`Gist of PO’s argument
`
`PO: The “first signal” must contain location information
`
`Response: PO’s argument relies on features not actually required by the claims
`
`Response: Hashimoto’s “call signal” is just like the first signal in the ’855 patent

`

`The claimed first signal does not recite any specific information
`
`PO chose to claim broadly—without stating that the first
`signal contains any specific information
`
`The first signal is usable as part of a location determining
`process, e.g. to initiate the location determining process

`’855 patent confirms that the first signal
`does not need to include location information
`
`No example “first signal” in the ’855 patent contains any
`location information
`
`Ex-1001 at 8:4-7
`
`The only example information discussed as contained in a
`“first signal” are “identification codes,” which are not location
`information

`PO: The “first identification code” incudes a negative limitation, so it
`cannot identify the second tracking device
