2614 ONE NUMBER CORPORATION Patent Owner and Appellant v. GOOGLE INC. Third Party Requester/Respondent and Cross-Appellant 95001408 7,440,565 12/033,042 GIANNETTI 103 KRIEG DEVAULT LLP ESCALANTE, OVIDIO original GAUTHIER, GERALD
Principally, Patent Owner relies on the Federal Circuit’s decision in ResQNet.com, Inc. v. Lansa, Inc., 594 F.3d 860, 865-66 (Fed. Cir. 2010), where the Court concluded that two user’s manuals for a software product were not printed publications. Relying on the Board’s informative decision Ex parte Ronald A. Katz Tech. Licensing L.P., 2011 WL 1676313 at *6 (BPAI May 2, 2011), Third Party Requester points to indicia of publication in the Tekelec documents themselves (copyright notice, references to the publisher) and to the fact that the documents reflect an on-the-market product. TPR Resp. 7-8. Requester distinguishes ResQNet in that the manuals in that case were not marked with any indicia of publication and one, in fact, purported to be “an unpublished work and is considered a trade secret…” Id. at 9 (quoting ResQNet.com, 594 F.3d at 865). Moreover, although not explicitly stated in the decision, the evidentiary standard in ResQNet was clear and convincing evidence; as noted by the Examiner the PTO standard is “preponderance of the evidence.”
