`
`REPLY DECLARATION OF JAMES T. GEIER
`
`Back
`
`1. My name is James T. Geier. My prior experience and education are
`
`summarized in my previously filed declaration in the above matter dated July 10,
`
`2014 (Ex. 1003). A copy of my current CV is attached hereto as Appendix A.
`
`2.
`
`I have been retained in this matter by Universal Remote Control, Inc.
`
`("Petitioner" or "URC") to rebut the analysis and opinion provided by 1\/Ir. Alex
`
`‘
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 1
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`Cook in his declaration filed on March 25, 2015 (Ex. 2029) and certain statements
`
`made by Patent Owner in the Response of the same date (Paper 12).
`
`3.
`
`I am being compensated at the rate of $300 per hour for my work. My fee
`
`is not contingent on the outcome of any matter or on any of the technical positions
`
`I explain in this declaration. I have no financial interest in Petitioner.
`
`4.
`
`I still have no financial interest in the Patent Owner or the ’207 patent nor
`
`to my recollection have I ever had any contact with the Patent Owner, or the
`
`inventors of the '207 patent, Paul Arling or Patrick Hayes.
`
`5.
`
`I have carefully reviewed the Patent Owner’s Response (Paper 12) and
`
`the declaration of l\/Ir. Cook (Ex. 2029) in support thereof as well as his deposition
`
`testimony related to his declaration (Ex. 1054).
`
`6.
`
`For convenience, all of the information that I considered in arriving at my
`
`opinions is listed in Appendix B.
`
`7.
`
`l\/Ir. Cook and I generally agree on the relevant field of the '207 Patent as
`
`set forth in paragraph 15 of my prior declaration. See Ex. 1003, 1115 and Ex. 2029,
`
`1116.
`
`8. As previously noted, I have extensive experience in the relevant field,
`
`including experience relating to wireless communications and configuration of
`
`system components.
`
`‘
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 2
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`9. As previously explained, I have been informed that "a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the relevant field" is a hypothetical person to whom an expert in the
`
`relevant field could assign a routine task with reasonable confidence that the task
`
`would be successfully carried out. I have been informed that the level of skill in the
`
`art is evidenced by the prior art references. As I previously noted, the prior art
`
`discussed herein demonstrates that a person of ordinary skill in the art, at the time
`
`the ’207 patent was filed, would have a bachelors degree in electrical engineering,
`
`telecommunications, or computer science (or an equivalent degree) with two years
`
`experience in the communications industry and was aware of programmable
`
`universal remote controls, home systems with components controllable by remote
`
`controls and/or other components and configurable setups for the home systems.
`
`l\/Ir. Cook apparently agrees that these qualifications would be common to one of
`
`skill in the art. See Ex. 2029, 1ll8.
`
`10.
`
`l\/Ir. Cook, however, indicated that one of skill in the art must also have
`
`“design experience with universal remote controls as well as direct user experience
`
`with home entertainment systems and the unique problems presented in dealing
`
`with a system of components, designed for different components and supplied by
`
`different manufacturers.” Id.
`
`I disagree that one of ordinary skill in the art would
`
`need these additional qualifications.
`
`11. As is recognized in the ‘207 patent, universal remote controls that
`
`‘
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 3
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`controlled multiple components of an entertainment system were well known and
`
`used at the time of the invention disclosed in the ‘207 patent such that the design of
`
`the remote control itself is not relevant. See Ex. 1001, col. 1, 11. 7-13.
`
`12.
`
`The approach to system control taken in the ‘207 patent is no different
`
`than that taken when controlling any multi-component system, which would have
`
`been well known to anyone with the education and industry experience that 1\/Ir.
`
`Cook and I both agree would be common to one skilled in the art. See 11 9, infra
`
`and Ex. 2029,1118.
`
`13. Nonetheless, even assuming the unnecessarily high level of skill that 1\/Ir.
`
`Cook requires, one skilled in the art would understand that the ‘831 publication
`
`discloses all of the features of claims 13-15. That is, the higher level of skill
`
`required by one of ordinary skill in the art in accordance with 1\/Ir. Cook’s
`
`experience would not affect my opinion that the ‘831 publication, as understood by
`
`one skilled in the art, discloses all of the limitations of claims 13-15 of the ‘207
`
`patent as set forth in my prior declaration dated July 2014 in this matter. See Ex.
`
`1003.
`
`14.
`
`Based on my experience, I have an established understanding of the
`
`relevant field in the relevant timeframe and qualify as at least one of ordinary skill
`
`in the art even in view of 1\/Ir. Cook’s inappropriately high skill level requirement
`
`for one of ordinary skill in the art.
`

`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 4
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`15.
`
`In its Decision to Institute Trial, the Board identified the term
`
`“configuration of the entertainment device” as a common term in each of claims
`
`13, 14 and 15 that required construction. See Ex. 1046 (Paper 10), p. 9. Neither
`
`Patent Owner nor Petitioner previously identified this term as requiring
`
`construction.
`
`16.
`
`Based on my review of the ‘207 patent, I believe that the meaning of this
`
`term is clear in view of the plain language of the claims. Specifically, claim 13
`
`specifies “the configuration of the entertainment device comprises at least one of
`
`the plurality of devices being used as an audio visual input source device for the
`
`entertainment device and at least one of the plurality of devices being used as an
`
`audio visual output destination device for the entertainment device.” Ex. 1001,
`
`col. 12, 11. 15-20. That is, this term merely requires indicating at least one input
`
`device to the entertainment device and at least one output device of the
`
`entertainment device.
`
`17.
`
`Based on my review of the ‘207 patent, neither the claim language nor
`
`the specification of the ‘207 explicitly limits how the indication of the input device
`
`and the output device is implemented.
`
`18.
`
`I agree with the Board’s conclusion that as properly construed, the
`
`entertainment device and associated input and output appliances may be
`
`‘configured’ by “selectively powering on and powering off the input and output
`
`‘
`
`
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 5
`
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`appliances so that, for example, only one input appliances supplies an active input
`
`signal to the entertainment device and only one output appliance renders the output
`
`signal.” Paper 10, pp. 9-10.
`
`19.
`
`Consistent with the Board’s conclusion, the ‘207 patent explicitly teaches
`
`that activation of the activity key may result in transmission of commands to
`
`appliances in the home entertainment system. See Ex. 1001, col. 1, 11. 45-47. That
`
`is, the ‘207 patent discloses that activation of the activity key may trigger
`
`transmission of commands to control appliances in the entertainment system, such
`
`as powering source devices and destination devices on and off as suggested by the
`
`Board.
`
`20.
`
`Based on my review of the ‘207 patent, I see no language that would
`
`exclude the the broad interpretation of the term “configuration of the
`
`entertainment device” applied by the Board in its Decision and discussed above.
`
`21.
`
`In home entertainment systems, there are multiple configurations of
`
`input, or source, devices and output, or destination, devices that may be used to
`
`accomplish various desired activities. For instance, if a user wants to watch a
`
`movie, a chosen input/device could be the DVD player, and the chosen
`
`output/destination device could be the TV. Alternatively, if the user wants to listen
`
`to music, the input/source could be the tuner, and the output/destination could be
`
`the amplifier.
`
`‘
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 6
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`22.
`
`Fig. 1 of the ‘831 publication illustrates an exemplary home
`
`entertainment system including multiple devices which can be configured in
`
`various configurations using different source devices and different destination
`
`devices. See Ex. 1005, Fig. 1 and paragraph 0017. The ‘831 publication refers to
`
`the particular components that support a user activity as an activity set. Ex. 1005 ,
`
`paragraph 0018.
`
`23.
`
`It is my understanding, as one skilled in the art, that the cable interface
`
`114 and the satellite receiver 115 are connected to the VCR 113 and may be
`
`selected as input source devices thereto. Similarly, the television 110 and the
`
`audio system 111 are connected the VCR and may be used as output destination
`
`devices thereof. See Ex, 1005, Fig. 1 and paragraph 0017. The lines used in Fig. 1
`
`to connect these devices are conventionally used to show such connections
`
`between components.
`
`24.
`
`It is my understanding, as one skilled in the art, that Fig. 4 of the ‘831
`
`publication illustrates different configurations (activity sets) of input and output
`
`devices that are used to perform certain activities desired by the user. See Ex.
`
`1005, Figs. 1 and 4 and paragraphs 0014 and 00028. As illustrated in Fig. 4, the
`
`Watch TV activity may use either cable interface 114 or the satellite receiver 115
`
`as an input source device and either the television 110 (TV) or the audio system
`
`111 (Surround) as an output destination device. The VCR 113 is the only device
`
`
`-
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 7
`
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`that is connected to all of these input and output devices and routes information
`
`among all of the input and output devices.
`
`25.
`
`In light of the above, it is my understanding that the ‘831 publication
`
`discloses that the VCR 113 will select either the cable interface 114 or the satellite
`
`receiver 115 as an input device and the television 110 (TV) or the audio system
`
`111 (Surround) as an output device for audio, at least, based on the specific activity
`
`that is desired.
`
`26.
`
`The ‘831 publication discloses that activation of a key on the remote
`
`control 150 invokes the desired activity (activity set). Ex. 1005, paragraph 0031.
`
`Activation of this key also results in transmission of commands to components of
`
`the entertainment system, as Patent Owner acknowledges in its Response. See
`
`Paper 16, p. 17. Based on the above, these commands, which are associated with
`
`the activity set are retrieved, including commands sent to the VCR 113 to provide
`
`the desired input device and the desired output destination device for the activity.
`
`27.
`
`The ‘831 publication also discloses that an activity set may be built or
`
`selected by manipulating graphic objects. Ex. 1005 , paragraph 0035.
`
`Manipulation of graphic objects would take place on a display screen using some
`
`sort of graphical user interface, as l\/Ir. Cook acknolwedges. Ex. 1054, p. 711, l. 19
`
`to p. 712, l. 8. The ‘831 publication discloses a display device that dispays a menu
`
`related to the activity set. Ex. 1005 , paragraph 0031. In addition, the ‘831
`
`‘
`
`Universal Remote Control Exhibit 1055: Page 3
`
`Case No. IPR2014-1146
`
`

`
`publication discloses a personal computer, which would typically have a display
`
`device, as Mr. Cook acknowledges. Ex. 1054, p. 718, 11. 12-17. In either case, it is
`
`my understanding as one skilled in the art that the display is associated with the
`
`VCR 113 which is used to invoke the activy set that is either set up or otherwise
`
`displayed on these display elements.
`
`
`
`Availabili for Cross-Examination
`
`28.
`
`In signing this declaration, I recognize that the declaration may be filed
`
`as evidence in a contested case before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office. I also recognize that I may be subject
`
`to cross examination in the case and that cross examination will take place within
`
`the United States. If cross examination is required of me, I will cooperate to the
`
`best of my ability to appear for cross examination within the United States during
`
`the time allotted for cross examination.
`
`Right to Supplement
`
`29.
`
`I reserve the right to supplement my opinions in the future to respond to
`
`any arguments that the Patent Owner raises and to take into account new
`
`information as it becomes available to me.
`
`Jurat
`
`30.
`
`I declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are true
`

`
`

`
`and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true; and
`
`further that these statements were made with the knowledge that willful false
`
`statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both,
`
