`
`The Motion to Amend Presents Claims That Are Narrower In
`Scope From The Original Claims
`
`1. Amending The Claims To Add Sufficient Structure to the
`Proposed Claims For Achieving The Recited Function,
`Removes The Element From Being Interpreted According
`To 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶6
`2. Reciting Sufficient Structure For Means Elements Does
`Not Broaden The Claims
`3. Petitioner Has Failed To Show How An Apparatus That
`Infringes Claims 19-23 Would Not Also Have Infringed
`The Original Claims
`
`Exhibit 2012
`
`22
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Argument That There Is No Written Description Support For An
`Apparatus That Combines The Image Processing Block With The
`Microcomputer Is Plainly Incorrect
`
`Madisetti Offers Unrebutted Expert Testimony That (Ex. 2011¶¶
`53-60)
`1. The “second embodiment” in the specification is Fig. 13 and
`14, a decorative photo mount for the image display
`apparatus Dr. Madisetti at ¶ ___)
`2. What Petitioner refers to as the “first embodiment” supports
`Claim 19 in and of itself Dr. Madisetti at ¶ ___)
`3. What Petitioner refers to as the “second embodiment”
`supports Claim 19 in and of itself Dr. Madisetti at ¶ ___)
`4. Nothing in the ‘828 patent specification states that what
`Petitioner describes as “independent” embodiments are
`independent and would be understood as such by a person
`of ordinary skill in the art Dr. Madisetti at ¶ ___)
`
`Exhibit 2012
`
`23
`
`
`
`Claim 19’s recitation of a position sensor does not
`impermissibly broaden Claim 19 (Ex. 2011 ¶¶ 66-77)
`
`1. The specification describes the position detection sensor
`as “an automatic position detector provided with a
`gravity sensor or the like.” (Ex. 1001, 9:33-34 (emphasis
`added).)
`2. Petitioner does not describe any way an apparatus that
`infringes proposed Claim 19 would not also have
`infringed original Claim 6
`
`Exhibit 2012
`
`24
`
`
`
`Proposed Claim 21 Is Not Indefinite and Supported By The
`Specification And Is Not Indefinite (Ex. 2011¶¶ 61-64)
`
`Dr. Madisetti offers unrebutted expert testimony
`1. A person of ordinary skill in the art would understand the
`claim to mean if the expiration time has passed and the
`displaying status has changed, it will remain changed for
`at least an expiration time unless the microcomputer
`receives the detection signal again
`2. Claim 21 does not address what causes the expiration
`and does not need to

`
`
`
`Claim 23 Is Supported By The Specification (Ex. 2011 ¶ 65)

`Dr. Madisetti opined that a person of ordinary skill in the art
`would have understood the “slideshow mode” feature could
`be used with either of Petitioner’s manufactured
`embodiments

`
`1. Mobile Media Presented Declarations From Dr. Vijay
`Madisetti, A Tenured Professor of Electrical and
`Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech University:
`Exs. 2001 and 2011
`2. Petitioner Has Offered No Testimony To Rebut Dr.
`Madisetti

`
`
`
`Mobile Media Has Presented Unrebutted Expert Testimony
`That:
`
`1. Claims 19-22 Are Not Obvious Based On The Anderson
`‘769 Patent (Ex. 1002) In View of Fullam (Ex. 1008),
`Williams (Ex. 1009), and Hirasawa (Ex. 1010)
`
`2. Claims 19-22 Are Not Obvious Over Najasaki (Ex. 1004) In
`View Of Kagle (Ex. 1005), Fullam (Ex. 1008), and Williams
`(Ex. 1009)

`
`
`
`Claims 19-22 Are Not Obvious Based on the Anderson ‘769
`Patent (Ex. 1002) In View Of Fullam (Ex. 1008), Williams (Ex.
`1009), and Hirasawa (Ex. 1010)
`
`1. Petitioner concedes that Anderson ‘769 does not
`describe the recited position sensor having a moving
`element movable in all directions to automatically detect
`which position the image display apparatus is placed and
`recognition sensor
`
`2. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted on this
`point (Ex. 2011 ¶¶ 73-81 (citing Exs. 1002, 2010))
`
`3. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted that the
`Anderson ‘769 patent does not describe a recognition
`sensor that provides a detection signal to said
`microcomputer based on which a displaying status of the
`image displaying means is changed (Ex. 2011 ¶ ¶ 82-85)

`Patent (Ex. 1002) In View Of Fullam (Ex. 1008), Williams (Ex.
`1009), and Hirasawa (Ex. 1010)
`
`1. Petitioner concedes that Anderson ‘769 does not describe the recited
`position sensor having a moving element movable in all directions to
`automatically detect which position the image display apparatus is
`placed and the recognition sensor. (Paper 23 at 13.)
`2. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted on those points (Ex.
`2011 ¶¶ 73-84.)
`3. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted that the Anderson
`‘769 patent does not describe a recognition sensor that provides a
`detection signal to said microcomputer based on which a displaying
`status of the image displaying means is changed (Ex. 2011 ¶ 82)
`4. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted that the Anderson
`‘769 patent does not describe a recognition sensor that (a) emits light
`and (b) detects the light returned from a human body or object (Ex.
`2011 ¶ 83)

`
`Claims 19-22 Are Not Obvious Based on the Anderson ‘769
`Patent (Ex. 1002) In View Of Fullam (Ex. 1008), Williams (Ex.
`1009), and Hirasawa (Ex. 1010) (cont’d)
`
`5. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted that the Anderson
`‘769 patent does not describe that the displaying status remains
`changed at least for an expiration time unless the microcomputer
`receives said detection signal again (Ex. 2011 ¶ 84)
`6. Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted that the Anderson
`‘769 patent does not describe a recognition sensor that detects the
`light returned from a part of the human body at a distance of less than
`20 cm (Ex. 2011 ¶ 85)

`
`Claims 19-22 Are Not Obvious Based on the Anderson ‘769
`Patent (Ex. 1002) In View Of Fullam (Ex. 1008), Williams (Ex.
`1009), and Hirasawa (Ex. 1010)
`Dr. Madisetti’s expert testimony was unrebutted that Fullam (Ex.
`1008), Williams (Ex. 1009), and Hirasawa (Ex. 1010) do not provide
`the teachings missing from the Anderson ‘769 patent:
`1.
`the Fullam conducting ball does not move in all directions; the ball
`rests in one of four possible orientation outputs, first left, first right,
`second right, second left (Ex. 2011 ¶ ¶ 104-120, 80)
`2. Fullam’s sensor is used to determine exposure and focus settings, not
`apparatus orientation (Ex. 2011 ¶¶ 104-120, 181-82)
`3. Fullam also does not describe the recited recognition sensor (Ex. 2011
`¶¶ 104-120, 184-87)
`4. Williams does not describe the recited recognition sensor (Ex. 2011 ¶¶
`104-120, 189-93)
`5. Hirasawa does not describe the sensor position or sensor; it describes
`a dichroic mirror, does not send a detection signal suitable for the
`recited apparatus (Ex. 2011 ¶ ¶ 128-143, 194)
`6. Hirasawa does not describe the position sensor or determining a
`direction in which an image of the image signal is to be displayed (Ex.
`2011 ¶¶ 128-143, 196-201)

`
`Claims 19-22 Are Not Obvious Over Nagasaki (Ex. 1004) In
`View of Kagle (Ex. 1005) Fullam (Ex. 1008), and Williams
`(Ex. 1009)
`The Board determined that Nagasaki does not perform the
`function of determining the direction in which an image of
`the image signal is to be displayed read from a recording
`medium as recited in original Claim 6 (Paper 16 at 22)
`Dr. Madisetti provided unrebutted expert testimony that:
`1. Nagasaki does not describe the recited position sensor
`(Ex. 2011 ¶ ¶ 151-161, 206)
`2. Nagasaki does not describe the recited recognition
`sensor (Ex. 2011 ¶¶ 151-161, 207-210)
`3. Kagle does not describe the position sensor (Ex. 2011 ¶¶
`161-173, 201, 212)

`
`
`
`Claim 23 Is Not Obvious Over The Combination Of The
`Anderson ‘769 Patent, Fullam, Williams, and Flashpoint
`(Ex. 1012)
`Dr. Madisetti offered unrebutted expert testimony (Ex. 2011
`¶¶ 220-227) that:
`1. A person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of would
`not have realized that the Anderson ‘769 patent could
`have been predictably enhanced with the Flashpoint slide
`show feature
`2. Eric C. Anderson, an inventor of Flashpoint, the
`Anderson ‘769 patent, and other patents in this field did
`not come to that realization so easily
`3. Even with that realization, that would not include other
`elements from Claims 19 and 20, which are missing from
`the combinations as discussed previously
