`
`INTRODUCTION
`Petitioner’s Reply introduces unpersuasive arguments that cannot salvage the
`
`shortcomings of its Petition. To support its flawed claim construction for the claim
`
`13 limitation of an envelope amplifier that “operates based on the first supply voltage
`
`or the boosted supply voltage,” Petitioner mischaracterizes the opinion of District
`
`Court Judge Sabraw, twists the testimony of its own expert, Dr. Apsel, and ignores
`
`fundamental Federal Circuit case law. The broadest reasonable interpretation of this
`
`claim limitation, when properly read in the context of the respective claim as a
`
`whole, requires a selective boost. Because Ground III is based only on Petitioner’s
`
`incorrect construction, the Board should dismiss Ground III.
`
`The Board should also dismiss Grounds III and IV because Petitioner fails to
`
`establish a sufficient motivation to combine Chu and Choi 2010 (Ground III) and
`
`Chu, Choi 2010, and Myers (Ground IV). First, as detailed in the Patent Owner’s
`
`Response (“POR”) (Paper 16 at 25-32), the Petition failed to explain how a person
`
`of ordinary skill in the art (“POSA”) would combine Chu and Choi 2010 without
`
`destroying the benefits of one or the other. Petitioner’s Reply, for the first time,
`
`relies on examples and testimony relating to switching between power sources as
`
`support for how a POSA would allegedly combine Chu and Choi 2010. But no such
`
`argument was included in the Petition, and the Board should therefore disregard
`
`Petitioner’s attempt to belatedly back-fill its Petition with a new motivation to
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`combine argument. See Ariosa Diagnostics v. Verinata Health, 805 F.3d 1359, 1367
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2015) (“challenger obliged to make an adequate case in its Petition and
`
`the Reply limited to a true rebuttal role”).
`
`Second, Petitioner is unable to articulate any legitimate reason why a POSA
`
`would modify the constant boosted supply voltage of Choi 2010 based on Myers.
`
`Instead, Petitioner improperly relies on teachings from the ’558 Patent itself as a
`
`roadmap for arriving at the claimed invention, and in doing so ignores Choi 2010’s
`
`disclosure that it must always operate using a constant boosted voltage. This is a
`
`classic instance of impermissible hindsight reconstruction and cannot give rise to a
`
`motivation to combine.
`
`For at least these reasons, the Board should confirm the patentability of claim
`
`13 of the ’558 Patent.
`
`II. GROUND III SHOULD BE DISMISSED BECAUSE CLAIM 13
`REQUIRES A SELECTIVE BOOST
`As Patent Owner explained in its Patent Owner Response, the claim 13
`
`
`
`limitation of an envelope amplifier that “operates based on the first supply voltage
`
`or the boosted supply voltage” is properly interpreted to require a selective boost. In
`
`its Reply, Petitioner ignores Patent Owner’s arguments and instead focuses on claim
`
`6, a different claim with different limitations. As explained below, the District
`
`Court’s Order with respect to claims 6-7 has no bearing on claim 13, and Petitioner’s
`
`proposed constructions for claim 6 and claim 13 suffer from the same legal error –
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`they improperly render other claim limitations meaningless. Accordingly, the Board
`
`should find that the broadest reasonable interpretation of the claim 13 limitation
`
`quoted above requires a selective boost.
`
`A.
`Petitioner’s Reliance On Judge Sabraw’s Order Is Misguided
`Petitioner relies on Judge Sabraw’s Markman Order to support its proposed
`
`construction that claim 13 does not require a selective boost. Petitioner’s reliance
`
`on Judge Sabraw’s Order is misguided. The Court was presented with proposed
`
`constructions for the term “based on,” as it appears in claim 7, which depends from
`
`claim 6. Claims 6 and 7 contain numerous claim limitations relevant to Judge
`
`Sabraw’s Order that are different than in claim 13. Moreover, footnote 2 of the
`
`Order makes clear that the Court’s Order applied only to the context of claim 7, and
`
`therefore does not apply to any other claims.
`
`Furthermore, Petitioner mischaracterizes Judge Sabraw’s Order as reaching a
`
`conclusion that it plainly does not reach. Contrary to Petitioner’s assertion, Judge
`
`Sabraw did not “hold[] the limitation ‘a source receiving the boosted supply voltage
`
`or the first supply voltage’ in claim 6 does not require ‘selective boost.’” Paper 20
`
`at 4. Judge Sabraw’s Order says nothing of the sort. Instead, Judge Sabraw
`
`incorrectly concluded that claim 7 was indefinite based on a misunderstanding that
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`claim 7 expanded the scope of claim 6, rather than limiting it.1 Tellingly, Petitioner
`
`does not cite to any particular passage in support of its characterization of Judge
`
`Sabraw’s Order, and instead cites only generally to the entire discussion. But the
`
`general discussion includes no such analysis or conclusion regarding selective boost,
`
`and more importantly, does not address the same claim term as disputed in the
`
`present challenge.
`
`Additionally, Petitioner is wrong in asserting that claim 7 adds nothing over
`
`claim 6 if claim 6 is construed to require a selective boost. Claim 7 recites “the
`
`supply generator is operative to generate the second supply voltage based on the
`
`envelope signal and either the boosted supply voltage or the first supply voltage.”
`
`This limitation further narrows the scope of claim 6 by adding an additional mode
`
`of operation: the supply generator can generate the second supply voltage based on
`
`the envelope signal and the boosted supply voltage, or can generate the second
`
`supply voltage based on the envelope signal and the first supply voltage. Contrary
`
`to Petitioner’s assertions, this represents an additional and more limiting feature,
`
`similar to a cell phone that may have operated on a 3G network, and was then
`
`improved to be able to operate on 3G and 4G networks. In this example, the phone
`
`
`1 Petitioner apparently agrees that claim 7 is more limiting than claim 6. Paper 20
`at 6 (“It is therefore that additional language appearing in claim 7 (which does not
`appear in either claim 6 or 13) that adds a requirement for the amplifier to be able
`to select between ‘either’ the boosted voltage ‘or’ the first supply voltage.”)
`(emphasis added).
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`must be capable of operating on both networks (an additional feature), but only needs
`
`to operate on one at a given time. When a dependent claim adds an additional feature
`
`or functionality not present in the independent claim, then the dependent claim
`
`narrows the scope of the independent claim. See Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d
`
`1303, 1324-25 (Fed. Cir. 2005).
`
`B.
`
`The Broadest Reasonable Interpretation Cannot Be So Broad As
`To Include Contradicting Embodiments
`Patent Owner’s construction requiring a selective boost is consistent with the
`
`
`
`black-letter law that “[i]t is highly disfavored to construe terms in a way that renders
`
`them void, meaningless, or superfluous.” Wasica Finance GmbH v. Continental
`
`Automotive Sys., Inc., 853 F.3d 1272, 1288 n.10 (Fed. Cir. 2017). As Patent Owner
`
`explained in its POR, Petitioner’s proposed construction renders certain claim terms
`
`void, meaningless, or superfluous, and therefore cannot be the correct construction.
`
`Patent Owner’s proposed construction is the broadest reasonable interpretation
`
`supported by the specification that gives life to each claim term.
`
`
`
`Petitioner criticizes Patent Owner’s construction as improperly limiting the
`
`claim to a specific embodiment. In particular, Petitioner argues that the claim must
`
`be construed to include an embodiment where “the entire envelope tracker is
`
`operated based on the VBoost voltage from boost converter 180” alone. Paper 20 at
`
`6. But an embodiment where the entire envelope tracker is operated based only on
`
`the boosted voltage is a different and incompatible embodiment to one where the
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`envelope tracker may operate selectively based on a first voltage or a boosted
`
`voltage. It is impossible for an envelope tracker to both always operate based on a
`
`boosted voltage, while also only sometimes operating based on a boosted voltage.
`
`
`
`Petitioner cites no authority requiring that claims be construed to cover all
`
`embodiments, nor could it. The Federal Circuit makes clear that “[i]t is not
`
`necessary that each claim read on every embodiment.” Baran v. Med. Device Techs.,
`
`Inc., 616 F.3d 1309, 1316 (Fed. Cir. 2010). See also PPC Broadband, Inc. v.
`
`Corning Optical Commc'ns RF, LLC, 815 F.3d 747, 755 (Fed. Cir. 2016)
`
`(recognizing no requirement that “each and every claim ought to be interpreted to
`
`cover each and every embodiment”). Moreover, “the fact that one construction may
`
`cover more embodiments than another does not categorically render that
`
`construction reasonable.” PPC Broadband, 815 F.3d at 755.
`
`
`
`If Patent Owner intended for claim 13 to cover an embodiment where “the
`
`entire envelope tracker is operated based on the VBoost voltage from boost converter
`
`180” alone, then Patent Owner would have used language to that effect. Instead,
`
`claim 13 recites an envelope amplifier that “operates based on the first supply
`
`voltage or the boosted supply voltage,” which unequivocally relates to the disclosed
`
`selective boost embodiment. See Paper 16 at 20-25. Petitioner’s arguments are
`
`contrary to established Federal Circuit precedent and the intrinsic record.
`
`

`
`

`

`C. Dr. Apsel’s Testimony Supports Patent Owner’s Construction
`Petitioner’s attempt to diminish Dr. Apsel’s testimony fails to substantively
`
`address Patent Owner’s argument that a selective boost is the only reasonable
`
`interpretation that gives meaning to all claim terms. See Digital-Vending Servs. Int'l,
`
`LLC v. Univ. of Phoenix, Inc., 672 F.3d 1270, 1275 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (“claims are
`
`interpreted with an eye toward giving effect to all terms in the claim.”); Wasica
`
`Finance, 853 F.3d at 1288 n.10 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (“[i]t is highly disfavored to
`
`construe terms in a way that renders them void, meaningless, or superfluous.”); In
`
`re Danly, 46 C.C.P.A. 792, 263 F.2d 844, 847 (1959) (limiting claims to require that
`
`the claimed device actually be connected to an alternating current source because,
`
`although the claims “do not positively recite a source of alternating current as an
`
`element of the claims,” any other interpretation would render certain language in the
`
`claims meaningless).
`
`Petitioner’s proposed construction seeks to construe a single claim term
`
`without reference to the rest of the claim language. Petitioner makes much of the
`
`word “or,” and attempts to frame Patent Owner’s argument as contrary to the
`
`common understanding of “or.” But Petitioner and Dr. Apsel entirely ignore the
`
`central premise of Patent Owner’s argument: that claim terms must be read as a
`
`whole and construed so as to avoid rendering other claim terms meaningless. As
`
`Patent Owner explained in its POR, “despite the claim’s inclusion of the conjunction
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`

`‘or,’ the ‘boosted supply voltage’ and the ‘first supply voltage’ are not alternative
`
`options. The claimed envelope amplifier must be capable of operating based on both
`
`– one or the other at any given time, as selected by and based on an operational
`
`condition.” Paper 16 at 24-25.
`
`The claim as a whole makes evident that both the first supply voltage and the
`
`boosted supply voltage are required in the claims and are not merely alternative
`
`options. In her depositions, Dr. Apsel was asked about certain limitations in the
`
`context of claim 6, a claim that Petitioner challenges in related case IPR2018-01153.
`
`As Patent Owner explained in that case, claim 6 requires certain elements, such as a
`
`boosted supply voltage, that Petitioner’s construction would render meaningless.
`
`And Petitioner’s expert agreed that “[t]here must be a boosted supply voltage
`
`somewhere” for claim 6 to function. Ex. 2008 at 25:8-31:9.
`
`The same is true for claim 13. Under Petitioner’s proposed construction,
`
`certain claim elements would be rendered meaningless. For example, the claim 13
`
`limitation “‘a boost converter operative to receive the first supply voltage and
`
`provide a boosted supply voltage having a higher voltage than the first supply
`
`voltage’ serves no purpose whatsoever” under Petitioner’s proposed construction.
`
`Paper 16 at 23-24. The only reasonable interpretation is that the envelope amplifier
`
`must be able to receive both voltage inputs, and selectively choose which one to use.
`
`In other words, despite the claim’s inclusion of the conjunction “or,” the “boosted
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`supply voltage” and the “first supply voltage” are not alternative options. The
`
`claimed envelope amplifier must be capable of operating based on both – one or the
`
`other at any given time.
`
`Petitioner’s Reply seeks to undo Dr. Apsel’s testimony but fails to rebut Patent
`
`Owner’s argument that the claim term must be construed in the context of the claim
`
`as a whole. Petitioner instead offers a misguided “coffee or tea” analogy, which
`
`only highlights Petitioner’s fundamental error in its proposed claim construction. At
`
`his deposition, Patent Owner’s expert testified that in the “hypothetical abstract
`
`outside the bounds of the ’558” Patent, giving a person tea could satisfy a request
`
`for “coffee or tea.” Ex. 1028 at 130:19-131:2. But the analogy entirely ignores
`
`Patent Owner’s argument. Extending the analogy to more accurately represent the
`
`fact pattern, a restaurant must have both coffee and tea as available options to choose
`
`from. Then, when a customer states “give me coffee or tea,” the request can be
`
`satisfied by giving the customer tea. Petitioner’s original analogy, like their
`
`proposed claim construction, continues to ignore that the claim as a whole requires
`
`both options to be available before the selection is made.
`
`Accordingly, for the reasons above, Petitioner’s reading of the claim 13
`
`limitation in a purely alternative fashion is contrary to established Federal Circuit
`
`precedent and inconsistent with the claim language as a whole. The broadest
`
`reasonable interpretation of the claim 13 limitation requires a selective boost.
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`Because Petitioner concedes that Ground III is insufficient when properly construed
`
`to require a selective boost, the Board should dismiss Ground III of the Petition.
`
`III. GROUND IV SHOULD BE DISMISSED BECAUSE PETITIONER
`FAILED TO DEMONSTRATE A SUFFICIENT MOTIVATION TO
`COMBINE CHU, CHOI 2010, AND MYERS
`Petitioner presents no persuasive argument that substantively rebuts Patent
`
`Owner’s argument that there is no motivation to combine Choi 2010 with a selective
`
`boost.
`
`First, Petitioner argues that Patent Owner is incorrect in arguing a “boost is
`
`not merely a general preference [in Choi 2010]; Choi 2010 discloses no other manner
`
`to achieve its objective of minimizing the degradation of output power.” In support,
`
`Petitioner argues that Choi 2010 “in fact teaches using the boosted voltage to
`
`‘achiev[e] the robust operation against the battery depletion.’” Paper 20 at 18. But
`
`this passage in no way diminishes or negates Patent Owner’s argument that Choi
`
`2010 discloses no other manner for achieving its objectives.
`
`Moreover, Choi 2010 discourages from making the proposed modification
`
`because the battery voltage in Choi 2010 is never sufficient. Choi 2010’s battery
`
`voltage ranges from 2.8 to 4.2 volts. Choi 2010 further teaches that its Power
`
`Amplifier must be capable of outputting 4.5 volts. Thus, to resolve this issue, Choi
`
`2010 always boosts the supply voltage to 5 volts, so that after accounting for losses,
`
`the Power Amplifier will always receive a constant 4.5 volts. Ex. 1006 at 1335.
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`Choi 2010 never operates, and could never adequately operate, based solely on the
`
`battery voltage, which is lower than the required output voltage of the Power
`
`Amplifier. Petitioner’s reliance on Choi 2010’s teaching of using a boosted voltage
`
`to “achiev[e] the robust operation against the battery depletion” not only fails to
`
`support Petitioner’s argument, it is additional support for Patent Owner’s argument
`
`that Choi 2010 teaches no other manner for achieving its objectives.
`
`Second, Choi 2010’s teachings go beyond merely stating a preference for
`
`using a boosted voltage to minimize the impact of a degrading battery voltage.
`
`Rather, Choi 2010 teaches no other way for achieving this goal, and in fact, Choi
`
`2010 requires a boosted voltage in order to avoid output degradation even with a
`
`fully charged battery. A POSA reading Choi 2010 would be discouraged from
`
`modifying Choi 2010’s core design consideration – using a constant boosted voltage
`
`– because Choi 2010 cannot satisfactorily operate without a boosted voltage.
`
`Third, Petitioner’s reliance on the ’558 Patent does not diminish the fact that
`
`Choi 2010 must always use a constant boosted supply voltage, and never a selective
`
`boost. As Patent Owner explained in its POR, the “inventor’s own path itself never
`
`leads to a conclusion of obviousness; that is hindsight.” Otsuka Pharm. Co. v.
`
`Sandoz, Inc., 678 F.3d 1280, 1296 (Fed. Cir. 2012). Moreover, Petitioner’s citations
`
`are disingenuous, as Figure 2B relates to an older average power tracking technology
`
`that is unrelated to the claimed selective boost.
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`

`Accordingly, for at least these reasons, Petitioner failed to establish a
`
`motivation to combine Chu, Choi 2010, and Myers. The Board should therefore
`
`dismiss Ground IV and confirm the patentability of claim 13.
`
`IV. GROUNDS III AND IV SHOULD BE DISMISSED BECAUSE
`PETITIONER FAILED TO DEMONSTRATE A SUFFICIENT
`MOTIVATION TO COMBINE CHU AND CHOI 2010
`In addition to failing to establish a motivation to combine Chu, Choi 2010,
`
`
`
`and Myers, Petitioner has also failed to present a sufficient motivation to combine
`
`the underlying Chu and Choi 2010 references. As Patent Owner explained in its
`
`POR, a POSA would not have been motivated to combine Chu and Choi 2010
`
`because they address different problems with different solutions that are in tension
`
`with each other. Paper 16 at 25-26. As such, their objectives conflict with each
`
`other and require necessary trade-offs. Id.
`
`Ground III relies only on Petitioner’s incorrect claim construction not
`
`requiring a selective boost. Under this construction, Petitioner presented numerous
`
`motivation to combine arguments that all fail to explain how a POSA would combine
`
`Chu and Choi 2010 without destroying the benefits of one or the other. Petitioner’s
`
`Reply, for the first time, relies on examples and testimony relating to switching
`
`between power sources as support for how a POSA would combine Chu and Choi
`
`2010. See Paper 20 at 15-16. But the Petition included no such argument with
`
`respect to Chu and Choi 2010. Therefore, the Board should disregard Petitioner’s
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`

`attempt to belatedly back-fill its Petition with a new motivation to combine
`
`argument. See Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc. v. Illumina Cambridge Ltd., 821 F.3d
`
`1359, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (“[T]he expedited nature of IPRs bring with it an
`
`obligation for petitioners to make their case in their petition to institute.” See also
`
`Ariosa Diagnostics v. Verinata Health, Inc., 805 F.3d 1359, 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2015)
`
`(“challenger obliged to make an adequate case in its Petition and the Reply limited
`
`to a true rebuttal role”).
`
`The Petition similarly provided no such argument in the context of the Chu,
`
`Choi 2010, and Myers combination of Ground IV. That is, the Petition never relied
`
`on switching between power sources as support for why a POSA would combine
`
`Chu and Choi 2010, despite the fact that Petitioner then relied on Myers as allegedly
`
`disclosing that limitation. Here too, the Board should disregard Petitioner’s attempt
`
`to belatedly back-fill its motivation to combine argument.
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Reply presents arguments that amount to little more than
`
`recognizing the problems that Chu and Choi 2010 separately addressed. But a
`
`POSA’s awareness of both problems tells a POSA nothing about how to
`
`simultaneously minimize both problems in a satisfactory manner. As Patent Owner
`
`explained in its POR, how to resolve the tension between Chu and Choi 2010’s
`
`solutions is noticeably missing from Petitioner’s alleged motivation to combine Chu
`
`and Choi 2010. Paper 16 at 27-32.
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`

`
`
`Petitioner’s Reply ignores that the proposed modification of Chu to include
`
`the constant boosted voltage of Choi 2010 would eviscerate the benefits taught by
`
`Chu and undermine Chu’s objective of improving efficiency. Instead, Petitioner
`
`now argues that a POSA would have known to combine Chu and Choi 2010 by
`
`selectively choosing between power sources. But this new alleged motivation is
`
`based on impermissible hindsight reconstruction. With the benefit of hindsight,
`
`Petitioner presumes that because a POSA would have known about both problems
`
`in Chu and Choi 2010, the POSA therefore would have combined Chu and Choi
`
`2010 to solve both problems using the solution disclosed in the ’558 Patent.
`
`The ’558 Patent resolved the problem by inventing a way to operate a linear envelope
`
`amplifier based on using a first supply voltage (e.g., a battery) when the first supply
`
`voltage is sufficient, or a boosted supply voltage when the first supply voltage
`
`degrades too much. In this way, the ’558 Patent maximizes efficiency by relying on
`
`a boosted voltage only when necessary, while simultaneously ensuring that the
`
`output power would not be degraded if the battery voltage dropped too low. The
`
`claimed “selective boost” reconciled the objectives of Chu and Choi 2010.
`
`
`
`As Patent Owner explained in its POR, the “inventor’s own path itself never
`
`leads to a conclusion of obviousness; that is hindsight.” Otsuka Pharm. Co., 678
`
`F.3d at 1296. As explained above and in the POR, the pertinent prior art provides
`
`
`
`14
`
`

`

`no path leading a POSA to both prevent distortion of the amplified signal and
`
`simultaneously maximize efficiency.
`
`
`
`For at least these reasons, Petitioner fails to establish a motivation to combine
`
`Chu and Choi 2010. Because Grounds III and IV both depend on the combination
`
`of Chu and Choi 2010, the Board should dismiss both grounds and confirm the
`
`patentability of claim 13.
`
`V. CONCLUSION
`
`For the reasons above, the Board should confirm the patentability of claim 13
`
`in the Final Written Decision.
