`
`Motivation to Combine
`Sound Blaster, Lucente, and Ozawa
`
`“In my opinion, a person of ordinary skill in the art would consider the teachings of each of Sound Blaster,
`Lucente, and Ozawa to be pertinent in designing a digital audio player, such as a computer with digital audio
`playback capability… A person of ordinary skill in the art would therefore consider Sound Blaster, Lucente, and
`Ozawa to be within the same field and would naturally consider the teachings of one to be relevant to the
`other…
`“In my opinion, a person of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that the functionality provided by the
`software taught by Sound Blaster, including recording and storing audio files, would provide similar benefits in
`a portable personal computer using a touch screen interface, such as the pen computer discussed in Lucente,
`for the same reason they would be beneficial in a personal computer (whether a desktop or laptop) using an
`interface such as a mouse… Lucente teaches that the touch screen computer it describes is intended to
`maintain the capability to be used for a wide range of software programs… In light of this overlap, and the
`similarity between the audio subsystems and audio input and output hardware of Sound Blaster and Lucente, a
`person of ordinary skill in the art would be motivated to combine a system with the flexibility, portability, and
`ease of use of Lucente with the audio management capabilities of Sound Blaster. Similarly, a person of ordinary
`skill in the art would recognize that the downloaded library of Ozawa could be improved using the
`organizational methods (e.g. sorting into playlists) of Sound Blaster…
`“In my opinion, combining the elements claimed by Challenged Claims of the 403 Patent into a single unit
`would not produce any benefits that would not be readily apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art
`familiar with the teachings of Sound Blaster, Lucente, and Ozawa.”

`Schmandt Rebuttal Declaration:
`•
`[S]ound functionality for a variety of computing devices,
`including laptops and tablets with touch screens, was well-
`known at the time of the alleged invention, and a person of
`ordinary skill in the art would understand that the basic
`software concepts illustrated in Sound Blaster, including the
`use and management of playlists, could be adapted to work
`in a variety of computer systems having the appropriate
`hardware to play back sound files stored in memory, and
`would have a reasonable expectation of success… Ex. 1010,
`¶61.
`[A] person of ordinary skill in the art would understand the
`teachings of the Sound Blaster reference to be applicable to
`other types of busses or connections beyond the specific ISA
`example used on that particular card. Id., ¶62.
`The purpose of using a standard bus such as ISA, PCI, or MCA
`is to provide a common interface for hardware designers to
`allow their components to connect. Adapting hardware such
`as a sound card to utilize a known bus standard would have
`been a routine task well within the ability of a person of
`ordinary skill in the art, and would not have required undue
`experimentation. Id.
`Lucente discloses the use of Mwave Audio. Mwave audio was
`SoundBlaster compatible. Id., ¶63.

`Ozawa describes a portable audio device that
`uses personal computer technology (e.g. ISA,
`AT and PCT buses - Ozawa at 7: 27- 38; 9: 15-
`23) for the input and storage of audio, along
`with dedicated push-button controls such as
`direction, input and mode keys (e.g. fast-
`forward, play, rewind, stop and pause keys)
`are on the front panel of the housing for
`controlling playback of stored audio. The
`Ozawa device allows a user to selectively
`download music from a network service
`center, save that music to a hard disc within
`the player, and listen to music through
`headphones. The Ozawa device fits in a
`single rectangular housing and includes a
`CPU, RAM, hard disc for storing audio data,
`LCD display, 20 modem, headphone terminal
`and microphone terminal on its upper
