`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0110IPR3
`
`On May 20, 2016, Patent Owner filed its Motion for Observations on the
`
`Cross Examination of Dr. Jeffrey Stein. (“POM,” Paper 22.) Petitioner
`
`respectfully submits the following responses to each of the Patent Owner’s
`
`observations.
`
`A. Observation 1
`
`Patent Owner’s observation is not relevant because Dr. Stein’s deposition
`
`testimony is not inconsistent with his declaration testimony. On pages 6-7 of Ex.
`
`2218, Dr. Stein stated that if he were teaching his students about the factors that
`
`“contribute to the torque required to propel [] vehicles,” then he would discuss
`
`“lots of different issues,” including: “the inertia of the vehicle and, therefore, the
`
`acceleration of the vehicle . . . the acceleration of any rotating parts, friction of
`
`rotating parts, aerodynamic drag considerations, so moving the vehicle through the
`
`air, the wind, grade.” (Stein Tr., Ex. 2218 at 6:11-7:5.)
`
`This is not relevant to Dr. Stein’s cited declaration testimony, which
`
`addresses Patent Owner’s arguments to add limitations to the challenged claims,
`
`e.g., “the engine is brought into operation” and “a comparison of the RL to a
`
`setpoint (SP) results in a determination that.” (Reply Decl., Ex. 1237, ¶¶10-16.)
`
`Patent Owner further states that this “testimony is relevant because it calls
`
`into question Dr. Stein’s reply declaration testimony that U.S. Patent No.
`
`5,343,970 (‘the ’970 patent’) uses road load.” (POM at 1.) Here, Patent Owner
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No.: IPR2015-00792
`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0110IPR3
`
`
`appears to be re-arguing for an interpretation of “road load” that it includes how
`
`“road load” is determined, by importing external torque requirements, e.g., that
`
`one must separately measure/determine external “factors such as aerodynamic
`
`drag, wind, grade, and acceleration.” (POM at 1.) In IPR2014-00875, the Board
`
`rejected such an interpretation of “road load.” (See ‘875 Final Decision, Ex. 1248
`
`at 10-11.) Further, during the Oral Hearing for IPR2014-00875, Patent Owner’s
`
`counsel admitted that the ‘347 Patent (which shares a specification with the ‘388
`
`Patent and the ‘634 Patent) does not disclose how “road load” is determined. (See
`
`Oral Hearing Tr. 2015, Ex. 1247 at 41:10-19.)
