`Ground for Rejection
`
`} Ground 1: Claims 1-2 and 19-20
`} Bradford (Ex. 1004) in view of Foss (Ex. 1005) and Yamane (Ex. 1006)
`
`} Summary of Modifications to Bradford
`} Bradford alone teaches:
`} a player ID card storing a user ID
`} enrolling a new player
`} storing biometric information in local memory
`} later, comparing a user’s fingerprint to the enrolled biometric
`} located using the player ID card
`
`} Bradford modified by Foss to clarify that card data is received during
`enrollment
`
`} Bradford modified by Yamane
`to utilize a
`presence/absence of a fingerprint stored in memory

`

`Comparison of Parties’ Constructions Regarding “defining,
`dependent upon the received card information”
`
`} Apple’s Construction:
`} The card data (i.e., Bradford’s first authenticator data) “acts as a
`memory reference that points to a memory location” in a database
`
`} CPC’s Construction:
`} “Setting…” or “Establishing…” a memory location

`Petition’s Mapping for “defining, dependent
`upon the received card information”
`
`Ø Petition’s Mapping Identified Bradford’s Teachings of “pointing to” a Memory Location:

`

`Intrinsic Evidence Supports Apple’s
`Construction
`} “Pointing to…a memory location” is the only understanding of “defining…a
`memory location” supported by the Specification

`

`CPC’s Construction
`CPC’s Construction
`
`Petitioner repeatedly characterizes “defining, dependent upon the recetved
`
`card information” term with respect to Bradford as “to find” or “identifying.” See
`
`therefore fail to teach this claim limitation. /d., 9942-43.
`
`Pet., 19, 21. Defining, however, is not finding or identifying something that has
`
`already been defined. Ex. 2001, 941. Indeed, a POSITA would consider the word
`
`“defining,” especially in the context of enrollment,
`
`to mean “setting” or
`
`“establishing.” Jd.
`
`In other words, in the context of the claim language, a memory
`
`locationis set or established. Petitioner’s reliance on the verbs “find” and “identify”

`
`Benefits of Modification:
`(1) Simple, fast, accurate, and logical method to retrieve a
`partially completed player ID entry
`(2) Used a technique very well-known prior to the ’039
`Patent
`(3) Consistent with Bradford’s training process

`memory is

`(1) Determine if entry is “complete, valid, or enables”
`(2) Used a technique of setting flags that is very well-
