`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`
`
`Patent 8,478,245
`
`Petitioner now has clarified some of its positions, but it also has
`
`inappropriately taken new invalidity positions in its Reply as identified herein.
`
`Regardless, Petitioner has not shown any claim is obvious as there is not one
`
`application that meets the claim limitations, at least because the UI skin Petitioner
`
`identifies as the custom configuration does not customize for Hariki’s web server
`
`and Hariki’s web browser does not generate the HTML, even in part, still less while
`
`executing remotely so that the web browser’s compiled content can be received by
`
`a wireless device. Additionally, Petitioner has not shown Hariki’s engines, that
`
`process the UI skin, read HTML, the identified compiled content, for claims 23–33,
`
`or a that Hariki’s “title bars” have scrolling text such that they are rendering blocks
`
`for rendering a ticker for claims 11, 22, and 32.
`
`II. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`A. “Customized to Said Application” Means “Created For” the Application
`Program
`
`[1b/12b/23f] wherein said custom configuration . . . [configures/is operable
`to configure] said plurality of rendering blocks to render content in a manner
`customized to said application
`
`Petitioner first argues that the Board should define “customized to an
`
`application” per a separate limitation “associated with an application,” citing ACTV
`
`for the uncontroversial proposition that the surrounding words of a claim should be
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`IPR2023-00758
`
`
`
`Patent 8,478,245
`
`considered when defining a term.4 Reply 2–3. Looking at the surrounding words,
`
`however, the Board can see that the claim lists the “associated” and “configures”
`
`limitations separately, so there is “a presumption that those components are distinct.”
`
`Kyocera Senco Indus. Tools Inc. v. Int’l Trade Comm’n, 22 F.4th 1369, 1382 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2022) (citation omitted). The claims require the custom configuration be more
`
`than “associated” with the application. The custom configuration must also
`
`configure rendering blocks to “render content in a manner customized to said
`
`application.” Limitations 1b/12b/23f. It is inappropriate to merge the two
`
`requirements to “read out” the narrower requirement. See AllVoice Computing PLC
`
`v. Nuance Communs., Inc., 504 F.3d 1236, 1247–48 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (explaining
`
`that courts should not merge separate terms because this would make one limitation
`
`superfluous).
`
`Second, Petitioner argues that Patent Owner is attempting to vary the plain
`
`meaning of the term “customized,” Reply 3–4; however, as set forth in the Response,
`
`“created for” is the plain meaning of the term customized. Paper 21 (“POR”) 20
`
`(explaining that this is the dictionary meaning and how a POSITA uses the term in
`
`the relevant field). Moreover, it is often the case that an applicant has not explicitly
`
`
`4
`In ACTV the language of the claims defined the term, so the court simply adopted
`the definition and found there was no reason to look to extrinsic evidence. ACTV,
`Inc. v. Walt Disney Co., 346 F.3d 1082, 1090 (Fed. Cir. 2003).
`
`- 2 -
`
`
`
`IPR2023-00758
`
`
`
`Patent 8,478,245
`
`defined a term, and in such a case it is proper to use words not found in the
`
`specification to capture the meaning in light of the patent’s teachings. Masimo Corp.
`
`v. Sotera Wireless, Inc., No. 2022-1415, 2023 WL 6307959, at *3 (Fed. Cir. Sept.
`
`28, 2023) (affirming a term as the definition of a claim limitation even though the
`
`“specification does not use the term” because “there is nothing inconsistent between
`
`the plain meaning [the PTAB] derived from the intrinsic evidence and the meaning
`
`it drew from the dictionary”).
`
`Here, at least because the specification teaches there is a corresponding
`
`custom configuration the server chooses based upon the application, a POSITA
`
`understood that “customized to” means “created for.” Ex. 2022 ¶91; see also
`
`AstraZeneca AB v. Mylan Pharms. Inc., 19 F.4th 1325, 1330 (Fed. Cir. 2021)
`
`(“[T]he ordinary meaning of a claim term is not ‘the meaning of the term in the
`
`abstract’ . . . Instead, the ‘ordinary meaning’ of a claim term is its meaning to the
`
`ordinary artisan after reading the entire patent.”) (quoting Eon Corp. IP Holdings v.
`
`Silver Spring Networks, 815 F.3d 1314, 1320 (Fed. Cir. 2016)) (second level of
`
`internal quotations removed).
`
`Third, Petitioner critiques Patent Owner for putting forth several synonymous
`
`definitions all generally meaning “created for” and takes particular issue with
`
`Patent Owner’s proposal that a custom configuration must be “designed for” an
`
`application. Reply 4. There is nothing controversial in this understanding: it is
`
`- 3 -
`
`
`
`IPR2023-00758
`
`
`
`Patent 8,478,245
`
`straight-forward that to have a customized configuration that customizes the look and
`
`feel of an application, the creator must know what the application is, in the same
`
`way a tailor cannot make a “custom” suit without knowing who will be wearing the
`
`suit. See Ex. 2022 ¶¶90–91.
`
`B. The Pages of Compiled Content Must Be in Part Generated by the
`Executing Application
`
`[1c/12c/23b] [receiving/said transceiver also operable to receive] compiled
`content generated in part from execution of said application
`
`In light of Petitioner’s protestation that Patent Owner “offers no coherent
`
`construction at any point,” see Reply 12, Patent Owner makes clear that
`
`Patent Owner’s proposed construction of “compiled content is generated in part
`
`from execution of said application” means “said application produces/outputs some
`
`part of the compiled content during its execution.” POR 32; Ex. 2022 ¶107.
`
`Petitioner mostly summarizes Patent Owner’s positions correctly, Reply 12–
`
`14: (1) the limitation requires the application to generate (i.e., be the “source of”)
`
`the compiled content, POR 28–30; (2) “from execution” means the running
`
`application is the source of the compiled content, not a “but for” cause or “triggering
`
`event,” id. 32–33; and, (3) the “in part” of “generated in part” refers to the
`
`generation, id. 35–36.
`
`However, Petitioner misunderstands Patent Owner’s position in one regard:
