`Uniloc misinterprets Apple’s proposed construction of
`“displays at least one of the plurality of instant voice messages”
`
`Uniloc misinterprets Petitioner’s construction as an attempt to limit the
`claim language, and provides no construction of its own or suggestion
`of how to construe this element.
`
`“displays at least one of the plurality of instant
`voice messages”
`“displaying the content or identifying
`information of at least one of the plurality of
`instance voice messages.”

`

`The combination of Abburi and Holtzberg teaches the
`“message database” of claim 1
`
`Uniloc’s attempt to rebut the Abburi-Holtzberg combination
`and its teachings fails for at least four reasons:
` Abburi’s employment of an audio message store at a server is not
`mutually exclusive of storage at the client device;
` The Abburi-Holtzberg combination does not teach away from
`storage at the client device, employing a similar architecture as
`described in the ’433 Patent;
` Abburi does not restrict or even encourage storage in volatile
`memory at the client device, as Uniloc contends; and
` Holtzberg’s embodiment of a database residing in a centralized
`location does not restrict its storage scheme from being employed
`at a client device.
