`
`INTRODUCTION AND PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`Petitioner1 requests rehearing of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s
`
`Decision entered January 6, 2016 (“Institution Decision”) denying review of
`
`claims 7-10 and 12, which ordered review of claims 1-4 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,777,753 (“the ’753 patent”). Petitioner specifically requests that the Board
`
`reconsider its decision denying inter partes review of claims 7-10 of the ’753
`
`patent based on Gulick, MPEG, and Shanley, and of claim 12 of the ’753 patent
`
`based on Gulick, MPEG, Shanley, and Gove.
`
`II. LEGAL STANDARD
`“A party dissatisfied with a decision may file a request for rehearing.”
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d). “The request must specifically identify all matters the party
`
`believes the Board misapprehended or overlooked, and the place where each
`
`matter was previously addressed in a motion, an opposition, or a reply.” Id.
`
`Institution decisions are reviewed on rehearing for an abuse of discretion.
`
`See 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(c). An abuse of discretion occurs when a “decision [i]s
`
`based on an erroneous conclusion of law or clearly erroneous factual findings,
`
`or . . . a clear error of judgment.” Apple Inc. v. DSS Technology Management, Inc.,
`
`
`1 “Petitioner” refers collectively to HTC Corporation, HTC America, Inc., LG
`
`Electronics, Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Samsung Electronics
`
`America, Inc.

`
`IPR2015-00369, Paper No. 14 at 3 (August 12, 2015) (citing PPG Indus. Inc. v.
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`Celanese Polymer Specialties Co., 840 F.2d 1565, 1567 (Fed. Cir. 1988)).
`
`III. STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED
`The Institution Decision relied on the following two conclusions in deciding
`
`to not institute inter partes review of claims 7-10 and 12:
`
`1. “Because multimedia memory 160 exists in addition to main memory
`
`110 and because CPU 102 uses multimedia memory 160 only in
`
`exceptional circumstances, we are not persuaded that multimedia
`
`memory 160 teaches or suggests the shared ‘main memory’ of claim 1 or
`
`‘memory’ of claim 7.” Institution Decision at 18.
`
`2. “Neither Petitioner nor its declarant explains in sufficient detail why or
`
`how a person of ordinary skill in the art would have modified Gulick’s
`
`system in view of MPEG to provide the recited structures for accessing
`
`Gulick’s ‘main memory’ or to perform the functions recited for video
`
`decoding or decompression.” Institution Decision at 20 (emphasis
`
`added).
`
`Petitioner requests reconsideration of the Institution Decision for two
`
`reasons. First, the Institution Decision’s conclusion that “multimedia memory 160
`
`[does not] teach[] or suggest[] the shared … ‘memory’ of claim 7” relies on
`
`improperly reading into the claims the requirements that there be only one shared
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`memory in the system and that such a memory be accessed regularly. Second, in
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`concluding that the Petition had not shown that “a person of ordinary skill in the art
`
`would have modified Gulick’s system in view of MPEG to provide the recited
`
`structures for accessing Gulick’s ‘main memory’ or to perform the functions
`
`recited for video decoding or decompression,”
`
`the Institution Decision
`
`misapprehended that claim 7 merely requires a “memory,” not a “main memory,”
`
`and overlooked detailed evidence and argument as to why and how the memory of
`
`Gulick would have been modified as claimed.
`
`A. The Institution Decision improperly read in limitations from the
`written description in concluding that the multimedia memory
`160 does not teach or suggest the shared memory of claims 7-10
`and 12.
`
`
`
`It is improper to read in claim limitations from the written description.
`
`Superguide Corp. v. DirecTV Enterprises, Inc., 358 F.3d 870, 875 (Fed. Cir. 2004)
`
`(“Though understanding the claim language may be aided by explanations
`
`contained in the written description, it is important not to import into a claim
`
`limitations that are not part of the claim.”); Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303,
`
`1320 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc) (“one of the cardinal sins of patent law-- reading a
`
`limitation from the written description into the claims”). The Institution Decision,
`
`however, appears to have done just that in concluding that the multimedia memory
`
`160 does not teach the shared memory of claim 7 “because multimedia memory
`
`160 exists in addition to main memory 110 and because CPU 102 uses multimedia
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`memory 160 only in exceptional circumstances.” Claim 7 of the ’753 patent does
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`not include limitations that there must be no more than one single shared memory
`
`or that the CPU’s access to the memory must be regular or all the time.
`
`
`
`
`
`1. Claims 7-10 and 12 do not include a limitation that only one
`single shared memory be present.
`
`Claims 7-10 and 12 require “a memory” that is shared between a central
`
`processing unit and a decoder. None of these claims,2 however, include a
`
`limitation that there must be no more than one single shared memory. The
`
`Institution Decision explains that the specification discusses a single shared
`
`memory:
`
`“The ’753 patent describes decoder/encoder 80 and a first
`device using a single memory. See, e.g., Ex. 1001, Figs.
`2-4. Gulick, in contrast, describes main memory 110 in
`addition to multimedia memory 160. Ex. 1017, Figs. 1, 4,
`and 6. The system described in Gulick does not,
`therefore, realize the advantage of sharing a single
`memory described by the ’753 patent. Ex. 1001, col. 5, ll.
`13-15, 47-51.” Institution Decision at 17.
`
`
`2 In fact, no ’753 patent claim provides a limitation that there must be only one
`
`single shared memory.
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`But interpreting the claims to limit the number of shared memories to no more than
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`one constitutes an improper importation of a limitation from the written
`
`description.
`
`
`
`The claims simply require that at least one memory be shared. Gulick
`
`satisfies this claim element because it discloses that “a memory,” which is
`
`identified in the Petition as Gulick’s “multimedia memory 160,” is shared by the
`
`CPU 102 and multimedia engine 112. For example, as explained in the Petition,
`
`“CPU 102 also can execute applications software and driver software from
`
`multimedia memory 160 and writes any associated video and audio data to
`
`multimedia memory 160.” Petition at 17 (further referenced in IX.A.5.d and
`
`IX.A.5.e). In support, the Petition further repeated Gulick’s statement that “[t]hus
`
`the multimedia memory 160 is available to store non-multimedia data as needed.
`
`Accordingly, the multimedia engine 112 and CPU 102 must also arbitrate for
`
`access to the multimedia memory 160.” Ex. 1017, Gulick at 8:2-5 [cited in
`
`Petition at 17 (section IX.A.1.e), further referenced in IX.A.5.d and IX.A.5.e.].
`
`Furthermore, as explained in the Petition, “the one or more DSP engines 210 in the
`
`multimedia engine 112 read the commands and data from the multimedia memory
`
`160 and perform the necessary graphics and audio processing 40 functions to
`
`generate the appropriate video and audio signals to the video and audio ports 172
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`and 174.” Petition at 13 (section IX.A.1.d), further referenced in IX.A.5.c. (citing
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`Gulick, Ex. 1017 at 7:37-42).
`
`2. Claims 7-10 and 12 do not include a limitation that the shared
`“memory” must be used regularly or all the time by the central
`processing unit.
`
`Claims 7-10 and 12 simply require that a central processing unit “access” the
`
`memory. See, e.g., Ex. 1001, ’753 patent, claim 7 (“a central processing unit
`
`coupled to the bus for accessing the memory”). None of these claims3, however,
`
`include a limitation that such “access” must be regular or continuous. Even if
`
`Gulick’s CPU 102 “accesses” the “multimedia memory 160” only for “overflow
`
`memory space,” this is irrelevant. The claims simply require the CPU have access
`
`to the “memory.” It is undisputed that Gulick’s CPU 102 accesses Gulick’s
`
`multimedia memory 160. See, e.g., Institution Decision at 17 (“Gulick further
`
`describes CPU 102 using multimedia memory 160 only
`
`in exceptional
`
`circumstances, such as when main memory 110 is full.”). Furthermore, as
`
`explained in the Petition, “CPU 102 also can execute applications software and
`
`driver software from multimedia memory 160 and writes any associated video and
`
`audio data to multimedia memory 160.” Petition at 17 (further referenced in
`
`IX.A.5.d and IX.A.5.e). See also Id. (citing Gulick, Ex. 1017 at 8:2-5) (“Thus the
`
`3 In fact, no ’753 patent claim provides a limitation that access to the memory must
`
`be regular or all the time.
`
`6
`
`
`
`
`multimedia memory 160 is available to store non-multimedia data as needed.
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`Accordingly, the multimedia engine 112 and CPU 102 must also arbitrate for
`
`access to the multimedia memory 160.”).]. See also Ex. 1017 at 4:36-38 (“[I]f the
`
`main memory 110 becomes full and additional memory is needed, the CPU 102
`
`can store code and data in the multimedia memory 160.”) (cited in Ex. 1030 at 40,
`
`¶ 92 (section VII.A.1.c), referenced in Petition at 12 (section IX.A.1.c), further
`
`referenced in IX.A.5.b.).
`
`B.
`
`The Institution Decision misapprehended the claims and
`overlooked Petitioner’s argument in concluding that the Petition
`had not shown “why or how a person of ordinary skill in the art
`would have modified Gulick’s system in view of MPEG to provide
`the recited structures for accessing Gulick’s ‘main memory’ or to
`perform the functions recited for video decoding or
`decompression.”
`
`The Institution Decision misapprehended the claims and overlooked
`
`Petitioner’s argument that a person of ordinary skill in the art would have been
`
`motivated to combine Gulick with MPEG. First, the Institution Decision
`
`misapprehended that claims 7-10 and 12 merely require a “memory,” not a “main
`
`memory.” Second, the Institution Decision overlooked support that the Petitioner
`
`offered to explain why one of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated
`
`to combine Gulick with MPEG to provide the recited features of these claims.
`
`1. Whether “a person of ordinary skill in the art would have
`modified Gulick’s system in view of MPEG to provide the
`recited structures for accessing Gulick’s ‘main memory’” is
`
`7
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`irrelevant because claims 7-10 and 12 simply require “a
`memory” and not a “main memory.”
`
`Unlike claims 1-4 of the ’753 patent, which require a “main memory,”
`
`claims 7-10 and 12 simply require a “memory.” Compare Ex. 1001, claim 7 (“7.
`
`An electronic circuit for use with a memory”) with Ex. 1001, claim 1 (“1. An
`
`electronic system comprising: … a main memory”). However, the Institution
`
`Decision appears to have not instituted inter partes review, at least in part, on its
`
`conclusion that Petitioner did not explain why “a person of ordinary skill in the art
`
`would equate Gulick’s multimedia memory 160 with main memory 110 for
`
`purposes of implementing MPEG standards on Gulick’s system.” Institution
`
`Decision at 19.
`
`To the extent the Institution Decision was based on the conclusion that “a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would [not] have modified Gulick’s system in
`
`view of MPEG to provide the recited structures for accessing Gulick’s ‘main
`
`memory’,” (Institution Decision at 20) it misapprehended that claims 7-10 and 12
`
`merely require a “memory,” not a “main memory.” Furthermore, the Petition
`
`addressed why a person of ordinary skill in the art would have modified Gulick’s
`
`system in view of MPEG to provide the recited structures for accessing “a
`
`memory,” namely Gulick’s “multimedia memory 160.” For example:
`
`• “Gulick 983, in view of MPEG Standard, also discloses multimedia
`
`engine 112 (the claimed “decoder”) coupled to memory bus 108 (the
`
`8
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`claimed ‘bus’) for receiving MPEG-coded video images (the claimed
`
`‘encoded video images’) and for outputting MPEG-decoded video
`
`images (the claimed ‘decoded video images’) for display on video
`
`monitor 114 (the claimed ‘display device’), multimedia engine 112
`
`configured
`
`to
`
`receive data
`
`from multimedia memory 160
`
`corresponding to at least one MPEG I-picture or P-picture (the
`
`claimed ‘previously decoded image’) and to a current MPEG video
`
`image to be decoded and outputting an MPEG-decoded current video
`
`image to be displayed.” Petition at 29 (emphasis added).
`
`• “One of ordinary skill in the art would have recognized that such I-
`
`pictures or P-pictures would have been stored in multimedia memory
`
`160 in the combined system of Gulick 983 and MPEG Standard in
`
`view of the disclosure in Gulick 983 to store similar multimedia data
`
`in multimedia memory 160. See Ex. 1030, Stone Decl. at ¶¶ 131-34.”
`
`Petition at 29-30 (emphasis added).
`
`2. The Institution Decision overlooked Petitioner’s support for
`why “a person of ordinary skill in the art would have modified
`Gulick’s system in view of MPEG … to perform the functions
`recited for video decoding or decompression.”
`
`The Institution Decision concluded that Petitioner did not support why “a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would have modified Gulick’s system in view of
`
`MPEG … to perform the functions recited for video decoding or decompression.”
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`Institution Decision at 19-20. However, the Institution Decision overlooks support
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`provided in the Petition for why one of ordinary skill in the art would have
`
`modified the multimedia engine 112 to perform MPEG video decoding. Simply
`
`put, as explained in the Petition, Gulick’s multimedia engine 112 included the
`
`specific circuitry, namely one or more digital signal processors (DSPs), that was
`
`commonly used by those of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged
`
`invention to provide MPEG decoding functionality.
`
`As explained in the Petition, Gulick’s multimedia engine 112 processed
`
`multimedia (e.g., video and audio) data:
`
`• “The multimedia engine 112 performs video and audio processing
`
`functions.” Ex. 1017 at 4:16-18 [cited in Petition at 13 (section
`
`IX.A.1.d), referenced in IX.A.5.c; Ex. 1030 at ¶94 (VII.A.1.d),
`
`referenced in VII.A.5.c.].
`
` As stated in the Petition, Gulick’s multimedia engine 112 included a digital
`
`signal processor (DSP) for processing multimedia data:
`
`• “In the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the multimedia engine
`
`112 includes one DSP engine 210 which preferably performs video
`
`and audio processing functions.” Ex. 1017 at 5:15-18 (emphasis
`
`added) [cited in Petition at 13 (section IX.A.1.d), referenced in
`
`10
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`IX.A.5.c; Ex. 1030 at ¶94 (section VII.A.1.d), further referenced in
`
`VII.A.5.c.].
`
`• “[T]he one or more DSP engines 210 in the multimedia engine 112
`
`read the commands and data from the multimedia memory 160 and
`
`perform the necessary graphics and audio processing 40 functions to
`
`generate the appropriate video and audio signals to the video and
`
`audio ports 172 and 174.” Ex. 1017 at 7:37-42 [cited in Petition at 13
`
`(IX.A.1.d), referenced in IX.A.5.c; Ex. 1030 at ¶94 (VII.A.1.d),
`
`referenced in VII.A.5.c.].
`
`
`
`Ex. 1017 at FIG. 2 (showing DSP Engine 210 in multimedia engine
`
`112) [shown in Petition at 14 (IX.A.1.d) , 30 (IX.A.5.c); Ex. 1030 at ¶
`
`94 (VII.A.1.d), ¶133 (VII.A.5.c).]. See also Ex. 1017 at FIG. 3
`
`(showing three DSP engines (e.g., 212, 214, and 216) in multimedia
`
`engine 112) [shown in Petition at 30 (IX.A.5.c); Ex. 1030 at ¶ 133
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01501
`
`(VII.A.5.c).]; Ex. 1017 at FIG. 5 (showing DSP Engine 210 in
`
`multimedia engine 112) [shown in Petition at 32 (IX.A.5.e) and 37
`
`(IX.B.1.a); Ex. 1030 at ¶ 138 (VII.A.5.e) and ¶ 149 (VII.B.1.a).].
`
`Furthermore, the Petition explained that one of ordinary skill would have
`
`been further motivated to modify Gulick’s multimedia engine 112, which included
`
`a DSP, to perform MPEG decoding because “it was well known in the art at the
`
`time of the alleged invention to employ a DSP for MPEG video processing. See
`
`Ex. 1017, 5:15-21; Ex. 1007, 1:62-67, Fig. 5.” Petition at 16 (section IX.A.1.d);
`
`see also Petition at 29-30 (section IX.A.5.c). See also Petition at 24 (“For the
`
`reasons described in Section IX.A.1.d, it would have been obvious for Gulick
`
`983’s DSP engine 210 within multimedia engine 112 to be further modified with
`
`these teachings of MPEG Standard, and for multimedia memory 160 to be used to
`
`store the previously decoded MPEG video images used for subsequent MPEG
`
`decoding.”) (emphasis added).
`
`To further support this, the Petition included the following:
`
`• “[T]he one or more DSP engines 210 in the multimedia engine 112
`
`read the commands and data from the multimedia memory 160 and
`
`perform the necessary graphics and audio processing 40 functions to

`
`audio ports 172 and 174.” Ex. 1017 at 7:37-42 (emphasis added)

`
`referenced at 59 (¶131) in VII.A.5.c, referenced in Petition at 16 (“see
