`I.
`
`Introduction
`
`While all agree that the Court has an obligation to resolve fundamental disputes regarding
`
`the scope of claim terms, Zynga argues for constructions that require the Court to engage in an
`
`exercise in redundancy by redrafting claim language that needs no construction. In so doing,
`
`Zynga seeks to improperly saddle the claim terms with limitations from preferred embodiments
`
`and elsewhere. Under Zynga’s proposals, subscriber becomes paying subscriber, programming
`
`becomes simultaneously broadcast programming, complete becomes truly complete in its final
`
`form, data becomes factual data, station becomes stationary station, commercial becomes
`
`simultaneously broadcast advertisement, audio becomes audible words, and schedule becomes
`
`predetermined schedule.
`
`Instead, this Court should resolve these claim disputes simply by rejecting Zynga’s over-
`
`ly narrow limitations and relying instead on the plain and ordinary meaning of the terms. See
`
`Finjan, Inc. v. Secure Computing Corp., 626 F.3d 1197, 1207 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (“Unlike O2
`
`Micro, where the court failed to resolve the parties’ quarrel, the district court rejected Defend-
`
`ants’ construction, which required an IP address. … In this situation, the district court was not
`
`obligated to provide additional guidance to the jury.”). Zynga’s constructions should be rejected.
`
`II.
`
`“Subscriber”
`
`Zynga complains that PMC’s proposal would have the term “subscriber” mean “any type
`
`of user.” Zynga’s Responsive Claim Construction Br. (“Zynga Br.”) 3, ECF No. 80 (emphasis
`
`original). Yet Zynga’s proposal would improperly limit the term to just one type – ignoring the
`
`“many different classes of subscriber” discussed in the patent and in PMC’s opening brief. See
`
`PMC’s Opening Claim Construction Br. (“PMC Br.”) 5-9, ECF No. 77; PMC Br. Ex. 2 at
`
`272:64-67, ECF No. 77-2 (“Ex. 2”).
`
`Zynga incorrectly argues that PMC did not cite to any part of the specification that uses
`

`
`
`Case 2:12-cv-00068-JRG-RSP Document 86 Filed 03/26/13 Page 5 of 15 PageID #: 4964
`
`
`the term “subscriber” to refer to one who has not agreed to pay for content. One example cited
`
`by PMC was the use of “subscribers” to refer to the millions of people who view “Wall Street
`
`Week” from a “conventional television network.” Ex. 2 at 11:19-35. Another example cited by
`
`PMC was the “subscriber” who “decides to watch a particular television program.” Ex. 2 at
`
`209:60-67. In neither case is there an obligation to pay. See id. at 1:31 (“television is easy for
`
`subscribers to use”); 14:51-52 (“unlike conventional television where each subscriber views only
`
`programming viewed by every other subscriber”).
`
`Zynga’s citations from the prosecution history simply establish a point that is not in dis-
`
`pute – there is a class of subscribers to which information is offered on condition of payment.
`
`See Ex. 2 at 15:16-18. The issue is not whether such a class of subscribers exists, but rather is
`
`whether other classes of subscribers also exist – and they do. See PMC Br. 5-9.
`
`Zynga argues that “subscriber” cannot mean “user” because the claims use both terms.
`
`However, the claims also use both “data” and “information,” and the parties have agreed that
`
`those terms have the same meaning. See PMC Br. 4 (agreed construction of “user specific
`
`data”). Further, claim terms that are used interchangeably in a patent can be assigned the same
`
`meaning. See Bid For Positions, LLC v. AOL, LLC, 601 F.3d 1311, 1317-18 (Fed. Cir. 2010).
`
`Such is the case with “user” and “subscriber:”1
`
`For example, only at subscriber stations where user specific stock data is main-
`tained systematically and up-to-date can the program instruction set of the first
`message of the “Wall Street Week” example generate FIG. 1A images that actual-
`ly show the performance of the portfolios of the subscribers of said stations.
`
`PMC Br. Ex. 4 at 231:4-9, ECF No. 77-4 (“Ex. 4”); see id. at 9:31-33 (referring to FIG. 1A as a
`
`“user specific graphic”); Ex. 2 at 288:60-63 (“user specific subscriber datum”).

`
`
`III.
`
`“Video” and “Video Image”
`
`Zynga’s proposed construction of “video” requires images “intended to be displayed in
`
`sequence to allow for the appearance of movement.” Zynga now abandons its “intent”
`
`requirement in favor of a construction in which the images are merely “capable of showing
`
`motion.” Zynga Br. 5. Zynga cites the prosecution history in an attempt to distinguish “video”
`
`from “graphics,” yet Zynga’s citation shows just the opposite. See Zynga Br. 6. Rather than
`
`distinguishing “video” from “graphics,” the citation distinguishes “normal video information
`
`alone in a conventional manner” from “graphics information [alone]” – and provides “video
`
`games” as an example of “graphic information.” Id. The claims do not limit “video” to “normal
`
`video information” or to video “alone in a conventional manner.”2
`
`IV.
`
`“Processor” and “Processing”
`
`PMC’s position is not that these terms “require computers that execute instructions,” as
`
`Zynga incorrectly suggests. Instead, PMC’s position is that the meaning of these terms is clear
`
`from their context and that they need no construction. Zynga’s proposal creates confusion, as,
`
`for example, when it is applied to the claim phrase “executing processor instructions” in ‘251
`
`Claim 17. Ex. 2 at 288:30-33. Zynga agrees that this processor “of course must of course [sic]
`
`be able to execute instructions” – and Zynga supports that conclusion by looking at the context
`
`of the term, something that the jury is equally capable of doing. Zynga Br. 10.
`
`V.
`
`The “Programming” Terms
`
`Zynga points to the following statement from a reexamination of a related patent to sup-
`
`
`2 Zynga relies in part on a claim construction of “video” from an unrelated case. See
`Zynga Br. 6 n.7. The court in that case simply rejected a construction supported “by reference
`only to a single piece of extrinsic evidence” in favor of a construction supported by the intrinsic
`evidence. Civix-DDI, LLC v. Hotels.com, L.P., No. 05-C-06869, 2010 WL 4386475, at *17
`(N.D. Ill. Oct 25, 2010). Here, the same focus on the intrinsic evidence shows why Zynga’s
`construction is wrong. See PMC Br. 9-12.

`
`
`port its argument that “programming” must be broadcast programming: “it is clear that
`
`‘programming’ can most broadly be defined as content designed for broadcast from one-to-
`
`many.” Zynga Br. 12 (citing Zynga Br. Ex. 20, at 3-4, ECF No. 83-5). Yet Zynga’s proposed
`
`construction goes far beyond what the Examiner stated.3 Where the Examiner said “designed for
`
`broadcast,” Zynga has substituted “that is simultaneously broadcast.” While the Examiner was
`
`focused on the content of the programming, Zynga is focused on how the programming is
`
`transmitted. Content designed for broadcast may ultimately be transmitted some other way, but
`
`Zynga’s construction would require a broadcast transmission. See Ex 4. at 5:5-9 (“many means
`
`and methods exist in the prior art for recording television or audio programming and/or data on
`
`magnetic, optical or other recording media and for retransmitting prerecorded program-
`
`ming”). The issue before the Examiner was whether “programming” described content designed
`
`for a one-to-one transmission (such as a telephone call) or whether it included content designed
`
`for a one-to-many transmission (such as a television program). The Examiner correctly
`
`determined that it was the latter. As for how “programming” can be transmitted, the only
`
`limitation suggested by the patent is that it be transmitted “electronically.” Ex. 4 at 6:32-35; see
`
`id. at 175:31-33 (“all forms of electronically transmitted programming”).
`
`Not satisfied with adding a “broadcast” limitation to the claims, Zynga’s construction
`
`goes even further by requiring a particular type of “broadcast” – a simultaneous broadcast. The
`
`word “simultaneous” occurs nowhere in the reexamination document on which Zynga relies. See
`
`Zynga Br. Ex. 20, ECF No. 83-5. Further, the specification describes embodiments in which
`
`
`3 Zynga’s argument reverses the proper procedure laid out in Phillips. See Phillips v.
`AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1315 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc) (“[t]he best source for understand-
`ing a technical term is the specification from which it arose, informed, as needed, by the
`prosecution history”); id. at 1317 (“[the prosecution history] often lacks the clarity of the
`specification and thus is less useful for claim construction purposes”).

`
`
`transmissions are not simultaneous: “a remote distribution station can transmit to a plurality of
`
`intermediate transmission stations programming that is scheduled for delayed transmission,
`
`cause each station of said plurality automatically to select and retransmit programming
`
`according to its own specific schedule.” Ex. 4 at 176:10-15; see id. at 231:57-67.
`
`Zynga argues that its proposed construction of “complete programming” requires that the
`
`programming be “truly complete” and accuses PMC of misleading the Court by replacing four
`
`words in the claim with an ellipsis – but Zynga offers no explanation for how those four words
`
`are relevant to the meaning of “complete.” Zynga Br. 12-13. Instead, in the very next sentence
`
`(which begins with the phrase “read in full”), Zynga omits the four words “by accessing
`
`prestored data,” which provide the context required to determine the meaning of “complete.” Id.
`
`Completeness is determined by context because something complete in one context may
`
`be incomplete in another context. For example, this sentence is a complete sentence, but it is not
`
`a complete reply brief. One must likewise consider the context in determining whether
`
`programming is complete, and the claim provides that context – “a portion to be completed by
`
`accessing prestored data.” PMC Br. Ex. 1 at 286:61-62, ECF No. 77-1 (“Ex. 1”). The claim
`
`defines what is missing, and when that missing portion is completed, the programming is
`
`complete. Zynga’s requirements that the programming be “truly complete” and “in its intended
`
`final form” have no support.
`
`VI.
`
`“Control Signal” and “Instruct Signals”
`
`As with the “video” terms, Zynga’s construction of these terms is a moving target. Orig-
`
`inally, Zynga argued that the signals must trigger the receiving device to act; now Zynga argues
`
`that the signals must cause an “immediate execution” rather than a “delayed execution.” Zynga
`
`Br. 15-16. Zynga also now argues that the signals must not be afforded a characteristic of
`
`computer programs, while simultaneously conceding that the signals “can contain an embedded

`
`
`computer program.” Id.4 Zynga further now argues that these terms “should be construed to
`
`included [sic] the limitations of a SPAM signal.” Zynga Br. 16. PMC asserts that these terms do
`
`not require construction, as this court previously held.5 PMC Br. 18.
`
`VII.
`
`The “Remote” Terms
`
`Zynga argues that the data in “remote data source” must be “factual information” such as
`
`“stock price data, a recipe, or farm plan data.” 6 Zynga Br. 17-18. Zynga also expresses its
`
`conviction that “[t]he jury will understand the difference between fact and fiction.” Id.7 But
`
`what the jury will likely not understand is why it would ever be asked to make such a distinction
`
`simply to determine whether something is “data.” “[W]hen claim language is broader than the
`
`preferred embodiment, it is well-settled that claims are not to be confined to that embodiment.”
`
`DSW, Inc. v. Shoe Pavilion, Inc., 537 F.3d 1342, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2008). The claims make no
`
`distinction between fact and fiction, and neither should the jury. Further, the specification
`
`discusses entertainment – which would certainly include more than just “factual” information
`
`as Zynga appears to define “fact.” Ex. 4 at 2:1.
`
`Zynga also argues that a “station” must be “stationary.” For support, Zynga points to the
`
`4 Zynga tries without basis to draw a line between an instruct signal containing a software
`module and an instruct signal that is a software module. See Zynga Br. 16 n.19. The instruct
`signals in ‘683 Claim 2 can include “one or more of a software module and a data module.” In
`situations where the instruct signal includes only one software module, then there is nothing to
`prevent the instruct signal from being the software module – nothing else need be included.
`5 PMC’s proposed construction for “signal” in EchoStar was not limited to an “impulse,”
`as Zynga suggests. Zynga Br. 14 n.18. PMC proposed “a detectable physical quantity or
`impulse by which messages or information can be transmitted.” PMC Br. Ex. 5 at 21.
`6 The Modern Dictionary of Electronics (cited by Zynga for other terms) defines “data”
`as: “A general term used to denote any or all facts, numbers, letters, and symbols, or facts that
`refer to or describe an object, idea, condition, situation, or other factors. It connotes basic
`elements of information which can be processed or produced by a computer.” RUDOLF F. GRAF,
`MODERN DICTIONARY OF ELECTRONICS 171 (5th ed. 1977), attached as Ex. 9; see also Zynga Br.
`Ex. 16, ECF No. 83-1 (defining “data” as “any representations such as characters or analog
`quantities to which meaning might be assigned”).
`7 Zynga’s fact/fiction distinction would only confuse the jury. For example, is the score
`of a baseball game fact or fiction? What if the baseball game is a video game?

`
`
`specification and argues that it envisioned user stations only “in fixed establishments such as ‘a
`
`home, an office, a theater, a hotel, or any other station.’” Zynga Br. at 19 (quoting Ex. 4 at
`
`201:56-57). Yet Zynga offers no basis for its apparent conclusion that “any other station” must
`
`be a “fixed establishment.” Zynga also cites extrinsic evidence, pointing to the third definition
`
`of “station” in a data processing glossary. Zynga Br. at 19 n. 24 (citing Zynga Br. Ex. 18, ECF
`
`No. 83-3). It is clear why Zynga skipped over the first definition: “One of the input or output
`
`points of a system that uses communication facilities: for example, the telephone set in the
`
`telephone system… .” Zynga Br. Ex. 18. It is likewise clear why Zynga did not cite the Modern
`
`Dictionary of Electronics (which it cites for other terms): “1. One or more transmitters,
`
`receivers, and accessory equipment required to carry on a definite radio communication service.
`
`… 2. An input or output point in a communications system, such as the telephone set in a
`
`telephone system…” Ex. 9. These extrinsic definitions include no “stationary” requirements,
`
`and they agree with the ordinary meaning of “station” as simply a terminal point.
`
`If Zynga’s construction of “station” were correct, one would not expect to find “portable
`
`station” or “mobile station” in the intrinsic evidence, and yet both terms are used. See U.S.
`
`Patent 3,896,266, attached as Ex. 10 at 15:5 (“portable station”); U.S. Patent 4,411,017, attached
`
`as Ex. 11 at 1:21 (“mobile station”).8
`
`VIII.
`
`The “Locally Generated” Terms
`
`Zynga incorrectly argues that the combination shown in Figure 1C is never described in
`
`the patents as having been “generated.” First, with Figure 1A being a component of Figure 1C, it
`
`is unclear how Zynga can agree that Figure 1A is generated while disagreeing that Figure 1C is
`
`generated. See PMC Br. 22. Second, despite Zynga’s assertion to the contrary, the patents state
`
`8 Each of these patents is cited on the faces of the Asserted Patents. See Ex. 12; Ex. 13.
`Prior art cited in a patent is intrinsic evidence. See V-Formation, Inc. v. Benetton Group SPA,
`401 F.3d 1307, 1311 (Fed. Cir. 2005).

`
`
`that Figure 1C is “generated.” In particular, the “Wall Street Week” portfolio example is called
`
`an example of “combined medium programming,” and the patents later describe “the generating
`
`and combining of combined medium programming.” Ex. 4 at 15:10-12; 22:15-16. Thus, there is
`
`no basis for Zynga’s proposed construction that “combining multiple images for display does not
`
`constitute generating a new image.”
`
`IX.
`
`The “Benefit Datum” Term
`
`Zynga’s proposed construction for “explain a benefit” would improperly limit the claim
`
`to a particular type of explanation. Zynga provides a quote (with ellipses) from the specification
`
`in support of its construction. Zynga Br. 22. Yet, when Zynga’s ellipses are filled in, the quote
`
`illustrates why Zynga’s proposal is too narrow:
`
`None has any capacity to explain automatically why any given information might
`be of particular interest to any subscriber or why any subscriber might wish to se-
`lect information that is not selected or how any subscriber might wish to change
`the way selected information is processed.
`
`Ex. 4 at 3:9-14. The complete quotation illustrates three different examples in which a benefit
`
`(or any information) can be explained. The second example (“why any subscriber might wish to
`
`select information that is not selected”) would include the type of explanation that Zynga’s
`
`construction would exclude: stating the existence of the benefit, and thereby explaining why it
`
`should be selected. Only one of the three examples uses the word “how,” yet Zynga’s proposal
`
`would impose that limitation on all explanations.
`
`X.
`
`The “Combined Medium Presentation” Elements
`
`Zynga is clear in its intention to limit a “combined medium presentation” to “a particular
`
`type of combination.” Zynga Br. 23 (emphasis original). Zynga incorrectly argues that the
`
`following excerpt from the patents defines the term to require broadcast content:
`
`Today great potential exists for combining the capacity of broadcast communica-
`tions media to convey ideas with the capacity of computers to process and output
`
`8

`
`Case 2:12-cv-00068-JRG-RSP Document 86 Filed 03/26/13 Page 12 of 15 PageID #: 4971
`
`
`user specific information. One such combination would provide a new radio-
`based or broadcast print medium with the capacity for conveying general infor-
`mation to large audiences—e.g., “Stock prices rose today in heavy trading,”—
`with information of specific relevance to each particular user in the audience—
`e.g., “but the value of your stock portfolio went down.” (Hereinafter, the new me-
`dia that result from such combinations are called “combined” media.)
`
`Ex. 4 at 1:55-65. The natural antecedent for the phrase “such combinations” in the final sentence
`
`is the “[o]ne such combination” in the previous sentence. The key feature of that combination is
`
`not the source of the information being combined (radio or broadcast print for the general
`
`information) but rather is the type of information being combined (general information being
`
`conveyed to large audiences combined with information of specific relevance to each particular
`
`user). The immediately preceding discussion makes the same distinction: content that “is the
`
`same for every viewer” versus “user specific information.” Ex. 4 at 1:39, 46-47. The “great
`
`potential” envisioned by the inventors involves the type of information that is combined, not the
`
`source of the information that is combined. Ex. 4 at 1:55-58.
`
`XI.
`
`“Commercial”
`
`Claim 1 of the ‘717 patent includes a step of “receiving information content,” and de-
`
`pendent Claim 4 further specifies that the “information content comprises a commercial.” Ex. 4
`
`at 287:18-21, 39-40. Zynga’s proposal would limit a “commercial” to a particular type of
`
`advertisement – yet the patents use the terms interchangeably. See, e.g., Ex. 4 at 3:42 (“‘local
`
`spot’ advertisements”); 283:60-61 (“spot commercials”).
`
`XII.
`
`The “Remotely Originated Data” Term
`
`In addition to its needless redrafting of this claim element, Zynga once again asks the
`
`Court to limit “data” to only factual data. Such a construction is improper for the reasons
`
`discussed above in Section VII regarding the “remote” terms.

`
`
`XIII.
`
`The “Audio Which Describes” Term
`
`Zynga argues that the claimed descriptive audio must be audible words because the speci-
`
`fication examples use audible words. Although descriptions may often be conveyed with words,
`
`there is no basis for limiting the claim to such descriptions. Also, Zynga is wrong when it argues
`
`that “program theme music” cannot describe a video presentation. The theme music for “Wall
`
`Street Week,” for example, includes the sound of a stock ticker. See PMC’s Technical Tutorial.
`
`Further, the BPAI “agree[d] with the Examiner that the audio portion of a television program
`
`often, although not always, describes (at least indirectly) what is happening in the video” – with
`
`no restriction to audible words. PMC Br. Ex. 6 at 81, ECF No. 77-6.
`
`XIV.
`
`The “Schedule” Term
`
`Zynga’s proposal effectively changes “schedule” in ‘717 Claim 7 to “predetermined
`
`schedule.” If all Zynga means by “predetermined” is that the schedule must exist before it is
`
`used, then there is no need to add such a requirement. If, instead, Zynga means that the schedule
`
`cannot be created in response to user specific data, then Zynga’s proposal should again be
`
`rejected because it is counter to the disclosure in the specification. See PMC Br. 28.
`
`XV.
`
`“Peripheral Device”
`
`Zynga asserts that memory units, disk drives, and modems would “typically” have been
`
`physically external at the time of the invention. Zynga Br. 30 n.29. However, the “IBM PC
`
`MICRO COMPUTER” in Figure 8 of the patents included built-in disk drives and internal
`
`expansion slots for built-in memory and a built-in modem.9 Further, even if Zynga were correct
`
`that such devices were “typically” external devices at the time, “typically” is not “always” – and
`
`Zynga’s proposed construction would require that the devices always be physically external.
