1. On March 16, 2017 , StrikeForce sued SecureAuth in the Eastern District of Virginia for willfully infringing the Asserted Patents.
Treble damages may be awarded for willful patent infringement.

2. Ropes and Gray in the USPTO Court (PTAB) won all challenges to StrikeForce's IP on October 16, 2017 . These support the patent holder.

3. SecureAuth in December 2017 won a dismissal by basically saying the patent is not valid because of the Alice 101. This is the opposite of what the USPTO (PTAB) had ruled two months earlier on October 17, 2017.
http://www.patentdocs.org/2016/05/section-101...klash.html

4. The dismissal was appealed, and the other infringement cases were stayed.

5. A relevant case from The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit February 8, 2018
STEVEN E. BERKHEIMER vs. HP INC., case 2017-1437
https://www.law360.com/articles/1060000/the-t...ear-report
"The Federal Circuit jolted the patent world with this February decision, and similar follow-on rulings, which collectively made it more challenging for accused infringers to knock out patents"
https://investorshangout.com/post/view?id=5080473

6. As pointed out in Rope's and Gray's appeal brief from March 26, 2018 , the lower court made a number of mistakes.
https://investorshangout.com/post/view?id=4985879

7. Then another relevant case, The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled on April 24, 2018 in a 7 to 2 decision that the USPTO has the Constitutional Right to decide the validity of a patent.
https://www.law360.com/ip/articles/1013951 (The USPTO had already validated StrikeForce's patents on October 17, 2017.)

8. The appeal reply brief by SecureAuth's attorney on May 7, 2018
https://jumpshare.com/v/qGPBC944xOGw8FIn1o6B

9. The Strikeforce reply to the SecureAuth brief was filed June 4, 2018 .
https://jumpshare.com/v/DTfcX8CMb23MRwOG01GX

10. The process is moving along. June 11, 2018
SFOR Appendix is filed for Appeal of SFOR vs. SecureAuth
https://jumpshare.com/v/tDD65VB293l4so6Q8f3Y
Both parties (SFOR and SecureAuth) are in compliance with Rule 33 having discussed settlement
https://jumpshare.com/v/D9znqgHlxjcMstBLBIcu
http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/fi...2.2017.pdf

11. Then another relevant case and 7-2 decision, The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled on June 22, 2018
"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that a Schlumberger Ltd. unit can recover profits it lost outside the U.S. due to a rival’s infringement of its oil exploration patents, saying the Federal Circuit was wrong to hold that such damages cannot be awarded based on overseas conduct." The decision supports the patent holder.
https://www.law360.com/ip/articles/1047357

12. Again, a relevant case from November 16, 2018 Federal Circuit Court of Appeals reverses and remands yet another one of numerous unrelated cases that had said a patent was invalid under the Alice standard. The decision supports the patent holder. This is Precedential.
Same court as appeal (Federal Circuit Court of Appeals)
Same infringer defense team , Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP
Parallel argument , abstract idea and Alice 101 step 1
Precedential decision
“we conclude that claim 1 of the ’941 patent is not directed to an abstract idea. Improving security here, against a computer’s unauthorized use of a program can be a non-abstract computer functionality improvement if done by a specific technique that departs from earlier approaches to solve a specific computer problem.“

https://www.law360.com/ip/articles/1102847
http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/fi...6-2018.pdf

13. Citation of Supplemental Authority submitted November 27, 2018 to the 18-1470 docket by the team representing Strikeforce. See also November 16, 2018 above
"Ancora confirms that these concrete improvements over prior art security systems, specifying a particular assignment of functionalities across the variously claimed components, are patent eligible. Ancora, slip op. at 10-11. Under Ancora, and this Court’s prior decisions, these claims are not abstract and are patent eligible under § 101. Accordingly, the district court’s ruling must be reversed."
Respectfully submitted,
Douglas H. Hallward-Driemeier
