`MARSHALL DIVISION
`
`
`
`
`
`Civil Action No. 2:19-cv-286-JRG
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD. and

`Defendants.
`
`
`
`
`
`JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
`
`
`
`DEFENDANTS’ P.R. 3-3 INVALIDITY CONTENTIONS
`
`Pursuant to the Docket Control Order in this case (Dkt. 29) and Local Patent Rule 3-3,
`
`Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SEC”) and Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
`
`(“SEA”) (collectively, “Samsung” or “Defendants”) hereby provide their invalidity contentions
`
`to Plaintiff Bell Northern Research, LLC (“Plaintiff” or “BNR”) in support of Samsung’s
`
`allegations of invalidity of United States Patent Nos. 7,319,889 (“the ’889 patent”); 8,204,554
`
`(“the ’554 patent”); 8,416,862 (“the ’862 Patent”); 7,957,450 (“the ’450 Patent”); 8,792,432
`
`(“the ’432 Patent”); 7,039,435 (“the ’435 Patent”); 6,549,792 (“the ’792 Patent”); and 7,945,285
`
`(“the ’285 Patent”) (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”).
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`As disclosed in its respective P. R. 3-1 Infringement Contentions served on Defendants,
`
`Plaintiff asserts the following patents and claims:
`
`
`
`1
`
`Bell Northern Research, LLC, Exhibit 2010, Page 1 of 256
`
`

`

`Bell Northern Research, LLC, Exhibit 2010, Page 2 of 256
`
`

`

`such newly asserted claims.
`
`These Invalidity Contentions are based on Defendants’ current understanding of the
`
`Asserted Claims and Plaintiff’s apparent view of the scope of those claims as shown, for
`
`example, in Plaintiff’s Infringement Contentions. A Markman Order in this case has not yet been
`
`issued, and in no way shall these Invalidity Contentions be taken as any admission or
`
`acquiescence by Defendants as to the proper scope of the Asserted Claims and/or proper claim
`
`constructions of terms and phrases recited in those claims. By identifying prior art that
`
`anticipates and/or renders obvious the Asserted Claims, Defendants do not admit that the claim
`
`limitations are capable of construction, do not admit that any claim limitations are supported
`
`with an appropriate written description and enabling disclosure in the applicable patent
`
`specifications, and do not adopt Plaintiff’s apparent claim constructions or admit the accuracy of
`
`any particular claim construction.3 Defendants reserve all rights to later challenge or oppose any
`
`claim constructions advanced by Plaintiff and to present their own claim construction positions.
`
`Defendants further reserve the right to revise these Invalidity Contentions in view of the
`
`Court’s construction of terms and phrases recited in one or more of the Asserted Claims,
`
`additional information obtained during discovery, additional infringement theories put forth by
`
`Plaintiff during fact and/or expert discovery, any findings as to the priority date(s) of the
`
`Asserted Claims, and/or positions that Plaintiff, its fact witnesses, or its expert witness(es) may
`
`
`
`3 Defendants do not concede that Plaintiff’s constructions are correct, but rather assert the well-
`established principle that whatever infringes a claim if later in time anticipates if earlier in time.
`Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. v. Ben Venue Labs., Inc., 246 F.3d 1368, 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2001). Thus,
`where Plaintiff for purposes of its infringement case alleges that a feature of an accused product
`meets a particular limitation recited in one or more of the Asserted Claims, then that feature,
`should it be found in the prior art, would also cause that limitation to be met for invalidity
`purposes.
`
`
`

`
`Bell Northern Research, LLC, Exhibit 2010, Page 3 of 256
`
`

`

`take concerning claim construction, infringement, and/or invalidity issues.
`
`Defendants further reserve the right to supplement their accompanying P.R. 3-4(b)
`
`document production should they later discover additional prior art documents, information,
`
`testimony, prior art systems and related documentation, and/or software or hardware code,
`
`including but not limited to information provided by third parties after the date of service of
`
`these Invalidity Contentions.
`
`Defendants may further rely on inventor admissions concerning the scope or state of the
`
`prior art relevant to the Asserted Claims, the patent prosecution histories of the Asserted Patents,
`
`related patents and/or patent applications, any deposition or trial testimony of a named inventor
`
`on the Asserted Patents, and the papers filed and any evidence produced or submitted by Plaintiff
`
`in connection with this case or other related litigation. Defendants reserve the right to contend
`
`that one or more of the Asserted Claims are invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102(f) in the event
`
`Defendants obtain evidence that any of the named inventors did not invent the subject matter in
`
`the Asserted Claims with which they are associated on the face of the Asserted Patents.
`
`Prior art not included in these Invalidity Contentions, whether known or not known to
`
`Defendants, may become relevant. In particular, Defendants are currently unaware of the extent,
`
`if any, to which Plaintiff will contend that limitations of the Asserted Claims are not disclosed in
`
`the prior art identified in these Invalidity Contentions. Accordingly, Defendants reserve the right
`
`to identify other references that would disclose the allegedly missing limitation(s) of the claimed
`
`method, device, or system.
`
`The references identified in these Invalidity Contentions, which include the attached
`
`claim charts, may disclose the elements of the Asserted Claims explicitly and/or inherently,
`
`and/or they may be relied upon to show the state of the art in the relevant time frame. References
`
`
`
`4
`
`Bell Northern Research, LLC, Exhibit 2010, Page 4 of 256
`
`

`

`identified in these Invalidity Contentions, as well as the “References Cited” on the faces of the
`
`Asserted Patents and the patents cited within the bodies of the Asserted Patents, may be used to
`
`illustrate, but not limit the scope of, the state of the art to which the Asserted Patents pertain (i.e.,
`
`at a time prior to the date of alleged inventions of the Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents).
`
`Moreover, Defendants reserve the right to rely on later identified sources of information,
`
`including but not limited to witness testimony and other discovery, to establish the state of the art
`
`in the relevant time frame pertaining to the Asserted Patents.
`
`Because discovery has just recently begun, Defendants anticipate that additional prior art
`
`and invalidity bases may be found. Defendants’ investigation and analysis of the prior art is
`
`continuing, and thus Defendants reserve the right to supplement, amend, and/or revise the
`
`information provided herein as Defendants conduct further investigation and/or analysis,
`
`including identifying, charting, and relying on additional references.
`
`Additionally, in view of likely third-party discovery that will be taken, Defendants
`
`reserve the right to present additional items of prior art under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(a), (b), (e),
`
`and/or (g) and/or § 103 located during discovery or further investigation, and to assert
`
`contentions of invalidity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(c), (d), or (f). For example, Defendants may
`
`issue subpoenas to third parties believed to have knowledge, documents, and/or other evidence
`
`concerning invalidity of one or more of the Asserted Claims.
`
`In addition to the positions and prior art identified in these Invalidity Contentions
`
`(including the accompanying invalidity claim charts), Defendants also incorporate by reference
`
`all invalidity contentions, prior art,4 and invalidity claim charts (including, without limitation, all
`
`
`
`4 Prior art appearing in the file histories of the Asserted Patents is not required to be separately
`produced by Defendants under P. R. 3-4(b).
`
`
`

`

`

`anticipation positions, obviousness positions (including all prior art combinations and
`
`motivations to combine), indefiniteness positions, written description positions, and non-
`
`enablement positions) concerning one or more of the Asserted Patents, as disclosed at any time.
`
`This includes without limitation disclosures in previous or related litigation, in United States
`
`Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) proceedings, by the Plaintiff, by any other parties
`
`accused of patent infringement by the Plaintiff, or by the named inventors or any individuals
`
`associated with the prosecution and/or post-grant review of the Asserted Patents.
`
`For example, Defendants identify, as prior art upon which they may rely to show the
`
`invalidity of the Asserted Claims, the prior art references disclosed by parties in any other
`
`litigation involving one or more of the Asserted Patents, including but not limited to:

`6 In the event the claims of the ’285 patent (including the terms “RF telephone handset” and “RF
`unit connected to a network”) are construed or applied to include devices beyond cordless
`telephones, the earliest possible priority date for the ’285 patent would be the application filing
`date of February 16, 2010. See, e.g., Prosecution History of U.S. Patent No. 7,945,285, Feb. 16,
`2010 Transmittal of New Application, at 16-17 (adding claims requiring, inter alia, an “RF
`telephone handset” and an “RF unit connected to a network”); id., Oct. 21, 2010 Amendment, at
`2-4 (amending the specification to add language that generally parrots the language of the
`claims). While Samsung maintains that, even as amended, the disclosures and claims in the ’285
`patent are directed exclusively to cordless telephones, BNR appears to contend (Samsung
`believes incorrectly) that the claims (which appeared for the first time in 2010) are broader than
`cordless telephones. Even BNR cannot dispute, however, that prior to February 16, 2010, the
`only disclosures and claims in the related parent applications were directed to cordless
`telephones. Compare id. with Prosecution History of U.S. Patent No. 7,945,284 (distinguishing
`the purported invention from other devices such as cellular phones) and Prosecution History of
`U.S. Patent No. 7,702,363 (same) and Prosecution History of Canadian Patent No. 2325244
`(same) and Prosecution History of European Patent No. 1104150 (same). Therefore, to the
`extent any disclosures or claims in the ’285 patent are construed or applied to be broader than
`cordless telephones, it must constitute new matter added in 2010 or later, and the ’285 patent
`would not be entitled to claim priority to any of the earlier dates of its related parent applications.
`In that case, Cao is prior art to the ’285 patent.

`

`Defendants assert that the items of prior art identified above in connection with Exhibits
`
`A1 to A7 and A11 to A14 anticipate one or more of the Asserted Claims of the ’889 Patent under
`
`at least Plaintiff’s apparent interpretation of the claims that Plaintiff appears to rely upon for its
`
`infringement contentions:
`
`1. Fukiharu 598 (A1) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`2. Numazawa (A2) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`3. Seo (A3) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`4. Perez (A4) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`5. Mantyjarvi (A5) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`6. Giel (A6) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`7. Koo (A7) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`8. Yasushi (A11) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`9. Noh (A12) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`10. Suzuki (A13) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`11. Hiroya (A14) anticipates claims 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12.
`
`Defendants further assert that the items of prior art identified above in connection with
`
`Exhibits A1 to A14 render obvious one or more of the Asserted Claims of the ’889 Patent in
`
`view of their own disclosures and the knowledge, skill, and experience of a person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art. Defendants assert that at least the combinations of prior art identified below
`
`render obvious one or more of the Asserted Claims of the ’889 Patent. The identification of
`
`combinations below should not be taken to mean that the combinations are necessarily required
`
`to prove invalidity. To the contrary, certain claims may be anticipated under one claim
`
`interpretation and obvious under another. Further, if any element should be found to be missing
`
`
`
`37
`
`Bell Northern Research, LLC, Exhibit 2010, Page 37 of 256
`
`

`

`from a particular item of prior art, Defendants assert that that item of prior art could be combined
`
`with other items of prior art that disclose that element.

`A person of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to make the above-

`
`The combined teachings of these references, the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the
`

`
`would have suggested the alleged invention to one of ordinary skill in the art, as well as a
`
`reasonable likelihood of success in making the above-referenced combinations. The
`
`combinations would constitute, at least, combining prior art elements according to known
