February 8, 2018
A relevant case from The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

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

April 24, 2018
Then another relevant case, The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled 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.)

June 22, 2018
Then another relevant case and 7-2 decision, The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS)
"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."

https://www.law360.com/ip/articles/1047357

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. This 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.“

November 27, 2018 Citation of Supplemental Authority submitted 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,

excerpt from the Duo case;
STRIKEFORCE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. v. DUO SECURITY INCORPORATED
New Jersey District Court
Case 2:16-cv-03571-JMV-MF Document 71 Filed 06/05/17
https://ecf.njd.uscourts.gov/doc1/119112009909
John Michael Vazquez, presiding
Mark Falk, referral
pg 10-11 of the pdf
"Incredibly, defendants tell this Court that StrikeForce does not compete with defendants for sales. Brief at 9. The opposite is true; StrikeForce competed head-to-head with Duo several times and lost. Waller Decl. at ¶ 21. For example, StrikeForce and Duo were both competing for sales to the Bechtel company. Id. StrikeForce was attempting to sell its ProtectID® product and Duo was attempting to sell its infringing product. Id. at ¶¶ 20-22. That customer chose Duo’s product over StrikeForce’s. Id. at ¶ 21. Were it not for Duo’s infringing product, StrikeForce very likely would have made that sale since, at the time, only Duo and StrikeForce were being considered. Id.3 StrikeForce later learned that, during the negotiations, Duo cautioned Bechtel to check StrikeForce’s financials before purchasing StrikeForce’s product, and that StrikeForce was essentially out of money. Id. at ¶ 22.

In other words, not only is defendant Duo willfully infringing the ’698 patent, but it uses its strong financial position—a position gained through its infringement—against StrikeForce to undermine StrikeForce’s sales opportunities.

footnote 3
In addition to Bechtel, StrikeForce and Duo directly competed against one another for business from Toyota, Ebay, Google, Intel, among others. Waller Decl. at ¶ 20. Each of those customers chose Duo’s infringing product over StrikeForce’s. Id. at ¶ 22. "
