`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF THE PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`The Boeing Company (“Petitioner” or “Boeing”) respectfully requests
`
`joinder pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 315(c) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b) of the Petition
`
`for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. RE39,6l8 filed in the above-
`
`captioned proceeding, IPR2016-00023 (“second petition”), with pending inter
`
`partes review Case No. IPR20l5-01341 (“first petition”), which was instituted
`
`on December 21, 2015. See The Boeing Company v. Seymour Levine, Case No.
`
`IPR2015-01341, Paper 10.
`
`The second petition is substantively identical to the first petition with the
`
`exception of five additional paragraphs in the expert declaration and exhibits
`
`referenced therein (as well as further evidence that a certain reference is a
`
`printed publication). Boeing filed the second petition before any decision by
`
`the Board on the first petition, out of an abundance of caution to provide a more
`
`robust record regarding the “portable/positionable” limitation. In instituting the
`
`first petition, the Board found that Boeing’s evidence for that limitation was
`
`sufficient. But the more robust record is available and appropriate, and the
`
`Patent Owner has indicated that he will continue to press during these
`
`proceedings that the record be limited to less than the full record Boeing has
`
`created in a timely way for this patent and the claims and grounds at issue.
`
`Boeing thus asks the Board to resolve the dispute over the record in one of two
`
`alternative ways:
`
`the Board should grant the second petition and join it to the
`
`first petition only as alternative relief to a motion to add the above-referenced
`
`expert declaration and exhibits as supplemental information. The Board has
`
`29432378.5
`92045482.1
`
`-1-
`
`

`
`Case IPR2016-00023
`
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.00l4
`
`authorized Boeing to make the latter motion, which will be filed within six
`
`days.
`
`If Boeing’s motion to file the additional material as supplemental
`
`information is granted, Boeing will withdraw this motion for joinder, and will
`
`withdraw the second petition as well.
`
`If Boeing is not permitted to file the additional material as supplemental
`
`information in the first petition, Boeing submits that institution of the second
`
`petition and joinder will promote the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of
`
`the validity of the ’618 Patent. The second petition was timely filed within the
`
`one-year statutory period from the service of Levine’s lawsuit, involves the
`
`same patent as the first, challenges the same claims, and involves the same prior
`
`art grounds on which review was instituted in the first petition Furthermore,
`
`review was only recently instituted in the first petition and no post—institution
`
`discovery has taken place, and as such there will be little or no impact on the
`
`trial schedule for the existing review.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS
`
`A.
`
`Patent Owner Seymour Levine served Boeing with a complaint
`
`asserting infringement of the ’6l8 Patent on September 3, 2014. Levine
`
`voluntarily dismissed the action without prejudice. See Levine v. The Boeing
`
`Company, No. 14-cv-6859 (C.D. Cal.).
`
`B.
`
`Levine sued Boeing in October 2014 in the Northern District of
`
`Illinois. The complaint, which asserted infringement of the ’61 8 Patent, was
`
`served on Boeing on October 8, 2014. That case was transferred to the Western
`
`29432378.5
`920454321
`
`-2-
`
`

`
`Case IPR2016-00023
`Attorney Docket No. 03 007.00 1 4
`
`District of Washington, where it is currently stayed. See Levine v. The Boeing
`
`Company, No. 14-cv-1991 (W.D. Wash.).
`
`C.
`
`Boeing filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No.
`
`RE39,6l8 on June 4, 2015. That proceeding was assigned Case No. IPR2015-
`
`01341. Boeing’s petition requested inter partes review and cancellation of
`
`claims 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 (“the challenged claims”) of the ’618 Patent.
`
`Boeing presented the following grounds and prior art in the Petition:
`
`1.
`
`Ground 1: Claims 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 as obvious over
`
`Ward, ARINC 624-1, and Monroe. (35 U.S.C. § 103)
`
`2.
`
`Ground 2: Claims 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 as obvious over
`
`Chetail, Dyson, and Monroe. (35 U.S.C. § 103)
`
`3.
`
`Ground 3: Claims 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 as obvious over
`
`Dowling, ARINC 624-1, and Monroe. (35 U.S.C. § 103)
`
`4.
`
`Ground 4: Claims 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 as obvious over
`
`Ward, ARINC 624-1, FAA Increased FDR Parameters, and
`
`ARINC 702-6. (35 U.S.C. § 103)
`
`5.
`
`Ground 5: Claims 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, and 16 as obvious over
`
`Ward, ARINC 624-1, FAA Increased FDR Parameters, and
`
`Farmakis. (35 U.S.C. § 103).
`
`See IPR2015—01341, Paper 2 at 25.
`
`D.
`
`In support of its petition in IPR2015-01341, Boeing provided the
`
`declaration of Dr. Albert Helfrick (“Helfrick Decl.”). See id., Ex. 1002.

`
`E.
`
`The Patent Owner, Seymour Levine, submitted a Preliminary
`
`Response on September 24, 2015. See id., Paper 7.
`
`F.
`
`Boeing filed a second Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. RE39,6l 8 on October 7, 2015, within one year of being served with
`
`a complaint for patent infringement in the concurrent district court litigation.
`
`See IPR2016-00023, Paper 1. Boeing’s second petition seeks cancellation of
`
`the same claims of the ’61 8 Patent on the same grounds. As Boeing explained
`
`therein, the second petition is substantively identical to Boeing’s petition in
`
`IPR2015-01341, except for the addition of (a) paragraphs 107-111 of Exhibit
`
`1002 (Helfrick Decl.), the exhibits referenced therein, and the citations thereto,
`
`and (b) further evidence that Exhibit 1013 is a printed publication. See id. at 1.
`
`G.
`
`In a decision dated December 21, 2015, the Board instituted inter
`
`partes review of all challenged claims in the first petition on all requested
`
`grounds, 1'. e., Claims 4, 5, 14, and 16 as obvious in view of Ward and ARINC
`
`624-1; Claims 8, 9, and 10 as obvious in View of Ward, ARINC 624-1, and
`
`Monroe; Claims 4, 5, 14, and 16 as obvious in View of Dyson and Chetail;
`
`Claims 8, 9, and 10 as obvious in view of Dyson, Chetail, and Monroe; Claims
`
`4, 5, 14, and 16 as obvious in view of Dowling and ARINC 624-1; Claims 8, 9,
`
`and 10 as obvious in View of Dowling, ARINC 624-1, and Monroe; Claims 8,
`
`9, and 10 in view of Ward, ARINC 624-1, ARINC 702-6, and FAA, Increased
`
`FDR Parameters; and Claims 8, 9, and 10 as obvious in view of Ward, ARINC
`
`624-1, FAA, Increased FDR Parameters, and Farrnakis. See id., Paper 7.

`
`Case IPR2016-00023
`
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.0014
`
`H.
`
`On January 15, 2016, at Boeing’s request, the Board held an Initial
`
`Conference Call with the parties in IPR2015-01341. Boeing requested
`
`authorization on that call to file a motion for supplemental information in order
`
`to have the additional portions of Dr. Helfrick’s declaration that were submitted
`
`in the second IPR petition admitted as supplemental information in IPR2015-
`
`01341. Patent Owner opposed Boeing’s request. On January 20, 2016, the
`
`Board authorized Boeing to file a motion to submit supplemental information.
`
`See id., Paper 20. As Boeing explained on that call, the primary relief sought
`
`by Boeing is to allow the filing of Dr. Helfrick’s additional testimony as
`
`supplemental information, but failing that, Boeing seeks the alternative relief
`
`that the Board join Boeing’s petition in IPR2016-00023 to the instituted
`
`IPR2015-01341. Boeing accordingly files this motion for joinder.
`
`I.
`
`On January 19, 2016, Levine submitted a Preliminary Response in
`
`IPR 2016-00023. Levine admitted that his arguments on the merits “have
`
`already been considered by the Board in the ‘ 1341 case.” IPR2016-00023,
`
`Paper 6, at 1. Levine’s Preliminary Response focused instead on Boeing’s
`
`proposed motion to submit supplemental information in the first petition, or in
`
`the alternative, to join the second petition to the first.
`
`III.
`
`STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Boeing recognizes that the Board has discretion with regard to both the
`
`institution of the second petition and with regard to joinder.
`
`Boeing
`
`respectfully submits that, if the Board does not grant its motion to submit
`
`supplemental information, the result that will most advance a just resolution of
`
`294323785
`92045432. 1
`
`-5-
`
`

`
`Case IPR20l6-00023
`
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.0014
`
`this proceeding will be to institute IPR2016-00023 and join it to IPR2015-
`
`01341.
`
`The statutory provision governing joinder of inter partes review
`
`proceedings is 35 U.S.C. § 3l5(c), which reads as follows:
`
`If the Director institutes an inter partes review, the Director, in his
`or her discretion, may join as a party to that inter partes review any
`person who properly files a petition under section 311 that the
`Director, after receiving a preliminary response under section 313
`or the expiration of the time for filing such a response, determines
`warrants the institution of an inter partes review under section 314.
`
`35 U.S.C. § 3l5(c). This statute “permits the joinder of any person who
`
`properly files a petition under § 311, including a petitioner who is already a
`
`party to the earlier instituted inter partes review.” See Zhongshan Broad Ocean
`
`Motor Co., Ltd., Broad Ocean Motor LLC, and Broad Ocean Technologies,
`
`LLC v. Nidec Motor Corporation, IPR2015—00762, Paper 16 (PTAB October 5,
`
`2015). Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b), a petitioner may request joinder “no later
`
`than one month after the institution date of any inter partes review for which
`
`joinder is requested.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b).
`
`In light of this authority, the Board “will determine whether to grant
`
`joinder on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the particular facts of each
`
`case, substantive and procedural issues, and other considerations.” Dell Inc. v.
`
`Network-I Security Solutions, Inc., IPR2013-00385, Paper 17 at 3 (PTAB July
`
`29, 2013) (citations omitted).
`
`“When exercising its discretion, the Board is
`
`mindful that patent trial regulations, including the rules for joinder, must be
`
`construed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of every
`
`proceeding.” Id. (citing 35 U.S.C. § 316(b); 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b)). The Board
`
`294323785
`92o4s4s2.1
`
`-6-
`
`

`
`Case IPR2016-00023
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.00l4
`
`should also “take into account the policy preference for joining a party that does
`
`not present new issues that might complicate or delay an existing proceeding.”
`
`See id. at 10 (citations omitted).
`
`As explained in a Representative Order regarding motions for joinder, the
`
`Board requires that a movant:
`
`(1) “explain the reasons why joinder is
`
`appropriate,” (2) “identify any new ground of unpatentability being raised in
`
`[the] concurrently-filed corresponding petition for inter partes review,” (3)
`
`“explain how the impact on the schedule and costs of the current proceedings
`
`will be minimized,” and (4) “specifically address how briefing and/or discovery
`
`may be simplified to minimize schedule impact.” Kyocera Corp. v. Softview
`
`LLC, IPR20l3-0004, Paper 15 at 4 (PTAB April 24, 2013). These factors are
`
`addressed below and all point to granting the instant motion for joinder.
`
`A.
`
`INSTITUTION AND JOINDER ARE APPROPRIATE IF
`SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION IS DISALLOWED
`
`As explained above, Boeing is separately seeking leave to add limited
`
`additional
`
`testimony and related exhibits from its expert, Dr. Helfrick, as
`
`supplemental information in the first petition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.123(a).
`
`In the alternative, with this motion, Boeing seeks institution of the second
`
`petition and joinder to the instituted IPR201 5-01 341.
`
`If the Board denies Boeing’s motion to file supplemental information,
`
`Boeing respectfully submits that institution of the second petition and joinder
`
`would be the appropriate result. The Board has authority to join a properly-
`
`filed IPR petition to an instituted IPR proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. § 315(c).
`
`29432378.5
`92045432.:
`
`-7-
`
`

`
`Case IPR20l6-00023
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.00l4
`
`Here, Boeing’s second petition and the instant motion for joinder are timely,
`
`and would not disrupt the progress of the first petition.
`
`Joining the two
`
`proceedings will allow the parties and the Board to address all of the issues
`
`raised in the Petitions in a streamlined and consolidated manner.
`
`Importantly,
`
`the current motion does not present the type of circumstances where the Board
`
`has denied institution and joinder, such as where a party attempts to institute a
`
`second IPR proceeding on the eve of an already-scheduled trial, or uses a
`
`second petition as a vehicle to seek reconsideration of a prior adverse Board
`
`determination.
`
`Levine, in his Preliminary Response to the second petition, argues that
`
`the second petition is “completely redundant” and should not be instituted.
`
`IPR20l6-00023, Paper 6, at 1. Levine then argues that the additional material
`
`in the second petition should not be allowed as supplemental
`
`information
`
`because it “changes the evidence originally relied on” by Boeing and unfairly
`
`“bolsters” Boeing’s case.
`
`Id. at 7.
`
`In other words, Levine argues that the
`
`additional Helfrick testimony is too similar to be added through the procedure
`
`of institution and joinder of a second petition, but too different to be added
`
`through the procedure of supplementation. In so doing, Levine is simply trying
`
`to thread a procedural needle to avoid the just resolution of the issues based on
`
`the full record that was timely submitted by Boeing with no detriment to the
`
`speedy and efficient resolution of this case. Boeing respectfully submits that
`
`294323785
`92045482.1
`
`-8-
`
`

`
`Case IPR20l6-00023
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.00l4
`
`Levine’s interpretation of the rules is not consistent with 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b) in
`
`these circumstances.
`
`1.
`
`Boeing’s Request Is Timely
`
`Boeing’s second petition in IPR20l6—00023 and the instant motion for
`
`joinder are timely, and Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response to the second
`
`petition does not argue otherwise. Boeing’s second petition was filed before the
`
`one-year bar date of October 8, 2015.
`
`Furthermore, Boeing’s motion for
`
`joinder is timely under 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b), which provides that a motion for
`
`joinder may be filed “no later than one month after the institution date of any
`
`inter partes review for which joinder is requested.” Here, Boeing is filing the
`
`instant motion for joinder on January 21, 2016, no later than one month after
`
`the Board’s December 21, 2015 decision to institute the first petition. Notably,
`
`Boeing is not relying on the rule that allows additional petitions to be filed more
`
`than one year after the statutory deadline if accompanied by a request for
`
`joinder. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b). All of the material upon which Boeing
`
`seeks to rely, in both the first and second petitions, was timely submitted prior
`
`to the regular one-year deadline. The present situation thus is unlike those in
`
`which a Petitioner might be deemed to have sought to expand the time for filing
`
`a petition through joinder to a prior petition.
`
`2.
`
`Joinder Would Be Efficient In This Case
`
`As Boeing noted in its second petition and in the recent conference call
`
`with the Board, the second petition provides a limited amount of additional
`
`testimony from Dr. Albert Helfrick, whose expert testimony Boeing provided in
`
`29432378.5
`920454321
`
`-9-
`
`

`
`Case IPR20l6-00023
`
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.0014
`
`support of its first petition. Dr. Helfrick’s declaration in support of Boeing’s
`
`second petition included paragraphs 107-1 11 of Exhibit 1002 (Helfrick Decl.),
`
`exhibits referenced therein, and citations thereto, which were not previously
`
`provided. This information was provided to further support Boeing’s showing,
`
`which the Board accepted in the first petition, with regard to a single limitation
`
`found in the challenged claims, namely, that a transmitter be “portable” or
`
`“positionable.”
`
`The expert
`
`testimony simply highlights that
`
`the Board’s
`
`preliminary determination that a discrete transmitter is positionable is fully
`
`consistent with published descriptions of transmitters. The Board construes the
`
`rules that govern these proceedings so as “to secure the just, speedy, and
`
`inexpensive resolution of every proceeding.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b).
`
`Allowing this evidence into the record, either through supplementation of
`
`the first petition, or failing that, institution of the second petition, will serve to
`
`ensure a just resolution of the issues.
`
`Moreover, allowing this evidence will not jeopardize the speed or cost of
`
`the proceeding. Because the only difference between the two petitions involves
`
`a limited amount of additional expert testimony and supporting evidence, and
`
`the instituted proceeding is still in its early stages, joinder will not present new
`
`issues that will complicate or delay the proceeding.
`
`In his Preliminary
`
`Response to the second petition, Levine pointed to cases where the Board has
`
`denied institution of a second petition that was expressly made in response to
`
`deficiencies identified by the Board in a first petition (Unilever), or both
`
`29432378.5
`920454321
`
`-10-
`
`

`
`Case IPR20l6-00023
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.0014
`
`constituted an improper and untimely attempt to seek reconsideration of denial
`
`of an earlier petition, and was presented to the Board shortly before trial on the
`
`first petition (Butamax).
`
`IPR20l6-00023, Paper 6, at 4-5. The present motion,
`
`however, is made in a completely different context. Boeing filed the second
`
`petition before any decision by the Board on the first petition, and moreover,
`
`when the institution decision did issue, the Board did not find a deficiency in
`
`Boeing’s evidence with respect to the “portable/positionable” limitation. Thus,
`
`granting joinder in this case does not open the door to inefficient or burdensome
`
`seriatim petitions intended to “fix” prior deficiencies identified by the Board.
`
`Instead, Boeing simply seeks to proceed to trial on the full evidence of
`
`unpatentability that it timely submitted prior to the one-year deadline, to ensure
`
`a just resolution of the proceeding.
`
`B.
`
`NO NEW GROUNDS OF UNPATENTABILITY ARE
`ASSERTED IN THE PETITION
`
`Boeing’s
`
`second petition does not assert
`
`any new grounds of
`
`unpatentability. As explained above, the second petition involves the same
`
`’618 Patent,
`
`the same challenged claims, the same prior art, and the same
`
`grounds of unpatentability as IPR20l 5-01341.
`
`C.
`
`JOINDER WILL HAVE NO IMPACT, OR MINIMAL
`IMPACT IF ANY, ON THE TRIAL SCHEDULE AND
`COSTS FOR THE EXISTING REVIEW.
`
`Joinder will have minimal or no impact on the trial schedule and costs for
`
`the existing review. Here, because no new grounds of unpatentability or new
`
`prior art have been presented, and the first petition was only recently granted,
`
`294323785
`920454324
`
`-1 1-
`
`

`
`Case IPR20l6-00023
`
`Attorney Docket No. 03007.0014
`
`little or no modification to the Board’s scheduling order will be necessary. Dr.
`
`Helfrick may be cross—examined about the five additional paragraphs in his
`
`second declaration in accordance with the Board’s existing schedule in the first
`
`petition. No additional experts would have to be deposed. Patent Owner would
`
`not be forced to address new grounds of unpatentability or new prior art. This
`
`factor accordingly favors a grant ofjoinder.
`
`D.
`
`PROCEDURES TO SIMPLIF Y BRIEFING AND
`
`DISCOVERY.
`
`Given the limited nature of the additional
`
`testimony and evidence
`
`presented in IPR2016—O0023, and the fact that the parties to both proceedings
`
`are the same, no modifications are needed to simplify briefing and discovery in
`
`a joined proceeding. To eliminate any possibility of prejudice to Levine,
`
`Boeing will agree to provide a short extension of time for Levine to file his
`
`Response, which Boeing will agree to deduct from its own time for filing its
`
`Reply, if any. The remainder of the existing schedule can be preserved, and
`
`there will be no need to extend the overall trial schedule.
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, should the Board deny Petitioner’s motion to
`
`file
`
`supplemental
`
`information in Case No.
`
`IPR20l5-01341, Petitioner
`
`respectfully requests that its Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No.
`
`RE39,618, Case No. IPR2016—O0023, be granted and that the Board grant this
`
`Motion
`
`for
`
`Joinder
`
`to
`
`join
`
`this
`
`proceeding with
`
`IPR20l5-01341.
