`Alleged Innovation of the ’535 Patent – Selecting
`Compression Algorithms Suitable for the Data Type
`
`The ’535 Patent’s controller (11) uses data profiles (15) having
`“access profiles” for selecting suitable compression algorithms (13)
`for a particular data type

`

`Alleged Innovation of the ’535 Patent – Selecting
`Compression Algorithms Suitable for the Data Type
`
`The ’535 Patent uses the “access profiles” to link the “data type” to
`the compression algorithm
`For example, the ’535 Patent links “Data Types” with “Access Profile
`1” to an “Asymmetrical (Slow compression)” compression algorithm

`The ’535 Patent Claims Select an “Access Profile” Based on the
`Data and Compress Using Information from the “Access Profile”
`
`1. A method, comprising:
`
`determining, a parameter or an attribute of at least a
`portion of a data block having video or audio data;
`
`selecting an access profile from among a plurality of
`access profiles based upon the determined parameter or
`attribute; and
`
`compressing the at least the portion of the data block
`with one or more compressors using asymmetric data
`compression and information from the selected access
`profile to create one or more compressed data blocks, the
`information being indicative of the one or more
`compressors to apply to the at least the portion of the data
`block.

`DISH’s Construction Is Supported by the Specification
`
`The specification explicitly states that “access profiles” are “information

`

`DISH’s Construction Is Supported by the Specification
`
`The specification shows that “Access Profiles” provide a link
`between “Data Types” and “Compression Algirthms”
`For example, the ’535 Patent links “Data Types” with “Access Profile
`1” to an “Asymmetrical (Slow compression)” compression algorithm

`

`Realtime’s Construction Is Subjective and Aspirational
`
`The Board should refrain from using subjective terms
`like “suitable” and “desired” to define “access profile”
`

`subjective” and therefore indefinite for failing to
`provide the “reasonable certainty”

`

`Realtime’s Construction Improperly Inserts Limitations from

`
`The claims say nothing about the algorithm or “compressor” being
`“suitable,” let alone one that meets a “desired balance between execution
`speed . . . and efficiency.”
`
`1. A method, comprising:
`
`determining, a parameter or an attribute of at least a portion of a data block
`having video or audio data;
`
`selecting an access profile from among a plurality of access profiles based
`upon the determined parameter or attribute; and
`
`compressing the at least the portion of the data block with one or more

`Net MoneyIN Supports DISH’s Position, Not Realitme’s
`
`In Net MoneyIN, the Federal Circuit rejected an anticipation theory that
`relied on “two mutually exclusive” embodiments
`
`As illustrated by our colloquy with counsel at oral
`argument, it is not clear whether the payment models
`disclosed in the iKP reference are mutually exclusive.
`Viewing the facts in the light most favorable to NMI,
`however, as we must do at
`this stage in the
`proceedings, the reference is properly construed to
`show two mutually exclusive payment models.

`The PTAB Has Already Rejected Realtime’s “Multiple
`Embodiments” Argument
`
`“That Tian itself includes what it characterizes as “one or
`more embodiments,” “one or more other embodiments,”
`“other exemplary embodiments,” or “additional embodiments”
`does not undermine Petitioner’s position. It is what the Petition
`relies on that matters.
`With respect to limitation 1.b, Patent Owner’s citations do not
`establish Petitioner
`is
`relying
`on
`separate
`and
`distinct
`embodiments. The use of “various implementations” in the table’s
`citation to Tian’s column 31 does not specify any embodiment. See
`Ex. 1004, 31:46–50. The other citation to Tian is directed to a
`particular embodiment (“[i]n this implementation”) and does not
`raise a separate and distinct embodiment from the first cite. See id.
`at 34:7–14. Significantly, the Petition does not rely on either of the
`citations identified by Patent Owner. Petitioner cites to various
`parts of Tian but, as noted above in our analysis of claim 1, the
`primary disclosures cited are not separate or distinct from the
`broadest disclosure of Tian. At this stage, additional citations
`to Tian beyond the primary disclosure are not required to
`establish unpatentability.”

`Issue 3 (Grounds 1 and 2): Dvir Discloses “Asymmetric”
`Compression Under Either Party’s Construction
`
`Claim Construction – the only substantive difference in the parties’

`speeds must differ “significantly”
`
`Realtime

`
`“compression algorithm in which the
`execution time for compression and
`decompression differ significantly”

`admitted the common specification does not explain which
`differences are “significant”

`

`Realtime’s Arguments Disregard the Parties’ Agreed-Upon
`Construction of “Data Block”
`
`Realtime provides no support for its argument that a “data block”
`must be made up of contiguous pixels or have “common
`characteristics or functionality”
`The parties’ agreed-upon construction includes “complete files or
`collection of multiple files”

`

`

`
`

`
`

`

`Realtime’s Arguments Disregard the Claim Language
`
`Claim 1 merely requires “determining, a parameter or an attribute of at
`least a portion of a data block”
`If a frame or adjacent frames constitute data blocks, a “sample” must be
`either the data block or a portion of a data block
`
`1. A method, comprising:
`
`determining, a parameter or an attribute of at least a portion of a data block
`having video or audio data;
`
`selecting an access profile from among a plurality of access profiles based
`upon the determined parameter or attribute; and
`
`compressing the at least the portion of the data block with one or more
`compressors using asymmetric data compression and information from the
`selected access profile to create one or more compressed data blocks, the
`information being indicative of the one or more compressors to apply to the at
`least the portion of the data block.

`Issue 1 (Ground 3): a POSITA Would Be Motivated to Combine
`Dvir and Ishii
`
`Realtime does not dispute that Ishii discloses:
`• data storage (claims 3-6)
`• compression algorithm selection based on access frequency (claim 8)
`• compressed data comprising portions of files (claims 11-12)
`
`Ishii stores and compresses
`files based on access

`

`Issue 1 (Ground 3): a POSITA Would Be Motivated to
`Combine Dvir and Ishii
`
`Realtime’s three reasons why a POSITA would not combine Dvir and
`Ishii are unsupported
`
`1. Dvir and Ishii “have no overlap in functionality”
`
`2. Combining Dvir and Ishii would likely result in “added
`complexity”
`
`3. “Dvir and Ishii have different principles of operation”

`

`Realtime’s First Argument Fails: a POSITA Would Combine
`Dvir and Ishii
`
`Realtime’s argument why a POSITA would not combine Dvir and Ishii
`reveals the complementary nature of the two references:
`
`Dvir focuses on content delivery, not content storage
`
`Ishii focuses on content storage, not content delivery
