PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Bizarre that Google attorneys are underlining that Michelle Lee is not
the only mastermind of the process of selecting APJs, and the USPTO
Chief Judge is also liable for that task. Is it a way to divert attention
away from Michelle Lee or an attempt from Google attorneys to let the
Chief Judge taking the blame?
Google attorneys have also commented that Brite Smart v. Google was
dismissed for failure to prosecute. Google created this failure because it
was Google who requested a change of venue to California. The failure to
prosecute came mainly from the impossibility to find a Californian
contingency attorney willing to risk its own money without facing large
out-of-pocket expenses probably in the millions of dollars in a protracted
battle in a California Court home turf of Google which receives daily

and it's our policy to protect our intellectual property," said Overture
spokesman Al Duncan.
Google denied that it infringes on the patent.

Michelle Lee did not protect inventors and patents owners, she was there
just for Google and a handful of cronies "tech big boys of Silicon Valley".
USPTO shall not be the U.S. governmental agency that grants Appellant
patents in March 2014 and invalidate the same patent in April 2017.
Would not be fair the patent owner to have the USPTO to freeze any
maintenance fee requests until the patent invalidation is overturned by
an appellate proceeding?
Fed. Cir. should have in mind the fact that Mr. Zuili has never been
trained as an attorney. Zulli is primarily an inventor. The
implementation of AlA thanks to President Obama and a majority of
senators who probably did not really understood or envisioned the real

damages they did to innovation by voting Yes they could have very well
voted instead for a law dubbed "How to make American Inventors Poor"
(HMAIP), but congressmen voted for "America Invents Act" (AlA).
Appearance is safe at least for them.
Google attorneys are mentioning that many people involved who gave
testimony or declarations in support of Google for instance at lAB. It is
difficult not to give a declaration when someone works for an
organization directly or indirectly financed by Google and when Google
asks for such declaration. Has Google financed lAB? Was lAB financed
directly or indirectly by Google and what amount and under what form
had such financing? Was the URL "IAB.com" previously owned by Google
before to be assigned to lAB? Why a representative of Google has a board
seat at lAB is it to influence any decision?
Why Michelle Lee has never been subjected to submit information about
her and her family financial interest in Google shares, such lack of
transparency in 2017 is wrong and should be rectified as soon as possible.
More than 400 meetings between the Obama Administration and the
Google Team have lead a dire situation for patent owners.
No, it is not Zuili who invented the nickname "Googirl". Googirl was
the name that was given to Marissa Mayer, (a former Google
executive, served as CEO and President ofYahoo until June 2017) by
a press article but not by Patrick Zuili. Shortly after it was mentioned
in Appellant corrected appeal brief, the "Googirl" article vanishes from
the Web. http://gawker.com/362143/googirl-article-vanishes-from-web
1. Mr. Zuili has presented facts related to proceedings visible on the surface
which even a layman can find out and therefore no theories conspire.
organic apples online. A patent for worm(s) detection does not become
a CBM patent because of its incidental or complementary use in the
online apple merchant selling healthy fruit to clients". A similar
approach for a patented detection system identifying users and invalid
clicks does not become a CBM patent because of its incidental or
complementary use by search engine advertising platform at selling
legitimate clicks to clients.
2. The claims are eligible as they are not abstract. Why after granting six
patents, now USPTO said the three granted patents are abstract. PTAB
backing up such flawed pharmacist example to justify the invalidation of
the 057 is a mockery of intelligence of USPTO patent examiners.
Moreover, the claims cannot be practiced mentally. Claims disclose use
of encoded codes along with timestamps to detect click frauds.
3. Claims are valid over Laurent and lAB references due to the inability of
both of these references to teach the method claimed by Mr. Zulli's
patents.

ARGUMENTS
A. "rigged".
PTAB was designed to free Google from long pending litigations to which
former USPTO director Michelle Lee vowed for. PTAB is being governed
by American Tax Payer's money so a citizen should have right to enquire
about the correct usages of its fund and moreover it should be diverted to
such an organization such as PTAB which mostly invalidates the patent
and is a huge advantage for BIG TECH BOYS such as Google. Jameson
Lee did threaten Mr. Zulli of going to jail if found lying but Jameson Lee
did not give such threats to Google who submitted misleading exhibits at
PTAB. Mr. Zulli has asked several times why two boards were assigned
to three patents of same family members wherein the past, this has not
happened. Also, the PTAB and Google has been avoiding this question
for long and Mr. Zulli has not any clarification on this. Selecting the
second set of judges is clearly meaning an act of interference in the
proceedings and court should not disregard these and other similar facts.
B. Google attorneys backtracking today on the 2004 evidence,
evidence they have themselves introduced to Zuili is purely an
act of bad faith and such "flip-flopping', should be denied.
The interesting part here that the 2004 evidence have been presented to
the knowledge of Zulli by Google and not the reverse. The 2004 evidence
9
Case: 17-2161 Document: 34 Page: 10 Filed: 11/29/2017
Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 10 Filed: 11/28/2017
is forming an integral part of those three CBM proceedings that has far
reaching implications that Google wants to erase. The 2004 evidence
should remain active because without the lawsuit Brite Smart v Google,
Google would not have been able to launch three CBM petitions
proceedings against Zulli therefore Google can't use such lawsuit to
launch three CBM petitions against Zulli and refuse essential part from
that lawsuit to be presented which lawsuit precisely has enabled Google
to launch those CBM petitions. One year later, suddenly out of nowhere,
Google filed those "2002 exhibits" a trick for claiming obviousness of
Zulli's patents and when Mr. Zulli went on to IAB.net website, it was
found that at the same time, lAB deployed robots.txt on its citing
migration reasons and thereby deleting any chance of proving the
authenticity of 2002 exhibits. This fact is no coincidence but more likely
a premeditated deletion at the lAB (what a coincidence just after the paid
witness Grey wrote his first paid report on the 057 patent lAB all of
sudden erased the so-called evidence). lAB erasing evidence of so-called
prior art when Google having a seat on the board of lAB is a sign of faulty
behavior.
Moreover, during oral hearing of'057 patent, Mr. Zulli did not have 2004
lAB documents so Mr. Zulli could not produce evidence to prove that the
declarants authenticating that date of availability committed perjury
and this dramatic turn of event is proving us that the lAB 2002
documents are false and the complete mishandling of the 2002 file at lAB
finds today its natural explanation. Mr. Zulli did not have in mind during
oral hearing of the 2004 evidence, the 2004 evidence cancels any

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 11 Filed: 11/28/2017
hypothesis that Mr. Zuili had made during oral hearing. Therefore,
appellant in view of 2004 evidence believes that only the 2004 is real.
1. Google's counsel did not bother to intimate PTAB about job change of
Brian A. Rosenthal. It was only after Mr. Zuili informed the board of
such an incident, PTAB casually asked Google to file a paper and no
actions for failing to inform PTAB. Moreover, Mr. Rosenthal was a
backup counsel who was supposed to act if the lead counsel is not
available. But it was Mr. Rosenthal who took the proceedings forward
in spite of the availability of lead counsel Mr. Siddiqui. Fed. Cir.
should note that Mr. Rosenthal was admitted as backup counsel pro
hac vice.
2. A governmental agency such as the PTAB has aberrantly selected two
different boards for the same patent family and has issued two
opinions being so diametrically opposed regarding a fundamental
aspect of admissibility of evidence over lAB references. lAB references
were accepted by the board headed by APJ Stacey White but were
denied by the board headed by APJ Jameson Lee. Then, after
considering a motion to exclude evidence filed by Patrick Zuili, the
board headed by Stacey White did exclude lAB references which
consists of two documents but then creepily broke that document into
two separate documents in order to circumvent the motion to exclude
decision.

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 12 Filed: 11/28/2017
The Board incorrectly correctly concluded that the patents are eligible for
CBM review. Neither of the two conditions is met i.e. patents neither
claims a method ... for performing data processing or other operations
used in the practice, administration, or management of a financial
product or service. (or vaults" {for a novel bulb]
(See Unwired Planet LCC vs Google Inc. (Fed. Cir. 2016)) Moreover,
patent claims technological invention by providing a technological
solution to the technical problem.
Patents neither claim any financial activity nor depicts any transaction
i.e. flow of money between two parties. Also, patents neither claim any
kind of advertisement method nor claim a method of determining prices
for any financial product. In simple words, patents claim a method of
identifying users before a user clicks on a link and finding invalid clicks

Case: 17-2161 Document: 34 Page: 13 Filed: 11/29/2017
Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 13 Filed: 11/28/2017
Patents do not claim any pay-per-click system and therefore do not claim
a method "used in the practice, administration, or management of' a pay-
per-click system. The Board's reasoning in each review based on above
two premises are ultimately flawed as stated above. Zulli did mention
different usages of the patented technology inside its POR to CBM
petitions filed by Google. The recitation of a "pay-per-click system" here
"disclose 0 fundamental characteristics of the claimed invention which is
related to the operating environment only.
Since the patents do not claim pay-per-click system and can be used in
any alternative clickable environment, patents are not CBM eligible.

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 14 Filed: 11/28/2017
The claim recites various codes being exchanged, it does use the encoded
code in detecting invalid clicks during examination as claimed in the
patents. Codes are encoded with different information such as
timestamps, identity information like MAC address of the device, other
MAC addresses in the subnet of the device or any changes made to the
MAC addresses as mentioned in the specifications. Google as per its
convenience jumps back and forth to specifications and claims.

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 15 Filed: 11/28/2017
The claims are not directed to an abstract idea but to a process or method
of identifying invalid clicks by examining codes and website information.
Claims contain a combination of elements that is sufficient to ensure that
the patent in practice amounts to significantly more than a patent upon
the ineligible concept itself.

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 16 Filed: 11/28/2017
Mr. Zuili got six patents from USPTO which never raised or rejected
patent due to abstract idea issue. The three patents are drawn
specifically towards the concept of tracking user entities and thereafter
detecting invalid clicks based on the time between two requests by the
same device by examining codes and website information." Board, as well
as Google, has forgotten to add an examination of codes and website
information in its abstract idea analysis. The claims neither present a
method of hedging risk nor a mental process. The three patents in
question ('057, '663, '763) relates to a technological solution of the
technical problem of identifying fraudulent clicks in a web-based
environment. Clicks occur over a communication network and not at a
pharmacy store or at the gym. Both Pharmacist/gym examples are totally
flawed since neither discloses an online environment where clicking
activity is taking place over communication network nor the pharmacist
examines codes and website information. Thus, comparison of detecting
invalid clicks with a pharmacist is totally irrational and misleading and
should hold no water before the Federal Circuit. The abstract is
something which is done in the air but here the claims require different
components such as a computer, server, communication network, codes
and an analyzer which will examine timestamps, codes and website
information to detect invalid clicks. The specification does mention about
observing a number of clicks over a period of time which does not limit it

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 17 Filed: 11/28/2017
Codes mentioned in the Patents are encoded in nature and they are
not just the website URLs which user clicks but rather contain more
information as stated above. Indeed, the second and third code is

Case: 17-2161 Document: 37 Page: 18 Filed: 11/28/2017
different from first code. Petitioner cannot overly simplify by saying first
code to be same as second and third code.
Conclusion
No comments from the attorneys in relation of the Google's Director of
Litigation Catherine Lacavera who must have supervised in her capacity
of Chief of Litigation, every exhibit including the false 2002 exhibit before
they were submitted by Counsel Rosenthal and Siddiqui before PTAB.
The Federal Circuit has the moral reserve left to save the integrity of
justice and overturn those biased PTAB decisions.
