing the acquisition. There is also no
`
`evidence that Springpath funded any activity related to this proceeding. Thus, this
`
`case is nothing like the facts of Medtronic.
`
`The RPX v. VirnetX case is also factually unlike this case. There, the Board
`
`found that Apple discussed a proposal with RPX to challenge patents through inter
`
`partes review and provided $500,000 to fund RPX’s efforts. See IPR2014-00171,
`
`Paper 57 at 4-5 (PTAB July 14, 2014). The Board also found that Apple made
`
`available its counsel and expert to RPX. Id. at 7. Here, no evidence has been
`
`submitted of such interactions between Springpath and Cisco. Cisco filed the
`
`Petition for its own reasons, not as a proxy for Springpath.
`
`Accordingly, the Petition properly named only Cisco as the real party-in-
`
`interest. Patent Owner’s allegation that Cisco’s Petition was incomplete is
`
`therefore not correct. See Lumentum v. Capella, IPR2015-00739, Paper 38 at 6
`
`(Mar. 4, 2016) (precedential). Cisco’s Petition was complete when filed.
`
`C. Cisco and Springpath Were Not in Privity at the Time of Filing
`
`Moreover, because Springpath and Cisco were not in privity when Cisco
`
`4
`
`

`

`Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response
`IPR2017-01933 (U.S. Patent 8,478,799)
`filed the Petition, denial of Cisco’s Petition would unfairly deprive Cisco of a full
`
`and fair opportunity to litigate validity of the ’799 patent—an opportunity Cisco
`
`has not had before. See Aruze Gaming at 13.
`
`The Board has repeatedly found that “it is only privity relationships up until
`
`the time a petition is filed that matter; any later-acquired privies are irrelevant.”
`
`Semiconductor Components Indus. v. Power Integrations, Inc., Case IPR2016-
`
`00995, Paper 26 at 10 (PTAB Oct. 18, 2017) (quoting Synopsys, Inc. v. Mentor
`
`Graphics Corp., Case IPR2012-00042, Paper 60 at 12 (PTAB Feb. 19, 2014)).
`
`In a case where a petitioner filed its petition and (like here) later acquired a
`
`third party, the Board held that §315(b) did not bar institution. See Arris Group,
`
`Inc. v. TQ Delta, LLC, IPR2016-00430, Paper 9 at 6-7 (PTAB July 1, 2016). In
`
`Arris, the Board considered evidence that the petitioner was in the process of
`
`acquiring a third party and had a common defense agreement with the third party,
`
`but found that the petitioner had no control over the third party. Id.
`
`Here, Cisco filed its Petition before acquiring Springpath. There is no
`
`evidence to suggest that as of the petition filing date Cisco had control over, or the
`
`legal right to assume control over, Springpath, or vice versa. Indeed, Cisco and
`
`Springpath had not even agreed to an acquisition, let alone completed it. Patent
`
`Owner’s attempt to use Cisco’s option to acquire Springpath to imply a privity
`
`relationship is unsupported by facts or applicable law. Even an acquisition
`
`5
`
`

`

`Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response
`IPR2017-01933 (U.S. Patent 8,478,799)
`agreement does not create privity, much less an option to acquire. See Arris at 6-7.
`
`Patent Owner’s reference to common interest privilege is irrelevant because
`
`“undertaking a joint defense and assertion of a common interest privilege does not,
`
`without more, indicate privity.” Petroleum Geo-Services, Inc. v. WesternGeco,
`
`LLC, IPR2014-01475, slip op. at 19 (Mar. 17, 2015); see also Weatherford Int’l v.
`
`Packers Plus Energy Svcs., Inc., IPR2016-01517, Paper 23 at 14 (Feb. 23, 2017).
`
`Patent Owner does not allege that any of the Taylor factors imply privity
`
`between Cisco and Springpath, and none of those factors applies here. Nonparty
`
`preclusion cannot be based on mere “identity of interests and some kind of
`
`relationship between parties and nonparties.” See Taylor v. Sturgell, 553 U.S. 880,
`
`901 (2008). Control is an important factor to establish privity. Id. at 893-95. But
`
`Patent Owner offers no argument—let alone any evidence—of the “control” factor.
`
`D. Conclusion
`
`Because Cisco was properly named as the sole real party-in-interest, and
`
`because Cisco and Springpath were not in privity as of the filing date, § 315(b)
`
`does not bar institution of Cisco’s Petition.
`
`Petitioner believes that its original identification of Cisco as the sole real
`
`party-in-interest remains correct today. If the Board believes that, as a result of the
`
`acquisition, Cisco should file updated mandatory notices including Springpath as a
`
`real party-in-interest, Cisco will comply with such a request or order.
