`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`Pursuant to the Scheduling Order (Paper 9), Patent Owner Seymour Levine
`
`(“Levine” or “Patent Owner”) hereby opposes The Boeing Company’s (“Boeing”
`
`or “Petitioner”) Motion to Exclude Evidence (Paper 39).
`
`I.
`
`Introduction
`
`Boeing’s Motion to Exclude is based on the false premise that Levine is
`
`relying on his own testimony to establish his date of conception and that the
`
`objected-to exhibits are necessary to corroborate that testimony. When all the
`
`pertinent evidence is considered, however, it is clear that Levine’s date of
`
`conception is established by the documents themselves, which require no
`
`independent corroboration. Price v. Symsek, 988 F.2d 1187, 1195 (Fed. Cir. 1993)
`
`(“corroboration is not necessary to establish what a physical exhibit before the
`
`board includes. Only the inventor’s testimony requires corroboration before it can
`
`be considered.”) (internal quotations omitted).
`
`This is also true for the dates recorded in the documents. In the case on
`
`which Boeing relies, Microsoft Corp. v. Surfcast, Inc., IPR2013-00292, Paper 93,
`
`the exhibit being addressed, the inventor’s notebook, Exhibit 2023, contained no
`
`dates, forcing the Patent Owner to rely only on inventor testimony. By contrast, in
`
`Brown v. Barbacid, 276 F.3d 1327, 1334-35 (Fed. Cir. 2002), the Federal Circuit
`
`found that “Brown’s physical evidence . . . do[es] not require corroboration to
`
`demonstrate . . . that FT assay experiments took place on September 20 and 25,
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3
`
`
`1
`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`1989.” (emphasis added). Levine’s documents, Exhibits 2002 and 2003, are signed
`
`and dated, and those dates are available for the Board to assess. Levine’s
`
`testimony does little more than authenticate those documents.
`
`Federal Rule of Evidence 901, the only basis on which Boeing seeks to
`
`exclude Exhibits 2002-2004, requires only that “the proponent must produce
`
`evidence sufficient to support a finding that the item is what the proponent claims
`
`it is,” where such evidence can include “[t]estimony of a [w]itness with
`
`[k]nowledge . . . that an item is what it is claimed to be.” Fed.R.Evid 901. Here,
`
`contrary to Boeing’s assertion at Note 1 of its motion, Levine timely served
`
`supplemental evidence as required by 37 C.F.R. §42.64(b)(2) in response to
`
`Boeing’s objection to this evidence (Paper 12). See Exhibit 2014, submitted
`
`herewith, which included a preliminary Declaration of Seymour Levine, provided
`
`here as Exhibit 2015. This evidence adequately authenticates the objected-to
`
`exhibits.
`
`II. Levine has Adequately Authenticated Exhibits 2002-2004
`
`A. Levine’s Date of Conception is Established Through Physical
`Exhibits, Not Testimony
`
`Neither Boeing’s Motion to Exclude nor any of the cases it cites address the
`
`situation where, as here, the documents themselves provide all the evidence
`
`necessary to establish the date of conception. The Federal Circuit “does not
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`require corroboration where a party seeks to prove conception through the use of
`
`physical exhibits. The trier of fact can conclude for itself what documents show . .
`
`. .” Mahurkar v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 79 F.3d 1572, 1577-78 (Fed. Cir. 1996).
`
`Rather, Boeing addresses the different situation that arises when an inventor
`
`seeks to establish a date of conception and/or a date of reduction to practice
`
`through oral/written testimony and then seeks to corroborate that testimony
`
`through documents. Boeing argues that in such a situation, authentication of those
`
`documents relies, in part, on the “corroborative value” of those documents, i.e., to
`
`what degree those documents can be used to corroborate the inventor’s testimony.
`
`Mot. at 2-3. Here, the documents are not used to corroborate any testimony.
`
`Unlike a situation where an inventor is proffering oral
`
`testimony attempting to remember specifically what was
`
`conceived and when it was conceived, a situation where,
`
`over time, honest witnesses can convince themselves that
`
`they conceived the invention of a valuable patent,
`
`corroboration is not necessary to establish what a
`
`physical exhibit before the board includes. Only the
`
`inventor’s testimony requires corroboration before it can
`
`be considered.
`
`Price, 988 F.2d at 1195 (internal citations omitted).
`
`In each of the cases relied on by Boeing, the ultimate evidence at issues was
`
`inventor testimony and the challenged documents were cited to corroborate that
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`testimony. In Neste Oil Oyj v. Reg Synthetic Fuels, LLC, IPR2013-00578, Paper
`
`52, for example, the Patent Owner relied on the declaration of the inventor,
`
`Mr. Abhari, to establish the date of conception and reduction to practice, and also
`
`relied on Mr. Abhari to authenticate the documents that would be used to
`
`corroborate that testimony.
`
`Here, by contrast, Mr. Levine’s testimony provides none of the facts upon
`
`which he relies to establish conception, including the date of conception. Instead,
`
`except for his initial conclusory statement about conception, Mr. Levine focuses
`
`his entire testimony on establishing the provenance of the documents so that he can
`
`use those documents to establish conception. In other words, Levine offers no
`
`testimony to be corroborated.1 Levine’s Response follows suit by relying only on
`
`the documents to establish the date of conception, citing to Levine’s Declaration
`
`(Exhibit 2009) only once, but not to establish what he did or when he did it, and
`
`citing to Exhibits 2002 and 2003 many times. PO’s Resp. (Paper 28) at 14-17.2
`
`
`1 Levine’s brief characterization in his Response that “Levine’s testimony
`
`is corroborated by” the documents does not control because the facts show that that
`
`statement is, at best, imprecise. PO’s Response (Paper 28) at 14.
`
`2 Exhibit 2004 does not fit into this category of documents because it is not
`
`used to establish conception, rather, it is simply used as evidence to support due
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`For example, Levine’s Response includes a table comparing each element of
`
`challenged claims 4, 8, 9 and 10 with the disclosure of Exhibit 2003, id. at 16-17,
`
`establishing where each element of each claim was disclosed in the written
`
`document Boeing admits predates the earliest date of Monroe. See, Petitioner’s
`
`Reply (Paper 33) at 10. Levine’s table does not rely on any testimony from Levine
`
`to establish these facts.3
`
`B.
`
`Exhibits 2002-2004 Do Not Need to Be Independently
`Corroborated
`
`Here, Levine’s conception is established by the content of physical exhibits
`
`and “corroboration is not necessary to establish what a physical exhibit before the
`
`board includes. Only the inventor’s testimony requires corroboration before it can
`
`be considered.” Price, 988 F.2d at 1195 (internal quotations omitted); Mahurkar,
`
`79 F.3d at 1577-78; Medichem, S.A. v. Rolabo, S.L., 437 F.3d 1157, 1170 (Fed.
`
`
`diligence. Paper 28 at 19. But even if it did, it is properly authenticated for the
`
`same reasons as Exhibits 2002 and 2003.
`
`3 Compare, for example, Levine’s Declaration (Exhibit 2009) and Levine’s
`
`Response (Paper 28) to the inventor declaration and Patent Owner Response in
`
`Neste. There, the Patent Owner relied heavily on Mr. Abhari’s declaration (Neste
`
`Exhibit 2001), to establish both his date of conception and the facts supporting
`
`conception on that date. See Neste, Patent Owner’s Response, Paper 16 at 41-46.
`

`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`Cir. 2006) (“Once properly admitted into evidence, documentary and physical
`
`evidence is assigned probative value and collectively weighed to determine
`
`whether reduction to practice has been achieved. This is what is meant by the
`
`maxim that documentary and physical evidence do not require ‘corroboration.’”).
`
`This is true even with respect to the date of the disclosed document. In
`
`Brown v. Barbacid, for example, the Federal Circuit found that “Brown’s physical
`
`evidence, such as Dr. Reiss’ notebooks and autoradiographs, do not require
`
`corroboration to demonstrate the content of the physical evidence itself, namely
`
`that FT assay experiments took place on September 20 and 25, 1989.” 276 F.3d at
`
`1334-35 (emphasis added). The pages of Levine’s documents, Exhibits 2002 and
`
`2003, are individually signed and dated, and those dates are available for the Board
`
`to assess.4
`
`
`4 Boeing’s statement at Note 2 of its motion that the dates of a physical
`
`exhibit are, for some reason, excluded from the rule that a physical exhibit does not
`
`require corroboration is unsupported by any controlling authority. In the case on
`
`which Boeing relies, Microsoft Corp. v. Surfcast, Inc., IPR2013-00292, Paper 93,
`
`the exhibit being addressed, the inventor’s notebook, Exhibit 2023, contained no
`
`dates, forcing the Patent Owner to rely only on inventor testimony to establish the
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3

`

`
`C. Levine’s Testimony is Adequate to Authenticate the Physical
`Exhibits
`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`Levine has adequately authenticated each of the challenged exhibits.
`
`Rule 901 . . . is satisfied by evidence sufficient to support
`
`a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent
`
`claims. Rule 901 does not erect a particularly high
`
`hurdle, and that hurdle may be cleared by circumstantial
`
`evidence. . . . Rule 901’s requirements are satisfied if
`
`sufficient proof has been introduced so that a reasonable
`
`[fact finder] could find in favor of authenticity or
`
`identification. . . . the other party then remains free to
`
`challenge the reliability of the evidence, to minimize its
`
`importance, or to argue alternative interpretations of its
`
`meaning, but these and similar other challenges go to the
`
`weight of the evidence — not to its admissibility.
`
`U.S. v. Tin Yat Chin, 371 F.3d 31, 37-38 (2d. Cir. 2004) (internal citation and
`
`quotations omitted).
`
`Mr. Levine’s notebook pages (Exhibit 2002), each of which was signed and
`
`dated by Mr. Levine, are adequately authenticated by Mr. Levine’s testimony that
`
`these were his “handwritten notes . . . [and that his] signature appears on the first
`
`page” along with “the first date on which the notes were recorded . . . . and that
`
`
`date of the notebook. See, Id. at Ex. 2023 and Ex. 2005 at 5. That is not the case
`
`here.

`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`each page of the “notes is individually initialed by [him] and dated on the date the
`
`notes on that page were recorded.” Exhibit 2009 at ¶ 2. See also, Exhibit 2015 at
`
`¶ 1.
`
`The same is true for Exhibits 2003 and 2004, Mr. Levine’s October 9 and
`
`October 23, 1996 typed disclosures, which were also dated and signed by
`
`Mr. Levine and about which Mr. Levine testified that these are versions of his
`
`“draft invention disclosures” that he created from his “original notes” and that they
`
`were recorded by him “at or near the time indicated.” Exhibit 2009, ¶¶ 4, 6; Exhibit
`
`2015, ¶¶ 2, 3.
`
`D. The Rule of Reason Supports Authentication and Corroboration
`
`Even if independent corroboration was required, such a corroboration
`
`requirement was established only “to prevent fraud, by providing independent
`
`confirmation of the inventor’s testimony.” Medichem, 437 F.3d at 1170 (internal
`
`quotations omitted). Kridl v. McCormick, 105 F.3d 1446, 1450 (Fed. Cir. 1997)
`
`(“The tribunal must also bear in mind the purpose of corroboration, which is to
`
`prevent fraud, by providing independent confirmation of the inventor’s
`
`testimony.”) That is why “[a] ‘rule of reason’ analysis is applied to determine
`
`whether the inventor’s prior conception testimony has been corroborated.” In such
`
`an analysis “[a]n evaluation of all pertinent evidence must be made so that a sound
`
`determination of the credibility of the inventor’s story may be reached.” Price,
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3
`
`

`
`

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`988 F.2d at 1195 (emphasis original); Kridl, 105 F.3d at 1450. Thus, to the extent
`
`any corroboration is needed, “sufficient circumstantial evidence of an independent
`
`nature can satisfy the corroboration rule” and does here. Knorr v. Pearson, 671
`
`F.2d 1368, 1373 (CCPA 1982); Sandt Technology v. Resco Metal and Plast, 264
`
`F.3d 1344, 1351 (Fed. Cir. 2001) (“Documentary or physical evidence that is
`
`made contemporaneously with the inventive process provides the most reliable
`
`proof that the inventor’s testimony has been corroborated.”)
`
`The facts here fully support the conception story set forth in Levine’s
`
`Response, which, as discussed above, relies on Levine’s documents and not his
`
`testimony. They include:
`
`• The handwritten, signed and dated notebook pages of Seymour Levine
`
`establishing his original conception of the ideas disclosed and claimed
`
`in the ’618 patent. Exhibit 2002; Exhibit 2009 at ¶ 2.
`
`• The typed, signed and dated disclosure prepared by Mr. Levine based
`
`on his earlier handwritten notes, further establishing that Levine had,
`
`prior to the earliest date of Monroe, “formed in his . . . mind a definite
`
`and permanent idea of the complete and operative invention.
`
`Mahurkar, 79 F.3d at 1577 (internal quotations omitted); Exhibit
`
`2003; Exhibit 1043 (Levine Deposition Transcript) at 35:15-36:15;
`
`Exhibit 2009 at ¶ 4. Levine sent an earlier version of this document to

`
`
`his patent attorney, Norton Townsley. Exhibit 1043 at 38:2-39:3;
`
`40:8-11; Exhibit 2009 at ¶ 4.
`
`• The independent testimony of Mr. Townsley attesting to his receipt in
`
`September 1996 of an invention disclosure similar “in content” to
`
`exhibit 2003, his understanding of that disclosure, and his reliance on
`
`that understanding to order a prior art search, all before the earliest
`
`date of Monroe. Exhibit 2010 at ¶ 2; Exhibit 2005.
`
`• As demonstrated below, the disclosure contained in Exhibit 2003 as it
`
`relates to the challenged claims is substantially similar to that
`
`contained in Levine’s original notes, Ex. 2002; supporting the
`
`conclusion that the intervening version of this disclosure provided to
`
`Mr. Townsley also contained this basic disclosure:

`advisory for man’n” for
`providing maintenance
`advisories based on data
`received from the aircraft.
`(4236).
`Discloses that among the
`data collected for
`transmission from the
`aircraft to the ground is an
`“aircraft unique identifier,”
`(4237), and includes data
`“recorded on the flight
`recorder,” which, in the
`disclosed system “can be
`designed to be more
`compact, more reliable and
`more cost effective than the
`present day crash recorders.”
`(4232, 4233).
`Discloses the “Sensor
`Multiplexer Receiver &
`Transmitter” (SMRT) for
`receiving aircraft sensor
`data, including position data,
`and transmitting that data to
`the ground via “world wide
`continuous transmission.”
`(4230, 4237).

`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`Exhibit 2002
`
`Exhibit 2003
`
`Discloses “aircraft position”
`as one of the inputs into the
`“remote flight recorder
`transmitter,” which can
`include data from “the GPS-
`Global Positioning satellite
`system.” (4237, 4235).
`
`Discloses that “[i]n addition
`to the standard flight sensor
`data presently used in
`existing flight recorders,
`position and velocity signals
`from the GPS receiver . . .
`are also sent to SMART for
`telemetry to the CGBS.” (p.
`7; see also , p. 2)
`
`Levine ’618 Patent
`aircraft performance
`data to said transmitter.
`
`8. The aircraft
`maintenance system
`of claim 4 wherein said
`digital aircraft
`performance data
`includes aircraft
`position data directed
`to said flight data
`recorder.
`9. The aircraft
`maintenance system
`of claim 8 wherein
`information provided
`by a GPS receiver is
`used in the calculation
`of said aircraft position
`data.
`10. The aircraft
`maintenance system
`of claim 9 wherein
`information provided
`by an inertial
`navigation system is
`used in the calculation
`of said aircraft position
`data.
`
`
`
`Together, these documents and the cited testimony tell a consistent story that
`
`supports reliance on at least Exhibits 2002 and 2003 to establish a conception date
`
`prior to the earliest priority date of Monroe, October 11, 1996. Exhibit 2004 has
`
`06012-00001/8289702.3
`
`
`13
`
`

`
`been sufficiently authenticated regardless of this evidence because it is not relied
`
`Case IPR2015-01341
`U.S. Patent No. RE39,618
`
`
`on to establish conception.
`
`III. Conclusion
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the Board should deny Boeing’s motion with
`
`respect to Exhibits 2002-2004. Levine does not seek to admit Exhibit 2013.
