Re: In the matterof Bang-er Shia


Proceeding No. D20 i4-31

Dear Dr. Shia,

We are in receipt ofyour e-mails sent on June 23,2015, July 7,2015, and today,
regarding the record ofthe proceeding referenced above. As you Icnow, Proceeding No. D2014-
31 was as ofthe issuance ofthe Initial Decision and Order, dated April 22.2015. In
accorfance with its usual practice, after the issuance ofthe Initial Decision this office transferred
all related documents in its possession (to include both originals and copies) to the OED. The
OED keeps the record and transmits it to the USPTO Director ifan appeal is filed.
USPTO regulation 37 C.F.R. 11.55(3) states, "[i]fan appeal is filed, then the OED
Director shall transmit the entire record to the USPTO Director." Pursuant to the regulation it is
the OED Director, not the Office ofHearings and Appeals, which is responsible for transmitting
the record to the USPTO Director.

Ifyou believe there is an issue with the record as transmitted to the USPTO Director by
the OED Director, you may consider raising ihe issue, in writing, with the USPTO Director.
And, because the documents you claim are missing are your own exhibits, you should be able to
provide them to the USPTO Director should the Director need them during her du mvo review of
the record. Moreover, once aparty appeals amatter to the USPTO Director and the files are
transferred out ofthe Office ofHearings and Appeals, our involvement in the matter concludes
as the USPTO Director is tasked with making the final agency decision.

Sincerely,

Hnthia Matos

STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES

Whether the Show Cause letter and the Exclusion Order issued by the

former Commissioner of Trademarks (^^Commissioner") are valid? Whether the

Initial Decisionissued by the Administrative Law Judge ("ALT') is warranted?

DISPUTED FACTS

No evidence of 37 C.F.R. 11.49 existed to justify the PTO's erasing

electronic signatures C^e-signatures") at the Trademark Electronic Application

System ("TEAS"), to justify the alleged violations ofrules in 37 C.F.R. part2, part

10,and part 11, and in Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure ("TMEP"), or

tojustify the procedural compliance with 37 C.F.R. 11.32, and thejurisdiction of

35 U.S.C. 32. Dr. Shia's hearing testimony of the legal authority to bind the

applicants, and her admitted supporting documents, both admitted mto evidence

and material to the case, were missing in the ALJ's FindingsofFact.

DISPUTED POINTS OF LAW

Dr. Shiatestified to have the legal authority to bind the applicants. Neither

case lawnor notices of violations existed to justify the alleged violations. Also, no

evidence existed that the PTO's interpretation can be more than "procedural" by

surpassing the limits on the PTO's statutory authority of 35 U.S.C. 2, or by


preempting the state in theregulation of law inthis disciplinary proceeding.
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 1-2 Filed 08/17/16 Page 55 of 113 PageID# 210

SUMMARY OF ARUGMENT

The rules governing electronic signature ("e-signatures') are 37 C.F.R.


2.193(c). No violation of37 C.F.R. 2.193 (c) can be sustained due to the lack of
information provided under 37 C.F.R. 2.193 (cX2).

Absent notices ofeolation, no evidence existed ofthe alleged violation of


the mles in 37 C.FJR. 2 and TMEP. The AU's application ofthe procedural rules
in 37 CJ.R 2 and TMEP to the alleged misconduct is inconsistent wth 35
U.S.C. 2(bX2XA). Absent supporting case law, noncompliance witii 37 C.FJL
11.1, flie ALJ preempted tiie state in regulating 37 C.F.R. Part 11 by interpreting
Dr. Shia's entering e-signatures as practice oflaw and forgery. The jurisdiction of
35 U.S.C. 2(bXa)0D) is forfeited when it is j^plied inconsistence witii 35 U.S.C.
2(bX2XA) or37 C.F.R. 11.1.

APrtlTMKNT SUPPORTING DISPUTED FACTS

A. Evidence existed to dispute the validity of the Show Cause letter.

Absent a file No., the Show Cause letter was not published at Trademaric

and Document Retrieval ('TSDR") for public review. TVS 627:17- 628:7.

The Show Cause letter coerced Dr. Shia for evidence in proofof herinnocence ina
charge ofUPL. R. Ex. Ci-C->. The Show Cause letter was misrepresented with a
peculiar OED date stamp. TV3 404:4-22. R. Ex. T(f-T^: Gov. Ex.520. G18783.

B. Evidence existed todispate tlie validity ofthe Exclusion Order.

Lade of a file No, Exclusion Order was not published. IVS 627:17- 628:7.
No evidence was presented in the Exclusion Order to support the alleged charge.
The mere statement that"... it may be presumed that you are completing, signing,
and thesc filings yourself..." isinsufficient to sustain the allegation of
UPL. R. Ex. G2. Exclusion Older was also misrepresented with the citation of37
C.F.R. 2.193(cXl) without the presence ofits counterpart (cX2). And, the blue-
ink signature was not believed to be personally signed by the Commissioner.

C. No evidence existed to justify the TEAS's erasing an e-signature.

The TEAS encoded "electroiuc signing" in XML programming as "creating

new (signatures)", which erases an e-signature if the form is not submitted


immediately. TV2 213 1:14; G. Ex. 508.017938,017964. Tanya Amos testified
that the TEAS was "designed" to remove e-signatures. TV2 214:1-9. The ALJ's
niiffgntinn that the TEAS "inadvertently" removed an e-signature was falsified.
Tnitifll rwiisinn. at 20. The OED presented no evidence to justify the TEAS's

<M'fl<iing an e-signature entered. Neither evidence existed to justify the TEAS's

unjustified act in this procee(Ung initiated under 35 U.S.C. (2Xb)(2)(D), which


requires the PTO's action not tobeinconsistent with law. 35 U.S.C. (2Xb)(2).
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 1-2 Filed 08/17/16 Page 57 of 113 PageID# 212

D. No evidence existed ofviolations of rules in 37 C.F.R. 2 and TMEP.

The ALJ alleged that Dr. Shia's typing in e-signatures at the TEAS violated

37 CJJL 2.17(0X1X2), and 2.193(a), (eXl). and TMEP 601, 608.01, and
611.06(d)-(e). Initial Decision, at 9-16. These rules are contained in 37 C.F.R. 2
and TMEP and are made under 35 U.S.C. 2(b)(2)(A) to govern the conduct ofthe
proceedings in registering a trademark. No notice of violation was issued as to e-

signatures entered. TW2 222:6-21, TJ^ 251:4-19; G. Ex. 506-5IS The evidence

shows if examining attorneys do not contact the applicant by iggning an OA to


inquire signer's authority, the signature has been accepted. T\Q 362:3-8. Absent
notices ofviolations ofthese rules, ALJ's allegations were unwammted.

E. 37 CFJt. part10 was replaced by part11 after May 3,2013.

The USPTO Code ofProfessional Responsibility, 37 C.FJI. 10.20-112,


was replaced by part 11,37 C.F.R. 11.101-901, Rules ofProfessional Conduct,
effective May 3,2013. Manual ofPatent Examining PmceHnra at R-308. The AU
erred in applying to the alleged misconduct the expud rules of37 C.F.R. part 10,
whffli the Amended Complamt was filed on July 22,2014. Tnirial iVciemn at 2,16
and 21. No evidence existed as to the applicability of37 C.FJI. part 10, innlnHing
10.23(a). (bX4). (bX5), (cX2)(ii), 10.77(a), and 10.23(b)(6), after May 3,2013.

"A disciplinary proceeding based on conduct engaged in prior to the


effective date of these regulations may be instituted subsequent to such
effective date, if such conduct would continue to justify disciplinary
sanctionsunder the provisionsofthis part."
37CF.R. 11.901.

F. No evidence existed of forging a written signature with a keyboard.

The TEAS is posted online by the PTO. TV2 224:6-7. Dr. Shia could not

sign an applicant's pen-and-ink signature from online ^th a keyboard. Gov. Ex.

506-514. The allegation of forging an applicant's signatures was practically

impossible and was falsified by the TEAS's evidence.Initial Decision, at 17.

G. No evidenceexistedof UPL,including assistinganother's UPL.

All trademark forms are provided online as ready-to-fill-in, not restricted to

attorneys. TVl 53:6-17; R. Ex. S. The fillable paper application, PTO Form 148;
0MB No.0615-0009 is promulgated to tlie public at httD://www.pdffiHerrnm/
189271-1478a-PTO-Form-1478a-Various-Fillable-Forms. R. Ex. 85/689.678. No

evidence of unauthorized practice of law ("UPL") existed showing that Dr. Shia's
entering online e-signatures identical to the pen-and-ink signatures on paper forms
waspracticing law in violation ofthe lawofTexas, whereshe resided in.

37C.F.R. 11.505, Unauthorized Practice of Law, provided

Apractitioner shall not practice law in ajurisdiction in violation oftiie


regulation oftiie legal professi<m in tiiat jurisdiction, or unnthAr
in doing so.

The ALJ's allegations ofDr. Shia assisting anotiier's UPL is unwarranted:


no evidence was presented that the foreign attorneys are licensed practitioners with
the state orthe PTO, which is anecessary element requited of37 C.FJI. 11.505.

H. No evidence existed ofthe alleged misrepresentation or

As detaUed in Respondent's Appeal Brief, tiie AO's cited cases bear no


relevance to the alleged misconduct ofentering e-signatures with akeyboard. Also,
Dr. Shia could not misrepresent any information, which is published online or
within the Icnowledge ofthe PTO. Dr. Shia did not autiiorize anyone to access her
emails: an OA is published online at TSDR whenever it is emailff/f G. Ex. SOfi-

37 C.F.R. 2.193 (c) is tiiat IP addresses in tiie XML data did not correlate witii
tiie same location as where tiie signatoiy was located. 182: 7-22. In feet, as
early as on February 21,2013, tiie Commissioner has stated tiiat
"Moreover, embedded information in tiiese TEAS filings indicates tiiat tiiev

testimony, for fects that he believed to be unmaterial. Initial r>ip.ifiinn at 20, fii 12.

I No evidence existed ofthe OED's compliance with 37 C.F.R. U32.


Under 37 C.F.R. 11,32, ifthe OED Director is ofdie opinion that grounds
exist for discipline under 11.19(b), the OED Director, after complying where
necessary with the pro\dsions of5 U.S.C. 558(c), shall convene a m.ring of a
panel ofthe Committee on Discipline, which shall then determine.! as specified in
11.23(b) whether adisciplinary proceeding shall be instituted. If probable
is determined to exist to bring charges under 11.19(b), the OED Director shall
institute a disciplinary proceeding by filing a complaint under 11.34. No
evidence existed tojustify the OED's procedural compliant'^' of37 C.F.R. 11.32.
J. Evidence regarding 37 C.F.R. 2.193(c)(2) was missing from facts.

10
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 1-2 Filed 08/17/16 Page 64 of 113 PageID# 219

A. The Show Causeletter violated the Fifth Amendment privilege.


nie Fifth Amendment provides that no person "shall be compelled in any
criminal case tobeav^tnessagainsthimself." This protections
witness in acivil proceeding, "where the answers might incriminate [the witness]
in fixture criminal proceedmgs." L^itz v. Tta-ley. 414 U.S. 70, 77 (1973). The
alleged charge mthe Show Cause is UPL, acrime regulated by each ofthe States.
The Show Cause letter compeUed Dr. Shia to be awitness against herself for an
alleged charge ofUPL, where the answermight incriminate her in afiiture crimmal
proceeding in astate, where she resided in. The Show Cause letter therefore
violated Dr. Shia's FifBi Amendment priwlege against self-incrimination for the
answers compelled might incriminate her in afuture criminal state case ofUPL.

B. The Exclusion Order, violated the Fifth Amendment Due Process


Clause and 35 U.S.C. (3)(b)(2)(A), Is Invalid.

The Order deprived Dr. Shia's right to be a domestic


representative or correspondent. The "rootrequirement ofthe Due Process Clause
is that an individual be given an opportunity to be heard before she is derived of
any "gnifiirant property interest. Fuentes v. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67,82 (1972); Boddie
V. Connecticut, 401 U.S. 371,379 (1971); Armstrong v. Manzo, 380 U.S. 545,552
(1965) (the fanHamental requirement of due process is the opportunity to be heard
"at ameaningful time and in ameaningful manner^). The Show Cause letter of
n
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 1-2 Filed 08/17/16 Page 65 of 113 PageID# 220

January 23, 2012, Med to be issued at ameaiui^l time after the e-agnatures
were entered online and submitted to the PTO since 2006; it also failed to be issued
in a manner for Ming to inform the ^plicants of aviolatirai ofPTO
rules, if any, as to the e-signatures. Absent a meaningfid notice issued at a
time, the Exclusion Order violated the Fifth Amendment Due Process
by depriving Dr. Shia's right ofadomestic representative or correspondent.

35 U.S.C. 32 vests the authority ofexcluding any person ftom fiirther


practice with the PTO Director. No evidence shows that adomestic representative
or correspondent shall be able to practice before the PTO. As such, neither the
PTO Director northeCommissioner isauthorized to exclude Dr. Shia from being a
representative. Also, no evidence existed that the Commissioner is
audiorized to interpret her authority under 35 U.S.C. (3Xb)(2XA) to manage the

admimstrative activities of the PTO to include the exclusion of any person fiom

being a representative or correspondent, which even exceeds the PTO


Director's ri^t to exclude under 35 U.S.C. 32. An agency's determination of

the scope of its own authority is not entitled to Chevron deference. Borlem S.A.
Empreedimentos Industriais v. UnitedStates, 913 F.2d 933,937 (Fed. Cir. 1990).

C. No case law supports the aUeged violation of disciplinary rules.

12
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 1-2 Filed 08/17/16 Page 66 of 113 PageID# 221

No evidence ewsted of the alleged violations of 37 C.F.R. 11.804(a),


11.303(aXl), 11-505, 11.701, 11.804(c), 11.804(d). The practice of law is
regulated by each State. The PTO rules ofProfessional Conduct of37 C.F.R. part
n are modeled aftw tiie American Bar Association (ABA) rules of Professional
37 CJ.R. 11.1 provided "Nothing in this part shall be construed to
preempt the authori^ of each State to regulate the practice of law, ..." The
of UPL is Unwarranted: no cases presented intius proceeding shows that

"entering an e-signatures" identical to the pen-and-ink signature constitutes


"practice oflaw" in Texas, where Dr. Shia resides in, and is "in violati<i ofthe
law of Texas". The allegation of Dr. Shia's assisting another's UPL is fiirther
unwarranted. No evidence ^ows that any oneofdie foreign attorneys is a licensed

practitioner, let alone his work constitutes "practice of law" in that state, and "in
violation ofthe law ofthat State". The name ofthe state is not identified.

D. PTO's authority of 35 U.S.C 2(b)(2) must be consistentwith law.

Pursuant to American Inventor's Protection Act of 1999, the PTO may

establi^ regulations, not inconsistent with the law, as provided in 35 U.S.C.

2(bX2). Pub. L. 106-113. But this authority does NOT grant the PTO the authority
to issue "substantive" rules. Merck & Co. Inc., v. Kessler, 80 F.3d 1543, 1549-50

(Fed. Cir. 1996). "Arule is 'substantive' when it 'effect a change inexistmg law or

13

poUcy' which 'affect[s] individual ri^ts and obUgfttions." Animal Legal D^.
Fund, 932 F.2d 927. To comply with 35 U.S.C. 2(bX2XA), aPTO rule must be
procedural", meaning it must "govern the conduct of proceedings in the Office."
Cooper Technology Co. v. Dudas, 536 F.3d 1330,1335-1337 (Fed. Cir. 2008).

The Federal Circuit limited Chevron deference to the PTO intwo different
ways, each relating to its prior hol<fing that the PTO has no "substance rulemaking
power". Id. Wyeth v. Kappos, No. 2009-1120 (Fed. Cir. Jan. 7,2010). Mcrfc &Co.
V. Kessler, 80 F.3d 1543,1550 (Fed. Cir. 1996). ("Because Congress has not vested
the [PTO] Commissioner with any general substantive rulemaking power, the
[rule] at issue ... cannot possibly have the 'force and effect oflaw."). PTO rules
accorded deference must be procedural", related to the "proceedings" of the PTO

ra&w than substantive law. y. The Federal Circuit's precedent was clear that

Chevron deference should be accorded to procedural rules promulgated under 35

U.S.C 2(bXaXA) and section 132(b) of the Patent Act Tafas v. Doll, 559 F.3d.
1345, 1349-50 (Fed. Cir. 2009). Absent evidence of violation of the PTO

procedural rules made under 35 U.S.C 2(b)(aXA), the ALJ's interpretation of


PTO procedural rules tohave an effect on a practitioner's conduct isunwarranted.

E. Jurisdiction of 35 U.S.C. ^)(b)(2)(D) is forfeited when it is applied


inconsistent with 35 U.S.C. (2)(b)(2)(A) or 37 C.F.R. 11.1.

14
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 1-2 Filed 08/17/16 Page 68 of 113 PageID# 223

Ue rules of35 U.S.C. (2)(bX2XA) and (2)(bX2)(D) are exclusive of


each other. To comply with 35 U.S.C. (2XbX2XA). PTO rules must be
"piocedural" to governthe conductofdie proceedings. The ALTs mterpretationof
prorules of37 C.F.R. part 2andTMEP to have an effect on Dr. SWa's conduct is
not consistent with 35 U.S.C. (2XbX2XA). which must forfeit the authority of35
U.S.C. (2)(bX2XD). Also, lade of supporting case law, noncompliant witii 37
CPU. 11.1, tiie ALJ preempted tiie state by interpreting the alleged miscondua
as forgery or UPL in violation of disciplinary rules, which also forfeits tiie

Respondent

ORDER

On June 23,2015, Dr. Bang-er Shia, apro se Respondent in the above-c^tioned matter,
filed arequest to ask that the hearing record be corrected. Respondent asserted that certain
exhibits, identified as "T0-T5" in the record ofthe hearing proceedings, had been omitted fix>m
the official record.

On June 24,2015, the OED Director responded to Respondent's request, noting that
Respondent filed two sets ofexhibits withthe prefix during the hearing proceedmgs for
D2014-31 (exhibits T1-T3 were filed on January 15,2014 and exhibits T0-T5 were filed on
September 22,2014). The OED Director acknowledged the possibility ofconfusion due to the
feet that Respondent filed two different set ofexhibits labeled witli the prefix "T." However, in
advance ofaruling on Respondent's request, the OED Director submitted asecond, corrected
record. The corrected record included both sets of"T* exhibits.

^ Thereafter, on July 7,2015, Respondent filed her Reply Briefas well as another request
toconectlherecoid.

UNITED STATES PATENT ANDTRADEMARK OFFICE


BEFORE THE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE

In the Matter of:


Proceeding No. D2014-31
Bang-erShia,
November 20,2014
Respondent

ORDERDENYING THE OED DIRECTOR'S MOTIONTO STRIKE RESPONDENTS


POST-HEARING EXHIBITS, ANDRESPONDENT'S MOTION TO STRIKE EXHIBIT
A OF AMENDED COMPLAINT AND HEARING TESTIMONY

I. The OED Director's Motion to Strike Respondent's Post-Hearing Exhibits

Atthehearing. Respondent testified that she may be in possession of documents


supporting herassertion that her clients imparted upon her the legal authority to bind them in
matters before theUSPTO. ByOrderfor Documents, issued October 9,2014, theCourt required
Respondent to produce such documents. OnOctober 20,2014, Respondent filed various
documents in response to the Orderfor Documents,

On October 31,2014, the OED Directorfiled an Objection to and Motion to Strike


Respondent's Post-Hearing Exhibits ("Motion to Strike'O. * USPTO regulations governing
disciplinary hearings statethat, **T'he rules of evidence prevailing in courts oflawandequity are
notcontrolling in hearings in disciplinary proceedings. However, thehearing officer shdl
exclude evidencethat is irrelevant, unmaterial, or undulyrepetitious.** 37 C.F.R. 1l.S0(a).

The OED Director's bases for the Motion to Strike Respondent's Post-HearingExhibits
speaks to theweight the Court should afford thedocuments and notto their admissibility.
Therefore, the Courtfinds that such documents are admissible and may be considered by the
Court in reaching its decision regarding theallegations in theAmended Complaint, However, the
Court willconsiderthe parties* positions regarding these exhibits in determining how much
wei^t, ifany,to affordthem. Accordingly, the OED Director's Motion to Strike Respondent *s
Post-HearingExhibitsis DENIED.

II. Respondent's Motion to Strike Trial Exhibit A ofAmended Complaint and

Respondent moves to strike Trial Exhibit A,which is a copy of Amended Complaint


mthis proceeding, as well as various testimony and exhibits entei^ into evidence. The general
basis forRespondent's Motion to Strike TrialExhibit AofAmended Complaint and Hearing
Testimony ("Respondent's Motion to Strike") is thattheAmended Complaint is "inconsistent

*Respondent was afforded tho opportunity torespond tothe Motion to Strike, She did so on November 10,2014.

wilh, ifnot contradictory to, including wthout limitations, the witness* hearing testimony, the
rules oflaw, and exhibits admitted into evidence.**
TheAmended Complaint was enteied into evidence upon motion ofthe Court Upon the
commencement ofthe hearing. Respondent appeared to be very emotional. She stated that the
procee(ting was causing her severe stress, which was resulting mconfusion and memory loss.
To assess whether Respondent was sufiBciently competent to present her case, the Court refened
to the Amended Complaint in this proceeding and asked Respondent aseries ofquestions. The
allegations contamed within, and whether she understood that the allegations contained in the
Amended Complaint formed the basis for the proceeding. After determining Respondent
recognized and understood the allegations in the Amended Complaint, the Court concluded that
Respondent had sufficient ciq)acity to proceed with the hearingpro se. The Court then, sua
sponte, admitted diei^wemferfCowp/a/nrasatrialexhibi^^use it was us^during that
particular line ofquestioning. Its admission as atrial exhibit does not establish that the
contained tfierein have been proven.

With regard to Respondent's claim that portions ofthe hearing testimony and trial
exhibits are contradictory, the Court finds that such argument relates to the wei^t the Court
should assess suchevidence and notto admissibility. Asnoted in the OrderDenying
Respondent's Motion to Sanction Counselfor the OED Director^ dated October 2,2014, "the
parties will draw different mfermces and reach different conclusions fiom the same piece of
evidence... Such disagreements are brought to the Court and resolved by the Judge.**
Therefore, indetermining whether Respondent violated the disciplinary rules, the Court may
consider allthe evidence ^propriately admitted into the record ofthis proceeding. However, as
with Respondent's post-hearing exhibits, the Court vnll consider the parties* positions, and
determine the weight afforded to the testimony and exhibits offered atthe hearing. Accordingly,
Respondent's Motion to Strike Trial Exhibit AofAmended Complaint andHearing Testimony is
DENIED.

So ORDERED,

Alexander Fem^dez ^
Administrative Law Judge

^TheCourt afforded Respondent theopportunity toseek legal counsel, butshedeclined.
