`

`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Petitioner Formed its Typo Theory
`by the Time of Petition
`… but did not disclose it
`
`Board found Petitioner failed
`to provide evidence as to
`why Rezvani’s ¶41 contains a
`typo.
`
`Institution Decision, 39
`
`“Petitioner may not submit new evidence or argument in reply that
`it could have presented earlier, e.g. to make out a prima facie case
`of unpatentability.” PTAB Consolidated Trial Practice Guide (Nov.
`2019), 73

`

`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Invalidity Grounds Must Be “On the Basis of Prior Art
`Consisting of Patents and Printed Publications” – 35
`U.S.C. §311(b)
`Petitioner contends Rezvani contains several alleged
`typos
`• Not relying on Rezvani as published, but on a revised version
`• Petitioner cannot rewrite the words in Rezvani
`• Expert testimony “cannot take the place of a disclosure in
`a prior art reference, when that disclosure is required as
`part of the unpatentability analysis.” PTAB Consolidated Trial
`Practice Guide (Nov. 2019), 36

`

`

`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Williams’s New Typo Opinion is Not Credible
`• New typo theory formed by a method worse than hindsight
`reconstruction
`• Formed typo opinion after reading the ‘155 Patent (Ex. 2026,
`14)
`• Conducted little to no investigation into source of alleged typos
`• Failed to consult with:
`• Listed inventors of Rezvani
`• Patent Attorney(s) who prosecuted Rezvani
`• Patent Examiner for Rezvani (Ex. 2026, 11-12)
`• His review of file history failed to provide “definitively” the
`source of the alleged typos (Ex. 2026, 12)

`
`KOSS-2028
`IPR2021-00297
`
`

`

`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Typo Theory Defies Practicality
`
`• Exact typing mistake allegedly
`made three times
`• No identification of any other
`typing mistakes in Rezvani
`• Odds of the exact same
`typing mistake in every place
`where a typo is critical to
`support Petitioner’s
`obviousness theory—and
`only those typing mistake—
`are astronomical

`
`Context of Rezvani ¶41 Shows No Typos
`
`• POSA in 2008 would have understood that a handset,
`such as a cellular phone, could switch from one network
`to another (Ex. 2026, 18-23)
`• Rezvani discloses that the handset could be a cell phone (Ex.
`1016, ¶4; Ex. 2026, 21-22)
`• Just because ¶41 begins by describing FIG. 8 does not
`limit all of ¶41 to FIG. 8

`
`Seamless Handoff By Handset ≠ Automatic
`Transitioning by Headset
`• Something can be seamless without being automatic (KOSS-
`2023, ¶¶52-53)
`• Petitioner fails to show a “seamless handoff” is performed
`without external influence or control on the handoff.
`• It is performed by the handset. (Ex. 1016, ¶41)

`
`• “The Petition’s first reason for

`• “Claims 1-3, 6-8, 10 and 14 Would
`Have Been Obvious Over Nakagawa

`• “POSAs would have had several
`reasons to implement
`Nakagawa’s wireless headset
`using Wilson’s form-factor.”
`(Pet., 61)
`Motivations to Combine
`• Making Nakagawa’s headset stereo
`like Wilson (Pet., 61-62)

`
`Nakagawa’s Sound-Source Switching Device
`Purely Functional
`• “Devices” besides the control
`unit perform the source-
`switching (Ex. 1022, ¶53)
`• A “prior-connection request
`analyzing unit 35 and [a] sound-
`source switching unit 36 are
`devices that accomplish the …
`sound-source switching.” (Ex.
`1022, ¶57)
`• Silent as to the nature and
`structure of the sound-source
`switching devices 35, 36
`• Merely depicted as boxes and
`described in functional terms only

`
`Nakagawa’s Sound-Source Switching Device
`Purely Functional
`
`Williams’s Testimony
`Ex. 2026, 44
`
`• Sound switching device
`• Not a term of art; “intrinsic terms” within Nakagawa
`• POSA would not know how to implement them but for Nakagawa’s disclosure (Ex.
`2023, ¶36)
`• Asking POSA to choose an appropriate battery without giving a POSA circuit
`components to be powered
`• No reasonable expectation of success (Ex. 2023, ¶36)

`
`McAlexander’s Testimony is Credible
`• McAlexander has experience with audio and acoustic
`engineering (Ex. 1101, 80; Ex. 2023 ¶9 and p. 30)
`• Issue faced by POSA in implementing the Nakagawa
`combinations requires internal headphone design
`experience
`• McAlexander’s experience outweighs Casali’s
`• Casali did not provide opinions relating to wireless
`communication aspects of the challenged claims (Ex. 1005, ¶36)
