`
`
`PETITIONERS’ NOTICE IN RESPONSE TO
`IDENTIFICATION OF DEFECT
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00015
`Patent 6,384,850
`
`Further to the Board’s Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition and Time
`
`for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response (Paper No. 4), which identified a
`
`defect in the petition filed on October 15, 2013 (Paper No. 1), Petitioners hereby
`
`submit this Notice in response, which is intended to correct the identified defect.
`
`The Board’s Notice stated that the petition failed to provide a statement
`
`under 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(3) identifying how the challenged claims are to be
`
`construed. It is assumed that the Board intended to reference 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.304(b)(3), which relates to petitions for Covered Business Method Review,
`
`rather than 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(3), which relates to petitions for Inter Partes
`
`Review.
`
`In response, Petitioners note that pages 38-40 of the petition contain a
`
`section entitled “Claim Construction (37 C.F.R. § 42.304(b)(3)),” which was
`
`intended to provide the statement required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.304(b)(3). In that
`
`section, as allowed by the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, petitioners provided
`
`a “simple statement” that the claim terms of U.S. Patent No. 6,384,850 (“’850
`
`Patent”) should be given their broadest reasonable interpretation (BRI) for the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`-1-
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00015
`Patent 6,384,850
`
`purposes of this proceeding (but for the purposes of this proceeding only1). See
`
`Exhibit 1030, p. 48764. Petitioners further stated that for each claim term in the
`
`’850 Patent, the BRI is the ordinary and customary meaning of the term.
`
`To the extent the Board would like additional clarification regarding the
`
`ordinary and customary meaning of certain key terms in the challenged claims,
`
`Petitioners provide that information in the below table for insertion into section
`
`“Claim Construction (37 C.F.R. § 42.304(b)(3))” of the original petition, at page
`
`40, line 3:
`
`
`
`
`
`1 As noted in the petition, Petitioners advocate the broadest reasonable
`
`interpretation (BRI) for the claim terms of the ’850 Patent for the purposes of this
`
`CBM review only. Claim construction is analyzed under a different legal standard
`
`for the purposes of litigation. See, e.g., In re Trans Texas Holdings Corp., 498
`
`F.3d 1290, 1298-99 (Fed. Cir. 2007). As such, Petitioners reserve the right to
`
`advance different claim constructions in connection with litigation in federal court,
`
`including in connection with the currently pending litigation identified in the
`
`petition.
