`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`Preliminary Statement
`For more than a decade, Patent Owner Asetek Danmark A/S (“Asetek” or
`
`“Patent Owner”) has developed and commercialized liquid cooling devices for
`
`desktop computers, servers, and datacenters. Asetek’s pioneering liquid cooling
`
`technology created the thriving market for liquid cooling devices and has been used
`
`in millions of computers worldwide. U.S. 8,245,764 (“the ’764 patent”) discloses
`
`many of Asetek’s technological advances in the art of computer liquid cooling.
`
`This IPR petition is the fourth round in a series of invalidity attacks against
`
`the ’764 patent claims. In 2012, Asetek’s competitor, CoolIT Systems, Inc., filed an
`
`inter partes reexamination (Control No. 95/002,386) challenging the validity of
`
`Asetek’s the ’764 patent claims. Following the proceedings in the reexamination unit
`
`and an appeal to the Board, all claims of the ’764 patent were confirmed as
`
`patentable. Ex. 2001 at 8.
`
`The ’764 patent was also found to be not anticipated in a jury verdict in a
`
`separate litigation against CMI USA, Inc. (Asetek Danmark A/S v. CMI USA Inc.,
`
`Case No. 4:13-CV-00457), in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of
`
`California. Ex. 2002 at 2 (see also page 4 of verdict form, showing that the jury
`
`found all asserted secondary considerations in favor of Asetek). The presiding judge
`
`in that case also found that the ’764 patent claims were not obvious in view of the
`
`prior art asserted by CMI USA. Asetek Danmark A/S v. CMI USA, Inc., 100 F. Supp.
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`3d 871, 889 (N.D. Cal. 2015) (finding that the ’764 patent is not invalid for
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`obviousness and that “[a]ll six objective indicia of non-obviousness” that the jury
`
`found in Asetek’s favor supports the Court’s nonobviousness finding). And the
`
`Federal Circuit later affirmed both the jury and the district court’s findings. Asetek
`
`Danmark A/S v. CMI USA Inc., 852 F.3d 1352, 1359-62 (Fed. Cir. 2017).
`
`In a further litigation against Asia Vital Components Co., Ltd., the same ’764
`
`patent was found to be not obvious in summary judgment proceedings. Asia Vital
`
`Components Co. v. Asetek Danmark A/S, 377 F. Supp. 3d 990, 1014 (N.D. Cal.
`
`2019).
`
`Thus, the ’764 patent claims have been repeatedly confirmed as valid in many
`
`different fora. In this fourth challenge, Petitioner Shenzhen Apaltek Co., Ltd.
`
`(“Petitioner” or “Apaltek”) asserts three grounds (Grounds 1, 2, and 5) against
`
`independent claims 1, 10, and 15 of the ’764 patent. The remaining grounds (Ground
`
`3, 4, and 6) are only asserted against dependent claims. In Grounds 1 and 2, the
`
`Petition asserts that Duan by itself or in view of Duan-I renders independent claims
`
`1, 10, and 15 obvious. And in Ground 5, the Petition asserts that Batchelder in view
`
`of Duan renders claims 1, 10, and 15 obvious. But as discussed in detail below, Duan
`
`fails to disclose a single-receptacle “reservoir,” which is a central feature of the
`
`claimed invention and is recited in each of the independent claims. Duan-I, which
`
`the Petition uses only for its orientation, does not overcome Duan’s lack of a single-
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`receptacle “reservoir.” See Pet. at 31-33. Rather than acknowledging Duan’s
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`deficiency, Petitioner and its expert, without support, simply stated that Duan
`
`teaches the missing “reservoir” element. But such conclusory assertions cannot
`
`support an obviousness finding. The Board should thus deny institution based on
`
`Grounds 1 and 2.
`
`Additionally, the Board should exercise its discretion under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 325(d) and deny institution based on Ground 5 (Batchelder in view of Duan). The
`
`Examiner already considered Batchelder during prosecution, but nonetheless found
`
`the claimed invention allowable. Petitioner does not even acknowledge that
`
`Batchelder was considered and applied by the Examiner during prosecution, nor
`
`does Petitioner offer any reason or evidence how the Examiner erred. Accordingly,
`
`the Board’s precedent dictates that the Petition should be denied.
`
`II. The “Reservoir” of the Claimed Invention
`The ’764 patent claims an invention over prior art liquid cooling systems,
`
`which were often bulky with many components which increased the total installation
`
`time, size, and risk of leakage. Ex. 1001 at 1:37-47. Asetek overcame these problems
`
`with a small and compact design that is more efficient, easy to use and implement,
`
`and requires a low level of maintenance. Id. at 1:51-60.
`
`Asetek’s claimed invention has several notable features, including a
`
`“reservoir,” which circulates cooling liquid to keep computer chips from
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`overheating. See id. at 21:12-22:53. The parties in the related district court litigation
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`(and in prior litigations) construed “reservoir” as a “single receptacle defining a fluid
`
`flow path,” and a “chamber” as “compartment within the reservoir.” Pet. at 6.
`
`The single-receptacle “reservoir” limitation overcame prior art in the prior
`
`litigation against CMI USA. CMI USA Inc., 852 F.3d at 1357–58 (“[T]he jury found
`
`that the claimed liquid-cooling systems differ from the prior art . . . because the
`
`‘reservoir’ is a ‘single receptacle that is divided into an upper chamber and a lower
`
`chamber.’”). Specifically, when Asetek previously asserted the ’764 patent (and the
`
`related U.S. Patent No. 8,240,362, which has the same “reservoir” feature) in an
`
`infringement action against CMI USA, Asetek argued that the patents were not
`
`invalid over the prior art because the “reservoir” limitation required a single
`
`receptacle while the prior art disclosed two separate receptacles attached together.
`
`Id. at 1356–58. The jury agreed with Asetek and found Asetek’s patents valid. Asetek
`
`Danmark A/S v. CMI USA, Inc., No. 13-CV-00457-JST, 2015 WL 5568360, at *2
`
`(N.D. Cal. Sept. 22, 2015), aff’d in part, remanded in part, 842 F.3d 1350 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2016), opinion modified and superseded on reh’g, 852 F.3d 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2017),
`
`and aff’d in part, vacated in part, 852 F.3d 1352 (Fed. Cir. 2017).
`
`The drawings of the ’764 patent clearly disclose that the “reservoir” is a single
`
`receptacle that includes dual chambers: a “pump chamber” and a “thermal exchange
`
`chamber.” See Ex. 1001, Figure 20 (annotated below). As shown below, the
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`“reservoir” shown in green is a single structure that includes a pump chamber 46 and
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`a thermal exchange chamber 47A.
`
`Ex. 1001, Fig. 20 (annotations added).
`
`III. The Board Should Deny Institution of Grounds 1 and 2 Because Duan
`Does Not Disclose the “Reservoir” Limitation of Independent Claims 1,
`10, and 15
`The Petition provides little explanation of how Duan discloses a single-
`
`receptacle “reservoir.” The Petition merely notes that “Duan teaches a reservoir
`
`(accommodation chamber 21, cap 3, and cooling plate 1) adapted to pass the cooling
`
`liquid therethrough.” Pet. at 34-37. But nowhere does the Petition explain how
`
`accommodation chamber 21, cap 3, and cooling plate 1 define a single receptacle;
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`instead, it is clear from the drawings of Duan that cooling plate module 10 of Duan
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`includes two receptacles—one defined by accommodation chamber 21 and another
`
`defined by cap 3 and cooling plate 1—and those two receptacles are simply attached
`
`together. See Ex. 1006 (Duan), Figs. 3, 6, and 7 (annotated below). As the Federal
`
`Circuit affirmed in CMI USA Inc., two separate receptacles attached together
`
`do not form a single receptacle. See 852 F.3d at 1357–58.

`

`

`In Asetek Danmark A/S v. CoolIT Systems, Inc., Case 3:19-CV-00410-EMC,
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`
`
`a district court Judge in the Northern District of California (NDCA) similarly found
`
`that “[a] receptacle is a structure that receives and contains fluid,” and when two
`
`separate structures are attached to form a “reservoir,” the important consideration is
`
`not whether the two structures are “permanently affixed” such that their separation
`
`would destroy the device or cause fluid leakage, but whether the two structures can
`
`“function independently.” Ex. 2003 at PDF pp. 2-3. More specifically, the NDCA
`
`Court found that when determining whether two structures form a single-receptacle
`
`“reservoir,” the issue is “not whether the device itself would be destroyed if
`
`physically taken apart but whether the first and second structures can each function
`
`as a receptacle.” See id. at PDF p. 3. Here, it is clear from the drawings of Duan that
`
`Duan’s accommodation chamber 21 and the combination of cap 3 and plate 1 can
`
`function independently. See, e.g., Ex. 1006 (Duan), Figs. 2, 3, 6, and 7. Even if
`
`accommodation chamber 21 was spatially separated from cap 3 and connected to it
`
`by tubing, accommodation chamber 21 (the alleged “pump chamber”) would
`
`function independently of the alleged “thermal exchange chamber” formed by cap 3
`
`and plate 1. See modified Figure 8 of Duan (shown below). Therefore, Duan does
`
`not have a single receptacle, rather it has two receptacles that are attached together
`
`to form cooling plate module 1.
`
`8
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`
`
`Ex. 1006, Fig. 8 (modified to show spatial separation and with added annotations)
`
`Even when Duan’s accommodation chamber 21 is rotated in view of Duan-I,
`
`the cooling plate module 10 continues to have two receptacles, instead of one. The
`
`Petition simply draws an orange outline around the rotated Duan device to assert that
`
`accommodation chamber 21, cap 3, and cooling plate 1 together form a “reservoir.”
`
`Pet. at 37. But the single-receptacle “reservoir” limitation cannot be satisfied by
`
`attaching two receptacles, irrespective of their orientation.
`
`Because Duan does not disclose, teach, or suggest a single-receptacle
`
`“reservoir,” independent claims 1, 10, and 15, and the claims that depend therefrom,
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`are not rendered obvious by Duan alone (Ground 1) or by Duan in combination with
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`Duan-I (Ground 2).
`
`IV. The Board Should Deny Institution of Ground 5 Under 35 U.S.C. § 325(d)
`The Board has discretion to deny review when “the same or substantially the
`
`same prior art or arguments previously were presented to the Office.” 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 325(d). Specifically, § 325(d) provides that the Director may elect not to institute
`
`trial if the challenge to the patent is based on matters previously presented to the
`
`Office. Advanced Bionics, LLC v. MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte GmbH,
`
`IPR2019-01469, Paper 6, 7-9 (P.T.A.B. Feb. 13, 2020) (precedential) (“Advanced
`
`Bionics”). When evaluating matters under § 325(d), the Board uses the following
`
`two-part framework outlined in Advanced Bionics: (1) determining whether the same
`
`or substantially the same art previously was presented to the Office, or whether the
`
`same or substantially the same arguments previously were presented to the Office;
`
`and (2) if either condition of the first part of the framework is satisfied, determining
`
`whether the petitioner has demonstrated that the Office erred in a manner material
`
`to the patentability of the challenged claims. Id. at 8.
`
`In applying this two-part framework, the Board considers the following non-
`
`exclusive factors:
`
`(a) the similarities and material differences between the asserted art and the
`
`prior art involved during examination;
`
`10
`
`

`

`(b) the cumulative nature of the asserted art and the prior art evaluated during
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`
`
`examination;
`
`(c) the extent to which the asserted art was evaluated during examination,
`
`including whether the prior art was the basis for rejection;
`
`(d) the extent of the overlap between the arguments made during examination
`
`and the manner in which Petitioner relies on the prior art or Patent Owner
`
`distinguishes the prior art;
`
`(e) whether Petitioner has pointed out sufficiently how the Examiner erred in
`
`its evaluation of the asserted prior art; and
`
`(f) the extent to which additional evidence and facts presented in the Petition
`
`warrant reconsideration of the prior art or arguments.
`
`Becton, Dickinson & Co. v. B. Braun Melsungen AG, IPR2017-01586, Paper 8, 17-
`
`18 (P.T.A.B. Dec. 15, 2017) (precedential as to § III.C.5, first paragraph). If, after
`
`review of factors (a), (b), and (d), the Board determines that the same or substantially
`
`the same art or arguments were previously presented to the Office, then factors (c),
`
`(e), and (f), which relate to whether the petitioner demonstrates that the Office erred
`
`in a manner material to the patentability of the challenged claims, is considered in
`
`determining whether trial should be instituted. Advanced Bionics at 10.
`
`Here, the Board should exercise its discretion under §325(d) to deny
`
`institution based on Ground 5 (Batchelder in view of Duan) because the Examiner
`
`11
`
`

`

`
`previously considered the Batchelder reference and used it as a basis for rejection in
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`an Office Action, and Petitioner failed to demonstrate any material error of the
`
`Examiner that warrants reconsideration.
`
`
`
`A.
`
`Part One of The Advanced Bionics Framework
`
`1.
`
`Becton, Dickinson Factors (a) and (b): The Prior Art Cited
`by Petitioner is the Same Prior Art Considered by the
`Examiner.
`The primary reference of Ground 5, Batchelder, was previously considered
`
`by the Examiner during prosecution of the ’764 patent and applied as a basis for
`
`prior-art rejection. See Ex. 1004, PDF pp. 101-105 (showing rejection of claims
`
`based on Tamioka (U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2005/0069432) in combination with
`
`Batchelder). Patent Owner successfully argued that Tamioka does not disclose a
`
`reservoir having a “thermal exchange chamber” separate from the “pump chamber”
`
`and vertically spaced apart from it, and that Batchelder does not overcome
`
`Tamioka’s deficiencies. Id. at PDF pp. 79-86. The claims were subsequently allowed
`
`over Batchelder. Id. at PDF pp. 58-59. Accordingly, it is evident that the Examiner
`
`substantively considered Batchelder and found that it does not meet the limitations
`
`of independent claims 1, 10, and 15. Petitioner fails to acknowledge that Batchelder
`
`was considered during prosecution, much less explain any errors in the Examiner’s
`
`evaluation.
`
`12
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`2.
`
`Becton, Dickinson Factor (d): Substantially the Same
`Arguments Were Previously Considered by The Examiner.
`The Examiner agreed with Patent Owner during prosecution of the ’764
`
`patent that Batchelder does not disclose a “thermal exchange chamber” separate
`
`from the “pump chamber” and vertically spaced apart from it. Ex. 1004 at PDF p.
`
`59. Yet, Petitioner’s arguments regarding Batchelder are substantially the same
`
`as those considered by the Examiner. See Pet. at 95-103, 124-129, 132-135. That
`
`is, Petitioner applied Batchelder in the same way as rejected by the Examiner.
`
`B.
`
`Part Two of the Advanced Bionics Framework
`Becton, Dickinson Factor (c): Batchelder Was Substantially
`1.
`Evaluated During Examination.
`Batchelder was not only considered, but was the basis of a prior-art rejection
`
`during prosecution. See Section IV.A.1, supra. Thus, Batchelder was substantially
`
`evaluated during prosecution and the claims were allowed over Batchelder.
`
`2.
`
`Becton, Dickinson Factors (e) and (f): Petitioner Failed
`to Sufficiently Point Out How the Examiner Erred or
`Why the Evidence and Facts of the Petition Warrant
`Reconsideration.
`Petitioner failed to provide any indication that the Examiner erred in his
`
`prior art analysis during the prosecution of the ’764 patent, including the reasons for
`
`allowance in the Notice of Allowance. See Ex. 1004, PDF pp. 58-59. For example,
`
`Petitioner failed to identify any specific teaching in the Batchelder reference
`
`that the Examiner misapprehended or overlooked. Nor did Petitioner provide
`
`13
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`any additional evidence or facts that warrant reconsideration of the Examiner’s
`
`determination. In particular, Petitioner has not explained why the Examiner is
`
`incorrect in his finding that Batchelder does not disclose a “thermal exchange
`
`chamber” separate from the “pump chamber” and vertically spaced apart from it,
`
`which is required by each of the independent claims 1, 10, and 15:1
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex. 1004, PDF p. 59. Nor has Petitioner explained how Duan overcomes
`
`Batchelder’s deficiency with respect to the Examiner’s above findings.
`
`Because Petitioner has not sufficiently demonstrated how the Examiner
`
`erred in his evaluation of Batchelder in a manner material to patentability of the
`
`challenged claims, part two of the Advanced Bionics framework supports denial of
`
`institution based on Ground 5 (Batchelder in view of Duan). See Advanced Bionics
`
`at 8.
`
`
`1 Claim 1, 12, and 17 during prosecution issued as independent claims 1, 10, and
`
`15.
`
`14
`
`

`

`
`V. Conclusion
`Institution based on Grounds 1 and 2 should be denied because Duan fails to
`
`IPR2022-01317
`U.S. Patent No. 8,245,764
`
`disclose a single-receptacle “reservoir.” And institution based on Ground 5 should
`
`be denied under 35 U.S.C. § 325(d) because Batchelder was fully considered during
`
`prosecution. The remaining grounds (Grounds 3, 4, and 6) pertain only to dependent
`
`claims and do not overcome the deficiencies of Grounds 1, 2, and 5. For the above
`
`reasons, Petitioner fails to meet its burden of showing why inter partes review
`
`should be instituted. The Board should accordingly deny institution of inter partes
`
`review.
