`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Background
`A.
`On July 21, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition (Paper 1, “Pet.””) to
`
`institute inter partes review of claims 1, 5-8, 10, 14, 57, 60-62, 64, and 65
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 7,489,786 B2 (Ex. 1001, “the ’786 patent”). On
`
`November15, 2016, Patent Ownerfiled a Preliminary Response (Paper6,
`
`“Prelim. Resp.”).
`
`To institute an inter partes review, we must determinethat the
`
`information presented in the Petition shows ‘“‘that there is a reasonable
`
`likelihood that the petitioner would prevail with respect to at least 1 of the
`
`claims challenged in the petition.” 35 U.S.C. § 314(a). Having considered
`
`both the Petition and the Preliminary Response, we determine that Petitioner
`
`has not demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that it would prevail in
`
`establishing the unpatentability of any of claims 1, 5—8, 10, 14, 57, 60-62,
`
`64, and 65. We do notinstitute an inter partes review of any claim ofthe
`
`°786 patent.
`
`B.
`
`Related Matters
`
`Petitioner indicates that the ’786 patent was asserted by Patent Owner
`
`against Petitioner in Blitzsafe Texas, LLC v. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. et al.,
`
`No. 2:15-cv-1274 (E.D. Tex.). Pet. 2. The parties indicate that the
`
`°786 patent is the subject of four other actions in the Eastern District of
`Texas. Pet. 58-59; Paper 3, 1. Theparties further indicate that the
`°786 patent is the subject of two concluded matters in the District of New
`
`Jersey. Pet. 59; Paper 3,2. The ’786 patent also is the subject patent in
`
`these inter partes review proceedings: IPR2016-00421, IPR2016-00422,
`
`IPR2016-01448, and IPR2016-01477. U.S. Patent No. 8,155,342 B2 isa

`
`C.
`
`The ’786 Patent
`
`The ’786 patentis titled “Audio Device Integration System.”
`
`Ex. 1001, (54). The Abstract portion of the Specification explains:
`
`[O]ne or more after-market audio devices, such as a CD player,
`CD changer, MP3player, satellite receiver, DAB receiver, or the
`like, is integrated for use with an existing OEM or after-market
`car stereo system, wherein control commands can be issued at
`the car stereo and responsive data from the audio device can be
`displayed on the stereo.
`
`Id. at Abstr.
`
`In the Background of the Invention portion of the Specification, a
`
`problem with which the ’786 patent is concernedis described as follows:
`
`A particular problem with integrating after-market audio
`systems with existing car stereos is that signals generated by the
`car stereo is in a proprietary format, and is not capable of being
`processed by the after-market system. Additionally, signals
`generated by the after-market system are also in a proprietary
`format that is not recognizable by the car stereo. Thus, in order
`to integrate after-market systems with car stereos, it is necessary
`to convert signals between such systems.
`Id. at 1:36-44. In the Summary ofthe Invention portion of the
`
`Specification,it is stated:
`
`The commandsgenerated at the control panel [of a car stereo]
`are received by the present invention and converted into a format
`recognizable by the after-market audio device. The formatted
`commandsare executedby the audio device, and audio therefrom
`is channeledto the car stereo. Information from the audio device
`is received by the present invention, converted into a format

`
`Page 22 of 1462
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01472
`Patent 7,489,786 B2
`
`recognizable by the car stereo, and forwarded to the car stereo
`for display thereby.
`
`Ex. 1001, 2:35—-42.
`
`The ’786 patent describes:
`
`Control commands generated at the car stereo are received,
`processed, converted into a format recognizable by the audio
`device, and dispatched to the audio device for execution.
`Information from the audio device, including track, disc, song,
`station,
`time, and other information,
`is received, processed,
`converted into a format recognizable by the car stereo, and
`dispatched to the car stereo for display thereon.
`Id. Additional auxiliary sources also may be integrated together, and “a user
`
`can select between the [audio] device or the one or more auxiliary input
`
`sources by issuing selection commandsthroughthe car stereo.” Id.
