`
`WARNING:
`Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal Information in documents filed In a patent application that may contribute to
`Identity theft. Personal information, such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers (other than a check or
`credit card authorization form (PT0-2038) submitted for payment purposes), Is never required by the USPTO to support a petition or an
`application. If this type of personal information Is lnduded In documents submitted to the USPTO, petitioners/applicants should consider
`redacting such personal information from the documents before submitting them to the USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record
`of a patent application Is available to the public after publication of the application (unless a non-publication request In compliance with 37 CFR
`1.213(a) Is made in the application or Issuance of a patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the
`public If the application Is referenced In a published application or an Issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization
`forms (PTQ-2038) submitted for payment purposes are not retained In the application file and therefore are not publicly available.

`
`DECLARATION OF SEYMOUR LEVINE IN SUPPORT OF PETITION TO
`ACCEPT UNINTENTIONALLY DELAYED PAYMENT OF
`MAINTENANCE FEE IN AN EXPIRED PATENT (37 CFR 1.378(b))
`
`I, Seymour Levine, declare that:
`
`I am the sole named inventor and owner of reissue patent RE39 ,618, which is
`1.
`a reissue of U.S. Patent 5,974,349. The '349 patent issued on October 26, 1999.
`
`In 2001, I entered into an agreement with a third party that allowed that party
`2.
`to seek a broadening reissue of the '349 patent in exchange for a percentage of any
`income derived from the reissue patent if claims of a certain scope were obtained.
`
`The third party, through counsel, prosecuted the reissue without my
`3.
`involvement beyond my signing of the initial declaration and power of attorney.
`
`I never received a copy of RE39,618, which apparently issued on May 8,
`4.
`2007. I was not aware of the RE39,618 reissue patent until June 2014.
`
`Upon learning of the existence of the RE39,618 patent in June 2014, I
`5.
`checked the maintenance fee page on the USPTO website, which indicated that
`"there are no fees due." See, Exhibit A. Upon learning of the existence of the
`RE39,618 reissue patent last month, I believed that it would expire in the normal
`course on December 17, 2016.
`
`1
`
`BOEING
`Ex. 1004, p. 11
`
`

`
`Although the bibliographic data on the USPTO fee page indicates that a
`6.
`maintenance fee reminder was sent to me on May 30, 2011; I never received any
`such reminder, which the PTO apparently sent to the wrong address since the PTO
`website contains the wrong zip code for my home address, i.e., the PTO website
`lists the zip code for my home address as 92030, which is in Escondido, California,
`but my zip code is 90230, which is approximately 100 miles away in Culver City,
`California. Thus it appears the PTO sent the reminder to the wrong address and it
`was never forwarded to me. I did not know that a maintenance fee was due and
`not paid until earlier this week.
`
`I am the named inventor and owner of a number of other patents and, for
`7.
`each of those, including the parents to the subject reissue patent, I have
`consistently and diligently paid the required maintenance fees for the patents I was
`aware of. See, Maintenance fee records for U.S. Patent Nos. 5,891,079; 5,974,349
`and 7,099,752, attached hereto as Exhibit B, but I was unaware of RE39,618 until
`June of 2014.
`
`Had I been aware of reissue patent RE39,618 and that maintenance fees
`8.
`were due, I certainly would have paid those fees. Thus, the failure to pay those
`fees in a timely manner was completely unintentional.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of
`America that the foregoing is true and correct.
`
`Executed on July 15, 2014, at Culver City, California.

`
`Dear Sir/Madam:
`
`I respectfully request expedited consideration of the concurrently filed
`
`Petition To Accept Unintentionally Delayed Payment Of Maintenance Fee In An
`
`Expired Patent, with respect to reissue patent RE39,618, of which I am the sole
`
`inventor and owner. The petition is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
`88888931 RE39618
`97/23/2814 DALLEN
`The RE39,618 reissue patent, if revived, will ext:Wr~C&\£lts own terms on·
`2~9.89 OP
`
`December 17, 2016, only two years and five months from now. I understand from· ·
`
`discussions with this office that, if not expedited, the current backlog for petitions

`
`is three to four months. Three to four months represents a significant part of the
`
`remaining natural life of the subject patent.
`
`In addition, I am 79 years old and would therefore like to see this
`
`maintenance fee issue resolved as soon as possible.
`
`As explained in my declaration attached to the Petition to Accept Delayed
`
`Payment Of
