`claim is interpreted under the standard of
`ordinary and customary meaning of the
`claim as understood by one of ordinary skill
`in the art . . .”

`not so in the context of claim 1.”
`

`access by the stations working in
`accordance with the second radio interface
`standard in response to the condition being
`fulfilled that stations working in accordance

`Uniloc’s characterization of the file history is inaccurate
`
`Uniloc’s Argument 5
`“The prosecution history is clear that this
`recitation [of the wherein clause], formerly
`in dependent claim 2, was added to claim 1
`in order to secure allowance of claim 1.”
`
`Microsoft Decision
`“[T]he Examiner allowed application claim 2 (Ex.
`1002, 28) which includes the limitation at issue
`… and the Applicant rewrote application claim 2
`in independent form as claim 1. That does not
`show disavowal of anything by the Applicant,
`much less conversion of a conditional step to a
`non-conditional step or effective deletion of the
`word ‘if.’”

`Uniloc improperly raises a new argument in its Sur-Reply
`
`Uniloc’s Argument 7
`“There can be no question that claim 1
`affirmatively recites ‘a control station which
`controls the alternate use of the frequency
`band.’ The ‘wherein’ clause simply defines
`how this affirmatively recited control is to
`be effected ...”

`“[P]arties are not permitted to raise new
`arguments at oral hearing.”
`
`Regardless, “[a]ll physical steps necessarily
`are performed by one or more structural

`limitation, resulting in a lack of distinction
`therebetween and confusion of claim

`
`Uniloc takes Sherman’s teachings out of context
`
`Uniloc’s POR
`“Sherman explicitly states that a disadvantage of the
`arrangement disclosed in Figure 3 is that the ‘802.11
`STA would view the HIPERLAN phase as a part of the
`802.11 Contention Period (CP), and would normally
`be free to transmit during the CP.’ Ex. 1004, 3:53-56.”
`
`•
`
`•
`
`The Real Story
`The Petition does not rely on Figure 3, which
`shows how the “PRIOR ART” (before Sherman)
`lacked a mechanism to end the 802.11 phase and
`begin a HIPERLAN/2 phase.
`Sherman teaches that mobile terminals may be
`hidden from each other and attempt to transmit
`at the same time—the AP is not a hidden
`terminal.

`
`It would be improper to require proof that HIPERLAN/2 dummy signals
`are superior to 802.11 dummy signals
`
`“‘[O]ur case law does not require that a particular combination must be
`the preferred, or the most desirable, combination described in the prior

`
`
`
`Rebuttal to Uniloc’s Seven Arguments
`
`• Shellhammer never mentions an “expected” completion of message transmission
`• Uniloc offers no evidence to believe this alternative is possible
`•
`It would be improper to require proof that a POSITA would have selected the prior art
`combination over other alternatives in the prior art

`
`
`Rebuttal to Uniloc’s Seven Arguments
`
`• Uniloc’s hypothetical is
`contradicted by Shellhammer,
`which states the opposite.
`• The AP sends the global CTS signal,
`which stops 802.11
`communications.

`Rebuttal to Uniloc’s Seven Arguments
`
`• Shellhammer teaches variable-

`• Uniloc applies the wrong legal
`standard—for obviousness,
`teachings do not have to be
`required or inherent.

`
`
`Rebuttal to Uniloc’s Seven Arguments
`
`Dr. Roy:
`
`• “Starting the Bluetooth interval earlier [] allows Bluetooth stations to
`transmit for a longer period and transfer more data within the fixed
`beacon time period.”
`• Using idle bandwidth is more efficient than wasting it.

`
`• CAM is not required for the instituted
`grounds.
`• Dr. Roy explained the motivation to
`not use CAM.
`• Shellhammer teaches using 802.11
`PSP and Bluetooth without CAM.

`
`
`Rebuttal to Uniloc’s Seven Arguments
`
`• Uniloc attempts to read an “only” limitation into claim 1, which recites no such
`language.
`• The claim says nothing about what happens if 802.11 PSP stations do request access. It
`neither requires nor prohibits any steps in that condition.

`
`
`
`The ’676 patent provides scant written description and relies on a POSITA’s
`knowledge for limitation 7[d]
`
`“The specification of the [patent-at-issue] is entirely silent on how to
`transmit user locations and maps from a server to a user’s mobile device,
`suggesting that a person of ordinary skill in the art was more than capable
`of selecting between the known methods of accomplishing this.”
`Uber Techn., Inc. v. X One, Inc., 957 F.3d 1334, 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2020).
`
`“[T]he Board’s observation that appellant did not provide the type of detail
`in his specification that he now argues is necessary in prior art references
`supports the Board’s finding that one skilled in the art would have known
`how to implement the features of the references and would have
`concluded that the reference disclosures would have been enabling.”
