`PATENT OWNER’S RESPONSE TO PETITIONER’S
`PAPER NO. 47 REGARDING PATENT OWNER’S
`STATEMENTS IN IPR2019-00358

`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00908
`Patent No. 5,796,183
`The issue on remand is not whether a POSITA would have expected success
`
`in generically “modifying the Ingraham I-Caldwell combination” to “provide
`
`multiple frequencies to a touch pad.” Paper 47 at 1. It is whether a POSITA would
`
`have expected success in making the specific Caldwell-Ingraham I-Gerpheide
`
`combination asserted by Samsung. See Samsung Elecs. Co. v. UUSI, LLC, 775 F.
`
`App'x 692, 697 (Fed. Cir. 2019); see also Paper 2 at 28 (asserting that a POSITA
`
`“would have been motivated to incorporate interference negating functionality
`
`similar to that described by Gerpheide in the . . . Ingraham I-Caldwell system”)
`
`(emphasis added). Neither Gerpheide, Ingraham I nor Caldwell is at issue in
`
`IPR2019-00358. Rather, in that IPR, Apple is asserting entirely different references,
`
`including “Chiu” and “Schwarzbach.” Ex. 1019 at 1-3. Since Ingraham I, Caldwell
`
`and Gerpheide are not at issue in IPR2019-00358, Nartron could not possibly have
`
`“admitted,” in that IPR, that a POSITA would have had a reasonable expectation of
`
`success in combining those references. Nartron simply made no such admission.
`
`To the contrary, Nartron’s statements in IPR2019-00358 relate solely to the
`
`adequacy of the written description of the ‘183 patent. Ex. 1019 at 19-28. Those
`
`statements have no bearing on whether, without the benefit of the ‘183 patent’s
`
`disclosure, a POSITA would have had a reasonable expectation of success in
`
`combining Caldwell, Ingraham I and Gerpheide, to arrive at the claimed invention.
`
`Thus, Nartron’s statements in IPR2019-00358 are irrelevant to this remand.
