`

`Overview of the Grounds
`
`Ground
`
`Ground 1
`
`Basis
`Claims 1-18 are obvious over Aristocrat and a

`

`The Parties' Disputes
`
`1. Does Aristocrat teach the claimed message output steps under
`Patent Owner's erroneous, narrow construction?
`
`2. Do the claims require the output of two messages?
`
`3. Does the prior art teach tracking information "associated with
`[an] identified player"?

`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`

`
`

`

`1. Does Aristocrat teach the claimed message output steps
`under Patent Owner's erroneous, narrow construction?
`
`Yes, Aristocrat teaches outputting multiple messages after
`the occurrence of a trigger condition.
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`

`
`

`

`Patent Owner's Sur-Reply Mischaracterizes Aristocrat and the
`Petition
`
`Patent Owner:
`
`But:
`
`• Aristocrat DOES TEACH outputting
`multiple messages following a single
`triggering event
`
`• The Petition DID NOT argue that
`Aristocrat's system is limited such that
`it always "track[s]" both the first and
`second set of information at the same
`time

`

`Aristocrat Does Teach Outputting Multiple Messages
`Following a Single Triggering Event
`
`Ex 1004, Aristocrat, 6:9-13, 26:34-27:2

`

`Aristocrat Does Teach Outputting Multiple Messages

`

`Petitioner Is Permitted to Reply to Patent Owner's Arguments
`Under These Circumstances
`
`“[T]he petitioner in an inter partes review proceeding may
`introduce new evidence after the petition stage if the
`evidence is a legitimate reply to evidence introduced by the
`patent owner.”
`
`Apple Inc. v. Andrea Elecs. Corp., 949 F.3d 697, 706 (Fed. Cir. 2020)
`(quoting Anacor Pharms., Inc. v. Iancu, 889 F.3d 1372, 1380-81 (Fed. Cir. 2018))

`

`
`

`

`Prior to the Petition, Patent Owner Did Not Interpret the Claims As
`Requiring Multiple Message Outputs After One Triggering Event
`"first message"
`"second message"
`
`. . .

`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 22)
`

`
`

`

`As Noted in the Petition, Aristocrat Also Discloses that One or
`More Sets of Information Can Be Tracked at a Time
`
`Paper 1, Petition at 17
`
`Ex. 1004, Aristocrat, 11:8-16
`(See also Paper 1, Petition at 17)
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE

`
`

`

`As Argued in the Petition, Aristocrat Also Discloses that Different
`Sets of Information Can Be Tracked At Different Times

`IPR2022-00200
`

`

`2. Do the claims require the output of two
`messages?
`
`No.
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`17
`
`

`

`Patent Owner's Narrow Construction Is Inconsistent with
`the Claims
`
`• Tracking both sets of information at
`the same time is not required
`
`• Steps (c) and (d) are conditional and
`independent of each other
`
`•
`
`Includes no timing requirement for
`either tracking or message output
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent at Claim 9
`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 3-8)

`
`

`

`The '064 Patent Explains that No Particular Message
`Output Timing Is Required
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent, 23:39-49
`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 9)
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE

`
`

`

`The '064 Patent Includes Embodiments Where Messages Are Not
`Output Simultaneously
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent, 61:42-46
`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 9-10)
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`20
`
`

`

`The '064 Patent Teaches that Determined Messages Can
`be Queued For Later Output
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent, 51:13-16, Fig. 14A
`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 9)

`
`

`

`3. Does the prior art teach tracking information
`"associated with [an] identified player"?
`
`Yes.
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`22
`
`

`

`Patent Owner's Understanding of "Information Associated with the Identified
`Player" Excludes the Subject Matter of the '064 Patent's Dependent Claims
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent at Claim 4
`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 18)
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`23
`
`

`

`The '064 Patent Specification Confirms that "Information Associated
`with the Identified Player" Includes Game Play Information
`
`IPR2022-00200
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent, 17:48-54, 51:17-47
`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 20)
`24
`
`

`

`The Information Tracked by Aristocrat Is Indistinguishable
`from that in the '064 Patent's Own Examples
`'064 Patent
`Aristocrat
`
`Ex 1001, '064 Patent, 19:65-67, 51:17-21

`(see also Paper 18, Reply at 20-21)

`

`

`Aristocrat Repeatedly States that It Tracks "Player" Information
