Apple et al v. INVT SPE LLC
`U.S. Patent No. 7,764,711
`
`IPR2018-01476
`Oral Hearing, January 14, 2020
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`1
`
`

`

`Key Disputes
`
`1. Claim Construction. The challenged claims require
`simultaneous use of transmit diversity (TD) and spatial
`multiplexing (MIMO)
`2. Substantive Failure. The asserted references fail to teach
`“simultaneous” TD and MIMO, where TD is used for a
`“specific” [higher priority] data item
`3. Motivation to combine. Failed to meet burden to show
`why POSITA would expect success, particularly where
`Huang teaches away
`4. Secondary Considerations. At least some weight
`supporting non-obviousness.

`The ’711 Patent – The Invention
`What is claimed is:
`1. A transmitting apparatus employing a MIMO (multi-input/multi-output)
`scheme of transmitting a plurality of data items for a same receiving
`apparatus using a plurality of antennas in parallel, the transmitting
`apparatus comprising:
`[a] a mapping section that maps the plurality of data items to at least one
`of the plurality of antennas; and
`[b] a transmitting section that transmits the plurality of data items using
`the at least one of the plurality of antennas to the receiving apparatus,
`[c] wherein the mapping section generates a replica data item by
`replicating a specific data item of the plurality of data items, and maps
`the plurality of data items to the at lest one of the plurality of antennas
`such that the specific data item and the replica data item are
`transmitted from different antennas at a same time.

`Ground 1 – Petitioners’ Obviousness Contentions
`• The Petition relies on:
`
`Element
`
`Preamble
`
`A transmitting apparatus employing a MIMO (multi-input/multi-
`output) scheme of transmitting a plurality of data items for a
`same receiving apparatus using a plurality of antennas in
`parallel, the transmitting apparatus comprising:
`
`Reference(s) Relied On
`
`Paulraj (Pet. at 18-21)
`
`1[a]
`
`1[b]
`
`1[c]
`
`A mapping section that maps the plurality of data items to at least
`one of the plurality of antennas; and
`
`Paulraj (Pet. at 21-25)
`
`A transmitting section that transmits…
`
`Paulraj (Pet. at 26-28)
`
`Wherein the mapping section generates a replica data item by
`replicating a specific data item of the plurality of data items, and
`maps the plurality of data items to the at least one of the plurality
`of antennas such that the specific data item and replica data item
`are transmitted from different antennas at a same time
`
`Paulraj, modified for
`Walton’s repetition unit
`(specific data item) and
`Huang for TD at a same
`time (Pet. at 28-37)
`
`31
`
`

`

`Element Not Taught – Simultaneous TD and MIMO
`
`Element 1(c) – “Wherein the mapping section generates a
`replica data item by replicating a specific data item of the
`plurality of data items, and maps the plurality of data
`items to the at least one of the plurality of antennas such
`that the specific data item and replica data item are
`transmitted from different antennas at a same time”

`Motivation to Combine
`
`Motivation to Combine
`
`40
`
`

`

`Petitioners Fail to Meet Their Burden on Motivation to Combine
`
`1. No Expectation of Success – Petitioners fail to
`explain how a POSITA would modify Paulraj to
`simultaneously process data with priorities, or why
`one would expect success in doing so
`2. Huang Teaches Away – Huang’s conclusion is to not
`use TD and MIMO simultaneously
`
`41
`
`

`

`Motivation to Combine – No Expectation of Success
`
`Petitioners fail to explain how a POSITA would modify Paulraj to
`simultaneously process multiple data items with different priorities
`•
`The only signal processing taught by Paulraj does not process
`multiple datastreams (data items) simultaneously
`Thus, processing Walton’s higher priority data, at the same time as
`Paulraj’s single datastream, would require modifying Paulraj by
`adding a second datastream
`
`•
`

`
`

`

`Motivation to Combine – No Expectation of Success
`
`Petitioners fail to explain how a POSITA would modify Paulraj to
`simultaneously process multiple data items with different priorities
`
`Ex. 2002 at ¶ 57
`
`43
`
`

`

`Motivation to Combine – No Expectation of Success
`
`•
`
`Petitioners fail to explain how a POSITA would modify Paulraj to
`simultaneously process multiple data items with different priorities
`•
`Petitioners did not rebut Dr. Vojcic’s testimony, instead only arguing in
`Reply that “physical substitution” is not required as a matter of law
`Physical substitution is not INVT or Dr. Vojcic’s argument
`– What is missing is an explanation of how the different priority data item
`would be processed simultaneously
`Petitioners bear burden to prove expectation of success,
`Petitioners choice not to address how Paulraj would be modified to
`simultanesouly process a different priority data item is fatal
`
`•
`•
`
`44
`
`

`

`Motivation to Combine – Huang Teaches Away
`
`Huang’s conclusion is to not use TD and MIMO simultaneously.

`

`Petitioners Fail to Meet Their Burden
`
`1. Claims limited to “simultaneous”
`2. Element not met:
`• Simultaneous TD and MIMO, where TD limited to higher
`priority specific data item (element 1(c))
`3. Motivation to combine:
`• Failure to explain why a POSITA would expect success
`in combining Paulraj and Walton
`• Huang teaches away
`4. Secondary Considerations support non-
`obviousness
