application 29/399,030, granted Oct. 22, 2013 (the '186 patent).
11.
Upon information and belief, the '186 patent claims the ornamental design for a
combined ski face mask and hat, as shown and described in Figures 1,2, and 3 ofthe design
patent, EXHIBIT A.
12.

STAT '186 Invalidity due to Statutory Bar 102(d)
18.
STAT/Phillips both filed for, and received, a Canadian Patent to the same invention
before the U.S. application was ever filed, in violation of 35 U.S.C. 102(d). EXHIBIT E.

Upon information and belief, the '186 patent is statutorily barred by 35 U.S.C.
102(d), should not have been granted, and is invalid and unenforceable on its face since
the related Canadian patent issued before the filing of the application leading to ' 186
patent.
20.
For a patent application to be barred pursuant to the pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(d),
there are four requirements as explained in the USPTO's Manual of Patent Examining
Procedure (incorporated herein where referenced) (MPEP) 2135.01:
1. The foreign application must be filed more than 12 months before the
effective U.S. filing date (modified to six months by 35 U.S.C. 172).

2. The foreign applications must be filed by the same applicant.
3. The foreign patent must be granted before the filing date of the U.S.
Application.
4. The same invention must be involved. [Exhibit F].

21.
Referring to 102(d) Requirement 1, STAT's foreign patent, Canada 136152, issued
from a Canadian application for patent filed morethan six months before the filing of the
application in the U.S.. STAT's Canada filing date of Jul. 2, 2010 is more than 6 months
before STAT's actual U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.
22.
Referring to 102(d)Requirement 2, each of the STAT applications for the U.S.
Patent, and the Canadian Patent disclose the same inventor, Jeffrey Phillips.
23.
Referring to 102(d) Requirement 3, STAT's invention was first patented by the
applicant in a foreign country as Canadian patent 136152 prior to the date ofthe application
for patent in the U.S.. STAT's Canada grant date of Jan. 27, 2011 is before STAT's actual
U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.
24.
Referring to 102(d) Requirement 4, each of the STAT applications for the U.S.
Patent, and the Canadian Patent are directed to the same invention.
25.
35 U.S.C. 102(d) is a statutory bar, therefore STAT cannot establish an earlier
date of invention to overcome the effect of Canada 136152 under 102(d). See In re
Kathawala, 9 F.3d 942, at 946 (Fed. Cir. 1993).
STAT '186 Unenforceability due to False Statement - Foreign Filing

26.
18 U.S.C. 1001 states that "Whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the
executive, legislative, or judicial branch ofthe Government ofthe United States, knowingly
and willfully (1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a
material fact; (2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or
representation; or (3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to
contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry; shall be fined under
this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or
domestic terrorism (as defined in 2331), imprisoned not morethan 8 years, or both. If the
matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110,or 117, or 1591,then the term
of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.
27.
Jeffrey Phillips signed an inventor's declaration in support of U.S. design
application 29/399,030, which application was later granted as U.S. D692186. [Exhibit G].
28.
The Phillips declaration declares under penalty of 18 U.S.C. 1001 "that I do not
know and do not believe that the same invention was first patented or made the subject of
an inventor's certificate that issued in any country foreign to the United States of America
before the filing date of this United States application if the foreign application was filed
by me, or by my legal representatives or assigns, more than twelve months (six months in
the case of design patents) prior to the filing date of this United States application."
(Emphasis added).
29.
The Phillips declaration further declares " that all statements made herein of my
own knowledge are true, and that all statements made on information and belief are
believed to be true; and further that these statements were made with the knowledge that
willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or
both, under 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, and that such willful false
statements may jeopardize the validity of the application or any patent issuing thereon."
30.
A patent is unenforceable if it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the
inventor procured the patent by intentional deception of the patent examiner. Therasense,
Inc. v. Becton Dickenson & Co. 649 F3d 1276 (Fed. Cir. May 25, 2011). Inequitable
conduct must be material and intentional.
31.
Signing of a false affidavit is evidence of materiality. Rohm & Haas Co. v. Crystal
Chem. Co., 722 F2d 1556 (Fed. Cir. 1983).
32.
Upon information and belief, STAT was aware of their own U.S. patent filing Aug.
9, 2011 and nonetheless attempted to make a false claim to priority to the Canadian
application filed July 2, 2010 outside the mandatory 6-month window.
33.
A priority claim to an earlier foreign application must satisfy 35 U.S.C. 119 and
37 C.F.R. 1.55 and 1.63. 35 U.S.C. 119(a) states: "An application for patent for an
invention filed in this country by any person who has . . . previously regularly filed an
application for a patent for the same invention in a foreign country which affords similar
privileges in the case of applications filed in the United States or to citizens of the United
States, or in a WTO member country, shall have the same effect as the same application
would have if filed in this country on the date on which the application for patent for the
same invention was first filed in such foreign country, if the application in this country is
filed within twelve months from the earliest date on which such foreign application was
filed." For design patents, 35 U.S.C. 172 modifies the twelve month time limit imposed
by 35 U.S.C. 119, limiting such period to six months: "The right of priority provided for
by subsections (a) through (d) of section 119 of this title and the time specified in section
102(d) shall be six months in the case of designs " [Emphasis added].
34.
U.S. applicants for patent and anyone associated with the application have an
affirmative duty of candor and good faith, which includes a duty to disclose any and all
information material to patentability. 37 C.F.R. 1.56.
35.
Applicants have a duty to bring to the attention of the Office any material prior art
or other information cited or brought to their attention in any related foreign application.
MPEP 2001.06.
36.
Upon information and belief, STAT did not notify the USPTO or the Examiner that
the Canadian application had matured Jan. 27, 2011 into a registered Canadian patent
136152, even though this was more than 6 months before the U.S. filing date of Aug. 9,
2011. The file history ofthe U.S. patent shows that there was not even a single Information
Disclosure Statement (IDS) filed, which is the mechanism by which the duty owed to the
USPTO is discharged. [EXHIBIT H].
37.
Upon information and belief, STAT's failure to notify the USPTO of the Canadian
patent avoided the consequences of the application for patent being denied as statutorily
barred and rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(d).
38.
Upon information and belief, STAT's failure satisfies the "but for" materiality
required by Therasense - the patent would not have been granted "but for" the inventor's
deception.
39.
Upon information and belief, STAT's Intent is shown by the affirmative signing of
the inventor's declaration on Aug. 30, 2013 whereby the inventor promises not to do
exactly what the inventor did, namely withhold evidence of unpatentability. Intent may be
inferred where a patent applicant knew or should have known that withheld information
would be material o the PTO's consideration of the patent application. Critikon Inc. v.
Becton Dickenson Vascular Access Inc., 43 U.S.P.Q.2d 1666, 1668 (Fed. Cir. 1997).
40.
A holding of inequitable conduct renders all claims of the patent unenforceable.
Kingsdown Med. Consultants Ltd v. Hollister, Inc. 863 F2d 867 (Fed. Cir. 1988).
Inequitable conduct is an equitable defense to patent infringement, and is therefore for the
court to decide, not the jury. Kingsdown at 876.
41.
Upon information and belief, because of STAT/Phillip's false statement, the patent
is required to be held as unenforceable.
STAT '186 Invalidity due to Statutory Bar Admission

in STAT's Trademark Filing
42.
Upon information and belief, STAT's patent is invalid due to Statutory Bars under
35 U.S.C. 102.
43.
35 U.S.C. 102(a), and 102(b) entitled "Novelty; Prior Art" states that: "A person
shall be entitled to a patent unless(a) the invention was known or used by others in this
country, or patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country, before

the invention thereof by the applicant for patent, or (b) the invention was patented or
described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country or in public use or on sale in
this country, more than one year prior to the date of the application for patent in the United
States."
44.
35 U.S.C. 102, Novelty, defines eight statutory bars to patentability. The eight
statutory bars can be interpreted as whether the claimed invention was:

BEFORE THE DA IE OF INVENTION
(1) Known by someone other than the inventor, in the United States, 102(a);
(2) Used by someone other than the inventor, in the United States, 102(a);
(3) Patented by someone other than the inventor, anywhere in the world, 102(a);
(4) Published by someone other than the inventor, anywhere in the world, 102(a);
or was
MORE THAN A YEARBEFORE THE EFFECTIVE FILING DA TE OF U.S.

APPLICATION
(5) Patented by the inventor or anyone else, anywhere in the world, 102(b);
(6) Published by the inventor or anyone else, anywhere in the world, 102(b);
(7) Used by the inventor or anyone else, in the United States, 102(b); or
(8) Sold by the inventor or anyone else, in the United States, 102(b).
45.
The Invention was published in STAT's own trademark application and
constitutes a 102(a) and (b) Statutory Bar against STAT's patent application. In U.S.
Trademark Application Serial Number 85/392,844, STAT submitted a photographic

image of a bearded hat as a trademark specimen. The photographic image of a bearded
hat submitted in STAT's trademark application is the same as or substantially the same as
the invention claimed in D692186.
46.
EXHIBIT I.
STAT filed a Sworn Statement of Use in Commerce to support Stat's Trademark
Application Serial Number 85/392,844, now Trademark Registration 4,128,503.

EXHIBIT J.
47.
STAT alleged a date of first use in commerce "at least as early as Apr. 1, 2010".
EXHIBIT K.
48.
The use or sale of the invention "at least as early as Apr. 1, 2010" is more than a
year before the actual U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011 for the STAT patent application.
49.
STAT's U.S. Trademark Application Serial Number 85/392,844 was filed by
"Phillips, Jeffrey B. " EXHIBIT L

50.
STAT's U.S. Trademark Application Serial Number 85/392,844 lists "Daniel S.
Ward" as the domestic representative. EXHIBIT M.
51.
STAT's Publication, or Use, or Sale, or Offer for Sale as submitted as evidence in
STAT's trademark application is an admission that the invention was published before the
date of invention, or used, sold, or offered for sale more than a year before the U.S. filing
date of Aug. 9,2011.
52.
Because 35 U.S.C. 102(a) and 35 U.S.C. 102(b) are both statutory bars to
patentability, STAT cannot establish an earlier date of invention to overcome the effect of
STAT's Publication, or Use, or Sale, or Offer for Sale under 102(a) and 102(b).
STAT '186 Invalidity due to Tara Duff Prior Art Provided by STAT
53.
STAT provided in co-pending civil lawsuit 3:13-cv-00762 a document entitled
"Tara Duffs internet blog" dated Dec. 27, 2009 (1 year and 8 months before their U.S.
filing date), which shows multiple photographic images of bearded hats for sale by third
party Ms. Tara Duff, and which is in effect an admission and acknowledgement of the
unpatentability and unenforceability of D692186. STAT Discovery Document 000219 in

Civil Action 3:13-cv-00762.
54.
Exhibit N.
The photographic images of bearded hats on Tara Duffs internet blog publication
dated Dec. 27, 2009 are the same as or substantially the same as the invention claimed in
D692186.
55.
Dec. 27, 2009 is more than a year before the filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.
56.
In violation of 35 U.S.C. 102(a) and (b), Tara Duffs Publication, or Use, or Sale,
or Offer for Sale constitutes invalidating prior art and shows that the invention was
published before the date of invention, or used, sold, or offered for sale more than a year
before the U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.
57.
Tara Duffs Publication, or Use, or Sale, or Offer for Saleunder Section 102(a)and 102(b).
10
STAT '186 Unenforceability due to Fraud & False Statement
58.
A patent is unenforceable if it is shown by clear and convincing evidence that the
inventor procured the patent by intentional deception of the patent examiner. Therasense,
Inc. v. Becton Dickenson & Co. 649 F3d 1276 (Fed. Cir. May 25, 2011). Inequitable
conduct must be material and intentional.
59.
U.S. applicants for patent, and anyone associated with the application, have an
affirmative duty of candor and good faith, which includes a duty to disclose any and all
information material to patentability. 37C.F.R. 1.56.
60.
Upon information and belief, STAT, Phillips, and/or Attorney Daniel Ward was
aware of STAT's own U.S. trademark filing and submitted a Statement of Use admitting
to the sale of the invention more than a year before application for patent. EXHIBIT K.
61.
Upon information and belief, STAT and/or Phillips was aware of sales of prior art
products such as Tara Duff et al. EXHIBIT M, and STAT's own sales in 2009. EXHIBITQ.
62.
Upon information and belief, STAT did not notify the USPTO or the Examiner
about either the trademark submission, the Tara Duff sales, or STAT's sales. EXHIBIT N.
63.
Upon informationand belief, STAT's failure to notifythe USPTO of the trademark
submission, the Tara Duff sales, or STAT's own sales, avoided the consequences of the
application for patent being denied as statutorily barred and rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102.
64.
Upon information and belief, STAT's failure satisfies the "but for" materiality
required by Therasense - the patent would not have been granted "but for" the inventor's
deception.
65.
Upon information and belief, STAT's Intent is shown by the affirmative signing of
aninventor's declaration on Aug. 30,2013 whereby the inventor promises notto doexactly
what the inventor did, namely withhold evidence ofunpatentability. Intent may be inferred
where a patent applicant knew or should have known that withheld information would be
material o the PTO's consideration of the patent application. Critikon Inc. v. Becton
Dickenson Vascular Access Inc., 43 U.S.P.Q.2d 1666, 1668 (Fed. Cir. 1997).
11
66.
A holding of inequitable conduct renders all claims of the patent unenforceable.
Kingsdown Med. Consultants Ltd v. Hollister, Inc. 863 F2d 867 (Fed. Cir. 1988.
67.
Upon information and belief, because of STAT/Phillip's fraud on the patent office
and false statement, the patent is required to be held as unenforceable.

69.
The photographic images of bearded hats on Tara Duffs internet blog publication
are the same as or substantially the same as the invention claimed in D692,186.
70.
Publication dates for Jan. 5,2010 (BH 000600), Jan. 7, 2010 (BH 000601), Jan. 15,

2010 (BH 000605) are all more than a year before the filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.
71.
Tara Duffs Publication, or Use, or Sale, or Offer for Sale constitutes invalidating
prior art and shows that the invention was published before the date of invention, or used,
sold, or offered for sale more than a year before the U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011.
72.
Tara Duffs Publication, or Use, or Sale, or Offerfor Sale under Section 102(a)and 102(b).
The STAT U.S. Design Patent is Obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103
12
73.
Regarding patentability of an invention, 35 U.S.C. 103 entitled "Obviousness"
states that: "A patent may not be obtained through the invention is not identically disclosed
or described as set forth in Section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject
matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole
would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary
skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by
the manner in which the invention was made."
74.
To establish primafacie obviousness, all the claim limitations must be taught or
suggested by the prior art. In determiningprimafacie obviousness, the proper standard is

whether the design would have been obvious to a designer of ordinary skill with the
claimed type of article. /// re Nalbandian, 661 F.2d 1214, 211 USPQ 782 (CCPA 1981)
and MPEP 1504.03.
75.
As a whole, a design must be compared with something in existence, and not
something brought into existence by selecting and combining features from prior art
references. /// re Jennings, 182 F.2d 207, 86 USPQ 68 (CCPA 1950) and MPEP 1504.03.
The "something in existence" referred to in Jennings has been defined as "...a reference...
the design characteristics of which are basically the same as the claimed design..." /// re
Rosen, 673 F.2d 388, 391, 213 USPQ 347, 350 (CCPA 1982) and MPEP 1504.03. (the
primaryreference did "...not give the same visual impression..." as the design claimed but
had a "...different overall appearance and aesthetic appeal...")
76.
Upon information and belief, STAT's U.S. D692,186 Patent is obvious in view of
STAT's own Canadian Patent 136152 since STAT's effective U.S. filing date is Aug. 9,
2011, but STAT's Canadian patent 136152 was registered as a patent Jan. 27, 2011 before
their U.S. filing date.
77.
Upon information and belief, STAT's U.S. D692,l 86 Patent is obvious in view of
STAT's British patent 4018784, since the British patent was registered as a patent Mar. 7,
2011 before STAT's U.S. filing date of Aug. 9, 2011. EXHIBIT P.
13
The STAT U.S. Design Patent is Invalid for Functionality
78.
The design patent statute restrictsdesign patents to ornamental designs, and cannot
include functional elements within the scope of protection. LA. Gear v. Thom McAn Shoe
Co. 988 F.2d 1117 (Fed. Cir 1993) and cases discussed therein.
79.
STAT's design ofa detachable beard face mask on a ski hat representsthe sine qua
non of a functionality problem. It has been shown, per the many pieces of prior art listed
herein above, that bearded masks were known over a year prior to the effective filing date
of Plaintiff s Design Patent. Since the sole remaining feature is detachability, which is a
purelyfunctional feature, the design itself is not entitled to protection under a design patent.
BEARD HEAD'S Noninfringement of D692186
80.
Upon information and belief, BEARD HEAD products do not infringe any valid
claim of D692186.
81.
Upon information andbelief, STAT U.S. Design D692186 Figures 1,2 and3 require
the following design features:

MEMORANDUM ORDER
(Granting Plaintiffs Motion to Voluntarily Dismiss)

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff STAT, Ltd.'s ("Plaintiff") Motion
to Voluntarily Dismiss (ECF No. 49), filed on September 8, 2014, whereby Plaintiff
moves to voluntarily dismiss Count One of Plaintiffs Complaint against all defendants,
pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ("Rule 41(a)(2)"). In
light of Defendant's pending motion for summaryjudgment, the Court will consider the
potential prejudice of granting the Plaintiff's Motion for Voluntary Dismissal pursuant to
Rule 41(a)(2). For the reasons set forth herein, the Motion is GRANTED.
Rule 41(a)(2) provides that once the opposing party has filed a summary judgment
motion, "an action may be dismissed at the plaintiffs request only by court order, on
terms that the court considers proper." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(2). Rule 41(a)(2)
"empowers] district courts to exercise discretion over voluntary dismissals." Go
Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 508 F.3d 170, 177 (4th Cir. 2007). The "purpose of
Rule 41(a)(2) is to freely allow voluntary dismissals unless the parties will be unfairly

prejudiced." Davis v. USXCorp., 819 F.2d 1270, 1273 (4th Cir. 1987). "A district court
should grant a Rule 41(a)(2) motion absent plain legal prejudice to the defendant."
Bridge Oil, Ltd. V. Green Pacific A/S, 321 F. App'x 244,245 (4th Cir. 2008).
The Fourth Circuit has identified four general factors this Court will consider in
assessing prejudice: "(1) the opposing party's effort and expense in preparing for trial; (2)
excessive delay or lack of diligence on the part of the movant; (3) insufficient explanation
of the need for a dismissal; and (4) the present stage of the litigation, i.e., whether a
motion for summary judgment is pending." Gross v. Spies, 133 F.3d 914, 1998 WL
8006, at *5 (4th Cir. 1998) (unpublished table decision). But the pendency of a summary
judgment motion or the prospect of subsequent litigation does not constitute plain legal
prejudice of the sort to defeat a Rule 41(a)(2) motion. Bridge Oil, 321 F. App'x at 245.
Considering these factors, granting Plaintiffs motion will not unfairly prejudice
the Defendant. Proceedings in the case have been stayed to facilitate settlement
discussions (ECF No. 48). When negotiations proved futile, Plaintiff punctually filed its
motion to voluntarily dismiss Count One of the Complaint and has presented a reasonable
explanation as to the need for dismissal. Specifically, Plaintiffexplains that dismissal will
streamline this litigation and will not harm the remaining trademark infringement or
cybersquatting claims of the Defendant (ECF No. 50). By Order (ECF No. 41) the Court
stayed all proceedings, discovery, and deadlines pursuant to the parties' Joint Motion
(ECF No. 40).
While the Court has now partially lifted the stay (ECF No. 46) to allow the
Defendants to file a motion for summary judgment, such a limited advance of this case

does not constitute the plain legal prejudice envisioned by the Fourth Circuit when
balanced against the opposing party's effort and expense in preparing for trial.
Moreover, as the Fourth Circuit has explained, merely filing a motion for summary
judgment is not enough to establish unfair prejudice. Most importantly, this Court by
Order (ECF No. 43) granted Defendant's motion to voluntarily dismiss its Antitrust
counterclaim against Plaintiff after Plaintiff fully briefed its 12(b)(6) motion (ECF No.
15). There is simply no basis for finding that Defendant will be unfairly prejudiced by
granting the Plaintiffs motion to voluntarily dismiss its patent infringement claim.
Accordingly, Count One of Plaintiffs Complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE; Defendant's motion for summary judgment is denied as MOOT regarding
only Count One of Plaintiffs Complaint. Any other claims discussed therein shall be
developed and fully briefed in accordance with the Order (ECF No. 53) of this Court.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Memorandum Order to all counsel
of record.
It is so ORDERED.
