`Patent U.S. 6,441,828

`
`NOTICE OF PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION
`TO SUBMIT ADDITIONAL GROUNDS FOR UNPATENTABILITY
`
`At the April 1 initial conference call, Petitioner Research In Motion
`
`
`
`
`Corporation intends to seek the Board’s authorization to submit additional grounds
`
`for unpatentability. In concurrent litigation styled MobilMedia Ideas, LLC v.
`
`Apple Inc., Case No. 10-cv-258-SLR (D. Del.) (“Apple Litigation”), the District
`
`Court of Delaware granted summary judgment of invalidity of dependent claims 17
`
`and 18 of the ‘828 patent as anticipated by U.S. Patent No. 6,563,535 (“Anderson
`
`‘535”). See Ex. 1007, Mem. Op. at 65-67 (Nov. 8, 2012), submitted herewith. By
`
`definition, invalidated dependent claims 17 and 18 include all of the limitations of
`
`independent claim 6 from which they depend. The invalidity decision from the
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`388883US
`
`Apple Litigation occurred after the filing of the petition for inter partes review in
`
`this proceeding, which was filed on October 12, 2012.
`
`
`
`Petitioner Research In Motion Corporation proposes to add the same
`
`grounds from the decision in the Apple Litigation (i.e., that claims 17 and 18 of the
`
`‘828 patent are invalid as anticipated by Anderson ‘535), to this inter partes
`
`review.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner Research In Motion Corporation requests
`
`authorization to: (i) submit the additional grounds for unpatentability in a
`
`supplemental paper along with the requisite analysis under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.104(b)(4)-(5), or, alternatively, (ii) file a motion to submit supplemental
`
`information under 37 C.F.R. § 42.123(a) to present the additional grounds for
`
`unpatentability. Petitioner respectfully submits that the first option will require the
`
`least adjustment to the schedule, as the Petitioner can submit a supplemental paper
`
`with the additional grounds for unpatentability by April 5, 2012.
