`
`DECLARATION OF RICHARD ELLIS
`
`I, Richard Ellis, hereby declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am currently an independent contractor, specializing in embedded system
`
`programming and system administration.
`
`2.
`
`I held various positions over the years for the Patent Owner, Universal

`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 1
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`4.
`
`I am a joint inventor of the claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,587,067 (the “’067
`
`patent”).
`
`5.
`
`The documents attached hereto as Exhibits A-T were prepared by us or
`
`under our direct supervision. All work and associated writings were carried out in
`
`the United States.
`
`6.
`
`In 1986, I, with the help of others, conceived of a universal remote control
`
`for operating controlled devices such as television sets, VCRs, cable converters,
`
`etc. In the beginning of the development of the universal remote control disclosed
`
`and claimed in the ‘067 patent, our company was named Protostar Electronics, and
`
`the remote control was referred to as the Homer, or HCU, and was later named
`
`UNiWAND.
`
`7.
`
`For the purposes of the ‘067 patent, the HCU included two key features: (1)
`
`the capability for “direct entry” matching of a universal remote control to a
`
`plurality of different home appliances of different manufacturers; and (2) the
`
`capability for assigning a command macro to a macro pushbutton.
`
`8.
`
`First, in the 1986 time frame, there existed certain universal remote controls
`
`known as “learners.” Those learner remotes necessarily needed to be “taught” the
`
`infrared (IR) of the OEM remote it was intended to replace. This typically
`
`involved setting the remote into a “learning” mode in which the end-user would
`
`use the OEM remote to transmit an IR command to a IR receiver located on the
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 2
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`learner remote. The received command would then be assigned to a specific
`
`button on the learner remote. The end-user would then repeat this process for each
`
`separate IR command on the OEM remote. Needless to say, that process was
`
`extremely tedious and prone to user error. Accordingly, we devised the direct
`
`entry technique of matching a universal remote control to a plurality of different
`
`home appliances. Under that technique, the HCU would come pre-loaded with a
`
`library of known codes and data for certain home appliances. The codes and data
`
`for each separate appliance would be assigned a unique identification code which,
`
`when entered into the HCU via its pushbuttons, would cause the HCU to be
`
`matched to that corresponding appliance.
`
`9.
`
`Second, also in the 1986 time frame, the proliferation of the Video Cassette
`
`Recorder (VCR) had begun. At the time, in order to play a movie on the VCR, a
`
`user would typically need to turn the TV on, tune it to channel 3, turn the VCR on,
`
`and activate the VCR’s “Play” function. Our technique made it possible to
`
`transmit the sequence of operating commands needed to perform all of the
`
`foregoing steps with the push of a single button. We referred to these command
`
`sequences as either “macros” or “DO commands.” These macros could either be
`
`preprogrammed or manually programmed via the HCU’s keypad.
`
`10.
`
`Specifically, the universal remote control that I, with the help of others,
`
`conceived of in 1986 included a keyboard having a plurality of pushbuttons
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 3
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`including a macro pushbutton and a library of codes and data for use in
`
`transmitting operating commands to a plurality of different home appliances of
`
`different manufacturers. The universal remote control included a computer
`
`readable medium having instructions for, or was otherwise capable of, performing
`
`the steps of: (a) matching the universal remote control to the plurality of different
`
`home appliances of different manufacturers such that selected codes and data from
`
`the library are used to transmit operating commands to the matched home
`
`appliances in response to activation of selected pushbuttons of the keyboard, the
`
`pushbuttons of the keyboard being activated to directly identify each of the
`
`plurality of different home appliances of different manufacturers to which the
`
`universal remote control is to be matched; and (b) assigning to the macro
`
`pushbutton a subset of the selected codes and data from the library whereafter
`
`activation of the macro pushbutton causes the universal remote control to use the
`
`subset of selected codes and data from the library to transmit a plurality of
`
`operating commands to one or more of the matched home appliances. (See Claims
`
`1 and 4 of the ‘067 patent.)
`
`11.
`
`Put differently, the universal remote control included a computer readable
`
`medium having instructions for, or was otherwise capable of, performing the steps
`
`of: (a) matching the universal remote control to a plurality of different home
`
`appliances of different manufacturers such that selected codes and data from the
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 4
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`library are used to transmit operating commands to the matched home appliances
`
`in response to activation of selected pushbuttons of the keyboard; (b) using
`
`activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to match the universal
`
`remote control to the plurality of different home appliances of different
`
`manufacturers; and (c) using activation of one or more of the pushbuttons of the
`
`keyboard to directly identify each of the plurality of different home appliances of
`
`different manufacturers to which the universal remote control is to be matched.
`
`(See Claim 3 of the ‘067 patent.).
`
`12.
`
`Put differently still, the universal remote control included a computer
`
`readable medium having instructions for, or was otherwise capable of, performing
`
`the steps of: (a) matching the universal remote control to a plurality of different
`
`home appliances of different manufacturers such that selected codes and data from
`
`the library are used to transmit operating commands to the matched home
`
`appliances in response to activation of selected pushbutton of the keyboard; and (b)
`
`using activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to directly identify
`
`each of the plurality of different home appliances of different manufacturers to
`
`which the universal remote control is to be matched. (See Claim 6 of the ‘067
`
`patent.).
`
`13.
`
`That universal remote control also included additional instructions in the
`
`computer readable medium for, or was otherwise capable of, performing the step
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 5
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`of using activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to assign the subset
`
`of the selected codes and data from the library to the macro pushbutton. (See
`
`Claims 2 and 5 of the ‘067 patent.)
`
`14.
`
`The above-referenced techniques developed in 1986 for direct entry
`
`matching of a universal remote control to a plurality of different home appliances
`
`of different manufacturers and for assigning a command macro to a macro
`
`pushbutton, which are described in more detail in the ‘067 patent, remained largely
`
`the same throughout the process of developing a final, commercial product, with
`
`minor exceptions, such as the form of the code to be entered during direct entry
`
`matching. Again, however, the manner in which those techniques were
`
`implemented did not change.
`
`15.
`
`In the fall of 1986, we made a first prototype of the universal remote control
`
`described in Paragraphs 6-13 above, and photographs of the front and back of same
`
`are attached hereto as Exhibit A. We tested that prototype of the HCU and found it
`
`to be working and suitable for its intended purpose.
`
`16. Attached as Exhibit B hereto is a copy of a circuit diagram for the HCU as it
`
`existed on November 11, 1986, and as it appears in the photo of Exhibit A.
`
`17.
`
`In the winter of 1986-87, we made a development prototype of such a
`
`universal remote control described in Paragraphs 6-13 above, and a photograph of
`
`same is attached hereto as Exhibit C. We tested that prototype of the HCU and
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 6
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`found it to be working and suitable for its intended purpose—just as the first
`
`prototype was.
`
`18.
`
`The circuitry for the prototypes of Exhibits A and C were laid out on
`
`stripboards, also known as proto-boards. As a threshold matter, we would not have
`
`gone to the time, effort and expense of designing and ordering printed circuit
`
`boards (PCBs) for the HCU until we were confident we had working prototypes
`
`that were suitable for their intended purpose.
`
`19.
`
`Likewise, we would not have gone to the time, effort and expense of drafting
`
`user manuals for the HCU until we were confident we had working prototypes that
`
`were suitable for their intended purpose.
`
`20.
`
`In early 1987, confident that we had successfully implemented our intended
`
`design in now multiple prototypes, we began work on designing PCBs and drafting
`
`user manuals for the universal remote control.
`
`21. Attached as Exhibit D hereto is a document entitled “Protostar HCU Manual
`
`Revision 1.1” and dated February 18, 1987 (hereinafter “Rev. 1.1”). As described
`
`on pages 6 and 7 of Rev. 1.1, the HCU was capable of being matched to a plurality
`
`of different home appliances of different manufacturers such that selected codes
`
`and data from its library could be used to transmit operating commands to the
`
`matched home appliances in response to activation of selected pushbuttons of the
`
`keyboard, wherein the pushbuttons of the keyboard were activated to directly
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 7
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`identify each of the plurality of different home appliances of different
`
`manufacturers to which the HCU is to be matched (see ‘067 patent Claims 1, 3, 4
`
`and 6). Specifically, Rev. 1.1 states, “Your HCU works with almost all modern
`
`TV, VCR and cable systems.” Page 6 of Rev. 1.1 describes a “DIRECT
`
`LIBRARY ENTRY” method of matching the remote. Under this method,
`
`pushbuttons of the HCU (e.g. DO, RECALL, VCR and numerical pushbuttons) are
`
`used to directly identify and match the HCU to the target appliance.
`
`22.
`
`I understand that the PTAB has questioned the use of the term “probably” in
`
`the sentence appearing on page 6 of Rev. 1.1 that reads, “Digits entered will
`
`probably reflect the ‘search result’ playback sequence, i.e. a trinary number
`
`sequence,” as purportedly suggesting that we did not have a “definite and
`
`permanent idea of the complete and operative invention.” DECISION – Institution
`
`of Inter Partes Review, Paper No. 13 at 11. This could not be farther from the
`
`truth, as reflected in the fact that we had already developed working prototypes and
`
`begun drafting user manuals. Indeed, as I explained above, the fact that we had
`
`gone to the time, trouble and expense to begin drafting user manuals is conclusive
`
`of the fact that we had already successfully created working prototypes. The use of
`
`“probably” in the subject sentence merely refers to the fact that provided the HCU
`
`has already been successfully matched to an appliance, it was capable of
`
`displaying with its LEDs “blink codes,” which informed the user of the unique
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 8
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`identification code corresponding to the appliance. See Rev. 1.1 at 4 (“SEARCH
`
`RESULTS: ○ [A series of button presses] will initiate flashing sequence indicating
`
`the library selection found by the search sequence.”) This enabled the user to
`
`quickly reprogram the remote without having to look the unique identification code
`
`up in a book or table.
`
`23. As described on pages 5 and 6 of Rev. 1.1, the HCU was capable of
`
`assigning to a macro pushbutton a subset of the selected codes and data from the
`
`library whereafter activation of the macro pushbutton causes the HCU to use the
`
`subset of selected codes and data from the library to transmit a plurality of
`
`operating commands to one or more of the matched home appliances (see ‘067
`
`patent Claims 1 and 4). For example, as described on page 5:
`
`Macro playback will be accomplished by pressing DO and the key
`
`defined by the user except in the case of the top DO keys 1-4. The top
`
`DO keys have an assumed DO. This will be particularly convenient
`
`for powering the system on or off, and for switching from cable A to
`
`cable B in some systems.
`
`As even a lay person, much less one of ordinary skill in the art, would readily
`
`appreciate, powering an audio/video system off typically requires the transmission
`
`of a plurality of operating commands to one or more matched home appliances
`
`(e.g. “power off” for a TV and “power off” for a VCR).
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 9
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`24. As described on pages 5 and 6 of Rev. 1.1, the HCU was capable of using
`
`activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to assign the subset of the
`
`selected codes and data from the library to the macro pushbutton (see ‘067 patent
`
`Claims 2 and 5). For example, as described on page 5:
`o DO and ENTER initiate a macro definition.
`o The next key pressed indicates which key is to be assigned the
`
`macro definition…
`
`25. Attached as Exhibit E hereto is a copy of a circuit diagram for the HCU as it
`
`existed on February 20, 1987.
`
`26. Attached as Exhibit F hereto is a document entitled “Protostar Homer
`
`Specifications [Rev 1.2] (Protostar HCU Manual)” and dated March 8, 1987
`
`(hereinafter “Rev. 1.2”). As described on pages 9 and 12 of Rev. 1.2, the HCU
`
`was capable of being matched to a plurality of different home appliances of
`
`different manufacturers such that selected codes and data from its library could be
`
`used to transmit operating commands to the matched home appliances in response
`
`to activation of selected pushbuttons of the keyboard, wherein the pushbuttons of
`
`the keyboard were activated to directly identify each of the plurality of different
`
`home appliances of different manufacturers to which the HCU is to be matched
`
`(see ‘067 patent Claims 1, 3, 4 and 6). Specifically, Rev. 1.2 states on page 12,
`
`“Your HCU works with almost all modern TV, VCR and cable systems.” Page 9
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 10
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`of Rev. 1.2 describes a “DIRECT LIBRARY ENTRY” method of matching the
`
`remote. Under this method, pushbuttons of the HCU (e.g. DO, RECALL, VCR
`
`and numerical pushbuttons) are used to directly identify and match the HCU to the
`
`target appliance.
`
`27. As described on pages 8 and 9 of Rev. 1.2, the HCU was capable of
`
`assigning to a macro pushbutton a subset of the selected codes and data from the
`
`library whereafter activation of the macro pushbutton causes the HCU to use the
`
`subset of selected codes and data from the library to transmit a plurality of
`
`operating commands to one or more of the matched home appliances (see ‘067
`
`patent Claims 1 and 4). For example, as described on page 8:
`
`Macro playback will be accomplished by pressing DO and the key
`
`defined by the user except in the case of the top DO keys 1-4. The top
`
`DO keys have an assumed DO. This will be particularly convenient
`
`for powering the system on or off, and for switching from cable A to
`
`cable B in some systems.
`
`Again, most anyone would readily appreciate that powering an audio/video system
`
`off typically requires the transmission of a plurality of operating commands to one
`
`or more matched home appliances (e.g. “power off” for a TV and “power off” for a
`
`VCR).
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 11
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`28. As described on pages 8 and 9 of Rev. 1.2, the HCU was capable of using
`
`activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to assign the subset of the
`
`selected codes and data from the library to the macro pushbutton (see ‘067 patent
`
`Claims 2 and 5). For example, as described on page 8:
`o DO and ENTER initiate a macro definition.
`o The next key pressed indicates which key is to be assigned the
`
`macro definition…
`
`29. As I mentioned above, we also began designing the PCB for the HCU in the
`
`winter and spring of 1987. Typically, this would involve our creation of PCB
`
`“artwork” or mock-ups, which we would then send to a PCB fabricator to have
`
`samples made. Again, we would not have gone to the time, effort and expense of
`
`having printed circuit boards fabricated unless we already produced a working
`
`prototype that was suitable for its intended purpose. Attached as Exhibit G are
`
`Paul Darbee’s handwritten notes, dated March 23, 1987, of revisions that needed to
`
`be made to sample PCBs we had already previously received.
`
`30.
`
`In March/April of 1987, we made a pre-production model of the universal
`
`remote control described in Paragraphs 6-13 above that incorporated a PCB, and
`
`photographs of the exterior and PCB of that pre-production model are attached
`
`hereto as Exhibit H. We tested that pre-production model and found it to be
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 12
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`working and suitable for its intended purpose—just as the first prototype and
`
`development prototype were.
`
`31. Attached as Exhibit I hereto is a copy of a circuit diagram for the HCU as it
`
`existed on March 25, 1987.
`
`32. Attached as Exhibit J hereto is a copy of the PCB artwork for the HCU as it
`
`existed on March 27, 1987.
`
`33. Attached as Exhibit K hereto is a copy of the PCB artwork for the HCU as it
`
`existed on April 29, 1987.
`
`34. Attached as Exhibit L hereto is a copy of assembly language source code for
`
`the HCU as it existed on April 30, 1987. As coded on pages 23-24 and 27-29 of
`
`the source code, the HCU was capable of being matched to a plurality of different
`
`home appliances of different manufacturers such that selected codes and data from
`
`its library could be used to transmit operating commands to the matched home
`
`appliances in response to activation of selected pushbuttons of the keyboard,
`
`wherein the pushbuttons of the keyboard were activated to directly identify each of
`
`the plurality of different home appliances of different manufacturers to which the
`
`HCU is to be matched (see ‘067 patent Claims 1, 3, 4 and 6).
`
`35. As coded on page 27 of the source code, the HCU was capable of assigning
`
`to a macro pushbutton a subset of the selected codes and data from the library
`
`whereafter activation of the macro pushbutton causes the HCU to use the subset of
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 13
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`selected codes and data from the library to transmit a plurality of operating
`
`commands to one or more of the matched home appliances (see ‘067 patent Claims
`
`1 and 4).
`
`36. As coded on pages 31-35 of the source code, the HCU was capable of using
`
`activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to assign the subset of the
`
`selected codes and data from the library to the macro pushbutton (see ‘067 patent
`
`Claims 2 and 5).
`
`37. Attached as Exhibit M hereto is a copy of May 18, 1987 memorandum from
`
`Paul Darbee to our PCB fabricator, Inkel, requesting minor cosmetic and
`
`mechanical modifications to our PCBs.
`
`38. Attached as Exhibit N hereto is a copy of a circuit diagram for the HCU as it
`
`existed on May 23, 1987.
`
`39. Attached as Exhibit O hereto is a copy of the PCB artwork for the HCU as it
`
`existed on May 29, 1987.
`
`40. Attached as Exhibit P hereto is a document entitled “Universal Electronics
`
`UNI-COM Universal Remote Control User’s Manual Review Copy” and dated
`
`June 8, 1987 (hereinafter “Review Copy”). As described on pages 12 and 13 of the
`
`Review Copy, the HCU was capable of being matched to a plurality of different
`
`home appliances of different manufacturers such that selected codes and data from
`
`its library could be used to transmit operating commands to the matched home
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 14
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`appliances in response to activation of selected pushbuttons of the keyboard,
`
`wherein the pushbuttons of the keyboard were activated to directly identify each of
`
`the plurality of different home appliances of different manufacturers to which the
`
`HCU is to be matched (see ‘067 patent Claims 1, 3, 4 and 6). Specifically, the
`
`Review Copy states on page 2, “Your UNI-COM [also known as HCU] works with
`
`almost all modern television, VCR, cable and compact disc (CD) systems.” Page
`
`12 of the Review Copy describes a “Quick-Match” method of matching the
`
`remote. Under this method, pushbuttons of the HCU (e.g. DO, RECALL, VCR,
`
`and the channel up/down pushbuttons) are used to directly identify and match the
`
`HCU to the target appliance. In this revision, a combination of eight presses of
`
`CH+ and CH- buttons would identify to the HCU a unique binary number
`
`corresponding to the library of codes and data to be matched to the target
`
`appliance. Although the buttons pressed (number keys vs. CH+/CH-) and the form
`
`of the code entered (3-digit decimal vs. 8-bit binary) changed, the core concept—
`
`directly identifying the target appliance to the HCU via the pushbuttons—always
`
`remained the same.
`
`41. As described on pages 9-11 of the Review Copy, the HCU was capable of
`
`assigning to a macro pushbutton a subset of the selected codes and data from the
`
`library whereafter activation of the macro pushbutton causes the HCU to use the
`
`subset of selected codes and data from the library to transmit a plurality of
`
`Universal Electronics Exhibit 2005, Page 15
`Universal Remote Control v. Universal Electronics, Trial No. IPR2013-00127
`
`
`
`operating commands to one or more of the matched home appliances (see ‘067
`
`patent Claims 1 and 4). For example, as described on pages 9-10:
`
`Before sitting down to watch your favorite show there are certain
`
`things you might have to do. For example, you may have to turn your
`
`TV, VCR and cable converter on, get your VCR ready to record, and
`
`set the cable converter to your favorite station. Normally with your
`
`old remote controls, it took a lot of button pressing, not to mention
`
`having to find the right remote control. With UNI-COM [HCU] you
`
`can do all this and more with the push of just one or two buttons!
`
`42. As described on pages 10 and 11 of the Review Copy, the HCU was capable
`
`of using activation of one or more pushbuttons of the keyboard to assign the subset
`
`of the selected codes and data from the library to the macro pushbutton (see ‘067
`
`patent Claims 2 and 5). For example, as described on page 11:
`
