`Background
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 8,903,307 (“the ’307 patent) and 8,688,028 (“the ’028 patent”)
`are in the same family with substantively the same text. This presentation
`focuses on the ’307 patent and IPR2021-00712. The presentation provides
`parallel cites to the record in IPR2021-00716.
`
`The ’307 patent describes a system and method for allowing a user to respond to
`broadcast media by correlating media content identifying data with a broadcast
`segment.

`Background
`
`The ’307 patent states that at the time of the invention, RBDS and RDS systems
`allowed broadcasters to “distribute information to a large number of users” but
`did not “allow individual users to respond to the broadcast information.” IPR2021-00712,

`
`’307 patent, Independent Claim 11
`
`11[pre]
`
`A system for correlating media content
`identifying data with at least one broadcast
`segment received by a communication
`device, the system comprising:
`
`EX1001, 15:30-32.
`
`11[d]
`
`11[a]
`
`11[b]
`
`11[c]
`
`receiver configured to receive a broadcast
`stream comprising the at least one broadcast
`segment and associated media content,
`EX1001, 15:32-35.
`the receiver further configured to receive a
`data stream associated with the broadcast
`stream, the data stream comprising, at a
`minimum, the media content identifying data,
`wherein the media content identifying data
`comprises at least one element;
`
`EX1001, 15:35-39.
`
`at least one computer processor
`configured to extract the media content
`identifying data from the data stream,
`associating each media content
`identifying data element with at least
`one of a plurality of media content
`EX1001, 15:40-43.
`
`an electronic memory of the communication
`device configured to store, at a minimum,
`media content identifying data elements into
`identifying data aggregates, each identifying
`data aggregate associated with at least one
`of the plurality of media content and the at
`least one broadcast segment,
`
`EX1001, 15:44-49.
`
`11[e]
`
`wherein the at least one broadcast segment

`device, whereby the providing provides
`selective outputting, using an interface,
`of at least one of the following: the media
`content identifying data, the media
`content, the corollary broadcast
`segment, a temporal position of the
`corollary broadcast segment of the
`broadcast stream.

`Takahisa Does Not Anticipate Claims 11,

`
`Page 30 of 72
`
`
`
`Overview
`
`Takahisa does not identify information showing a discretely identifiable portion of
`programming as broadcasted and consequently does not anticipate several
`elements of challenged claim 11, including:
`
`• The limiting preamble (11[pre]), which requires correlating media
`content identifying data with “at least one broadcast segment,” and
`
`• The electronic memory element (11[d]), which requires storing
`identifying data aggregates, where each aggregate is associated with
`“the at least one broadcast segment.”
`
`IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 2-4; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 2-4.
`
`Claim 16 is independently patentable:
`
`• Takahisa’s pyramid address does not provide for unique identification
`of a broadcast segment.
`
`• Takahisa does not show “the data stream further comprises data that
`enables a unique identification of the at least one broadcast segment.”
`
`IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 4-5; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 4-5.

`
`Takahisa Does Not Meet Element 11[pre]
`(Ground 1)
`
`32
`
`Page 32 of 72
`
`
`
`Takahisa does not meet the preamble of Claim 11
`
`• The preamble is limiting. IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 33-34; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 34-36.
`
`• Takahisa does not show receiving media content identifying data that
`discretely identifies a portion of programming as broadcasted claim. IPR2021-00712,
`Paper No. 28 (POR) at 34; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 35-36.
`
`• Because Takahisa does not discretely identify a portion of programming,
`Takahisa does not correlate anything with a broadcast segment. IPR2021-00712, Paper
`No. 28 (POR) at 34; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 28 (POR) at 35-36.
`
`• Petitioner’s argument that Takahisa’s “pyramid address” is used to correlate
`the received media content identifying data with the received broadcast
`segment is without merit. Takahisa indicates that “all data pertaining to [the
`same] musical selection will have identical pyramid addresses.” IPR2021-00712, Paper
`No. 37 (Patent Owner Sur-Reply) at 8-9, citing EX1004, 9:17-19 (emphasis added); IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 36 (Patent
`Owner Sur-Reply) at 10-11.

`
`33
`
`Page 33 of 72
`
`
`
`Takahisa does not meet the preamble of Claim 11
`
`• Petitioner’s argument that “Takahisa’s pyramid address is specific to the
`particular media selection and the broadcast itself” and that “Takahisa does
`not limit the pyramid address to being the same each time particular song is
`played” defies the reference’s teachings. IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 37 (Patent Owner Sur-Reply) at
`11, citing Paper No. 33 (Petitioner Reply) at 11-12; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 36 (Patent Owner Sur-Reply) at 11-12, citing
`Paper No. 33 (Petitioner Reply) at 12.
`
`• Takahisa refers to the identity of content as a “musical selection” and refers to
`multiple broadcasts of the same content as broadcasts of the same “musical
`selection.” IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 37 (Patent Owner Sur-Reply) at 12, citing EX1004, 5:58-63 (emphasis added);
`IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 36 (Patent Owner Sur-Reply) at 12, citing EX1004, 5:58-63 (emphasis added).

`
`Petitioner cites Takahisa at 8:22-34, opining that Takahisa’s statement that
`“data from a previous program selection . . . may be stored for later access by
`the user” would lead a POSITA to understand that “previously played
`songs/broadcast segments are aggregated into a history aggregate” and each
`song of this “history aggregate” (“aggregation of songs”) would have an
`aggregation of relevant data. Pet. 33 (citing EX1003, ¶¶133-34). IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 28

`
`Petitioner’s Reply argues that Takahisa’s history
`aggregate “precisely discloses” the tracking of
`discrete instances of broadcast segments, and that
`if multiple instances of the same song were stored,
`Takahisa’s system would have distinguished
`between these multiple instances because it stores
`a history of “previous selections.” IPR2021-00712, Paper No. 37 (Patent
`
`Owner’s Sur-Reply) at 13, citing Paper 33 (Reply) at 14; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 36 (Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply)
`at 13, citing Paper 33 (Reply) at 15.
`
`However, Takahisa shows no embodiment in the
`history aggregate discussion where multiple
`instances of the same content are stored. IPR2021-00712,
`Paper No. 37 (Patent Owner Sur-Reply) at 13; IPR2021-00716, Paper No. 36 (Patent Owner Sur-
`Reply) at 13-14.
`
`Moreover, Takahisa explicitly teaches that the
`pyramid address would be the same for each
`instance where the song was played. Thus, the
`aggregates for such instances would not discretely
`identify a portion of the program as broadcasted.

`
`In the challenged patents, the media content identifying data for each
`tagged/selected song are used for “data mining” or “aggregation of data” to
`form aggregates that correlate each song to its associated broadcast segment.

`
`In the context of the challenged patents, the aggregates of data provide
`information indicating the discretely identifiable portion of programming as
`broadcasted and can be sold to “interested parties such as trade publications
