`
`IV. ANALYSIS AND OPINIONS
`A. Dr. Wolf’s Opinions Regarding A Person of Ordinary Skill in the
`Art (See Ex. 2005 ¶34)
`
`5.
`
`In my July 23, 2014 Declaration, I opined that a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art (“POSA”) relating to the technology of the ‘641 patent at the time at
`
`which the earliest patent application to which the ‘641 patent claims priority was
`
`filed (March 28, 2000) would have had a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical
`
`Engineering or Computer Science, or an equivalent field, and approximately 1-2
`
`years experience working with client/server architectures, Internet transmission
`
`protocols, wireless transmission protocols, Internet browsing programming, and
`
`streaming media transmission. Ex. 1023 ¶20; Ex. 1123 ¶20; Ex. 1223 ¶21. In my
`
`opinion, that same level of skill would apply to a POSA at the time at which App.
`
`No. 13/673,391 was filed (Nov. 9, 2012). In addition, I have reviewed Dr. Wolf’s
`
`opinion regarding the level of skill of a POSA in 2000, which is almost identical to
`

`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 B2
`mine (she adds the phrase “mobile and embedded systems”). Ex. 2005 ¶34. Under
`
`either my definition or Dr. Wolf’s definition, I would have met or exceeded the
`
`level of skill required in 2000 and 2012, and my opinions are the same.
`
`B. Dr. Wolf’s Opinions Regarding The Overview of the ‘641 Patent
`(See Ex. 2005 ¶¶44-52)
`
`6.
`
`Dr. Wolf asserts that the ‘641 patent “represents a substantial
`
`improvement over portable media player systems that existed at the time of
`
`invention.” Ex. 2005 ¶44. I disagree. As set forth in my July 23, 2014 Declarations,
`
`claims 1-3 and 5-14 of the ‘641 patent would have been obvious to a POSA in
`
`view of the combinations of prior art references that I cite therein. Ex. 1023 ¶30;
`
`Ex. 1123 ¶30; Ex. 1223 ¶31.
`
`7.
`
`Dr. Wolf also asserts that “[o]ne element of the claimed ‘641 patent
`
`invention is the novel approach for communicating media content from a network
`
`resource to a portable music device such as a cellular phone. For example, the ‘641
`
`patent disclosed novel techniques for how selected content could be formatted and
`
`transmitted to a portable device.” Ex. 2005 ¶46; see also ¶47. I disagree. The
`
`passage cited by Dr. Wolf (Ex. 1001 at 6:25-27) states “[i]n one embodiment, the
`
`selected information may be formatted and transmitted to achieve a desirable
`
`transmission rate.” This passage does not disclose any “novel approach” for
`
`communicating content. I have reviewed the ‘641 patent, including the passages
`
`cited by Dr. Wolf, and in my opinion, it does not disclose any “novel approach for
`
`
`

`
`

`
`Attorney Docket No.
`
`IPR2014-01181
`110797-0004-655
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 B2
`communicating media content from a network resource to a portable music
`
`device.” See Ex. 1001.
`
`8.
`
`Dr. Wolf further asserts that “[t]he claimed invention also offered a
`
`novel approach to facilitate a portable media device’s ability to choose various
`
`portions of selected content by requesting individual segmented portions of that
`
`content that are formatted for different data rates.” Ex. 2005 ¶49; see also Ex. 2005
`
`¶48. I disagree. I have reviewed the ‘641 patent, including the passages cited by
`
`Dr. Wolf, and in my opinion, they do not disclose this.
`
`9.
`
`Dr. Wolf also asserts that “the novel claimed portable music device is
`
`capable of sending data related to the media (such as song titles) so that the
`
`separate device can generate a graphical menu and operate to select specific media
`
`from the portable music device to play,” and that “[a]s a result, music stored or
`
`downloaded by the portable music device can be played and controlled by the
`
`separate device.” Ex. 2005 ¶51. I disagree. As explained in §IV.G,2 the ‘641 patent
`
`specification does not disclose sending data (i.e., metadata, such as a song title)
`
`about the selected audio information (i.e., the song) to a second device so that the
`
`second device can generate a graphical menu comprising a “selectable menu item.”
`
`2 Dr. Wolf repeats arguments numerous times throughout her declaration. In
`
`responding to these arguments, I have cross-referenced the paragraphs herein that
`
`more fully rebut the same argument.

`In addition, the ‘641 patent does not disclose that a streaming audio signal is
`
`communicated in response to a selection of a selectable menu item presented on a
`
`display of the second device.
`
`C. Dr. Wolf’s Opinions Regarding the Prior Art (See Ex. 2005 ¶¶54-
`105)
`1.
`U.S. Pat. No. 6,192,340 (“Abecassis”) (See Ex. 2005 ¶¶54-60)
`10. Regarding Abecassis (Ex. 1103), Dr. Wolf asserts that “Abecassis was
`
`before the examiner during prosecution of the ‘641 patent, and the claims of the
`
`‘641 patent were properly allowed over it.” Ex. 2005 ¶55. I disagree. Abecassis
`
`was cited during prosecution of the ‘641 patent among hundreds of other prior art
`
`references. See Ex. 1002. During prosecution of the ‘641 patent, the Examiner did
`
`not substantively discuss Abecassis, nor did the Examiner substantively discuss
`
`Abecassis in combination with Chennakeshu, Herrod, and/or Galensky. Id. As set
`
`forth in my July 23, 2014 Declaration, claims 1-3 and 5-14 of the ‘641 patent
`
`would have been obvious to a POSA over Abecassis in view of Chennakeshu,
`
`Herrod, and/or Galensky. Ex. 1123 ¶30.
`
`11. Dr. Wolf also states that “Abecassis describes an apparatus and
`
`method for playing music that is responsive to a user’s music preferences, as
`
`applied to a user’s audio library, such as via a remote control.” Ex. 2005 ¶56. Dr.
`
`Wolf leaves out, among other things, that Abecassis discloses a Multimedia Player
`
`that is a cellular phone (e.g., Ex. 1103 at 9:26-30) and includes components such as
`
`

`
`IPR2014-01181
`110797-0004-655
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 B2
`a microprocessor, non-volatile memory, a communications module, and visual
`
`display and audio output (e.g., Ex. 1103 at Fig 1, Fig 2, 5:25-34, 7:16-22, 8:52-
`
`9:4). See also, e.g., Ex. 1123 ¶¶32, 38-40, 53, 70-71. In addition, Abecassis
`
`discloses that the Multimedia Player can receive audio and transmit that audio to a
`
`second device, such as another Multimedia Player or a remote control. See, e.g.,
`
`Ex. 1103 at Fig 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, 1:52-65, 7:49-54, 8:52-67, 9:32-34, 10:34-45,
`
`12:28-31, 13:62-67, 14:60-65, 26:16-28; Ex. 1123 ¶¶32, 70-71. Abecassis further
`
`discloses that information about the audio can be sent from the Multimedia Player
`
`to a second device, such as a remote control, to generate a menu of audio choices
`
`for playback. See, e.g., Ex. 1103 at Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, 7:36-42, 9:31-37, 9:47-62,
`
`10:34-45, 13:62-67, 18:32-37, 18:63-19:30, 25:47-58; Ex. 1123 ¶¶32, 54-58; infra
`
`§IV.E.6. After selecting audio for playback, the remote control can receive from
`
`the Multimedia Player “a transmission and render it audible for the user through its
`
`built-in speaker or by means of headphones connected to the remote control.” Ex.
`
`1103 at 10:41-45; see also, e.g., Ex. 1103 at 1:1-12, 9:32-34, 10:38-45, 11:1-8,
`
`12:28-31, 13:62-67, 14:60-65; Ex. 1123 ¶¶32, 54-58, 70-71; infra §IV.E.6.
`
`12. Dr. Wolf opines that “Abecassis discloses a ‘graphical user interface,’
`
`. . . but the interface does not contain any selectable menu item that is associated
`
`with media content available from a separate wireless telephone device, or from a
`
`separate, portable media device.” Ex. 2005 ¶58. I disagree. As discussed in my
`
`
`
`11
`

`
`

`
`Attorney Docket No.
`
`IPR2014-01181
`110797-0004-655
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 B2
`July 23, 2014 Declaration and herein, Abecassis discloses that the wireless
`
`telephone device can communicate a collection of information about media content
`
`available from the wireless telephone device to a recipient device such that the
`
`recipient device can use the collection of information to generate a graphical menu
`
`comprising a selectable menu item associated with the available media content.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1103 at Fig. 3, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, 7:36-42, 9:31-37, 9:47-62, 10:34-45,
`
`13:62-67, 18:32-37, 18:63-19:30, 25:47-58; Ex. 1123 ¶¶32, 54-58; infra §IV.E.6.
`
`In addition, Abecassis discloses that upon selection of the selectable menu item, a
`
`streaming audio signal is communicated to the recipient device. See, e.g., Ex. 1103
`
`at 1:1-12, 7:49-51, 9:32-34, 10:38-45, 11:1-8, 12:28-33, 13:62-67, 14:60-65; Ex.
`
`1123 ¶¶32, 54-58, 70-71, 113; infra §IV.E.6.
`
`13. Dr. Wolf states that Abecassis does not disclose a “Bluetooth
`
`compliant signal to transmit an audio signal from one device to another.” Ex. 2005
`
`¶59. However, as discussed in my July 23, 2014 Declaration and herein, it would
`
`have been obvious to a POSA that “the wireless communication module” disclosed
`
`in Abecassis could be “compliant with a Bluetooth standard” as taught by
`
`Chennakeshu. See, e.g., Ex. 1123 ¶¶81-85; infra §IV.E.2, 8.
`
`14. Dr. Wolf asserts that Abecassis “fails to disclose that the transmission
`
`of an audio is streamed at a rate that allows for a CD-quality experience.” Ex. 2005
`
`¶60. I disagree. As discussed in my July 23, 2014 Declaration and herein,

`110797-0004-655
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 B2
`Abecassis and/or Abecassis in view of Chennakeshu teach that the Multimedia
`
`Player of Abecassis transfers audio at a rate that provides a CD-quality listening
`
`experience. See, e.g., Ex. 1103 at 2:41-53, 7:49-51, 9:32-34, 10:41-45, 12:28-34,
`
`13:62-67; Ex. 1105 at 4:60-5:15, Ex. 1007A; Ex. 1123 ¶¶123-126; infra §IV.E.3.
`
`2.
`
`U.S. Pat. No. 6,542,758 (“Chennakeshu”) (See Ex. 2005
`¶¶61-64)
`15. Regarding Chennakeshu (Ex. 1105), Dr. Wolf states that
`
`“Chennakeshu described a telephone for use in a vehicle, in particular one that
`
`could be controlled from the steering wheel,” (Ex. 2005 ¶62), and that
`
`“Chennakeshu discloses an ‘asynchronous data channel,’. . . which may be used to
`
`communicate a vehicle’s position, or diagnostic information about the vehicle”
`
`(Ex. 2005 ¶63). Among other things, Dr. Wolf leaves out, however, that
`
`Chennakeshu discloses a cellular phone that uses a Bluetooth module for
`
`communicating with a control unit in a vehicle and/or a separate hands-free unit.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1105 at 2:9-10, 4:24-39, 6:16-22; Ex. 1123 ¶33. Chennakeshu further
`
`teaches that the Bluetooth interface can be used to transmit data. See, e.g., Ex.
`
`1105 at 4:64-5:15 (“[t]he physical layer of the link provides a gross data rate of 1
`
`mbs with a frame period of 1.25 ms.”); Ex. 1123 ¶72.
`
`16. Dr. Wolf further argues that Chennakeshu “does not disclose the use
`
`of an asynchronous channel to ‘stream a signal representing at least a portion of a
`
`song.’” Ex. 2005 ¶64. I disagree. Chennakeshu specifically discloses that
`
`
`
`13
`
`Page 00018
`
`

`
`Attorney Docket No.
`
`IPR2014-01181
`110797-0004-655
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,532,641 B2
`Bluetooth is able to provide “a gross data rate of 1 mbs with a frame period of 1.25
`
`ms” and that Bluetooth provides an asynchronous data channel that can be used for
`
`transmitting data (Ex. 1105 at 5:2-15). Thus, Chennakeshu discloses that the
`
`asynchronous data channel of Bluetooth can be used to transfer data, including
`
`music data. Chennakeshu further incorporates by reference (see Ex. 1105 at 5:4-8)
`
`“Ericsson Review No. 3” (Ex. 1007A) which expressly discloses that one of the
`
`requirements for Bluetooth is that “[t]he connection must support voice and data—
`
`for instance, for multimedia applications.” Ex. 1007A at 112. Moreover, as
`
`discussed in my July 23, 2014 Declaration and herein, it would have been obvious
`
`to a POSA to use an asynchronous channel (which was conventional in the art and
`
`taught by Chennakeshu) to stream a song from a wireless telephone device to a
`
`second device (as taught by Abecassis). See Ex. 1123 ¶¶69-74, 77-79; infra
`
`§IV.E.7.
`
`17. Dr. Wolf asserts that Chennakeshu does not disclose a “‘graphical
`
`user interface’ that contains a selectable menu item associated with media content
`
`available from a separate wireless telephone device, or from a separate portable
`
`media device.” Ex. 2005 ¶64. However, in my July 23, 2014 Declaration, I
`
`explained that Abecassis discloses a graphical user interface that contains a
`
`selectable menu item associated with media content available from a wireless
`
`telephone device. See, e.g., Ex. 1123 ¶¶54-58, 70-71, 113; infra §IV.E.6.

`3.
`U.S. Pat. No. 6,405,049 (“Herrod”) (See Ex. 2005 ¶¶65-68)
`18. Regarding Herrod (Ex. 1106), Dr. Wolf asserts that “[Herrod]
`
`describes a system for the communication of data such as personal identification,
`
`current offers on retail products, the location of retail products, or map data.” Ex.
`
`2005 ¶67. However, Dr. Wolf leaves out, among other things, that Herrod teaches
`
`that its invention “relates to a portable data device or terminal and a terminal
`
`docking mounting device or cradle” (Ex. 1106 at 1:5-6) and that its system “can
`
`support multimedia applications” (Ex. 1106 at 18:55-59). In addition, Herrod
`
`discloses that its portable device can be a cellular telephone (e.g., Ex.
