`

`Dynapass IP Holdings, LLC (“Patent Owner”) respectfully submits this sur-
`
`reply in support of its Preliminary Patent Owner Response, as authorized by the
`
`Board on May 18, 2023.
`
`First, Petitioner fails to address Patent Owner’s application of Oil States to
`
`expired patents, as set forth in the preliminary patent owner response. Compare
`
`Paper 11 with Paper 10 at 39-40. The final written decision in Apple, Inc. v. Gesture
`
`Tech. Partners, LLC, which Petitioner cites in its reply, also fails to address the Oil
`
`States decision. See IPR2021-00922, Paper 26 at 25-27.
`
`Second, Petitioner fails to dispute that the Reiher declaration does nothing
`
`more than restate Petitioners’ argument without any additional supporting evidence
`
`or reasoning. See Paper 11. Nor could Petitioner because in each of the seven
`
`instances identified in the Preliminary Patent Owner Response, the Reiher
`
`declaration is nearly word-for-word identical to the Petition. See Paper 10 at 17-21,
`
`23, 32, 35. It does not provide any technical reasoning, other than to parrot the legal
`
`arguments of the Petition. See id. It does not cite to any evidence not already
`
`identified in the Petition. See id. Nor does it provide any further technical analysis
`
`of that evidence. See id. In sum, the portions of the Reiher declaration identified in
`
`the Preliminary Patent Owner Response are merely a restatement of Petitioner’s
`
`legal argument, not evidence. Therefore, those “opinions” should be afforded no
`
`weight.
`
