`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`Petitioner respectfully submits this Reply in Support of its Petition seeking
`
`inter partes review of U.S. Patent 8,023,580 (Ex. 1301), “the `580 patent.
`
`I.
`
`PROCEDURAL HISTORY
`Petitioner filed its petition on March 20, 2014. On September 23, 2014, the
`
`Board instituted trial on claims 32, 34, 38, 40, 43, 44, and 47 or the `580 patent.
`
`On December 1, 2014, Patent Owner (“PO”) filed its response pursuant to 37 CFR
`
`§ 42.120. In its response, PO argued in support of patentability of claims 38 and
`
`47, and was silent regarding claims 32, 34, 40, 43 and 44. Then, on December 4,
`
`2014, PO filed a document entitled “Patent Owner’s Notice Of Filing Of
`
`Disclaimer Under 37 C.F.R. § 1.321(a).” In this Notice, PO indicated that it had
`
`disclaimed instituted claims 32, 34, 40, 43, and 44 of the ’580 Patent. Thus, only
`
`claims 38 and 47 are at issue in this proceeding.
`
`II.
`
`CLAIMS 38 AND 47 OF THE `580 PATENT ARE UNPATENTABLE
`Petitioner has shown that the instituted claims are rendered obvious by the
`
`subject matter Patent Owner (“PO”) admitted was prior art in the specification and
`
`prosecution history of the `580 patent (“APA”) in combination with U.S. Patent
`No. 5,706,428, Ex. 1304 (“Boer”). See e.g., Petition, Paper 1 & Ex. 1318. PO
`
`disagrees for two reasons. First, PO argues that a person having ordinary skill
`
`would not have been motivated to combine Boer and the APA. Second, PO argues
`
`that Boer does not teach “at least two types of modulation methods,” as required by
`
`each of the claims. Neither of these positions has any merit.
`
`III. PETITIONER HAS ESTABLISHED OBVIOUSNESS
`In the Institution Decision, the Board found that a person having ordinary
`
`1
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`skill in the art would have been motivated to combine Boer’s teachings with the
`
`APA because master/slave systems were well-known for simplicity and
`
`determinacy. The Board relied on Upender, Ex. 1317, which the Board noted was
`
`a 1994 publication that “compares various strengths and weaknesses for
`communication protocols for embedded systems.” Paper 16, p. 11.1 PO argues
`
`that Upender does not provide any motivation. PO also argues that there is a
`
`“teaching away,” asserting that a person having ordinary skill also would have
`
`been motivated to modify Boer in a different manner. PO’s arguments are wrong.
`
`Upender Demonstrates Motivation For The Combination
`A.
`Upender is a paper discussing various media access control (“MAC”)
`
`protocols that could be used in a local area network (LAN). Ex. 1317, p. 46. A
`
`MAC protocol, as its name suggests, determines how a network “picks the next
`
`transmitter for access to the shared network medium. . . .” Id. As evidenced by
`
`Upender, there were many different MAC protocols known before the priority date
`
`of the `580 patent. Examples of such protocols included (i) connection-oriented
`
`protocols, (ii) master/slave, also called polling, (iii) time division multiple access,
`
`(iv) token ring, (v) token bus, (vi) binary countdown, (vii) carrier sense multiple
`
`access with collision detection (CSMA/CD), and (viii) reservation carrier sense
`multiple access (RCSMA). See Ex. 1317. It is undisputed that prior to the filing
`
`1 PO asserts that Petitioner relied on Upender to argue that a motivation to combine
`the APA and Boer was flexibility and efficiency. Paper 25, p. 26. This is wrong.
`
`Upender was only cited regarding simplicity and determinacy. Paper 1, p. 40-41.
`
`2
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`date in 1997, the master/slave protocol was a popular protocol. See Ex. 1317, p. 50
`
`(“Polling is one of the more popular protocols for embedded systems…”). See
`
`also Ex. 1319, 73:4-20 (“I would say, you know, if you want to look at the entire
`
`world, there are probably more master/slave systems, but that's a reflection on the
`
`types of applications that had networks. . .”).
`
`1. Determinacy And Simplicity Are Important Factors To Consider
`When Choosing A MAC Protocol
`Upender teaches that each of the different MAC protocols have strengths
`
`and weaknesses vis-à-vis each other. Upender teaches that two important
`
`considerations for choosing a MAC protocol are determinacy and simplicity. Ex.
`
`1317, p. 47. Determinacy is “the ability to calculate worst-case response time,”
`
`which “is important for meeting the real-time constraints of many embedded
`
`control applications.” Id. See also Ex. 1319, 120:18-121:6. According to an FAA
`
`handbook coauthored by PO’s expert Dr. Koopman, a non-deterministic MAC
`
`protocol can result in “collisions” between transmitted messages, which is a
`
`“problem.” Ex. 1320, p. A-10.
`
`Regarding simplicity, Upender teaches that a “vital consideration is the cost
`
`per node.” Ex. 1317, p. 47. Upender further teaches that “[s]imple protocols
`
`require less hardware and software resources and are therefore likely to be less
`
`expensive. For extremely cost-sensitive high-volume applications, these protocols
`
`are good candidates.” Id. The article discusses each protocol in a progression
`
`from “very simple” to “complex.” Id. Master/slave is discussed second, indicating
`
`that it is one of the simplest, and thus least costly.
`

`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`2. Dr. Koopman Admits That Determinacy and Simplicity Are
`Reasons To Select A Master/Slave MAC Protocol
`PO asserts that a person having ordinary skill in the art would not be
`
`motivated to combine the master/slave protocol of the APA with Boer. Yet, in his
`
`deposition, PO’s expert Dr. Koopman admitted that determinacy and simplicity
`
`would lead a person having ordinary skill in the art to consider using a
`
`master/slave protocol. Ex. 1319, 119:14-120:3 (“. . . if you want determinacy that
`
`would -- that would keep master/slave on your list of candidates. . . .”). The same
`
`is true for simplicity, where Dr. Koopman admitted that if a person having ordinary
`
`skill valued simplicity, it would lead them to consider using a master/slave
`
`protocol. Id. at 115:12-116:20. (“The fact that [master/slave] was simple would
`
`lead them to consider it in applications where simple was important.”).
`
`B.
`
`Boer Uses A MAC Protocol Having Disadvantages When
`Compared To A Master/Slave Protocol.
`Boer MAC protocol is what it calls “carrier sense multiple access with
`
`collision avoidance,” or “CSMA/CA.” Ex. 1304, 4:25-27. Boer’s MAC protocol
`
`is neither simple nor deterministic. Thus, a person having ordinary skill in the art
`
`who wanted a multiple data rate communication system like that in Boer and the
`
`advantages of simplicity and determinacy would be motivated to make Petitioner’s
`
`combination. See Ex. 1318 (Goodman Decl.), ¶169.
`
`Petitioner notes that what Boer refers to as “CSMA/CA” corresponds to
`
`what Upender calls “CSMA/CD,” or “carrier sense multiple access with collision
`
`detection.” Ex. 2302, ¶¶75-78 & Ex. 1319, 123:20-124:3. Upender clearly states
`
`that CSMA/CD has poor determinacy. See Ex. 1218, p. 54 (“However, under
`
`4
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`heavy traffic, the overhead is unbounded due to high probability of repeated
`
`collisions. Consequently, this protocol has poor determinacy.”). At his deposition,
`
`Dr. Koopman admitted that the CSMA/CA protocol used in Boer could experience
`collisions and thus lacked determinacy. See Ex. 1319, 128:19-129:7. Boer itself
`
`states that CSMA/CA can experience collisions. Ex. 1304, 4:25-40.
`
`As for simplicity, Upender states that its discussion of the various MAC
`
`protocols “progresses from very simple to complex, high-performance protocols.”
`
`Ex. 1317, p. 47. The master/slave protocol is discussed second, meaning it is one
`
`of the simplest, while CSMA/CD (i.e., the CSMA/CA of Boer), is discussed
`
`seventh, demonstrating that simplicity is not its strength.
`
`C.
`
`A Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art Would Weigh The
`Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Various MAC Protocols
`The entire point of Upender is to discuss “strengths and weaknesses” of
`
`various MAC protocols. Ex. 1317, p. 46. Upender summarizes its conclusions by
`
`stating “this article’s discussion of the special considerations and media access
`
`protocol strengths and weaknesses should allow you to select the best protocol to
`
`match your needs.” Id. at 57. The authors of Upender do say that that they felt at
`
`RCSMA was “ good choice” for their systems. Id. at 56-57. However, at his
`
`deposition, Dr. Koopman admitted that even RSCMA had weaknesses, one of
`
`which was “scaling up for network with lots of nodes.” Ex. 1319, 64:2-16.
`
`D. When The Prior Art Discloses Many Embodiments, The Fact
`That Certain Alternatives Might Be Better Does Not Negate
`Motivation To Use The Lesser Embodiments
`As seen from the above, in 1997 persons having ordinary skill in the art
`
`5
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`knew that there were many different types of MAC protocols available for use.
`
`According to KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398, 421 (2007), “[w]hen
`
`there is a design need or market pressure to solve a problem and there are a finite
`
`number of identified, predictable solutions, a person of ordinary skill has good
`
`reason to pursue the known options within his or her technical grasp. If this leads
`
`to the anticipated success, it is likely the product not of innovation but of ordinary
`
`skill and common sense.” According to KSR, the fact that persons having ordinary
`
`skill in the art knew about the various MAC protocols, including master/slave, and
`
`knew that it could be used to create a simple and deterministic MAC protocol is all
`
`that is needed to establish obviousness. Indeed, KSR reiterated the Supreme
`
`Court’s long-standing principle that “‘when a patent ‘simply arranges old elements
`
`with each performing the same function it had been known to perform’ and yields
`
`no more than one would expect from such an arrangement, the combination is
`
`obvious.” Id. at 417 (quoting Sakraida v. Ag Pro, Inc., 425 U.S. 273, 282 (1976)).
`
`That master/slave was an ‘old element’ is not in dispute. Indeed, the `580
`
`patent admits master/slave is prior art, Upender identifies master/slave as “one of
`
`the more popular protocols” and Dr. Koopman testified that master/slave systems
`
`were common in 1997. Ex. 1319, 73:4-20 (“I would say, you know, if you want to
`
`look at the entire world, there are probably more master/slave systems. . . .”). The
`
`only other claimed elements relate to the use of different modulation types, which
`
`is found in Boer (discussed below), meaning that all the claimed elements are “old
`
`elements” that perform the “same function” they did in the prior art, demonstrating
`
`that the claims are obvious. KSR, 550 U.S. at 417.
`
`6
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`PO’s argument against motivation to combine is that a master/slave protocol
`
`has certain disadvantages when compared to certain strengths of the CSMA/CA
`
`used in Boer. Paper 25, pp. 31-38. Boer’s CSMA/CA’s strengths include
`increased flexibility and efficiency. Id. at 32-34. PO argues that these strengths,
`
`when weighed against the weaknesses of master/slave, would teach away from
`
`using a master/slave protocol with Boer. Id. at 35-38. PO’s argument fails as a
`
`matter of fact and law.
`
`1. The Alleged Benefits Provided By Boer’s CSMA/CA Do Not
`Relate To Any Claimed Feature
`PO argues that Boer’s CSMA/CA provides benefits over master/slave, and
`
`because of these benefits, Boer teaches away from the combination. For example,
`
`Dr. Koopman asserts that CSMA more easily supports a large number of stations
`
`than does a master/slave protocol. Dr. Koopman, however, admitted at his
`
`deposition that none of the challenged claims contain any limitations directed to a
`
`large number of stations and that such a requirement was “not relevant.” Ex. 1319,
`
`156:2-11 (“I would say for this patent, the number of stations is not relevant.”).
`
`Dr. Koopman also argued that the master/slave protocol’s alleged inability to
`
`allow admission of new stations to a network would cause an ordinarily skilled
`
`person to avoid the combination. Ex. 2302, ¶81. Dr. Koopman, however, admitted
`
`that this requirement was also not found in the claims. Ex. 1319, 175:14-176:7. In
`
`fact, Dr. Koopman admitted that he was not aware of any requirement in the claims
`
`relating to flexibility, efficiency or overhead, all of which PO asserts lead to no
`
`motivation to combine. Id. at 177:13-178:11. Because these features are
`
`7
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`unclaimed, they cannot be used to argue against motivation to combine. Schrader-
`
`Bridgeport Int’l, Inc. v. Continental Auto. Sys., Inc., IPR2013-00014, Paper 32, p.
`
`11 (Mar. 12, 2014) (Argument against motivation to combine not accepted when
`
`unclaimed feature is basis for the argument).
`
`According to the Federal Circuit, “a reference may be said to teach away
`
`when a person of ordinary skill, upon reading the reference, would be discouraged
`
`from following the path set out in the reference, or would be led in a direction
`
`divergent from the path that was taken by the applicant. In re Gurley, 27 F.3d 551,
`
`553 (Fed. Cir. 1994). PO argues that Boer discourages use of master/slave because of
`
`its alleged desire to reduce overhead. Paper 25, pp. 31-32 & Ex. 2302 (Koopman
`
`Decl.), ¶97. The portion in Boer cited by PO for support for this “teaching away”
`
`argument says nothing about CSMA/CA contributing to a reduction in overhead,
`
`saying instead that using short acknowledgment messages provides this benefit. Ex.
`
`1304, 8:29-30. Thus, Boer itself does not discourage use of master/slave.
`
`Regardless, as discussed, Dr. Koopman admitted that he did not see overhead as
`
`part of the claimed invention (Ex. 1319, 178:6-11).
`
`2. Upender Does Not Teach Away
`Even if Boer or Upender suggest that CSMA/CA is better than master/slave,
`
`that does not mean the references teach away from the combination. The Federal
`
`Circuit has held that “just because better alternatives exist in the prior art does not
`
`mean that an inferior combination is inapt for obviousness purposes.” In re
`
`Mouttet, 686 F.3d 1322, 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (Board’s obviousness determination
`
`affirmed). Indeed, even though Dr. Koopman’s declaration asserts that Upender
`
`8
`
`

`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,023,580
`
`would only motivate one to replace the CSMA/CA in Boer with the RCSMA in
`
`Upender, Dr. Koopman testified at his deposition that there were some applications
`
`where RCSMA was better and others where master/slave was better. Ex. 1319,
`
`39:2-20 (“Let me be more precise. There are some systems for which master/slave
`
`is clearly a better match for the design requirements. There are some systems
`
`which reservation CSMA/CA is a better match for requirements, and the
`
`requirements include technical factors.”). Upender itself states that readers can use
`
`its teachings to “select the best protocol to match your needs,” (Ex. 1317, pp. 56-
`
`57), which hardly amounts to a teaching that only RCSMA should be used.
`
`The fact that even Dr. Koopman admits that master/slave would be a “better
`
`match” in certain circumstances demonstrates PO is wrong, as a “teaching away”
`
`requires more than arguing that an alternative combination is better - the prior art
`has to provide “clear discouragement of that combination.” Syntex (U.S.A.) LLC v.
`
`Apotex, Inc., 407 F.3d 1371, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2005). As Dr. Koopman’s cross-
`
`examination establishes, none of PO’s arguments establish that the APA, Boer or
`
`Upender provide any discouragement at all, let alone “clear discouragement.”
`
`Dr. Koopman’s Testimony Is Suspect
`E.
`Dr. Koopman is a co-author of Upender. His attempt to argue that Upender
`
`discourages use of master/slave is belied by its text and is an example of why the
`
`Federal Circuit has “serious reservations about the propriety” of clarifying the
`
`teachings of the prior art with expert testimony from the prior art’s inventor. Lear
`
`Siegler, Inc. v. Aeroquip Corp., 733 F.2d 881, 888 (Fed. Cir. 1984). The problems
`
`with Dr. Koopman’s testimony are amplified by his admission that he did not
