I.
`
`I, Lauren Gluckman, state and declare as follows:
`Introduction
`1.
`I have prepared this Declaration in connection with a petition for
`
`inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,973,613; 11,154,384; 11,648,090; and
`
`11,648,091 which I understand will be filed concurrently with this Declaration.
`
`2.
`
`I am currently a Senior Research Analyst at Finnegan, Henderson,
`
`Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, 901 New York Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
`
`20001-4413.
`
`3.
`
`I am over eighteen years of age and am competent to make this
`
`Declaration. I make this Declaration based on my own personal knowledge and
`
`based on my knowledge of library science practices.
`
`4.
`
`I earned a Master of Science in Library Science (“MLS”) from
`
`Rutgers University in 1993, and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from
`
`Rutgers University in 1991. I have worked as a librarian for over thirty years. I
`
`have been employed at Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP
`
`since August 2021. My previous position, from 2006-2021, was as the Head of
`
`Collection Management and Reference Librarian at the Montague Law Library at
`
`Penn State Law of the Pennsylvania State University. From 2002-2006, I was
`
`employed as a Reference Librarian at Sutherland Asbill & Brennan. I was
`
`employed as a Senior Reference Librarian at the United States Senate Library from
`
`1
`
`ClearCorrect Exhibit 1012, Page 1 of 13
`
`

`

`1996-2002 and from 1993-1995 I was an Assistant Librarian at Debevoise &
`
`Plimpton.
`
`5. I am a member of the American Association of Law Libraries.
`
`II.
`
`Standard Library Practice for Receiving, Cataloging, and Making
`Materials, including Serial and Monograph Publications, Publicly
`Available
`6.
`I have knowledge of and experience with standard library practices
`
`regarding the receipt, cataloging, shelving, and making materials, including serial
`
`and monograph publications, available to the public. I have knowledge of and
`
`experience with the Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC) system, an industry-
`
`wide standard that libraries use to catalog materials. I also have knowledge of and
`
`experience with OCLC (previously called Online Computer Library Center, Inc.)
`
`and OCLC Control Numbers, which are unique accession numbers assigned by the
`
`OCLC system when a bibliographic record is catalogued and made available to the
`
`public through WorldCat. OCLC control numbers are often used by the public to
`
`search for specific records within WorldCat, which is an online database of
`
`586,648,074 bibliographic records from libraries throughout the world as of
`
`December 2024 (Source: https://www.oclc.org/en/worldcat/inside-worldcat.html).
`
`7.
`
`Based on standard library practice, when a library receives a print
`
`item, the cataloguer or cataloguer’s assistant will examine the item and date-stamp
`
`and/or affix a label to the item with the library name and/or barcode with the date it
`
`
`
`2
`
`ClearCorrect Exhibit 1012, Page 2 of 13
`
`

`

`was received. Next, the library will catalog the item within a few days of receiving
`
`it. As a general practice, cataloguing is centralized and performed by a cataloguing
`
`department within a library or university setting.
`
`8.
`
`Normally, after an item is cataloged, the public may access the item
`
`by searching a library online catalog, browsing the physical library shelves,
`
`searching a physical card catalog, or by seeking assistance from a Librarian to
`
`identify the item. Standard library practice is to make an item available to the
`
`public within several days of cataloging. If an item requires original cataloguing,
`
`the item will be made available to the public up to and including one week from
`
`the date of receipt.
`
`III. Serial Publications
`A serial publication, often known as a “journal” or “periodical,” is a
`9.
`
`resource that is issued in successive parts and has no predetermined conclusion.
`
`These successive parts are commonly referred to as “issues,” and each issue is
`
`usually chronologically numbered and dated. The presence of enumeration, years
`
`of coverage, and/or other chronological information also indicates a serial
`
`publication.
`
`10. There are significant differences between cataloging finite resources
`
`(books/monographs) and continuing resources (serials). For serials, the catalog
`
`record provides information about the serial as a whole, including the first or
`
`
`
`3
`
`ClearCorrect Exhibit 1012, Page 3 of 13
`
`

`

`earliest available issue. It also provides information as to holdings – the volumes
`
`and issues, with dates, received by the library and made available to the public. In
`
`serials cataloging, there are identifying characteristics unique to serials that are
`
`slightly different from monographs (books). The issue date for a print serial
`
`publication, for example, generally appears on the cover (front or back), the
`
`masthead page, the title page (if any), the table of contents page(s), or on the pages
`
`of the individual articles contained in the issue. The initial periodicals cataloging
`
`record will sometimes not reflect all subsequent changes in publication details
`
`(including minor variations in title, etc.). More information regarding the unique
`
`aspects of cataloguing serials can be found at this link:
`
`https://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/conser/scctppt/Basic-2014/Basic-Trainee-
`
`Mannual.pdf.
`
`IV. Ownership and Date-Stamp
`11. Libraries have different policies on whether to date-stamp received
`
`publications. It is becoming increasingly common for libraries to no longer date-
`
`stamp the publications they receive. In the past, it was common practice to affix an
`
`ownership and date stamp somewhere within the publication, usually on the cover
`
`page, verso of the cover page, or a designated page within the publication. The
`
`timing of when an ownership/date stamp is entered on the monograph or periodical
`
`can vary from one library to another. It could occur when the item is received in
`
`
`
`4
`
`ClearCorrect Exhibit 1012, Page 4 of 13
`
`

`

`acquisitions after shipment to the library, or at the time of cataloging. Therefore, it
`
`is possible for there to be instances when the date of receipt precedes the
`
`cataloging date or vice versa.
`
`V. MARC Records
`12. The MARC system was developed during the 1960s to standardize
`
`bibliographic catalog records so they could be read by computers and shared
`
`among libraries. By the mid-1970s, MARC had become the international standard
`
`for cataloging bibliographic materials and is still used today. Many libraries
`
`provide public access to their MARC records via their electronic cataloging
`
`systems at the library. In a MARC record, each field provides specific information
`
`about the cataloged item, including how materials are held and when they were
`
`made available to the public.
`
`13. The MARC record system uses specific three-digit numeric codes
`
`(“field tags”) (from 001-999) to identify each field in a catalog record. For
`
`example, field tag 008 provides the six-digit date an item was catalogued (Date
`
`entered on file). The first six characters of field tag 008 are always in the
`
`“YYMMDD” format. Descriptions and definitions of all the character positions of
`
`field tag 008 are outlined here: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/
`
`bd008a.html.
`
`
`
`5
`
`ClearCorrect Exhibit 1012, Page 5 of 13
`
`

`

`14. As is relevant to this Declaration, MARC field tag 022 provides the
`
`International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), a unique identification number
`
`assigned to a serial publication. MARC field tag 245 sets forth the Title and
`
`statement of responsibility for the work. MARC field tag 260 sets forth
`
`information relating to the place of publication, printing, distribution, and
`
`copyright date. MARC field tag 949 sets forth notes regarding the local holding
`
`information.
`
`VI. The Internet Archive
`15. The Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit and founded in 1996, is a
`
`publicly available and publicly accessible digital library of Internet sites and other
`
`cultural artifacts that can be searched and accessed in digital form. Its mission is to
`
`provide Universal Access to All Knowledge including books, films, magazines,
`
`websites, videos, software programs, audio recordings, and television. Like a
`
`physical library, it provides free access to everyone. The Internet Archive is
`
`available here: https://archive.org/.
`
`16. The Internet Archive created a resource known as the “Wayback
`
`Machine” (https://web.archive.org/). The Wayback Machine is named in reference
`
`to the famous Mr. Peabody’s WABAC (pronounced way-back) machine from the
`
`Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show. The Wayback Machine makes it possible to
`
`search and browse more than 450 billion publicly available web pages stored in the
`
`
`
`6
`
`ClearCorrect Exhibit 1012, Page 6 of 13
`
`

`

`Internet Archive's web archive. Visitors to the Wayback Machine can search the
`
`Archive by keyword(s) or by a website URL. If archived records for a URL or the
`
`keywords are available, the visitor will be presented with a display of available
`
`capture dates. The visitor may select one or more of those dates and be taken to the
`
`collection of web captures associated with the specific web crawls and the point in
`
`time from which the capture came.
`
`17. This archived data made publicly viewable and available by the
`
`Wayback Machine is obtained using web archiving software that automatically
`
`stores copies of files from the Internet, each file preserved as it existed at a
`
`particular point in time.
`
`18. The Internet Archive assigns a unique URL to all archived files within
`
`the Wayback Machine in the following format: http://web.archive.org/web/[Year in
`
`yyyy][Month in mm][Day in dd][Time code inhh:mm:ss]/[Archived URL]. This is
`
`known as an “extended URL” format.
`
`19. For example, the Internet Archive extended URL
`
`http://web.archive.org/web/19970126045828/http://www.archive.org/ denotes the
`
`URL for the record of the Internet Archive home page archived on January 26,
`
`1997 at 4:58 a.m. and 28 seconds (1997/01/26 at 04:58:28).
