`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`
`Patent Owner TQ Delta, LLC (“Patent Owner”) submits this motion for
`
`observation regarding cross-examination of Dr. Sayfe Kiaei, a reply declarant for
`
`Petitioner.
`
`Observation #1: In Ex. 2017, on page 90, line 19 to page 91, line 7, Dr. Kiaei
`
`testified that the superframe structure and initialization described in the ADSL
`
`Standard, Ex. 1009 are ADSL standard requirements: “So the framing structure is
`
`one of those ADSL standard requirements, and initialization exchange and all that
`
`stuff is part of that as well.” This testimony is relevant to Dr. Kiaei’s declaration
`
`testimony that “even if Yamano’s burst-mode protocol does not result in a
`
`continuous stream of superframes [as required by the ADSL standard], a POSITA
`
`would still find Yamano and the ANSI standard compatible.” (Ex. 1012 at ¶ 23).
`
`The testimony is relevant because it contradicts Dr. Kiaei declaration testimony
`
`and Petitioner’s Reply assertion that Yamano’s burst-mode embodiment is
`
`compatible with the ADSL standard. See Reply at 19-20.
`
`Observation #_2: Dr. Kiaei admits that the objective of synchronization is to lock
`
`the frequency of the transmitter and the frequency of the receiver. Ex. 2017, at
`
`page 53, line 25 to page 54, line 3 (“THE WITNESS: In line 44 [of col. 5 of the
`
`’404 patent] its talking about locking the frequencies . . . . The objective of this
`
`whole operation is to lock the frequency of the transmitter and the frequency of the
`

`
`1
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`receiver.”)1. Separately, Dr. Kaiei admits that an embodiment described in the’268
`
`patent, performs synchronization of the frequency of the master clock of the
`
`transmitter with the CPE by using a PLL to minimize the difference/error between
`
`the master clock in the transmitter and the clock in the receiver. Ex. 2017, at page
`
`50, line 19 (“THE WITNESS: the PLL, that is one example of synchronization
`
`used here.”); id. at page 54, line 14 to page 55, line 5 (“THE WITNESS: The PLL
`
`is a block that the input of it is a reference clock . . . And the output signal has a
`
`frequency which is related to the input frequency. So what [the PLL] tries to do is
`
`to minimize the difference between the output frequency in a relationship . . . [The
`
`PLL] does look at a difference in the error in terms of output frequency and the
`
`input frequency.”); id. at page 55, lines 9 to 12 (“[The patent] is talking about the
`
`pilot tone . . . which has a pure tone of fixed frequency and phase. It’s
`
`synchronizing it with the receiver to make sure that the frequency of it is the same .
`
`. . .”) (emphasis added); See also, Ex. 2017, at pages 59, line 24-page 60, line 25
`
`(confirming PLL corrects errors as set forth in Ex. 2016 at p. 184).
`
`This testimony is relevant because it undermines Dr. Kiaei declaration
`
`testimony that “[t]he claims at issue . . . do [not] require correcting errors or
`
`differences in the timing between transceivers.” See Ex. 1012 at ¶ 5. This
`
`                                                            
`1 US Patent 9,094,268 and US Patent 8,611,404 share a common specification.
`2
`

`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation

`Patent No. 9,094,268

`testimony is further relevant because it confirms Dr. Chrissan’s opinions set forth
`
`in his declaration and deposition testimony regarding the proper construction of the
`
`claimed “maintaining synchronization with a second transceiver.” Ex. 2005 at ¶¶
`
`83-86 and Ex. 1011 at 63:4 – 69:1 and 83:11 – 89:6.
`
`Observation # 3: Dr. Kiaei admits that the objective of synchronization in the
`
`context of the ’268 patent specification is to lock the frequency of the transmitter
`
`and the frequency of the receiver. Ex. 2017, at page 53, line 25 to page 54, line 3
`
`(“THE WITNESS: In line 44 [of col. 5 of the ’404 patent] its talking about
`
`locking the frequencies . . . . The objective of this whole operation is to lock the
`
`frequency of the transmitter and the frequency of the receiver.”). Dr. Kiaei
`
`testified that in Yamano “[t]he synchronization is done to synchronize periodically
`
`enabling the non-idle detector such that the non-idle detector is activated and is
`
`enabled by the time that the non-idle detector signal arrives and is able to enable
`
`that to perform the -- to indicate there is a packet data coming or not.” Ex. 2004, at
`
`page 174, lines 18-24. Dr. Kiaei’s testimony is relevant because it supports Patent
`
`Owner and its Expert’s contention that Yamano does not disclose “maintaining
`
`synchronization with a second transceiver,” as this limitation is understood in view
`
`of the specification. Response at pages 29-34.
`
`Observation # 4: Dr. Kiaei agrees that bit allocation and fine gain parameters are
`

`
`3
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`derived, in part, from signal-to-noise ratio, that in turn is, in part, determined from
`
`attenuation that, in turn, is representative of the electronic characteristic of the
`
`loop. Ex. 2017, at page 14, lines 10-16 (“A. Yes if the line resistance changes, the
`
`attenuation of the line will change.”); Ex. 2017, at page 15, lines 14-17 (“THE
`
`WITNESS: . . . one of the parameters that determines the signal-to-noise ratio is
`
`the attenuation of the line.”); and Ex. 2017, at page 17, lines 4-7 (“[f]rom the
`
`signal-to-noise ratio and other parameters, [the modem] determines the bits and
`
`gains and so forth.”). Dr. Kiaei maintains that Bowie’s stored loop characteristics
`
`include not
`
`just parameters
`
`that are values representing
`
`the electronic
`
`characteristics of the particular wire loop but also include parameters like “signal
`
`to noise ratio and so forth, including bits and gains” that are, in part, a function of
`
`the electronic characteristics of the particular wire loop. Ex. 2017, at page 20,
`
`lines 5-8; Ex. 2004, page 56, lines 16-17 (“A. The number of bits is part of the
`
`characteristics -- the loop characteristics.”). However, in Wi-Lan Inc. v. Westell
`
`Tech., Inc., a patent infringement case involving Bowie, Ex. 1005, and where Dr.
`
`Kiaei was retained as plaintiff’s expert witness (see Ex. 1004 at. 4), the court
`
`interpreted Bowie’s loop characteristics as “values representing the electronic
`
`characteristics of the particular wire loop” and rejected a construction that Bowie’s
`
`loop characteristics are “values that are a function of the electronic characteristics
`

`
`4
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`of the particular wire loop.” Ex. 2017 at page 33, lines 17-23; and Ex. 2015 at p.
`
`26.
`
`This is relevant because the Wi-Lan court relied on Bowie’s disclosure at
`
`4:64-5:4 to reject the overbroad interpretation of Bowie’s loop characteristics that
`
`Plaintiff Wi-Lan, Dr. Kiaei’s purported client, advocated for and that Dr. Kiaei
`
`advocates for in this case. This is further relevant because it undermines
`
`Petitioner’s attorney argument that Bowie’s stored loop characteristics are
`
`“parameters associated with a full power mode.” Reply at p. 16.
`
`Observation # 5: Dr. Kiaei has, in this proceeding and other proceedings,
`
`consistently claimed in his Curriculum Vitae that he worked as plaintiff’s expert
`
`witness from 2007-2011 in a patent infringement action where Bowie (Ex. 1005)
`
`was asserted. Ex. 1004 (“8. 2007-2011 Wi-LAN, Inc. Vs. Wesrell (sic)
`
`Technologies, Mckool Smith, Representing Wi-LAN DSL Modem,
`
`Communications, Signal Processing”) (construing loop characteristics as noted in
`
`the prior observation); and IPR2015-01444, Ex. 1003 at p. 4. When asked about
`
`this listing on his C.V. at his deposition, and about his involvement in the Wi-LAN
`
`case, Dr. Kiaei testified inconsistently about his involvement and ultimately
`
`claimed that he had not worked on the matter. Ex. 2017, at pages 20-26 and 34-37
`
`(“I don’t remember all the details of it,” “I did not do any work,” “I did some
`

`
`5
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`consulting for them,” “I was not involved in that case by any means,” “[t]his is
`
`more of in-house . . . consulting with them as a technical consultant,” “they
`
`interviewed me. They talked to me a couple of times and that was it,” “I should
`
`actually delete that [case] from [my CV]”).
`
`This testimony is relevant because it goes to Dr. Kiaei’s general credibility
`
`and truthfulness. See Fed. R. Evid. 608. It is further relevant because the court in
`
`Wi-LAN v. Westell (Ex. 2015 at p. 26) interpreted Bowie’s disclosure of loop
`
`characteristics in a manner that contradicts Dr. Kiaei’s opinion, and confirms
`
`Patent Owner’s expert’s opinion (Ex. 2005 at ¶¶ 95-97) that Bowie’s loop
`
`characteristics are not parameters associated with the full power mode. It is further
`
`relevant because it undermines Petitioner’s contention that “Patent Owner’s attack
`
`on Dr. Kaiei’s” credibility has no merit. See Reply at 30.
`
`Observation # 6: Dr. Kiaei testified that Yamano does not discuss implementation
`
`details of its periodic poll or other timing signals. Ex. 2017 at page 113, line 19 to
`
`page 114, line 22 (“Q. Okay. . . . is the other periodic poll or other timing signal
`
`that is exchanged between the two ends, the far end transmitter and the near end
`
`receiver, is that in addition to the non-idle state signal and packet data? . . . . A.
`
`The implementation of the details of how the data is preceded by preamble or other
`
`things are not discussed in detail”); Ex. 2017 at page 121, lines 2-5 (“A. Okay. I
`

`
`6
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`guess what I want to point out here, the key issue in here is that it’s not the details
`
`of the implementation but that what the claim says in terms of a staying in the low
`
`power mode.”).
`
`This is relevant because Dr. Kiaei previously testified that designing ADSL
`
`systems is not trivial and is complicated (Ex. 2004, at page 198, lines 6-8
`
`(“Designing ADSL system is not parking your car in the garage. Designing ADSL
`
`system would require significant amount of timing.”)) and, thus, it undermines Dr.
`
`Kiaei reply declaration testimony that notwithstanding the lack of details in
`
`Yamano, modifying Bowie’s “circuitry to also detect a timing signal, as taught in
`
`Yamano, would be well within the level of a POSITA.” Ex. 1012 at ¶ 21. This is
`
`still further relevant because Petitioner and Dr. Kiaei have failed to addressed the
`
`specifics of how Bowie would be modified and/or combined with the disclosure of
`
`Yamano to render the claims obvious.
`
`Observation # 7: In Ex. 2017, at page 121, lines 2-5, Dr. Kiaei testified as
`
`follows: “A Okay. I guess what I want to point out here, the key issue in here is
`
`that it’s not the details of the implementation but that what the claim says in terms
`
`of a staying in the low power mode.” This is relevant because it shows that Dr.
`
`Kiaei used the claims to guide his understanding of Yamano and to supplement
`
`lack of details in Yamano. This is relevant because it supports Patent Owner’s
`

`
`7
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`contention that the entirety of Dr. Kiaei analysis is based on hindsight (Response at
`
`pages 40-43) and undermines Petitioner’s reply assertion that the Petition does not
`
`rely on hindsight (Reply at 21).
`
`Observation # 8: Dr. Kiaei admits that Yamano describes a single carrier system
`
`that would need to be modified for multicarrier operation. Ex. 2017, at page 71,
`
`lines 23-25 (referencing Ex. 1006, Fig. 4) (“THE WITNESS: I believe it could be
`
`an MCM receiver with some modifications or -- or clear definition of some of
`
`these blocks.”); Ex. 2017, at page 73, lines 2-19 (“Figure 400, looking at this, is a
`
`general receiver structure, which can be modified . . . “). This testimony is
`
`relevant because it confirms Dr. Chrissan’s deposition testimony that Yamano is a
`
`single carrier system that is not readily adaptable to a multicarrier ADSL system.
`
`Ex. 1011, at page 103, lines 19-23 (“[Dr. CHRISSAN:] I will say that this is not a
`
`multicarrier transmitter, this is a single carrier -- this is a single carrier transmitter,
`
`and that is described in my declaration in more than one place.”); Ex. 1011, at page
`
`109, lines 1-4 (Q. Could you adapt the teachings of Yamano for use in a
`
`multicarrier system? A. No, you could not adapt the teachings of Yamano for use
`
`in a multicarrier system.”). This testimony that Yamano’s disclosure does not
`
`relate to an ADSL transceiver is relevant because its undermines Dr. Kiaei and
`
`Petitioner’s assertion that a “POSITA would have understood that the teachings of
`

`
`8
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`Yamano could be combined with that of Bowie since Bowie teaches ‘ADSL units’
`
`(Ex. 1005 at 3:23-37) and Yamano references applying its power-saving
`
`techniques to ‘xDSL modems’.” Petition at page 22. The testimony that
`
`Yamano’s modem is single carrier is further relevant because the challenged
`
`claims recite a “multicarrier transceiver.” See e.g., Ex. 1001, 10:6 (claim 1).
`
`Observation # 9: In Ex. 2017, page 65, lines 9-13, Dr. Kiaei testified that a
`
`“POSITA will know how to modify the Bowie's circuits and the timing detecting
`
`signal that Yamano is teaching so that in the low power mode, it can also detect a
`
`synchronized – synchronization signal and detect resume signal.” In contrast, Dr.
`
`Kiaei previously testified that Bowie’s resume signal detector 115 and Yamano’s
`
`non-idle detector are “two different things.” Ex. 2004 at page 107, lines 15-20 (Q.
`
`Okay. Isn’t the function of Yamano’s non-idle detector substantially the same if
`
`not identical to Bowie’s resume signal detector 115? A. Not exactly. They are two
`
`different things.”). This is relevant because it goes to Dr. Kiaei’s credibility and
`
`undermines Dr. Kiaei and the Petitioner’s contention that “modifying . . . Bowie to
`
`also detect Yamano’s timing signal would be well within the level of a POSITA
`
`since Yamano teaches similar circuitry . . . .” Ex. 1012 at ¶ 21.
`
`Observation # 10: Dr. Kiaei testified that the non-idle detector of Yamano does
`
`not receive the periodic poll or other timing signal. Ex. 2017, at page 105, lines
`

`
`9
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`13-16 (“Q. Is it your position then that the non-idle detector also receives the
`
`periodic poll or other timing signal? A. Non-idle detector receives the poll? No”).
`
`This testimony is relevant because Dr. Kiaei contradicts ¶ 20 of his Reply
`
`Declaration, where he stated that “a POSITA would understand that Yamano’s
`
`non-idle detector 401 is active, at least periodically, in order to receive the timing
`
`signal to maintain synchronization . . . .” Ex. 1012 at ¶ 20. This deposition
`
`testimony is also relevant because it shows that Dr. Kiaei has no basis for his
`
`assertion in Ex. 1003 at p. 48 that Yamano teaches “a receive circuit maintains
`
`synchronization with a remote transceiver while processing is reduced in the
`
`receive circuit.”
`
`Observation # 11: Dr. Kiaei testified that the conclusion at ¶ 22 in his Reply
`
`Declaration that “Yamano teaches that its modem transmits and receives data via
`
`‘an analog signal in accordance with a conventional modem protocol, such as
`
`xDSL. Ex.1006, 7:18-20’” is an out of context citation to Yamano and does not
`
`concern the burst-mode protocol. Ex. 2017, at page 84, line 11 to page 85, line 5;
`
`Ex. 2017, at page 86, line 8 to page 87, line 11 (citing Ex. 1006 at 13:41-44). This
`
`undermines Dr. Kiaei and the Petitioner’s conclusion that Yamano’s burst mode
`
`uses the same method of transmitting data as other ADSL modems. See Ex. 1012
`
`at ¶ 24 and Reply at 20.
`

`

`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`Observation # 12: At Ex. 2017, page 110, lines 7-12 Dr. Kiaei states that the non-
`
`idle state signal may or may not be the periodic poll or timing signal, the alleged
`
`synchronization signal. Ex. 2017 at page 110, lines 7-12 (Q. So the non-idle state
`
`signal is the timing signal? A. Not necessarily. Q So the non-idle state signal is not
`
`the timing signal? A Not necessarily.”). However, previously, Dr. Kiaei testified
`
`that Yamano’s non-idle detector 401 “is periodically enabled and -- such that then
`
`he can detect a non-idle signal coming in and then see if there’s any data or not,
`
`and then it’s disabled again” (Ex. 2004, at page 170, lines 4-7) and that the non-
`
`idle state signal that indicates the presence of data is not the periodic poll or other
`
`timing signal recited in Yamano at 15:16-32. Ex. 2004, page 211, lines 9-12. (“Q.
`
`Is the non-idle signal the poll that is described in Yamano, column 15, lines 16 to
`
`32? THE WITNESS: No, it’s not.”). This testimony is relevant because it goes to
`
`Dr. Kiaei’s credibility and further demonstrates that Petitioner cannot demonstrate
`
`in Yamano the claim element, “maintaining synchronization with a second
`
`transceiver.”
`
`Observation # 13: Dr. Kiaei testified that Yamano does not describe the nature
`
`and implementation of the periodic poll or other timing signal that is allegedly the
`
`“synchronization signal” and that he “think[s] the POSITA should know how to do
`
`that.” Ex. 2017, at pages 121, lines 18 – pages 123, line 4 (“Q. You have not cited
`

`
`11
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`to anything in Yamano that describes what the periodic poll or other timing signal
`
`is, correct? A. In this declaration, supplemental declaration, I have not, and I don’t
`
`recall what I have said in my previous declaration or deposition to point out to that,
`
`but I believe the POSITA will clearly understand how the polling mechanism is --
`
`or developing a synchronization between transmitter and receiver and other timing
`
`signals. As I said before, one could be a tone or a clock between the two. . . . .
`
`What I’m saying is that a POSITA will know what the nature and implementation
`
`of that poll or synchronous signal could be depending on the implementation. Q.
`
`Is there any teaching in Yamano? A. I think polling mechanism is a well-known
`
`mechanism in computer science, the polling going on between printers and
`
`processors and so on and so forth and the networking . . . We do discuss that in the
`
`junior/senior classes, computer science, computer architecture. So a POSITA
`
`should know that. And maintaining some sort of a synchronization between them
`
`like a clock or pilot tone, a POSITA should also know that because that could be
`
`potentially similar to a full power mode synchronization, as well as I believe that
`
`Bowie discusses that in terms of time intervals that it’s able to get out of the low
`
`power mode to the -- having a detector to get out of low power mode to full power
`
`mode. So these type of synchronization signals, I think the POSITA should know
`
`how to do that.”) (emphasis added).
`

`
`12
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`
`This testimony is relevant because it demonstrates that Yamano does not
`
`describe any type of synchronization, and Petitioner therefore has failed to make a
`
`prima facie case of obviousness with respect to “maintaining synchronization with
`
`a second transceiver.”
`
`Observation # 14: Dr. Kiaei has been consistently inconsistent about when
`
`Yamano’s periodic poll or other timing signal is received or what receives the
`
`periodic poll or other timing signal. Ex. 2017, at page 105, lines 13-16 (“Q. Is it
`
`your position then that the non-idle detector also receives the periodic poll or other
`
`timing signal? A. Non-idle detector receives the poll? No”); id., at page 99, lines
`
`3-6 (“Q. Is it your opinion that the quote, “a timing signal, is a periodic poll or
`
`some other timing signal? A Not necessarily.”); Ex. 2004, at page 200, line 22 to
`
`page 201, line 9 (Q. BY MR. WIMBISCUS: And the periodic poll that you’re
`
`referring to must be received by the receiver circuit 400 when it is in standby
`
`mode, correct? A. I did not say that in my statement.  Q. Is the periodic poll
`
`received by receiver circuit 400 when it is in standby mode? THE WITNESS:
`
`No.); Ex. 2004 at page 216, lines 21-25 (A. It is the periodic poll or timing signal is
`
`used in low power mode or full power mode to allow the 401 circuit to be enabled
`
`and allow the synchronization between transmitter and receiver.); Ex. 2004, at
`
`page 212, line 23 to page 213, line 2 (“Q. And, in your opinion, the
`

`
`13
`
`

`

`Patent Owner Motion for Observation
`IPR2016-01760
`Patent No. 9,094,268

`synchronization signal can also be operating while the receiver is in full power
`
`mode, correct? A. It could be.”); Ex. 2004, at 214, lines 7-11 (Q. Does Yamano
`
`teach that receiver circuit 400 receives the periodic poll that you find to be a
`
`synchronization signal while the receiver circuit 400 is in normal mode? A. It
`
`could possibly do that.”). This testimony is relevant because it demonstrates that
`
`Dr. Kiaei’s opinions are not credible and further that Yamano does not teach the
`
`claim element, “receiving, in the low power mode, a synchronization signal.”
`
`Observation # 15: In Ex. 2017, on page 124, line 3 to page 131, line 11, Dr. Kiaei
`
`confirms that in the ’268 patent and Yamano (Ex. 1006), the echo canceller is part
`
`of the receiver. Ex. 2017, page 130, line 25 to page 131, line 11 (Q So the echo
`
`canceller in figure 404 is in the block marked receiving section 16, correct? A Uh-
`
`huh. Q So the echo canceller in figure 1 of the ’404 patent is in the block marked
`
`receiving section 16, correct? A Into ’40 -- Q ’4 patent? A ’404 patent, it's showing
`
`the echo canceller within the block 16. Q Yes. And in the Yamano figure 2, the
`
`echo canceller is in the receiver of a conventional modem according to Yamano,
`
`correct? A That's what they show, correct.). This is relevant because it contradicts
`
`Petitioner’s Reply assertion that the echo canceller is part of both the receiver and
`
`transmitter. See Reply at 10 (citing Ex. 1012, ¶ 14). This is further relevant
`
`because Petitioner has relied solely on a disabled echo canceller being part of the
