IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE SRI INTERNATIONAL, INC., a California Corporation, Plaintiff, v. INTERNET SECURITY SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation, and SYMANTEC CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, Defendants. RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS' NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY Neither of the two cases cited by Defendants is relevant to this case. Muniauction involved the simple adaptation of a single prior art system for use with a known web browser, where the patentee's expert had conceded the system contained every claimed limitation other than a web browser. Comcast involved a single dependent claim which depended from a claim the Federal Circuit had already determined to be anticipated. Neither of these fact patterns approximates the facts of this case,1 which SRI respectfully suggests warrant a trial. Case No. 04-1199

The apparent basis for citing these cases is their ultimate conclusion that certain claims were obvious. Of course, for every post-KSR case Defendants can cite where a patent claim was invalidated as obvious, SRI could cite a case to the contrary. See, e.g., Ortho-McNeil Pharma. Inc. v. Mylan Labs., Inc., 520 F.3d 1358 (Fed. Cir. 2008) (aff'g summary judgment of nonobviousness and issuance of permanent injunction); Forest Labs. v. Ivax Pharma., 501 F.3d 1263 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (aff'g determination of non-obviousness made after a bench trial in Delaware District Court and issuance of permanent injunction).
