`
`

`

`Subscriptions
`D.
`The Internet is known to host various forms of in-demand digital
`
`25.
`
`content, so systems have been created that are directed to providing “up-to-date”
`
`information on a recurring basis (a “subscription”). SAMSUNG-1005, 13:1-13;
`
`SAMSUNG-1006, 3:58-67, 2:1-13; SAMSUNG-1009, 1:13-26. One early example
`
`of Internet subscriptions was the “PointCast” system first released to the public in
`
`February, 1996. SAMSUNG-1017. PointCast was designed to “display regularly
`
`updated news in place of a user’s more conventional screensaver” and included
`
`categories for “News, Companies, Industries, Weather, Sports, and Lifestyle.” Id.
`
`As one example of data retrieved through a subscription, a user can be subscribed
`
`to receive regular updates of information related to stocks. SAMSUNG-1005, FIG.
`
`3A, SAMSUNG-1006, 10:48-55; SAMSUNG-1009, 1:13-20. One additional
`
`example of a subscription service is Microsoft’s Channel Definition Format (CDF),
`
`which is discussed by both Brown and Wecker. SAMSUNG-1005, 13:1-13;
`
`SAMSUNG-1006, 3:3-16.
`
`INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ’083 PATENT CLAIMS AT ISSUE
`
`26.
`
`I understand that, for purposes of my analysis in this inter partes
`
`review proceeding, the terms appearing in the patent claims should be interpreted
`
`according to their “broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of
`
`the patent in which it appears.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b). In that regard, I understand

`
`

`

`ADDITIONAL REMARKS
`
`180. I currently hold the opinions set expressed in this declaration. My
`
`analysis may continue, however, and I may acquire additional information and/or
`
`attain supplemental insights that may result in added observations and opinions.
`
`181. I declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are
`
`true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.
`
`Moreover, these statements were made with the knowledge that willful false
`
`statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both
`
`under Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code.

`
`INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ’545 PATENT CLAIMS AT ISSUE
`

`
`I understand that, for purposes of my analysis in this inter partes

`
`I, Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt, of Nashville, Tennessee, declare that:

`
`INTERPRETATIONS OF THE ’407 PATENT CLAIMS AT ISSUE
`
`26.
`
`I understand that, for purposes of my analysis in this inter partes
`
`review proceeding, the terms appearing in the patent claims should be interpreted
`
`according to their “broadest reasonable construction in light of the specification of
`
`the patent in which it appears.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.100(b). In that regard, I understand
`
`that the best indicator of claim meaning is its usage in the context of the patent
`
`specification as understood by a POSITA. I further understand that the words of
`
`the claims should be given their plain meaning unless that meaning is inconsistent
`
`with the patent specification or the patent’s history of examination before the
`
`Patent Office. I also understand that the words of the claims should be interpreted
`
`as they would have been interpreted by a POSITA at the time of the invention was
`
`made (not today). Because I do not know at what date the invention as claimed
`
`was made, I have used the earliest priority date of U.S. Patent No. 8,510,407 as the
`
`point in time for claim interpretation purposes. That date was April 26, 1999.
`
`27.
`
`I understand that the following terms should be interpreted as follows:
`
`“networked information monitor” (“NIM”)
`
`28.
`
`I understand that for the purposes of the present proceeding, this term,
`
`which appears in claims 1, 11, 13, and 23, should be construed to mean “a fully
