Quinn Emanuel, another fabulous law firm, has joined the team representing Barnes & Noble before the ITC. And Google is in the mix too, filing an objection to Microsoft's request for a shortened time for Google to respond to its motion. This is getting good. Barnes & Noble has filed a truly hilarious compilation of prior art, in a supplemental notice of prior art, which shows me that it's still not too late to keep finding more, if you happen to know of any. And it has asked for a letter rogatory to go after evidence regarding MOSAID, a Canadian firm, and its deal with Microsoft and Nokia via documents and a deposition of the CEO. MOSAID doesn't wish to voluntarily turn over anything.
A letter rogatory is a kind of international subpoena, since US courts only can only make demands on US entities. So letters rogatory is what they call that type of subpoena. It's not a demand, though, but rather a request. That's what rogatory means. Here's the US State Department's explanation of what they are and how the process works:Letters rogatory are requests from courts in one country to the judiciary of a foreign country requesting the performance of an act which, if done without the sanction of the foreign court, could constitute a violation of that country's sovereignty. And here's the information specific to Canada. Because rogatory means request, not demand, only time will tell if the District Court will respond favorably and, if it does, whether the Canadian court will agree to the request. Barnes & Noble is clearly as serious as a heart attack, though, and if this doesn't work, it won't be because it didn't have all the support it needs or failed to try everything you'd want them to try.

Barnes & Noble's (1) Motion for Recommendation to the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia to Issue a Letter Rogatory for
Evidence from MOSAID Technologies Inc. and (2) Request to Shorten
Microsoft Corp.'s and the Staff's Time to Respond
The last filing on the list is the motion asking the ITC to recommend to the US District Court handling Microsoft's patent infringement complaint against Barnes & Noble that it issue a letter rogatory. Attached in the same document is the memorandum of law explaining Barnes & Noble's position, and that's also where you can learn why it wants what it wants. MOSAID has a US subsidiary, but when Barnes & Noble sent a subpoena, here is what happened:
Barnes & Noble seeks documents and deposition testimony from MOSAID Technologies Incorporated (“MOSAID”), a patent licensing company, to be used at trial to defend against the allegations made in Microsoft’s complaint in this proceeding. Specifically, as part of Barnes & Noble’s affirmative defense of patent misuse, Barnes & Noble seeks the evidence requested in order to prove that Microsoft is improperly expanding the scope of its patents in an attempt to dominate mobile operating systems such as the AndroidTM Operating System (“Android”) that threaten Microsoft’s monopoly in personal computer operating systems. On information and belief, to further that strategy, Microsoft and Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”) and MOSAID recently entered into a series of agreements transferring approximately 2,000 Nokia patents to MOSAID in exchange for MOSAID’s efforts to license those patents (or sue those that do not take a license) and promise to pay approximately two-thirds of any royalties back to Microsoft and Nokia. Microsoft had previously entered into partnership agreements with Nokia, whereby one of the stated motivations for this partnership was to combine the parties’ respective patent portfolios and to coordinate their offensive use of patents to drive out open source operating systems, including Android specifically. Such conduct constitutes patent misuse, which renders the patents at issue unenforceable.
On October 20, 2011, the Commission granted Barnes & Noble’s application for issuance of a subpoena duces tecum and subpoena ad testificandum requiring MOSAID’s United States subsidiary (MOSAID Corp. Ltd.) to produce documents and submit to a corporate deposition about the topics described in the Letter Rogatory, among others. In an e-mail with Barnes & Noble’s counsel on November 7, 2011, MOSAID Corp. Ltd.’s counsel stated that, “the transactions for which Barnes & Noble seeks related documents and information from MOSAID involved MOSAID’s parent company, MOSAID Technologies Incorporated, not the US subsidiary,” and that MOSAID would not voluntarily produce the requested documents but rather must be served with a separate international subpoena. On November 8, MOSAID moved to quash and/or limit Barnes & Noble’s subpoenas, arguing, in part, that the subject transactions involved only the parent company and not the U.S. subsidiary and that Barnes & Noble was improperly attempting to obtain “documents and information in the possession of MOSAID’s foreign parent company” from MOSAID’s U.S. subsidiary.
Accordingly, Barnes & Noble respectfully requests that the Administrative Law Judge grant Barnes & Noble’s application and recommend that the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issue Barnes & Noble’s Letter Rogatory to the appropriate judicial authority in Canada for international judicial assistance pursuant to Section 43 of the Canada Evidence Act or Section 60 of the Evidence Act of Ontario.
So MOSAID, the US sub, said, "Wrong doorbell. It's the Canadian parent company that is involved in this matter, and we, and they, won't turn over anything without an international subpoena." To which Barnes & Noble's reaction is to petition the ITC to recommend that the US District Court of Columbia issue one.
That's how Cravath rolls. They are always very polite, but they surely never back off. If you think they will drop a stitch if you make it harder, forgeddaboutit. Of course, the Canadian court can say no, and here's a case where an Ontario, Canadian court did refuse such a request, with the ruling explaining what bases you have to touch to hit a home run. Along with documents, "Barnes & Noble seeks testimony from John Lindgren, the Chief Executive Officer of MOSAID." By the way, a footnote links to Lindgren on YouTube, if you'd like to see him in action. There are several MOSAID videos there, essentially aimed at investors, I think. It's a bit chilling to watch all the MOSAID videos, I must say. As I was doing so, I was thinking to myself, This is why nobody saw the dangers of outsourcing all the jobs from the US. They thought they'd make their money on intangibles like patents. And so far, this Canadian company certainly is. The rest of the MOSAID top team is in this video, talking about how they make money. It was uploaded in July, and it mentions that they have a new office in Texas. Of course. Texas. The first video mentions that discussions with Microsoft and Nokia began in March, and in this 3rd quarter financials video, Lindgren talks more about all that. It was uploaded in March of 2011, and he mentions their "new" subsidiary in Texas, so it existed in March, evidently, when discussions began. Here's
a handy video where a Canadian patent lawyer, Jason Witten, explains how US courts figure out how to calculate patent damages. He seems a pleasant chap. Toward the end, he explains apportionment versus "entire market value rule", and it will help you understand why Barnes & Noble is pointing out that the patents are not worth what Microsoft is demanding in royalties. Witten points out that many juries don't know how to figure out software and other tech value, so they've been finding for plaintiffs around 90% of the time and awarding ridiculous damages, whereas judges find for plaintiffs less than 50% of the time. If a mobile vendor had to pay full market value to all the holders of patents on mobile technology, he says, your cell phone would cost thousands of dollars. Thanks, USPTO. He mentions a trend now to bring awards down to more real-life values, as a result, and he mentions the IP Innovation v. Red Hat case as an example of that trend. You can find the ruling (with the jury finding all three asserted patents invalid) here, and all the transcripts of that trial here on Groklaw, if you wish to follow up, as Witten suggests.
Here's a MOSAID video that talks about getting the 2,000 Nokia patents, described as mainly (1200 of the 2,000) "wireless standards essential", meaning you can't be standards compliant without them, I gather, or at least that's what I understood from listening to all the MOSAID executives victoriously crowing about all the money they think they can make. The video was uploaded in September of 2011.
If sharks could drool, this is what they'd look like.
This is all about Barnes & Noble's affirmative defense of patent misuse, which it is accusing Microsoft of doing:
As part of that affirmative defense, Barnes & Noble has alleged that Microsoft is using its licensing practices to improperly broaden the scope of its patents in an attempt to dominate mobile operating systems such as Android that threaten Microsoft’s monopoly in personal computer (“PC”) operating systems.
In the latest of a series of tactics designed to further that strategy, Microsoft recently entered into an agreement with Nokia Corporation (“Nokia”) and MOSAID to share in royalties derived from licensing (or suing those that do not take a license) approximately 2,000 Nokia patents acquired by MOSAID. On September 1, 2011, MOSAID acquired Core Wireless Licensing S.a.r.l. (“Core Wireless”), a company which holds a portfolio of 400 patent families, consisting of 2,000 wireless patents and patent applications originally filed by Nokia. Nokia had previously assigned its patents to a trust, which then assigned the patents to Core Wireless. Microsoft secured a license in the Nokia patents acquired by MOSAID. The arrangement effectively gives Microsoft greater power to assert patents against rival technologies.
The parties have not been shy about the power afforded to them under the deal. In the words of John Lindgren, CEO of MOSAID, “the force of [its newly acquired patent portfolio] is overwhelming,” and MOSAID is targeting “over a trillion dollars of unlicensed revenues” from mobile devices over the next 10 years of sales.2 MOSAID’s Vice President has stated that, “all cell phones and smartphones operating in compliance with certain 2G, 3G and 4G wireless telecommunications standards” practice the patents.3 Moreover, because MOSAID is a nonpracticing entity, the usual threat of counter litigation will have no deterrent effect on its aggressive licensing plans—an added benefit for Microsoft.
Barnes & Noble believes that the MOSAID deal is a key element of Microsoft’s horizontal partnership with Nokia, which was announced earlier this year, and included an agreement by Nokia to replace its current operating system with the Windows Phone operating system. One of the publicly stated motivations for the Microsoft-Nokia partnership was to combine the parties’ respective patent portfolios and to coordinate their offensive use of patents directed at open source operating systems, including Android specifically.4 Microsoft’s new deal with MOSAID—which began negotiations around the time the Microsoft-Nokia partnership was announced—appears to be the mechanism by which Microsoft and Nokia will use Nokia’s patents to attack Android devices that threaten Microsoft’s monopoly.5
The MOSAID deal bears directly on Barnes & Noble’s patent misuse defense. Barnes & Noble has alleged that Microsoft is engaging in an improper, industry-wide licensing campaign to eliminate threats to Microsoft’s operating systems business, and Microsoft’s patent agreement with MOSAID appears to be part of that strategy. To develop these facts further, Barnes & Noble seeks testimony and documents about MOSAID’s business arrangement with Microsoft and Nokia, as well as the connection between Microsoft’s demand that Barnes & Noble enter into a licensing agreement to use the Android Operating System and its coordinated intellectual property strategy with MOSAID and Nokia.
Barnes & Noble has made several efforts to obtain this discovery without burdening the judicial authorities of other jurisdictions. On October 20, 2011, the Commission granted Barnes & Noble’s application for issuance of a subpoena duces tecum and subpoena ad testificandum requiring MOSAID’s United States subsidiary (MOSAID Corp. Ltd.) to produce documents and submit to a corporate deposition about the topics described in the Letter Rogatory, among others. In an e-mail with Barnes & Noble’s counsel on November 7, 2011 (see Declaration of Stuart W. Gold, Exh. A), MOSAID Corp. Ltd.’s counsel stated that, “the transactions for which Barnes & Noble seeks related documents and information from MOSAID involved MOSAID’s parent company, MOSAID Technologies Incorporated, not the US subsidiary,” and that MOSAID would not voluntarily produce the requested documents but rather must be served with a separate international subpoena. On November 8, MOSAID moved to quash and/or limit Barnes & Noble’s subpoenas, arguing, in part, that the subject transactions involved only the parent company and not the U.S. subsidiary and that Barnes & Noble was improperly attempting to obtain “documents and information in the possession of MOSAID’s foreign parent company” from MOSAID’s U.S. subsidiary.
Hence, this motion for a recommendation that the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issue a letter rogatory is required.

4 On February 13, 2011, two days after Nokia and Microsoft announced their strategic agreement, Stephen Elop, Nokia’s CEO, engaged in a videotaped question and answer session after delivering his keynote address at the Mobile World Congress. In response to a question about Nokia’s pending litigation against Apple’s iOS, Mr. Elop stated that:
It is the case, and was absolutely a topic of discussion with Microsoft, that Microsoft plus Nokia, has a remarkably strong intellectual property portfolio. That is something we will use appropriately within the context of our ecosystem, which means both defending the ecosystem from outside attacks, as well as appropriately ensuring that the value that we’ve created through our patents are properly collected from other people who may choose to take advantage of that technology.
“Conversations by Nokia: Q&A videos, break down”, http://www.conversations.nokia.com/2011/
02/22/qa-videos-break-down (last visited Nov. 15, 2011). Mr. Elop further stated that the “[n]umber one priority is to compete with Android which is why as part of the transaction that we intend to enter into with Microsoft . . . , we are contributing assets to the ecosystem from which our competitors will develop competitive advantage against Android.” Id.
5 Indeed, MOSAID’s CEO has stated that litigation is “highly likely” against potential licensees who fight the portfolio before being “convinced to pay the sums that [MOSAID] will be asking for.” Interview, “John Lindgren, CEO of MOSAID talks magnitude of Nokia / Microsoft deal”, supra note 2.
You'll also enjoy the list of supplemental prior art [PDF], which is old stuff like Netscape and Mosaic. The GNU Emacs Manual. Publications written by Microsoft itself. It begins on page 2 and runs on and on and on until page 45. I'm not kidding. I think you could conclude that Barnes & Noble doesn't think much of Microsoft's patents. If anyone has time to do the list as text, I'll happily post it.
But, as you may have noticed, the whole patent system is tilted toward plaintiffs, even when all they have in their cynical hands are stupid patents, and that is precisely what is so wrong about the patent system that a very heroic Barnes & Noble is trying to survive. Like going down a white river. Some people love doing that, of course, riding the rapids. They call them litigators, and Barnes & Noble has some of the best in the country guiding them.
Update: Here's the supplemental prior art filing, as text:
