`
`
`
`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S RESPONSE
`TO REQUEST FOR REHEARING
`IPR2013-00219 (Patent 7,477,284)
`
`On October 7, 2013, the Petitioner filed a Request for Rehearing Pursuant to
`
`
`
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d), regarding the fact that in its Decision to Institute Inter Partes
`
`Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,477,284 (Paper No. 16), the Board did not institute
`
`review of certain grounds stated in the petition.
`
`
`
`The Petitioner’s disagreement stems from the prior art reference Ishiguro.
`
`The Decision presented several reasons not to institute review based on Ishiguro,
`
`including that Ishiguro is redundant to the prior art in the adopted grounds,
`
`including Kawakita. Petitioner argues that Ishiguro is “better in some respect”
`
`than Kawakita because the Patent Owner has challenged whether Kawakita
`
`qualifies as a prior art printed publication.
`
`
`
`The Board has found in its Decision that “Petitioner has established by a
`
`preponderance of the evidence that the Kawakita reference was publically
`
`accessible prior to the effective date of the invention.” Paper 16 at 19, citing to
`
`related IPR2013-00218, Paper 16 at 17.
`
`In response, for reasons of efficiency and without conceding the issue for other
`
`purposes, the Patent Owner will agree not to contest in this proceeding whether
`
`Kawakita is a prior art printed publication, provided that:
`
`1. the Board denies the Petitioner’s Motion for Rehearing;
`
`
`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S RESPONSE
`TO REQUEST FOR REHEARING
`IPR2013-00219 (Patent 7,477,284)
`
`2. the Patent Owner reserves the right to contest Kawakita on a substantive
`
`basis; and
`
`3. the Patent Owner reserves the right to contest the prior art status of Kawakita
`
`in any other proceedings, including district court litigation.

`
