`
`INTRODUCTION
`Petitioner submits this opening brief pursuant to the Board’s September 5,
`
`2019 Order (Paper 41). This brief addresses the four issues mentioned in the Order,
`
`including reasonable expectation of success for the Ingraham I-Caldwell-Gerpheide
`
`combination and the construction of “supply voltage,” as recited in claim 37.
`
`First, the uncontested evidence (including the teachings of the prior art itself)
`
`demonstrates that a POSITA would have had a reasonable expectation of success in
`
`combining the teachings of Gerpheide with the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination
`
`consistent with well-established precedent, including the Federal Circuit’s decision
`
`in Samsung Elecs. Co. v. UUSI, LLC, 775 F. App'x 692, 697 (Fed. Cir. 2019).
`
`Second, Samsung’s uncontested evidence also demonstrates the reasonable
`
`expectation of success in combining the teachings of Wheeler with the Ingraham I-
`
`Caldwell-Gerpheide combination. Third, “supply voltage” in claim 37 should not
`
`be limited to the “oscillator” supply voltage because the plain and ordinary meaning
`
`of “supply voltage” is simply a voltage supplied to a circuit component but it is not
`
`limited to a particular circuit component or device. Likewise, there is no definition
`
`or disavowal in the ’183 patent specification or the prosecution history that would
`
`compel limiting “supply voltage” to that of the “oscillator” in particular. Finally,
`
`Petitioner’s evidence shows that claims 37-39 are unpatentable.
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`Hence, for the reasons set forth below and based on the totality of the evidence
`
`in this proceeding, claims 37-41, 43, 45, 47, 48, 61-67, 69, 83-86, 88, 90, 91, 94, 96,
`
`97, 99, 101, and 102 of the ’183 patent should be found unpatentable and canceled.
`
`II. ARGUMENT
`Samsung’s Uncontested Evidence Demonstrates That a POSITA
`A.
`Would Have Expected Reasonable Success in Combining the
`Teachings of Gerpheide with
`the
`Ingraham
`I-Caldwell
`Combination
`The Federal Circuit held that the reasonable expectation of success test must
`
`be tied to the claimed invention and thus Samsung was only required to demonstrate
`
`that there was a reasonable expectation that the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination
`
`could have been modified to select a frequency from multiple frequencies and
`
`provide the selected “frequency” to the entire touch pad. Samsung Elecs., 775 F.
`
`App'x at 697. Applying this test, Samsung’s uncontested evidence demonstrates that
`
`a POSITA would have expected reasonable success in combining the teachings of
`
`Ingraham I, Caldwell, and Gerpheide.
`
`For instance, it is uncontested that the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination
`
`includes a microcontroller and an oscillator, as shown by the exemplary block level
`
`diagram (see below) of the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination set forth in the
`
`declaration of Samsung’s expert
`
`(Dr. Vivek Subramanian), where
`
`the
`
`microcontroller selectively provides the oscillator frequency to the input touch
`
`terminals (i.e., the touch pad). (Ex. 1002, ¶¶64-68.)
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`
`
`(Id., ¶64.) Dr. Subramanian further explained that, in view of Gerpheide’s teachings
`
`regarding frequency selection for interference negation, a POSITA would have been
`
`motivated1 and capable of configuring the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination such
`
`that an oscillator frequency would be selected from a plurality of frequencies and
`
`provided to the touch pad array. (Id., ¶¶69-72). He testified that the selection of the
`
`frequency would be performed by the microcontroller. (Id., ¶69.) He further
`
`testified that the above modification of the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination based
`
`on Gerpheide was “predictable” and within the capability of a skilled artisan. (Id.,
`
`¶72; Ex. 1017, ¶14.)
`
`
`1 As the Federal Circuit held, a POSITA would have been motivated to combine
`
`Gerpheide’s teachings with the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination. Samsung Elecs.,
`
`775 F. App'x at 696.
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`Gerpheide’s disclosure corroborated Dr. Subramanian’s above testimony.
`
`Specifically, Gerpheide discloses a microcontroller 102 that varies the oscillator
`
`signal frequency that is provided to the electrode array (the portions where the user
`
`touches). (Ex. 1012, Figs. 4 7, 6:5-8, 6:19-26, 8:22-9:33; Ex. 1002, ¶71.) Gerpheide
`
`explains that the microcontroller evaluates the interference and selects a new
`
`reference frequency for the oscillator, which is then provided to the touch pad array.
`
`(Ex. 1012, 8:22-9:33; Ex. 1002, ¶71.)
`
`UUSI never contested the above evidence. For instance, UUSI never argued
`
`that at the time of the alleged invention of the ’183 patent, a POSITA could not have
`
`configured the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination such that the microcontroller
`
`provided “frequencies” to the touch pad by selecting a frequency from available
`
`frequencies.2 Instead, via its declarant (Dr. Darran Cairns), UUSI’s argument
`
`
`2 UUSI could not have argued so because the ’183 patent does not disclose some
`
`novel configuration for a microcontroller that is able to provide multiple frequencies.
`
`In fact, the ’183 patent does not even disclose a microcontroller that provides
`
`“frequencies.” (Ex. 1002, ¶69 n.7.) The Board found as much in another IPR
`
`involving the ’183 patent, where the Board noted that the disclosed microcontroller
`
`in the ’183 patent only provides a singular frequency during operation of the touch
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`focused on the bodily incorporation of Gerpheide’s interference algorithm and the
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`physical differences between the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination and Gerpheide.
`
`(Ex. 2010, ¶¶ 115-118). In the four paragraphs of Dr. Cairns’ testimony, he included
`
`one citation to Gerpheide and never addressed Gerpheide’s teaching that a
`
`microcontroller could select an oscillator frequency from among multiple
`
`frequencies. (Id.) His testimony was irrelevant to the proper test for reasonable
`
`expectation of success. For instance, he stated, without even a citation to Gerpheide,
`
`that the “drift in position used to determine interference would not work with the
`
`Ingraham I-Caldwell system because Caldwell has an array of pads, not just one
`
`pad.” (Id., ¶ 117). Neither did he explain what he meant by “drift in position.” (Id.,
`
`¶¶ 115-18.)
`
`Thus, given the evidence of record in this proceeding, the only reasonable
`
`conclusion is that a POSITA would have expected reasonable success in combining
`
`the teachings of Gerpheide with the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination. Indeed, such
`
`a conclusion is consistent with patentee’s admission during its self-initiated
`
`reexamination that, based on Gerpheide’s teachings, a POSITA would have found it
`
`“obvious” to modify a single frequency touch circuit system to one where multiple
`
`
`circuit. Apple Inc. v. UUSI, LLC d/b/a Narton, IPR2019-00358, Paper No. 12 at 28-
`
`29 (August 5, 2019).
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`“frequencies” (i.e., plural frequencies) are provided to the touch terminals. (Ex.
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`1006 at 331; Pet. at 27 n7.) By stating that such a modification is “obvious,” patentee
`
`necessarily admitted that there would have been a reasonable expectation of success
`
`for making the modification.
`
`B.
`
`Samsung’s Uncontested Evidence Demonstrates That a POSITA
`Would Have Expected Reasonable Success in Combining the
`Teachings of Wheeler with the Ingraham I-Caldwell-Gerpheide
`Combination
`The Federal Circuit’s decision does not directly address the Ingraham I-
`
`Caldwell-Gerpheide-Wheeler combination relevant to claims 47, 48, 62, 63, and 84.
`
`But the decision is nonetheless instructive in that it confirms well-settled law that
`
`reasonable expectation of success must be shown for the “claimed” invention (not
`
`unclaimed features). Samsung Elecs., 775 F. App'x at 697. As explained in
`
`Samsung’s petition and supporting evidence, a POSITA would have had a
`
`reasonable expectation of success combining the teachings of Wheeler with the
`
`Ingraham I-Caldwell-Gerpheide combination.
`
`Specifically, claim 47 requires the comparison of the sensed body capacitance
`
`change to ground to a “second threshold level to generate the control output signal.”
`
`Dr. Subramanian explained that the Ingraham I-Caldwell-Gerpheide combination
`
`would be have been modified based on Wheeler to include logic that would prevent
`
`generation of the control signal until two input portions 13 (in Ingraham I) are
`
`activated in sequence, which would require comparison of the body capacitance
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`change with a first threshold (corresponding to a first input portion 13) and a second
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`threshold (corresponding to a second input portion 13). (Ex. 1002, ¶¶139-141.) He
`
`testified that “one of ordinary skill at the time of the alleged invention for the ’183
`
`patent would have had the knowledge and capability to make this modification with
`
`predictable success . . . .” (Id., ¶142.) UUSI’s declarant simply did not address Dr.
`
`Subramanian’s expert opinion and only submitted an unsupportable allegation that
`
`Wheeler is in a different field. (Ex. 2010, ¶178.) Thus, Samsung’s uncontested
`
`evidence demonstrates that a POSITA would have had a reasonable expectation of
`
`success in combining the teachings of Wheeler with the Ingraham I-Caldwell-
`
`Gerpheide combination.
`
`C.
`
`“Supply Voltage” in Claim 37 Should Not
`Be Limited To the Oscillator Supply Voltage
`Claim 37 recites, inter alia, “an oscillator providing a periodic output signal
`
`having a predefined frequency, wherein an oscillator voltage is greater than a supply
`
`voltage.” (Ex. 1001 at 35 (2:45-47).) In the Institution Decision, the Board
`
`construed “supply voltage” as recited in claim 37 as “a supply voltage of the
`
`oscillator.” (Paper 12 at 9 (emphasis added).) Samsung respectfully submits that
`
`this preliminary construction is not correct. First, the plain and ordinary meaning of
`
`“supply voltage” is not limited to a particular device (e.g., oscillator). Second, by
`
`limiting “supply voltage” to the oscillator supply voltage, the Institution Decision
`
`7
`
`

`

`
`improperly limited claim 37 to an exemplary embodiment while excluding from the
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`scope of claim 37 other embodiments of the ’183 patent.
`
`1. The Plain and Ordinary Meaning of “Supply Voltage”
`Is Not Limited to the Oscillator Supply Voltage
`It is well-settled that “claim terms must be given their plain and ordinary
`
`meaning to one of skill in the art.” Thorner v. Sony Comput. Entm’t Am. LLC, 669
`
`F.3d 1362, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (citing Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1316). “There are only
`
`two exceptions to this general rule: 1) when a patentee sets out a definition and acts
`
`as his own lexicographer, or 2) when the patentee disavows the full scope of a claim
`
`term either in the specification or during prosecution.” Id. at 1365 (citing Vitronics
`
`Corp. v. Conceptronic, Inc., 90 F.3d 1576, 1580 (Fed.Cir.1996)).
`
`The plain and ordinary meaning of “supply voltage” is simply the voltage
`
`supplied to a circuit component. But claim 37 does not specify whether the claimed
`
`“supply voltage” is limited to the voltage supply of a particular component (e.g., a
`
`microcontroller or oscillator). The claim simply recites that “an oscillator voltage is
`
`greater than a supply voltage” of any unspecified component, not that the oscillator
`
`voltage is greater than a supply voltage “of the oscillator” in particular, as construed
`
`in the Institution Decision. Moreover, the presence of “a” before “supply voltage”
`
`suggests that the claimed “supply voltage” is not referring to a particular component.
`
`Thus, Samsung respectfully disagrees that the construction set forth in the Institution
`
`Decision is “grounded in the plain language of the claim.” Decision on Rehearing
`
`8
`
`

`

`
`(Paper 17) at 5. While it is true that “punctuation and transition term[s]” should be
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`considered in determining the meaning of a claim term, the presence of a
`
`“semicolon” after “supply voltage” and the use of the transition term “wherein” do
`
`not compel the preliminary construction. Id. at 5.
`
`Moreover, the language of other claims of the ’183 patent counsels against the
`
`narrow interpretation of “supply voltage” in the Institution Decision. For instance,
`
`claims 54 and 55 recite that the “supply voltage is a battery supply voltage” and “the
`
`supply voltage is a voltage regulator supply voltage,” respectively. (See also Ex.
`
`1001 at claims 81, 82, 90, 91, 101, 102.) These claims indicate that if patentee
`
`wanted to be more specific regarding the scope of “supply voltage” in claim 37, it
`
`would have done so. Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1314 (Fed. Cir. 2005)
`
`(en banc) (“the usage of a term in one claim can often illuminate the meaning of the
`
`same term in other claims.”) Given the patentee did not limit the “supply voltage”
`
`in claim 37 in any fashion when it could have easily done so, the term should not
`
`now be limited to a supply voltage “of the oscillator.” See Enzo Biochem, Inc. v.
`
`Applera Corp., 599 F.3d 1325, 1333 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (rejecting construction that
`
`added limitation where “applicants knew how to claim . . . but specifically omitted
`
`that language from the claims”). Here, patentee intentionally sought and obtained
`
`from the patent office a broad claim scope for the “supply voltage” term; it is only
`
`fair that patentee bear the consequences of that choice.
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`2. Nothing in the Specification or the Prosecution History
`Compels Limiting “Supply Voltage” Beyond Its Plain
`and Ordinary Meaning
`The Institution Decision reads in an added limitation “of the oscillator” to the
`
`otherwise broad term “supply voltage” because, according to the decision, “[s]uch
`
`an understanding is consistent with the Specification, which discloses voltage
`
`regulator 100 provides supply voltages 104, 105, and 106 to oscillator 200.”
`
`(Paper 12 at 9, citing Ex. 1001, 11:64-12:29, Figs. 4, 5.) But an exemplary
`
`embodiment cannot limit the claim “absent a clear indication in the intrinsic record
`
`that the patentee intended the claims to be so limited.” GE Lighting Sols., LLC v.
`
`AgiLight, Inc., 750 F.3d 1304, 1309 (Fed. Cir. 2014), reh’g denied (June 17, 2014)
`
`(citations omitted). Indeed, in the absence of definition or disavowal, claim terms
`
`must be given their plain and ordinary meaning. Thorner, 669 F.3d at 1365. Here,
`
`there is no clear indication (e.g., a definition or disavowal or disclaimer) in the
`
`specification or the prosecution history that would compel limiting “supply voltage”
`
`beyond its plain and ordinary meaning. The portion of the specification cited by the
`
`Board (Ex. 1001, 11:64-12:29, Figs. 4, 5) only provides an example in which the
`
`oscillator output voltage is greater than the oscillator supply voltage. It does not
`
`purport to define “supply voltage” as limited to that “of the oscillator” and thus
`
`cannot serve to limit the otherwise broader “supply voltage” limitation beyond its
`
`plain meaning. Thorner, 669 F.3d at 1365.
`
`10
`
`

`

`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`If anything, the specification shows that the term “supply voltage” should not
`
`be limited to the oscillator supply voltage because doing so would exclude from the
`
`claim scope other embodiments in which the claimed “supply voltage” is the supply
`
`voltage of other components (e.g., microcontroller and voltage regulator).
`
`Specifically, the limitation at issue requires “wherein an oscillator voltage is greater
`
`than a supply voltage.” (Ex. 1001 at 35 (2:45-47).) The embodiment described with
`
`reference to Figure 4 (reproduced below) discloses that the output voltage of the
`
`oscillator 200 is 26V. (Id. at 12:6-8, FIG. 4.) In that embodiment, a floating
`
`common generator 300 receives the 26V signal from oscillator 200 and “supplie[s]”
`
`a 21V signal to microcontroller 500 on line 301. (Id. at 12:13-22, FIG. 4.) The
`
`embodiment of Figure 11 retains this aspect of the Figure 4 embodiment. (Id. at
`
`18:34-43; compare id. at FIG. 4, with FIG. 11.) Therefore, in both the Figure 4 and
`
`Figure 11 embodiments, the “supply voltage” for microcontroller 500 is a 21V
`
`signal. Because the oscillator output voltage (i.e., 26V) is greater than the
`
`microcontroller 500 supply voltage (i.e., 21V), the microcontroller 500 supply
`
`voltage satisfies the requirement of claim 37 that “an oscillator voltage is greater
`
`than a supply voltage.”
`
`11
`
`

`

`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`
`
`(Id. at FIG. 4 (annotated).)
`
`Similarly, voltage regulator 100 includes “input lines 101 and 102 for
`
`receiving a 24 V AC line voltage.” (Id. at 11:64-66 (emphasis added), FIG. 4.) The
`
`oscillator 200 output voltage (i.e., 26V) is also greater than the 24V supply voltage
`
`provided on lines 101 and 102 as a result of which the voltage regulator 100 “supply
`
`voltage” also satisfies the requirement of claim that “an oscillator voltage is greater
`
`than a supply voltage.” Therefore, the ’183 patent discloses a supply voltage for
`
`each of microcontroller 200 and voltage regulator 100 that satisfies the plain
`
`language of claim 37.
`
`As such, “supply voltage” should not be limited to the oscillator supply
`
`voltage because doing so would exclude other embodiments of the specification.
`
`12
`
`

`

`
`Oatey Co. v. IPS Corp., 514 F.3d 1271, 1276 (Fed. Cir. 2008) (“We normally do not
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`interpret claim terms in a way that excludes embodiments disclosed in the
`
`specification.”); Canon, Inc. v. Intellectual Ventures II LLC, IPR2014-00631, Paper
`
`No. 50 at 12-13 (Aug. 19, 2015) (not limiting scope of “selecting” to selecting by a
`
`“user” when specification suggested that the selection could also be performed by
`
`the “image capture device”).
`
`Nor does the prosecution history compel the narrow construction in the
`
`Institution Decision. The limitation “wherein an oscillator voltage is greater than a
`
`supply voltage” was added during reexamination without any indication that “supply
`
`voltage” should be limited to the oscillator supply voltage. (Ex. 1005 at 16-52.) In
`
`fact, the prosecution history supports Petitioner’s interpretation that “supply
`
`voltage” is not limited to the oscillator supply voltage. This is because when
`
`describing the support in the ’183 patent for this limitation, patentee referenced
`
`portions of the ’183 specification that discuss the voltage regulator supply voltage.
`
`(Id. at 42 (citing Ex. 1001 at 12:50-57, 12:58-13:31).)
`
`Thus, Petitioner respectfully submits that in contrast to the Institution
`
`Decision’s limiting construction, the plain and ordinary meaning of the claimed “a
`
`supply voltage,” as applied by Petitioner in the Petition (Paper 2 at 11-15 (no
`
`construction offered), 18-19 (Ground 1, claim element 37(c)), is consistent with and
`
`supported by evidence of record, namely the ’183 patent (Ex. 1001) and the
`
`13
`
`

`

`
`prosecution history (Ex. 1004). Consequently, Petitioner respectfully requests that
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00908
`
`the Board reconsider its preliminary construction of “supply voltage” and interpret
`
`the term consistent with the ’183 patent specification and the term’s plain and
`
`ordinary meaning, which can include “a supply voltage” of components other than
`
`the oscillator.
`
`Petitioner’s Evidence Shows That Claims 37-39 Are Unpatentable
`D.
`The Board denied institution (and hence, found that Petitioner could not
`
`prevail with respect to claims 37-39) by erroneously limiting “supply voltage” in
`
`claim 37 to the supply voltage of the oscillator. As discussed above in Section II.A,
`
`“supply voltage” is not so limited and when given its proper breadth, Ingraham I in
`
`combination with Caldwell discloses “an oscillator voltage [that] is greater than a
`
`supply voltage” as claimed. (Paper 2 at 18-19; Ex. 1002 at ¶ 50.) For instance,
`
`Ingraham I, via the incorporated teachings of Ingraham II, discloses that an
`
`oscillator voltage (115V) is greater than a supply voltage (15V) of the
`
`microcomputer 80 in the combined Ingraham I-Caldwell system. (Pet. at 19; Ex.
`
`1002 at ¶¶ 50-51.) Moreover, the remaining claim limitations of claims 37-39 are
`
`disclosed by the Ingraham I-Caldwell-Gerpheide combination and the evidence of
`
`record in this proceeding demonstrates that a POSITA would have been motivated
`
`to combine the teachings of these references to reach the claimed invention with a
`
`reasonable expectation of success. (Pet. at 15-39; Ex. 1002 at ¶¶41-88.)
