`
`I, Dr. Brad Myers, have previously been asked by Apple (“Petitioner”) to
`
`testify as an expert witness in this action. As part of my work in this action, I have
`
`been asked by the Petitioner to respond to certain assertions offered by Core
`
`Wireless (“Patent Owner” or “PO”) concerning U.S. Patent No. 8,434,020 (“the
`
`‘020 patent”) in this proceeding, IPR2015-01898. I hereby declare, under penalty
`
`of perjury under the laws of the United States of America, as follows:1
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION

`
`I previously executed a Declaration in this proceeding on September
`
`11, 2015, as Exhibit 1003. My experience, qualifications, and compensation are
`
`provided in this prior Declaration (¶¶ 2-8) and curriculum vitae (Appendix A
`
`attached to Exhibit Ex. 1003).
`
`2.
`
`In this Declaration, I respond to certain assertions in Patent Owner
`
`Core Wireless’s Response (“Opp.”) (Paper No. 18) and Mr. Scott Denning’s
`
`Declaration (Ex.2011) submitted on July 15, 2016.

`
`II. OPINIONS
`
`A.
`
`6.
`
`“application” (claims 1, 16)
`
`I understand PO construes “application” to mean “an ‘application’
`
`exists in a particular software architecture having an operating system that can
`
`manage multiple executables (e.g. applications), and an application can be
`
`launched to access its associated functions and data.” Opp. 14. I disagree.
`
`7.
`
`As my opening declaration makes clear, I applied the plain and
`
`ordinary meaning of “application” under the broadest reasonable interpretation
`
`(BRI) consistent with the specification in forming my opinions. Ex.1003 ¶ 30. In
`
`my opinion, such interpretation of the term “application” is “a program, or group
`
`
`
`
`-2-
`
`Page 00003
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`of programs working together, designed to provide access to functions and data.”
`
`The ‘020 specification does not specifically define the term “application” but
`
`describes different applications that provide access to certain functions and data.
`
`Ex.1001, 1:33-40, 2:24-25, 3:5-22, Fig. 1. This is further supported by technical
`
`dictionaries of the type that experts in my field would reasonably rely upon. For
`
`example, Ex.1028, 5 (“application A program or group of programs designed for
`
`end users”); Ex.1031, 4 (“application program Software that enables a computer
`
`to perform a set of related tasks for a specific purpose, such as word processing,
`
`working with spreadsheets or graphics, or Web browsing.”), 5 (“program A set of
`
`coded instructions that direct a computer in performing a specific task”)). This
`
`interpretation is also consistent with the contemporaneous use of the term in the art
`
`(e.g., “web applications”). See Ex.1029 1:40-47 (“A web application is little more
`
`than a set of web pages that support different functionalities.”).
`
`B.
`
`8.
`
`“function” includes opening a certain window of an application
`(claims 1, 16)
`
`The patent owner (PO) proposes that “function” cannot include
`
`merely opening a window of an application. Opp. 18-20. I disagree. As my initial
`
`declaration makes clear, I applied the plain and ordinary meaning of “function”
`
`under the broadest reasonable interpretation (BRI) consistent with the specification
`
`in forming my opinions. Ex.1003 ¶¶ 30, 64-70, 72-73, 113-119, 121, 132. Such
`
`interpretation of “function” includes an “operation or command” and is not limited
`
`
`
`
`-3-
`
`Page 00004
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`to an “an action that a user is to perform within the corresponding application.”
`
`Opp. 19. This is further supported by technical dictionaries of the type that experts
`
`in my field would reasonably rely upon. See e.g., Ex.1028, 6 (“function…used
`
`synonymously with operation and command”) (emphasis in original). Indeed, the
`
`‘020 specification mentions “commands” in explaining its functions. (e.g., 1:54-58)
`
`9.
`
`In my opinion, it would have been well understood that “function”
`
`includes displaying relevant information in a window of an application because the
`
`specification discusses that when a function in the App Snapshot (i.e., claimed
`
`application summary window) is selected, the device may “display[] the relevant
`
`screen offering the relevant functionality.” Ex.1001, 3:47-51. Additionally, in my
`
`opinion, even PO’s cited “examples” (Opp.18-19), such as “enter a PIN security
`
`number” and “Enter chat room,” would involve opening a certain window/view on
`
`a screen, such as opening a message or chat window. After reviewing the
`
`specification and claims, I did not find anything that requires a second user action
`
`after launching the application and initiating the function. Applications at the time
`
`frequently included menu items to “View” various windows or dialogues, which a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art (POSITA) would understand to be “functions” of
`
`those applications. Further, during prosecution, PO admitted and the examiner
`
`confirmed that merely displaying a certain view of the application is a function.
`
`Ex.1002, 197, 187; Ex.1036, Fig. 2A, 8:13-15. Thus, in my opinion, the ‘020
`
`
`
`
`-4-
`
`Page 00005
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`specification describes “function” to include opening a certain window/view of an
`
`application.
`
`C.
`
`Schnarel Discloses a “Limited List of at Least One Function
`Offered Within the First Application” (Elements 1.D, 16.D);
`“Selecting a Function Listed in the Summary Window Caus[ing]
`the First Application to Open and That Selected Function to Be
`Activated” (Cl. 2)
`
`10. PO asserts that Schnarel’s caller log and fax buttons are “separate
`
`applications” from the message center application, and thus, are functions of their
`
`own applications and not functions of the message center. Opp. 30-32, 43.
`
`Similarly, Mr. Denning asserts that “Schnarel describes and shows the message
`
`viewers to be applications that are different from the message center application.”
`
`Ex.2011 ¶ 46. I disagree. As explained below, in my opinion, Schnarel discloses a
`
`“limited list of at least one function offered within the first application” through,
`
`e.g., its caller log and fax buttons displayed on the message summary pane, which
`
`offer functionality for and are part of the message center application.
`
`11. More specifically, I understand that PO argues that the message
`
`viewers are applications, and that the message center application does not include
`
`the message viewers. I disagree with both assertions. In my opinion, the viewers,
`
`at least in some embodiments, are not applications. And, even if the viewers were
`
`applications, it is my opinion that they would nevertheless be part of the message
`
`center application.
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`12. As discussed in my opening declaration, the “caller log” (Ex.1004,
`
`8:56-59) and/or “fax” (Ex.1004, 8:46-50) buttons, for example, are expressly
`
`displayed as part of the “message summary pane”—whose “parent application,” is
`
`the “message center” application. Ex.1004, 13:42-48; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 37, 38, 64-68.
`
`Ex.1004, Fig. 2. Further, Schnarel’s Fig. 7, shows examples of the message
`
`viewers are “answering machine viewer (732), an e-mail viewer (734), and fax
`
`viewer (736).” Ex.1004, 10:59-61; Ex.1003 ¶ 68.
`
`
`
`
`-6-
`
`Page 00007
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`
`Ex.1004, Fig. 7. Notably, while enumerating “[t]he application programs” in Fig.
`
`7, Schnarel includes “the message center” but not separate message “viewers.”
`
`Ex.1004, 10:35-39. Schnarel also discloses that the application button bar (104)
`
`includes “all applications that are available” to a user and provides a vehicle for
`
`launching those applications. Ex.1004, 9:1-6, Figs. 1, 2. Message viewers are
`
`absent from this list, but the message center application is present. Further,
`
`Schnarel teaches that the message viewers are COM components. Ex.1004, 12:50-
`
`13:20. COM components are not freestanding applications. Thus, a POSITA
`
`
`
`
`-7-
`
`Page 00008
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`would have understood that the message viewers (at least in the COM
`
`embodiment) are not individual applications, but rather are part of the “parent”
`
`message center application. See also Ex.1004, 10:55-61, Figure 7; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 64-
`
`68; Ex.2012, 103:3-7 (“The fax viewer is part of the message center….”). Indeed,
`
`it would make no sense to have a message center application that would not allow
`
`users to view any messages. And, the inability to view messages would also make
`
`it difficult if not impossible to respond to messages.
`
`13. The message center application relies on a message viewer that “plugs
`
`into the message center” application and “provides the functionality for displaying
`
`and managing messages of a particular type.” Ex.1004, 10:55-59, Fig. 7; Ex.1003 ¶
`
`68. These viewers are plugged into the parent message center application to
`
`provide additional functionality and are not designed to function as free-standing
`
`applications. I understand Patent Owner describes the viewers as “plugins.” Opp.
`
`32. When a plugin is plugged into another application, it becomes part of the
`
`parent application. Definitions of plugin support this understanding. Ex.1034, 3
`
`(“PLUG-IN an accessory program that provides additional functions for a main
`
`application program. Plug-ins have to be loaded at the same time as the main
`
`program; they then show up as an option in an appropriate menu”); Ex.1035, 3. In
`
`my opinion, and consistent with my claim construction, an application is a program
`
`or group of programs (which include helper programs such as the message center
`
`
`
`
`-8-
`
`Page 00009
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`plugins that allow extended functionality of the parent application). For example,
`
`Microsoft Outlook, with, e.g., mail and calendar programs, and Excel, with
`
`spreadsheet and charting programs, are applications with a group of programs.
`
`Thus, even if the message viewers are themselves individual programs
`
`(or ”separate plugin applications,” as PO contends), they provide functions for the
`
`message center application, and are part of the message center application.
`
`14. My opinions are further confirmed by the fact that the point of
`
`Schnarel’s message center application (708) is to “provide[] integrated access to all
`
`types of messages . . . such as answering machine messages, e-mails, and faxes”
`
`(Ex.1004, 10:45-48; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 64-68), and the fact that Schnarel explicitly
`
`teaches that the message center application is launched and a viewer is opened
`
`when a button related to message viewing is selected (see Ex.1004, 7:56-60 (when
`
`Button 308 is pressed “a procedure associated with the icon launches a message
`
`center application program, which displays the appropriate message viewer.”);
`
`8:46-59 (“[i]n response to selecting an active fax button, the messages application
`
`is launched and a fax viewer is displayed . . . pressing an active call logger button
`
`causes the messages application to launch, and a call log viewer to be displayed”);
`
`see also id. 7:57-60; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 69-70).
`
`15.
`
` Further, including Schnarel’s message viewers as part of the message
`
`center application would be an obvious design choice and advantageous: when part
`
`
`
`
`-9-
`
`Page 00010
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`of the larger message center application, the viewer windows would display much
`
`faster than if they were required to launch separate applications for each window.
`
`Further, it would be easier for the message viewer plugins to share resources as
`
`part of the same application, rather than as separate applications. This would likely
`
`reduce the memory footprint, simplify the design of the application program(s),
`
`eliminate the need to design an interface, and ensure interoperability. See also
`
`Ex.1003 ¶ 143. For these reasons, a POSITA would have been motivated and
`
`found it obvious and straightforward to implement Schnarel’s message viewers as
`
`part of Schnarel’s message center application. A POSITA would have also
`
`recognized this as a straightforward and beneficial design choice for the same
`
`reasons. It would have been routine and straightforward for a POSITA to do so,
`
`and it would have been clear to a POSITA that it would have worked and provided
`
`the expected functionality to yield predictable results.
`
`16. PO argues Schnarel’s message viewers merely “open[] an application
`
`window or viewer.” Opp. 34. I disagree. In my opinion, Schnarel does not merely
`
`teach opening an application window/viewer; it also teaches executing functions
`
`under any proposed construction of that term. Schnarel teaches “an action to be
`
`activated in [the message center] application and performed by a user” because
`
`when the caller log/fax button is selected, not only is the message center
`
`application launched but a particular type of message (either caller log or fax
`
`
`
`
`-10-
`
`Page 00011
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`messages) is displayed. This is analogous to “enter chat room” because, like
`
`entering a specific chat room, a user would enter the message viewer of a particular
`
`type of message (i.e. Call Logs or Fax Messages).” PO admits that “enter chat
`
`room” is a function. Opp. 19; Ex.1001, 3:33-35. In the absence of caller log or fax
`
`buttons, a user would first have to open the message center application and select
`
`one of the three tabs (tab #3, tab # 2, or tab # 10 in Schnarel’s Fig. 5) to view a
`
`particular type of message. See also Ex.1004, 10:55-61 (“The message
`
`viewer…provides the functionality for displaying … messages….”), 4:24-27
`
`(“feature[s] of the device” include “… reviewing a message (e.g. answering
`
`machine, fax or e-mail message), browsing the Internet, or making a telephone
`
`call.”).
`
`17. As another example, Schnarel discloses that where a device supports
`
`multiple users, activating the fax/caller log “button may first cause a user interface
`
`screen to be displayed, prompting the user to identify herself/himself . . .” and “if
`
`the selected user is security enabled, then a password screen is displayed,
`
`prompting the user to enter a password.” Ex.1004, 8:50-59; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 17, 37, 38.
`
`Schnarel’s teaching of “identify[ing] herself/himself” and “enter[ing] a password”
`
`is analogous to “enter[ing] a PIN security number,” which the ‘020 specification
`
`describes as an example of a function. Ex.1001, 2:8. In my opinion, Schnarel’s
`
`teaching is analogous to the ‘020 teachings because “enter[ing] a PIN security
`
`
`
`
`-11-
`
`Page 00012
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`number” would also have involved displaying a prompt screen to enter a PIN
`
`number before displaying and managing messages of a particular type for that user.
`
`Thus, Schnarel discloses that pressing the caller log/fax button, “provides the
`
`functionality for displaying and managing messages.” Ex.1004, 10:55-61;
`
`Ex.1003 ¶¶ 64-68. This indicates that Schnarel does not merely teach opening an
`
`application window/viewer; rather, Schnarel teaches—upon selecting the caller
`
`log/fax button—displaying the relevant screen and offering “an action that a user is
`
`to perform within the corresponding application” (i.e., displaying and managing
`
`messages of a particular type for a particular user, such as, “Chip” in Schnarel’s
`
`Fig. 5).
`
`18. PO asserts that pressing the caller log/fax buttons in message
`
`summary pane 206 might open the same window as pressing the “Messages”
`
`button in pane 104, alleging that the caller log/fax buttons do not provide access to
`
`“functions” of the message center. Opp. 36-37. I disagree. First, I note that the
`
`‘020 claims do not require functions that take the user to different screens. Second,
`
`as I discussed in my opening declaration and above, Schnarel repeatedly describes
`
`that a function (e.g., displaying, managing, entering ID/password information) is
`
`activated after pressing a button, just like “enter[ing] a PIN security number” or
`
`“enter[ing a] chat room” in the ‘020 specification. Further, in my opinion, even if
`
`selecting the caller log button under a “default” mode brought the user to the same
`
`
`
`
`-12-
`
`Page 00013
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`window as pressing the “Messages” button, pressing the fax button in the
`
`“Messages” window would open a different, non-“default” view. Thus, at least
`
`one button would open a window that is different from the “default” view and
`
`would meet the claimed limitation.
`
`D.
`
`Schnarel Renders Obvious “an Application Summary Window
`that Can Be Reached Directly From the Main Menu” (Elements
`1.C, 16.C)
`
`19. PO asserts that Petitioner’s proposed modification of Schnarel so that
`
`pane 206 can be reached directly from the main menu is “more than a mere
`
`rearrangement of parts since the message pane 206 would no longer provide notice
`
`of new messages on this start screen.” Opp. 40-41. I disagree. As detailed in my
`
`opening declaration, implementing Schnarel’s summary pane to be reached
`
`directly from the main menu would have been obvious. Ex.1003 ¶¶ 58-59. It was
`
`known in the art to place the summary window “anywhere [in] the menu hierarchy,
`
`i.e. as a sub-menu …” (Ex.1005, 7:25-29), and configuring Schnarel this way
`
`would not frustrate Schnarel’s purpose of allowing users to “quickly discover
`
`whether or not they have new messages and quickly access[ing] these new
`
`messages” (Ex.1004, 6:33-35). In my opinion, in the proposed modification, a user
`
`would still quickly discover/access new messages by reaching the summary pane
`
`in one step, instead of taking multiple steps to check for new messages by first
`
`opening the message center application and having to drill down through several
`
`
`
`
`-13-
`
`Page 00014
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`layers of the message center application and take other steps before
`
`discovering/accessing the new messages. For example, to discover messages for a
`
`certain user (e.g., “Chris,” Jimmy,” “Chip,” “Kate”) by first opening the message
`
`center application (instead of using the message summary pane), the user would
`
`need to then take another step to select the user to check messages for (e.g., Fig. 5
`
`“
`
`”). In addition, to access messages, a user
`
`would need to take another step to select the type of messages to access (e.g., Fig.
`
`5 “
`
`,” “
`
`,” “
`
`”).
`
`E.
`
`Schnarel in view of Aberg Renders Obvious “an Application
`Summary Window that Can Be Reached Directly From the Main
`Menu” (Elements 1.C, 16.C)
`
`20. PO asserts that Schnarel in view of Aberg does not render obvious
`
`Elements 1.C and 16.C because Aberg “teaches nothing about how to structure a
`
`relationship between Schnarel’s message pane 206…and Schnarel’s application
`
`selection area 104” and “Schnarel’s area 104 . . . does not allow navigation . . . .”
`
`Opp.40; Ex.2011 ¶ 59. I disagree. As an example, a POSITA would have known
`
`to place Aberg’s SPECIAL menu as a button or a pop-up window on Schnarel’s
`
`application selection area (104). Ex.1003 ¶ 58; Ex.1006 (Smith), 8:12-35, Fig. 7A
`
`(displaying a list of received messages by pressing a message center icon);
`
`Ex.1015 (Blanchard), 5:30-6:38, Figs. 2, 4 (using “Left,” “Up,” “Right,” “Down,”
`
`keys to scroll between menu screens). As I described in my opening declaration, a
`
`
`
`
`-14-
`
`Page 00015
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`POSITA would have been motivated to use Aberg’s teachings of a summary
`
`window that can be reached directly from the main menu in implementing
`
`Schnarel’s GUI for a mobile phone to avoid cluttering the display with too much
`
`information while still providing easy access to functions and data offered in an
`
`application. Ex.1003 ¶¶54-63. Relocating Aberg’s SPECIAL menu and making it
`
`accessible through interaction with Schnarel’s menu would have amounted to a
`
`predictable variation resulting from design incentives, not any inventive concept.
`
`Id.
`
`21. Aberg itself expressly teaches placing a summary window at any level
`
`of the menu hierarchy and accessing the SPECIAL menu through interaction with
`
`the main menu (Ex.1005, 7:25-29), and Schnarel likewise teaches customizing the
`
`GUI (Ex.1004, 5:7-26). Aberg also expressly teaches, e.g., (1) “a dynamic menu …
`
`which is easily accessible from the normal menu system” (Ex.1005, 2:58-59), (2)
`
`accessing a regular menu for an application (e.g., accessing the phonebook by
`
`navigating the menu to the phonebook and pressing the “YES” key) (Ex.1005,
`
`4:32-33, 4:66-5:5), and (3) separately accessing a “special menu” (Ex.1005, 7:25-
`
`29). Thus, it would have been obvious to implement Schnarel’s GUI so that the
`
`“message summary pane” is reached directly through an item available on the main
`
`menu. Additionally, it was well-known to make a selection on the main menu to
`
`display a summary window. Ex.1003 ¶¶ 58, 59.

`
`22. PO further asserts that Schnarel in view of Aberg does not render
`
`obvious Elements 1.C and 16.C because Aberg allegedly does not teach an
`
`“application summary window” since the “SPECIAL menu 300 is not associated
`
`with any ‘application’ . . . .” Opp. 40; Ex.2011 ¶ 59. I disagree. As I explained in
`
`my opening declaration, a POSITA would have been motivated and found it
`
`obvious and straightforward to apply Aberg’s teachings of structuring a summary
`
`window that can be reached directly from the main menu in implementing
`
`Schnarel’s GUI (which already teaches an application summary window).
`
`Ex.1003 ¶¶ 61-63.
`
`23. Furthermore, in my opinion, a POSITA would have understood that
`
`Aberg teaches configuring its “SPECIAL” menu for one (or more) applications,
`
`contrary to PO’s assertions. For example, Aberg teaches that its “SPECIAL” menu
`
`is “customized by the user…to add and delete menu items in an easy way,” and
`
`that such “menu items” are associated with one or more applications, such as
`
`“Settings” and/or “Phonebook.” Ex.1005, 2:55-3:3, 6:6-24; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 37, 38, 39,
`
`58-63; see also Ex.1004, 9:1-6, Figs. 1, 2 (Schnarel also teaches “Settings” and
`
`“Phonebook” applications). Thus, a POSITA would have understood that Aberg
`
`teaches selecting menu items for the SPECIAL menu for one application, as
`
`customized by the user. Furthermore, Aberg’s claim 3 teaches “add[ing] a selected
`
`menu item to the dynamic menu.” Ex.1005, Claim 3. In my opinion, “a selected
`
`
`
`
`-16-

`
`
`

`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`menu item” in the SPECIAL menu, without any other menu item, is associated
`
`with a single application. Hence, Aberg teaches associating the SPECIAL menu,
`
`which is a form of dynamic menu, with only one application. And in any event, in
`
`view of Schnarel and Aberg, a POSITA would have found it obvious and
`
`straightforward to configure Aberg’s SPECIAL menu with menu items from only
`
`one application because, in order to do so, a POSITA would merely have to add
`
`menu items from a single application, which would allow a user to access the most
`
`often used functions of that application with less effort.
`
`F.
`
`Schnarel, Schnarel in view of Aberg, or Alternatively, Schnarel in
`view of Yurkovic Discloses “the Functionality and/or Stored Data
`Types for a Summary Window for a Given Application Varies
`with the Environment of the Device” (Claim 6)
`
`24. PO asserts that, in Schnarel, displaying, e.g., caller log and fax buttons,
`
`depending on whether, e.g., a caller log or fax “transport” is available does not
`
`implicate the “environment,” of the device. Opp. 43-44. I disagree. In my
`
`opinion, the BRI of “environment of the device” includes at least the device’s
`
`hardware, software, and/or location. Ex.1001, 4:47-52 (“constituency of the App
`
`Snap shot may vary with the environment in which the mobile telephone finds
`
`itself. For example, if the telephone is Blue tooth enabled, then there may be a
`
`Bluetooth application which has associated with it a summary window which lists
`
`the other Bluetooth devices in the vicinity”); 5:29-31 (“present invention may
`
`therefore be used in any computing environment, including both keyboard and
`
`
`

`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`keyboard-less devices”); Ex.1003 ¶¶ 74-86. In my opinion, nothing in the ‘020
`
`specification limits the plain and ordinary meaning of “environment” in a way that
`
`would exclude these, though I understand PO’s analysis excludes software and
`
`hardware from being part of the device’s environment (Opp.43-44). According to
`
`my understanding, whether a particular “transport,” which is software that allows a
`
`user to receive a particular message type, is available on the device is clearly an
`
`aspect of the device’s environment that impacts the availability of associated
`
`functionality. Ex.1003 ¶ 76.
`
`25. PO asserts that the presence or absence of an accessory or SIM card
`
`(in Aberg) does not impact the device’s “environment.” Opp.44. I disagree.
`
`Under the BRI of the “environment” of the device, in my opinion, whether and
`
`what type of accessory or SIM card is attached to a device impacts the device’s
`
`hardware and software “environment.” Ex.1003 ¶¶ 78-83; see also Ex.1001, 4:47-
`
`52; 5:25-31.
`
`G.
`
`Schnarel Discloses “Display[ing] a List of Data Stored in That
`Application” (Claim 10)
`
`26.
`
`I understand PO argues Schnarel does not disclose displaying a list of
`
`“data stored in that application” under its construction, because the data displayed
`
`is not the data caused to be “stored by the messaging center.” Opp.45-46, 20. I
`
`disagree. Schnarel teaches that the message center application stores status change
`
`information when a new message is received. Ex.1004, 13:61-14:10. And, when
`
`
`
`
`-18-
`
`Page 00019

`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01898
`United States Patent No. 8,434,020
`
`
`the message center is launched, it will also display the number of messages (see
`
`Schnarel Fig. 5), so that data is then stored by the message center application as
`
`well. Schnarel further teaches that message transports receive messages of a
`
`particular type and save them to persistent storage. Ex.1004, 10:54-55. A POSITA
`
`would understand that the message center application would have to at least cache
`
`this data to display it on a device using a message viewer, and would therefore
`
`necessarily, and thus inherently be storing it locally on the device, at least
`
`temporarily (e.g. in the RAM or registry associated with the message center
`
`application). See also Ex.1003 ¶¶ 89-91. To the extent it is argued that the
`
`message center application does not store the data itself, it would at minimum have
`
`been obvious based on these disclosures.
`
`H. Nason Discloses “Each Function in the List Being Selectable To
`Launch the First Application and Initiate the Selected Function”
`(Elements 1.E, 16.E)
`
`27.
`
`I understand that PO asserts, and Mr. Denning says, that Lycos, AOL,
`
`and Amazon applications are “websites,” not “applications,” thus no application is
`
`launched when a function from Nason’s summary window is selected. Opp. 53-58;
`
`Ex.2011 ¶¶ 81, 125. I disagree. As I explained in my deposition, a “web
`
`application is a collection, typically one or more web pages, that helps the user do
`
`a variety of tasks or a variety of functions.” Ex.2012, 72:8-17, 72:22-73:21; see
`
`also Ex.2012, 73:12-21. Thus, in my opinion, each of the Lycos, AOL, and
`
`
`
`

`
`
`Amazon websites (running on a browser) are web applications because each of
`
`them consists of a collection of webpages that support different functionalities,
`
`such as searching the Internet, checking mail, chatting, etc.
`
`28. PO and Mr. Denning state that Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail/),
`
`Maps (https://www.google.com/maps), and Google+ (https://plus.google.com) are
`
`applications (Opp. 53-58; Ex.2011 ¶¶ 81-83); yet they are all websites. For
`
`example, typing a web address, such as https://www.google.com/maps, in the
`
`Internet browser takes a user to the Google Maps website. In my opinion, each of
`
`the Lycos, AOL, and Amazon websites (running on a browser) is a program or
`
`group of programs (with code) designed to provide access to functions and data,
`
`and each is thus an application—and in particular a web application.
`
`29. PO says that the AOL “mail feature” is an application and it has a
`
`“create/write email” function, but asserts that AOL itself is not an application.
`
`Opp.57-58. I disagree. Nason expressly discloses that the AOL web application is
`
`not limited to a “mail feature.” Ex.1007, Fig.10; Ex.1003 ¶¶ 116-119. Nason
`
`shows that the AOL web application is a collection of webpages that provides
`
`various functionality, including, e.g., “Mail,” “AOL NetFind,” “Web Centers,”
`
`“My News,” “Shopping,” “Web Search,” “Weather” and many more. Id. It also
`
`provides various data, including the current date “January 12, 1999”, and news like
`
`“Jordan set to retire”. Id. Further, even if the “mail feature” is operable as an

`
`
`individual application, it provides functionality for and is displayed on and
`
`accessed from the AOL web application—and is therefore, in my opinion, part of
`
`the AOL web application. In any case, Nason further discloses that the applications
`
`in the cartridges are not limited to AOL, Lycos, and Amazon: “[u]ser cartridge(s)
`
`may include access to applications, documents, files, or network links ….”
`
`Ex.1007, 4:34-37. Alternatively, in my opinion, these same disclosures would
`
`certainly render this limitation (Elements 1.E, 16.E) obvious. A POSITA would
`
`have known that the modification would work as expected, yielding the expected
`
`result because this was a known method for initiating a function selected from an
`
`application that is not yet launched. Ex.1003 ¶ 119.
`
`I.
`
`Nason, or Wagner in View of Nason, Discloses “a Mobile
`Telephone” (Claim 11)
`
`30. PO argues that a POSITA would not be motivated to implement
`
`Nason’s GUI on a mobile telephone, such as the phone taught by Wagner, based
`
`on theory that “Nason’s parallel GUI is designed for use in CRT displays, not
`
`mobile LCD displays.” Opp. 68-69. I disagree. Nason expressly teaches that its
`
`GUI “may be implemented in any
