`

`
`Patent Owner (“PO”) and inventor, Dr. Arunachalam files this Request for Re-
`
`Hearing in a timely manner from PTAB’s Final Written Decision (“FWD”).
`
`PTAB overlooked many key points in its incorrect arguments against: the ‘158
`
`as a technological invention in its FWD pp. 12-15; incorrect claim
`
`constructions pp. 10-12, not in accord with specification or prosecution history
`
`or inventor-coined terms; claims 4-6 as obvious over cited art pp. 19-40; claims
`
`9-10 as unpatentable under 101 in pp. 12-19. PO incorporates by reference all
`
`papers submitted in this case previously, the file history of this patent and its
`
`parent patents in the priority chain, and the record
`
`PTAB failed to construe claim terms in the context of the whole claim.
`
`PTAB overlooked key disclosures in specification, prosecution history and
`
`prosecution history estoppel, in its incorrect claim construction of “POSvc
`
`application,” an inventor-coined term, “VAN Switch,” “object routing” and
`
`“Web application.”. PTAB ignored that the inventor, as her own
`
`lexicographer, coined certain terms and set out certain definitions, “POSvc
`
`application,” “VAN service,”, “service network,” “VAN switch” and provided
`
`clear, unmistakable prosecution disclaimer or disavowal.
`
`Sirbu has not addressed fundamental issues relevant to this patent, namely
`
`that CORBA in 1995, (PTAB need look no further, but just read the CORBA
`
`specification of July 1995 that confirms that CORBA simply did not have a
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`Web interface in 1995, much less did CORBA have an interface to any
`
`application on a Web page or Web browser or Web server, CORBA did
`
`not have POSvc applications on a Web page or Web browser in 1995, same
`
`is true of SNMP. CORBA was completely a back-office function. PTAB’s
`
`reliance on Sirbu’s discussion on Web objects failed to note that it used CGI,
`
`that was disclaimed by the inventor in specification. Sirbu failed to analyze
`
`SNMP in the context of the claims, that SNMP object is different from the
`
`“individual networked object with information entries and attributes” specific to
`
`a POSvc application that must be displayed on a Web page of the subject
`
`patent. Sirbu’s arguments for non-obviousness relied on features not embodied
`
`in the claims, testimony did not conduct an element-by-element comparison of
`
`the claims to the prior art, apply claim construction, or review the prosecution
`
`history of the patents. Each of the cited art belongs in the categories of prior art
`
`already disclaimed by the inventor in columns 1, 2 and 5 of the patent by PO.
`
`PTAB failed to note that Sirbu’ statements are irrelevant to the claimed
`
`inventions, while obfuscating the true issues that had to be addressed.
`
`PO’s Pioneering Invention: Exchange of Structured Data from Web
`Applications Displayed on a Web browser
`
`‘158 patent derives priority from 1995 provisional application S/N
`
`60/006,634. In 1995, applications were local to a Back-office, not connecting
`
`to the Web. The norm was one-way Web browsing, hyperlinking, HTML
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`forms, CGI (‘158: cols 1, 2 and 5). Dr. Arunachalam (“DrA”) solved a complex
`
`technological problem meeting a universal need to draw Back-office
`
`information systems and applications to the Web. Its ubiquitous use achieved
`
`huge commercial success. Inventor, as her own lexicographer, set out certain
`
`definitions and provided clear, unmistakable prosecution disclaimer or
`
`disavowal. PTAB makes conclusory statements with no basis in fact or the law
`
`in FWD pp. 14-15, 26-40: “…a method of performing a transaction by carrying
`
`out certain non-technical steps… directed to a non-technical invention, i.e,
`
`simply transferring funds using known technologies Claim 1 is not drawn to the
`
`Web application or the network...” The inventions in the subject patent have
`
`everything to do with POSvc applications and Web applications, or why would
`
`the PO have coined the term “POSvc application,” “VAN service,” “object
`
`routing,” “service network,” “VAN switch?” Judge Rich, an author of the
`
`Patent Act of 1952, stated: “… a presumption of administrative correctness
`
`attaches to the decision by the PTO to issue a patent.” Candela Laser v.
`
`Cynosure, 862 F.Supp. 632,639 (D. Mass. 1994). “…heightened deference to
`
`fact finding of examiner, as stated in the prosecution history of the patent
`
`application.” Dickenson v. Zurko, 527 U.S. 150 (1999).
`
`. In Mississippi Chem, v. Swift Agricultural Chem. Corp., 717 F.2d 1374
`
`(Fed. Cir. 1983) Federal Circuit… “red flag warning” for court to more
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`carefully consider whether patentee had a full and fair opportunity … if court
`
`adequately comprehended and applied the appropriate substantive standards.
`
`This equally well applies to the PTAB.
`
` “VAN SERVICE” “VAN Service” is a “POSvc Application
`
`displayed on a Web page, that provides a value-add to the
`
`network,” supported by specification: ‘158: col. 9, Figs.5C, 5B, 5D,
`
`6A: “VAN service 704” or “application service 704” is disclosed as a
`
`point-of-service application (POSvc Application) displayed on a Web
`
`page. “POSvc Application” is the “value-add” to the network (eg.
`
`Web banking).
`
`
`
`“SERVICE NETWORK” Consistent with above,
`
`“Service” is “VAN Service,” or “POSvc Application” displayed on a Web
`
`page. This is consistent ‘158: cols. 1and 2 , which discloses “application or
`
`service.”
`
`“Service network” is “an OSI application layer network running on top
`
`of a facilities network and that provides value-added network (VAN)
`
`services.” “VAN Services” are “POSvc Applications displayed on a Web
`
`page, that provide value-add to the network,” (eg, Web banking POSvc
`
`Application is an example of a value-add to the network.) A “facilities
`
`network” is “an IP-based network with physical hardware components
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`that provides underlying network communication services up to layer 4
`
`of the OSI model.” PTAB construed, distinguishing between a facilities
`
`network (which provides the underlying network services from layers 1-4 of
`
`the OSI model) and a service network which provides the value-added
`
`services like Web banking. Specification discloses that a necessary
`
`component of a service network is a POSvc Application displayed on a Web
`
`page.
`
`PTAB failed to note: priority provisional application 60/006,634 from which
`
`the ‘158 patent derives distinguishes service network from facilities network
`
`“…Web…medium for electronic commerce (EC), new value - added
`network (VAN) services are expected to emerge… simple telephone
`call is…well - known example of a value - added network
`service…telephone network has two different but interrelated aspects:
`In terms of its physical components, it is a "facilities network." In
`terms of the varieties of VAN services that it provides, it is a set of
`many "traffic networks", each representing a particular
`interconnection of facilities. Traffic is the flow of multi–media
`information through the network.
`
`…transaction of daily commerce, such as ordering and paying for
`pizza…home banking… payroll services for businesses from banks,
`offered as a VAN service. …Internet, like… telecommunications
`network, is a system of interconnected facilities that could carry
`traffic from a variety of EC services. From the perspective of its
`physical components, …"Facilities Network" for EC exists
`today…There is no direct access to…end user from...VAN service
`providers, such as a Bank. There are some missing elements needed to
`capture and control the end user environment. The "Traffic Network"
`is THE challenge.” (Prov. App. S/N 60/006,634)
`
`POSvc application:
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`
`Once Bank POSvc Application 510 has been activated, user 100
`will be able to connect to Bank services and utilize the application
`to perform banking transactions…This connection between user
`100 and Bank services is managed by exchange 501.
`
`…provide intra-merchant…services…inter-merchant services. For
`example, if Bank creates a POSvc Application for use by …Bank HR
`POSvc Application…” (‘158: cols 6 and 7)
`
` PTAB failed to note that prosecution history estoppel prevents PO or
`
`USPTO to change the construction of term, that was agreed to
`
`between inventor and original Examiner in order for claim to issue by
`
`distinguishing a VAN switch as OSI application layer switch from
`
`network layer switch to distinguish from the then cited prior art,
`
`Focsaneanu, during original prosecution of 6,212,556 patent),
`
`deriving priority from same provisional application 60/006,634). The
`
`key applications component of a VAN switch, POSvc Application
`
`displayed on a Web page, referred to as VAN service 704, must be
`
`included in construction of VAN switch, as also boundary services
`
`component of VAN switch. (‘158: cols. 5, 7, 6, 9, 8; Figs 5B, 5C,
`
`5D, 6A). Without boundary services component of VAN switch,
`
`Back-Office is an island (the prior art in 1995), not connected to a
`
`front-end POSvc Application displayed on a Web page, because
`
`boundary services component provides the interface between VAN
`
`switch, Web and front-end POSvc Application displayed on a Web
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`
`page and on-line service provider or Web Merchant. ( ‘158:col. 8)
`
`This was overlooked by PTAB in its construction of VAN switch.
`
`These two key components of VAN switch differentiate prior art from
`
`the present invention. “A clear and complete prosecution file record
`
`is important in that “[p]rosecution history estoppel requires that…
`
`claims of a patent be interpreted in light of the proceedings in…PTO
`
`during the application process.” “…the court held that “a narrowing
`
`amendment made to satisfy any requirement of the Patent Act may
`
`give rise to an estoppel.”
`
`The algorithm, contrary to PTAB’s allegations, is clearly specified in
`
`specification (‘158:cols.4, 5, 7, 8, 9;) and in ‘500 and parent patent
`
`5,778,178 (‘178) file histories.
`
`“…Examiner contends…Davison teaches…claimed elements in "an
`HTML Web page with URL links to application programs," thus
`rendering… claimed invention unpatentable. Applicants respectfully
`submit… object identities according
`to the presently claimed
`invention are distinctly different from an HTML page with URL links.
`As claimed in…pending claims, the object identity represents a
`networked object…establishes the individual object as an "IP'-
`reachable" or accessible node on the Internet. This Internet address is
`used to uniquely identify and access the object from the virtual
`information store. This type of an "object" is significantly different
`from an HTML page that is accessed via a URL. Although an HTML
`page may be utilized by a user to specify… type of transaction desired
`(e.g. a POSvc Application is essentially viewed by the user as a Web
`page, as described in… specification),… HTML page described in
`Davison is simply an entry form and does not provide any type of
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`
`object routing capability, as presently claimed. Davison describes how
`to create a standard HTML Web page that contains HTML forms.
`These forms are non-interactive Web pages that do not allow a user to
`perform live, real-time, bi-directional transactions, with object
`routing, as claimed.
`
`In contrast, according to the presently claimed invention, if a Web
`Merchant decides to offer a POSvc Application that allows access to
`checking and savings accounts, the object identities according to the
`claimed invention refer to the individual checking and savings
`accounts, not to… POSvc Application Web page. Each account is an
`individual network addressed object that is accessible on the network.
`Thus, each account
`is an object
`identity associated with
`information entries and attributes, and the object identity represents
`a networked object. The object identity (the account) is associated
`with a unique network address, and the unique network address is
`utilized to identify and route the object identity on the Web/network.
`This type of an object routing system is not taught or suggested by
`Davison. As such Applicant respectfully submits that the claimed
`invention is patentable over Davison.” (’178/’500 file histories)]
`
`PTAB erred by misapplying “broadest reasonable interpretation”
`
`(“…not a rule of claim construction,” per CAFC Judge Newman to
`
`arrive at a legally incorrect interpretation, without exploring the metes
`
`and bounds to which Plaintiff is entitled, particularly as this term was
`
`coined by inventor and can only take on the meaning ascribed to it by
`
`inventor in specification and file history. PTAB missed specification
`
`discloses:
`
`a POSvc Application is a transactional application, from which a Web
`user 100 transacts and must be displayed on a Web page; POSvc
`Application is an application that executes the type of transaction
`that the user may be interested in performing.
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`
`“POSvc Applications 510 are transactional applications, namely
`applications that are designed to incorporate and take advantage of…
`capabilities provided by the present invention…switching, object
`routing, application and service management functions.” (‘158: col. 6)
`
`“…POSvc Application is an application that can execute the type of
`transaction that the user may be interested in performing.
`…POSvc
`list
`is displayed via… graphical user
`interface
`component. One embodiment of the present invention supports
`HyperText Markup Language as
`the graphical user
`interface
`component...” (‘158:6)
`
`Nor did PTAB address the fact that such an application is a “transactional
`
`application[] . . .designed to incorporate and take advantage of the
`
`capabilities provided by the present invention,” including “switching, object
`
`routing, application and service management functions.” So, the POSvc
`
`Application is a transactional application that displays an individual
`
`networked object identity with information entries and attributes (Fig.
`
`5D), designed to incorporate object routing, (“NAME,” “PASSWORD”)
`
`displayed on Web page. (‘158:7) also details information entries, such as,
`
`user 100, checking, savings account #s, $500 for attributes, name of user,
`
`checking, savings accounts, amount transferred, in checking account object
`
`identity, which is an individual networked object that uniquely identifies a
`
`specific instantiation of the object.. PTAB’s construction also disregards the
`
`ability of a POSvc Application to “perform . . . robust, real-time transactions
`
`from a Web client is a significant aspect of the present invention.” (‘158:
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`
`col. 7) Figs. 4B, 5B-D, 6A illustrate a POSvc Application being displayed
`
`on a Web page ( ‘158: cols. 7, 8. See ‘178/‘500 file histories.)
`
`While ‘158:6 describes “POSvc Application” as “an application that can
`
`execute the type of transaction that the user may be interested in
`
`performing,” PTAB’s construction fails to reflect even this aspect of the
`
`patent. PTAB overlooked the goal of the patent is for a Web user to perform
`
`a real-time Web transaction from a POSvc Application displayed on a Web
`
`page and that this capability did not exist for a Web user prior to the present
`
`invention. See ‘158:5.
`
`PTAB’s construction is so broad as to encompass a CGI program or even a
`
`Web browser, which the specification distinguishes away.
`
` ““The present invention is independent of…Web browser being
`utilized and… user can use any Web browser, without modifications
`to…Web browser.” (‘158:col. 3)
`
`POSvc Application displayed on a Web page is a Web client
`
`displayed on a Web browser or Web page and is the front-end client
`
`program Web user 100 utilizes to run the application to perform two-way
`
`real-time transactions from the Web Merchant Web Application.
`
`Specification states: “Web user 100:will be able to connect to Bank services
`
`and utilize the application to perform banking transactions,
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`
`Figs.5C, 5D and specification show that POSvc Application has and displays
`
`networked objects with both attributes and information entries.
`
`“Web Application” PTAB incorrectly construed “Web Application,” not in
`
`accord with specification, intrinsic or extrinsic record or in view of claim as
`
`a whole. A Web Application is “an application that is a Web client displayed
`
`in a Web browser,” and this is “a significant aspect of the present invention.”
`
`Construction for “Web Application” is same as POSvc Application.
`
`“OBJECT ROUTING”: PTAB, misled by SAP, missed specification (
`
`‘158:8) and ‘500 file history (see above), support construction of “object
`
`routing” as “OSI application layer routing of individual networked objects
`
`from a selected POSvc Application displayed on a Web page to a Web
`
`Merchant’s services.” The construction for “individual networked objects”
`
`is “the information entries and attributes in a DOLSIB.” “DOLSIB is a
`
`virtual information store optimized for networking.” ‘158:8. The priority
`
`Provisional Application 60/006,634 discloses:
`
` “uniquely identify, retrieve and route dynamically changing information
`elements that have to be accessed remotely, using multi - media, object
`routing.”
`
`
`
`Specification does not restrict “object routing” to TMP and does not
`
`require a unique IP address to be hierarchically assigned to each object.
`
`These are embodiments of the invention.
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`
`“A ROUTED TRANSACTIONAL DATA STRUCTURE THAT IS
`BOTH COMPLETE AND NON-DEFERRED, IN ADDITION TO
`BEING SPECIFIC TO THE POSVCAPPLICATION”
`
`OSI application layer routing of individual networked objects—information
`
`entries and attributes in a DOLSIB, a virtual information store (“VIS”)
`
`optimized for networking —from a POSvc Application displayed on a Web
`
`page or in a Web browser is used to complete the transfer of funds in a real-
`
`time Web transaction in a funds transfer Web Application/POSvc
`
`Application displayed on a Web page, as claimed in ‘158 patent. A VIS is a
`
`“transient information store in which information entries and attributes are
`
`associated with a networked object identity;” a database is a real information
`
`store. OSI application layer routing occurs ‘from a POSvc Application
`
`displayed on a Web page or Web browser.’ VIS in the ‘158 patent includes
`
`both information entries and attributes, all alleged prior art only contain one
`
`or the other, but not both.
`
`In 1995, merchant services interfaced with front-end applications at live
`
`teller, ATM machine or call center agent, but POSvc Web banking
`
`applications on a Web page were non-existent, until DrA’s inventions. An
`
`enterprise does not allow access to Back-Office applications for security
`
`reasons. This is why Web Merchant has provided Web user with POSvc
`
`Applications at front-end on Web page or Web browser. Web user 100
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`
`interacts with POSvc Application on Web page and interactive data structure
`
`in POSvc Application with information entries and attributes (which is a
`
`complete, encapsulated whole) to make a transaction request and perform a
`
`real-time transaction as he would with live teller or ATM machine. (“A
`
`patent specification is not a catalog of all known technologies.”
`
`MPEP2161.01; A patent need not teach, and preferably omits, what is well-
`
`known in the art, , and need not specify what one of ordinary skill in the art
`
`knows already, for example, an object or data structure. This complete data
`
`structure with information entries and attributes is specific to POSvc
`
`Application from which Web user transacts (‘158:cols. 6, 7) and instantiated
`
`by Web user and routed to complete a real-time (or non-deferred) Web
`
`transaction. This data structure, called object identity with information
`
`entries and attributes, is interactive and this interactive object data structure
`
`is what makes the data structure transactional. Claim 1 in ‘158 patent is
`
`patentable under 101 and 112, 2nd paragraph. PTAB failed to construe
`
`claim term in view of whole claim. ‘178/‘500 file histories state that the
`
`individual data structure in the ‘500 patent “is significantly different from an
`
`HTML page that is accessed via a URL.” The individual data structure—
`
`like that in Fig.5D —in the example of a Web banking application, refer to
`
`individual checking and savings accounts; “each account is an individual”
`
`
`
`14
`
`

`
`data structure—“object identity— associated with information entries and
`
`attributes” that “represents a networked object.” Such construction is
`
`consistent with specification that “[t]he networked object identity identifies
`
`the information entries and attributes in the DOLSIB as individual
`
`networked objects”—information entries and attributes, which are values of
`
`the characteristics of an individual data structure and characteristics of an
`
`individual data structure. ( ‘158:8). ’158 patent relates to application layer
`
`routing of an individual data structure with information entries and attributes
`
`from a POSvc Application on a Web page. “Application layer routing,” in
`
`turn, “creates an open channel for the management, and the selective flow of
`
`data from remote databases on a network.”( ‘158:5). PTAB has erroneously
`
`applied the Alice court decision. PO has just evidenced why claim 1 does
`
`recite patent-eligible subject matter, why this should not be a CBM because
`
`it solves a technological problem and is a technological invention. This
`
`explanation was overlooked by the PTAB and solves all the 101; 112, 2nd
`
`paragraph issues. In FWD p. 23, PTAB overlooked that SFCU and
`
`Computerworld did not conduct real-time transactions, they conducted
`
`deferred transactions via email, one-way browsing, Web forms and
`
`hyperlinking. PTAB admits “Lawlor operates over standard phone
`
`networks.” (FWD, p.23”…accessible through a dial-up gateway,” (FWD, p.
`
`
`
`15
`
`

`
`21), all of which prior art technologies have been disclaimed in the patent
`
`specification at Cols 1, 2, 5. PTAB denied PO due process and her
`
`constitutional right to request an impartial tribunal. PTAB Chief Judge
`
`McNamara holds direct stock in Microsoft, a Third Party Requester in three
`
`ex-parte and inter-partes re-exams against PO’s three parent patents to the
`
`subject patent ,and financial holdings via mutual funds in the Petitioner, SAP
`
`(and J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, CitiBank, who were sued on the same three
`
`patents that are under IPR and CBM review by PTAB Judge McNamara).
`
`Upon PO’s request to recuse, he refused to recuse and sanctioned her by
`
`denying her access to PRPS system. DE District Court Judge Robinson re-
`
`defined the term “financial interest, ” vastly different from IRS and
`
`accounting definitions of that term
`
`CONCLUSION: For at least the reasons set forth herein, PO requests
`
`PTAB to allow all claims.
