`
`Mastermind
`
`112. Mastermind combines a post titled “Mastermind’s In-Game Builder Idea (with
`
`LOADS of pictures!)” and a post titled “Mastermind’s In-Game Builder Post” both made on
`
`September 11, 2013 to a community forum for Clash of Clans by a user using the name
`
`“Mastermind.” I will refer collectively to these forum posts as “Mastermind” or “Mastermind’s
`
`In-Game Builder Idea.” The forum was hosted by Supercell and the postings made thereon were
`
`publicly available on the Internet. Mastermind would thus would have been available to the
`
`public prior to the effective filing date of the ‘594 patent. I understand the version of the posts I
`
`reviewed faithfully represents the posts as they existed before the effective filing date of the ‘594
`
`patent. Mastermind’s In-Game Builder Post was archived by the Internet Archive on September
`
`15, 2013. Mastermind at 10, 12. I further understand that the author of the posts has
`
`authenticated the images shown in the archive of the post on Internet Archive. I understand that

`
`In addition, it is my opinion that a diligent, skilled researcher engaged in a
`
`reasonable search for prior art would not have found Mastermind as a prior art reference even
`
`with the benefit of GREE’s infringement contentions before the filing of the Petition for Post-
`
`Grant Review. A diligent, skilled researcher would not spend time sifting through the
`
`suggestions provided on Internet message boards, as they would normally not include useful or
`
`sufficiently detailed suggestions.

`If called to testify, I will as needed explain the principles and terminology referred
