`
`III. GROUNDS FOR STANDING
`
`Petitioner certifies that the ’147 patent is eligible for IPR and that Petitioner
`
`is not barred or estopped from requesting IPR challenging the patent claims. 37
`
`C.F.R. §42.104(a).
`
`IV. BACKGROUND
`
`By early 2000, there were more than 300,000,000 cellular users world-wide.
`
`Ex.1005, 1:13-14. Because wireless networks offered bandwidths that were only a
`
`few tens of kilobits per second (Kbps), users primarily used their mobile devices
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`for voice conversations. Ex.1005, 1:25-26. Applications for the mobile devices
`
`were relatively limited. Ex.1005, 1:29-33; Ex.1003, ¶28.
`
`The 3G wireless technology offered bandwidths of 125kpbs or greater. Prior
`
`to 3G technology, navigation, location, and map applications were pre-installed on
`
`mobile devices. With 3G technology, these applications became accessible to
`
`mobile devices over a wireless network and the Internet. Ex.1005, 1:37-45;
`
`Ex.1003, ¶29. The applications provided users with real-time data, including user
`
`location, navigation, traffic, and tracking information. See Ex.1005; Ex.1006;
`
`Ex.1011; Ex.1003, ¶29.
`
`To provide data to users, applications requested access to user and location
`
`information. See Ex.1008. Permission flags and similar settings allowed users to
`
`control access to this information. Ex.1005; Figure 3, Ex.1008; Ex.1003, ¶30.
`
`All these concepts were well-known in the art before the ’147 patent was
`
`filed. Ex.1003, ¶31.
`
`A.
`
`The ’147 Patent
`
`The ’147 patent relates to “providing navigation using mobile wireless
`
`devices.” Ex.1001, 1:49-50. A directional assistance network (DAN) receives “a
`
`starting location and a destination location.” Ex.1001, 63:18-19. The starting
`
`location, which is a “wireless devices current location,” is determined by a wireless
`
`network. Ex.1001, 115:18-30. The DAN “calculates the route” from the starting
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`location to the destination and sends the route to the mobile device. Ex.1001,
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`115:22-24.
`
`The ’147 patent also relates to preference flags that control access to user
`
`and location information. Ex.1001, 61:47-49. A privacy flag “allow[s] the user to
`
`choose whether or not his/her location can be monitored.” Ex.1001, 23:17-19. An
`
`“Anonymous Privacy Flag” allows the user’s location, but not “user information”
`
`to “be accessed by external applications.” Ex.1001, 23:23-27.
`
`B.
`
`Prosecution History
`
`U.S. Application No. 16/788,498 that became the ’147 patent was filed on
`
`Feb. 12, 2020. Notice of Allowance and Examiner’s Amendment amending the
`
`independent claims with the subject matter in sections [1.2.3]-[1.2.4] followed on
`
`May 26, 2020. Ex.1002, 85-107.
`
`C.
`
`Priority Date
`
`The earliest application to which the ’147 patent claims priority is U.S.
`
`Appl. No. 60/383,528, filed October 4, 2001.1
`
`
`1 Although grounds herein antedate, Petitioner does not concede that any particular
`
`claim of the ’147 patent is supported in this or any other alleged priority document.

`
`V.
`
`LEVEL OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`
`A Person of Ordinary Skill in The Art (“POSITA”) in October 2001 would
`
`have had a bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering, or an
`
`equivalent, and two years of professional experience relating to locating
`
`technologies, mobile devices and wireless networks. Ex.1003, ¶22. Lack of
`
`professional experience can be remedied by additional education, and vice versa.
`
`Ex.1003, ¶22.
`
`VI. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`
`During IPR, claims are construed according to the standard as set forth in
`
`Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc). 37 C.F.R.
`
`§42.100(b) (Nov. 13, 2018). Petitioner believes that, for the purposes of this
`
`proceeding and the analysis presented herein, other than the term below, no claim
`
`term requires express construction. Vivid Techs., Inc. v. Am. Sci. & Eng’g, Inc.,
`
`200 F.3d 795, 803 (Fed. Cir. 1999). Accordingly, this Petition analyzes the claims
`
`consistent with ordinary and customary meaning as would be understood by
`
`POSITA in light of the specification. Phillips, 415 F.3d, 1314-17.
`
`
`
`Claims 1-3, 6-13, 16-18, and 19-23 recite “navigation information,” which
`
`is not defined in the ’147 patent. The ’147 patent describes different terms such as
`
`“mobile location,” “travel direction,” and “speed” which are used to calculate a
`
`route. Ex.1003, ¶26; Ex.1001, 63:34-40. Based on the description, the term
`
`5
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`“navigation information” should be construed to include “one or moreofa route,
`
`travel direction, speed, and mobile location.” Ex.1003, 427.
`
`Vil. RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Petitioner asks that the Boardinstitute a trial for inter partes review and
`
`cancel the Challenged Claimsin view ofthe analysis below.
`
`A.
`
`Challenged claims
`
`Petitioner challenges claims 1-9, 11-20, and 22-24 of the claimsof the ’147
`
`patent. A finding that the Challenged Claimsare unpatentable in this proceeding
`
`will resolve the parties’ dispute, substantially reducing the time and expense of
`
`litigation.
`
`B.
`
`Statutory groundsfor challenges
`
`Basis under 35 U.S.C. § 103 (Pre-AIA)
`
`14, 16-18 8-9, 19-20
`
`1-3, 5-7, 11-
`
`Moles, Sakarya, Khavakh
`
`Moles, Sakarya, Khavakh, Zellner
`
`Moles granted on an application filed Dec. 30, 1999. Sakarya wasfiled Aug.
`
`3, 2000 and published on April 19, 2001. Khavakh granted on an application filed
`
`Mar. 25, 1998 and published Feb. 20, 2001. Zellner granted on an application filed
`
`Jun. 30, 2000. Tanibayashi granted on an application filed Mar. 9, 2001. Moles,
`
`
`
`
`Khavakh, Zellner, and Tanibayashi, are prior art at least under 35 U.S.C. §102(e).
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`Sakarya and Khavakh are prior art at least under 35 U.S.C. §102(a).
`
`Petitioner’s §103 obviousness grounds rely on the combined teachings of the
`
`prior art and not on a physical incorporation of elements. See In re Mouttet, 686
`
`F.3d 1322, 1332 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
`
`Petitioner also cites to additional prior art as evidence of the background
`
`knowledge of a POSITA and to provide contemporaneous context to support
`
`Petitioner’s assertions regarding what a POSITA would have understood from the
`
`prior art in the grounds. See Yeda Research v. Mylan Pharm. Inc., 906 F.3d 1031,
`
`1041-1042 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (affirming the use of “supporting evidence relied upon
`
`to support the challenge”); 37 C.F.R. §42.104(b); see also K/S HIMPP v. Hear-
`
`Wear Techs., LLC, 751 F.3d 1362, 1365-66 (Fed. Cir. 2014); Arendi S.A.R.L. v.
`
`Apple Inc., 832 F.3d 1355, 1363 (Fed. Cir. 2016).
`
`VIII. IDENTIFICATION OF HOW THE CLAIMS ARE UNPATENTABLE
`A. Ground I: Claims 1-3, 5-7, 11-14, and 16-18 are obvious over
`Moles, Sakarya and Khavakh
`1. Moles
`
`Moles is directed to “wireless telephone network 100” with “base stations.”
`
`Ex.1005, 4:45-47. The base stations “communicate with a plurality of wireless
`
`mobile stations.” Ex.1005, 4:47-49. The mobile stations comprise “radio frequency
`
`7
`
`
`
`
`(RF) transceiver 210 coupled to antenna 205” for communicating with the base
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`stations according to well-known principles. Ex.1005, 5:57-63. Moles also
`
`discloses a mobile switching center (MSC) for communicating between “a wireless
`
`network and external networks, such as the public telephone system and/or the
`
`Internet.” Ex.1005, 5:15-21, Figure 1 (below):
`
`
`
`Ex.1005, Figure 1.
`
`Moles discloses “a position locating system” for “locating a wireless mobile
`
`station.” Ex.1005, 6:26-28. The position locating system “requires the wireless
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`
`mobile station to determine its position” or “send at least some information to the
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`wireless network in order for the wireless network to be able to determine the
`
`position.” Ex.1005, 6:41-46.
`
`Moles also discloses “selectively disabling the transmission of information
`
`concerning the location of the wireless mobile station” using “selectively set”
`
`flags, including “location privacy flag 272” and “code authorization unit 276”
`
`code. Ex.1005, 3:42-44, 6:57-60, 8:65-66.
`
`2.
`
`Sakarya
`
`Sakarya relates to a “mobile station” operating in “a mobile communication
`
`network.” Ex.1006, 3:15-16. The “display 25 of the mobile station 1 display[s] an
`
`extract of the city map 24,” “names and locations of streets and characteristic
`
`buildings,” and the mobile station’s “geographical position 24c.” Ex.1006, 15:17-
`
`26, Figure 2. The geographical position 24c can be determined using the “global
`
`positioning system GPS module” or a “GSM/UMTS localising system.” Ex.1006,
`
`4:1-9.
`
`The mobile station provides “directional information based on destination
`
`information and information concerning its present location.” Ex.1006, 11:15-17.
`
`The directional information can be updated based on “information concerning
`
`[traffic] jam, rerouting, speed limits etc.,” received from the network. Ex.1006,
`
`18:16-19.

`
`
`
`
`
`3. Khavakh
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`Khavakh is directed to a navigation system implemented on a hand-held
`
`portable system or “a networked environment or a client-server platform.”
`
`Ex.1010, 3:32-37. Khavakh discloses a “route calculation tool” that “determines
`
`routes between specified locations.” Ex.1010, 5:30-31. The “route is comprised of
`
`a list 60(1) of road segment data records” that “represent portions of roadways that
`
`together comprise the calculated route.” Ex.1010, 6:64-67.

`
`Reasons to Combine Moles and Sakarya
`
`POSITA would have been motivated to combine Moles and Sakarya to
`
`display the location of a wireless device on a map and provide navigation
`
`capabilities as taught by Sakarya, and doing so would have been within the
`
`POSITA’s skillset and would produce beneficial, predictable results. Ex.1003, ¶49.
`
`When considering Moles, POSITA would have considered the teachings of
`
`Sakarya since they are analogous prior art in the same field of endeavor as the ’147
`
`patent—wireless communication systems and devices receiving location-based
`
`services. Ex.1001, Abstract, 111:57-112:5; Ex.1005, 4:42-50, 6:12-46; Ex.1006,
`
`3:15-20, 11:15-23; Ex.1003, ¶50.

`
`a) Generate and display a location of a mobile device on
`a map.
`
`POSITA when considering Moles, would have found it obvious to consider
`
`other references detailing how a mobile device can usefully display its location.
`
`Ex.1003, ¶200. Moles describes a display unit displaying the location of a mobile
`
`station. Ex.1005, 6:17-19. Moles explains that displaying the location is beneficial
`
`when a user is lost or is in an unknown area. Ex.1005, 1:57-2:4. When considering
`
`Moles, POSITA would have looked to art that described how location can be
`
`beneficially displayed. Sakarya provides these teachings. Sakarya teaches context
`
`for usefully displaying the location together with map information, including in
`
`“an extract of the city map,” and with “names and locations of streets and
`
`characteristic buildings.” Ex.1006, 15:18-20. POSITA would have found it useful
`
`to generate and display the location of the mobile device together with the map
`
`information for the users to easily identify their location based on street names,
`
`landmarks, etc., find their way to a destination, or describe their location to a 911
`
`operator. Ex.1003, ¶51.
`
`The combination of Moles and Sakarya would have been combining prior art
`
`elements (displaying the location taught in Moles with map information taught in
`
`Sakarya) according to known methods (a display of a mobile device) to yield
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`predictable results (a useful and comprehensive way to display the location).
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`Ex.1003, ¶52.
`
`b) Provide directions to a destination.
`
`POSITA when considering Moles’ locating technology, would have found it
`
`obvious to consider other references that provide useful location-based
`
`applications, e.g., navigation applications, to a mobile device. Ex.1003, ¶53.
`
`Advances in 3G technology resulted in “[h]igher data rates” which made
`
`“applications for wireless mobile stations much more common.” Ex.1005, 1:38-40.
`
`Although mobile devices equipped with navigation systems were well-known in
`
`the art, 3G technology allowed mobile devices to access navigation systems over a
`
`wireless network. Ex.1006, 18:6-19. Ex.1003, ¶53.
`
`POSITA would have been motivated to use Sakarya’s navigation system that
`
`uses locating technology taught in Moles to provide directions, navigation
`
`information, and real-time traffic updates to a user based on the user’s location.
`
`The results would have been predictable because location and navigation
`
`technologies were well-known and understood. Ex.1006, 17:14-18:1. There would
`
`have been a reasonable expectation of success in the combination given that both
`
`Moles and Sakarya use (1) locating technology to determine location of the mobile
`
`device and (2) increased bandwidth capabilities of the wireless networks. Ex.1003,
`
`¶54.

`
`
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`The combination of Moles and Sakarya would simply have been
`
`
`
`combination of prior art elements (location-based navigation systems taught by
`
`Sakarya in the mobile device with location technology of Moles) according to
`
`known methods (disclosed in Sakarya) to yield predictable results (allowing
`
`navigation capability in Mole’s mobile devices). Ex.1003, ¶55.
`
`5.
`
`Reasons to Combine Moles, Sakarya and Khavakh
`
`POSITA would have been motivated to combine Moles and Sakarya with
`
`Khavakh to efficiently determine direction information as taught in Khavakh and
`
`doing so would have been within the POSITA’s skillset and would produce
`
`beneficial, predictable results. Ex.1003, ¶56.
`
`When considering the teachings of Moles and Sakarya, POSITA would have
`
`considered the teachings of Khavakh because they are analogous prior art
`
`pertaining to the same field of endeavor as the ’147 patent—wireless
`
`communication systems and devices receiving location-based services. Ex.1001,
`
`Abstract, 111:57-112:5; Ex.1005, 4:42-50, 6:12-46; Ex.1006, 3:15-20, 11:15-23;
`
`Ex.1010, Abstract, 3:27-37, 3:52-3:13; Ex.1003, ¶57.
`
`a) Efficiently determine direction information
`
`POSITA considering Moles and Sakarya would have found it obvious to
`
`consider other references describing in detail various aspects for determining
`
`directions to a destination, e.g., a navigation route. See Ex.1010, 5:25-8:25;
`
`13
`
`
`
`
`Ex.1003, ¶58. Khavakh provides these further details and therefore would be an
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`obvious source of such information to a POSITA. For example, while Sakarya
`
`generally describes a navigation algorithm, Khavakh provides details for how the
`
`navigation algorithm works using the “navigation software program 18,” “route
`
`calculation tool 40” and “road segment data records.” Ex.1006, 17:25-18:1,
`
`Ex.1010, 5:26-28, 6:60-67; Ex.1003, ¶58.
`
`POSITA would have been motivated to apply Khavakh’s navigation
`
`software to Moles combined with Sakarya because the combination already
`
`contemplates a navigation system that uses location of the mobile device. Ex.1006,
`
`17:25-18:1. The results would have been predictable because navigation systems
`
`for mobile devices were well-known technology, and there would have been a
`
`reasonable expectation of success in the combination given that Moles, Sakarya,
`
`and Khavakh provide location based and navigation services to mobile devices.
`
`Ex.1005, 4:43-53, Figure 1; Ex.1006, 17:25-18:1; Ex.1010, 3:52-64; Ex.1003, ¶59.
`
`The combination of Moles, Sakarya, and Khavakh is simply a combination
`
`of prior art elements (employing a navigation software taught in Khavakh to
`
`determine navigation directions for the mobile device that uses location based
`
`navigation algorithms taught in Moles and Sakarya) according to known methods
`
`(locating and navigation techniques) to yield predictable results (providing
`
`directions to a mobile device). Ex.1003, ¶60.

`
`b) Access resources available in a network external to
`the wireless network.
`
`POSITA when considering location-based navigation systems taught in
`
`Moles combined with Sakarya, would have found it obvious to consider other
`
`references that describe different networks available for hosting navigation
`
`systems. 3G technology provided “[h]igher data rates” and made “Internet
`
`applications for wireless mobile stations much more common.” Ex.1005, 1:38-40.
`
`For example, 3G technology allowed mobile devices to access navigation systems
`
`over a wireless network, as well as other networks connected to the wireless
`
`network, such as the Internet. Ex.1006, 18:6-19; see also Ex.1011, 2:62-67, 32:32-
`
`41; Ex.1003, ¶61.
`
`POSITA would have recognized that hosting applications in a client-server
`
`platform or another network environment, such as the Internet, was advantageous
`
`because of the virtually unlimited storage and processing capabilities available in
`
`the network that were not available on the mobile devices or even in wireless
`
`networks. Ex.1003, ¶62. These resources allowed the navigation systems to store
`
`current maps and traffic information, and determine driving directions without
`
`draining the battery power of the mobile device or tying up resources of the
`
`wireless network. Because the 3G technology increased bandwidths available to
`
`the mobile devices and the wireless network, data stored and processed by the
`
`15
`
`
`
`
`client-server platforms and networks environments became accessible to the
`
`IPR2022-00073 Petition
`Inter Partes Review of US 10,820,147
`
`mobile devices. POSITA would have been motivated to take advantage of the 3G
`
`technology and considered references that described hosting the navigation system
`
`in the client-server network connected to the wireless network. Ex.1003, ¶62.
`
`The results would have been predictable because navigation systems for
`
`mobile devices were a well-known technology. Ex.1003, ¶63. Further, the mobile
`
`devices and the wireless netw
