`
`information reflecting a time at which the movement data causing the
`
`first user-defined event occurred” [1f] and “storing, in said memory, first
`
`event information related to the detected first user-defined event along
`
`with first time stamp information reflecting a time at which the
`
`movement data causing the first user-defined event occurred” [20f], the

`
`2
`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2022-00037

`
`the ’576 patent were not shown to be unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. §

`
`by substantial evidence; and

`
`rulings, or opinions underlying or supporting the Final Written Decision.
`

`device to other computation or storage devices contained within the system;
`
`The ’576 patent discloses that certain prior art devices recorded the
`
`numberoftimes that a predetermined angle was exceeded but were not
`
`convenient to operate and served to report rather than analyze the
`
`information. /d. at 1:45—54. The ’576 patent disclosesthat it is also
`
`important to measure angular velocity to monitor and analyze improper
`
`movement. Id. at 1:55-67.
`
`The *576 patent discloses an electronic device that tracks and
`
`monitors an individual’s motion through the use of a movement sensor
`
`capable of measuring data associated with the wearer’s movement. Jd.
`
`at 2:10-13. The device of the ’576 patent includes a user-programmable
`
`microprocessor, which receives, interprets, stores and respondsto the
`
`movementdata based on customizable operation parameters; a clock
`
`connected to the microprocessor; memory for storing the movement and
`
`analysis data; a power source; a port for downloading the data from the
`
`and various input and output components. /d. at 2:13-21.
`
`Figure 4 of the ’576 patent is a block diagram of the movement
`
`measuring device (id. at 3:11—12):

`
`The self-contained device can be worn at various positions along the
`
`torso or appendages being monitored depending on the specific physical task
`
`being performed. /d. at 2:21-24. The device also monitors the speed of the
`
`movements made while the device is being worn. /d. at 2:24—25. When a
`
`pre-programmed eventis recognized, the device records the time and date of
`
`the event while providing feedback to the wearer via visual, audible and/or
`
`tactile warnings. Jd. at 2:25—29. Periodically, data from the device may be
`
`downloadedinto an associated computer program, which analyzesthe data.
`
`Id. at 2:29-31. The program can then formatvariousreports to aid in
`
`recognizing and correcting trends in incorrect physical movement. Jd. at
`
`2:31-33.

`
`II. ANALYSIS
`
`A. Legal Standards
`
`To prevail in its challenge, Petitioner must demonstrate by a
`
`preponderance ofthe evidencethat the claims are unpatentable. 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 316(e); 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(d) (2020). “In an IPR,the petitioner has the
`
`burden from the onset to show with particularity why the patent it challenges
`
`is unpatentable.” Harmonic Inc. v. Avid Tech., Inc., 815 F.3d 1356, 1363
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2016) (citing 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(3) (2012) (requiring inter partes
`
`review petitions to identify “with particularity .
`
`.
`
`. the evidence that supports
`
`the groundsfor the challenge to each claim”)). This burden of persuasion
`
`nevershifts to the patent owner. See Dynamic Drinkware, LLC v. Nat'l
`
`Graphics, Inc., 800 F.3d 1375, 1378 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (discussing the burden
`
`of proof in inter partes review).
`
`

`IPR2022-00037
`Patent 6,059,576 C1
`
`A patent claim is unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)if the
`
`differences between the claimed subject matter and the prior art are such that
`
`the subject matter, as a whole, would have been obviousat the time the
`
`invention was madeto a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said
`
`subject matter pertains. KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398, 406
`
`(2007). The question of obviousnessis resolved on the basis of underlying
`
`factual determinations including: (1) the scope and contentofthe priorart;
`
`(2) any differences between the claimed subject matter andthe priorart;
`
`(3) the level of ordinary skill in the art; and (4) whenin evidence, objective
`
`indicia of non-obviousness(also called secondary considerations), such as
`
`commercial success, long-felt but unsolved needs, and failure of others.
`
`Graham v. John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1, 17-18 (1966). We analyze grounds
`
`based on obviousness in accordancewith the above-stated principles. !

`
`B. Level ofOrdinary Skill in the Art
`
`In determining whether an invention would have been obviousat the
`
`time it was made, 35 U.S.C. § 103 requires us to resolve the level of
`
`ordinary skill in the pertinent art at the time of the effective filing date of the
`
`claimed invention. Graham, 383 U.S. at 17. The person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art is a hypothetical person who is presumed to have known therelevant
`
`art. In re GPAC, Inc., 57 F.3d 1573, 1579 (Fed. Cir. 1995). Factors that
`
`may be considered in determiningthe level of ordinary skill in the art
`
`include, but are not limited to, the types of problems encounteredin theart,
`
`the sophistication of the technology, and educational level of active workers
`
`in the field. /d. In a given case, one or more factors may predominate. Jd.
`
`

`IPR2022-00037
`Patent 6,059,576 C1
`
`Petitioner contendsthat a person having ordinary skill in the art
`
`would have had a Bachelor of Science degree in an academic
`discipline emphasizing the design ofelectrical, computer, or
`software technologies, in combination with training orat least
`one to two years of related work experience with capture and
`processing of data or information, including but not limited to
`physical activity monitoring technologies. Alternatively, the
`person could havealso had a Master of Science degree in a
`relevant academic discipline with less than a year of related
`work experience in the samediscipline.
