Date: 2026-04-15 Purpose: Close out three PTOL-85B ≠ (74) flags from the KFU-2024 evidence bundle delta pass. Source: USPTO IFW API downloads + visual PDF inspection.
All three flagged applications are RESOLVED — no mismatches exist. The PTOL-85B (Issue Fee Payment / PTO-85B) attorney listing matches the eGrant front page (74) attorney listing in every case. Two of the three were already in our exemplar package (A-3 keystone, A-5 control); the third (19314839) is a post-switchover patent that correctly shows Goldberg.

Signed by: James Lafave (Reg. 71013), dated 2026-01-15 Deposit Account: 14-0112
Both show "Nath, Goldberg & Meyer; Joshua B. Goldberg." This is a post-switchover patent (granted 13 months after the Jan 14-21, 2025 Line 74 switchover). Richard C. Litman's name does not appear anywhere in this prosecution record. The CN=37833 correspondence block shows firm name only (no personal name), consistent with the May 1, 2025 name removal (Finding #107).
This application was filed August 29, 2025 — more than 5 weeks after both lawsuits (state 07/21, federal 07/22/2025). NGM continued filing new KSU patent applications under CN=37833 while being actively sued. Lafave signed the PTOL-85B on January 15, 2026, continuing prosecution post-litigation.

Signed by: James Lafave (Reg. 71013), dated 2022-06-27 Deposit Account: 14-0112
Both show "Nath, Goldberg & Meyer; Richard C. Litman." Every document in the entire prosecution chain — Filing Receipt, NOA, PTOL-85B, Issue Notification, and Patent Grant XML — bears Litman's name. This is the keystone exhibit (Exemplar A-3) demonstrating the complete causal chain from CN=37833 through to the patent front page.
Note: This patent predates the eGrant system; no eGrant PDF exists. Line 74 was verified directly from Patent Grant XML.
Grant Date: May 13, 2025 Filing Date: March 10, 2023 Client: King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre Customer Number: 23557 (Saliwanchik, Lloyd & Eisenschenk — NOT NGM) Docket: BB.480D1
| Document | Date | Correspondence Name | Block 2 / (74) Attorney |

Signed by: David R. Saliwanchik (Reg. 31794), dated April 18, 2025 Deposit Account: 190065
Both show Saliwanchik firm only. Richard C. Litman and NGM appear nowhere in this prosecution record. This is the control patent (Exemplar A-5), intentionally included to demonstrate that patents NOT routed through CN=37833 do NOT bear Litman's or NGM's name. The PTOL-85B ≠ (74) flag was correctly identifying this as different from the KFU/NGM bundle entries — the difference is by design.

Note: eGrant for 18181890 (control) requires a two-step redirect; the existing copy at evidence/ifw_egrant_exemplars/eGrant_12295955_18181890.pdf (1.9 MB) is the authoritative version.
Patent 12,544,982 was filed August 29, 2025 — 39 days after both lawsuits were filed. The application proceeded through examination (NOA 01/13/2026), issue fee payment (01/15/2026, signed by Lafave), and grant (02/10/2026) while litigation was actively pending. This demonstrates NGM's continued patent prosecution operations under CN=37833 throughout the litigation period, with Goldberg now appearing on Line 74 in place of Litman.
Per uncle's recommended workflow: 1. All three IDs closed. No residual PTOL-85B ≠ (74) flags. 2. Delta check can be re-run to confirm zero remaining flags. 3. The 19314839 post-litigation filing is a potential new exhibit for the post-switchover / consciousness-of-wrongdoing narrative.
