`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`Apple Inc. (“Apple”) respectfully submits this Motion for Joinder,
`
`I.
`
`concurrently with a Petition (“Apple’s Petition”) for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,280,072 (“the ’072 Patent”).
`
` Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 315(c) and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.22 and 42.122(b), Apple
`
`requests institution of an inter partes review and joinder with IPR2022-00213
`
`(“Samsung IPR”), which was instituted on June 8, 2022. Samsung Electronics Co.
`
`Ltd. et al. v. Jawbone Innovations, LLC, IPR2022-00213, Paper 10 (PTAB June 8,
`
`2022). Apple’s Petition is substantively the same as the Samsung IPR petition. It
`
`challenges the same claims, on the same grounds, relies on the same prior art as
`
`instituted in the Samsung IPR, and relies on the same expert declaration. Therefore,
`
`joinder would create no additional burden for the Board, the Samsung IPR Petitioner
`
`(“Samsung”), or Patent Owner if joined. Joinder would therefore lead to an efficient
`
`resolution of the validity of the ’072 Patent.
`
`Apple is currently a defendant in a district court litigation in the Western
`
`District of Texas, Case No. 6:21-cv-00984 (W.D. Tex.). In that proceeding, Apple
`
`has been accused of infringing the ’072 Patent. Apple has not previously filed a
`
`petition for IPR challenging the validity of the ’072 Patent.1
`
`
`
`1 Apple is concurrently filing a second petition for IPR against the ’072 Patent on
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`Apple stipulates that if joinder is granted, it will act as an “understudy” and
`
`will not assume an active role unless Samsung ceases to participate in the
`
`proceeding. Samsung will maintain the lead role in the proceeding so long as it
`
`remains in the proceeding. These limitations will avoid lengthy and duplicative
`
`briefing. Apple also will not seek additional depositions or deposition time. Joinder
`
`will not impact the trial schedule because the proceeding based on the Samsung IPR
`
`is in its early stages, having just instituted on June 8, 2022.
`
`In fact, joinder will help efficiently resolve the disputes among the parties. By
`
`joinder, a single Board decision may dispose of the issues raised in the Samsung IPR
`
`for all interested parties.
`
`Joinder will not unduly prejudice any party. Because joinder will not add any
`
`new substantive issues, delay the schedule, burden deponents, or needlessly increase
`
`filings, any additional costs on Patent Owner will be minimal. On the other hand,
`
`denial of joinder would prejudice Apple. Apple’s interests may not be adequately
`
`protected in the Samsung IPR, particularly if Samsung settles with Patent Owner and
`
`ceases to participate. Apple should be allowed to join in a proceeding affecting a
`
`patent asserted against it.
`
`Given the similarities of the proceedings, the lack of undue prejudice to Patent
`
`
`
`different grounds and relying on different references. See IPR2022-01244.

`
`

`

`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`Owner, and the potential benefit to the public and to the Board that would accrue by
`
`Apple’s cooperative participation in the Samsung IPR in the event that Samsung’s
`
`participation terminates, the Board should institute IPR and grant Apple’s Motion
`
`for Joinder.
`
`II. ARGUMENT
`
`A. Legal Standards and Applicable Rules
`
`A petitioner may request joinder, without prior authorization, no later than
`
`one month after the institution date of the proceeding to which joinder is requested.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b); Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co., Ltd. v. Zond LLC,
`
`IPR2014-00781 and IPR2014-00782, Paper 5 at 3 (PTAB May 29, 2014).
`
`The Board has discretion to grant a motion for joinder of a petitioner for
`
`inter partes review to another inter partes review proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. §
`
`315(c). In determining whether to exercise its discretion to grant a motion for
`
`joinder, the Board considers: (1) reasons why joinder is appropriate; (2) any new
`
`grounds of unpatentability asserted in the petition; (3) what impact (if any) joinder
`
`would have on the trial schedule for the existing review; and (4) specifically how
`
`briefing and discovery may be simplified. See Dell, Inc. v. Network-1 Security
`
`Solutions, Inc., IPR201300385, Paper 17 at 3 (July 29, 2013).
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`B. Apple’s Motion for Joinder is Timely
`Joinder may be requested “no later than one month after the institution date
`
`of any inter partes review for which joinder is requested.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b).
`
`The Samsung IPR was instituted on June 8, 2022. IPR2022-00213, Paper 10
`
`(PTAB June 8, 2022). Apple’s current motion is timely as it is being filed within
`
`one month of the institution date.
`
`C. The Four Factors Favor Joinder
`Each of the four factors weighs in favor of granting Apple’s Motion for
`
`Joinder. Apple’s Petition is substantively identical to the petition in the Samsung
`
`IPR; it presents no new grounds of unpatentability. Joinder will have no impact
`
`on the pending schedule of the Samsung IPR. Moreover, the briefing and
`
`discovery will be simplified by resolving all issues in a single proceeding.
`
`1.
`
`Joinder of Apple Is Appropriate Because It Will Promote
`an Efficient Determination of the Validity of the ’072
`Patent Without Prejudice to Any Party
`Apple seeks to join the Samsung IPR in order to ensure that an accused
`
`infringer with an active interest in the proceeding remains a party to this IPR if
`
`Samsung’s participation is terminated prior to completion. Thus, joining Apple to
`
`the Samsung IPR is the most practical way to secure the just, speedy, and
`
`inexpensive resolution of the challenge to the ’072 Patent. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b).
`
`If Apple is joined as a party, the validity of the grounds raised in the
`
`4
`
`

`

`Samsung IPR can be determined in a single proceeding. Joinder also is appropriate
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`because Apple’s Petition challenges the validity of the same claims of the ’072
`
`Patent on identical grounds to those in the Samsung IPR. There are no substantive
`
`differences between Apple’s Petition and the Samsung IPR Petition. Apple also
`
`relies on the same substantive evidence in its Petition as is relied on in the Samsung
`
`IPR. A consolidated proceeding, including Apple and Samsung, will therefore be
`
`more efficient and less wasteful, as only a single trial on these common grounds
`
`would be required. See, e.g., Oracle America Inc. v. Realtime Data LLC, IPR2016-
`
`01672, Paper 13 at 7 (PTAB Mar. 7, 2017) (noting that “joining Oracle’s identical
`
`challenges to those in the 1002 IPR will lead to greater efficiency while reducing
`
`the resources necessary from both Realtime and the Board”). The Board “routinely
`
`grants motions for joinder where the party seeking joinder introduces identical
`
`arguments and the same grounds raised in the existing proceeding.” Samsung
`
`Elecs. Co., Ltd. v. Raytheon Co., IPR2016- 00962, Paper 12 at 9 (PTAB Aug. 24,
`
`2016) (internal quotations and citations omitted).
`
`Joining Apple as a party to the Samsung IPR would promote the public
`
`interest relating to the unpatentability of the ’072 Patent and not cause any undue
`
`prejudice to Patent Owner or Samsung. The Patent Owner must respond to the
`
`common invalidity grounds regardless of joinder.
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`2.
`
`Apple’s Petition Does Not Raise Any New Grounds of
`Unpatentability and Therefore Does Not Add Additional
`Complexity to the Grounds in Samsung’s Petition
`Apple’s Petition challenges the validity of the ’072 Patent on identical
`
`grounds to those in the Samsung IPR. See IPR2022-00213, Paper 3 (November
`
`19, 2021). Apple’s substantive evidence―including its supporting expert
`
`declaration and substantive exhibits―are identical to those presented in the
`
`Samsung IPR. Further, unity of exhibits and exhibit numbering with the Samsung
`
`IPR has been maintained. Accordingly, no new grounds are being introduced. See
`
`Sony Corp. v. Memory Integrity, LLC, IPR2015-01353, Paper No. 11 at 5-6 (PTAB
`
`Oct. 5, 2015) (granting motion for joinder where petitioners relied “on the same
`
`prior art, same arguments, and same evidence”).
`
`Therefore, consolidation of this proceeding with Samsung’s via joinder of
`
`Apple’s Petition will not raise any new issues of unpatentability and will not
`
`impose any additional burden on the Board or Patent Owner, or add additional
`
`complexity to the case.
`
`3.
`Joinder Will Not Affect the Schedule in the Samsung IPR
`Given that the Board recently instituted review of the Samsung IPR, joinder
`
`of Apple would not affect the schedule in any forthcoming trial. Apple’s
`
`participation should result in no changes to the schedule.
`
`Apple agrees to adhere to all applicable deadlines set forth in the Samsung
`
`6
`
`

`

`IPR Scheduling Order. The Patent Owner’s Response will not be affected because
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`the issues in Apple’s Petition are identical to those in the Samsung IPR petition.
`
`Patent Owner will thus not be required to provide any additional analysis or
`
`arguments.
`
`4.
`
`Joinder Will Simplify Briefing Because Apple Has Agreed
`to Consolidated Filings and an Understudy Role if the
`Samsung Petitioner Remains
`To further prevent joinder from imposing any burden on Samsung, Patent
`
`Owner, or the Board and to further ensure that there are no changes in the potential
`
`trial schedule, Apple has agreed, as long as Samsung remains a party to the
`
`Samsung IPR, to take an understudy role, which will simplify briefing and
`
`discovery. In this role, Apple agrees to the following conditions:
`
`(a) Apple shall not make any substantive filing and shall be bound by the
`
`filings of Samsung, unless a filing concerns termination and settlement, or issues
`
`solely involving Apple;
`
`(b) Apple shall not present any argument or make any presentation at oral
`
`hearing unless an issue solely involves Apple, or when addressing Board-approved
`
`motions that do not affect Samsung, or its respective position;
`
`(c) Apple shall not seek to cross-examine or defend the cross-
`
`examination of any witness, unless the topic of cross-examination concerns issues
`
`solely involving Apple;
`
`7
`
`

`

`(d) Apple shall not seek discovery from Patent Owner on issues not
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`solely involving Apple;
`
`(e) Apple will not rely on expert testimony beyond that submitted by
`
`Samsung. If Samsung’s participation is not terminated from the case prior to any
`
`necessary depositions, Apple agrees to rely entirely on, and be bound by, the expert
`
`declarations and depositions in the Samsung IPR. Unless and until the current
`
`petitioner in IPR2022-00213 ceases to participate in the instituted Samsung IPR,
`
`Apple will not assume an active role.2
`
`Accordingly, due to Apple taking only an “understudy” role, Patent Owner
`
`and Samsung will only need to respond to one principal set of papers, will not
`
`require additional time to address additional arguments, and can thus proceed with
`
`the existing trial schedule. These steps will minimize or eliminate any potential
`
`complications or delay that could potentially result from joinder. See Sony, Paper
`
`No. 11 at 6-7 (granting motion because “joinder would increase efficiency by
`
`eliminating duplicative filings and discovery, and would reduce costs and burdens
`
`on the parties as well as the Board” where second petitioner agreed to “understudy”
`
`
`
`2 For clarity, should the Samsung IPR Petitioner’s participation in the Samsung
`
`IPR terminate, Apple would take over primary responsibility for subsequent filings
`
`and discovery.
`
`8
`
`

`

`role). Apple will also abide by any additional conditions the Board deems
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`appropriate for an “understudy” role.
`
`5.
`Joinder Will Result in No Prejudice to Patent Owner
`As noted above, Apple’s joining of the Samsung IPR proceeding should not
`
`result in any prejudice to Patent Owner. No additional grounds or arguments are
`
`being introduced, no new substantive evidence or issues are being added, and no
`
`additional discovery or briefing or oral argument should be necessary as a result of
`
`Apple’s joinder. Thus, Patent Owner would not need to expend any additional
`
`resources beyond those required in the current Samsung IPR.
`
`III.
`
`INSTITUTION IS APPROPRIATE UNDER GENERAL PLASTIC
`
`General Plastic does not apply here because Apple has not previously
`
`challenged the ’072 Patent and seeks to join the Samsung IPR in an understudy
`
`role. See General Plastic Industrial Co., Ltd. v. Canon Kabushiki Kaisha,
`
`IPR2016-01357, Paper 19 at 15-19 (PTAB Sept. 6, 2017); Apple Inc. v. Uniloc
`
`2017 LLC, IPR2020-00224, Paper 10 at 4-5 (PTAB Apr. 6, 2020).
`
`Factor 1: As to “whether the same petitioner previously filed a petition
`
`directed to the same claims of the same patent,” Apple has not previously filed a
`
`petition against the ’072 Patent.3 General Plastic at 16.
`
`
`
`3 As previously noted, Apple is concurrently filing a second petition against the
`
`9
`
`

`

`Apple and Samsung are separate, unrelated petitioners, and are not similarly
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`situated for purposes of Factor 1. While the ’072 Patent was originally asserted
`
`against Samsung in district court litigation, it was not accused of infringing the
`
`patent based on sale of the same products as Apple. Nor has Apple or Samsung
`
`provided any products or technology to the other leading to an allegation of
`
`infringement of the ’072 Patent. While Apple and Samsung have jointly filed IPRs
`
`against other patents asserted by the Patent Owner of the ’072 Patent in the parallel
`
`litigation, the coordination and collaboration between the Samsung and Apple
`
`started only after the Samsung IPR petition for the ’072 Patent was filed. Samsung
`
`had prepared and filed the Samsung IPR petition for the ’072 Patent completely
`
`independent of Apple. A relationship between Apple and Samsung did not exist
`
`at the time of filing of the Samsung IPR petition, and Apple was not in a position
`
`to collaborate with Samsung at that time. Under these circumstances, instead of
`
`creating additional burden on Patent Owner by filing its own petition, Apple is
`
`pursuing joinder with Samsung’s earlier effort. This factor weighs in favor of
`
`institution and against discretionary denial.
`
`Factors 2, 4 and 5: As to the timing examined in these factors, Apple did
`
`not previously file a first petition prior to its current petition, and while Apple
`
`
`
`’072 Patent. See supra n.1.
`
`10
`
`

`

`became aware of the prior art references in the Samsung IPR as of November 2021,
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`it made no serial attack on the ’072 Patent and has filed this petition for IPR within
`
`the one-month time period under 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b). These factors weigh in
`
`favor of institution and against discretionary denial.
`
`Factor 3: As Apple did not previously file a first petition, this factor weighs
`
`in favor of institution and against discretionary denial.
`
`Factors 6 and 7: As stated above, Apple seeks to join the Samsung IPR
`
`and is not raising arguments beyond those raised by the Samsung IPR petition.
`
`These factors thus weigh in favor of institution, as there should be no material
`
`impact on the Board’s finite resources or its ability to issue a final determination
`
`on the Samsung petition within one year.
`
`IV.
`
`INSTITUTION IS APPROPRIATE UNDER FINTIV
`
`For the reasons explained in more detail below, and in Apple’s Petition, the
`
`Fintiv factors weigh in favor of grant of this Motion for Joinder and institution of
`
`the concurrently-filed Petition, and even more so because Apple merely seeks to
`
`join an instituted IPR with a petition that relies on the same prior art references and
`
`grounds set forth in the instituted IPR.
`
`Factor 1. The first Fintiv factor is neutral. No motion to stay the parallel
`
`litigation has been filed, and the district court has not otherwise ruled on any stay
`
`motion. As the Board correctly recognized in the Samsung IPR, Factor 1 is neutral
`
`11
`
`

`

`because no motion to stay has been filed yet. IPR2022-00213, Paper 10 at 12
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`(finding that “this factor does not weigh for or against exercising our discretion to
`
`deny institution”).
`
`Factor 2. In the Samsung IPR, the Board found that this factor weighs “in
`
`favor of exercising our discretion to deny” institution. Id. at 13. Apple submits that
`
`this factor actually supports institution of Apple’s Petition and joinder to the
`
`Samsung IPR. In the parallel litigation, the district court has set an initial trial date
`
`of July 26, 2023, which is over a month after a Final Written Decision would be due
`
`(June 8, 2023) in the Samsung IPR. Moreover, the scheduled trial date “is not by
`
`itself a good indicator of whether the district court trial will occur before the statutory
`
`deadline for a final written decision.” June 21, 2022, Memorandum from the
`
`Director of the USPTO at 8. Indeed, the median time-to-trial from filing for civil
`
`actions in the Western District of Texas is 27.2 months. See EX1021 at 37. Under
`
`this timeline, the district court trial in the parallel litigation is likely to take place on
`
`or around December 2023, which is well after the due date for the Final Written
`
`Decision in the Samsung IPR. Because this IPR will have completed before the
`
`district court trial, Factor 2 weighs in favor of institution.
`
`Factor 3. The Board’s institution decision credited Samsung’s diligence in
`
`filing the Samsung IPR immediately following receipt of Patent Owner’s
`
`preliminary infringement contentions in the parallel district court litigation. See
`
`12
`
`

`

`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`IPR2022-00213, Paper 10 at 14. Apple here has also timely filed its Petition and
`
`Motion for Joinder within the one-month deadline after institution of the Samsung
`
`IPR. See supra § II.B. Moreover, Apple and the Patent Owner have expended few
`
`resources in the litigation. Markman hearing has not taken place, fact discovery has
`
`not begun, and no experts have prepared reports. As such, this factor weighs against
`
`“exercising discretion to deny” institution. Sotera Wireless, Inc. v. Masimo Corp.,
`
`IPR2020-01019, Paper 12 at 16-17 (P.T.A.B. Dec. 1, 2020).
`
`In addition to the parties’ litigation, Patent Owner asserts the ’072 Patent
`
`against Samsung, Google, and Amazon. See Apple’s Petition, Section X.B. The
`
`circumstances of these proceedings also weigh against discretionary denial. Apple
`
`is not a party to any of these proceedings. Stays remain possible for each of the cases,
`
`although none have been filed yet. Regarding the Samsung case, it appears that
`
`Patent Owner is no longer asserting the ’072 Patent against Samsung. The Google
`
`case was filed on the same day as the case against Apple and shares the above
`
`deadlines of the case against Apple. The Amazon case was filed later (November
`
`29, 2021) and remains in its infancy, before claim construction briefings. Thus, for
`
`each of the Samsung, Google, and Amazon cases, Apple is not a party, no claim
`
`construction or other key substantive orders have issued, and the trial dates are
`
`upwards of a year or more away.
`
`13
`
`

`

`Factor 4. While this Petition challenges claims 1-9 of the ’072 Patent, the
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`court has ordered that Patent Owner and Apple confer to “discuss significantly
`
`narrowing the number of claims asserted,” meaning this Petition will likely
`
`challenge a substantial number of claims not at issue in the litigation. EX1022 at
`
`3. Further, Apple stipulates that, if this Petition is instituted, it will not pursue the
`
`grounds identified in this Petition before the district court. Sand Revolution II, LLC
`
`v. Cont’l Intermodal Grp.-Trucking LLC, IPR2019-01393, Paper 24 at 11-12
`
`(P.T.A.B. June 16, 2020) (informative). In the Samsung IPR institution decision,
`
`the Board recognized that Samsung’s “stipulation does minimize overlap with
`
`regard to Zhang and Arndt specifically,” and therefore weighs “marginally against
`
`exercising our discretion to deny institution.” IPR2022-00213, Paper 10 at 15.
`
`Given that Apple’s Petition contains the same prior art and invalidity grounds as
`
`the Samsung IPR, this factor weighs in favor of institution. Also, resolving the
`
`invalidity questions here would mitigate concerns of duplicative efforts in the other
`
`litigations involving the ’072 Patent, noted above, and in future cases.
`
`Factor 5. Although Apple and Patent Owner are parties to co-pending
`
`district court litigation, “[w]hether that fact weighs in favor of or against exercising
`
`discretion to deny institution depends on which tribunal was likely to address the
`
`challenged patent first.” Facebook, Inc. v. USC IP Partnership, L.P., IPR2021-
`
`00033, Paper 13, 14-15 (PTAB Apr. 30, 2021). As noted above, the trial in the
`
`14
`
`

`

`parallel district court litigation is likely to be held after the deadline for a final
`
`Case IPR2022-01243
`Attorney Docket No: 50095-0092IP1
`
`
`written decision in the Samsung IPR. See supra § IV, Factor 2. Accordingly,
`
`Apple’s involvement as a Petitioner in IPR2022-00213 would impart estoppel on
`
`Apple as a result of the Board’s final written decision and thereby reduce issues in
`
`Apple’s co-pending litigation. As such, this factor weighs in favor of institution.
`
`Factor 6. The Board held in the Samsung IPR that this factor was neutral.
`
`See IPR2022-00213, Paper 10 at 17. Additional facts not present in the Samsung
`
`IPR move this factor to favor institution of Apple’s petition and grant of its joinder.
`
`Here, the Petition is merely a joinder to an instituted IPR and Apple will take an
`
`inactive role (unless and until the Samsung IPR Petitoner ceases to participate).
`
`Apple’s Petition includes the same prior art and grounds as the Samsung IPR, and
`
`Samsung demonstrated that there is “a reasonable likelihood it would prevail in
`
`establishing the unpatentability of all claims challenged in the petition.” Id. at 51.
`
`As the Board determined in the Samsung IPR, the “interests of efficiency and
`
`integrity of the system would [not] be best served” by denying institution of a
`
`“potentially meritorious Petition.” Id. at 17.
`
`V. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Apple respectfully requests that its Petition for
`
`Inter partes review of the ’072 Patent be instituted and that Apple be joined to the
`
`Samsung IPR proceeding IPR2022-00213.
