`Patent 7,093,086
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Relief Requested and Why the Board Should Deny the
`Motion to Amend
`
`Petitioner Veeam Software Corporation ("Veeam") respectfully requests that
`
`the Board deny Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend because Patent Owner’s motion
`
`is procedurally and substantively defective. First, Patent Owner has not met its
`
`threshold burden of establishing patentability of the substitute claims. Second, the
`
`proposed substitute claims are unpatentable over prior art known to the Patent
`
`Owner.
`
`II.
`
`Patent Owner’s First Motion to Amend is Procedurally Deficient
`
`A. Patent Owner has not established that the amended claims are
`patentable.
`
`Patent Owner Symantec had the burden to support its motion and establish
`
`the "patentable distinction [of the amended claims] over the prior art of record and
`
`also prior art known to the patent owner."
`
`See Idle Free Systems, Inc. v.
`
`Bergstrom, Inc., Case 1PR2012-00027, Paper 26 (June 11, 2013), p. 7 (emphasis
`
`added); see also 37 C.F.R. § 42.20(c). If the proposed amendment does not
`
`"respond to a ground of unpatentability involved in the trial," the motion to amend
`
`may be denied. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(i). Patent Owner’s Motion does not
`
`satisfy this burden.
`
`Patent Owner only addresses patentability of the amended claims over five
`
`of the six references presented in Veeam’s IPR petition. Despite this cursory
`
`-1-
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`treatment of patentability, Patent Owner, relying on its expert, Dr. Green, states
`
`that "[n]o combination of the prior art references cited in the Petition, nor any other
`
`prior art references of which Patent Owner is aware, disclose, teach, or suggest
`
`each and every limitation as recited in the substitute claims." (Motion to Amend,
`
`p. 6 (Paper No. 27).) This conclusory statement is inaccurate, in this case, where
`
`Patent Owner has received a significant amount of highly relevant prior art in the
`
`two co-pending district court litigations involving the ’086 patent and during its
`
`prosecution of a continuation application of the ’086 patent.
`
`Nevertheless, Dr. Green’s declaration inexplicably does not reference any
`
`prior art beyond the prior art cited in this proceeding. At deposition, Dr. Green
`
`testified that he did not review or consider any of the other prior art clearly known
`
`to the Patent Owner:
`
`(cid:149) the references applied against similar claims in the continuation of the
`
`’086 patent. (See Green Tr.’, 290:7-291:6.)
`
`(cid:149) the references cited in the invalidity contentions served by Veeam on
`
`Patent Owner in the co-pending district court litigation between the
`
`parties (See Green Tr., 294:2-10.)
`
`(cid:149) the references cited in the invalidity contentions for the ’086 patent
`
`served by Acronis in Symantec Corp. v. Acronis, Case No: 1 1-cv-053 10
`
`Provided at VEEAM 1026.

`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`(N.D. Cal.). (See Green Tr., 292:11-18.)
`
`Because Patent Owner ignored all of this relevant prior art, Patent Owner cannot
`
`demonstrate that the substitute claims are patentable over all of the prior art of
`
`record known to the Patent Owner, the Motion to Amend should be denied.
`
`B. Patent Owner’s Motion does not set forth the support for each
`proposed substitute claim required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(b)(1).
`
`1.
`
`Patent Owner’s limited statement of support is insufficient.
`
`On pages 4 through 6 of its Motion, Patent Owner asserts that isolated
`
`elements of proposed substitute claims 31-34 are supported in the original
`
`disclosure. This conclusory statement is insufficient because a Patent Owner must
`
`show where the claim as a whole is supported in the original disclosure. See Nichia
`
`Corp. v. Emcore Corp., Case 1PR2012-00005, Paper 27 (June 3, 2013), p. 4. Thus,
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend should be denied.
`
`2.
`
`Substitute claim 31 lacks written description support in the
`specification.
`
`Patent Owner further cannot meet its burden to establish support for
`
`substitute claim 31 because such written description support simply does not exist.
`
`In substitute claim 31, Patent Owner merely seeks to amend the preamble of claim
`
`1 as follows:
`
`A computer readable medium storing a plurality of instructions
`
`comprising instructions for a backup program which, when
`
`-3-
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`executed, interfaces with a separately executing virtual machine
`kernel to: (Motion to Amend, p. 1.)
`The proposed amendment, which is not proper for reasons to be discussed later,
`
`requires the backup program to perform the recited actions of (i) capturing the state
`
`of the virtual machine and (ii) copying at least a portion of the state to a
`
`destination. However, the ’086 patent does not support this amendment because
`
`nowhere does the patent describe that the backup program performs the action of
`
`"captur[ing] a state of a first virtual machine executing on a first virtual system."
`
`Instead, the ’086 patent consistently describes that the capturing of the state is
`
`performed by the VM Kernel.
`
`(See e.g., ’086 patent2, 4:18-22, 6:45-49, 11:32-37,
`
`11:41-44, 11:58-66, 12:12-18, 12:25-26, 12:61-64, 13:26-29, 13-41-43.) For at
`
`least this further reason, the Board should deny the Motion to Amend.
`
`C. Patent Owner’s Claim Amendments Improperly Narrow the
`Claim Scope.
`
`A motion to amend may further be denied where the amendment seeks to
`
`enlarge the scope of the claims of the patent or introduce new subject matter.
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend substitute claims 31 and 34 should be denied
`
`because each fails to narrow the claim that it replaces, in violation of 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.121 (a)(2)(ii).

`Patent 7,093,086
`
`1.
`
`Substitute Claim 31 fails to narrow original claim 1.
`
`Because substitute claim 31 does not narrow the scope of original claim 1, it
`
`cannot be a substitute for that claim. See Idle Free Systems, Inc. v. Bergstrom,
`
`Inc., Case 1PR2012-00027, Paper 26 (June 11, 2013), p.
`
`5. ("A proper substitute
`
`claim under 37 C.F.R. §42.121(a)(i) must only narrow the scope of the challenged
`
`claim it replaces.")
`
`As discussed above, substitute claim 31 amends the preamble of original
`
`independent claim 1. In Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend, Patent Owner does not
`
`claim that the preamble, as amended, is limiting. Nor could it because such an
`
`argument would be wrong the preamble of substitute claim 31 does not act as a
`
`limitation of the claims. Nothing in the explicit language of the amended preamble
`
`gives life, meaning and vitality to the claim; nor do any limitations in the body of
`
`the claim rely upon and find antecedents in the preamble.
`
`See Catalina Mktg. Intl,
`
`Inc. v. Coolsavings.com , Inc., 289 F.3d 801, 808 (Fed.Cir.2002).
`
`Because the amended preamble does not act as a claim limitation, substitute
`
`claim 31 has the same scope as original independent claim 1. For this reason, the
`
`Board should deny substitute claim 31.
`
`2.
`
`Substitute claim 34 improperly narrows original claim 22.
`
`Patent Owner’s substitute claim 34 violates the rule that a "substitute claim
`
`may not enlarge the scope of the challenged claim it replaces by eliminating any
`
`- 5 -
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`feature." Idle Free Systems, at p. 5. The substitute claim improperly enlarges claim
`
`scope by eliminating the limitation "such that the first virtual machine can continue
`
`executing during (ii). Original claim 22 recited "creating a memory area to capture
`
`writes to a memory of the first virtual machine, such that the first virtual machine
`
`can continue executing during (ii)." (’086 patent, claim 22 (emphasis added).)
`
`Patent Owner justifies its elimination of the limitation by arguing that the
`
`same language "struck from substitute claim 34 ... was added to substitute claim
`
`33 (from which claim 34 depends)." (Motion to Amend, p. 6 (emphasis added).)
`
`Patent Owner statement is incorrect. The same language was not added to
`
`substitute claim 33. Substitute claim 33 critically does not require that the creation
`
`of the memory area permits the execution to occur.
`
`When the language "such that the first virtual machine can continue
`
`executing during (ii)" is removed, substitute claim 34 only requires "creating a
`
`memory COW area. . . during execution of the first virtual machine," but does not
`
`require that the creation of the COW area is what permits such execution to occur.
`
`Therefore, substitute claim 34 is broader than original claim 22, which is
`
`impermissible.
`
`III. Substitute Claims 31-34 Are Unpatentable.
`
`The substitute claims merely add well-known elements to the original claims
`
`to create the illusion of patentability. Veeam will show that these additional
`
`

`

`1PR2013-001 50
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`elements are disclosed or rendered obvious by prior art known to the Patent Owner
`
`in this inter partes review proceeding or in the invalidity contentions served on
`
`Patent Owner by Veeam in the co-pending litigation.
`
`A. (cid:9)
`
`Substitute Claim 31 is unpatentable.
`
`Substitute claim 31 is unpatentable over the art of record and art known to
`
`the Patent Owner. The subject matter added by Patent Owner renders substitute
`
`claim 31 unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §112, first paragraph because the ’086
`
`patent describes that the backup program performs the action of capturing the state
`
`of the virtual machine. Instead, the ’086 patent consistently discloses that the VM
`
`Kernel performs the capturing of state.
`
`(See e.g., ’086 patent, 4:18-22, ; 6:45-49,
`
`11:32-37, 11:41-44, 11:58-66, 12:12-18, 12:25-26, 12:61-64,13:26-29, 13-41-43.)
`
`Additionally, because the amended preamble does not limit the claim even
`
`after amendment, the scope of substitute claim 31 is the same as original claim 1
`
`and is, thus, unpatentable for at least the same reasons original independent claim 1
`
`is unpatentable: anticipation by Lim, ESX, and GSG and obviousness over Suzaki
`
`in view of Wang. (Institution Decision, p. 24.)
`
`Even if the preamble limits claim 1, which it does not, substitute claim 31 is
`
`unpatentable over U.S. Patent No. U.S. Patent No. 6,795,966 to Lim (Lim) under
`
`either 35 U.S.C. 102(b) or 35 U.S.0 103(a). As the Board correctly found in its
`
`Institution Decision, Lim discloses each and every element in claim 1. (Institution
`
`-7-
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`Decision, p. 8-12.) Proposed substitute claim 31 adds the additional element of a
`
`"backup program" that "interfaces with a . . . virtual machine kernel" to claim 1.
`
`Lim explicitly discloses this limitation.
`
`Lim describes that the virtual machine monitor can be "directed" to create a
`
`checkpoint: "the virtual machine monitor on which he is operating[] is.
`
`. . directed
`
`using known techniques to generate a checkpoint." (Lim, 22:62-65 (emphasis
`
`added).) More specifically, the virtual machine monitor (i.e. virtual machine
`
`kernel) can be directed to create a checkpoint via a separate program having a
`
`graphical user interface: "[w]henever the user selects, for example "clicks" on, the
`
`icon, a checkpoint request signal would then be passed to the virtual machine
`
`monitor, which would then immediately take or "set" a checkpoint." (Lim,
`
`26:45-
`
`49.) Therefore, Lim explicitly discloses a "backup program" that "interfaces with a
`
`virtual machine kernel," as recited in substitute claim 3 1.
`
`In addition, to the extent that the Board finds that Lim does not disclose a
`
`separate backup program, a person of ordinary skill in the art would have found it
`
`obvious to create such a "backup program" given Lim’s explicit teachings of using
`
`"known techniques" to direct the virtual machine monitor to create checkpoints.

`
`B. (cid:9)
`
`Substitute Claim 32 is Unpatentable.
`
`Substitute claim 32 is unpatentable over Lim in view of "Low-Latency,
`
`Concurrent Checkpointing for Parallel Programs" by Li 4 ("Li") under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§103(a). Li was published in August 1994 in the IEEE Transactions on Parallel
`
`and Distributed Systems journal, more than 7 years prior to the filing date of the
`
`’086 patent, and thus qualifies as prior art under at least 35 U.S.C. 102(b). Li was
`
`provided to Patent Owner as part of Veeam’s invalidity contentions in the co-
`
`pending district court litigation.
`
`The Board correctly recognized in its Institution Decision that Lim explicitly
`
`discloses a "new log of uncommitted updates" and a "memory area." (Institution
`Decision, pp. 11-12.) Substitute claim 32 5 limits the "memory area" to a "memory
`
`Provided at VEEAM 1029
`Substitute claim 32 adds the following limitations to claim 11: wherein (i)
`
`comprises creating a new log of uncommitted updates for each virtual disk in the
`
`first virtual machine and creating a memory COW area to capture writes to a
`
`memory of the first virtual machine,and wherein the instructions, when executed,
`
`write updates subsequent to (i) to each virtual disk in the first virtual machine to
`
`the new log and write updates subsequent to (i) to the memory of the first virtual
`
`machine to the memory COW area durina execution of the first virtual machin
`
`such that the first virtual machine can continue executing during (i) and (ii).
`
`mom
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`COW area" and further adds that "writ[ing] updates subsequent to (i) [capture step]
`
`to each virtual disk in the first virtual machine to the new log" and "writ[ing]
`
`updates subsequent to (i) [capture step] to the memory of the first virtual machine
`
`to the memory COW area during execution of the first virtual machine." Lim also
`
`discloses these limitations.
`
`Lim describes using copy-on-write techniques to record updates to its virtual
`
`disk that occur after a checkpoint has been initiated. (Lirn 6, 23:52:55; see also
`
`Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶J 17-18.) These updates are stored in a "log of
`
`changes" (i.e. a log of uncommitted updates.) (Lim, 11:67-12:3; see also Shenoy
`
`Motion to Amend Dec., ¶ 17.) Further, Lim describes using the same copy-on-
`
`write techniques for tracking updates to memory in a special memory partition (i.e.
`
`a memory COW.) (Lim, 19:51-55; see also Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶J 18-
`
`19.) Thus, Lim discloses "a memory COW area" and "wherein the instructions,
`
`when executed, write updates subsequent to (i) to each virtual disk in the first
`
`virtual machine to the new log and write updates subsequent to (i) to the memory
`
`of the first virtual machine to the memory COW area during execution of the first
`
`virtual machine," as recited in substitute claim 32.
`
`Further, in its Institution Decision, the Board also concluded that Lim’s
`
`virtual machine can execute during the copying step (i.e step ii.). (Institution
`
`6 Provided at VEEAM 1004.
`
`-10-
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`Decision, pp. 11-12.) Substitute claim 32 recites an additional limitation that the
`
`virtual machine can continue to execute during the capturing step. Although Lim
`
`does not explicitly disclose this limitation, as Dr. Shenoy explains, it is not
`
`possible for a virtual machine to have the ability to execute during the entirety of
`
`the capture step described in the ’086 patent. (Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec.,
`
`¶J10-14.) Therefore, this limitation should not be construed so narrowly as to
`
`require continued, uninterrupted execution during the capture step. Because the
`
`virtual machine in Li does execute during portions of the capturing step, Li teaches
`
`this limitation.
`
`Li describes an improved checkpointing algorithm that minimizes the
`
`interruption of a target program while it is being checkpointed. (Shenoy Motion to
`
`Amend Dec., ¶ 24.) Li explains that any interruption to the target program "are for
`
`small, fixed periods of time (under 0.1s in [Li ’s] implementation) . . . ." (Li, p.
`
`874). However, Li describes that the target program can execute during the rest of
`
`the state capture process.
`
`Specifically, Li describes using a copy-on-write (COW) checkpointing
`
`algorithm. The copy-on write checkpointing algorithm of Li creates a separate
`
`address space in main memory to hold updates while the capturing process ensues.
`
`(Li, p. 875.) After creating the new address space, the algorithm then "unfreezes
`
`the processors and starts a separate copier thread that copies pages to the new
`
`-11-
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`address space." (Id. (emphasis omitted).) If the target program tries to write to a
`
`page during the copying process the write is redirected to the new address space,
`
`thus permitting the original memory space to remain static. After the contents of
`
`the main memory are completely copied to the new address space, the main
`
`memory checkpoint is complete and is copied to disk. (Li, pp. 874-875). Thus, Li
`
`describes freezing the processor temporarily to complete a portion of the capturing
`
`process, but then unfreezes to complete the rest of capturing process. After the
`
`capturing is complete, Li’s checkpoint is copied to disk. (See Li, p. 875; see also
`
`Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶ 25.)
`
`A person of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to combine
`
`Lim and Li because each reference describes checkpointing processes. (Shenoy
`
`Motion to Amend Dec., ¶27.) Because Lim’s checkpointing process requires
`
`"interruption" of a virtual machine during the capturing phase, a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art would immediately recognize the benefit of minimizing this
`
`interruption by using a technique taught by Li. (Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶
`
`27.)
`
`Li describes a low-latency algorithm for checkpointing executing processes.
`
`(Li , pp. 874-875). It would have been obvious to apply Li’s known teachings of
`
`low-latency checkpointing to Lim’s known checkpointing process to improve
`
`Lim’s ability to minimize the downtime of its virtual machine’s during its
`
`-12-
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`checkpointing. (Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶ 27.) Applying Li’s low-latency
`
`checkpointing to Lim’s checkpointing would have been "the mere application of a
`
`known technique to a piece of prior art ready for the improvement." KSR Int’l Co.
`
`v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398, 417 (2007)
`
`C. (cid:9)
`
`Substitute Claim 33 is Unpatentable.
`
`Substitute claim 33 is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over
`
`Lim in view of Li. Substitute claim 33 adds the following limitations to claim 12:
`
`(ii) copy at least a portion of the state to a destination separate from
`
`a storage device to which the first virtual machine is suspendable,
`
`wherein suspending the first virtual machine is performed responsive to
`
`a suspend command, wherein the first virtual machine can continue
`
`executing during (i) and (ii);
`
`(iii) determine whether additional virtual machines that have not
`
`been backed up are present on the first computer system; and
`
`(iv) repeat (i) and (ii) for said additional virtual machines.
`
`As explained above for substitute claim 32, Lim in view of Li renders
`
`obvious the limitation of "the first virtual machine can continue executing during
`
`(i) and (ii)." It was well known to a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of
`
`the ’086 invention that virtual machine monitors, as described in Lim, could
`
`execute multiple virtual machines at once. (Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶ 23.)
`
`Because it was well known to person having ordinary skill in the art that virtual
`
`machine monitors could execute multiple virtual machines, it would have been
`
`- 13 -
`
`

`

`1PR2013-00150
`Patent 7,093,086
`
`obvious that these multiple virtual machines would have needed to be
`
`checkpointed as described in Lim and Li. (Shenoy Motion to Amend Dec., ¶ 23.)
`
`Therefore, claim 33 is rendered obvious over Lim in view of Li. A person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to combine Lim with Li for the
`
`reasons described above.
`
`D. (cid:9)
`
`Substitute Claim 34 is Unpatentable.
`
`Substitute claim 34 is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over
`
`Lim in view of Li. Substitute claim 34 adds the following limitations to claim 22:
`
`wherein (i) comprises creating a new log of uncommitted updates
`
