`(a) A patent may not be obtained thoughthe inventionis not identically disclosed or described as set forth in
`section 102 ofthistitle, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art are
`such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obviousat the time the invention was made to a person
`having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the
`manner in which the invention was made.
`
`The factual inquiries set forth in Graham vy. John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1, 148 USPQ 459
`(1966), that are applied for establishing a background for determining obviousness under
`35 U.S.C. 103(a) are summarized as follows:
`(See MPEP Ch. 2141)
`
`VOTe
`
`Determining the scope and contents of the priorart;
`Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claimsin issue;
`Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art; and
`Evaluating evidence of secondary considerations for indicating obviousness or
`nonobviousness.
`
`4. Claims 1 - 8, 10 - 24 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being
`
`unpatentable over Nobuchi “US 6,492,974” in view of Aarras “US
`
`2006/0264243” and further in view of Nishiyama “5,436,954”.
`
`Re-Claim 1, Nobuchi teaches a portable computer comprising: (fig. 1)
`
`a base(fig. 1; 1) including a keyboard (2);
`
`a single display component (3) rotatably coupled to the base (1) such that the single
`
`display component (3) and the base (1) are rotatable with respect to one another about
`
`a longitudinal axis (5) running along an interface betweenthe display component(3)
`
`and the base(1) to transition betweenat least a laptop mode(figs. 1 & 16(a)), the single
`
`display component including a display screen (3), wherein
`
`the laptop mode(figs. 1 & 16 (a)) is configured to display to a user on the single
`

`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`The 31 claims challenged here are directed to a portable computer with
`
`multiple display modesand related features, all of which were well-known before
`
`the priority date. This portable computer is configurable between various display
`
`modes,including laptop,easel, flat, and frame modes. But these modes, and
`
`portable computers configurable to transition between them, wereall well-known
`
`before the priority date. Related claimed features include a hinge assembly,
`
`display mode detection based on a rotation sensor, and automatic rotation based on
`
`a detected display mode. But likewise, these and other claimed features were also
`
`all well-known before the priority date.
`
`Asexplained below,five prior art patents—Shimura, Hisano, Tsuji, Shigeo,
`
`and Choi—in various combinationsrender obviousall 31 challenged claims. This
`
`petition requests that the Board find unpatentable and cancel all challenged claims.

`
`The '688 Patent issued from U.S. Application No. 12/170,939, filed July 10,
`
`2008, claimspriority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/041,365, filed April 1,
`
`2008. Without conceding priority entitlement, for purposesofthis Petition only, it
`
`' Noneofthe five referencesrelied on in this Petition were cited during
`
`prosecution of the '688 Patent. Nor were "the same or substantially the same prior
`
`art or arguments [otherwise] previously [] presented to the Office" during such
`
`prosecution. 35 U.S.C. § 325(d). Accordingly, the Board has no reason to
`
`exercise its discretion to deny institution under 35 U.S.C. § 325(d). See Solvay
`
`USA Inc. v. WorldSource Enterprises, LLC, PGR2019-00046, slip op. at 14
`
`(P.T.A.B. Aug. 13, 2019) (Paper 7). While Shimura and Hisano werecited in an
`
`IDSduring prosecution of other patents that claim the benefit of the '688 Patent,
`
`this is insufficient. See Allgenesis Biotherapeutics Inc., v. Cloudbreak
`
`Therapeutics, LLC, No. IPR2020-01438, slip op. at 11-12 (P.T.A.B. Feb. 18,
`
`2021) (Paper 7). Moreover, neither reference was relied upon or substantively
`
`considered by the Examiner during prosecution of those other patents.
