`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Maxell moves for summary judgment of no invalidity of the asserted claims of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 10,212,586 (Ex. 1,1 “the ’586 Patent”) because Apple’s only prior art reference relied
`
`on fails to disclose the “memory” limitations in the asserted claims. Under these circumstances,
`
`Apple cannot meet its steep burden of proving invalidity at trial, and summary judgment of no
`
`invalidity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103 is warranted.
`
`II.
`
`LEGAL STANDARD
`
`A.
`
`Summary Judgment
`
`Summary judgment shall be rendered when there is no genuine issue as to any material
`
`fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c);
`
`Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-25 (1986); Ragas v. Tenn. Gas Pipeline Co., 136
`
`F.3d 455, 458 (5th Cir. 1998). If the moving party has made an initial showing that there is no
`
`evidence to support the nonmoving party’s case, the party opposing the motion must assert
`
`competent summary judgment evidence of the existence of a genuine fact issue. Matsushita Elec.
`
`Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586 (1986); ThinkOptics, Inc. v. Nintendo of
`
`Am., Inc., No. 6:11-cv-455, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91036, at *5 (E.D. Tex. July 3, 2014). Mere
`
`conclusory allegations, unsubstantiated assertions, improbable inferences, and unsupported
`
`speculation are not competent summary judgment evidence. See Eason v. Thaler, 73 F.3d 1322,
`
`1325 (5th Cir. 1996); Forsyth v. Barr, 19 F.3d 1527, 1533 (5th Cir. 1994). Summary judgment
`
`must be granted if the nonmoving party fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the
`
`existence of an element essential to its case and on which it will bear the burden of proof at trial.
`
`Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322-23.

`
`
`
`B.
`
`Invalidity
`
`An issued patent enjoys a presumption of validity. See 35 U.S.C. § 282. This presumption
`
`places the burden on the challenging party to prove the patent’s invalidity by clear and
`
`convincing evidence. Microsoft Corp. v. i4i Limited Partnership, 131 S. Ct. 2238, 2242 (2011).
`
`“[A] moving party seeking to have a patent held not invalid at summary judgment must show
`
`that the nonmoving party, who bears the burden of proof at trial, failed to produce clear and
`
`convincing evidence on an essential element of a defense upon which a reasonable jury could
`
`invalidate the patent.” Eli Lilly and Co. v. Barr Labs., Inc., 251 F.3d 955, 962 (Fed. Cir. 2001).
`
`A patent is invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) only “if the differences between the subject
`
`matter sought to be patented and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would
`
`have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art
`
`(POSITA) to which said subject matter pertains.” “Obviousness is a legal question based on the
`
`following underlying factual inquiries: (1) the scope and content of the prior art; (2) the level of
`
`ordinary skill in the art; (3) the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art; and
`
`(4) secondary evidence of nonobviousness.” Ivera Med. Corp. v. Hospira, Inc., 801 F.3d 1336,
`
`1344 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (citing Graham v. John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1, 17-18 (1966)).
`
`Where no reference in a proposed combination of prior art teaches a particular claim
`
`limitation, the invention is not obvious in view of that combination. Smith & Nephew, Inc. v.
`
`Arthrex, Inc., 355 Fed. App’x. 384, 389 (Fed. Cir. 2009). District courts have routinely found no
`
`question of fact and granted motions for summary judgment of no invalidity where defendants
`
`presented insufficient evidence to establish invalidity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103. See, e.g.,
`
`ThinkOptics, Inc. v. Nintendo of Am., Inc., No. 6:11-cv-455, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 91036, at
`
`*14 (E.D. Tex. July 3, 2014) (granting summary judgment of no invalidity because defendants
`
`failed to show the prior art system disclosed every element of the claimed invention); Balivi

`
`III.
`
`STATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED FACTS
`
`
`
`The following facts are undisputed:
`
`1.
`
`Claim 1 of the ’586 Patent recites in relevant part: 1[b] “a memory which
`
`previously stores information about an another mobile terminal.”
`
`2.
`
`Claim
`
`16
`
`of
`
`the
`
`’586 Patent
`
`recites
`
`in
`
`relevant
`
`part:
`
`16[b]
`
`“wherein the first mobile terminal comprises … a memory which previously stores information
`
`about the second mobile terminal.”
`
`3.
`
`Dr. Menascé’s Opening Expert Report Regarding U.S. Patent Nos. 7,116,438 and
`
`10,212,586 (Ex. 22 or “Menascé ’438/’586 Rpt.”) does not show how U.S. Patent No. 6,871,063
`
`(Ex. 3, “Schiffer”) discloses “a memory which previously stores information about an another
`
`mobile terminal” limitation (1[b]) in claim 1.
`
`4.
`
`The Menascé ’438/’586 Rpt. does not offer an opinion that U.S. Patent
`
`Application Publication No. 2006/0041746 (Ex. 4, “Kirkup”) dislcoses “a memory which
`
`previously stores information about an another mobile terminal” limitation (1[b]) in claim 1.
`
`5.
`
`The Menascé ’438/’586 Rpt. does not show how Schiffer discloses the “wherein
`
`the first mobile terminal comprises … a memory which previously stores information about the
`
`second mobile terminal” limitation (16[b]) in claim 16.
`
`
`2 Ex. 2 includes both Dr. Menascé’s Report and the accompanying appendix, Appendix D,
`related to the ’586 Patent.

`
`The Menascé ’438/’586 Rpt. does not offer an opinion that Kirkup discloses the
`
`“wherein the first mobile terminal comprises … a memory which previously stores information
`
`about the second mobile terminal” limitation (16[b]) in claim 16.
`
`IV.
`
`STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES FOR THE COURT TO DECIDE
`
`1.
`
`Whether Apple has failed to establish by clear and convincing evidence that the
`
`Schiffer reference relied on by Dr. Menascé discloses the “memory” limitations (1[b] and
`
`16[b])?
`
`V.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`Apple’s expert, Dr. Menascé, offers two invalidity opinions concerning the ’586 Patent:
`
`(1) the asserted claims (claims 7, 16, and 17) are anticipated pursuant to § 102 in view of
`
`Schiffer and (2) the asserted claims are obvious pursuant to § 103 in view of Schiffer alone or in
`
`combination with Kirkup. To substantiate these opinions, Dr. Menascé must show that the
`
`“memory” limitations in independent claims 1 (“element 1[b]”) and 16 (“element 16[b]”)3 are
`
`disclosed in the prior art. Dr. Menascé does not rely on Kirkup as disclosing these limitations.
`
`Thus, the only question is whether Schiffer discloses the “memory” limitations in 1[b] and
`
`16[b]—it does not.
`
`The claims require that the memory is located on an unlocking device (i.e. “a mobile
`
`terminal” in claim 1 and “a first mobile terminal” in claim 16) and the information that is stored
`
`in the memory is information related to a device to be unlocked (“an another mobile terminal” in
`
`claim 1 and “a second mobile terminal” in claim 16). Dr. Menascé agrees with this
`
`straightforward understanding of the claims, as shown in his own summary chart reproduced
`
`below:
`
`
`3 Asserted claim 7 depends from claim 1. Asserted claim 17 depends on asserted claim 16.

`
`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 375 Filed 07/02/20 Page 9 of 15 PageID #: 17212
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex. 2, App. D at 2. Dr. Menascé unambiguously states that “claim 1 is written to cover aspects
`
`of Mobile Terminal 1 in the table above” and defines mobile terminal 1 in Schiffer as “mobile
`
`phone 100.” Id. With respect to Mobile Terminal 2, the unlocked device, Dr. Menascé relies on
`
`the “computer system 110.” See generally id. at 7-11.
`
`
`
`Dr. Menascé begins by stating that Schiffer discloses that “mobile phone 100 includes
`
`‘SIM 101’ (see FIG. 1, supra), which includes a ‘protected memory region having data stored
`
`therein’”. See Ex. 2, App. D at 7-8 (citing to Ex. 3, 2:38-45 and 2:60-65); see also Ex. 2 at
`
`¶¶227-228. But Schiffer does not disclose that this memory “previously stores information about
`
`an another mobile terminal,” i.e., computer system 110. Rather, SIM 101 only stores or
`
`comprises memory about the mobile terminal in which the memory is included, i.e., mobile
`
`phone 100. See id. As Dr. Menascé recognizes in his report, Schiffer discloses that “[t]he data
`
`stored in the protected memory region of SIM 101 includes the subscriber identity number
`
`associated with the user of mobile phone 100.” Ex. 2, App. D at 8 (citing Ex. 3, 2:38-45)
`
`(emphasis added). Thus, as Dr. Menascé concedes, the subscriber identity number is associated

`
`
`
`with the mobile phone 100 (i.e., “a mobile terminal”), not computer system 110 (i.e., “another
`
`mobile terminal” in Schiffer) as required by the claims.
`
`
`
`In an apparent attempt to rectify this deficiency, Dr. Menascé relies on the “access code”
`
`and, specifically, the “alternate value” of the access code to demonstrate that the SIM 101 on the
`
`mobile phone 100 allegedly stores information about the computer system 110. See Ex. 2, App.
`
`D at 8-11; see also Ex. 2 at ¶¶ 227-228. However, this disclosure does not demonstrate that the
`
`“memory” limitations are met.
`
`
`
`In fact, Dr. Menascé admits that that “access code” in Schiffer, which he refers to as a
`
`“security code”, “is stored on the computer 110” (i.e. the unlocked device) not on the mobile
`
`terminal (i.e. the unlocking device) as required by the claims.
`
`
`
`See Ex. 2, App. D at 10 (citing to Ex. 3, 4:41-52).
`
`By Dr. Menascé’s own admission, Schiffer discloses a “previously stored value” in
`
`memory 113 of computer system 110. This “previously stored value” in the memory of computer
`
`system 110 does not meet the claim limitation of “a memory which previously stores information
`
`about an another mobile terminal,” because this value would need to be stored in the memory of
`
`mobile phone 100. Dr. Menascé’s opinions themselves make clear that the “security code” is
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Case 5:19-cv-00036-RWS Document 375 Filed 07/02/20 Page 11 of 15 PageID #: 17214
`
`
`
`stored on the computer 110, but then he concludes that somehow this storing of information on
`
`computer system 110 shows that “mobile phone 100 stores ‘information about’ computer system
`
`110 in its memory.” See Ex. 2, App. D at 10. The fact that “security code” is stored on the
`
`computer 110 has no bearing on information stored in the memory of mobile phone 100 of
`
`Schiffer.
`
`Dr. Menascé does not point to any disclosure in Schiffer that demonstrates by clear and
`
`convincing evidence that the “security code” is “information about” the computer system 110
`
`(i.e., “another mobile terminal”) that is stored on the memory of the mobile phone 100 (i.e., “a
`
`mobile terminal”). Rather, Schiffer’s disclosure points to the opposite conclusion—that the
`
`information stored on the mobile phone 100 that is transmitted to the computer system 110
`
`comprises information about the mobile phone 100 and not the computer system 110. See Ex. 2,
`
`App. D at 7-9. And Dr. Menascé has just provided conclusory opinions while pointing to data
`
`stored in the memory of computer system 110 or to an access code being sent from mobile phone
`
`100 that is information about the mobile phone 100 itself not about computer system 110.
`
`Moreover, Dr. Menascé does not provide any separate obviousness arguments as to the
`
`“memory” limitation for claim 1. See Ex. 2, App. D at 7-11. The only reference to what a
`
`“POSITA would have understood” is in relation to claiming that “computer system 110” is a
`
`mobile terminal—nothing related to the lack of disclosure of the memory limitation. See id. at
`
`11. Nor does Dr. Menascé provide any opinions regarding whether or how a POSITA would
`
`modify Schiffer to disclose the absent “memory” limitation in claim 1. See id.
`
`As previously noted, Dr. Menascé does not rely on Kirkup to teach the missing
`
`“memory” limitation in Schiffer for claim element 1[b]. Thus, any combination of Schiffer and
`
`Kirkup fail for the same reasons as discussed for Schiffer alone. See Ex. 2, App. D at 7-11.

`
`
`
`
`Similarly, Dr. Menascé does not provide any additional opinions as to Schiffer
`
`anticipating or rendering obvious the “memory” limitation of claim element 16[b] other than
`
`referring back to his opinions for claim 1. See Ex. 2, App. D at 45 (“Schiffer discloses the
`
`claimed memory that stores information about the second terminal. See element [1(b)], supra.”).
`
`Thus, just as Schiffer fails to teach the “memory” limitation for claim element 1[b], Dr.
`
`Menascé’s sole reliance on Schiffer for element 16[b] equally fails.
`
`In sum, Schiffer does not expressly or inherently disclose the “memory” limitations, and
`
`Dr. Menascé does not provide any motivation to combine Schiffer with another reference in an
`
`attempt to remedy this fatal deficiency.
`
`VI. CONCLUSION
`
`
`
`For at least the foregoing reasons, summary judgment should be granted dismissing
`
`Apple’s defenses and counterclaims of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103 of Claims 7,
`
`16, and 17 of the ’586 Patent.
