`
`Statement Pointing Out Each Substantial New Question of Patentability
`
`U.S. Patent 7,734,251 Bl was instituted in an Inter Partes Reexamination (IPR2013-00171,
`
`Paper 9), based on an Inter Partes Reexamination petition (IPR2013-00171, Paper 1) and the
`
`Declaration of Dr. Neuhauser (IPR2013-00171, Ex. lOll), where unpatentability was to be
`
`determined for:
`
`1. Claims 18, 19, 22-24, and 28 for anticipation by Bakula;
`
`2. Claims 18, 19, and 22-24 for anticipation by Hedges;
`
`3. Claims 18, 19, 22-24, and 28 for obviousness over the combination of Hedges and
`
`Frohbach;
`
`4. Claim 17 for obviousness over the combination of Hedges and Yamamoto; and
`
`5. Claim 17 for obviousness over the combination of Yamamoto and Bakula.
`
`However, the Inter Partes Reexamination was terminated (IPR2013-00171, Paper 24) prior to a
`
`final written decision. No claims were cancelled and no Kl certificate was generated.
`
`Accordingly, the institution decision may create a substantial new question of patentability.
`
`To that end, the above prior art references are applied to claims 17-20, 23-25, 28-3 1, 34-36, and
`
`39 for reexamination according to the charts below.
`
`Hedges may be combined with Frohbach because both references are related to systems for
`
`displayi.ng information derived from user input to a distributed system. Hedges may be
`
`combined with Yamamoto, and Yamamoto may be combined with Bakula, because both
`
`references in each pair are related to displaying user-configurable information at a station in a
`
`distributed computer system.
`
`Form PTO-SB-08A is attached with the above references listed.

`
`said second discrete signal in said at
`
`interrupt signal, INT2 or INT3 to the CPU (see Fig.
`
`least one information transmission;
`
`4). The interrupt indicates to the CPU that the signal
`
`group KB0-KB7 is ready to be read by the CPU;
`
`therefore, the signals may have been "detected" .
`
`(6:24-30, 14:34-43)
