`J1 Background
`
`Page 3
`
`The '511 Patent teaches towards a wireless server with an interface for a display device
`such as a PDA, and a second interface for a wireless phone. FIG 1 is representative:
`
`Col. 3 I. 62-col. 5 I. 34 describes the overall device, including data transfer between the
`server and the external display device and the intermediate network.

`
`The Application that issued as the instant '511 Patent was filed with 55 claims, after
`which preliminary amendments filed 8/14/02 and 2/26/03 added new claims 56-80.
`Claims 1-7, 9-27 and 29-78 were rejected over Criss by the examiner in a Non-Final
`rejection mailed 4/11/03, after which an amendment of 7/11/03 amended claims.
`Another Non-Final Rejection followed on 1/21/04 where claims 1-7, 9-27 and 29-78
`were rejected over Criss in view of Wecker and claims 6-11 were rejected over Larkey
`in view of Goldhor. Another amendment followed on 9/28/04, and a Final Rejection was
`mailed 2/23/05 rejecting claims 1-7, 9-27 and 29-78 over Criss in view of Wecker and
`Fillibrown. After the filing of an RCE, a Non-Final rejection followed on 6/J0/05 repeating
`the above rejection, and another Non-Final followed 2/8/06 rejecting the above claims
`over Boals, Criss, Grewe, Gombrich, Shimura, Ausems and Gerszberg. After remarks
`filed 6/8/06, the application was allowed 8/24/06, including an Examiner's Amendment
`changing the claims to note a "personal" network server. No reasons for allowance were
`provided by the Examiner.

`
`Ill. Request
`
`Page4
`
`The Request of 3/14/2011 indicates that the Patent Owner considered the references to
`apply to the original claims:
`
`Nokia 9110:
`
`Patent Owner cites the following references:
`
`a. "Nokia introduces its second generation communicator -The pocket-sized
`Nokia 9110 Communicator combines an ultimate mobile office with a
`superb phone", Ex. C;
`b. "Nokia User's Guide 9110", Ex. D;
`c. "PC Suite for Nokia 9110 and 9110i Communicator User's Guide", Ex. E;
`d. "Quick Guide For Using The Infrared Object Exchange Application with
`the Nokia 9110 Communicator'', Ex. F;
`e. "Quick Guide for transferring data from Nokia 9000/9000i Communicator
`to Nokia 9110 Communicator", Ex. G;
`"PC Suite for Nokia 9110 Communicator, setting up connection", Ex. H;
`"File Transfer with the PC Suite for Nokia 9110 Communicator ", Ex. I;
`
`f.
`
`The cited references all describe the Nokia 9110 communicator. The 9110, introduced
`in 1998, was a personal communication device including the ability to transfer files over
`infrared communication with another device. The 9110 intended to be utilized as a
`cellular phone, organizer and mobile terminal.
`
`The 9110 is claimed to be a "pocket-sized mobile office", running a number of
`applications such as GSM cellular .telephone, fax, inter/intranet communications, email,
`SMS and calendar apps together. It also comprises a connection means to a PC as well
`as wireless transfer from other devices such as digital cameras. Ex. C at 2.
`
`In response to a non-final rejection mailed 6/28/2011 , as well as an interview held
`8/16/2011 , Patent Owner has filed an amendment to claims 1 and 58 on 8/22/2011 .
`This notice is in response thereto.

`
`IV. Reasons for Issuing Reexamination Certificate
`
`Claims 1 and 58 are patentable.
`
`The following is an examiner's statement of reasons for patentability and/or confirmation
`of the claims found patentable in this reexamination proceeding:
`
`In response to the non-final action mailed 6/18/2011 , Patent Owner has amended
`claims 1 and 58 as follows:
`
`1. A wireless intelligent personal network server, comprising:
`
`a radio frequency (RF) receiver for receiving downstream data transmitted over a
`first wireless communications channel;
`
`a memory;
`a central processing unit (CPU),
`a set of embedded machine language Instructions within said personal network
`server, said set of embedded machine language instructions being executable by
`said CPU for processing said downstream data to provide at least one electronic
`file in said memory; and
`
`a first interface for allowing art external displa~ device te sele&ti¥ely aGGess to
`pick and open said at least one electronic file while said at least one electronic file
`remains resident on said personal network server, wherein said personal network
`server is hand-portable.
`
`58. A wireless intelligent personal network server, comprising:
`
`a radio frequency (RF) transceiver for receiving downstream data transmitted over
`a first wireless communications channel;
`
`a memory;
`
`a central processing unit (CPU);
`
`a set of embedded machine language instructions within said personal network
`server, said set of embedded machine language instructions being executable by
`said CPU for processing said downstream data to provide at least one electronic
`file in said memory; and
`
`a first interface for allowing an external display device te seleGti¥ely aGGess to
`pick and open said at least one electronic file while said at least one electronic file
`remains resident on said personal network server, wherein said personal network
`server is hand-portable.
`
`Page 00170
`
`

`
`Application/Control Number: 90/011,569
`Art Unit: 3992
`
`Page 6
`
`As noted above, the claims now require that, rather than "selectively accessing" the
`electronic file on the wireless intelligent personal network server, a term which was read
`broadly by the examiner, the external display device is able to pick and open the file
`while said file remains resident on the server.
`
`Nokia discloses a system wherein a file is able to be transferred from a personal
`wireless device to a computer which is connected thereto. User's Guide at 1-2. This was
`read as a server by the Examiner, as it is able to move files back and forth by user
`request.
`
`Nokia includes a set of steps within said personal network server (while the use of
`embedded instruction would be inherent in the operation of the above device and
`services, see further the second page noting the use of DOS-ROM and "Embedded
`.BIOS" as well as "PPP software" and "C-client Internet mail routines" and applications
`listed on pp. 25-26), said set of steps for processing said downstream data to providing
`at least one electronic file in said memory (e.g. received faxes/messages/mail as well as
`files, see pp. 111-112, such as the attachments listed above).
`
`Nokia further discloses a. first interface (p. 39 FIG 1, see also pp. 26-28) for allowing an
`external display device (computer, p. 39) to selectively access said at least one
`electronic file (file transfer, pp. 43-45. Note FIG 4 on p. 44 allowing the backing up from
`the communicator to the computer of "documents" such as those discussed above
`received in downstream data.). Such reads on 'selectively accessing' the document
`data, as such step can be performed as in FIG 4 selecting only 'documents' to the
`exclusion of calendar data and contacts 1
`.
`
`However, Nokia fails to teach or suggest that the external device may pick and open
`files off the server while the file remains resident thereon; that is, that the file is opened
`on the server, rather than being transferred to the computer first. As such the claims
`describe a different type of wireless personal server with a different feature than Nokia
`which is not taught therein.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by the PATENT OWNER regarding the above
`statement must be submitted promptly to. avoid processing delays. Such submission by
`the patent owner should be labeled: "Comments on Statement of Reasons for
`Patentability and/or Confirmation" and will be placed in the reexamination file.

`claims 1 and 58, see "File Transfer with the PC Suite for Nokia 9110 Communicator", Original Request

`
`V. Conclusion
`
`Page 7
`
`This action is directed only to the claims for which reexamination was requested. With
`respect to such claims, requester has alleged that a substantial new question of
`patentability (SNQ) exists, and upon review, it has been determined that the alleged
`SNQ in fact is present for c.laims 1 and 58. No determination was made with respect to
`the existence or nonexistence of an SNQ with respect to any claim for which
`reexamination was not specifically requested.
`
`Extensions of time under 37 CFR 1.136(a) do not apply in reexamination
`proceedings. The provisions of 37 CFR 1.136 apply only to "an applicant" and not to
`parties in a reexamination proceeding. Further, in 35 U.S.C. 305 and in 37 CFR
`1.550(a), it is required that reexamination proceedings "will be conducted with special
`dispatch within the Office."
`
`Extensions of time in reexamination proceedings are provided for in 37 CFR
`1.550(c). A request for extension of time must be filed on or before the day on which a
`response to this action is due, and it must be accompanied by the petition fee set forth
`in 37 CFR 1.17 (g). The mere filing of a request will not effect any extension of time. An
`extension of time will be granted only for sufficient cause, and for a reasonable time
`specified.
`
`The Patent Owner is again reminded of the continuing responsibility under 37 CFR
`1.565(a), to apprise the Office of any litigation activity, or other prior or concurrent
`proceeding, involving the instant '070 Patent throughout the course of this
`reexamination proceeding.
