`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend (Paper 42)
`
`(“Opposition”) alleges the proposed claims are invalid in view of the references
`
`already of record yet seeks to apply a new reference in an effort to invalidate the
`
`proposed claims 26 and 27. The references cited in the Petition do not render the
`
`proposed claims invalid. Newly added reference Goldberg (Ex. 1014) is not prior
`
`art. Even were Goldberg’s teaching combined with the references cited in the
`
`Petition, proposed claims 26 and 27 still would be valid. The Opposition also alleges
`
`proposed claims 24 and 25 are not supported in the original application. In fact, each
`
`limitation of the proposed claims provided in Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend
`
`(“Motion”) is fully supported in the specification as originally filed.
`
`II.
`
`PROPOSED CLAIMS
`
`Patent Owner filed a Motion to Amend the Claims to provide proposed
`
`claims 24 and 25 solely in response to the Board’s initial, sua sponte conclusion
`
`that challenged claims 1 and 3 incorporate conditional or optional claim
`
`limitations. Proposed claims 26 and 27 recite narrowing limitations that are fully
`
`supported in the original specification.
`

`

`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`
`III. THE PROPOSED CLAIMS ARE FULLY SUPPORTED BY THE
`ORIGINALLY-FILED SPECFICATION
`A. Disclosure Support of Limitations of Proposed Claims
`
`Petitioner alleges Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend is defective because it
`
`cites to the specification of the issued patent rather than the specification of the
`
`original application. To support this proposition, Petitioner cites to informative
`
`Paper 13 in Western Digital Corp. v. SPEX Technologies, Inc., Case IPR2018-00082.
`
`Paper 42 at 2.
`
`The Appendix to this Reply compares cites from the ‘423 Patent in the Motion
`
`to Amend with cites to corresponding patent application 09/935,565 (‘565 App).
`
`B. Proposed Claims 24 and 25 Are Supported by the Original Disclosure
`
`Proposed claims 24 and 25 are directed to truncating entries in search results,
`
`with the final, truncated list or display of entries including a portion of each truncated
`
`entry. The claims recite truncation limitations based on determining a number of
`
`characters in each entry and then truncating the entry.
`
`The Opposition alleges that the cited portions of the ‘423 Patent “do not
`
`provide the requisite written description support for the amended limitation” of
`
`“displaying a truncated portion of each entry in the selected database field.” Id. at 2-
`
`3. The Opposition then lists a section of the cited disclosure that shows truncation of
`
`six city names to three entries. Id. at 3. The Opposition concludes that truncating the
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`six city names should produce six truncated entries, and that, accordingly, the
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`“disclosure,” by showing only three entries, namely “Arm, New, Riv,” fails to
`
`support the claim limitations. Id. at 3-4. But the Opposition acknowledges that the
`
`disclosure shows “truncation of entries to collapse the number of entries into a
`
`smaller or lower number, such that the smaller or lower number of entries can be
`
`displayed on a terminal screen” and that “the purpose of ‘truncation’ in the ‘423
`
`Patent is to reduce a number of lines in a result list so as to collapse the list vertically
`
`by reducing the number of characters in returned entries to common characters.” Id.
`
`at 4-5.
`
`Patent Owner agrees with Petitioner on this point. The claimed truncation
`
`reduces characters and will result in collapsing the result list vertically so that the
`
`result list may be displayed on the terminal. Thus, the cities Armandia and Armonk,
`
`in the disclosed example, become “Arm,” thereby reducing the number of lines by
`
`one. However, “a truncated portion [in the example, “Arm”] of each entry in the
`
`selected database field is displayed,” as recited in proposed claims 24 and 25.
`
`Nowhere do claims 24 and 25 recite that each entry, once truncated, must be
`
`displayed, as the Petitioner apparently assumes. The claim limitation of “a truncated
`
`portion of each entry in the selected database field is displayed” is clearly supported
`
`in the disclosure cited in the Opposition.
`
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`
`Furthermore, a PHOSITA, viewing the disclosure and each of proposed claims
`
`24 and 25, would understand that truncation of Armandia and Armonk to three
`
`characters and displaying “Arm” on the terminal meets the limitation of “a truncated
`
`portion of each entry in the selected database field is displayed.” See Declaration of
`
`Dr. Wesley W. Chu (Ex. 2027), ¶¶ 9-10.
`
`C. Proposed Claims 26 and 27 Are supported by the Original Disclosure
`
`Proposed claims 26 and 27 are amended from corresponding claim 6 to recite
`
`the limitation “all entries from the selected data filed are displayed on a single page
`
`of a terminal.” Claims 26 and 27 also recite “the specified limit is determined
`
`dynamically, based on a characteristic of the terminal”; however, this limitation was
`
`in original claim 6.
`
`1. On a Single Page of a Terminal
`
`
`The Opposition refers to Petitioner’s arguments related to the alleged lack of
`
`disclosure support for proposed claims 24 and 25. Just as that argument fails with
`
`respect to claim 24 and 25, it fails with respect to claims 26 and 27.
`
`
`
`More specifically, the operation of claim 25 generates a result list having
`
`truncated entries. The example cited in the Opposition is a result list having three
`
`entries “Arm, New, Riv.” Claims 26 and 27 merely recite that the entries are
`
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`displayed on a single page of a terminal. This limitation is supported in the original
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`disclosure at least at page 11, lines 20-24.
`
`
`
`2. Determined Dynamically
`
`The Opposition asserts that “[t]he identified portion of the ‘423 Patent, column
`
`8 line 40 to 52, does not provide written description support for determining a limit
`
`dynamically’.” Paper 42 at 7-8.
`
`The cited disclosure states “if the size of the resulting result list is larger than
`
`some numeric parameter related to the display size of the terminal 14, then the
`
`constraints may be modified by the truncator 152 so that the result list can be
`
`accommodated (e.g., displayed on one page) by the terminal 14.” Ex. 1001, 8:44-
`
`48.
`
`A PHOSITA would understand that “dynamically determined,” as recited in
`
`proposed claims 26 and 27, in the context of computer operations, refers to “an
`
`event or process that occurs during computer program execution.” The PHOSITA
`
`would understand the above quoted excerpt from the ‘423 Patent refers to a process
`
`(truncation) that occurs during execution of truncator 152, which, a PHOSITA
`
`would know, is a computer program. See Ex. 2027, ¶ 12. See also, Ex. 2028, p. 2
`
`(defining “dynamically”).

`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`IV. THE PROPOSED CLAIMS ARE NOVEL AND NON-OBVIOUS IN
`VIEW OF THE REFERENCES CITED IN THE PETITION
`
`The Opposition asserts that proposed claims 24 – 27 are obvious over
`
`Maloney in view of Bertram and also are obvious over Excel in view of Bertram.
`
`The Opposition repeats the same bases for alleging obviousness of claims 24 – 27
`
`as was alleged for claims 1, 3, and 6 in the Petition.
`
`
`
`For example, the Opposition, referring to the Petition, states “Bertram (in
`
`combination with Maloney) was cited as teaching ‘determining a number of
`
`characters included in each entry in the selected data field’.” Paper 42 at 9-10.
`
`(emphasis added). The Opposition makes similar allegations regarding application
`
`of Bertram and Maloney to proposed claim 25.
`
`
`
`However, as Patent Owner noted in its Response, Petitioner’s own expert
`
`admitted that Bertram does not disclose “determining a number of characters.”
`
`Paper 26 at 19 - 21, citing Ex. 2015 (“Q. Well, Dr. Greenspun, I'm asking you …
`
`Is there any disclosure in Bertram that states ‘determining a number of characters’?
`
`A. I don’t think that Bertram uses the phrase, ‘determining a number of characters,’
`
`no.”)
`
`
`
`In a section header, the Opposition purports to show how the combination of
`
`Excel and Bertram would render proposed claim 25 obvious. Paper 42 at 9.
`
`However, the Opposition provides no explanation for the alleged obviousness of
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`proposed claim 25 other than to state “proposed claims 24 and 25 are therefore
`
`obvious over the same art as presented in the Petition.” Id.
`
`V. GOLDBERG IS NOT PRIOR ART
`
`The Opposition, in footnote 2, anticipating a challenge to Goldberg’s prior
`
`art status, states that “none of that evidence” (presumably the evidence provided in
`
`Patent Owner’s Response at pages 35 – 45 (citing Exs. 2013, 2021, and 2022)
`
`relates to the newly recited limitations of proposed claims 26 and 27.
`
`
`
`To the contrary, Missy De Bellis testified that she personally viewed the
`
`working prototype of the Search-on-the-Fly Search Engine on December 9, 1999.
`
`Ms. De Bellis further testified that she saw, during that demonstration, what
`
`became Figure 10 of the ‘423 Patent (the same Figure 10 was originally filed with
`
`the ‘720 Patent). Ex. 2022, ¶22 (referring to Ex. 2025). The same Declaration
`
`states that the example from which Figure 10 was constructed was based on a
`
`telephone database constructed by Mr. Freire. Dr. De Bellis’ software engineer.
`
`Figure 10 clearly shows displaying result lists whose entries are displayed on a
`
`single page. For example, result list 209 shows five state names truncated to two
`
`digits. Result list 209 further shows New York (“NY”) was chosen for further
`
`searching; the further searching produced a list 211 of three cities in New York.
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`The entire display of Figure 10, including lists 209 and 211 can be seen to occupy
`
`a single page.
`
`
`
`In further support of the conception of this “single page of a terminal”
`
`feature, see Ex. 2029, ¶¶ 5 – 7 (stating Dr. De Bellis conceived of displaying
`
`results on a single page by May 1999, and then worked to reduce this inventive
`
`concept to practice by at least December 9, 1999).
`
`VI. THE ADDITION OF GOLDBERG, EVEN WERE IT PRIOR ART,
`DOES NOT AFFECT VALIDITY OF THE PROPOSED CLAIMS
`
`The Opposition cites Goldberg as allegedly teaching adjusting the size of
`
`information being displayed in order to make the information easily readable,
`
`where the “adjustment is based on the size of a display area available.” Paper 42 at
`
`15. The Opposition notes that Goldberg discloses fitting other applications such as
`
`spreadsheet applications to small screens. Id. However, because Goldberg does
`
`not describe such a process as displaying a spreadsheet on a small screen, the
`
`Opposition provides no citation to Goldberg that would lead a PHOSITA to
`
`understand how such a process could occur.
`
`
`
`As a PHOSITA would understand, Goldberg clearly describes competing
`
`interests, namely making an entry fit on to a small-size display while at the same
`
`time, making the entry easily readable so as not to distract a vehicle operator
`
`(driver). If the information to be displayed were of too small a size to be easily
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`readable, a driver could be distracted from safe operation of the car. Ex. 1014,
`
`1:30 - 35.
`
`
`
`Goldberg does not disclose how a spreadsheet can be displayed on one page
`
`of a small screen and still be “easily readable,” and Petitioner can point to no
`
`disclosure in Goldberg that would lead a PHOSITA to conclude that such a
`
`spreadsheet, were it to be displayed at all, would not be displayed on multiple
`
`pages. Ex. 2027, ¶¶ 15 - 22. Rather, a PHOSITA would understand that Goldberg
`
`is directed to adjusting the size of information contained in a single entry, such as a
`
`street address where the driver “is supposed to be going to.” Ex. 1014, 1:63; Figs.
`
`5a – 5g. Even were Goldberg to be read to apply to a “plurality of entries” (which
`
`no PHOSITA would understand from studying Goldberg), a PHOSITA would
`
`understand that because Goldberg’s system is directed to making data “readable”
`
`to a vehicle operator (driver), Goldberg simply would display each of the entries
`
`(adjusted in size or not adjusted) on a separate screen or page so that the driver
`
`could readily read (and grasp) the data using only brief glances at the computer
`
`screen to avoid distraction from safe operation of the vehicle. See Ex. 1014, 1:30 -
`
`35.
`
`
`
`In summary, a PHOSITA would not understand that Goldberg provides a
`
`teaching or suggestion to display “each of a plurality of entries on a single page of
`
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`the terminal” and certainly provides no teaching or suggestion for displaying a
`
`spreadsheet.
`
`VII. THERE CAN BE NO MOTIVATION TO COMBINE GOLDBERG
`WITH THE REFERENCES OF RECORD
`
`In addition to not teaching or even suggesting the claim limitations of
`
`proposed claims 26 and 27, a PHOSITA would not be motivated to combine
`
`Goldberg with Maloney, Bertram, and Kanevsky or to combine Goldberg with
`
`Excel, Bertram, and Kanevsky. This lack of motivation is based on Goldberg’s
`
`express teaching away from the limitations of proposed claims 26 and 27.
`
`
`
`Specifically, Goldberg explicitly states that “adding lines” to a text entry is
`
`an important option to make an entry readable for a vehicle operator so as to avoid
`
`distracting the driver, who can only briefly view the display. Ex. 1014, 1:46-52.
`
`As Petitioner acknowledges, the challenged claims in this IPR, and by extension,
`
`the proposed claims, are directed to compressing the vertical space required for
`
`display of multiple entries. Paper 42 at 4-5. Adding lines as taught by Goldberg is
`
`the polar opposite of reducing the number of lines to be displayed, which, as noted
`
`above, Petitioner explicitly acknowledges happens with the inventions of proposed
`
`claims 24 and 25. Accordingly, a PHOSITA would not be motivated to
`
`incorporate Goldberg’s teachings of adding lines to improve readability because to
`
`do so would have an effect that is unwanted and diametrically opposite to the
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`
`
`Case IPR2018-00044
`Patent No. 7,302,423
`Reply to Pet.’s Opp. to Mot. to Amend
`
`intended reduction of vertical lines the claims encompass in order to make the
`
`entries fit the available display space. Ex. 2027, ¶ 13.
`
`
`
`Petitioner argues that it is citing Goldberg for its alleged teaching of fitting
`
`an entry to a small display, one option for which is to truncate a “caption,” which
`
`as Goldberg discloses, does not affect the informative value of the entry to be
`
`“adjusted.” However, this argument is another example of Petitioner citing only so
`
`much of a reference as Petitioner finds helpful while ignoring portions of the
`
`reference that are harmful and that therefore, “teach away,” and must be rejected.
`
`See, e.g., W.L. Gore & Assocs. Inc. v. Garlock, Inc. , 721 F.2d 1540, 1550 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 1983) (holding the district court erred by “considering the references in less
`
`than their entireties, i.e., in disregarding disclosures in the references that diverge
`
`from and teach away from the invention at hand”). See also, In re Gurley, 27 F.3d
`
`551, 553 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (stating that in general, “a reference will teach away if it
`
`suggests that the line of development flowing from the reference's disclosure is
`
`unlikely to be productive of the result sought by the applicant.”) Here, “the line of
`
`development,” that is, adding lines to a text entry to increase its readability, will
`
`produce exactly the opposite effect sought by the Patent Owner.
