`Pressure sensitive adhesive = tape
`
`• To a POSITA, a disclosure of “pressure sensitive adhesive” is a
`disclosure of tape. See, e.g.:
`
`o Ex.1020, 438 (“[T]he quintessential PSA application is adhesive
`tape.”)
`
`o Ex.1024, 2 (“The oldest and most commonly known type of PSA is an
`adhesive tape.”)
`
`o Ex.1027, 832 (“The major application area for all pressure-sensitive
`adhesives is in tapes.”)
`
`o Ex.1032, 1:25-26. (“PSA compositions have been used as tapes, in
`particular as double-sided tapes used to adhere two articles
`together.”)

`

`Adhering a coil to a magnetic layer with double-sided tape was common
`
`• Beyond Lee, prior art is replete with examples of the specific
`combination. See, e.g.:
`
`o Ex.1013, 22:19-26 (“[T]he receiver coil L2 may be disposed and
`affixed on top of the magnetic shielding material 41 using double-
`sided adhesive tape.”)
`
`o Ex.1014, 5:44-48 (“An insulative double-faced tape or adhesive or the
`like is used … to adhere the upper face of first magnetic sheet 44 and
`the lower face of the charging coil 41.”)
`
`o Ex.1017, 25:21-25, 26:15-26, Fig. 13 (describing a “double-sided
`tape” between a magnetic sheet and a coil).

`Suzuki and Lee render obvious claims 1, 18, and 19
`
`Summary
`
`• Only issue in dispute: whether it was obvious to use double-side tape
`between a coil and a magnetic layer
`
`• Suzuki’s coil is “stuck on” its magnetic layer with “pressure sensitive
`adhesive” (i.e., tape)
`
`• Lee (and others) illustrate that it was routine to use double-sided tape to
`adhere a coil to magnetic layer
