`
`OVERVIEW
`
` Patent Owner did not separately challenge Petitioners’
`grounds that Whitley and the SIM Specification disclose the
`limitations of independent claims 24 and 29 (as distinct from
`claim 1), thereby conceding that these claims will fall with
`independent claim 1.
` Patent Owner did not separately challenge Petitioners’
`grounds against claims 3, 5, 12-13, 15, 18, and 22, thereby
`conceding that these claims will fall with independent claim 1,
`from which they depend.
` Based on the record before the Board, claims 1, 3, 5-6, 10-13,
`15-24 and 29 of the ’717 patent are obvious over the prior art
`and should be cancelled.

`WHITLEY – INCLUDES A SIM CARD FOR SENDING
`AND RECEIVING SMS MESSAGES
`
`Gateway 20 sends and receives SMS messages via and as part of
`the architecture of a GSM network… These messages can be
`formulated and read by a SIM or “Subscriber Identity Module” card...
`When an SMS message is received at the gateway 20, the gateway
`20 reads the SMS message from the SIM card and processes the
`contents of the SMS message as though it was entered directly from
`a command console.

`
`PATENT OWNER’S ARGUMENTS REGARDING THE
`AUTHENTICATION LIMITATION
`
`M2M does not dispute that the SIM card includes memory that stores
`the one or more stored telephone numbers or IP addresses.
`M2M focuses its arguments regarding this limitation on:
`(1) whether the FDN is an outbound restrictive calling list
`(2) which component performs the claimed functional
`limitations of this element
`(3) whether the SMS over GPRS transmissions are wireless
`packet switched data messages
`(4) whether the update commands are provided in wireless
`transmissions received by the processor, and
`(5) whether Petitioners provided sufficient evidence to support
`the combination of Whitley and the SIM Specification

`
`
`CLAIM CONSTRUCTION – NO OUTBOUND RESTRICTIVE
`CALLING LIST REQUIRED BY THE CLAIMS
`
`Patent Owner contends that the “one or more stored telephone
`numbers or IP addresses being numbers to which the programmable
`communicator device is configured to and permitted to send
`outgoing wireless transmissions” requires an “outbound restrictive
`calling list.” This should be rejected.

`… An early use of wireless devices that required updating was a vehicle

`would be required to each of the wireless device-equipped vehicles to
`manually enter the CHV2 (equivalent to the PIN2) or PUK2 to update the
`reporting server IP address… By contrast, sending a single message with
`both the IP address or telephone number and the CHV2 or PUK2 code to
`each remotely-located device could be completed in a single day (and
`possibly less than an hour depending on the number of vehicles in the
`fleet…

`
`Motivation to combine inquiry:
`Is a reason for a person of ordinary skill in the art to modify
`a prior art references, which may be found explicitly or
`implicitly in market forces, design incentives, the
`interrelated teachings of multiple patents, any need or
`problem known in the field of endeavor at time of invention
`and addressed by the patent, and the background,
`knowledge, creativity, and common sense of the person of
`ordinary skill?

`CONCLUSION

`
`
`
`CONCLUSION
`
` Patent Owner did not separately challenge Petitioners’
`grounds that Whitley and the SIM Specification disclose the
`limitations of independent claims 24 and 29 (as distinct from
`claim 1), thereby conceding that these claims will fall with
`independent claim 1.
` Patent Owner did not separately challenge Petitioners’
`grounds against claims 3, 5, 12-13, 15, 18, and 22, thereby
`conceding that these claims will fall with independent claim 1,
`from which they depend.
` Based on the record before the Board, claims 1, 3, 5-6, 10-13,
`15-24 and 29 of the ’717 patent are obvious over the prior art
`and should be cancelled.
