`
`Global Tel*Link’s Objections to Securus’ Demonstratives
`IPR2014-00825
`
`On June 29, 2015 pursuant to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s ORDER
`
`
`
`Trial Hearing (Paper 26), Patent Owner served 62 demonstrative slides on
`
`Petitioner Global Tel*Link Corporation for use at its oral argument in this
`
`proceeding. Only a small number of these 62 demonstrative slides cited to a paper
`
`in this proceeding to establish that the slide does not present new argument or new
`
`evidence. Consequently, on July 1, Petitioner filed objections to 30 of Patent
`
`Owner’s improper demonstrative slides. (See Paper 30.) At the direction of the
`
`Board, on July 6, the parties had a meet-and-confer in an attempt to reach an
`
`agreement on the objected-to slides. However, at least 28 of Patent Owner’s
`
`demonstrative slides continue to be improper as these slides rely on evidence never
`
`cited or specifically addressed in any paper before the Board, present new
`
`arguments, mischaracterize the record, and/or present new arguments supported
`
`only by citations to Patent Owner’s observations on cross examination. Petitioner
`
`addresses these 28 improper demonstrative slides in the detailed objections below.
`
`Presentation Slide 6
`
`
`Global Tel*Link objects to Securus’ presentation slide 6 as presenting new
`
`arguments not previously raised in any paper (Patent Owner never discussed
`
`Spadaro and the ’167 patent being “co-owned over three and a half years prior to
`
`the filing of the ’357 Patent Application” or that the ’357 patent “add[ed] a named
`
`
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`
`inventor not included on the ’167 patent” in any paper filed after institution of

`
`
`trial).
`
`
`Presentation Slide 8
`
`
`Global Tel*Link objects to Securus’ presentation slide 8 as presenting new
`
`arguments not previously raised in any paper (Patent Owner never discussed the
`
`“Burden on Petitioner to Qualify Prior Art” in any paper filed after institution of
`
`trial), and as relying on evidence never cited or specifically discussed in any paper
`
`before the Board (cites to Dynamic Drinkware LLC v. National Graphics, Inc. ,
`
`IPR2013-00131, Securus Technologies, Inc. v. Global Tel*link Corp., IPR2015-
`
`00153, and MPEP 706.02(l)(3)).
`
`
`Presentation Slide 9
`
`
`Global Tel*Link objects to Securus’ presentation slide 9 as presenting new
`
`arguments not previously raised in any paper (Patent Owner never discussed that
`
`“[s]tatement of counsel is sufficient evidence” or that “Petitioner does not dispute
`
`that Spadaro was co-owned at the time that the ’357 CIP Application was filed” in
`
`any paper filed after institution of trial), and as relying on evidence never cited or
`
`specifically discussed in any paper before the Board (cites to Ex Parte Salazar,
`
`Appeal 2011-001993, 2013 WL 3338142, at *1 (May 31, 2013) and MPEP
`
`706.02(1)(2)(11)).

`
`Presentation Slide 10

`
`Global Tel*Link objects to Securus’ presentation slide 10 as presenting new
`
`arguments not previously raised in any paper (Patent Owner never discussed that
`
`“there is no presumption that claims in a CIP are entitled to the effective date of an
`
`earlier filed application” or that “it is not Patent Owner’s burden to prove ‘non-
`
`support’ in the earlier filed application” in any paper filed after institution of trial),
`
`and as relying on evidence never cited or specifically discussed in any paper before
`
`the Board (cite to PowerOasis, Inc. et al. v. T-Mobile USA Inc., 522 F.3d 1299,
`
`1305 (Fed. Cir. 2008)).
`

`
`Global Tel*Link objects to Securus’ presentation slide 11 as presenting new
`
`arguments not previously raised in any paper (Patent Owner never discussed
`
`“103(c)(1) Petitioner’s Lack of Support” in any paper filed after institution of

`
`before the Board (cites to Dynamic Drinkware LLC v. National Graphics, Inc.,
`
`IPR2013-00131 and IPR2014-01533), and containing mischaracterizations (e.g.,
`
`Petitioner did compare the claims to the corresponding support in the ’167 Patent,
`
`and Petitioner never asked the Board to “determine whether the necessary support
`
`exists”).

`
`containing mischaracterizations (e.g., Petitioner’s expert did provide analysis that
`
`would show support of the claim language of the disputed claims), and as
`
`presenting new arguments supported only by citations to Patent Owner’s
`
`observations on cross examination (e.g., Dr. Forys’ second deposition transcript at

`
`made” in any paper filed after institution of trial), as relying on evidence never

`mischaracterizations (e.g., Petitioner’s position is not “equivalent to construing
`
`‘call application management system’ as a generic ‘device’ that is defined only by
`
`the surrounding claim language” nor does it “ignore[] the inherent limitations
`
`imposed by the claim term”).
