`
`The ’054 patent includes 376 claims, 25 of which are independent. The
`
`independent claims overlap a great deal, and each is followed by a set of fourteen
`
`dependent claims. Each set of dependent claims is substantially identical.2
`
`The claims of the ’054 patent broadly claim methods for distributing
`
`software to a user station by: (i) identifying software already installed on a user
`
`1 Petitioner consents to service via email to its lead and backup counsel.
`
`2 One minor exception is independent claim 346, which is followed by the standard
`
`fourteen dependent claims and an additional dependent claim (361) that does not
`
`correspond to any of the other dependent claims in the patent.
`

`
`

`

`
`
`station; (ii) presenting a directory of software not installed on the user station; (iii)
`
`
`
`allowing a user to select software from the directory and sending the user’s
`
`selection to a remote computer; and (iv) receiving the selected software from the
`
`remote computer, all of which are disclosed in the prior art. In particular, as
`
`discussed below, the alleged novelty of the claims of the (cid:1932)054 patent is step (ii),
`
`i.e., presenting a directory of software not installed on the user station.
`
`Of the twenty-five independent claims, fourteen are written from the
`
`standpoint of the user station,3 including the three independent claims for which
`
`Covered Business Method Review is requested, claims 151, 181, and 256. Claims
`
`151 and 181 are directed to a method for distributing software updates from a
`
`remote computer to a user station. Claim 256 is directed to a method for installing
`
`software on a user station. Claim 151 is representative of these three independent
`
`claims:
`
`151. A computer implemented method for distributing software
`updates from a remote computer system to a user station, the method
`comprising:
`presenting, at the user station, as a function of an identification
`of software already installed on the user station, a directory of
`software updates available for installation on the user station;
`
`
`3 See claims 1, 31, 61, 91, 121, 151, 181, 211, 241, 256, 271, 286, 316, and 362.
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`sending to the remote computer system over a communications
`network a selection of software updates for distribution to the user
`station, wherein the selection of software updates is selected at the
`user station as a function of the directory; and
`receiving from the remote computer system over the
`communications network software updates indicated by the selection.
`
`Each independent claim includes a set of dependent claims that is
`
`substantially identical. This petition requests review of dependent claims 159, 161,
`
`162, 189, 191, 192, 264, 266, and 267. Claims 159, 189, and 264 are all
`
`substantially identical, requiring automatic installation of software. Claim 159 is
`
`representative:
`
`159. The method of claim 151, wherein, once the software
`updates indicated by the selection are received from the remote
`computer system, the software updates are automatically installed on
`the user station.
`
`Similarly, claims 161, 191, and 266 are all substantially identical, requiring
`
`that the method use an HTML viewer. Claim 161 is representative:
`
`161. The method of claim 151, wherein the method is facilitated
`using an HTML viewer at the user station.
`
`Claims 162, 192, and 267 are all substantially identical, requiring that the
`
`communications network be the Internet. Claim 162 is representative:
`
`162. The method of claim 151, wherein the communications
`network includes the Internet.

`
`A ‘covered business method (“CBM”) patent’ is a patent that claims a
`
`method or corresponding apparatus for performing data processing or other
`
`operations used in the practice, administration, or management of a financial
`
`product or service, except that the term does not include patents for technological
`
`inventions. AIA, § 18(d)(1). To institute a CBM review, a patent need only have
`

`
`aspects of financial products and services such as providing financial planning and
`
`portfolio management systems, enabling electronic tax and government filings, or
`
`to obtain current statistics, place stock orders, and the like. See, e.g., (cid:1932)054 patent
`
`col. 21:9-21.
`
`The PTAB has explained that the definition of a CBM patent is “broadly
`
`interpreted and encompass[es] patents claiming activities that are financial in
`
`nature, incidental to a financial activity or complementary to a financial activity.”
`
`Exhibit 1005, pp. 21-22 (citing 77 Fed. Reg. 157 (August 14, 2012) 48734, 48735).
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`The definition is not limited to “products or services of the financial services
`
`
`
`industry” and does not require a “literal recitation of the terms financial products or
`
`services.” Exhibit 1005, pp. 21-23 (citing 77 Fed. Reg. 157 (August 14, 2012)
`
`48734, 48736). Rather, the term financial “is an adjective that simply means
`
`relating to monetary matters.” Exhibit 1005, p. 23. Thus, if even a single claim of a
`
`patent – interpreted in light of the specification of the patent and the knowledge of
`
`a person of ordinary skill in the art – encompasses the practice, administration, or
`
`management of a financial product or service, then the patent satisfies the
`
`“financial product or service” requirement for a CBM patent. See Exhibit 1003, pp.
`
`5-6; Exhibit 1005, pp. 22-24; Exhibit 1004, 48735-36.
`
`As discussed above, the claims of the (cid:1932)054 patent are directed to identifying
`
`software on a user station, presenting a directory of software that is not installed,
`
`selecting software that is not installed and sending that software, and receiving the
`
`selected software. Transmission may occur over the Internet, and installation may
`
`occur automatically. The (cid:1932)054 patent makes clear that among the types of software
`
`that may be transmitted according to the claims include software related to “for
`
`example, financial planning and portfolio management systems, to obtain current
`
`statistics, place orders, and the like.” (cid:1932)054 patent col. 21:19-(cid:21)(cid:20)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:1932)(cid:19)(cid:24)(cid:23) patent
`
`describes that the claimed method may be used to assist the user in other types of
`
`financial transactions, e.g., filing tax returns. See, e.g., (cid:1932)054 patent col. 21:9-14
`
`7
`
`

`

`
`
`(“Tax or other governmental filings and exchanges: An example of the generality
`
`
`
`of the inventive information transport system for sending and fetching well-defined
`
`information objects of many kinds is in the filing of tax returns. A send
`
`information object can be created and manifested to submit electronic tax filings to
`
`the IRS, as described above, for electronic product order forms.”). Thus, the
`
`claims that recite methods for receiving this financial software recite limitations
`
`that are fundamentally financial in nature. This is true regardless of whether the
`
`claims are construed under the broadest reasonable construction or under the more
`
`narrow construction outlined in Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1316, 75
`
`USPQ2d 1321, 1329 (Fed. Cir. 2005).
`
`Moreover, a person of ordinary skill in the art would have understood that
`
`methods related to periodically transferring software may be associated with
`
`financial services. (cid:1932)054 patent col. 8:29-34 (“a preferred embodiment is that of a
`
`periodically issuing publication or publications, for example, a news magazine or a
`
`collection of patents. Again, the additional information object 26 could be any
`
`information of interest to the user . . . .”). Thus, for at least these reasons, one or
`
`more of (cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:1932)(cid:19)(cid:24)(cid:23)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:3)method “for performing data processing
`
`or other operations used in the practice, administration, or management of a
`
`financial product or service” under Section 18(d)(1) of the AIA.

`
`“technological invention.” See AIA § 18(d)(1). To be directed to a technological
`
`invention, “(1) the claimed subject matter as a whole must recite a technological
`
`feature that is novel and unobvious over the prior art; and (2) it must solve a
`
`technical problem using a technical solution.” Exhibit 1003, p. 8; See 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.301. However, “the presence of a single claim [not directed to a technological
`
`invention] is sufficient to institute a [CBM] review.” Exhibit 1005, p. 26. To
`
`assist in the determination of whether a patent is for a technological invention, the
`
`Office Trial Practice Guide provides that the following would not typically render
`
`a patent a technological invention:
`
`(a) Mere recitation of known technologies, such as computer
`hardware, communication or computer networks, software, memory,
`computer readable storage medium, scanners, display devices, or
`databases, or specialized machines, such as ATM or point of sale
`device.
`(b) Reciting the use of known prior art technology to accomplish a
`process or method, even if the process or method is novel and non-
`obvious.
`(c) Combining prior art structures to achieve the normal, expected, or
`predictable result of that combination. Exhibit 1004, p. 48763-64.

`As discussed abo(cid:89)(cid:72)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:72)(cid:68)(cid:70)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:79)(cid:68)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:73)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:1932)(cid:19)(cid:24)(cid:23)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:86)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:3)(cid:80)(cid:72)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)
`
`distributing software to a user station by: (i) identifying software already installed
`
`on a user station; (ii) presenting a directory of software not installed on the user
`
`station; (iii) allowing a user to select software from the directory and sending the
`
`user’s selection to a remote computer; and (iv) receiving the selected software.
`
`The technologies recited in the patent claims - a computer and a network - were
`
`well-known in the prior art and thus do not render the claims drawn to
`
`technological inventions, even if the recited methods are presumed to be novel and
`
`non-obvious (which they are not). See Exhibit 1003, pp. 7-8. Moreover, the
`
`combination of these well-known technologies leads to a normal, expected, or
`
`predictable result, which is nothing more than identifying data, displaying data,
`
`transmitting data between two computers over a network, and receiving software.
