`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Construction of “Represented
`
`IO ” iOn” is Improperly Narrow And Incorrectl N A d I
`
`
`
`
`•
`
`• Patent Owner replaces the term "represented on" with "depicted on"
`(displayed on) and requires the tuned-to channel to be visible on the display
`The term “displayed” is used in two other places in claim 1. (Ex. 1001,
`38:27-47).
`Thus Patent Owner’s use of the term “represented on” was a choice to use
`a different term with a different meaning than “display on”(Pet. Reply, p. 6)
`
`•
`
`Patent Owner’s expert testified that
`
`“depicted on” and “displayed on” havedepicted on and displayed on have
`the same meaning. (Ex. 1052, 148:20-
`24)

`
`
`
`Patent Owner Improperly Adds a
`
`““Temporal” Limitationl” i i i
`
`
`
`• Patent Owner further improperly imposes a temporal limitation requiring
`the channel to be displayed "when the user selected the channel from the
`displayed favorite channel list.” (POR, p. 11)
`
`• Patent Owner’s temporal limitation is based purely on its improper
`construction of “interact with.” (POR, p. 16)
`
`•
`
`There is nothing in claim 1 or the specification that imposes any temporal
`limitation on this claim element. (Pet. Reply, p. 7)

`electronic display) one after the other.” (Decision To Institute, p. 11)

`
`
`
`Realistic Discloses Display Of A Channel Number
`
`When Interacting Even Under Patent Owner’sWhen Interacting Even Under Patent Owner s
`Narrow Construction
`Patent Owner’s expert, Alex Cook, and the Board understood that Realistic discloses
`displaying a channel number when interacting with a list of favorite channels:
`
`(Decision Denying Rehearing, Paper 12, p. 2)
`
`(Ex. 1052 (Cook Dep.) at 237:16-25)

`
`IPR2014-01109 URC Ex. 1057 Page 12
`
`
`
`Realistic and Evans disclose favorite “channels defined for
`
`ildidisplay in a display of the hand held device”di l f th h d h ld d i ”
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`•
`
`• Patent Owner’s contention that this term requires an “attribute” of the
`hchannel for display is simply incorrect. No “attribute” is referred to in l f di l i i l i N “ ib ” i f d i
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`either the claim itself or anywhere in the ‘930 patent.
`The term “defined for display in … the hand held device” was added to
`
`ididistinguish prior art in which a favorite channel list was displayed in i h i i hi h f i h l li di l d i
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`another component, not the hand held device. It was not added to limit
`how favorite channels are displayed. (Pet. Reply, p. 12 and Ex. 1002, pp.
`
`427 433 434)427, 433-434)
`The Realistic reference discloses displaying channels in the display. (Pet.,
`p. 16)

`
`
`Realistic and Evans Are Properly CombinedRealistic and Evans Are Properly Combined
`
`• As recognized by the Board, "[i]f a technique has been used to improve one
`device, and a person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that it would
`
`
`iimprove similar devices in the same way, using the technique is obvious unless its i il d i i h i h h i i b i l i
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`actual application is beyond his or her skill." (Decision to Institute, Paper 9, p. 10).
`The display of keys or functions thereof in Evans was a known improvement that
`would be obvious to combine with the Realistic reference.

`No Secondary Considerations of Non-Obviousness
`
`• No nexus between the ‘930 patent and alleged commercial
`
`success of Logitech and Nevo products. g p
