`CLAIM LISTING2
`
`Limitation
`1. A method of rendering content on a wireless device, said method
`comprising:
`receiving an identification of a custom configuration of a plurality of
`rendering blocks of said wireless device,
`wherein said custom configuration is associated with an application and
`configures said plurality of rendering blocks to render content in a
`manner customized to said application;
`receiving compiled content generated in part from execution of said
`application
`wherein said compiled content comprises render commands expressed
`in a syntax that is generic to said wireless device;
`using a graphical user interface comprising said plurality of rendering
`blocks to generate renderable content based on said compiled content
`and said custom configuration; and
`rendering said renderable content on said wireless device, wherein said
`receiving compiled content comprises: receiving first compiled content
`specific to a first page of said application; and receiving second
`compiled content specific to a second page of said application
`wherein said custom configuration is applicable to both said first and
`second compiled content.
`2. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said using a graphical user
`interface comprising said plurality of rendering blocks to generate
`renderable content comprises: processing said compiled content using
`a reader of said wireless device; and issuing commands from said
`reader to individual rendering blocks of said graphical user interface
`based on said rendering commands of said compiled content.
`3. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said render able content
`comprises audio content and display content.
`
`
`2 As the Preliminary Response presents the claim listing in its body in fragments
`and grouped by limitation type, rather than in numerical order, all claim limitations
`are presented here together so the Panel may easily view them in order and in
`context. Patent Owner uses Petitioner’s numbering designation for consistency, but
`designates three sub-limitations for 23h.

`22. A non-transitory computer usable medium as described in claim 12
`wherein said plurality of rendering blocks of said graphical user
`interface comprises: a first block that controls the rendering of ticker
`information across a display screen of said wireless device; a second
`block that controls the rendering of button images on said display
`screen; and a third block that controls the rendering of audio on a

`[23pre] 23. A wireless device operable to communicate with a remote server,
`said wireless device comprising:
`a transceiver coupled to a bus and operable to receive a custom
`configuration that is associated with an application,
`said transceiver also operable to receive compiled content generated in
`part from execution of said application and
`comprising a plurality of rendering commands expressed in a syntax
`that is generic to said wireless device;
`a memory coupled to said bus and operable to store said compiled
`content and said custom configuration;
`a processor coupled to said bus and operable to implement the
`following: a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of rendering
`blocks and operable to generate renderable content based on said
`compiled content and said custom configuration
`an engine for reading said compiled content and responsive thereto for
`causing said graphical user interface to generate said renderable content
`based on said render commands;
`[23f] wherein said custom configuration is operable to configure said
`plurality of rendering blocks to render content in a manner customized
`to said application;
`[23h.1] a display device coupled to said bus and operable to render a portion of
`said renderable content,
`[23h.2] wherein said compiled content comprises: a first compiled content
`specific to a first page of said application; and a second compiled
`content specific to a second page of said application,
`[23h.3] wherein said custom configuration is applicable to both said first and
`second compiled content.
`24. The wireless device as described in claim 23 wherein said engine is
`further operable to issue commands to individual rendering blocks of
`said graphical user interface based on said plurality of rendering
`commands of said compiled content.
`25. The wireless device as described in claim 23 further comprising an
`audio rendering device coupled to said bus and wherein said renderable
`content comprises audio content and display content.

`that controls the rendering of audio on a speaker of said wireless device.
`33. The wireless device as described in claim 23 wherein said plurality
`of rendering blocks of said graphical user interface comprises: a first
`block that controls the rendering of a scroll bar on said display screen
`of said wireless device; a second block that controls the rendering of an
`input box on said display screen of said wireless device; and a third
`block that control the rendering of a text display region on said display
`screen of said wireless device.

`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`
`
`Patent 8,478,245
`
`The Board should decline to institute Netflix, Inc.’s (“Petitioner’s”) request
`
`for an inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,478,245 (“’245 Patent” or “Patent-at-
`
`Issue”). First, Petitioner is asserting the claims are unpatentable as obvious over
`
`Harris and Hariki that will have been considered in a parallel district court
`
`proceeding well before the final written decision in in this IPR. As such, this
`
`proceeding is a duplicative additional expense for all constituents rather than a less
`
`expensive alternative to address unpatentability as Congress conceived post grant
`
`reviews.
`
`Alternatively, the Panel should decline to institute on the merits. At a high
`
`level, the Patent-at-Issue concerns configuring and rendering a remotely executing
`
`application on a wireless device. However, Hariki is not concerned with this subject
`
`matter, but, instead, teaches a more efficient way of putting together a device “skin”
`
`that changes the look of the entire device environment. The Patent-at-Issue also
`
`claims the remotely executing application generating pages expressed in a syntax
`
`that is “generic”—i.e., not specific to the wireless device type—that Petitioner
`
`concedes Hariki does not disclose, arguing Harris has these features. However,
`
`Harris is centered upon providing device specific and arbitrary—to use Petitioner’s
`
`word—content from a web server to a web browser. Given the disparate nature of
`
`the references and the Patent-at-Issue, the Petitioner takes vague and unreasonable

`
`positions in an attempt to shoehorn the references within the claim scope. This
`
`Preliminary Response will now discuss these and other issues that show Petitioner
`
`has failed to demonstrate it is more likely than not that any claim is unpatentable
`
`over Hariki in view of Harris.
`
`II. OVERVIEW OF THE PATENT-AT-ISSUE
`A. Family and Priority
`The Patent-at-Issue was filed on August 1, 2007 and does not claim priority
`
`to an earlier application. Ex. 1001 at (22). As such, the effective priority date is the
`
`filing date, and the Patent-at-Issue’s patentability should be judged under the pre-
`
`AIA statutes.
`
`B. Historical Context
`By 2005, people were beginning to “web surf” on their smartphones; however,
`
`the Internet capabilities of existing devices were primitive because phones’ internet
`
`interfaces were designed for low-bandwidth networks. Ex. 2001, 13–14. For

`instan
