`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-00319
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,923,941
`
`Reliance on New Evidence to Show the Disclosure of an Application-Specific
`
`Interface: Pages 5:19-6:1, 6:14-17, 7:2-9, 7:13-8:5 (citing, without support from
`
`the Petition, Ex. 1056 (Craw) ¶¶ 4, 48, 149, 202-203, 208, and Figure 9A, and
`
`IPR2017-00321, Paper 44 at 51, as evidence of an application-specific interface).
`
`New Argument that Craw Discloses an Application-Specific Interface:
`
`Page 6:7-8 (arguing, without support from the Petition, that Craw’s “interfaces” are
`
`an application-specific interface); Pages 6:8-11, 7:10-12 (arguing, without support
`
`from the Petition, that an application-specific interface is the equivalent of an API);
`
`Page 6:14, 6:17-20 (arguing, without support from the Petition, that “Craw’s
`
`‘interfaces’ are also used by specific applications” and “‘enabl[e] a particular
`
`application to utilize data obtained from hardware’”); Page 7:1-2, 7:9-10 (arguing,
`
`without support from the Petition, that Craw’s “interfaces” can be tailored to a
`
`“particular application”).
`
`New Argument that Claims 4-5 Are Invalid Under the Correct Dependency:
`
`Pages 4:7-8, 8:7-9:17 (arguing, without support from the Petition, that claims 4-5
`
`depend from claim 3).
`
`New Argument that Lee Discloses an Application-Specific Interface:
`
`Page 10:12-14 (arguing, without support from the Petition, that “Lee discloses
`
`‘application-specific interface (API)’ because Lee’s ‘mobile phone application
`
`program’ is a ‘particular application’ using the data.”).
