` TELEPHONIC HEARING 7/17/2020
`
`Page 5
` a summary judgment motion that Maxell filed in
` the parallel District Court proceeding involving
` the three patents that are challenged in the
` three IPRs before us.
` Petitioner states in an email that the
` summary judgment motion may impact our analysis
` of Fintiv Factor 4, the potential overlap of
` issues between the District Court litigation and
` IPRs.
` The emails do not specify whether Patent
` Owner opposes the request. In the future, please
` make sure the parties meet and confer before
` contacting us with any requests. And also you
` should specify in the email whether the other
` party opposes the request.
` Let's start with Petitioner. Please
` explain briefly why you believe there's good
` cause for the requested briefing. And in
` particular we'd like to hear the subject of the
` summary judgment motion and why it's relevant to
` our Fintiv analysis.
` MR. SEITZ: Yes, your Honor. This
` is Adam Seitz on behalf of Petitioner. Thank you.
` Your Honor, in the summary judgment
` argument submitted to the District Court, Maxell
`
`Page 6
` challenges the invalidity case against the three
` patents that are subject to the IPRs that we are
` here discussing.
` And we believe it is relevant to your
` Honor's proceeding specifically in the Fintiv
` analysis regarding the alleged overlap with the
` District Court. In its sur-reply that was
` granted to Maxell to discuss the Fintiv factors,
` Maxell argued that there was overlap between
` these proceedings at the PTAB and the District
` Court and that the same issues would be decided,
` and that under Fintiv that was an independent
` grounds for denial, raising the questions of
` whether there would be inconsistent rulings, et
` cetera.
` The summary judgment motion itself that
` Maxell has filed challenges the reference Abowd,
` A-b-o-w-d, and its public availability. That is
` one of the issues that the parties have briefed
` here as well. The question of Abowd and its
` public availability was the subject of additional
` briefing in the reply and the sur-reply in these
` petitions or in these matters as well.
` One of the most fundamental -- there's two
` things I want to point out here, your Honor.

`
`Page 7
` First, probably the most fundamental thing,
` Maxell bases its summary judgment motion to the
` District Court on the fundamental premise that
` the Abowd article, the question of whether it is
` publicly available, whether Apple has proved that
` it's publicly available at the District Court, is
` one of clear and convincing, a standard that is
` one of the highest if not the highest at the
` civil level for District Courts. They say that
` Apple has failed to show clear and convincing
` evidence.
` The board, however, applies a different
` standard. Under the board's precedential
` decision in Hulu, the board examines whether
` Petitioner has shown a reasonable likelihood that
` the reference, here Abowd, was publicly
` accessible and a reasonable likelihood of whether
` the reference qualifies as a printed publication.
` So looping back to the question of
` overlap, there is no scenario where there will be
` inconsistent positions here. The District Court
` could find on the highest burden of proof, that
` clear and convincing evidence, that Apple made a
` very strong showing but failed to meet the clear
` and convincing standard. The board could find
`
`Page 8
` that very same evidence meets a reasonable
` likelihood standard.
` That is not an inconsistency such of the
` type that Fintiv is looking at. That's applying
` a different standard that Congress expressly
` authorized as a difference between IPRs and the
` District Court.
` And secondarily, your Honor, the reason
` that it's important to you is the summary
` judgment argument rests on challenging Abowd as
` it relates to the "do not circulate" stamp. That
` also was subject of additional briefing and the
` introduction of additional evidence by Petitioner
` in the reply and sur-reply.
` Maxell argues to the District Court that
` the "do not circulate" stamp means that the
` reference Abowd was not available to the public.
` This is on page seven of its summary judgment
` brief. They further argue that the "do not
` circulate" warning indicates that the reference
` was not meant to be disseminated to the public,
` and the Court, if it makes a ruling, will do so
` based on that false premise and an incomplete
` record from that which the board has.
` Very specifically, your Honor, in this

`

` TELEPHONIC HEARING 7/17/2020
`
`Page 9
` proceeding Apple submitted, along with its reply,
` a supplemental declaration from Mr. Mumford, our
` librarian expert, showing the arguments made
` regarding the "do not circulate" are incorrect;
` that it was accessible to the public. Thus the
` board has different evidence in front of it than
` the District Court and a different standard,
` reasonable likelihood, rather than clear and
` convincing, than those being examined by the
` District Court.
` But if Maxell is successful in its
` arguments to the board that the same issues will
` be decided, the board will deny institution. If
` it's successful convincing the jury or the Judge
` to prevent this issue from going to the jury,
` then Maxell will have its cake and eat it, too.
` No tribunal or trier of fact in that
` situation will look at the key evidence on why
` Abowd was publicly available under the standards
` before your Honors, and no tribunal will examine
` the merits of whether the patents are invalid
` under the teachings of Hayashida and Abowd as
` we've put forward in our petition.
` So, your Honor, I thought those were
` significantly important as they impact the Fintiv
`
`Page 10
` analysis such that we would like to bring that
` before you.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Let me
` understand that last part of your argument,
` counsel.
` So you're saying if we denied using our
` discretion under 314 applying the Fintiv factors
` and then in the District Court, the District
` Court granted Maxell's summary judgment motion,
` then at that point isn't the District Court
` saying that Maxell has shown by clear and
` convincing evidence that the Abowd reference is
` not publicly available prior art?
` MR. SEITZ: That is correct, your
` Honor, again based on a different standard. And
` it would avoid a fundamental question of the
` merits of whether Abowd and Hayashida, the
` reference before your Honors in our petition, do
` actually disclose the limitations in the claims.
` But yes, your recitation was correct.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Okay. Let's
` hear from Patent Owner. First of all, do you
` oppose the request? Because we didn't get that
` information.
` MR. PLUTA: Thank you, your Honor.

` Yeah, we responded to the board with an email.
` Hopefully the board received that email.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Apparently we
` did not get that email. I'm sorry for that.
` MR. PLUTA: Okay, well, if the
` board will indulge me, I'll summarize it in my
` response.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Thank you.
` MR. PLUTA: So we do oppose their
` request. We think there has been enough briefing
` on the Fintiv issue for the board to make an
` informed decision. However, to the extent the
` board is considering Apple's request, we'd like to
` put some things into context.
` Apple's request actually highlights why
` the board should utilize its discretion under
` Section 314 and Fintiv to deny institution in
` these proceedings.
` On June 30th, the parties in the
` underlying District Court action filed 16 motions
` across the ten patents at issue there. At least
` three of those motions filed were directed to the
` validity of the patents at issue here in these
` proceedings. Maxell filed two motions and Apple
` filed a motion directed to these patents as well.
`
`Page 12
`
` These motions were filed long after
` completion of fact discovery and after completion
` of expert discovery where both Apple's and
` Maxell's experts were deposed on the patents at
` issue in these proceedings. A hearing on those
` motions is scheduled for September 15th, which is
` about a month prior to trial in the District
` Court action and 11 months before any final
` written decision would be due in these
` proceedings.
` There are several features of both
` Maxell's motion and Apple's motion that the
` substantial overlap of issues and why if the
` board institutes the parties, then the board will
` have a heavy duplication of that effort.
` For example, as Mr. Seitz alluded to, the
` issue of whether the Abowd publication is prior
` art is the same here as it is in the District
` Court. Maxell's motion seeks a summary judgment
` ruling that the Abowd publication is not prior
` art, just as the arguments made here before the
` board. The basis for that intention is the same
` as it is here.
` And importantly, Apple's evidence to show
` that the publication is prior art is precisely

` TELEPHONIC HEARING 7/17/2020
`
`Page 13
` the same. In fact, Apple has set forth a nearly
` identical declaration from the librarian,
` Mr. Mumford, in the District Court as it has in
` these proceedings. And Mr. Maxell has already
` taken Mr. Mumford's deposition.
` To Mr. Seitz's points or arguments that
` there's a supplemental declaration here from
` Mr. Mumford whereas that supplemental declaration
` doesn't exist in the District Court, that
` argument should have no merit because Apple could
` certainly have, A, gotten that information in
` during the deposition of Mr. Mumford, or simply
` filed a supplemental declaration from Mr. Mumford
` in the District Court. You may even still have
` the opportunity to do so.
` So the fact that there's different
` evidence here is kind of a misnomer. In Apple's
` Motion for Summary Judgment, it seeks invalidity
` of the patents based on Section 101, but
` importantly it support its motion arguing that
` Hayashida, the same reference as used in the
` petition, is known art. And to illustrate this
` Apple relies on many of the same references from
` Hayashida as it does in the petition.
` So Apple's concern -- and that's putting
`
`Page 14
` aside even the 103 arguments that overlap between
` the two proceedings. So Apple's concern that the
` summary judgment motions present a risk of Maxell
` convincing both forums to forego looking at
` invalidity is incorrect. The District Court will
` look at invalidity and look at it first prior to
` the board, nearly a year prior to the board,
` which goes to the very heart of why the board
` found Fintiv precedential.
` The substantial overlap of issues favors
` denial here. Well before the final written
` decision, the Court will either grant summary
` judgment in Maxell's or Apple's favor or a jury
` will decide the issues surrounding the validity
` of the patent.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Thank you,
` counsel. Petitioner, I'll give you a brief
` rebuttal.
` MR. SEITZ: Thank you, your Honor.
` I want to start with responding to Mr. Pluta.
` This is Mr. Seitz responding by clarifying one
` thing Mr. Pluta said and also going back to your
` question, Judge Pettigrew, because I think there's
` a fundamental point that I don't want to get lost
` in a mess here.

`
`Page 15
` The District Court's ruling on summary
` judgment will not be whether the reference Abowd
` is prior art. The summary judgment challenges
` whether Apple has submitted sufficient evidence
` to meet the clear and convincing standard.
` So the ruling that would come out of the
` District Court would be a question of whether the
` evidence before the District Court is sufficient
` to meet the clear and convincing standard. The
` reason I want to clarify that is because you the
` board have a different standard, reasonable
` likelihood, and you the board have different
` evidence.
` Now, Mr. Pluta seemed to brush that under
` the table, and perhaps Apple does -- I'm not
` litigation counsel -- perhaps they do clarify the
` record. Maxell did not make any reference to the
` additional evidence from the IPR and inform the
` District Court about that. Perhaps Apple will.
` But the point is you have different
` evidence and a different standard available to
` you to find whether on a reasonable likelihood
` standard Abowd is publicly available. The
` Court's ruling will not be inconsistent with
` yours because it's one of whether Apple has met
`
`Page 16
` its evidentiary standard under the clear and
` convincing standard.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: All right, thank
` you, counsel. Patent Owner, I'll give you one
` last word if there's anything else you want to
` say.
` We can't hear you.
` MR. PLUTA: I'm sorry, your Honor,
` I was on mute. The perils of doing this call from
` my cell phone in the work-at-home environment. I
` apologize.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Understood.
` MR. PLUTA: I will keep it very
` brief then.
` It's not incumbent upon Maxell to
` supplement the District Court record to match the
` evidence that Apple submitted in this proceeding.
` That's Apple's job.
` But as you pointed out, your Honor, in
` response to Mr. Seitz's arguments, I mean the
` burden is on us and in the District Court. So if
` we meet that burden and summary judgment is
` granted, the judge in the District Court will
` address the invalidity issues of the patents.
` And if we do not meet that burden and the case

` JUDGE PETTIGREW: All right.
` Thank you, counsel. I'm going to put everybody on
` hold for a short period of time while I confer
` with my colleagues.
` (Off the record.)
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: The panel is
` back on the call. We're going to take this matter
` under advisement.
` Petitioner, you arranged for the court
` reporter. We would like to have the transcript
` of this call filed as soon as possible.
` MR. SEITZ: Yes. Will do, your
` Honor. I'll file -- there was a similar
` proceeding between the parties where we had a
` discussion like this on Monday, and they asked me,
` IPR 2020-202, they asked me to submit the rough
` transcript immediate after the call and then the
` final when it was done. Would you like me to
` proceed the same here?
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Yes, we would
` like that, thank you.
` MR. PLUTA: This is Robert. Could
` you make one point? I just want wanted to clarify
` to the extent the board does allow further
`
`Page 18
` submissions in addition to what Apple requested to
` be submitted, we would also then request to
` complete the record and submit the other motions,
` the relevant motions.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: And what are the
` relevant motions?
` MR. PLUTA: Apple's Motion for
` Summary Judgment as well that further highlights
` the substantial overlap of the Hayashida
` reference.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Okay.
` MR. SEITZ: Your Honor, may I ask
` a brief clarification on that? This is Mr. Seitz.
` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Yes. Go ahead,
` counsel.
` MR. SEITZ: The only other motion
` I'm aware of to which he could be referring is a
` 101 motion, and I'm wondering if that's it.
` There's only a passing reference to the Hayashida
` in saying that people have been doing navigation
` on devices like this for years.
` If that's what he's referring to, I guess
` I'm just wondering if perhaps there's another
` motion that he's referring to that I'm unaware
` of.

` JUDGE PETTIGREW: Mr. Pluta, can
` you clarify? Is it the 101 summary judgment
` motion?
` MR. PLUTA: Yes, your Honor, that
` is the motion. However, I disagree with
` Mr. Seitz's characterization of the passing
` reference.
` There are six or seven references to the
` Hayashida reference including about seven
