`JOINT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION STATEMENT
`
`In accordance with Kansas Patent Local Rule 4.3, the Scheduling Order (Dkt. 48), and this
`
`Court’s Order (Dkt. 70), Plaintiff LoganTree LP (“LoganTree”) and Defendants Garmin
`
`International, Inc. and Garmin USA, Inc. (“Garmin”) submit this Joint Claim Construction
`
`Statement.
`
`Patent Local Rule 4.3(a)
`
`
`
`The parties agree to the construction of the term “interpreting” as recited in Claims 1 and
`
`20 as “analyzing.”
`
`Patent Local Rule 4.3(b)
`
`
`
`LoganTree’s proposed constructions of each disputed terms, together with an identification
`
`of all references from the specification or prosecution history that support that construction, and
`
`an identification of any extrinsic evidence known to LoganTree that it intends to rely upon, are
`
`attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`Garmin’s proposed constructions of each disputed terms, together with an identification of
`
`all references from the specification or prosecution history that support that construction, and an
`
`
`
`Case 6:17-cv-01217-EFM-ADM Document 82 Filed 04/03/20 Page 2 of 22
`
`identification of any extrinsic evidence known to Garmin that it intends to rely upon, are attached
`
`hereto as Exhibit B.
`
`Patent Local Rule 4.3(c)
`
`
`
` Of the terms identified in Exhibits A and B by LoganTree and Garmin, the construction
`
`of “unrestrained movement in any direction” will be the most significant to the resolution of the
`
`case—if Garmin’s argument for that term is adopted, that claim will be found indefinite which will
`
`be case dispositive.
`
`Patent Local Rule 4.3(d)
`
`
`
`The parties anticipate they will need one (1) hour for any Claim Construction Hearing.
`
`Patent Local Rule 4.3(e)
`
`
`
`The parties propose that the Claim Construction Hearing format match the format of the
`
`claim construction briefing: Garmin will present its terms and arguments first, LoganTree will then
`
`respond with its own terms and arguments, and then Garmin would be given a chance to rebut.
`
`Garmin proposes that it be given twenty-five (25) minutes for its opening argument, LoganTree
`
`be given thirty (30) minutes for its response, and Garmin be given five (5) minutes for its rebuttal.
`
`The parties do not believe witnesses will be necessary.

`at 3:25-31
`
`“For example, FIG. 2A shows placement
`of the movement measuring device 12 on
`the upper torso of an individual 18.
`Placement of the device 12 at this location
`will allow monitoring of the flexion and
`extension of the spinal column during a
`lifting activity. Similarly, FIG. 2B shows
`placement of the movement measuring
`device 12 on the waist or hip of an
`individual 18. The movement measuring
`device 12 may be attached via a clip,
`Velcro, its own belt, or any other means
`known in the art. Placement of the device
`12 on the belt as shown will also permit
`monitoring of the individual's movement
`during physical activity. In particular, the
`device 12 can monitor the forward and
`backward bending of the spine as well as
`lateral bending of the spine to aid in
`correct bending and lifting tasks. The
`device 12 is also capable of measuring the
`distance the wearer walks and how fast he

`or other commonly used connector.
`Separating the measurement sensor 13
`from the remaining components 15 in this
`way gives additional flexibility in the use
`of the device 12. The device 12 operates
`in
`the same manner as previously
`described; however, the movement sensor
`13 can be placed anywhere on the
`individual's body. Again, the specific
`application will dictate where
`the
`movement sensor 13 should be placed.
`For example, if a monitored activity
`requires repeated arm movement, the
`sensor 13 may be placed anywhere along
`the individual's arm thereby monitoring
`and recording movement data for the
`arm.” ‘576 Patent at 3:31-62
`
`“Although many accelerometers are
`available on the market, the preferred
`embodiment uses Part No. AD22217
`manufactured by Analog Devices of
`Norwood, Mass. This component is a low

`at 4:48-52
`
`“The Examiner has rejected claims 1, 2,
`4-7, 9-11, 13-17, 21, 23-27 and 29 under
`Section 102(b) as being anticipated by
`U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,375 issued to Stark et
`al. The Examiner states
`that Stark
`"broadly discloses the concept of the
`system and method
`for monitoring
`physical movement of the body part." The
`Examiner apparently misunderstands the
`applicant's invention. Stark describes an
`orthopedic limb immobilization device
`while applicant's invention is designed to
`measure an individual's free movement of
`
`
`
`Case 6:17-cv-01217-EFM-ADM Document 82 Filed 04/03/20 Page 7 of 22
`
`torso. In particular, Stark's
`limb or
`invention is an orthopedic restraining
`device
`used
`to
`immobilize
`and
`rehabilitate
`injured human
`limbs by
`providing
`controlled
`resistance
`to
`movement of
`the
`limb. The device
`monitors the force exerted by the wearer
`via
`the
`injured
`limb
`through stress
`sensing means. And it is this sensed data
`which is monitored and recorded by the
`device.
` The only
`real movement
`measured by Stark's device is the relative
`angular position of
`the "distal end
`sections" of the device (col. 2, line 55-58)
`about an adjustable hinge. Stark does not
`describe a highly portable device used to
`measure torso or limb movement along
`multiple axes, including distance and
`speed of the movement, without any
`restraint to the movement as is taught by
`invention. Thus, Stark's
`applicant's
`disclosure does not anticipate any of the
`claims made by the applicant in the
`present invention.” ‘576 Patent, Original
`Prosecution File History, Amendment &
`Response dated May 4, 1999, initialed by
`Examiner, page 3.
`
`“The Examiner has rejected claims 3, 22,
`28 and 30 under Section 103 as being
`unpatentable over Stark in view of Pratt.
`However, this rejection is ill-founded.
`Pratt, just as with Stark, discloses a device
`which is a "resisting apparatus" (col. 3,
`lines 8-9). This is in direct opposition to
`applicant's device which allows
`the
`wearer to move in any desired direction
`and with any desired speed for purposes
`of monitoring the wearer's movement.
`Thus, while both Stark and Pratt disclose
`devices used to restrain or resist the
`wearer's movement, applicant's device
`does not and in fact could not in order for
`it to be used for its intended purpose. The
`wearer of the applicant's device is not
`restrained in any way, and this is critical
`
`
`
`Case 6:17-cv-01217-EFM-ADM Document 82 Filed 04/03/20 Page 8 of 22
`
`in order to monitor the wearer's natural
`motion for analysis, whether while
`performing physical labor or athletic
`drills. Furthermore, applicant's invention
`measures and records a wide variation of
`movement speeds whereas Pratt simply
`controls the device resistance in order to
`maintain constant speed throughout the
`movement (claim 6). Thus, nothing in
`these two references integrate to form the
`unique and non- obvious aspects claimed
`in claims 3, 22, 28 and 30.” ‘576 Patent,

`Intrinsic Evidence
`
`“In order to prevent incorrect movement
`in hopes of reducing injuries, lost man
`hours, and workmen's compensation
`claims, a device must not only be able to
`record
`the
`frequency of
`improper
`movements, but also monitor the angular
`velocity and general tendencies of the
`wearer with
`regard
`to
`the unsafe
`movement habits. The angular velocity of
`any physical action affects the stretching
`and tautness of the muscle involved in the
`motion. Thus, information on angular
`velocity is important to monitoring and

`“That is, the time stamp described in
`Burdea is related to the updated time at
`which the patient data (allegedly the
`claimed movement data) is updated at
`the database 114. On the other hand, in
`the claimed invention, the time stamp is
`related to the movement time at which
`the movement sensor senses the
`movement…. As such, rather than
`maintaining time stamps with respect to
`the times at which movement data is
`updated in a database (as disclosed by
`Burdea), in the claimed invention, the
`microprocessor (which is included in
`the claimed portable, self-contained
`device) retrieves at least one time
`stamp from the real-time clock and
`associates the retrieved time stamp with
`the received movement data.” ’56

`“Richardson describes reporting a
`cruise control alarm trigger whenever
`the user's locomotor speed goes
`consistently into or consistently out of a
`chosen speed band. Id. at
`30:12-23. However, a POSITA would
`understand that Richardson neither
`teaches nor suggests storing time stamp
`information reflecting a time at which
`the movement data
`causing the first user-defined event
`occurred. EX2001, Figure A4 and ¶¶
`50 and 94. Rather, Richardson, as
`understood by a POSITA, merely places
`a time of every footfall in a step queue,
`with no relation to an event.
`Richardson, based on the evidence in
`the record, calculates average (or
`cumulative) speed or velocity or an
`average heart rate, and then sounds an
`alarm if the average speed is not
`consistently within a band or if the
`average heart rate goes consistently in
`and out of a certain band. See, for
`example, EX1009, 30:1-10. Per Dr.
`Madisetti, the use of the terms
`“average” and “consistently” indicate
`statistical parameters calculated over a
`time horizon, and do not reflect the time
`stamp of the movement data, and
`further there is no evidence in
`Richardson that such an alleged time
`stamp (if one exists, and a POSITA
`would understand one does not) is also
`stored. EX2001, ¶ 95. A POSITA would
`not view the event information as
`having time stamps associated with
`them that reflect the time at which the
`movement data occurred. Id. at Figure

`
`A4 and ¶¶ 50 and 95. As an example, a
`POSITA
`would understand that a running
`average calculation does not indicate
`the time at which a particular data
`sample that was used to calculate it
`occurred. Id. at ¶ 95. LoganTree agrees
`with the Board, at pages 21-22 of the
`Institution Decision, that states:
`Petitioner argues that if a user-defined
`event is the duration of exercise
`activity, then Richardson discloses this
`limitation. See Pet. 67–68. However,
`the user-defined event is based on
`movement data, rather than time alone.
`Petitioner also argues that this
`limitation is satisfied because
`Richardson calculates the time of a
`step’s footfall, and that when a cruise
`control alarm condition is triggered the
`footfall is recorded. Pet. 69 (citing, e.g.,
`Ex. 1009, 29:48–51). Although, every
`footfall is recorded, it is unclear that
`the timestamp would “reflect” the time
`at which the movement data causing the
`event occurred, as recited. We note that
`we interpret claims in this proceeding
`under standard set forth in Phillips. Dr.
`Singer does not provide testimony as to
`whether the “reflecting” limitation
`would be satisfied. Petitioner argues
`that Richardson discloses the
`“reflecting” limitation but does not
`argue that the limitation would have
`been suggested by or otherwise obvious
`over the references beyond express
`disclosure…” IPR2018 - 00564 paper

`“The microprocessor 32 is connected
`to a clock 46 which is used as an
`internal clock for coordinating the
`functioning of the microprocessor 32.
`The clock 46 also serves as a real
`time clock to provide date and time
`information to the microprocessor 32.
`The clock 46 may have its own clock
`battery 48 or may receive power
`directly from power source 38. The
`microprocessor 32 constantly
`monitors the movement data received
`from the movement sensor 30. The
`microprocessor 32 analyzes the
`movement data received from the
`Sensor 30 and, based on its internal
`programming,
`responds to the data. If a recordable
`event occurs, the microprocessor 32
`retrieves the date/time Stamp from the
`clock 46 and records the event
`information along with the date/time
`stamp in memory 50.” ‘576 patent at

`“Lastly, I would like to talk about
`Richardson and the reflecting
`limitation. Richardson's device -- well,
`let me start with Garmin's contention.
`The petitioner puts together pieces for
`Richardson in different moments.
`Basically they say for first event
`information they rely on user speed
`triggering the alarm conditions stored
`in RAM and underlying acceleration
`data related to the detected first user-
`defined event. They rely on the cruise
`control alarm trigger because user

`
`speed was out of the desired range
`along with first timestamp information
`reflecting a time in which the movement
`data causing the first user-defined
`event occurred. In other words, the
`timestamp stored with the acceleration
`sample that triggered the cruise control
`alarm.
`I guess the first point that patent owner
`would like to make is that when the
`cruise control alarm is triggered in
`Richardson, nothing is disclosed in
`Richardson that there is any storing
`going on when that happens. Rather, it
`really talks about sending an alarm.
`Your speed is too low.” IPR2018-
