`
`A session transfer lnodule ofa session server provides the
`capability-' to an user lo direct a transfer of‘ an o11—g-oing session
`from one device to another device while lnaintaining the
`session. The session transfer module is invoked by El user in
`a way consistent with the user interface of the client suppli-
`cation, including by st graphical user conlniantl, s cotmnand
`line prompt, or a voice command. The client provides a
`selection of possible devices that rna'_I,! receive the redirected
`session. The session transfer mo-dnle receives the selected
`device willl Ihe session redi_rec1 command over a commu-
`nication network. The comrnnnication nerworlc may be

`
`
`Petitioner requested cancellation of claims 1-6, 8-11, 13-15, 17, 18, 20, and 34
`(total of 17 claims) of the challenged patent for anticipation and/or
`obviousness under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103.
`
`The Claims at issue are:
`
`Claim 1 is anticipated by Phan San Jose.
`Claims 4–6 and 8–11 are obvious over Phan San Jose in view of Phan Helsinki.

`
`Claim 1 is anticipated by Phan San Jose.
`
`Claim 1. A method for redirecting an on-going, software
`based session comprising:
`conducting a session with a first device;
`specifying a second device;
`discontinuing said session on said first device; and
`transmitting a session history of said first device from
`said first device to a session transfer module after said
`session is discontinued on said first device; and
`resuming said session on said second device with said
`session history.
`
`5
`
`
`
`Claim 1 requires the following:
`• A first device;
`• A second device;
`• A discontinuing step;
`• A transmitting step;
`• A resuming step;
`• A session history
`
`Claim 1 must be interpreted using the “broadest reasonable
`construction in light of the specification of the patent in which
`[they] appear[]” 37 C.F.R. section 42.100(b); see Office Patent
`Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,766 (Aug. 14, 2012);
`In re Cuozzo Speed Techs., LLC, 778 F.3d 1271, 1278-82 (Fed. Cir.
`2015).

`
`
`Issue #1 “Push” and “Pull”
`
`“Push” is not a claim limitation.
`
`Patent Owner argues that:
`
`Phan San Jose’s session transfer mechanism does not work by a push
`•
`mechanism.
`
`Instead, Phan San Jose’s session transfer mechanism works by a pull
`•
`mechanism.
`
`7
`
`
`
`Issue #1 “Push” and “Pull”
`
`But this distinction is irrelevant because the “push” limitation is
`not in any of the claims under review, i.e. claims 1, 4–6, and 8–11.
`
`Claim 1. A method for redirecting an on-going,
`software based session comprising:
`conducting a session with a first device;
`specifying a second device;
`discontinuing said session on said first device;
`
`and
`
`transmitting a session history of said first
`device from said first device to a session transfer
`module after said session is discontinued on said
`first device; and
`resuming said session on said second device
`with said session history.
`

`
`
`
`Issue #1 “Push” and “Pull”
`
`Conclusion
`
`Claim 1 encompasses any type of session transfer mechanism, whether
`push mode, pull mode, or any other type.
`
`Phan San Jose’s pull mode of session transfer operates by “transmitting a
`session history … after said session is discontinued.”

`Corresponding text at pg. 11, right col.
`
`If the user selects a ‘Suspend’ operation,
`his session shall be saved back to the
`MWS,
`allowing
`the
`application
`to
`terminate, and at a later time the session
`can be reinstantiated by the Teaching File
`application
`running
`on
`the
`target
`machine.
`

`
`
`
`Issue #2 Order of Steps
`
`No particular ordering of steps required.
`
`Patent Owner argues that:
`
` Figures 1-3 in Phan San Jose do not show “specifying a
`second device.”
`
` Implicit reasoning: The step of “specifying a second
`device” must occur before the step of discontinuing
`and saving the session.

`
`
`
`Issue # Order of Steps
`
`Patent Owner is arguing that “specifying a second device” must occur in
`a particular sequential order of the steps.
`
`The patent’s own specification contradicts this:
`
`In particular, although the method of the
`present invention has been described by
`examples, the steps of the method may be
`performed in a different order than illustrated
`or simultaneously.
`
`@col. 9, lns. 22-25
`(italics added).
`
`Patent Owner’s narrow interpretation requiring a specific ordering of
`steps contradicts the broadest reasonable interpretation of Claim 1.
`
`12
`
`
`
`Conclusion
`
`Claim 1 is anticipated by Phan San Jose
`
`13
`
`
`
`Claims 4-6 and 8-11 depend from claim 1. Since Phan Helsinki provides
`additional limitations recited in claims 4-6 and 8-11, hence Claims 4–6 and 8–
`11 are obvious over Phan San Jose in view of Phan Helsinki.
`
`No rebuttal for dependent claims 4-6 and 8-11.
`
`Patent Owner has no arguments specifically directed against
`the challenge to claims 4-6 and 8-11.
`
`The Board’s reasoning on the obviousness of claims 4-6 and 8-
`11 over Phan San Jose in view of Phan Helsinki is unrebutted.
