`U.S. Patent No. 9,269,208
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) requests Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) of
`
`Claims 1, 3-7, 9-11, and 13 (collectively, the “Challenged Claims”) of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 9,269,208 (“the ’208 Patent”). The purportedly distinguishing features of the
`
`Challenged Claims were (1) emitting a “secure” access signal in a secure access
`
`system; and (2) enrolling a new user’s fingerprint by providing control information
`
`via a sequence of presses of certain amount and duration. Both features were well-
`
`known before the ’208 Patent, rendering the Challenged Claims obvious. IPR of the
`
`Challenged Claims should thus be instituted.
`
`II.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE ’208 PATENT
`A. Description of the Alleged Invention
`The ’208 Patent describes a secure access system. At a transmitter subsystem,
`
`a sensor receives a fingerprint, matched against a stored fingerprint, and an
`
`accessibility attribute is outputted. A secure access signal carrying information
`
`corresponding to the accessibility attribute is transmitted to a receiver subsystem
`
`providing access to a controlled item. ’208 Patent, Abstract, 5:53–6:16, 6:62-65,
`
`8:15-28, FIG. 2.
`

`
`

`

`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2022-00601
`U.S. Patent No. 9,269,208
`
`
`
`The sensor may receive a series of fingerprint presses of certain duration that are
`
`compared to stored control signals. ’208 Patent, 10:45-67.
`
`B.
`Summary of Unpatentability of the Challenged Claims
`Access systems using biometrics to send a “secure access signal” were well-
`
`known. Mathiassen teaches a secure access system unlocking car doors, where a
`
`portable control emits an encrypted, single-use command. Mathiassen’s portable
`
`control includes a fingerprint sensor for authenticating to lock/unlock car doors.
`
`Mathiassen also teaches a user-input series of fingerprint representations instructing
`
`various commands. Upon matching a live fingerprint against a stored fingerprint, car
`
`door locks are opened.
`
`Mathiassen does not teach more than two types of access. McKeeth teaches
`
`providing different types of access when a user is under duress or unauthorized.
`

`
`

`

`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2022-00601
`U.S. Patent No. 9,269,208
`Although Mathiassen teaches inputting a command via a series of fingerprint
`
`representations, Mathiassen does not teach determining a duration of each entry.
`
`Anderson teaches inputting an access code including fingerprint presses of varying
`
`duration.
`
`Modifying Mathiassen’s portable control to provide duress and alert access in
`
`addition to the taught grant access and further modifying Mathiassen to determine a
`
`duration of the taught series of entries would have been obvious to a POSITA.
`
`C.
`Priority Date of the Challenged Claims
`The ’208 Patent was filed August 10, 2012, as U.S. Patent Application
`
`13/572,166
`
`(“’166 Application”). The
`
`’208 Patent claims priority
`
`to
`
`AU2003904317, filed August 13, 2003. ’208 Patent, (30).
`
`For this IPR only, Apple applies August 13, 2003 as the priority date for the
`
`Challenged Claims.
`
`D. Level of Skill of a POSITA
`A POSITA at the time of the ’208 Patent (August 13, 2003) would have had
`
`at least a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, computer science, electrical
`
`engineering, or a related field, with at least one year experience in the field of human-
`
`machine interfaces and device access security. Additional education or experience
`
`may substitute for the above requirements. Dec., 35-38.1

`III. REQUIREMENTS FOR IPR UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.104
`A. Grounds for Standing Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(a)
`Apple certifies the ’208 Patent is available for IPR and Apple is not barred or
`
`estopped from requesting IPR challenging the ’208 Patent. Apple is not the owner
`
`of the ’208 Patent, has not filed a civil action challenging the validity of any claim
`
`of the ’208 Patent, and this Petition is filed less than one year after Apple was served
`
`with a complaint alleging infringement of the ’208 Patent.
`
`B.
`
`Identification of Challenge Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b) and Relief
`Requested
`In view of this Petition, the Challenged Claims of the ’208 Patent are
`
`unpatentable and institution should be granted. 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(1); 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.104(b)(2).
`
`Proposed Grounds of Unpatentability
`Ground 1: Claims 1, 3-7, 9-11, and 13 are obvious under § 103(a) over Mathiassen
`(Ex. 1004) in view of McKeeth (Ex. 1005) and Anderson (Ex. 1006)
`
`
`
`Sections V-VI identify where each element of the Challenged Claims is found
`
`in the prior art. 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(4). The exhibit numbers of evidence relied
`
`upon to support the challenges are provided above and the relevance of evidence to
`
`the challenges raised is provided in Section IV. 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(5). Exhibits
`
`1001-1080 are attached.

`U.S. Patent No. 9,269,208
`C. Claim Construction Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(3)
`Claims are interpreted under the same standard applied by Article III courts
`
`(the Phillips standard). 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b); 83 Fed. Reg. 197 (Oct. 11, 2018);
`
`Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1312 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc). With the
`
`exceptions discussed below, Petitioner applies the plain and ordinary meaning of all
`
`claim terms. Petitioner does not waive any argument in any litigation that claim
`
`terms in the ’208 Patent are indefinite or additional terms need construction.
`
`In the related district court litigation involving Apple, a Markman Order was
`
`entered February 10, 2022. (Ex. 1077). Previously, the Parties agreed to certain
`
`constructions in a Joint Claim Construction Statement (JCCS). (Ex. 1074). In a
`
`communication from the District Court to the Parties on February 10, 2022, the
`
`Court ordered CPC to narrow its asserted claims and for the Parties to meet and
`
`confer on claim terms not addressed in the Claim Construction Order. (Ex. 1078).
`
`CPC sent an email to the Court on February 14, 2022 (Ex. 1079), agreeing to Apple’s
`
`proposed construction for two means-plus-function terms and further narrowing its
`
`asserted claims to thereby remove the claims having remaining means-plus-function
`
`terms that were not construed. Additionally, another district court litigation
`
`involving defendant HMD resulted in a Markman Order. (Ex. 1080).
`
`For purposes of this IPR, Apple applies (1) the constructions from the
`
`Markman Order for the Apple case, where applicable; (2) the Parties’ agreed-upon
`
`5
`
`

`

`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2022-00601
`U.S. Patent No. 9,269,208
`constructions, where applicable; and (3) CPC’s constructions, where there is no
`
`construction from the Court nor did the Parties agree to a construction. The below
`
`chart indicates whether the constructions was from the Court, agreed to by the
`
`Parties, or CPC’s construction.
`
`Regarding CPC’s constructions from the Apple litigation, CPC served Initial
`
`Constructions (Ex. 1072) on October 27, 2021, and updated constructions (Ex. 1073)
`
`on November 3, 2021. The Parties served the JCCS (Ex. 1074) on January 12, 2022.
`

`Constructions Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6
`Certain Challenged Claims include limitations in means-plus-function format,
`
`creating a rebuttable presumption CPC intended to invoke § 112(6).

`IV. THE CITED REFERENCES ARE ANALOGOUS PRIOR ART
`Mathiassen, a U.S. patent application filed December 18, 2002, and published
`
`June 24, 2004, qualifies as prior art under § 102(e). Mathiassen teaches a secure
`
`access system transmitting wireless signals providing access to a controlled item.
`
`Mathiassen, [0175-186]. Mathiassen teaches enrolling an administrator’s biometric
`
`and inputting a series of fingerprint representations instructing a command.
`
`Mathiassen, [0162-0165], [0192]. Because Mathiassen, like the ’208 Patent,
`
`discloses a system providing secure access to a controlled item, Mathiassen is in the
`
`same field of endeavor and is pertinent to the ’208 Patent’s problem to solve. Dec.,
`
`84-91. Mathiassen is analogous art.
`
`McKeeth, a U.S. patent filed February 23, 2000, and issued July 20, 2004,
`
`qualifies as prior art to the ’208 Patent under § 102(e). McKeeth teaches a computer
`
`system granting access and issuing an alert when a user is under duress or denying
`
`access when a user is unauthorized. McKeeth, 4:28-35, 5:48-53. Because McKeeth,
`
`like the ’208 Patent, discloses a system for providing or denying access, McKeeth is
`
`in the same field of endeavor and is pertinent to the ’208 Patent’s problem to solve.
`
`Dec., 92-96. McKeeth is analogous art.
`
`Anderson, a U.S. patent filed September 1, 1999, and issued January 21, 2003,
`
`qualifies as prior art to the ’208 Patent under § 102(e). Anderson teaches inputting a
`
`fingerprint code to a touch interface via “temporal variations.” Anderson, 7:1-39.

`Because Anderson, like the ’208 Patent, discloses providing a series of biometric
`
`entries authenticating a user and enabling a function, Anderson is in the same field
`
`of endeavor and is pertinent to the ’208 Patent’s problem to solve. Dec., 97-103.
`
`Anderson is analogous art.
`
`V. MATHIASSEN’S COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
`The Court and CPC construe the structure of means-plus-function terms as a
`
`“computer program product having a computer readable medium having a computer
`
`program recorded therein, comprising code,” with some terms including additional
`
`database structure. See Section III.C.1. Mathiassen teaches an integrated circuit (IC)
`
`as the “core device” of the secure access system that includes a non-volatile memory
`
`7/7A containing “program code, e.g., administrative software.” Mathiassen, [0048,
`
`0050]. This administrative software includes algorithms for providing secure access,
`
`such as a matching and SKG algorithm. Mathiassen, [0050, 0072, 0076]. Movement
`
`analyzing and translation software are additionally described as providing secure
`
`access. Mathiassen, [0192]. A POSITA would have understood or found it obvious
`
`these software products are stored in non-volatile memory of IC 1, which already
`
`stores other program code (i.e., administrative software). Dec. 32.
`
`Non-volatile memory is a well-known “computer readable medium.” See
`
`Mathiassen, Claim 13. Mathiassen describes software as “program code” [0050]
`
`containing algorithms. Mathiassen, [0072, 0076]. A POSITA would have
`
`11
`
`

`

`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2022-00601
`U.S. Patent No. 9,269,208
`understood Mathiassen’s software stored in non-volatile memory teaches or renders
`
`obvious a “computer program product having a computer readable medium having
`
`a computer program recorded therein, comprising code.” Dec. 33.
`
`Apple applies this Section V discussion for each claimed “means for” and
`
`corresponding “computer program product” structure to avoid repetitive mapping.
`
`VI. GROUND 1: CLAIMS 1, 3-7, 9-11, AND 13 ARE OBVIOUS OVER
`MATHIASSEN, MCKEETH, AND ANDERSON
`Claim 10 is mapped first because it recites “more than two types of access.”
`
`A. Claim 102
`1.
`Claim 10(Pre1)
`To the extent the preamble is limiting, Mathiassen teaches a method for
`
`providing secure access to a controlled item. Mathiassen, [0018]; Dec., 111-112.
`
`Mathiassen teaches a “portable access device…for allowing only authorized users
`
`access to an access-limited apparatus, device, network or system….” Mathiassen,
`
`[0016], Abstract. Mathiassen discloses access-limited apparatus (“controlled items”)
`
`including a USB interface ([0054]), hotel safe ([0119]), medicine cabinet ([0122-
`
`0123]), and portable control 20 for unlocking a car ([0145-0147]). Mathiassen
`
`teaches “a method of providing secured access control and user input in stand-alone
`
`appliances….”3 Mathiassen, Abstract; Dec., 111-112.

`Mathiassen teaches a “system” implementing this “method of providing
`
`secured access control.” Mathiassen, Abstract. Integrated circuit (IC) 1 couples with
`
`a “biometric sensor” for performing secure access control. Mathiassen, [0048-0050],
`
`FIGs. 2A-2B; Dec., 113 (opining the IC is used for the portable control 20 of
`
`Mathiassen, [0147]). The IC includes components, such as processor 2 and non-
`
`volatile memory 7,7A,7E, and function blocks, such as pre-processing block 5C for
`
`processing the biometric and encryption blocks 8,8B,8C. Id. In some embodiments,
`
`the IC is coupled with a network [0053], while in other embodiments IC is used in
`
`“stand-alone applications,” such as “within a car” [0108].
`
`In stand-alone applications, such as portable control 20, Mathiassen’s
`
`“system” includes fingerprint sensor 5 and transceiver 27 (both housed in unit 20),
`
`and ignition control 15 (including IC 1), a central car computer, door locks, and
`
`transceivers of the central car computer and door locks (each of which resides in the
`
`car). Mathiassen, [0167-0168], [0186-0188]. Portable control 20 connects to the
`
`ignition control via the central computer’s transceiver:

`
`
`
`Mathiassen, Fig. 8, [0147], [0149], [0186]; Dec., 114-115.
`
`Claim 10’s mapping relies on Mathiassen's portable control 20 embodiment,
`
`where the “controlled item” is Mathiassen’s door locks in the “central locking
`
`system.” The portable control remotely controls door locks. Mathiassen, [0145];
`
`Dec., 116. Mathiassen’s IC ([0048-0050]) is used in each embodiment, including
`
`the car door lock embodiment, where it resides in the portable door control. Dec.,
