PLAINTIFF'S MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF THE OPPOSITION TO


INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANTS* MOTION TO DISMISS

Plaintiff, Dr. Bang-er Shia, hereby submits her Memorandum along with affidavit

and exhibits PEX. 1-8, in support of her Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to

Dismiss (^Motiori). Motion was filed to move the Court to dismiss Dr. Shia's Complaint for

Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief can Be Granted, Rule 12(b)(6). As individual

defendants are employed and paid by defendant USPTO while their challenged wrongs

occurred in the line of their respective duty. Rule 12(b)(1) is also discussed herein to provide

a better panoramic view of Defendants' wrongs.

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

Preliminary Statement

Dr. Shia was brutally harassed, threatened, and humiliated for 55 months by

Defendants, who used her patent agent license and her family's privacy as hostages to try to

make heryield to their wrongs. Sherefused to feed herselfinto the big monster; she therefore

had to fight with bare hands and swallowed all the pain. It is notjust a 55-month nightmare

from the white terrorists that made her life miserable; it would last through her life.

This is a case of civil tort to seek judicial relief from the government's

unconstitutional wrongs in the line ofduty of individual officials and officers. The remedy Dr.

Shia seeks could NOT be relieved in a 35 U.S.C. 32 administrative review upon a petition

by a non-employed, disciplined "Respondent", who has no standing in counterclaiming for

injury or loss. In addition, Ex. AA-AD accompanying Shia's Complaint demonstrated the

USPTO official record was tampered by Defendants to close off any 'meaningful'

administrative review, which relies solely on a certified copy of the USPTO record.

Defendants unlawfully deprived Dr. Shia'slegal rightofa patentagent, and the right of a U.S.

domestic representative and correspondent ('U.S. representative') for foreign trademark

applicants, causing irreparable damages to her reputation and professional career, irreparable

loss of time in responding to Defendants over a truckload of documents since 2012, and an

irreparable loss of 55 months free from fear and threats by Defendants' wrongs.

This case originated from the former Commissioner Deborah Cohen's SHOW CAUSE
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 14 Filed 12/09/16 Page 3 of 31 PageID# 1810

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

letter ('SHOW CAUSE*) of January 23, 2012. In a civil rights action, the court should not

finstrate the broad remedial purpose of the statute by narrowly applying the exceptions to the

limitations period. Briley v. State of Cal, 564 F.2d 849, 855 (CA Cal. 1977). It also arises

from Defendants' misuse of disciplinary authority to retaliate against Shia's congressional

inquiries, as cited in her Complaint:

"On September 9, 2013, Dr. Shia sent her first Congressional Inquiry, via
Congressman Blake Farenthold, to the Department of Commerce-USPTO,
questioning her rights of a U.S. representative unduly deprived. In less than two
months, she was retaliated with Complaint D2014-04. Complaint D2014-04 of
November 8, 2013 with a 30-day period was sent out on Friday, afternoon, and
received about two weeks before Thanksgiving, 2013. Complaint D2014-04
successfully stayed a response due from the Department of Commerce-USPTO, as a
response would interfere with a then outstanding Complaint D2014-04. After
Complaint D2014-04 was time-barred by ALJ, Amended Complaint D2014-04
followed, and was coupled with a second OED RFI disciplinary investigation
G2341 ... Compliant D2014-31 was later initiated, followed hyAmended Complaint
thereof. Amended Complaint D2014-04 was consolidated with Amended Complaint
D2014-31 to become Consolidated AmendedComplaints. On October6,2014, at the
hearing, the ALJ granted the OED Director's automatic dropping of Amended
Complaint Comp. ^^27-28.

In particular. Defendants violated Shia's constitutional rights, directlyor indirectly

by noncompliance with the rules, law, and statutes of the United States, for instance, by

misrepresenting, as bases for the challenged wrongs, SHOW CAUSE and the subsequent

EXCLUSION ORDER, both of which fall outside of the 32 statutory purview. The 32

judicial review is incomparable to this civil tort case. 32 provisions provide for review of

PTO Dh'ector's actions only; there is simply no standing for a disciplined"Respondent* to seek

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

a declaratory relief to annul the former Commissioner's SHOW CAUSE, let alone money

damages Shia is entitled to. In accessing a motion to dismiss in terms of a complaint that

alleges the deprivation of constitutional rights, a court should not "inquire whether the

plaintiffswill ultimately prevail, only whether they are entitled to offer evidence to support

their claims" Langford v. City ofAtlantic City, 235 F.3d 845, 847 (3'^^Cir. 2000) quoting,

Nami v. Fauver, 82 F 3d 63, 65 (3*^^^ 1996) (Emphasis added). The matters at issue are not

within the 32 review of a mere PTO Director's final decision; nor could they be what

Congress had intended for a statutory review. They are 'wholly collateral' to the statutory

review, and fall outside of the expertise and the invested authority of USPTO. Additionally,

there has never been an administrative review available for Shia's claims. The 32 review is

solely based on a certified copy of the USPTO record- a record abeady tampered by

Defendants to dead-end any 'meaningful'judicial review.*

Introduction

Dr. Shia is a non-attorney patent agent registered with PTO since 2005. She also

served as a U.S. representative for foreign trademark clients before USPTO since 2006. She

is not employed by USPTO. The matters at issuearise from Shia'sonlineactivities by typing

in foreign applicants' electronic signatures ('E-signatures') based on the corresponding paper

* Exhibits attached to Shia's Complaint are reattached under PEX 1, with EX. AN
replaced with the complete five-volume hearing transcript.

forms she received from her foreign clients, or by re-entering E-signatures removed by TEAS

using a keyboard. The investigation began, by the latest, in January, 2012 and was in charge

by five OED attorneys (one ofthe two in charge of G2081 retired in 2013, and the other, may

also leave), the former USPTO Director, and the former Commissioner Deborah Cohen. On

August 1, 2016, Defendants concluded with two charges against Shia, unauthorized practice

oftrademark law (UPL), and aiding in foreign attorneys' UPL.

The alleged UPL was based, presumably, on an alleged 'forgery' of foreign applicants'

hand-written signatures, contradicts with the fact that the technology ofTEAS has never been

able to accept graphical, picture-like E-signatures, and no evidence existed supporting the

charge. Also, the term "electronic signatures', or 'E-signature' was replaced by Defendants

with 'hand-written' signatures or 'signatures' among a truckload of the USPTO record, as

demonstrated in her Complaint attached with exhibits. Evidence existed of Dr. Shia's legal

authority to bind the foreign trademark applicants before USPTO, in her hearing testimony

and admitted supporting post-hearing documents, which however was suppressed, relocated,

and removed from the admitted evidence in the official USPTO record.

As to the charge of aiding in foreign attorneys' UPL, no evidence ever existed ofthese

foreign attorneys, at all time relevant, being attorneys registered with the State in the U.S.,

and thus subject to the State's regulation of practice of law. Also, no evidence ever existed in

support of Defendants' preempting the State in regulation of practice of law by considering

accessing to the online TEAS or promulgated ready-to-fill forms as the practice of law.

Evidence existed of Defendants' misuse of multiple disciplinary proceedings since

November, 8 2013 to retaliate againsti) Shia's congressional inquires regarding her right of a

U.S. representative unduly deprived, ii) her accidental discovery of file fiuud hidden behind

different signatures of the former Commissioner, and iii) her later discovery of a second OED

stamp appearing on a copy of the SHOW CAUSE in EX. 7 submitted by Defendants.

denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form". TEAS

provides ready-to-fill trademark forms online open to the public, not restricted to attorneys.

The PTO rule regulating electronic signature is provided in 37 C.F.R. 2.193(c), which was

misrepresented by Defendants by missing out 37 C.F.R. 2.193(c)(2). 37 C.F.R.

2.193(c)(2) was indispensably joined with 2.193(c)(1) by the Boolean operator "or". At all

tune relevant, 37 C.F.R. 2.193(c)(2) was insufficiently provided for people to follow, let

alone to violate. As such, there can be no violation of 37 C.F.R. 2.193(c)(2); also, due to the

Boolean connector "or", there can be no violation of 37 C.F.R. 2.193(c), defeating PTO's

truckloads of arguments, if not tampered or re-tampered backto an original.

B, ASmall wearing a mask, threateningfor a cause why Dn Shia *s limbsnot be severed.

On January 23, 2012, SHOW CAUSE was issued in the name of the former

Commissioner Deborah Cohento "Mr. BangShia", mandating any documents in 14 calendars

days in proofof innocence to an alleged a criminal charge of unauthorized practice of law

(UPL) in trademark matters before PTO. Shia submitted her clients' privileged authorization

papers she possessed since 2005 and detailed herjob to prove her innocence.

C. The Small got off the mask and sent illegally obtained documents to his leader,for
the leader to show up holding the documents in hands before the public, like a gentleman.

On November8, 2012, an investigation OED G2081 was mitiated, which included as

evidence against Shia the documents she submitted under coerce to the Commissioner.

D, The gentleman told Dr, Shia whatever shesubmittedproved her limbs becutoff, and
it would be easier ifDr. Shia cut off her own limbsthan havingthe gentleman did it,

Shia responded in OED G2081 file the only settlement she would enter is she was

threatened by OED to withdraw herselffrom a U.S. representative. PEX 1,N8-N9.

E, TheSmall, wearingthe mask back, cut off and hanged Dr. Shia *s limbsin public.

On February 21, 2013, EXCLUSION ORDER was issued in the name of the former

Commissioner Deborah Cohen, which excluded Shia from participating in trademark matters.

The notice of EXCLUSION ORDER was mailed to over 230 Shia's foreign clients during the

two-month petition period, and was published at TSDR till today. Shia's first petition to

EXCLUSION ORDERcertified-mailed on 'March 12,2013' and arrived at PTO on March 15,

2013 was never acknowledged by PTO.

F, After Shia'spetitions were re-filed elextronically andpublished, TSDR was renovated.

On April 10-11, 2013, Shia electronically filed two repeated petitions to

EXCLUSION ORDER using two different trademark applications, which were published

immediately at TSDR. In about two weeks, TSDR was renovated to remove the index "file

No." Trademark files previously assigned with a USPTO file No. were, since then, no longer

accessible at TSDR for publicreview, which endedfile fraud.

G Defendants misused multiple disciplinary proceedings to retaliate Shia*s


Congressional Inquiriessent to Department ofCommerce-USPTO,forcing her toyield.

In September-October, 2013, Shia sent multiple congressional inquiries to the


Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 14 Filed 12/09/16 Page 9 of 31 PageID# 1816

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

Department of Commerce-USPTO, questioning thethree petitions shefiled. Two months later,

on November 8, 2013, Shia was served with a disciplinary Complaint D2014-04, which was

time-barred by the ALJ, later amended, and then coupled with a new disciplinary

investigation OED RFI G2341. A second Complaint D2014-31 followed, which was also

amended, and then coupled with a third disciplinary investigation RFI ofOED G2505.

H, The Big brutally stuffed every opening by which She could get out of the cage,
thereby building up, step bystep, their ownprison.

After thetwo proceedings of D2014-04 and D2014-31 were consolidated, the former

was dropped right before the hearing October 6, 2014. Attorney Catherine Cain for the

Commissioner testified at the hearing if Shia could establish she had the legal authority to

bind her clients, the disciplinary case would fall apart. Shia testified she had the legal

authority to bind the foreign applicants before USPTO and submitted, at the ALJ's order,

her post-hearing documents supporting her hearing testimony, which were admitted into

evidence by the ALJ's court order. Shia's hearing testunony and her supporting documents

were, however, concealed from the official record by Defendants.

Rather, after the hearing, while Dr. Shia was busy preparing her post-hearing brief, a

third OED G2505 was initiated which included her post-hearing documents supporting her

hearing testimony as evidence against her. It was later found Dr. Shia's post-hearing

documents supporting her hearingtestimony were tampered to lose any probative value.

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition toIndividual Defendants* Motion toDismiss

Meanwhile, the response from the Department of Commerce-USPTO to Dr. Shia's

congressional inquiries was successfully stayed by the two complaints ofD2014-04 and -31,

and the two OED RFI G2341 and G2505. To avoid a default judgment against her, Shiahad

always to reply in a short reply period to multiple RFI's and all kinds of motions of the

complaints, a truckload of documents including exhibits published at TSDR since 2006.

L She was advised ifsill askedher severed limbs bestitched back, she would be beheaded.
And, they did behead her in public and in great humiliation.

On August 1, 2016, Shia's patent agent license was revoked by PTO Director's

ORDER DENYING (REQUEST FOR) RECONSIDERATION, published online.

/. Revocation ofPowerofAttorney submitted likesnowflakesfrom Shia*s patent clients.

For each count of Defendants' wrongs, Shia is entitled to money compensation for

irreparable damages to her reputation, and to her professional career. Indeed, there is little use

of her patent agent license when her clients are gone, with or without the adverse final

decision reversed. Her clients witnessed PTO's wrongful accusing the foreign attorneys of

unauthorized practice of trademark law, directly or indirectly, as published by PTO inthe

partially redacted FINAL ORDER, and ORDER DENYING RECONSIDERATION. There

ended Shia's 10-year career built up since 2005, after years of hard work to obtain an M.S.

afterobtaining her Ph.D. This case maybejust the beginning of another 55-month journey, or

till her last breath, to have the matters at issue clarified by all means.

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiff's Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion toDismiss

Standard of Review

There is a strong presumption against dismissal. Cottrell, Ltd. v. Biotrol Int'l, Inc., 191

R3d 1248, 1251 (10^ Cir. 1999). "To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain

sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its

face." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). "A claim has facial plausibility when the

plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the

defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged." Id. at 678. In deciding a motion to dismiss,

the Courtdraws "reasonable inferences in favor ofthe Plaintiff." Ballard v. Bank ofAm., N.A.,

734 F.3d 308, 310 (4th Cir. 2013). A 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim is

'rarely granted.' Myers v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. ofAm., 5 F.Supp 2d 423 (D.Miss. 1998),

citing Clark V. Amoco Prod. Co., 794 F.2d 967,970 (5^ Cir. 1986); Sosa v. Coleman, 646 F.2d

991, 993 (5*^ Cir. 1981). In Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41(1957), the Supreme Court stated

the interplay between Rule 8 (pleading) and Rule 12(b)(6) as follows: "[T] he accepted rule

[is]that a complaint should not be dismissed for failure to state a claim unless it appears

beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set offacts in support ofhis claim which would

entitle him to relief." 355 U.S. at 45-46. The Complaint shall not be dismissed unless "it is

clear that no reliefcould be granted under any set of facts that could be proved consistent

with the allegations." Hishon v. King & Spalding, 467 U.S. 69, 73 (1984). Motion asserts no

factual inadequacy in Shia'sComplaint but seeksdismissal with prejudice.

dismiss in terms of a complaint that alleges the deprivation of constitutional rights, a court

should not "inquire whether the plaintiffs will ultimately prevail, only whether th^ are

entitled tooffer evidence tosupport their claims." Langford v. City ofAtlantic City, 235 F.3d

845, 847 (3"^ Cir. 2000) quoting, Nami v. Fauver, 82 F.3d 63, 65 (3'"^ Cir. 1996) (Emphasis

added) Thus, if a complaint alleges sufficient facts giving rise to a plausible claim for the

deprivation of constitutional rights, the motion must be denied, and Plaintiffs must be given

the opportunity to offer evidence in support of their claims.

A. Claims of Defendants* violation of Shia's Fifth Amendment due process right are
more than sufficiently alleged, and even demonstrated with evidentiary exhibits.

All time relevant, 18U.S. Code 1512(b)(2)(B), and 1519, respectively provided

B. Claims of Defendants' violation of Shia's Fifth Amendment Privilege against


Self-incrimination aremore than sufficiently alleged, anddemonstrated with exhibits.

The Fifth Amendment provides that no person "shall be compelled in any criminal

case to be a witness against himself." This protection safeguarded by the Fifth Amendment

canbe extended to a witness in a civil proceeding, "where the answers might incriminate [the

witness] inftiture criminal proceedings." Lefkowitz v. Turley, 414 U.S. 70, 77(1973). SHOW

CAUSE stated

"The circumstances suggest that you are preparing trademark filings to be submitted
to the USPTO or are otherwise acting on behalf of applicants in connection with the
referenced applications. If so, these actions may constitute the unauthorized practice
of trademark law before the USPTO. See 37 C.F.R. 11.5(b)(2), 11.14; TMEP
608... Therefore, you are hereby provided 14 calendar days to show cause why the
USPTO should not cease use of your contact information for correspondence and
prohibit participation by you as a correspondent or domestic representative in any
trademark cases before USPTO. Any such showing should include evidence for each
case that demonstrated the legitimacy of using your contact information for purposes
ofcorrespondence relatingto trademark matters." Comp. p8.

SHOW CAUSE compelled Dr. Shia to be a witness against herself in defense of an

alleged charge of unauthorized practice of law ('UPL'), a crime regulated by the State. Shia's

answerto SHOW CAUSE might incriminate herself in a ftiture criminal proceeding in Texas

for a criminal charge of UPL. SHOW CAUSE therefore violated Shia's Fifth Amendment

Privilege against self-incrimination because her answer to SHOW CAUSE might incriminate

herself in a ftiture criminal proceeding in Texas. Comp. ^^7-44.

C. Claims of Violation of Shia's Fourth Amendment against unreasonable search and


seizure are more than sufficiently alleged, and demonstrated with evidentiary exhibits.

17
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 14 Filed 12/09/16 Page 18 of 31 PageID# 1825

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion toDismiss

No any U.S. constitutional authority allows a federal government to perform

warrantless searches of non-public records, let alone personal or privileged, or seize them

without a warrant. The Fourth Amendment protects the right of the people to be secure in

their persons, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures. Lack of

probable cause, SHOW CAUSE violated Shia's Fourth Amendment right against

unreasonable search and seizure by threatening her for documents supporting her

authorization from her clients. The illegally obtained documents and information, privileged

to Shia, were later used in the disciplinary investigation OED G2081 as evidence against her.

By falsely entering the unlawfully searched and seized documents and information in the

USPTO official record, Defendants, directlyor indirectly, violated Shia's Fourth Amendment

right of privacy and right against unreasonable search and seizure of Shia's coerced

submission under SHOW CAUSE, and the IP address search results obtained upon serving a

misrepresented subpoena. Comp. ^^95-101.

The essence of the Fourth Amendment against unreasonable search and seizure is

central to the privacy law. Defendantsviolated Shia and her family's privacy protected by the

Fourth Amendment for noncompliance with the Privacy Act 1974 and 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)

by deliberately exposing Shia and her family's personal identifiable information in the IP

address searches results, but redacting the others not associated with Shia. Comp. P. 17; Ex.

AF. Defendants further violated the Fourth Amendment right of Shia, who represented her

foreign clients before the USPTO, and the Fourth Amendment right ofher family member-

for noncompliance with the Privacy Act 1974 and 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6) by publishing online

without redacting her clients' nor her family member's personal identifiable information. Ex.

AT, at footnote 1.

2. Defendants* unconstitutional wrongs entitled Shia money damages, notto berelieved


by a disciplined, non-employed 'Respondent*, who has no standing in counterclaiming
under 35 U.S,C, 32 statutory review.

Dr. Shia is NOT employed by USPTO. Except in this civil tort case, Shia is unable to

receive monetary compensation from Defendants' wrongs as requested in her Complaint.

Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Defendants unlawfully deprived

her right tobe a U.S. representative protected by 15 U.S.C. 1058(f) and 37 C.F.R. 2.161(h),

i) causing ureparable damages to Shia's professional reputation and career smce

March 2013- by publishing at TSDR the notice of Shia's exclusion from participation

in trademark matters before USPTO, and by mailingthe exclusion notice to over 230

Shia's trademark clients; and

ii) ureparable loss of trademark clients and business income associated with herjob of

a U.S. representative for foreign applicants before USPTO.

Defendantsunlawfully deprived, directly or indirectly, Shia's legal right to be a patent

agent protected by 37 C.F.R. 11.6(b), published FINAL ORDER and ORDER DENYING

REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION online, and publicly announced her "not active"

under her name for each patentapplication represented by her since 2005{see PEX. 8),

i) causing irreparable damages to Shia's professional reputation and career,

ii) resultmg in on-going revocation of Power of Attorney submitted likesnowflakes to

USPTO from her patent clients;^ {see PEX. 8),

iii) causing irreparable loss of patent clients and business income associated with her

job as a patent agent;

iv) causing irreparable loss of time she spent in safeguarding her rights over a

truckload of documents, as cited in her Complaint

"In the proceeding D2014-04, there are 90 court documents presented before ALJ,
which were contained in one folder, "B", "Administrative D2014-04". In the
proceeding D2014-31, there are 57 documents. In total, there are 147courtdocuments
in the two proceedings. The one single court document, Complaint D2014-31, had
458 paragraphs in 64 pages to be answered by Dr. Shia withm 30-day. So did
AmendedComplaint D2014-31. After ALJ issuedInitial Decision, the 147 documents
were transmitted to PTO, contained in the PTO official record of "Shia record" under
10 sub-folders of "A" to "J". The 147 documents do not include a third OED RFI
investigation of File G2505." Comp. ^29, and

"While preparing for Appeal to Initial Decision to meet the deadline, she missed out a
lifetime opportunity to be present for her family. She could not go out of the country,
either, because emailing from foreign countries may not be received on time by ALJ...
Initial Decision with a limited 30-days to appeal was emailed only; no paper version
was sent." Comp. pi; and

v) irreparable loss of 55 months free of fear and threats:

' After PTO published Shia's revocation of patent agent license, some of her patent
clients' foreign attorneys were late in their payments past due, including the PTO official fees
which Shia paid already out of her pocket to PTO. Should these reimbursement not received
in the end, they would be added during discovery to the money damages Shia is entitled to.

"She trusted a federal government agency. But, she feltshe was executed by USPTO
with a sward of EXCLUSION ORDER in front of her foreign clients... Six
months later, she filed Congressional Inquiries to the Department of
Commerce-USPTO. In less than two months, she was served with Complaint
D2014-04, followed by Complaint D2014-31, and two more OED RFI investigations,
G2341 and G2505. Would her pain be much lesser, had EXCLUSION ORDER
been a steel sword, which would be a quick and fast one-time pain?" Comp. ^134.

"Dr. Shia was leashed by her patent agent license in the hands of the OED, and
hnprisoned at her residence in an invisible disciplinary cage by OED... They just
pulled her out of that invisible cage by the leash under their unbridled disciplinary
authority, repeatedly interrogated her, intimidated her, and humiliated her and even
her family at the hearing with illegally obtained evidence, and by serving complaints
containing hundreds of questions, overloaded simultaneously with OED RFI
mvestigations, invading her and her family's privacy by searching IP addresses. She
hopelessly witness PTO invading her family's privacy. She did not know when she
could stop living in fear and under threats... It was veiy difficult for her to
understand all the legal documents, let alone responding properly on time... PTO
officers and officials were all attorneys familiar with the administrative law and PTO
rules. She was alone by herself. Her life changed; even her family's life was affected.
If she yields, she is definitely not the first nor the last one who yields. A big evil
would grow to a giant evil to ure more innocent people like her, making her a
part of the giant evil. An unfavorable disciplinary decision would also make her life
impossible to move on, either as a patent agent or in legal education. She had a
memory breakdown at the hearing. She did not remember exactly why she appeared
before the ALJ, except for repeating "They did illegal things. I am innocent." Comp.
P5. (emphasis added)

For the irreparable loss of reputation, clients, income, time, and 55 months free from

fear and threats, Shia is entitled to money damages from Defendants' civil wrongs. As

opposed to a Plaintiffin a civil tort case, in the 32review schema, a disciplined 'Respondent'

has no standing to seek money damages. What is the use of a 'recovered* patent agent

license, when Shia's clients left one by one after PTO published the revocation of her

license? A decision of preclusion would thus close off all review of Defendants' wrongs and

Shia's entitledmoneydamages and equitable reliefof injunction and declaratory relief.

J. Defendants* unconstitutional wrongs entitleShia equitable relief, ^wholly collateral' to


a 32 exclusive review ofthe PTO Director'sfinal decision made beforePTO record only*

The court can even invalidate a USPTO regulation if it is inconsistent with statutory

purpose. Ethicon v. Quigg, 849 F.2d 1422 (Fed. Cir. 1988). The Complaint establishes the

basis to move the Court for an entry of an Order, granting declaratory and injunctive relief,

including but not limited to,

i) declaring invalid the SHOW CAUSE, EXCLUSION ORDER, MEMORANDUM

AND ORDER, INITIAL DECISION, FINAL ORDER, and ORDER DENYING REQUEST

FOR RECONSIDERATION, and

ii) granting injunctive relief by directing USPTO to dispose any documents illegally

obtained, including the submission under coerce by the SHOW CAUSE, and the IP search

results obtained by a falsified subpoena with a made-up civil case; and

iii) constrainmg Defendants from retaliating against Dr. Shiaby all means.

To nullify its own orders and constrain itself from retaliation are outside of PTO's

expertise, not intended by Congress for 32review, and thus are "wholly collateral" to it.

Civil Case: l;16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN PlaintiffsOpposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

In Morrison v. Amway Corp., 323 f.3d 920,925 (11^ Cir. 2003), the Court cautioned

"that the district court should only rely on Rule 12 (b)(1) '[I]f the facts necessary to
sustain jurisdiction do not implicate the merits ofplaintiffs cause ofaction. Garcia, 104
F.3d at 1261 (emphasis added). If a jurisdictional challenge does implicate the merits
of the underlying clam then: [T]he propercourse ofactionfor the district court ... is to
find that jurisdiction exists and deal withthe objection as a direct attack on the merits
of the plaintiffs case.... Judicial economy is best promoted when the existence of a
federal right is directly reached and, where no claun is found to exist, the case is
dismissed on the merits. This refusal to treat indirect attacks on the merits as Rule
12(b)(1) motions provides, moreover, a greater level of protection for the plaintiff who
in truth is facing a challenge to the validity of his claim: the defendant is forced to
proceed under Rule 12(b)(6)... or Rule 56 .... both of which place greatrestrictions on
the district court's discretion.... Id (quoting Williamson v. Tucker, 645 F.2d 404,415-16
(5th Cir.1981)" (emphasis added).

The question of jurisdiction and the merits of an action will normally be considered

intertwined. 35 U.S.C. 32 provided "TheUnited States District Court for the Eastern District

of Virginia under such conditions and upon such proceedings as it by its rules determines,

may review the action of the Director upon the petition of the person so refused recognition

or so suspended or excluded." (emphasis added) 32 provides for a review of the mere

"action of the Director". "Only a decision of the USPTO Director regarding denial of a

petition constitutes a final decision for the purpose of judicial review." 37 C.F.R. 11.2(e).

(emphasis added) A 32 review is thus exclusively restricted to PTO Director's actions,

providing no standing for a disciplined 'Respondent' to take the initiative counterclaiming for

money damages and declaratory relief, for instance, of nullifying EXCLUSION ORDER,

and any subsequent orders that relied thereon.

B. The 32 *meanmgfuV reviewclosed byDefendants* tampering with the official record

The local rule of the Court also specifies that the Court's review under 32 relies solely

on a certified copy the USPTO official record ofthe disciplinary proceedings:

"A person refused recognition to practice or suspended or excludedform practice before


the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO') may seek judicial review of
such action by filing in the Alexandria Division of this Court a petition agamst the
Under Secretary of Commerce of Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO
("Director") within 30 days after the date of the order recording the Director's action.
Service ofthe petition shall be effected in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(i)(2).Within
60 days after service of the sunmions and petition on the U.S. Attorney, the Director
shall respond to the petition and file a certified copy of the record and proceedings
before the USPTO, which shall constitute the sole basis for the Court's review. The
Court may, in its discretion, require briefing and argument prior to making a decision on
the petition." (emphasis added)

As demonstrated by exhibits accompanying her Complaint, reattached herein, the PTO

record of the then outstanding proceeding Amended Complaint D2014-31 was tampered to

nullify admitted evidence in favor of Shia and adverse to PTO. Comp. ^^102-111. As such,

'meaningful' 32 statutory review of Shia's claims was shut down by Defendants by, at least,

the last date of which a petition is be filed for the review, i.e. August 30,2016.

C. Broad structural or systematic constitutional challenges are distinct from 35 U.S,C


32 review and 'wholly collateral* to it,

Shia's Complaint clearly demonstrated with exhibits that in the past 55 months, she had

tried every effort to clarify the matters at issue via every possible channel, starting from her

coerced submission under SHOW CAUSE, three repeated Petitions to EXCLUSION ORDER,

three Congressional Inquiries, numerous responses to three OED RFI investigations G2081,

2341 and 2505, numerous responses to all kinds of motions and Complaint and Amendment

Complaint D2014-04 and Complaint and Amendment Complaint D2014-31, Petition to the

ALJ's INITIAL DECISION, Petitionto FINAL ORDER, and Request for Reconsideration by

the PTO Director. She just suffered to no avail. Did the entity USPTO created under its

organic statute 35 U.S.C. 2exist inthe past 55 months while Defendants' wrongs occurred?

For instance, is USPTO empowered to allow the Commissioner to exercise her

authority under 35 U.S.C. 3(b)(2)(A) to exclude Shia from being a U.S. representative? Is

USPTO empowered to allow the OED to open one investigation after another without

grounds to harass Dr. Shia? Is USPTO empowered to design TEAS to erase an E-signature

and charge Shia with unauthorized practice of law when she recovered her client's

E-signature? Didthe USPTO created under 35 U.S.C. 2 understand what kind of damage

it caused to an innocent person's name, career and life when it excluded Shia from

trademark matters, from patent matters, and hanged her severed limbs and head in

public? Or, what existed when allthewrongs happened is a group of white terrorist wearing

the mask of USPTO at the command of Department of Commerce, where Dr. Shia's

congressional inquiries were sent to? Shia's broad structural or systematic constitutional

challenges to the existence of PTO are what the Supreme Court has held to be collateral to

32 review. Free Enterprise Fund v. PCAOB, 561 US 477 (2010); see also Jarkesy, 804 F.3d.

Civil Case: l;16-cv-10Sl-AJT-MSN PlaintifTs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

D. Subject mattersfall outside ofPTO*s expertise^ not intended by Congressfor 32 review.

The cause of this civil action is deeply rooted in SHOW CAUSE and its subsequent

EXCLUSION ORDER, both of which were issued in the name of the former Commissioner

Deborah Cohen, At all time relevant, the Commissioner for Trademarks had not been

authorized to participate in the 37 C.F.R. 11.22 disciplinary investigation OED RFI, nor in a

35 U.S.C. 32 proceeding of a complaint. As such, Shia's claims for relief, arismg originally

from SHOW CAUSE and EXCLUSION ORDER, such as declaratory relief to nullify the

SHOW CAUSE and EXCLUSION ORDER are distinct from 32 and "wholly collateral" to

the 32 review of the PTO Director's final actions, as illustrated above.

Shia's constitutional challenges arise from the actions Defendants could not take in

the course of the 32 scheme, i.e. overruling SHOW CAUSE and EXCLUSION ORDER,

which is thus 'wholly collateral' to the 32 review Congress had intended it to be; to quash

its own orders are outside of PTO's expertise. Shia's Constitutional claims arising from

SHOW CAUSE and EXCLUSION ORDER are therefore not "of the type Congress intended

to be reviewed within this statutory structure." Thunder Basin, 510 U.S. at 207.

E. Preclusion willforeclose all reviews, the most critical factor in deciding the subject
matterjurisdiction,

"Given the painstaking detail with which" Congress set forth the rules governing the

court of appeals' review of Commission action, " it is discernible that Congress intended to

27
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 14 Filed 12/09/16 Page 28 of 31 PageID# 1835

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

deny [aggrieved respondents] an additional avenue of review in district court." Elgin, 132

S.Ct. at 2134. Shia's unconstitutional charges differ from Elgin where the Court observed

that "petitioners' constitutional claims are the vehicle by which they seek to reverse the

removal decisions, to return to federal employee, and to receive the compensation they would

have earned bur for the adverse employment action." 132 S. Ct. at2139-40; see also Jarkesy,

803F.3dat23.

The constitutional nature of Shia's clauns requires a different result from 32 review.

Here, even ifthe PTO Du-ector's final action is reversed, itdoes not justify the injury and loss

from which Dr. Shiais entitled to seeka relief. A recovered patent agent license would not

bring her clients or business back. Dr. Shia also seeks to nullify SHOW CAUSE and

EXCLUSION ORDER, upon which the INITIAL DECISION and the PTO director's final

decision were based. Since Shia was not employed by PTO, the money damages she seeks in

this civil tortcase cannot be redressed m 32 review. It is also proven the subject matters of

this case are "wholly collateral' to 32 review. In addition, 32 review was foreclosed by

Defendants- the moment Defendantstampered with the USPTO official record.

Congress does not intend to limit jurisdiction if "a finding of preclusion could

foreclose all meanmgflil judicial review". Afinding ofpreclusion would foreclose all judicial

review" of Dr. Shia's claims, which the courtviewed to be the "most critical" factor. Thunder

Basin Coal Co. v. Reich, 510 U.S. 200, 212-213; Bebo, 2015 WL 4998489, at *8. In the case

28
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 14 Filed 12/09/16 Page 29 of 31 PageID# 1836

Civil Case: l:16-cv-1051-AJT-MSN Plaintiffs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion toDismiss

at bar, there is NO "additional" avenue of review. This Court has the subject matter

jurisdiction inthis matter, the only route for review of Shia's claims.

5. Section 2679(b)(l) immunity collapses before the US, Constitution and statutes.

The immunity of "elected officials" (excluding non-elected officers) does not extend

to "a civil action against an employee of the Government which is brought for a violation of

the Constitution of the United States, or which is brought for a violation of a statute of the

United States..." See 2679(b)(2). "Qualified immunity... protects all government officials

except those who violate a 'statutory or constitutional right that was clearly established at the

tune ofthe challenged conduct." Jones vChandrasuwan^ 2016 WL 1697682, at *4 (4**^ Cir.

2016) (published opinion) (quoting Carrol v. Carman, 135 S. Ct. 348, 350 (2014)).

Defendants' wrongs in violation of Shia's constitutional and statutory rights, clearly

established at the time when the wrongs occurred, were demonstrated in Shia'sComplaint,

6. Arguments in Motion are baselessfor lack ofadmissible exhibits in support thereof.

In Silverthome Lumber Co., Inc. v. United States (251 U.S. 385, 1920), the Supreme

Court of the United States took the position the government could not use knowledge that it

had illegally gained by seizure of the original papers "to call upon the owners in a more

regular form to produce them"; that, if it could it would be to reduce the fourth amendment to

a form of words"; and that the essence of a provision forbidding the acquisition of evidence

in a certam way is that not merely evidence so acquired shall not be used before the Court

29
Case 1:16-cv-01051-AJT-MSN Document 14 Filed 12/09/16 Page 30 of 31 PageID# 1837
CivilCase: l:16>cv-1051-AJT-MSN PlaintifTs Opposition to Individual Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

"but it sliall not be used at all." The Court further noted that knowledge gained by the

government's own wrong cannot be used by it in the way proposed. The Court of Appeals for

the First Circuit in Roger v. UnitedStates (97 F.2d 691, Cir, 1938) relying on Silverthome,

interpreted the Silverthome phrase "but that it shall not be used at all" to render invalid a civil

judgment in the procurement of which evidence illegally obtained was used. United States v.

Physic, 175 F.2d 338 (2"*^ Cir. 1949) (evidence suppressed because of illegal search held not

admissible incivil forfeiture suit); Bolger v. Cleary, 293 F.2d 368 (2"*^ Cir. 1961).

Exhibits DEX. A-F are inadmissible. DEX. B (or EXCLUSION ORDER) and DEX. F

(or SHOW CAUSE) violated Shia's constitutional rights. DEX. A (or FINAL ORDER), EDX.

C (or MEMO), DEX. D (or INITL\L DECISION), and DEX. E (or ODER DENYING

RECONSIDERATION) falsely entered, directly or indirectly, unconstitutional SHOW

CAUSE and EXCLUSION ORDER, and coerced information obtained therefrom. Absent

admissible exhibits, facts and arguments in Motion are therefore baseless.

Conclusion

For the foregoing, Shia's affidavit, exhibits attached to Complaint and exhibits attached

herein, and those discussed in her Complaint, the Court should deny the Motionto Dismiss.
