`
`
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT LLC,
`
`Petitioner
`
`v.
`
`TECHNO VIEW IP, INC.,
`
`Patent Owner
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-01045
`
`U.S. Patent 8,206,218
`
`
`MANDATORY NOTICES BY PATENT OWNER
`
`UNDER 37 CFR § 42.8
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.8(a)(2), exclusive licensee TECHNO VIEW IP,
`
`INC. hereby provides the following mandatory notices.
`
`I.
`
`Real Party-in-Interest
`
`The real party-in-interest for the Patent Owner is TECHNO VIEW IP,
`
`INC. In 2016, TD VISION CORPORATION S.A. DE C.V., the assignee of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,206,218 (“the ‘218 patent”) provided TECHNO VIEW IP,
`
`INC. with an exclusive license, including all substantial rights in and to the
`
`‘218 patent. Further, TD VISION CORPORATION S.A. DE C.V. has not
`
`contended it is a required party in litigation surrounding the ‘218 patent.1
`
`Therefore, the effective Patent Owner, and the real party-in-interest for the
`
`purposes of this inter partes review, is TECHNO VIEW IP, INC.
`
`
`
`
`
`1 See Motorola Mobility LLC v. Michael Arnouse, IPR2013-00010, Paper No.
`30 (finding assignee was the real party in interest because “[Assignee] has
`provided an exclusive license of ‘all substantial rights’ in the ’484 patent to ...
`[Effective Patent Owner];” that “by virtue of its averments of standing in the
`District Court, [Effective Patent Owner] has represented that it is the ‘effective
`patentee’ under Sicom;” and that ‘[Assignee] does not contend that he is a
`‘required party’ under Rule 19(a) in the district court litigation.”). See also
`Sicom Sys. Ltd. v. Agilent Techs., Inc., 427 F.3d 971, 976 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (“an
`exclusive license may be treated like an assignment for purposes of creating
`standing if it conveys to the licensee all substantial rights.”).
`
`
`
`
`II. Related Matters
`
`The following matters would affect, or be affected by, a decision in the present
`
`proceeding based on the ‘218 Patent:
`
`a) An exclusive licensee has asserted the ‘218 patent in Techno View IP, Inc. v.
`
`Sony Interactive Entertainment America LLC, No. 8:17-cv-01268 (N.D. Cal.
`
`July 23, 2017) and Techno View IP, Inc. v. Oculus VR, LLC, and Facebook,
`
`Inc., No. 1:17-cv-00386 (D. Del. April 6, 2017); and
`
`b) the related U.S. Patent No. 7,666,096, of which the ‘218 Patent is a
`
`continuation, has been challenged in inter partes review No. IPR2018-01044.
