`
` Why the Disputed Claim Limitations are Unpatentable
`
`13
`
`
`
`Claim Construction: “a microcontroller coupled with
`said memory”
` Patent Owner contends that the BRC requires “a memory that is
`separate and distinct from the microcontroller”
`
` According to Patent Owner, “a memory that is integral to a
`microcontroller would be considered part of the microcontroller
`itself, rather than coupled to it”
`
` Patent Owner’s construction is inconsistent with the claim
`language and specifications

`
`
`
`Proper Construction of “a microcontroller coupled with
`said memory”
` The term is properly understood without construction
`
` If the Board determines construction is necessary, the “couple”
`must be construed consistently: the BRC is “a microcontroller
`joined with said memory”

`Patent Owner’s Argument Ignores Mahajan’s
`Disclosures
` Patent Owner argues “Mahajan’s disclosure of a remote server
`does not satisfy the claim requirement for a remote database”
`because “it does not follow that disclosure of a server necessarily
`teaches or suggests the claimed database”
`
` Patent Owner ignores Mahajan’s disclosure of storage at “an
`available storage medium,” such as a remote server and/or
`database
`
` Patent Owner’s expert: “a person of ordinary skill in the art would
`understand that [] a remote database may be located on a remote
`server” (Ex. 2001 at ¶ 59)

`
`Patent Owner’s Argument Fails
` Patent Owner concedes that Mahajan itself discloses the
`“assigned locations” limitations
`• 675 POR at 38: Mahajan has its “own method of determining the
`location of sensors on a user or piece of equipment”
`
` Patent Owner’s argument that the Mahajan cannot be combined
`with Otto because Mahajan only describes a one-way
`communication system is incorrect
`• Mahajan ¶¶ 85, 126
`
` The motivation to combine Otto with Mahajan is to incorporate
`Otto’s “easy to follow instruction” in Mahajan’s system

`Patent Owner’s Argument Fails
` Patent Owner argues that “data mining” refers to “the process of
`collecting, searching through and analyzing a large amount of data
`in a database, as to discover patterns or relationships”
`
` Patent Owner: “Nothing in Oleson describes how the personal
`data in stored data fields may be used to generate patterns or
`understand relationships between the individual metrics
`displayed.”
