`New Theories Forbidden in Reply
`Thus, although “the introduction of new evidence
`in the course of the trial is to be expected in inter
`partes review trial proceedings,” the shifting of
`arguments is not, Petitioner’s inherency
`argument . . . is an impermissible shift of its
`anticipation theory because “[r]ather than
`explaining how its original petition was correct,”
`. . . Petitioner’s “subsequent arguments amount
`Despite the Petition arguing Claim 1[e] is disclosed by Lei,
`to an entirely new theory of anticipation absent

`Unlike district court litigation . . . the
`expedited nature of IPRs bring with it an
`obligation for petitioners to make their case
`in their petition to institute. While the Board's
`requirements are strict ones, they are
`requirements of which petitioners are aware

`when they seek to institute an IPR.

`Arguments That “Could Have Been Made” in Petition
`
`The declaration raises a new obviousness
`argument for this limitation that could have
`been made in the petition . . . which

`number of other claim limitations. [Petitioner]

`in its petition, but chose not to.

`

`Sling Waived Argument for “Asymmetrical” Compression
`
`Sling waived any argument under Realtime’s correct
`construction for “asymmetrical” compression
`• Realtime’s construction comes from express
`definition the patent itself
`Sling’s Petition cites three earlier IPRs where
`petitioners proposed same construction (IPR2018-
`01169, IPR2018-01170, and IPR2018-00833)
`Sling’s own expert said it was express definition

`Law of Anticipation
`
`The jury instruction states: “Rather, for anticipation,
`it is sufficient if the single reference would have
`informed those skilled in the art that all of the
`claimed elements could have been arranged as in
`the claimed invention.” We agree with Abbott,
`therefore, that when read in its entirety, the
`instruction is incorrect because it makes sufficient,
`for purposes of anticipation, a prior art disclosure of
`individual claim elements that “could have been
`arranged” in a way that is not itself described or
`depicted in the anticipatory reference.

`

`

`Law of Anticipation
`
`The way in which the elements are arranged or
`combined in the claim must itself be disclosed, either
`expressly or inherently, in an anticipatory reference
`. . . . The requirement that the prior art elements
`themselves be “arranged as in the claim” means that
`claims cannot be “treated . . . as mere catalogs of
`separate parts, in disregard of the part-to-part
`relationships set forth in the claims and that give the
`claims their meaning.”

`

`Law of Anticipation
`
`Unless a reference discloses within the four
`corners of the document not only all of the
`limitations claimed but also all of the limitations
`arranged or combined in the same way as
`recited in the claim, it cannot be said to prove
`prior invention of the thing claimed and, thus,
`cannot anticipate under 35 U.S.C. § 102.

`The Petition Ignores Embodiments
`
`•
`
`Sling and its expert, Dr. Acton, fail to analyze or even
`discuss a reference’s embodiments in the Petition.
`• The word “embodiment” does not appear in the
`Petition’s claim analysis
`
`• Dr. Acton declined to answer questions about
`embodiments, including how many embodiments are
`disclosed or whether he analyzed that question

`

`The Petition Fails to Prove Anticipation
`
`• The Petition fails to show reference discloses “all of
`the limitations arranged or combined in the same way
`as recited in the claim . . . to prove prior invention of
`the thing claimed ” (NetMoney, Therasense)
`
`• Petition also fails to show that a POSITA, reading
`reference would “at once envisage” the claimed
`arrangement or combination.
`
`• The Petition fails to make a prima facie showing of
`anticipation and cannot cure this inreply.

`

`Dvir Does Not Anticipate “Data Block”
`
`Sling’s argument is a non-sequitur.:
`
`•
`
`Sling argues that other things, a “DVD movie,”
`“frame,” or “adjacent frames” could be a data block
`
`• But other things are meaningfully different from
`“groups of rasters” and might be considered a single
`unit in ways that groups of rasters cannot.
`
`• But “groups of rasters” is not itself a data block

`

`Sling’s Dvir Anticipation Theory Fails
`
`•
`
`•
`
`“determining a parameter or attribute of at least a
`portion of the data block”
`•
`Sling’s argument is inconsistent with argument for
`“data block”
`• Any identified “parameter or attribute” is not that
`of a single 8x8 block.
`
`Sling’s new theory that Dvir renders “data block”
`obvious is entirely absent from the Petition

`“Access Profile” Under Realtime’s Construction

`compression algorithm based on balancing
`compression speed and efficiency
`
`• Dvir’s disclosures are about selecting algorithm based
