`
`
`
`[Patent Owner] does not dispute that the Combination [of Mohan and Oncore]
`discloses Claim 3’s triggerable preamble, GPS element, telemetry element,
`and enable/disable element, nor does [Patent Owner] dispute any of the claim
`constructions set forth by this Panel—[Patent Owner]’s disputed elements
`relate to whether Claim 3’s data selecting device and related data formatting
`functionality are disclosed by the Combination [of Mohan and Oncore],
`particularly, Oncore.
`
`Petitioner’s Reply, Paper 23 at 6 (citations omitted).
`
`Thus, the issue presented is whether Oncore teaches a “device capable of
`selecting location data to include in the location signal” that “arranges the
`selected location data into the desired order for transmission,” according to the
`proper construction of the claim.
`
`IPR2014‐00712

`
`Institution Decision, Paper 8 at 11.
`
`
`
`The “Data Selecting Device” and the
`“Data Formatting Functionality” Elements:
`
`selecting
`data
`…a
`device for selecting less than
`all of
`the location data to
`include
`in
`the
`location
`signal….
`
`Therefore, we construe “data selecting device” as
`“device capable of selecting location data to include in the
`location signal.”
`
`Institution Decision, Paper 8 at 8.
`
`data
`the
`…wherein
`selecting device reorders the
`selected location data.
`
`Consequently, we construe “reorders the selected
`location data” as “arranges the selected location data into
`the desired order for transmission.”

`include in the location
`signal.”

`
`
`
`A Person of Ordinary Skill Would have
`Combined Mohan and Oncore
`•
`
`Simple substitution of Oncore’s commercially‐available GPS receiver
`in place of Mohan’s GPS receiver achieves a predictable result
`
`• Motivation to utilize Oncore’s GPS receiver in place of Mohan’s GPS
`receiver in order to utilize a GPS receiver that communicates via a
`specific, known communication protocol (NMEA‐0183)
`
`• Motivation to utilize Oncore’s GPS receiver in place of Mohan’s GPS
`receiver by recognized benefits associated with Oncore’s GPS
`receiver
`
`IPR2014‐00712
`
`24
`
`
`
`The Combination of Mohan and Oncore
`would have been obvious to the POSITA
`• Neither Mohan nor Oncore Teaches Away from Their Combination
`
`• POSITA would not be lead away by Mohan’s miniaturized
`aspects
`
`• POSITA would not be lead away by Oncore’s off‐the‐shelf aspect
`
`• Oncore’s use of the NMEA standard does not teach away
