`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 316(d) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.121, Patent Owner
`
`submits this contingent Motion to Amend, to substitute proposed claims 21, 22,
`
`and 23 for original claims 6, 16, and 17, respectively, of U.S. Patent No.
`
`10,804,740 (“the ’740 Patent”). The Board has provided procedural guidance to
`
`satisfy the conferral requirement of 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a) via email on July 25,
`
`2022.
`
`Patent Owner requests preliminary guidance from the Board on this Motion
`
`to Amend pursuant to the Pilot Program Concerning Motion to Amend Practice
`
`and Procedures in Trial Proceedings Under the AIA. 86 Fed. Reg. 51656 (Sept. 16,
`
`2021); 84 Fed. Reg. 9497 (March 15, 2019).
`
`Patent Owner submits that this Motion to Amend satisfies the requirements
`
`under 37 C.F. R. §42.121(a), as explained below. Accordingly, should the Board
`
`find that claims 6, 16, and 17 of the ’740 Patent are unpatentable, Patent Owner
`
`requests that the Board grant this Motion and herewith substitute original claims 6,
`
`16, and 17 with proposed substitute claims 21, 22, and 23, respectively.
`
`II.
`
`LEGAL STANDARD – MOTION TO AMEND
`
`For a motion to amend, a Patent Owner need show that the requirements of
`
`“paragraphs (1) and (3) of 35 U.S.C. 316(d), as well as paragraphs (a)(2), (a)(3),
`
`(b)(1), and (b)(2) of [37 C.F.R. § 42.121]” are met. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(d)(1). The
`
`burden to show that the amended claims are unpatentable over the prior art rests
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`solely on the Petitioner. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(d)(2); Aqua Products Inc. v. Matal,
`
`872 F.3d 1290, 1324 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (en banc).
`
`A Patent Owner must therefore only show that the substitute claims (1) do
`
`not introduce new subject matter (37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(ii); 2) do not
`
`impermissibly seek to enlarge the scope of the claims (id.); 3) propose a reasonable
`
`number of substitute claims (37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(3)); and (4) respond to a
`
`ground of unpatentability in the trial (37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(i)). The Board may
`
`then consider whether the Petitioner has shown that the substitute claims at issue
`
`are unpatentable by a preponderance of the evidence. L&P Property Mgt. Co. v.
`
`Remacro Machinery & Tech. Co., Ltd., Case IPR2019-00255, p. 6 (PTAB Jun. 18,
`
`2019) (Paper No. 15).
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend satisfied these requirements for the
`
`following reasons:
`
`a. Substitute Claims Do Not Add New Matter.
`
`The ’740 Patent (U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 16/264,360) is a continuation of U.S.
`
`Pat. Appl. No. 15/430,173, filed on Feb. 10, 2017 (U.S. Pat. No. 10,277,071),
`
`which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 15/360,425, filed on Nov. 23, 2016
`
`(U.S. Pat. No. 10,270,291), which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. Appl. No.
`
`13/663,012, filed on Oct. 29, 2012 (U.S. Pat. No. 9,806,565)1. (Ex. 1001 at p. 1-2).
`
`
`
`1 U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 13/663,012 further claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to
`
`Korean Pat. App. No. 10-2012-0029987, filed March 23, 2012, and Korean Pat.
`
`App. No. 10-2012-0079004, filed July 19, 2012. (Ex. 1001 at p. 1).
`

`
`
`
`

`

`Patent Owner has proposed one substitute claim for each of original claims
`
`6, 16, and 17. Tables A-C below indicate the proposed amendments to claims 6,
`
`16, and 17, vis-à-vis substitute claims 21, 22, and 23, respectively, and where there
`
`is support for the substitute claims in the original disclosures of both (1) the ’740
`
`Patent (U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 16/264,360) (Ex. 2017) and (2) the earliest U.S. patent
`
`application in the ’740 Patent family (U.S. Pat. Appl. No. 13/663,012) (Ex. 2016),
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.121(b). Lectrosonics, Inc. v. Zaxcom, Inc., Case IPR2018-
`
`01129, 01130, Paper 15., p.7 (Feb. 25, 2019) (“New matter is any addition to the
`
`claims without support in the original disclosure.”) (citation omitted).

`
`The proposed substitute claims are supported by the original disclosure and
`
`therefore do not add new matter. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(ii).
`
`b. Substitute Claims Do Not Expand the Scope of the Claims of the
`’740 Patent
`
`As shown in Tables A-B and Appendix A, substitute independent claims 21
`
`and 22 further limit original claims 6 and 16, respectively, by adding thereto the
`
`requirement that the connecting unit is “discrete” and “separate from the coil, the
`
`first connection terminal, and the second connection terminal”. Additionally, the
`
`connecting unit is “connected to a circuit separate from the connecting unit.” Claim
`
`21 also recites that the “fourth connection terminal [is] connected to the second
`
`connection terminal at the inner end of the coil”.
`
`As shown in Table C and Appendix A, substitute claim 23 is dependent on
`
`and further limits substitute claim 22 by reciting further that in the claimed
`
`wireless power receiver “the third connection terminal is connected to the first
`
`10
`
`
`
`

`

`connection terminal horizontally within a boundary defining the receiving space”
`
`and “the fourth connection terminal is connected to the second connection terminal
`
`horizontally within the boundary defining the receiving space.”
`
`The proposed substitute claims 21, 22, and 23 retain essentially all
`
`limitations of their corresponding original claims and therefore do not expand the
`
`scope of original claims 6, 16, and 17, respectively. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(ii).
`
`c. Patent Owner Proposes a Reasonable Number of Substitute Claims
`
` “The presumption is that only one substitute claim would be needed to
`
`replace each challenged claim.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(3); Corning Optical
`
`Comm'n RF, LLC v. PPC Broadband, Inc., IPR2014-00441, Paper 19 at 3 (PTAB
`
`Oct. 30, 2014). As shown in Tables A-C above and Appendix A hereto, Patent
`
`Owner proposes only one substitute claim for each of original claims 6, 16, and 17.
`
`Accordingly, Patent Owner “propose[s] a reasonable number of substitute claims.”
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(3).
`
`d. The Proposed Substitute Claims Respond to the Instituted Grounds
`
`Petitioner asserts a single ground of invalidity, i.e., that that claims 6, 7, 16,
`
`17, 19, 20 of the ’740 Patent are obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) over
`
`2009/0021212 to Hasegawa et al. (“Hasegawa,” Ex.1005). (Pet. At 15). Claims 6
`
`and 16 are independent. Claim 7 is dependent on claim 6 and claims 17, 19, and 20
`
`are dependent on claim 16. (Ex. 1001, 19:61-20:21; 21:5-22:18).
`
`Petitioner argued in this regard that Hasegawa “teaches that its coil unit
`
`includes several elements that connect the power-receiving planar coil to the
`
`11
`
`
`
`

`

`portable telephone to charge it, including lead lines 34 and 35 (first and second
`
`connection terminals), coil connection pads 103, and the wiring pattern of substrate
`
`100 (together the connecting unit). (Pet. at 29).
`
`In response, Patent Owner noted “that the claims require a separate and
`
`discrete connecting unit that has connection terminals that connect to the
`
`connection terminals of the coil.” (Prelim. Resp at 11). Patent Owner further noted
`
`that “Hasegawa does not disclose a connecting unit [as claimed]—it merely
`
`discloses that the coil connects directly to the substrate, which itself contains
`
`circuit elements (such as a thermistor).” (Id.) In other words, the claimed
`
`connecting unit is a discrete assembly interposed between a separate coil assembly
`
`and circuit elements, unlike Hasegawa.
`
`In the institution decision, the Board stated that Patent Owner’s arguments
`
`are grounded in interpretation and, even though the connection unit is recited as a
`
`separate limitation, there is no express requirement that the connecting unit is a
`
`separate and discrete physical assembly or device. (Inst. Dec. at 21). Further, there
`
`is no express requirement that would “preclude the first and second terminals
`
`connected to the coil from being part of the connecting unit.” (Id.)
`
`Patent Owner submits that when properly construed, the claims at issue
`
`require a discrete connecting unit that is a separate and distinct assembly from the
`
`coil unit. Should the Board construe scope of the claims more broadly, substitute
`
`claims 21 and 22 expressly require Patent Owner’s interpretation of these claims.
`
`Hasegawa alone or in combination with any of the other references cited by
`
`Petitioner fails to disclose all the elements of claims 21 and 22.
`
`12
`
`
`
`

`

`Claims 21 and 22 recite that the “discrete connecting unit [is] separate from
`
`the coil, the first connection terminal, and the second connection terminal”, as well
`
`as the circuit connected to the connecting unit. As explained in Patent Owner’s
`
`response, Hasegawa fails to disclose this aspect of claims 21 and 22.
`
`Claim 21 further requires that the connecting unit’s fourth connection
`
`terminal is connected to the coil’s second connection terminal “at the inner end of
`
`the coil”, i.e., on the inside of the coil windings. Petitioner’s expert testified that
`
`Hasegawa does not disclose any detail regarding the inner structure of the coil 30.
`
`(Ex. 2018 50:21-23 (“Exhibit 1005 doesn’t disclose one way or another how that –
`
`that connection to the inner and outer ends of the spiral is made.”)). Moreover,
`
`with respect to Tabata (Ex. 1007), Petitioner’s expert agreed that Tabata does not
`
`disclose a physical connection, i.e., as a solder joint, at winding start point 32aa
`
`and end point 32bb at the inner and outer ends of the coil 30, respectively. (Ex.
`
`2018, 46:2-47:4). Collectively, the references therefore fail to disclose a physical
`
`connection between the coil connection terminal and the connecting unit terminal
`
`at the inside of the coil as recited in claim 21.
`
`Claim 23 requires that “the third connection terminal is connected to the first
`
`connection terminal horizontally within a boundary defining the receiving space,
`
`and [that] the fourth connection terminal is connected to the second connection
`
`terminal horizontally within the boundary defining
`
`the receiving space.”
`
`Petitioner’s expert also agreed that Hasegawa discloses that the connection pad 103
`
`to lead line 34, 35 connections when viewed from the top occur outside of
`
`13
`
`
`
`

`

`circumference of the planer coil 30 and therefore outside of the boundary of the
`
`adhesive spacer slit 62. (Ex. 2018, 58:6-59:12).
`
`The proposed substitute claims 21-23 therefore respond to the instituted
`
`ground. 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(i).
`
`e. CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`grant this contingent Motion to Amend should claims 6, 16, and 17 the ’740 Patent
`
`be found unpatentable.
