`I.
`
`Introduction.
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`
`Petitioner Canon’s proposed demonstrative slides, like Canon’s Reply and its
`
`Exhibits, are rife with improper new theories, directions, approaches, arguments and
`
`evidence which are not proper rebuttal and which Canon could, and should, have
`
`presented in its prima facie case in its Petition (collectively the “Improper New
`
`Matters”). Such Improper New Matters violate 37 C.F.R. §42.23(b), the
`
`Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) and due process. See Genzyme v. Biomarin
`
`Pharm., 825 F.3d 1360, 1365-66 (Fed. Cir. 2016); Intelligent Bio-Sys. v. Illumina
`
`Cambridge, 821 F.3d 1359, 1369-70 (Fed. Cir. 2016); In re NuVasive, 841 F.3d 966,
`
`973 (Fed. Cir. 2016); Belden v. Berk-Tek, 805 F.3d 1064, 1078, 1081 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2015); Apple v. e-Watch, IPR2015-00412 (Paper 50, p. 44) (PTAB May 6, 2016);
`
`See Consolidated Guide, pp. 73 & 80-81. See also 5 U.S.C. §§ 554(b)-(c), 556(d),
`
`557(c); Abbott Labs. v. Cordis, 710 F.3d 1318, 1328 (Fed. Cir. 2013). See also
`
`Cellspin’s January 3, 2020 Motion to Strike (“MTS”) and Cellspin’s January 10,
`
`2020 Response to Canon’s Motion to Strike (Paper 40). Canon’s original theory in
`
`its Petition for “paired wireless connection” limitation being met was that Hiroishi’s
`
`Bluetooth (“BT”) wireless connection was paired because it allows two-way
`
`communication. Paper 1 (Pet.), p. 23.The PTAB should strike, or alternatively,
`
`exclude, Canon’s improper demonstratives, which were submitted as a whole, in
`
`their entirety. See CBS Interactive v. Helferich Patent Licensing, IPR2013-00033,

`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`Paper 118 (Oct. 23, 2013). Alternatively, the PTAB should strike, or alternatively,
`
`exclude, the individual slides specifically noted below. It should be noted that all
`
`matters sought to be excluded as demonstratives herein are not specifically included
`
`in Cellspin’s MTS, and thus it would be improper to defer ruling on these objections
`
`until the MTS is ruled upon, unless the MTS will be ruled upon prior to the upcoming
`
`oral hearing.
`
`II. Objections and Argument.
`
`A. Objections to Slides 14-17
`
`Cellspin objects to Petitioners slides 14-17 because the this purported “State
`
`of the Art” constitutes Improper New Matters, namely the evidence in each is from
`
`the BT Basic Imaging Profile (“BIP”), Ex. 2023. This purported “State of the Art”
`
`was not relied upon or cited in Canon’s Petition, nor was it even cited in Canon’s
`
`Reply for being indicative of the state of the art. See, e.g., CBS Interactive, IPR2013-
`
`00033, Paper 118 at 4 (Oct. 23, 2013) (burden on party presenting the slide to be
`
`able to point to a sentence or paragraph in a paper of record for support). Rather,
`
`these slide titles for “State of the Art” are a subterfuge for Canon to provide evidence
`
`supporting its Improper New theory/argument/position/ assertion that “paired
`
`wireless connections” are allegedly obvious, which was improperly asserted for the
`
`first time in Canon’s Reply. See MTS, §III.A. Canon’s original theory in its Petition
`
`for “paired wireless connection” limitation being met was that Hiroishi’s Bluetooth
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`(“BT”) wireless connection was paired because it allows two-way communication.
`
`Paper 1 (Pet.), p. 23. Here Canon relied upon the original Madisetti Dec. Ex. 1003,¶¶
`
`97-100. Canon had no obviousness theory with regard to paired connections. Paper
`
`1, p. 23; Ex. 1003, ¶¶ 97-100. See MTS, §III.A.
`
`Canon’s Reply, in reliance upon the improper Madisetti Reply Dec. at Ex.
`
`1043, improperly relies in multiple places upon a new theory of obviousness to pair,
`
`including that a POSITA would have been motivated to pair the Hiroishi and/or
`
`Hollstrom wireless connections for various reasons, including encouragement,
`
`design choice, expectedness, routineness and/or due to predictable results. E.g.,
`
`Reply (Paper 36), p. 2, pp. 9-10; Ex. 1043 ¶¶ 9-13. See MTS, §III.A
`
`Canon’s new obviousness theory further relies upon Improper New Matters
`
`from the BIP. Reply, pp. 11-13; Ex. 1043 ¶ 12. See MTS, §III.A. Slides 14-17 all
`
`feature the BIP. They each note that Canon referenced the BIP at p. 11 of its Reply
`
`Brief, which is part of Canon’s Improper New Matters concerning alleged
`
`obviousness of “paired wireless connection.”
`
`Here and throughout its demonstrative slides, Canon’s, being aware of
`
`Cellspin’s pending Motion to Strike, has used minimalistic titles, or here, downright
`
`misleading titles, for its slides seeks to mask its purpose for offering the evidence
`
`contained therein, but the only purpose for Canon possibly offering them is
`
`necessarily to advance the foregoing Improper New Matters.
`

`
`

`

`
`
`B. Objections to Slides 63-69
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`
`Cellspin objects to Slides 63-69 including because the purported evidence
`
`therein for “Establishing a paired wireless connection … cryptographically
`
`authenticating” constitutes Improper New Matters. These slides do not provide any
`
`purported evidence for an asserted prior art device establishing a paired wireless
`
`connection” or for an asserted device cryptographically authenticating. Rather, the
`
`title references to “Establishing a paired wireless connection … cryptographically
`
`authenticating” are a subterfuge for Canon to instead provide evidence supporting
`
`its Improper New theory/argument/position/ assertion that “paired wireless
`
`connections” are allegedly obvious, which was improperly asserted for the first time
`
`in Canon’s Reply. See MTS, §III.A.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slide 63 because the cited text from the Madisetti
`
`Deposition at Ex. 1042 is an improper attempt by Canon and Dr. Madisetti to assert
`
`Improper New Matters, namely their new obviousness theory for “paired wireless
`
`connection” slipped in during Dr. Madisetti’s deposition, when Dr. Madisetti was
`
`supposed to be testifying about the opinions in his Declaration at Ex. 1003, not new
`
`opinions that he had formed after his Declaration and after Canon’s Petition. See
`
`Cellspin’s MTS, §III.A. Dr. Madisetti’s testimony about obviousness was obviously
`
`pre-planned to be improperly interjected by Dr. Madisetti at the first opportunity, as
`
`it was not even responsive to the question posed, which was “That's an example of
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`optional pairing in Bluetooth 2.1, correct?” Ex. 2040, 13:2-3. This evidence and
`
`indeed such an opinion/theory of obviousness from Dr. Madisetti were not relied
`
`upon in Canon’s Petition. Despite the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it is
`
`clear from Canon’s Reply that this Improper New evidence from Ex. Ex. 1042 at
`
`13:12-19 is being used to support its Improper New Obviousness Theory. See
`
`Canon’s Reply, p. 9.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Petitioners Slides 64 and 69 because the cited text
`
`from the Madisetti Reply Declaration at Ex. 1043 is an improper attempt by Canon
`
`and Dr. Madisetti to assert Improper New Matters, namely their new obviousness
`
`theory for “paired wireless connection” by including it in Canon’s Reply and Ex.
`
`1043. See Cellspin’s MTS, §III.A. This evidence and indeed such an opinion/theory
`
`of obviousness from Dr. Madisetti were not relied upon in Canon’s Petition. Despite
`
`the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it is clear from Canon’s Reply that this
`
`Improper New evidence from Ex. 1043 is being used to support its Improper New
`
`Obviousness Theory. See Canon’s Reply, pp. 9-10.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Petitioners Slides 65-67 because the cited text from
`
`the Foley Deposition at Ex. 1040 is an improper attempt by Canon to assert Improper
`
`New Matters, namely its new obviousness theory for “paired wireless connection”
`
`by slipping it in during Dr. Foley’s deposition, when Canon was supposed to be
`
`asking Dr. Foley about his opinions in Ex. 2009, not posing questions to get sound
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`bites for a new obviousness theory that Canon had formulated post-Petition. Despite
`
`the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it is clear from Canon’s Reply that this
`
`Improper New evidence from Ex. 1040 is being used to support its Improper New
`
`Obviousness Theory. See Canon’s Reply, p. 9.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slide 68 because Ex. 2023, which was not cited in
`
`Canon’s Petition, is Improper New evidence offered in Canon’s Reply, and not in
`
`Canon’s Petition, support the foregoing Improper New obviousness Reply
`
`theory/argument/position/assertion. This is a citation to the BIP, which is discussed
`
`at Slides 14-17 above. Despite the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it is clear
`
`from Canon’s Reply that this Improper New evidence from Ex. 2023 is being used
`
`to support its Improper New Obviousness Theory. See Canon’s Reply, p. 11.
`
`Including as noted in Section A above and in MTS, §III.A, Canon’s new
`
`obviousness theory, and the evidence offered by Canon in support thereof, is an
`
`Improper New Matter that went beyond the proper scope of Canon’s Reply and
`
`proper Reply evidence. The evidence cited within Slides 63-69 is clearly being
`
`offered in support of this Improper New obviousness theory, as is evident from the
`
`references in each slide to portion of Canon’s Reply in which it advances the theory.
`
`C. Objections to Slides 70-72 and 75-80
`
`Cellspin objects to Petitioners Slides 70-72 and 75-80 including because the
`
`purported evidence therein for “Establishing a paired wireless connection …
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`cryptographically authenticating” constitutes Improper New Matters relative to
`
`Canon’s Improper New Reply theory concerning cryptographic authenticating being
`
`obvious based upon matters and language set forth in the Bluetooth standard or other
`
`new Reply exhibits relied upon by Canon, for new reasons first articulated in
`
`Canon’s Reply, including cryptographic authentication being a feature of Bluetooth
`
`association models, encouragement, design choice, expectedness, routineness,
`
`safeness and/or predictable results. See Cellspin’s MTS, §III.C. As noted in
`
`Cellspin’s MTS, §III.C, Canon’s original theory in its Petition was that
`
`“cryptographically authenticating” was obvious because: (1) “Cryptographic
`
`authentication between wireless devices like a digital camera and cellular phone was
`
`routine at the time of the invention. Id.; Ex. 1017,3 91-92; Ex. 1019, [0055]; Ex.
`
`1020, [0019];” (2) “cryptographic authentication was part of the Bluetooth standard;
`
`and (3) “motivation for using cryptographic authentication: to ensure that …
`
`information is protected from outsiders … Ex. 1003 ¶¶ 99-100, 44-47.” Pet., pp. 24-
`
`25. Belatedly realizing this was untenable, Canon, relying upon Dr. Madisetti,
`
`shifted its obviousness theory and the bases for said theory in its Reply. See, e.g.,
`
`Reply, pp. 6-7; Ex. 1043, §6-7, 10. The purported evidence in Petitioners Slides 70-
`
`72 and 75-81 was not relied upon or cited in Canon’s Petition. Including as noted in
`
`Cellspin’s MTS, §III.C, this new obviousness theory, and the evidence offered by
`
`Canon in support thereof, is an Improper New Matter that went beyond the proper
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`
`scope of Canon’s Reply and proper Reply evidence.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slides 70-72 because the cited/highlighted text
`
`from “Ex. 1017 at 6,” “Ex. 1019 at [0055],” and “Ex. 1020 at [0019]” was not cited
`
`or relied upon in Canon’s Petition or in Canon’s Reply, and because it is being cited
`
`for
`
`the
`
`foregoing
`
`Improper New
`
`theory/argument/position/assertion
`
`for
`
`cryptographic authentication being obvious, which goes far beyond Canon’s Petition
`
`theory and basis for such obviousness. Canon’s Petition merely cited exhibits 1017,
`
`1019 and 1020 for the general proposition that “Cryptographic authentication
`
`between wireless devices like a digital camera and cellular phone was routine at the
`
`time of the invention.” Petition, p. 24. None of the highlighted text at Slides 70-71
`
`was mentioned directly or indirectly in Canon’s Petition. Further, Exhibits 1017,
`
`1019 and 1020 is not cited at all in Canon’s Reply. For this reason alone these
`
`demonstratives should be stricken or excluded. See Dell, 884 F.3d at 1369; PTAB
`
`Guide, p. 84. The highlighted text in slide 70-72 from “Ex. 1017 at 6, Ex. 1019 at
`
`[0055] and Ex. 1020 at [0019] has no bearing to Canon’s Petition theory that
`
`“Cryptographic authentication between wireless devices like a digital camera and
`
`cellular phone was routine at the time of the invention”; rather, it is now being cited
`
`in for the first time in Canon’s Demonstratives to assert Improper New Matters.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slides 75, 77-78 and 80 because the cited text from
`
`the Foley Deposition at Ex. 1040 is an improper attempt by Canon to assert Improper
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`New Matters, namely its new theories and bases for cryptographic authentication
`
`being obvious, which goes far beyond Canon’s Petition theory and basis for such
`
`obviousness, by slipping it in during Dr. Foley’s deposition, when Canon was
`
`supposed to be asking Dr. Foley about his opinions in Ex. 2009, not posing questions
`
`to get sound bites for new obviousness theories that Canon had formulated post-
`
`Petition. See Cellspin’s MTS, §III.C. This evidence and indeed Canon’s new Reply
`
`theories for obviousness for “cryptographically authenticating” were not relied upon
`
`in Canon’s Petition. Despite the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it is clear
`
`from Canon’s Reply that this Improper New evidence from Ex. 1040 is being used
`
`to support its Improper New Obviousness Theory. See Canon’s Reply, pp. 15-16.
`
`Including as noted in Cellspin’s MTS, this new obviousness theory and basis for
`
`obviousness, and the evidence offered by Canon in support thereof, is an Improper
`
`New Matter that went beyond the proper scope of Canon’s Reply and proper Reply
`
`evidence.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slide 75 because the cited text from “Ex. 1039 at
`
`18” was not relied upon in Canon’s Petition, and because it is being cited for the
`
`foregoing Improper New theory/argument/position/assertion for cryptographic
`
`authentication being obvious, which goes far beyond Canon’s Petition theory and
`
`basis for such obviousness. Canon’s Slide 75 correctly notes that the only time that
`
`Ex. 1039 at 18 has been cited was in Canon’s Reply and when Dr. Madisetti slipped
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`it in during his deposition with a non-responsive answer. Canon’s Petition did not
`
`rely at all on Security Mode 4 from the Bluetooth Specification; rather, Security
`
`Mode 4 and its details were cited in Canon’s Reply for the foregoing Improper New
`
`theory/argument/ position/assertion. Despite the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s
`
`slides, it is clear from Canon’s Reply that this Improper New evidence from Ex.
`
`1039 is being used to support its Improper New Obviousness Theory. See Canon’s
`
`Reply, p. 15.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slide 79 because the cited text from “Ex. 1036 at
`
`9” was not relied upon in Canon’s Petition, and because it is being cited for the
`
`foregoing Improper New theory/argument/position/ assertion for cryptographic
`
`authentication being obvious, which goes far beyond Canon’s Petition theory and
`
`basis for such obviousness. Despite the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it
`
`is clear from Canon’s Reply that this Improper New evidence from Ex. 1036 is being
`
`used to support its Improper New obviousness theory. See Canon’s Reply, p. 16.
`
`Including as noted above and in MTS, §III.C, Canon’s new obviousness
`
`theories and bases for cryptographically authenticating being obvious, and the
`
`evidence offered by Canon in support thereof, are Improper New Matters that went
`
`beyond the proper scope of Canon’s Reply and proper Reply evidence. The evidence
`
`cited within Slides 70-72 and 75-80 is clearly being offered in support of these
`
`Improper New obviousness theories and bases, as is evident from the references in
`

`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`each slide to portion of Canon’s Reply in which it advances same.
`
`D. Objections to Slides 81-83
`
`Cellspin objects to Petitioners Slides 81-83 including because the purported
`
`evidence therein for “Establishing a paired wireless connection … cryptographically
`
`authenticating” constitutes Improper New Matters relative to Canon’s Improper
`
`New Reply theory concerning cryptographic authentication being a “mandatory”
`
`feature, including under Security Mode 3 of the Bluetooth Standard. See MTS,
`
`§III.E. As noted in Section C above, Canon’s original theory in its Petition was that
`
`“cryptographically authenticating” was obvious because: (1) “Cryptographic
`
`authentication between wireless devices like a digital camera and cellular phone was
`
`routine at the time of the invention. Id.; Ex. 1017,3 91-92; Ex. 1019, [0055]; Ex.
`
`1020, [0019];” (2) “cryptographic authentication was part of the Bluetooth standard;
`
`and (3) “motivation for using cryptographic authentication: to ensure that …
`
`information is protected from outsiders … Ex. 1003 ¶¶ 99-100, 44-47.” Pet., pp. 24-
`
`25. The purported evidence in Slides 81-83 for “Establishing a paired wireless
`
`connection … cryptographically authenticating,” which is really only pertinent to
`
`cryptographically authenticating, namely Ex. 1039 at 16, Ex. 1042 at 31:1-32:9 and
`
`Ex. 1040 at 25:6-12, was not relied upon or cited in Canon’s Petition, nor did
`
`Canon’s Petition assert that cryptographic authentication was mandatory. Despite
`
`the ambiguity of the titles to Canon’s slides, it is clear from Canon’s Reply that this
`
`
`
`11
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`Improper New evidence cited in these slides is being used to support this Improper
`
`New Obviousness Theory. See Canon’s Reply, p. 17.
`
`Cellspin further objects to Slide 82 because the cited text from the Madisetti
`
`Deposition at Ex. 1042 is an improper attempt by Canon and Dr. Madisetti to assert
`
`Improper New Matters, namely an Improper New theory that “cryptographic
`
`authentication” is allegedly “mandated,” by slipping it in during Dr. Madisetti’s
`
`deposition in a non-response to a question, when Dr. Madisetti was supposed to be
`
`testifying about the opinions in his Declaration at Ex. 1003, not new opinions that
`
`he had formed after his Declaration and after Canon’s Petition. See MTS, §III.E.
`
`This evidence and indeed such an opinion/theory serving the basis for obviousness
`
`from Dr. Madisetti were not expressed in Dr. Madisetti’s Petition Declaration, Ex.
`
`1003, nor were they stated or relied upon in Canon’s Petition.
`
`Including as noted above and in MTS, §III.E, Canon’s new obviousness
`
`theories and bases for cryptographically authenticating being mandatory, and the
`
`evidence offered by Canon in support thereof, are Improper New Matters that went
`
`beyond the proper scope of Canon’s Reply and proper Reply evidence. The evidence
`
`cited within Slides 80-82 is clearly being offered in support of these Improper New
`
`obviousness theories and bases, as is evident from the references in each slide to
`
`portion of Canon’s Reply in which it advances same.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`E. Objections to Slide 3
`
`IPR2019-00127
`U.S. Pat. No. 9,258,698
`
`Cellspin objects to Petitioner’s Slide 83 including because it attempts to
`
`arguments or introduce evidence, namely from testimony at Ex. 1040 at 25:6-12, not
`
`previously presented in the record. See Dell v. Acceleron, 884 F.3d 1364, 1369 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2018); PTAB Consolidated Trial Practice Guide (“Guide”), p. 84. Canon’s Slide
`
`83 alleges this testimony was cited at p. 17 of Canon’s Reply; however, it was no
`
`cited anywhere in Canon’s Reply (or in Canon’s Petition either). To the extent this
`
`newly asserted evidence is attempting to advance a new obviousness theory for
`
`pairing or new theory or basis for cryptographically authenticating being obvious,
`
`see objections to foregoing slides. To the extent this newly asserted evidence is
`
`attempting to advance new arguments, which appears to be the case, that is clearly
`
`improper, including under the above-noted authorities.
`
`III. Conclusion.
`
`
`
`For the foregoing reasons and also the reasons noted in Cellspin’s Motion to
`
`Strike, the PTAB should strike, or alternatively, exclude, Canon’s improper
`
`demonstratives, which were submitted as a whole, in their entirety. Alternatively,
`
`the PTAB should strike, or alternatively, exclude, individual slides 14-17, 63-69
`
`70-72, 75-80, and 81-83.
