`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Patent Owner AGIS Software Development LLC (“AGIS” or “Patent
`
`Owner”) submits this sur-reply to Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 22, “Pet. Reply”) to
`
`Patent Owner’s Response (Paper 17, “PO Resp.”) to the Petition (Paper 2,
`
`“Petition” or “Pet.”) filed by Google LLC (“Google” or “Petitioner”) requesting
`
`inter partes review (“IPR”) of claims 1 and 3-9 of U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970 (Ex.
`
`1001, “the ’970 Patent”). Inter partes review has been instituted as to claims 1 and
`
`3-9 (the “Challenged Claims”) and all grounds raised in the Petition (Paper 9).
`
`Patent Owner respectfully submits that the arguments presented herein and the
`
`additional evidence submitted herewith, such as the testimony from Petitioner’s
`
`expert witness, Mr. David Hilliard Williams (Ex. 2008, Transcript of July 25, 2019
`
`Deposition of David Hilliard Williams, “Second Williams Dep.”) demonstrate that
`
`the Challenged Claims are not unpatentable in view of the grounds authorized for
`
`trial.
`
`As noted in Patent Owner’s Response (Paper 17 at 2), the prior art does not
`
`disclose or suggest a forced message alert and the claim limitations relating to the
`
`implementation of the forced message alert. Instead, the prior art is limited to
`
`(1) ordinary e-mail applications that require users to manually open e-mail,
`
`(2) conventional read receipts and priority flags, and (3) data structures for storing
`
`receipts on a server. Ex. 2005, ¶ 22. Petitioner’s expert Mr. Williams confirmed
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`that forced e-mails are not a configurable or known feature of any e-mail message
`
`application. Ex. 2008 at 34:15-24. Petitioner is thus unable to show any teaching
`
`or motivation to support e-mail messages being forced.
`
`Accordingly, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board affirm the
`
`validity of the Challenged Claims.
`
`II. THE BOARD SHOULD REJECT PETITIONER’S PROPOSED
`CONSTRUCTION OF THE TERM “PACKET”
`
`Patent Owner reiterates that the claim terms, including the term “packet,”
`
`should be given their “broadest reasonable construction” consistent with the
`
`specification. Cuozzo Speed Techs., LLC v Lee, 136 S. Ct. 2131, 2142 (2016).
`
`“Under a broadest reasonable interpretation, words of the claim must be given their
`
`plain meaning, unless such meaning is inconsistent with the specification and
`
`prosecution history.” Trivascular, Inc. v. Samuels, 812 F.3d 1056, 1062 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2016).
`
`The Board should reject Petitioner’s proposal that the term “packet” should
`
`be construed as “a unit of information,” because the proposal is not consistent with
`
`the term’s use in the claims and the specification of the ’970 patent or otherwise
`
`supported by sufficient evidence. First, Petitioner and its expert, Mr. Williams,
`
`cite to no supporting disclosure of the ’970 Patent or its file history. See Paper 22
`
`at 1-2 and Ex. 1023 at ¶ 3. Meanwhile, Petitioner ignores the intrinsic evidence in
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`the ’970 Patent’s disclosure which includes multiple recitations of the term
`
`“packet,” including disclosure regarding the contents and uses (i.e., attachable,
`
`separable, and transmittable) of the “packet.” ’970 Patent at 2:7-35, 8:16-36,
`
`claims 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13. Second, Petitioner and Mr. Williams rely
`
`solely on extrinsic evidence: an excerpt (see Paper 22 at 1-2 and Ex. 1023 at ¶ 3,
`
`citing Ex. 1024, 3) which was provided to Mr. Williams by Petitioner’s attorneys.
`
`Mr. Williams admits that he did not consider any other sources in support of the
`
`construction, including the ’970 Patent, other third-party sources, and the
`
`knowledge of a person of ordinary skill in the art. See, e.g., Ex. 2008, Second
`
`Williams Dep. at 8:15-9:7, 9:10- 9:25. Petitioner cannot be the sole source of
`
`evidence in support of a proposed construction of a Challenged Claim. Third, Mr.
`
`Williams confirmed that the proposed construction “unit of information” would
`
`effectively import numerous limitations into the claims that were not contemplated
`
`by the patentee. See, e.g., Ex. 2008, Second Williams Dep. at 19:20-20:1-3, 20:16-
`
`25, 22:15-23:1. For example, Mr. Williams testified that the “unit” is a “piece of
`
`digital information” which is in turn made up of bits or bytes, and that a single bit
`
`can be a “packet” under Petitioner’s construction. Ex. 2008 at 22:5-9 , 22:21-23:3.
`
`Under Mr. Williams’ interpretation, the claimed “packet” can be a mere single
`
`digit, 0 or 1, in isolation and need not be formatted, addressed, or encapsulated in
`
`6
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`any manner. Indeed, Mr. Williams confirmed that under Petitioner’s construction
`
`“potentially anything is possible [] in the digital world.” See, e.g., Ex. 2008,
`
`Second Williams Dep. at 24:7-24. Mr. Williams’ proposal of “packet” being an
`
`unstructured bit or flag is not consistent with the ’970 Ppatent. It is clear that
`
`Petitioner attempts to improperly broaden the meaning of the term to bolster its
`
`mapping of the “packet” to Kubala’s flag 216. In order to do so, Petitioner and Mr.
`
`Williams base their proposal in their subjective belief “as a matter of
`
`straightforwardness and simplicity” (Ex. 2008 at 27:20-28:2) rather than the
`
`interpretation of the ’970 Patent’s specification as it would be understood by a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art. Accordingly, the proposed construction is
`
`improper and unsupportable, and the Board should reject the proposed
`
`construction.
`
`III. PETITIONER HAS NOT PROVEN BY A PREPONDERANCE
`OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE CHALLENGED CLAIMS
`ARE OBVIOUS OVER GROUNDS 1-3
`
`A. The Prior Art does not disclose or suggest the claimed
`“forced message alert”
`
`Kubala and Hammond, as presented in Ground 1 of the Petition, do not
`
`disclose or suggest the claimed forced message alert. See, e.g., Paper 17 at 14-18.
`
`Petitioner’s attempts to reframe AGIS’ contentions are unavailing.
`
`7
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`First, the term forced message alert appears throughout the Challenged
`
`Claims. Petitioner incorrectly states that AGIS has not challenged “claim 1,
`
`limitations 1.1, 1.2 , 1.3, 1.4 , 1.8 , the preamble of claim 6, or limitations 6.1 , 6.3,
`
`6.4, 6.6 , and 6.7” in an attempt to limit the dispute to a certain instance of the
`
`forced message alert limitation. Paper 22 at 2. This wholesale disregarding of
`
`claim limitations is legally unsupportable. Petitioner must show that each and
`
`every element for all claim limitations is found in the prior art. Claims 1 and 6
`
`require numerous limitations with respect to forced message alert. For example,
`
`Claim 1 recites:
`
` a forced message alert software application program including a list
`of required possible responses to be selected by a participant recipient
`of a forced message response loaded on each participating PDA/cell
`phone
`
` means for attaching a forced message alert software packet to a voice
`or text message creating a forced message alert that is transmitted by
`said sender PDA/cell phone to the recipient PDA/cell phone, said
`forced message alert software packet containing a list of possible
`required responses and requiring the forced message alert software on
`said recipient PDA/cell phone to transmit an automatic
`acknowledgment to the sender PDA/cell phone as soon as said forced
`message alert is received by the recipient PDA/cell phone,”
`
` means for receiving and displaying a listing of which recipient
`PDA/cell phones have automatically acknowledged the forced
`message alert and which recipient PDA/cell phones have not
`automatically acknowledged the forced message alert
`
` means for periodically resending said forced message alert to said
`recipient PDA/cell phones that have not automatically acknowledged
`the forced message alert; and
`
`8
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
` means for receiving and displaying a listing of which recipient
`PDA/cell phones have transmitted a manual response to said forced
`message alert and details the response from each recipient PDA/cell
`phone that responded.
`
`Claim 6 similarly requires:
`
` [a] method of sending a forced message alert to one or more recipient
`PDA/cell phones within a predetermined communication network,
`wherein the receipt and response to said forced message alert by each
`intended recipient PDA/cell phone is tracked, said method comprising
`the steps of:
`
` accessing a forced message alert software application program on a
`sender PDA/cell phone;
`
` creating the forced message alert on said sender PDA/cell phone by
`attaching a voice or text message to a forced message alert application
`software packet to said voice or text message;
`
` electronically transmitting the forced message alert to said recipient
`PDA/cell phones;
`
` receiving automatic acknowledgements from the recipient PDA/cell
`phones that received the message and displaying a listing of which
`recipient PDA/cell phones have acknowledged receipt of the forced
`message alert and which recipient PDA/cell phones have not
`acknowledged receipt of the forced message alert;
`
` periodically resending the forced message alert to the recipient
`PDA/cell phones that have not acknowledged receipt;
`
` receiving responses to the forced message alert from the recipient
`PDA/cell phones and displaying the response from each recipient
`PDA/cell phone.
`
`Accordingly, for the Challenged Claims (based on Claims 1 and 6, respectively),
`
`Petitioner must show that the corresponding element in the alleged prior art
`
`discloses or suggests each instance of the claimed forced message alert and apply
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`the prior art element to the claimed element consistently throughout the claim. As
`
`shown in Patent Owner’s Response, and further described below, the Petition fails
`
`to consistently map a single element of Kubala to the forced message alert.
`
`
`
`Second, as submitted in the Patent Owner’s Response, Petitioner does not
`
`identify or explain whether the claimed forced message alert corresponds to
`
`Kubala’s e-mail message 214 or the warning message 1112 shown in Figure 11C
`
`or any other element in Kubala. Paper 17 at 15. Petitioner inconsistently maps the
`
`two Kubala elements to the claimed forced message alert throughout the Petition.
`
`Petitioner’s Reply does not show any consistent mapping in the Petition for forced
`
`message alert. In its Institution Decision, the Board did not find any particular
`
`mapping for forced message alert and, instead, found that Petitioner mapped
`
`Kubala’s e-mail message 214 to the claimed voice or text message (citing Pet. at
`
`29), Kubala’s flag 216 to the forced message alert software packet (citing Pet. at
`
`28-29), and Kubala’s menu 1120 of Fig. 11C to the claimed list of possible
`
`required responses (citing Pet. at 29). It remains unclear whether Petitioner
`
`contends that Kubala’s e-mail message 214 or the warning message 1112 (which
`
`includes a message and menu 1120) of Fig. 11C. Initially, the Petition submits that
`
`Figure 11C alerts the user with warning messages such as warning message 1112.
`
`(Pet. at 19-20.) For limitation 1.7, which requires “means for receiving and
`
`10
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`displaying a listing of which recipient PDA/cell phones have automatically
`
`acknowledged the forced message alert and which recipient PDA/cell phones have
`
`not automatically acknowledged the forced message alert,” Petitioner maps an
`
`“electronic message” in Kubala’s prior art background section without identifying
`
`or explaining whether the “electronic message” pertains to Kubala’s e-mail
`
`message 214 or the warning message 1112 of Fig. 11C. (Pet. at 32.) For limitation
`
`1.8, which requires “means for periodically resending said forced message alert to
`
`said recipient PDA/cell phones that have not automatically acknowledged the
`
`forced message alert,” Petitioner appears to map Kubala’s e-mail message to the
`
`claimed forced message alert. (Pet. at 35-36.) Petitioner’s failure to consistently
`
`map the element in Kubala that corresponds to the claimed forced message alert in
`
`the Petition is fatal to its challenge.
`
`
`
`Third, Petitioner does not show or explain how Kubala’s e-mail message
`
`214 is forced. Kubala requires the recipient to manually select and open the e-mail
`
`message. Ex. 1005, ¶ 0047; Ex. 2007, Williams Dep., at 60:16-21 (“There’s three
`
`steps. The first is, recipient selects control to open email message. . .”). In other
`
`words, as shown in Fig. 7 below, the e-mail message 214 is voluntary or optional–
`
`–not forced. Ex. 2005, ¶¶ 35-37.
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`
`
`Petitioner argues that the ’970 Patent does not require the forced message
`
`alert to be forced to be received and acknowledged. But the Petition itself
`
`concedes that forced message alerts “force an automatic acknowledgment of
`
`receipt and a manual response.” Pet. at 6 (citing ’970 Patent at 3:22-28).
`
`Petitioner similarly argues that the ’970 Patent does not require the forced message
`
`alert to be opened or displayed by the forced message alert software. (Paper 22 at
`
`4-6.) Petitioner’s interpretation is nonsensical because it reads out the forced
`
`requirement and reduces the invention to a conventional e-mail message that can
`
`sit unopened and disregarded in an inbox. Petitioner’s allegation that nothing in
`
`the specification “mentions how the alert is displayed” is wrong. (Paper 22 at 5.)
`
`After receipt of the forced message alert, the forced message alert software
`
`12
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`performs, in relevant part, at least the following: 1) “prepare and electronically
`
`transmits an automatic acknowledgment of receipt,” 2) “takes control of the
`
`recipient PC or PDA/cell phone,” and 3) “causes the text message and the response
`
`list to be shown on the display of the recipient PC or PDA/cell phone.” (See ’970
`
`Patent at 8:16-44.) The required forced display is also shown in Fig. 4, reproduced
`
`below, which is cited in the Petition (Pet. at 3) in the context of the forced message
`
`alert, and states that, in response to receipt of the forced message alert, the forced
`
`message alert software takes control of the recipient’s cell phone . . . and causes
`
`the text message to be displayed and a list of responses to be shown on the
`
`display . . . .”
`
`13
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`
`
`Accordingly, the ’970 makes clear that the forced message alert software forces the
`
`message and list of responses to the display––rather than a user manually opening
`
`an e-mail in a conventional manner. Petitioner does not cite to or rely on any
`
`additional expert testimony in support of its unsupported interpretation, and Mr.
`
`Williams testified that he did not conduct an analysis as to whether the forced
`
`message alert required display of the message and acknowledgement of the alert to
`
`be forced by the software. Ex. 2008 at 32:14-33:14.
`
`14
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`Finally, with respect to Grounds 1-3 (each of which appears to rely on an e-
`
`mail message being forced), Mr. Williams testified that he has never known an e-
`
`mail application configured to automatically open e-mails on the display. Ex. 2008
`
`at 34:15-24.
`
`
`
`According to Petitioner’s own expert, forced e-mails are not a configurable or
`
`known feature of any e-mail message application, and Petitioner is thus unable to
`
`establish any teaching or motivation to support e-mail messages being forced.
`
`Accordingly, the Challenged Claims are valid.
`
`IV. PETITIONER HAS NOT PROVEN BY A PREPONDERANCE
`OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE CHALLENGED CLAIMS
`ARE OBVIOUS OVER GROUNDS 2-3
`
`Regarding Grounds 2-3, the Petitioner’s Reply attempts to shoehorn in new
`
`mappings that are not present in the Petition.
`
`15
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`The Petition fails to identify any element in Hammond or Johnson that
`
`corresponds to the claimed forced message alert software packet. (Pet. at 60.)
`
`However, for the first time in this proceeding, Petitioner adopts new theories,
`
`buried in the claim construction section, that Hammond’s “message delivery
`
`information” and Johnson’s “persistent reply attribute” correspond to the claimed
`
`“forced message alert software packet.” (Paper 22 at 1-2.) Because “[i]t is of the
`
`utmost importance that petitioners in the IPR proceedings adhere to the
`
`requirement that the initial petition identify ‘with particularity’ the ‘evidence that
`
`supports the grounds for the challenge to each claim.’” (citing 35 U.S.C. §
`
`312(a)(3)) and that a “reply may only respond to arguments raised in the
`
`corresponding opposition or patent owner response,” these late identifications,
`
`which could have been presented in the Petition and which are not responsive to
`
`the Patent Owner’s Response, should be rejected by the Board as untimely and
`
`improper. Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc. v. Illumina Cambridge Ltd., 821 F.3d 1359,
`
`1369 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (“Once the Board identifies new issues raised for the first
`
`time in reply, neither this court nor the Board must parse the reply brief to
`
`determine which, if any, parts of that brief are responsive and which are improper.
`
`As the Board noted, ‘it will not attempt to sort proper from improper portions of
`
`16
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01079
`U.S. Patent No. 8,213,970
`
`the reply.’”) The Board should refuse the reply brief and the Supplemental
`
`Williams Declaration, Ex. 2008 as untimely and improper. Id.
`
`Petitioner’s expert, Mr. Williams, confirmed that he did not proffer any
`
`opinions with these new mappings regarding Hammond’s “message delivery
`
`information” and Johnson’s “persistent reply attribute” in his declaration. Ex.
`
`2008 at 17:22-19:4; 14:8-10, 14:15-18. Mr. Williams further confirmed that the
`
`Petition does not include any identification of Hammond’s “message delivery
`
`information” and Johnson’s “persistent reply attribute” for this limitation. Id.
`
`Thus, in addition to the reasons provided in the Board’s Institution Decision
`
`(Paper 9) and Patent Owner’s Response (Paper 17 at 28-39), the Board should
`
`reject Grounds 2-3 because the Petition failed to identify and explain how each
`
`claim element is met by the prior art.
`
`V. CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`affirm the validity of Claims 1 and 3-9 of the ’970 Patent.
`
`
`
`Dated: July 26, 2019
