`1._comprising:
`a plurality of movable dies arranged to form an iris having
`a longitudinal axis, the iris defining an aperture, the
`dies disposed about the aperture and between stationary
`end-walls which are disposed about the longitudinal
`axis, at least one of the stationary end-walLs
`
`such that the number 0

`
`and the number of dies are the same;
`
`each die having a first straight side and a second straight
`side, the first straight side and the second straight side
`convering to form a tip; wherein a portion of the first
`straight side of each die faces the aperture, each first
`straight side parallel to the second side of an adjacent
`die.

`
`18. A stent crimper comprising:
`eight or more movable dies arranged to form an iris, the
`iris defining an aperture of a substantially regular
`polygonal shape,
`the aperture having a longitudinal
`axis, each die having an inward facing tlat portion
`which faces the longitudinal axis of the aperture both
`when the dies move to maximize the aperture and when
`the dies move to minimize the aperture,
`the dies
`between stationary end walls and operatively engaged
`to at least one of the stationary end-walls, the stationary
`end-walls disposed about the longitudinal axis,
`the iris comprising at least eight of the inward facing flat
`portions, the aperture being reducible in size by moving
`the inward facing flat portions toward the longitudinal
`axis of the aperture,
`a rotatable actuation device coupled to the dies, rotation
`of the actuation device causing the inward facing

`

`Preamble “A Stent Crimper” Is Limiting Under
`The Proper Analysis
`• “The effect of preamble language should be given can be resolved
`only on review of the entirety of the patent to gain an
`understanding of what the inventors actually invented and
`intended to compass by the claim.” Corning Glass, 868 F.2d 1251,
`1257 (Fed. Cir. 1989).
`• The inventor was working on the particular problem of uneven
`stent crimping. Ex. 1101 at 1:48-56.
`• Title is directed to a stent crimping device, not any general
`crimper. Id. at Title (“Apparatus for contracting, loading or
`crimping self-expanding and balloon expandable stent
`devices”).
`• Defines the invention as a stent crimping device. Id. at 2:26-29
`(“The present invention is directed to that end [a device
`capable of crimping a stent].”).
`• Defines “crimping” for stent application only. Id. at 2:36-38 (“It
`is also understood that the term ‘crimping’ refers to a reduction
`in size or profile of a stent.”).

`

`Petitioner Invites Different Constructions For
`The Same Term In The Same Patent
`
`• “[A] claim term should be
`construed consistently
`with its appearance in
`other places in the same
`claim or in other claims of
`the same patent.”
`Rexnord Corp. v. Laitram
`Corp., 274 F.3d 1336,
`1342 (Fed. Cir. 2001).

`• Yasumi merely says the setting piece 32
`and moveable handle 37 are “coupled
`together.” Ex. 1103 at 8:42-45. There is
`no disclosure on how the two are
`coupled. Ex. 1103 at 8:1-41; Ex. 2016 at
`¶ 40.
`
`• Mr. Sheehan confirms the lack of
`disclosure. Ex. 2052 at 30:23-32:16.

`
`Mr. Sheehan testified:
`• The setting piece would “flex.” Ex. 2052 at 33:13-16.
`•
`(1) The movable pieces move and the aperture gets
`“smaller” before the setting piece hits adjust cam (Id.
`at 40:11-41:18); (2) The movable pieces “don’t
`necessarily move” and the aperture does not change
`(Id. at 43:1-44:2); (3) The moveable pieces move
`together with everything else, but the aperture does
`not change (Id. at 44:6-15).
`“Everything rotates;” “the pins run through
`everything;” and “they are all held together.” Id. 40:5-
`7; 38:15-18.
