Even if Kraft could establish that Rychiger cartridges were in public use at the relevant time, those cartridges would not anticipate because their foil lids are not "capable of being pierced to permit flow into and out of" the cartridge as required by the Court's construction. Keurig's independent technical expert, MIT Professor Alexander Slocum, tested the Singles cartridges and concluded that they do not meet these claim limitations.

Kraft even argued to the Patent Office, in prosecuting its own patent applications, that Singles cartridges are not piercable through the foil lid to accommodate an inflow. See infra pp. 4-5. , Kraft has admitted that Keurig and Professor Slocum are right on the very issue that forms the basis of Kraft's invalidity theory. A summary judgment motion advancing the opposite position now would clearly be futile. Between Keurig's unrebutted expert testimony and Kraft's own admissions, there is at the very least a dispute of fact ­ not to mention a credibility question arising from Kraft's attempt to backtrack from its previous statements.

Kraft's Evidence of Public Use Is Deficient in Critical Respects.

Kraft presents no evidence that any member of the public ever used one of the Singles cartridges at Kraft's office. Kraft cites testimony of its own witness Ms. Glus (who worked for the CEO of Kraft's former parent company), but Kraft fails to acknowledge Ms. Glus's admission that (1) a member of the public could not have gained access to Kraft's office without being invited and passing through security; and (2) she has no recollection of any specific visitor to the office who actually used the Singles brewer. See Glus Depo. (Ex. 6) at 82-96. Ms. Glus's testimony at least creates a fact issue as to whether the Singles cartridges in Kraft's offices were available to the public. Woodland Trust v. Flowertree Nursery, Inc., 148 F.3d 1368, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 1998) (reversing finding of invalidity: "[W]hen an asserted prior use is not that of the applicant, § 102(b) is not a bar when that prior use or knowledge is not available to the public."). The situation here mirrors that in Nesea Construction, Inc. v. Bilco Co., 2007 WL 1852289 (D.N.J. June 25, 2007), which involved alleged public use of a patented device on a ship. The fact that sailors (analogous to the Kraft employees in this case) had access to the device did not constitute a public use. As in this case, there was some evidence that members of the public had been permitted into the vicinity (to tour the ship), but the court nevertheless denied the defendant's motion for summary judgment of anticipation because the record did not establish clearly and convincingly what the visitors actually saw or did: "While it is wholly possible that visitors were able to view and use the [device], this Court cannot find that Bilco has presented clear and convincing evidence that this did in fact transpire." Id. at *4. Kraft's summary judgment motion would fail for the same reason. Moreover, there is a factual dispute over whether the Singles cartridges in Kraft's offices were of the Rychiger or Lambert varieties. This is significant because if water is injected through the foil lid of a Lambert cartridge, much of the liquid exits through the open inlet hole on the opposite side of the cartridge, rather than through the outlet nozzle ­ another reason why the Lambert cartridge does not meet the limitations of the claims-in-suit. See Slocum Decl. (Ex. 2) ¶¶ 28-29. As noted above, Kraft does not even contend that it would be entitled to summary judgment of anticipation if the cartridges in public use were of the Lambert type. Ms. Glus testified that she cannot recall whether the cartridges she used had an open inlet (Lambert) or were closed (Rychiger). (Ex. 6 at 66). Importantly, however, another Kraft witness, Ms. Greto, recalled the inlet being open. See Greto Depo. (Ex. 7) at 63-65. At the very least, this testimony creates a fact issue as to which cartridges were shipped by Kraft to the U.S.

Ms. Greto's testimony that the cartridges she saw in the U.S. had an open inlet (i.e., Lambert), and Ms. Grus's inability to recall one way or the other, plainly creates a dispute of material fact precluding summary judgment. B. Singles Cartridges Do Not Anticipate, as Kraft Has Admitted.

Singles cartridges are designed to be pierced on one side (through a hard plastic shell) for an inlet, and on the opposite side (through foil) for an outlet. See Slocum Decl. (Ex. 2) ¶¶ 9-12.

Prior to this litigation, Kraft itself had argued that Singles cartridges were not piercable through the foil lid to accommodate an inflow. In a European patent application for its T-Disc (the accused product here), Kraft described the T-Disc almost exactly as Keurig's patent does, i.e., as having a lid that is "pierceable in use to accommodate an inflow." (Ex. 10 at 22, claim 1). The Patent Examiner rejected Kraft's claim over prior art patents describing Singles, and Kraft responded by arguing that the Singles cartridge "is not designed to make it suitable for the laminate in that region to be pierced to form an inlet." (Ex. 11 at 1) (emphasis added). Kraft's taking the same position in its own patent prosecution that Keurig and Professor Slocum have now articulated to the Court is a compelling reason to deny summary judgment.6 On this point, Haberman v. Gerber Prods. Co., 236 Fed. Appx. 592 (Fed. Cir. 2007) is instructive. The defendant alleged patent invalidity on the ground that the prior art was capable

Kraft's argument was not limited to Europe. Kraft also sought T-Disc patent claims in the U.S.

of performing the claimed function. Yet in prosecuting one of its own patents, the defendant had earlier told the Patent Office that the same prior art was not capable of performing that function. Noting that the defendant had contradicted itself before the Patent Office, the Federal Circuit reversed the district court's judgment of anticipation. Id. at 598. Kraft claims (Br. at 4) that its engineers have performed tests showing the Singles foil lid to be piercable to accommodate an inflow. Kraft's tests, however, merely multiply the fact issues here. AstraZeneca AB v. Mutual Pharmaceutical Co., 278 F. Supp. 2d 491, 515 (E.D. Pa. 2003) (no anticipation shown by experiments "undertaken only for purposes of [the] litigation" which proved only that the limitation would be present "under certain laboratory conditions created by Defendant").

Transclean Corp. v. Bridgewood Servs., Inc., 290 F.3d 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (rejecting anticipation defense: "Although it is possible that the [prior art] could under some circumstances ... effectively equalize the flow rates [as claimed], it is also possible for that not to be the case."). That the Court's claim construction uses the phrase "capable of" accommodating an inflow does not change the result as Kraft suggests. For example, in Medtronic Vascular, Inc. v. Adv. Cardiovascular Sys., 2005 WL 67085 (D. Del. Jan. 5, 2005), the claim recited a stent "capable of being compressed onto a catheter for delivery." Defendants argued that a prior-art stent anticipated because it could, in theory, have operated in the claimed manner under certain conditions. This Court rejected that defense because the prior-art stent worked differently from the stent claimed in the patent, and the prior art made "no reference to how it [could] be used in the patented manner." Id. at *9. Likewise, there is no dispute that Singles cartridges are designed for opposite-side piercing, not same-side piercing as claimed in Keurig's patent.

C.

The Facts of Record Support Validity and Infringement of Claims 8 and 10.

Kraft argues that it is entitled to a finding of invalidity or non-infringement for claims 8 and 10 because "the Kenco Singles Cartridge is less permeable to oxygen than the accused TDisc." (Br. at 5). Ex. 14 (Singles cartridge has one month shelf life). There is at least a fact question on infringement of claims 8 and 10 by the T-Disc because Keurig's expert Professor Slocum explains that it is impermeable within the meaning of claims 8 and 10. (Ex. 15 ­ Ex. C at 4). On the issue of validity, Kraft bears the burden of proof, by clear and convincing evidence, that Singles cartridges are impermeable, yet Kraft offers no such evidence, and even appears to take the opposite position in its brief (at 1-2). Summary judgment would plainly be inappropriate.

6.

I have been asked by Keurig and its counsel to consider whether Kenco Singles

cartridges manufactured and sold by Kraft satisfy the limitations of the claims in Keurig's U.S. Patent No. 6,607,762. I understand that I will be called upon to submit an expert report concerning these issues on May 13, 2008. 7. While my expert report is not due for a month, I have conducted preliminary

testing of Singles cartridges under various conditions to evaluate whether they meet the requirements of the claims, including the requirement that they be "piercable to accommodate an inflow of liquid" to produce a beverage inside the cartridge (in the language of the Court's claim construction, "capable of being pierced to permit a flow of liquid into" to produce a beverage). 8. Similarly, the claims also require that the cartridge be "piercable to accommodate

an outflow of the beverage" from the cartridge (in the language of the Court's claim construction, "capable of being pierced to permit a beverage to flow out"). KENCO SINGLES CARTRIDGES 9. Singles cartridges are single-serve beverage cartridges designed to be inserted into

a Singles brewing machine to produce a cup of coffee. The Kraft diagram below (obtained from http://www.kencocoffeecompany.co.uk) shows how the Kenco Singles cartridge works. 10. The Singles cartridge has a generally rectangular, hard plastic shell with an

opening on one side through which coffee grounds are introduced during manufacture. That opening is covered by a foil lid which faces down during the brewing process, as depicted in the diagram. Accordingly, in the diagram the plastic shell is visible but the downward-facing foil lid ("foil freshness seal") is not.

Hard plastic shell

11.

As shown in the diagram, the hard plastic shell of the Singles cartridge is

provided with an inlet into which hot water is injected, under pressure, to begin the brewing process. After passing through the inlet, the pressurized water flows around the periphery of the cartridge in a narrow manifold that is provided with "microchannels" for even dispersal of water. The water is pumped through these microchannels into the central coffee bed. After mixing with the coffee grounds in the coffee bed, the beverage flows upward, against gravity, through a filter and into a second set of channels on the top side of the cartridge. The beverage then flows through those channels, across the top of the cartridge, and ultimately down through an outlet nozzle (shown in white on the left side of the diagram). Following manufacture, the nozzle is covered with the foil lid, but during the brewing process that portion of the lid is punctured and pushed out of the way to permit an outflow of beverage into a waiting cup. 12. Thus, the Singles cartridges are pierced on one side, through the hard plastic shell

at the inlet, to accommodate an inflow of water, and on the opposite side, through the foil lid, to accommodate an outflow of beverage via the outlet nozzle.

13.

For the cartridge to function properly, pumping water through two sets of small

channels, up against gravity, and through a filter, the brewing process must take place at relatively high pressure.

15.

I have been asked to review two different variations of Singles cartridges, dubbed

the "Rychiger" and "Lambert" cartridges after the production lines on which they are made. Some Singles production lines were apparently installed by the Rychiger company, while others were installed by the Lambert company. ( 16. , there is a significant difference between Lambert and Rychiger cartridges ­ namely, Lambert cartridges are manufactured with an open inlet hole, while Rychiger cartridges are manufactured with a closed inlet hole that must be opened by a puncturing action at the time of brewing. Open inlet hole (Lambert) Closed inlet hole (Rychiger)

17.

In use in a Singles brewer, this difference is immaterial because the inlet hole on

the Rychiger cartridge is opened by a puncturing action at the beginning of the brewing cycle, and the subsequent injection of the water through the inlet of the two cartridges is identical. 18. When testing Singles cartridges in other modes of use for which they were not

designed, however, the difference between Lambert and Rychiger cartridges can be important, as discussed below. PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS ABOUT KRAFT'S CONTENTIONS 19. I understand that Kraft contends that the foil lid on Singles cartridges is piercable

to accommodate both inflow of water and an outflow of beverage. 20. As a preliminary matter, this feature is not disclosed explicitly in the Singles

cartridges themselves. When an engineer examines a Singles cartridge, it is immediately apparent from the cartridge design, including the flow paths described above and the beveled shape of the inlet, that the water is to be injected through the inlet in the hard plastic shell (on the right side in the diagram on page 3), with the beverage exiting through the nozzle (on the left side of the diagram) that is revealed by piercing and peeling back the foil covering. 21. There is no indication that the cartridge might be piercable to accommodate an

inflow through the foil lid. In fact, piercing directly through the lid in an attempt to form an inlet would render useless a key feature of the cartridge, namely the manifold. The manifold, described briefly above, is designed and functions to spread the water out around the periphery of the coffee bed to more evenly wet the coffee grounds. Injecting water through the inlet provided in the plastic shell enables one to take advantage of the manifold; injecting directly through the foil lid into the coffee bed would bypass the manifold and forfeit the benefits of even coffee ground wetting.

22.

Moreover, if an engineer were to consider piercing the foil lid to form an inlet

(something I do not believe a person of skill in the art would be motivated to do, given the other features of the Singles cartridge already discussed) obtaining a satisfactory seal to accommodate an inflow would still be a major challenge, particularly at the Singles cartridges' high operating pressures. 23. Given these observations, in my opinion Singles cartridges do not disclose the

concept of single-side piercing or the "capability" of being pierced through the foil lid to form an inlet and an outlet.

26.

I have performed my own preliminary tests on Singles cartridges, which have led

me to a different conclusion than Kraft's engineers. MY PRELIMINARY TESTS OF SINGLES CARTRIDGES 27. As noted above, I plan to complete my testing and submit a full expert report on

Kraft's invalidity allegations by the Court-ordered deadline of May 13, 2008. To date, however, I have performed several preliminary tests which led me to conclude that Singles cartridges are not piercable through the foil lid to accommodate an inflow of water and an outflow of beverage.

28.

As a preliminary matter, my tests of so-called Lambert cartridges (i.e., cartridges

with the open inlet as described above1) revealed that when water is injected through the foil lid, liquid exits through the open inlet hole on the opposite side of the cartridge. This defeats the purpose of the outlet nozzle through which a beverage is intended to exit the cartridge, and through which a beverage must exit in order for the Singles cartridge to meet the "outflow" limitation of the Keurig patent claims. The liquid exiting through the inlet makes a mess: Beverage exiting through inlet hole on Lambert cartridge

Foil-side inlet piercing on Lambert cartridge leads to uncontrolled mess. 29. My tests of Lambert cartridges revealed that at least as much liquid exits through

the inlet hole as through the outlet nozzle. While the liquid that exits through the outlet nozzle can be captured in a cup, the liquid that exits through the inlet hole cannot easily be captured and instead oozes out of the hole, dripping all over the cartridge and onto the floor. (Were the cartridge mounted inside a brewer, the coffee would of course drip into the brewer.) In some cases I modified Rychiger cartridges, by punching through the inlet hole, to simulate the conditions of a Lambert cartridge. -71

30.

My tests of both Lambert and Rychiger cartridges also revealed another set of

fundamental problems with creation of an inlet through the foil. The foil over the coffee bed lacks any kind of support structure against which to press a gasket or other device to form a seal. (By contrast, the Tassimo T-Discs that are accused of infringement in this case are provided with a support structure, such that their lids are piercable to accommodate an inflow.) 31. Accordingly, when attempting to pierce the foil lid over the coffee bed to create

an inflow, with different needles, at a variety of pressures, and in a variety of orientations, I experienced spewing of coffee and liquid that was difficult to control, and danger of burns. On one occasion I was burned by the hot liquid flowing over my rubber glove and onto my forearm. 32. The following photograph is one example of the dangerous conditions that

resulted when I attempted to pierce the foil side of a Singles cartridge to form an inlet for hot water.

COMMENTS ON KRAFT'S TESTING

CONCLUSION 37. While I plan to perform and document additional testing of Singles cartridges, my

preliminary testing shows that Singles cartridges are not either explicitly or inherently piercable through the foil lid to accommodate an inflow of water and a quality outflow of beverage. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
