`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT

`

`IPR2013-00016
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Argument
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s March 18, 2013 Scheduling Order (Paper 17),
`
`Petitioner BlackBerry Corporation respectfully requests oral argument, currently
`
`scheduled on October 18, 2013. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, Petitioner specifies
`
`the following issues to be argued:
`
`1. Whether MMI’s motion to amend is non-compliant for failing to
`
`comply with the Board’s Order of May 16, 2013, which states, “MobileMedia must
`
`explain how the proposed substitute claims obviate the grounds of unpatentability
`
`authorized in this trial, and why they are patentable over the prior art of record.”
`
`(Paper 20, 3.)
`
`2. Whether MMI’s motion to amend is non-complaint because it fails to
`
`provide a claim construction, even though the Order of May 16, 2013 states that
`
`MMI “should include a claim construction of the proposed substitute claims.”
`
`(Paper 20, 3.)
`
`3. Whether MMI’s motion to amend is non-compliant with respect to
`
`substitute claims 20-23 because they do not either include or narrow each feature
`
`of the challenged claim being replaced, in violation of 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2).
`
`4. Whether substitute claim 19 is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 2
`
`because (a) the term “means for determining …” still invokes § 112 ¶ 6 and (b) the
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`‘828 patent does not describe an algorithm for performing the claimed function of
`
`“determining …”.
`
`5. Whether substitute claim 19 lacks written-description support in the
`
`specification under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 1.
`
`6. Whether substitute claim 21 is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 2.
`
`7. Whether substitute claim 21 lacks written-description support in the
`
`specification under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 1.
`
`8. Whether substitute claim 23 lacks written-description support in the
`
`specification under 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 1.
`
`9. Whether, in the event that the Board determines that the term “means
`
`for determining …” no longer invokes § 112 ¶ 6, substitute claim 19 impermissibly
`
`enlarges the scope of original claim 6 because (a) claim 19 recites a “position
`
`sensor,” whereas the corresponding structure in claim 6 is a “position detection
`
`switch” or (b) claim 19 does not include structure to perform the function of
`
`“determining a direction … according to [1] a posture … and [2] information on a
`
`direction … read from the recording medium.”
`
`10. Whether substitute claims 19-22 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 103 as obvious over Anderson (Ex. 1002) in view of Fullam (Ex. 1008) and
`
`Williams (Ex.1009).
`
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`
`11. Whether substitute claim 23 is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
`
`obvious over Anderson, Fullam, Williams, and FlashPoint (Ex. 1012).
`
`12. Whether substitute claims 19-22 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 103 as obvious over Nagasaki (Ex. 1004) in view of Kagle (Ex. 1005), Fullam
`
`(Ex. 1008), and Williams (Ex. 1009).
`
`13. Whether substitute claim 23 is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
`
`obvious over Nagasaki in view of Kagle, Fullam, Williams, and FlashPoint (Ex.
`
`1012).
