`

`I, Joshua Phinney, Ph.D., declare:
`
`A.
`
`Introduction
`1.
`I am making this supplemental declaration at the request of Apple Inc.
`
`in the matter of the Inter Partes Review IPR2022-00350 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`9,806,565 (the “’565 Patent”) to An et al. The terms of my engagement, my
`
`background and qualifications, prior testimony, and the legal standards and claim
`
`constructions that I am applying are set forth in my previous CV and declaration.
`
`See Ex.1003; Ex.1004.
`
`2.
`
`In the preparation of this declaration, I have studied the materials
`
`noted in my previous declaration, as well as the following additional materials:
`
`(1) Ex.1023 – Certified English Translation of Japanese Patent Publication
`
`JP2011-210937 to Goma et al. (“Goma”), Japanese Language Version

`

`

`B. A POSITA would have found substitute claims 21-23 obvious over Goma
`in view of Park.
`4.
`I have been asked to provide my opinion as to whether Substitute
`
`Claims 21, 22, and 23 in Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend (“Motion,” Paper 18)
`
`would have been obvious in view of prior art. The discussion below provides a
`
`detailed analysis of how JP2011-210937 to Goma et al. (“Goma,” Ex.1023) in
`
`view of U.S. Patent No. 8,922,162 to Park et al. (“Park,” Ex. 1006) renders
`
`obvious the limitations of the substitute claims.
`
`a. Summary of Goma
`Like the’565 Patent, Goma relates to a “coil module for contactless
`
`5.
`
`power transmission” for electronic devices. Ex.1023, [0002]. Goma also describes
`
`that its “coil module” may be used in “electronic devices such as communication
`
`devices.” Id. at [0001]-[0002].
`
`6.
`
` Figs. 1 and 2 of Goma, reproduced and annotated below, illustrate a
`
`coil module 1 having a “resin structure 3” that includes an “opening 32” of a
`
`rectangular shape to receive a rectangular “circuit board 4.” Id. at [0031], [0037].
`
`The resin structure 3 and the opening 32 are formed by a “mold” with a specific
`
`shape. Id. at [0039]. Goma teaches that the “coil 2 is formed into a coil” or spiral
`
`shape with a “conductor such as a copper wire” disposed on and within the “resin
`
`structure 3”. Id. at [0032].

`
`
`Additionally, as shown in Fig. 1 above, Goma’s circuit board 4 is disposed in the
`
`opening 32 and is connected to the wires 21 of the coil 2. The coil 2 is disposed on
`
`the resin structure 3, and the wire 21 of the coil 2 is connected to the circuit board
`
`4. Additionally, Goma’s circuit board 4 overlaps the opening 32 and extends in a
`
`second direction parallel to the upper surface of the resin structure 3. These
`
`components of the “coil module 1” provide “contactless power transmission” in an
`
`“electronic device on the power receiving side.” Id. at [0001]-[0002]. Therefore,
`
`

`

`the coil 2 is configured for “contactless” power reception. Id.
`
`b. Summary of Park
`Like Goma and the ’565 Patent, Park relates to a device for wireless
`
`7.
`
`charging. See Park, Abstract. Park explains in its background section that it was
`
`known to include both a wireless charging coil and NFC antenna on the same
`
`portable device: “To implement both the NFC function and the wireless charging
`
`function in a single portable terminal, an NFC antenna element taking the form of a
`
`loop antenna and a secondary coil for wireless charging should be mounted in the
`
`portable terminal.” Ex.1006, 1:54-59.
`
`Park describes an improvement upon this known concept: “[T]he present invention
`
`is to provide a portable terminal having a structure that facilitates mounting of a
`
`secondary coil for wireless charging and a Near Field Communication (NFC)
`
`antenna element, without increasing the thickness of the portable terminal.” Id. at
`
`2:11-15. Park does this by having “a first coil for wireless charging and a second
`
`coil for the NFC function on the same plane.” Id. at 5:63-65.

`Accordingly, Park provides evidence that it was known for a portable device to

`include both a wireless charging coil and a near field communication antenna,
`
`particularly in recessed accommodation grooves on the same plane.
`
`c. Detailed Analysis
`The following claim chart describes how the Goma reference in view
`

`
`of the Park reference renders obvious the Substitute Claims 21, 22, and 23.

`
`Prior Art
`Goma discloses a wireless power receiver.

`

`comprising:
`
`
`
`coil module 1 (wireless power receiver)
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex.1023, Fig. 1 (annotated)
`
`
`Specifically, as shown above in Fig. 1, Goma discloses a “coil
`module” (wireless power receiver) for “contactless power
`transmission” in an “electronic device on the power receiving
`side.” Ex.1023, [0001], [0002] (describing a “coil module for
`contactless power transmission in each of the electronic devices
`on the power transmitting side and the electronic device on the
`power receiving side”), [0030], [0036], FIG. 1-3.
`Goma discloses “a substrate comprising a receiving space of a
`predetermined shape formed therein for a discrete connecting unit
`configured to connect to a wireless power receiving circuit.”
`
`In particular, Goma teaches that its coil module includes a “resin
`structure 3” (substrate) made of a “curable resin in which a
`magnetic material such as ferrite or the like is mixed into a powder
`is molded into a flat plate.” Ex.1023, [0031], [0033].
`The resin structure 3 includes an “opening 32” (receiving space)
`of a rectangular shape to receive a rectangular “circuit board 4”
`(connecting unit) configured to “mount the coil module 1 to the
`electronic device.” Ex.1023, [0031], [0037].
`
`Figs. 1 and 2 of Goma, annotated below, illustrate resin structure 3

`
`
`
`
`
`
`circuit board 4 in opening 32
`Ex.1023, Fig. 2 (annotated)
`
`
`Goma explains that the resin structure 3 and the opening 32
`therein are formed by a “mold” with a specific shape so that the
`“coil 2 and a portion of the circuit board 4 are exposed to the
`exterior at one face 31 of the resin structure 3.” Ex.1023, [0039].
`That is, the opening 32 (receiving space) is of a predetermined
`shape to accommodate and expose the circuit board 4 (connecting
`unit).
`
`With respect to the recitation that the claimed connecting unit be
`“configured to connect to a wireless power receiving circuit,”
`Goma explains that the circuit board 4 (connecting unit) connects
`to an electronic component 41 (wireless power receiving circuit)
`that includes “a rectifier circuit, a regulator circuit, and a charge-
`control circuit”. Ex.1023, [0036]. I note that the ‘565 Patent
`
`
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex.1024 / IPR2022-00350 / Page 9 of 34
`APPLE INC. v. SCRAMOGE TECHNOLOGY LTD.
`
`

`

`specification states that “the wireless power receiving circuit may
`include a rectifier circuit.” Ex.1001, 5:31-32.
`
`As shown in Fig. 3(b) and (c) below, during manufacture, the
`circuit module 43 with electronic component 41 (wireless power
`receiving circuit) is connected to circuit board 4 (wireless power
`receiving circuit), which is a discrete component. Ex.1023,
`[0038]-[0039].
`
`
`
`
`Ex.1023, Fig. 3 (annotated and cropped)
`
`
`Accordingly, Goma’s teaching of a resin structure 3 comprising an
`opening 32 of a predetermined rectangular shape formed therein
`for the discrete circuit board 4 configured to connect to a rectifier
`circuit renders obvious “a substrate comprising a receiving space
`of a predetermined shape formed therein for a discrete connecting
`unit configured to connect to a wireless power receiving circuit,”
`as claimed.
`Goma discloses “a coil unit disposed on the substrate, the coil unit
`comprising a first connection terminal, a second connection
`terminal, and a coil.”
`
`As shown in annotated Fig. 1 below, Goma teaches that “the coil
`module 1 is equipped with a flat, plate-shaped coil 2” (coil unit)
`that is disposed on a surface of the resin structure 3 (substrate).
`Ex.1023, [0031], [0033].

`(coil unit)
`
`
`
`
`Ex.1023, Fig. 1 (annotated)
`
`
`
`As shown in annotated Fig. 3 below, the coil 2 includes a “circular
`shape” portion (coil) and also first and second “wire 21” portions
`(first and second connection terminals) that are “connected to the
`coil connection terminal 45 formed on the circuit board 4 using
`solder or the like.” Ex.1023, [0038].

`
`
`Further, a POSITA would have understood that a connection
`terminal in the electrical engineering arts is not limited to a
`particular shape but can take on many different shapes, including
`an elongated shape when connected to the ends of a coil. A
`POSITA would also understand that the free ends/leads connected
`to a coil conductor are terminals, specifically “connection
`terminals” that electrically connect the coil to the surrounding
`circuit.
`
`
`
`[21.3] short-
`
`Goma in view of Park renders obvious the limitation: “short-range
`

`

`

`range
`communication
`antenna
`disposed on the
`substrate and
`surrounding the
`coil;
`
`communication antenna disposed on the substrate and surrounding
`the coil.”
`
`In particular, Goma discloses that its wireless power receiver is
`intended to be used in “electronic devices such as communication
`devices.” Ex.1023, [0001]-[0002].
`
`Although Goma does not explicitly teach that a short-range
`communication antenna may be disposed around the power-
`receiving coil 2, it was common prior to the ’565 patent for
`communication devices like the one in Goma to include such a
`communication antenna. For example, Park explains in its
`background section that it was known to include both a wireless
`charging coil and NFC antenna in the same portable device: “To
`implement both the NFC function and the wireless charging
`function in a single portable terminal, an NFC antenna element
`taking the form of a loop antenna and a secondary coil for wireless
`charging should be mounted in the portable terminal.” Ex.1006,
`1:54-58. Park describes an improvement upon this known concept
`“without increasing the thickness of the portable terminal.”
`Ex.1006, 2:10-15. Park does this by having “a first coil for
`wireless charging and a second coil for the NFC function on the
`same plane.” Ex.1006, 5:63-65. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4 of
`Park, NFC coil 135 “surrounds” wireless charging coil 133, where
`the two coils are disposed on the same substrate 131. Ex.1006,
`3:56-64.

`
`

`

`
`It is my opinion that before the ’565 patent, it would have been
`obvious, beneficial, and predictable for Goma’s device to include
`an NFC coil surrounding its wireless charging coil, as taught by
`Park.
`
`As an initial matter, Park is analogous prior art pertaining to the
`same field of endeavor as Goma, namely, contactless charging of a
`communication device via electromechanical induction. See
`Ex.1023, [0001]-[0002]; Ex.1006, Abstract. Park explains that
`“[a]s portable terminals have become a daily commodity, they are
`equipped with the NFC function.” Ex.1006, 1:24-33. Park further
`explains that to implement an NFC-capable portable terminal, the
`“portable terminal is provided with an additional antenna for
`performing the NFC function.” Ex.1006, 1:31-33. Thus, as a
`baseline, it was well known and obvious for a portable terminal,
`such as Goma’s, to include an NFC antenna coil as well as a
`wireless charging coil.
`
`One of ordinary skill in the art would have been specifically
`motivated to implement Goma’s device with an NFC coil because
`as of the earliest alleged priority date of the ’565 patent, NFC was
`a standardized data transmission protocol with a multitude of
`commercial applications and advantages over other short-range
`wireless communication protocols. See Ex.1009, 2:9-26; Ex.1010,
`2:64-3:6, 3:66-4:11.
`
`For example, at the time, “[f]amiliar applications of NFC protocol
`technology [were] electronic pass keys used in building security
`systems, mass transit fare card systems, and smart credit cards
`which need only to be brought close to a point of sale reader to
`complete a transaction.” Ex.1010, 4:7-11; see also Ex.1006, 1:27-
`29. Relative to other short-range wireless protocols, “NFC
`technology provides an advantage of fast communication setup
`between communication devices.” Ex.1006, 1:33-36. Further, “the
`intuitive operation of NFC protocol systems makes the technology
`particularly easy for consumers to use (‘just touch and go’).”
`Ex.1010, 4:2-5. Accordingly, a person of ordinary skill in the art
`
`
`
`13
`
`Ex.1024 / IPR2022-00350 / Page 13 of 34
`APPLE INC. v. SCRAMOGE TECHNOLOGY LTD.
`
`

`

`would have been motivated to apply Park’s teachings regarding an
`NFC coil to Goma’s portable device. Doing so would allow
`Goma’s mobile device to be easily used for transactions in a
`variety of commercial applications.
`
`
`As an aspect of implementing Park’s teaching of an NFC coil in
`Goma’s device, a POSITA would have found it obvious to locate
`the NFC coil such that it surrounds Goma’s wireless charging coil
`in accommodating grooves, as taught by Park. Specifically, Park
`teaches and illustrates in Figs. 3 and 4 (reproduced above) that its
`NFC coil 135 is “surrounding” its wireless charging coil 133 in
`grooves 141 and 142. Ex.1006, 2:25-31, Figs. 3, 4. A POSITA
`would have found it advantageous to use Park’s arrangement in
`which the NFC coil surrounds the wireless power coil, due to the
`different frequencies at which the different wireless protocols
`operate. See e.g., Ex.1019, 17:49-59 (“Since the NFC antenna coil
`41 has a higher frequency band than the wireless charger antenna
`coil 43, the NFC antenna coil 41 is formed … along the outside of
`the substrate 49 … [and] the wireless charger antenna coil 43 is
`formed in the inside of the NFC antenna coil 41.”). For this same
`reason, a POSITA would have arranged Goma’s NFC coil to
`surround its power-receiving coil 16.
`
`Not only would utilizing Park’s teachings regarding an NFC coil
`in Goma’s wireless power receiver have been advantageous, but a
`POSITA would have also found doing so straightforward and
`predictable given that the combination utilizes Park’s NFC coil
`precisely as it was intended—as a companion to a wireless power
`receiving coil in a portable device. A POSITA would have had a
`reasonable expectation of success because the combination does
`not change the intended functionality of either Goma’s power
`receiver or Park’s NFC coil. Park’s NFC coil was specifically
`intended to be implemented in wireless power receivers ready for
`improvement, such as Goma’s device. A POSITA would have
`further had a reasonable expectation of success in making the
`combination because the NFC wireless protocol was standardized
`and commercially available. See Ex.1009, 2:9-26; Ex.1010, 2:64-
`
`
`

`
`Ex.1024 / IPR2022-00350 / Page 14 of 34
`APPLE INC. v. SCRAMOGE TECHNOLOGY LTD.
`
`

`

`3:6. Implementing standardized and commercially available
`components within a mechanical device such as Goma’s device
`would have been well within the skill of a person of ordinary skill
`in the art in 2012.
`
`
`Accordingly, the combination of Goma and Park simply represents
`the combination of a known element (Park’s NFC coil) with
`Goma’s known contactless power transmission apparatus
`according to known methods to yield a predictable result (a
`portable terminal with both NFC and wireless charging
`capabilities).
`Goma discloses that: “the coil is configured to wirelessly receive
`power, wherein the coil is formed as a conductive pattern on or
`within the substrate.”

`

`
`As shown in annotated Figs. 1 and 2 above, Goma teaches that the
`“coil 2 is formed into a coil shape” with a “conductor such as a
`copper wire” and disposed on and within “resin structure 3”
`(substrate). Ex.1023, [0032].
`
`As discussed above, the coil is configured for “contactless” power
`reception. Ex.1023, [0001], [0002] (describing “coil module for
`contactless power transmission in each of the electronic devices on
`the power transmitting side and the electronic device on the power
`receiving side”), [0030], [0036], FIG. 1-3.
`
`Goma discloses: “the conductive pattern comprises a conductive
`line wound at least two times and conductive pattern has a spiral
`shape.”
`
`As shown in annotated Fig. 1 below, Goma teaches that the coil 2
`is a “conductive” wire wound more than two times and has a spiral
`shape. Ex.1023, [0032].

`other end of the coil.”
`
`As described in [21.2] and illustrated in Fig. 3 below, the coil 2
`includes first and second “wire 21” portions (first and second
`connection terminals), where the first wire 21 (first connection
`terminal) is located at the outer end of the coil and the second wire
`21 (second connection terminal) is located at the inner end of the
