`
`PATENT OWNER’S SUR-REPLY (PAPER 35), PAGE 7: LINES 9-11
`
`Regarding limitations [1n], [1p],2 and claim 5, Patent Owner (“PO”) argues
`
`“[i]ncluding the first name and second name at separate times would [] conflict with
`
`the ‘responsive’ relationship between the ‘second input’ and ‘causing’ the display of
`
`the ‘people view’” and quotes Dr. Bederson’s second deposition (EX2046) at 72:21-
`
`73:9 as support, stating “Dr. Bederson agreed ‘claim limitation [1n] and [1p]
`
`are…two elements of a whole claim including a people view, which has to be
`
`displayed and responsive to a second input.’” Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply (“POSR”)
`
`(Paper 35), 7:4-6, 7:9-11. But the inferences PO draws from Dr. Bederson’s
`
`testimony take it out of context.3
`
`
`2 Limitations [1n] and 1[p] recite the people view including: . . . (ii) a first name
`
`associated with the first person, the first name being displayed adjacent to the first
`
`person selectable thumbnail image [and]. . . (iv) a second name associated with the
`
`second person, the second name being displayed adjacent to the second person
`
`selectable thumbnail image. EX1001, claim 1; Petition (Paper 2), 55, 60. Claim
`
`language is italicized herein.
`
`3 The quote from Dr. Bederson’s testimony is based on questioning regarding Exhibit
`
`2044, which was introduced in this proceeding for the first-time during Dr.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`That claim limitations [1n] and [1p] are two “elements of a whole claim” does
`
`IPR2021-01413
`U.S. Patent 10,621,228
`
`
`
`not require that the first name and second name must be displayed simultaneously,
`
`as PO suggests. Under the plain meaning of the claims, the people view that includes
`
`the first name and second name of limitations [1n] and [1p] is displayed responsive
`
`to a second input regardless of whether the first name and second name are displayed
`
`simultaneously or at different times. EX1001, claim 1; EX2046, 68:4-24, 73:3-9,
`
`73:15-24, 74:10-18, 75:8-22, 78:2-11, 78:23-79:11. The first name and second name
`
`are displayed in response to the second input because they are displayed as part of
`
`the people view, as a result of the people view being selected by the second input,
`
`and the Petition explains how the prior art shows this. EX1001, claim 1; Petition,
`
`47-52, 55-57, 60-61. Specifically, the Petition explains that when Okamura’s FACE
`
`tab 412 is depressed (responsive to a second input), face cluster display area 431
`
`showing thumbnail images of faces included in contents is displayed (causing a
`
`
`Bederson’s second deposition and appears to have been created by PO. EX2046,
`
`70:5-16. Dr. Bederson testified multiple times that he had not seen this exhibit
`
`before, was not familiar with it, and that the exhibit lacked context in relation to the
`
`Challenged Claims. Id., 72:9-12, 73:10-14, 73:23-24, 75:5-7, 75:19-22, 77:14-25,
`
`190:3-12.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`

`

`
`people view to be displayed), where face cluster display area 431 (the people view)
`
`IPR2021-01413
`U.S. Patent 10,621,228
`
`includes information 433 having a first person’s name (first name) displayed for the
`
`first person’s thumbnail image and information 433 having a second person’s name
`
`(second name) displayed for the second person’s thumbnail image. Id.
`
`Dr. Bederson explained how the first name and second name of the people
`
`view would be displayed consistent with the proper plain meaning interpretation
`
`during his second deposition, in relation to the various “views” shown by Exhibit
`
`2044; specifically, when asked whether “View No. 2 could be encompassed by
`
`limitations [1n] and [1p],” he stated “View No. 2 is not complete…I would guess
`
`probably a better answer would be to say that you see View 2 and View 3 together
`
`worked in a similar way to Okamura[], perhaps they could be…part of a teaching of
`
`claim limitations 1[n] and 1[p].” EX2046, 75:1-19. Dr. Bederson further explained
`
`“to the extent that view 2 and view 3 represent a system that works in a comparable
`
`way to Okamura, then, it perhaps could read on limitations [1n] and [1p].” EX2046,
`
`78:7-10. Thus, Dr. Bederson explained the plain meaning encompasses displaying
`
`what is shown in view 2 and view 3 of Exhibit 2044 at different times in the people
`
`view. Id.; EX2044.

`

`
`II.
`
`POSR (PAPER 35), PAGE 7: FOOTNOTE 2
`
`IPR2021-01413
`U.S. Patent 10,621,228
`
`PO further argues “[c]laim 1 recites a (i) a single ‘second input’ and (ii)
`
`‘causing’ the display of the ‘people view’ (that includes a first name and second
`
`name) ‘responsive to’ that same ‘second input.’” POSR, 7. As a footnote to this
`
`sentence (footnote 2), PO states “Dr. Bederson refused to identify a POSITA’s
`
`understanding of ‘causing,’” citing to his deposition transcript at 58:4-59:6 and
`
`61:15-64:3. POSR, Footnote 2.4 Notably, PO never objected to Dr. Bederson’s
`
`testimony as being non-responsive. EX2046, 58:4-59:6, 61:15-64:3. Regardless, PO
`
`mischaracterizes Dr. Bederson’s testimony. During Dr. Bederson’s second
`
`deposition, PO questioned Dr. Bederson about the meaning of causing in view of
`
`Exhibit 2043, which appears to be dictionary definitions of “cause.”5 EX2046,
`
`61:15-64:3; EX2043. In response, Dr. Bederson did not simply “refuse” to identify
`
`a POSITA understanding of the term. Instead, Dr. Bederson confirmed that he did
`
`not have “any particular cause for concern” when reviewing the definitions in light
`
`of the Petition and the prior art. Id., 63:11-64:3. The Petition explained how
`
`
`4 The POSR improperly raises the interpretation of causing for the first time.
`
`5 Dr. Bederson testified that he had not seen Exhibit 2043 before his second
`
`deposition and was not familiar with it. EX2046, 61:18-21, 63:11-64:3, 190:3-12.

`

`

`
`Okamura discloses or at least renders obvious causing a people view to be displayed
`
`IPR2021-01413
`U.S. Patent 10,621,228
`
`as recited in claim 1, showing that when Okamura’s FACE tab 412 is depressed
`
`(responsive to a second input), face cluster display area 431 showing a thumbnail
`
`image of each of the faces included in contents is displayed (causing a people view
`
`to be displayed). See, e.g., Petition, 47-52. Nothing in Exhibit 2043 contradicts this
`
`showing; if anything, it tends to emphasize how broad the term causing is,
`
`encompassing, for example, events that simply “bring about” some result even if not
`
`the direct effect. See, e.g., EX2043, 2, 5.
