19. Upon information and belief, the '186 patent is statutorily barred by 35 U.S.C.

102(d), should not have been granted, and is invalid and unenforceable on its face since

the related Canadian patent issued before the filing of the application leading to ' 186

patent.

20. For a patent application to be barred pursuant to the pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(d),

there are four requirements as explained in the USPTO's Manual of Patent ExaminingProcedure (incorporated herein where referenced) (MPEP) 2135.01:

1. The foreign application must be filed more than 12 months before the

effective U.S. filing date (modified to six months by 35 U.S.C. 172).

2. The foreign applications must be filed by the same applicant.

3. The foreign patent must be granted before the filing date of the U.S.

Application.

4. The same invention must be involved. [Exhibit F].

21. Referring to 102(d) Requirement 1, STAT's foreign patent, Canada 136152, issued

from a Canadian application for patent filed morethan six months beforethe filing of the

application in the U.S.. STAT's Canada filing date of Jul. 2, 2010 is more than 6 months

before STAT's actual U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.



5/116

22. Referring to 102(d)Requirement 2, each of the STATapplications for the U.S.

Patent, and the Canadian Patent disclose the same inventor, Jeffrey Phillips.

23. Referring to 102(d) Requirement 3, STAT's invention was first patented by the

applicant in a foreigncountry as Canadian patent 136152prior to the date of the application

for patent inthe U.S.. STAT's Canada grant date of Jan. 27, 2011 is before STAT's actual

U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.

24. Referring to 102(d)Requirement 4, each of the STAT applications for the U.S.

Patent, and the Canad ian Patent ar e directed to th e same invention.

25. 35 U.S.C. 102(d) is a statutory bar, therefore STAT cannot establish an earlier

date of invention to overcome the effect of Canada 136152 under 102(d). See In re

Kathawala, 9 F.3d 942, at 946 (Fed. Cir. 1993).

STAT '186 Unenforceability due to False Statement - Foreign Filing

26. 18 U.S.C. 1001 states that Whoever, in any mat ter within the jur isdiction of the

executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States,knowingly

and willfully (1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a

material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or

representation; or (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to

contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under

this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or

domestic terrorism (as defined in 2331), imprisonednot morethan 8 years, or both. If the

matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110,or 117,or 1591,then the term

of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.

27. Jeffrey Phillips signed an inventor's declaration in support of U.S. design

application 29/399,030,which application was later grantedas U.S. D692186. [Exhibit G].

28. The Phillips declaration declares under penalty of 18 U.S.C. 1001 that I do not

know and do not believe that the same invention was first patented or made the subject of

an inventor's certificate that issued in any country foreign to the United States of America

before the filing dateof this United States application if the foreign application was filed



6/116

by me, or by my legal representatives or assigns, more than twelve months (six months in

the case of design patents) prior to the filing date of this United States application.

(Emphasis added).

29. The Phillips declaration further declares that all statements made herein of myown knowledge are true, and that all statements made on information and belief are

believed to be true; and further that these statements were made with the knowledge that

willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or

both, under 1001 of Title 18 o f the United States Code, and that such willful false

statements may jeopardize the validity of the application or any patent issuing thereon.

30. A patent is unenforceable if it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the

inventor procured the patent by intentional deception of the patent examiner. Therasense,

Inc. v. Becton Dickenson & Co. 649 F3d 1276 (Fed. Cir. May 25, 2011). Inequitable

conduct must be material and intentional.

31. Signing of a false affidavit is evidence of materiality. Rohm & Haas Co. v. Crystal

Chem. Co., 722 F2d 1556 (Fed. Cir. 1983).

32. Upon informationand belief, STAT was aware of their own U.S. patent filing Aug.

9, 2011 and nonetheless attempted to make a false claim to priority to the Canadianapplication filed July 2, 2010 outside the mandatory 6-month window.

33. A priority claim to an earlier foreign application must satisfy 35 U.S.C. 119 and

37 C.F.R. 1.55 and 1.63. 35 U.S.C. 119(a) states: An application for patent for an

invention filed in this country by any person who has . . . previously regularly filed an

application for a patent for the same invention in a foreign country which affords similar

privileges in the case of applications filed in the United States or to citizens of the United

States, or in a WTO member country, shall have the same effect as the same application

would have if filed in this country on the dateon which the application for patent forthe

same invention was first filed in such foreign country, if the application in this country is

filed within twelve months from the earliest dateon which such foreign application was

filed. For design patents, 35 U.S.C. 172 modifies the twelve month time limit imposed

by35 U.S.C. 119, limiting such period to six months: The rightof priority provided for



7/116

by subsections (a) through (d) of section 119 of this title and the time specified in section

102(d) shall be six months in the case of designs [Emphasis added].

34. U.S. applicants for patent and anyone associated with the application have an

affirmative duty of candor and good faith, which includes a duty to disclose any and allinformation material to patentability. 37 C.F.R. 1.56.

35. Applicants have a duty to bring to the attention of the Office any material prior art

or other information cited or brought to their attention in any related foreign application.

M P E P 2 0 0 1 .0 6 .

36. Upon information and belief, STAT did not notify the USPTO or the Examiner that

the Canadian application had matured Jan. 27, 2011 into a registered Canadian patent136152, even though this was more than 6 months before the U.S. filing date of Aug. 9,

2011. The file history of the U.S. patent shows that there was not even a single Information

Disclosure Statement (IDS) filed, which is the mechanism by which the duty owed to the

USPTO is discharged. [EXHIBIT H].

37. Upon information and belief, STAT's failure to notify the USPTO of the Canadian

patent avoided the consequences of the application for patent being denied as statutorily

barred and rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(d).

38. Upon information and belief, STAT's failure satisfies the but for materiality

required by Therasense - the patent would not have been granted but for the inventor's

deception.

39. Upon information and belief, STAT's Intent is shown by the affirmative signing of

the inventor's declaration on Aug. 30, 2013 whereby the inventor promises not to do

exactly what the inventor did, namely withhold evidence of unpatentability. Intent may beinferred where a patent applicant knew or should have known that withheld information

would be material o the PTO's consideration of the patent application. Critikon Inc. v.

Becton Dickenson Vascular Access Inc., 43 U.S.P.Q.2d 1666, 1668 (Fed. Cir. 1997).

40. A holding of inequitable conduct renders all claims of the patent unenforceable.

Kingsdown Med. Consultants Ltd v. Hollister, Inc. 863 F2d 867 (Fed. Cir. 1988).



8/116

Inequitable conduct is an equitable defense to patent infringement, and is therefore for the

court to decide, not the jury. Kingsdown at 876.

41. Upon information and belief, because of STAT/Phillip's false statement, the patent

is required to be held as unenforceable.

STAT '186 Invalidity due to Sta tu tory Bar Admission

in STAT's Trademark Filing

42. Upon information and belief, STAT's patent is invalid due to Statutory Bars under

35 U.S.C. 102.

43. 35 U.S.C. 102(a), and 102(b) entitled Novelty; Prior Art states that: A person

shall be entitled to a patent unless(a) the invention was known or used by others in this

country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country, before

the invention thereof by the applicant for patent, or (b) the invention was patented or

described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in

this country, more than one year prior to the date of the application for patent in the United

States .

44. 35 U.S.C. 102, Novelty, defines eight statutory bars to patentability. The eight

statutory bars can be interpreted as whether the claimed invention was:

BEFO RE TH E DA I E O F INVENTION

(1) Known by someone other than the inventor, in the United States, 102(a);

(2) Used by someone other than the inventor, in the United States, 102(a);

(3) Patentedby someone other than the inventor, anywhere in the world, 102(a);

(4) Published by someone other than the inventor, anywhere in the world, 102(a);

o r wa s

APPLICATION

(5) Patented by the inventor or anyone else, anywhere in the world, 102(b);

(6) Published by the inventor or anyone else, anywhere in the world, 102(b);

(7) Used by the inventor or anyone else, in the United States, 102(b); or

(8) Sold by the inventor or anyone else, in the United States, 102(b).

45. The Invention was published in STAT's own trademark application and

constitutes a 102(a) and (b) Statutory Bar against STAT's patent application. In U.S.

Trademark Application Serial Number 85/392,844, STAT submitted a photographic

image of a bearded hat as a trademark specimen. The photographic image of a bearded

hat submitted in STAT's trademark application is the same as or substantially the same as

th e invention c la imed in D 692 18 6. E XH IB IT I.

46. STAT filed a Sworn Statement of Use in Commerce to support Stat's Trademark

Application Serial Number 85/392,844, now Trademark Registration 4,128,503.

E X H I B I T J.

47. STATallegeda date of first use in commerce at least as early as Apr. 1,2010 .

E X H I B I T K.

48. The use or sale of the invention at least as early as Apr. 1, 2010 is more than a

year beforethe actual U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011 forthe STAT patent application.

49. STAT's U.S. Trademark ApplicationSerial Number 85/392,844 was filed by Phillips, Jeffrey B. EXHIBIT L

50. STAT's U.S. Trademark Application Serial Number 85/392,844 lists Daniel S.

Ward as the domestic representative. EXHIBIT M.



10/116

51. STAT's Publication, or Use, or Sale, or O ffer for S ale as submitted as evidence in

STAT's trademark application is an admission that the invention was published before the

date of invention, or used, sold, or offered for sale morethan a year beforethe U.S. filing

date of Aug. 9,2011.

52. Because 35 U.S.C. 102(a) and 35 U.S.C. 102(b) are both statutory bars to

patentability, STAT cannot establish an earlier date of invention to overcome the effect of

STAT's Publication, or Use, or Sale, or Offer for Saleunder 102(a)and 102(b).

STAT '186 Invalidity due to Tara Duff Prior Art Provided by STAT

53. STAT provided in co-pending civil lawsuit 3:13-cv-00762 a document entitled

Tara Duffs internet blog dated Dec. 27, 2009 (1 year and 8 months before their U.S.

filing date), which shows multiple photographic images of bearded hats for sale by third

party Ms. Tara Duff, and which is in effect an admission and acknowledgement of the

unpatentability and unenforceability of D692186. STATDiscovery Document 000219 in

C iv il A c ti o n 3:13-cv-00762. Exhibit N.

54. The photographic images of bearded hats on Tara Duffs internet blog publicationdated Dec. 27, 2009 are the same as or substantially the same as the invention claimed in

D 6 9 2 1 8 6 .

55. Dec. 27, 2009 is morethan a year beforethe filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.

56. In violation of 35 U.S.C. 102(a) and (b), Tara Duffs Publication, or Use, or Sale,

or Offer for Sale constitutes invalidating prior art and shows that the invention was

published before the date of invention, or used, sold, or offered for sale more than a yearbefore the U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.

products such as Tara Duff et al. EXHIBIT M, and STAT's own sales in 2009. EXHIBITQ.

62. Upon information and belief, STAT did not notify the USPTO or the Examiner

about either the trademark submission, the Tara Duff sales, or STAT's sales. EXHIBIT N.

63. Upon informationand belief, STAT's failureto notifythe USPTO of the trademarksubmission, the Tara Duff sales, or STAT's own sales, avoided the consequences of the

application for patent being denied as statutorily barred and rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102.

64. Upon information and belief, STAT's failure satisfies the but for materiality

required by Therasense - the patent would not have been granted but for the inventor's

deception.

65. Upon information and belief, STAT's Intent is shownby the affirmative signing ofaninventor's declaration on Aug. 30,2013 whereby theinventor promises nottodo exactly

what the inventordid, namelywithhold evidence of unpatentability. Intent may be inferred

where a patent applicant knew or should have known that withheld information would be

The STAT U.S. Design Patent is Obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103

12



13/116

73. Regarding patentability of an invention, 35 U.S.C. 103 entitled Obviousness

states that: A patent may not be obtained through the invention is not identically disclosed

or described as set forth in Section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject

matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole

would have beenobvious at the time the invention was madeto a person havingordinary

skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shallnot be negatived by

t he m a nn er in which th e invent ion was made.

74. To establish primafacie obviousness, all the claim limitations must be taught or

suggested by the prior art. In determining primafacie obviousness, the proper standard is

whether the design would have been obvious to a designer of ordinary skill with the

claimed type of article. /// re Nalbandian, 661 F.2d 1214, 211 USPQ 782 (CCPA 1981)and M P E P 1504.03.

75. As a whole, a design must be compared with something in existence, and not

something brought into existence by selecting and combining features from prior art

references. /// re Jennings, 182 F.2d 207, 86 USPQ 68 (CCPA 1950) and MPEP 1504.03.

The something in existence referred to in Jennings has been defined as ...a reference...

the design characteristics of which are basically the same as the claimed design... /// re

Rosen, 673 F.2d 388, 391, 213 USPQ 347, 350 (CCPA 1982) and MPEP 1504.03. (theprimaryreference did ...not give the same visual impression... as the design claimed but

had a ...different overall appearance and aesthetic appeal... )

76. Upon information and belief, STAT's U.S. D692,186 Patent is obvious in view of

STAT's own Canadian Patent 136152 since STAT's effective U.S. filing date is Aug. 9,

2011, but STAT's Canadian patent 136152was registered as a patent Jan. 27, 2011 before

their U.S. filing date.

77. Upon information and belief, STAT's U.S. D692,l 86 Patent is obvious in view of

STAT's British patent 4018784, since the British patent was registered as a patent Mar. 7,

2011 before STAT's U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011. EXHIBIT P.

Th e STAT U.S. Design Patent is Invalid for Functionality

78. The design patentstatute restrictsdesign patentsto ornamental designs, and cannot

includefunctional elementswithin the scope of protection. LA . Gear v.ThomMcAn Shoe

Co. 988 F.2d 1117 (Fed. Cir 1993) and cases discussed therein.

79. STAT's design of a detachable beard face maskon a ski hat representsthe sine qua

non of a functionality problem. It has been shown, per the many pieces of prior art listed

herein above, that bearded masks were known over a year prior to the effective filingdate

of Plaintiffs DesignPatent. Since the sole remaining feature is detachability, which is a

purelyfunctional feature, the designitselfis notentitled to protection undera designpatent.

BEARD HEAD'S Noninfringement of D692186

80. Upon information and belief, BEARD HEAD products do not infringe any valid

claim o f D692186.

M E M O R A N D U M O R D E R

(Granting Plaintiffs Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss)

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff STAT, Ltd.'s ( Plaintiff ) Motion

to Voluntarily Dismiss (ECF No. 49), filed on September 8, 2014, whereby Plaintiff

moves to voluntarily dismiss Count One of Plaintiffs Complaint against all defendants,

pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ( Rule 41(a)(2) ). In

light of Defendant's pending motion for summaryjudgment, the Court will consider the

potentialprejudice of granting the Plaintiff's Motion for Voluntary Dismissal pursuant to

Rule 41(a)(2). For the reasons set forth herein, the Motion is GRANTED.

Rule 41(a)(2) provides that once theopposing party has filed a summary judgment

motion, an action may be dismissed at the plaintiffs request only by court order, on

termsthat the courtconsidersproper. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). Rule 41(a)(2)

empowers] district courts to exercise discretion over voluntary dismissals. Go

Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 508 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2007). The purpose of

Rule 41(a)(2) is to freely allow voluntary dismissals unless the parties will be unfairly

Civil Action No. 3 : I 3 C V 7 6 2 - H E H



51/116

Case 3:13-cv-00762-HEH Document 55 Filed 09/10/14 Page 2 of 3 PagelD# 57 5

prejudiced. Davis v. USXCorp., 819 F.2d 1270, 1273 (4th Cir. 1987). A district court

should grant a Rule 41(a)(2) motion absent plain legal prejudice to the defendant.

Bridge Oil, Ltd. V Green Pacific A/S, 321 F. App'x 244,245 (4th Cir. 2008).

The Fourth Circuit has identified four general factors this Court will consider in

assessing prejudice: (1) the opposing party's effort and expense in preparing for trial; (2)

excessive delay or lack of diligence on the part of the movant; (3) insufficient explanation

o f the need fora dismissal; and (4) the present stage o f the litigation, i.e., whether a

motion for summary judgment is pending. Gross v. Spies, 133 F.3d 914, 1998 WL

8006, at *5 (4th Cir. 1998) (unpublished table decision). But the pendency of a summary

judgment motion or the prospect of subsequent litigation does not constitute plain legal

prejudice of the sortto defeat a Rule 41(a)(2) motion. Bridge Oil, 321 F. App'x at 245.

Considering these factors, granting Plaintiffs motionwill not unfairly prejudice

the Defendant. Proceedings in the case have been stayed to facilitate settlement

discussions (ECF No. 48). When negotiations proved futile, Plaintiff punctually filed its

motion to voluntarily dismiss Count One of the Complaint and has presented a reasonable

explanation as to the need for dismissal. Specifically, Plaintiffexplains that dismissal will

streamline this litigation and will not harm the remaining trademark infringement or

cybersquatting claims of the Defendant (ECF No. 50). By Order (ECF No. 41) the Court

stayed all proceedings, discovery, and deadlines pursuant to the parties' Joint Motion

(ECF No. 40).

While the Court has now partially lifted the stay (ECF No. 46) to allow the

Defendants to file a motion for summary judgment, such a limited advance of this case



52/116

Case 3:13-cv-00762-HEH Document 55 Filed 09/10/14 Page 3 of 3 PagelD# 576

does not constitute the plain legal prejudice envisioned by the Fourth Circuit when

balanced against the opposing party's effort and expense in preparing for trial.

Moreover, as the Fourth Circuit has explained, merely filing a motion for summary

judgment is not enough to establish unfair prejudice. Most importantly, this Court by

Order (ECF No. 43) granted Defendant's motion to voluntarily dismiss its Antitrust

counterclaim against Plaintiffafter Plaintiff fully briefed its 12(b)(6) motion (ECF No.

15).There is simply no basis for finding that Defendant will be unfairly prejudiced by

granting the Plaintiffs motion to voluntarily dismiss its patent infringement claim.Accordingly, Count One of Plaintiffs Complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT

PREJUDICE; Defendant's motion for summary judgment is denied as MOOT regarding

only Count One of Plaintiffs Complaint. Any other claims discussed therein shall be

developed and fully briefed in accordance with the Order (ECF No. 53) of this Court.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Memorandum Order to all counselo f record.

It is so O R D E R E D .
