`Patent Owner’s box drawing is based on unclaimed requirements
`
`Patent Owner argues that:
`
`•
`
`“[T]he claimed selection process includes the steps
`necessary for the reading device to engage in
`communications with the selected application, i.e., when
`the selected application is sufficiently addressed by the
`reading device to begin communicating with the data
`carrier.” PO Reply, 11.
`
`• Selection is complete “no later than when the reading
`device receives the identification number assigned to the
`application, or, when session numbers are used, no later
`than when the application is addressed uniquely with the
`session numbers.” PO Reply, 11.

`
`Summary
`
`• Guthery and Nozawa render the proposed substitute claims obvious
`under the Board’s interpretation.
`
