`
`Introduction
`Ericsson AB (“Ericsson” or “Patent Owner”) respectfully moves under 35
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00468
`MOTION TO AMEND
`
`U.S.C. § 316(d) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.121 to conditionally amend challenged claims
`
`1-5, 7-11, 16-19 of the ’178 patent. In the event the Board finds the challenged
`
`claims unpatentable, Ericsson respectfully requests that the Board grant this motion
`
`to amend with respect to the corresponding proposed substitute claims.
`
`“Before considering the patentability of any substitute claims, the Board first
`
`must determine whether the motion to amend meets the statutory and regulatory
`
`requirement set forth in 35 U.S.C. § 316(d) and 37 C.F.R. §42.121.” Lectrosonics,
`
`Inc. v. Zaxcom, Inc., IPR2018-01129, -01130, Paper 15 at 4 (PTAB Feb. 25, 2019).
`
`The substitute claims must be i) presented in a claim listing; ii) reasonable in
`
`number; iii) responsive to a ground of unpatentability involved in the trial; iv) non-
`
`broadening; and v) supported by the written description. Id. at 4-8. As shown
`
`below, this motion and the substitute claims meet all requirements of 37 C.F.R §
`
`42.121. Moreover, the motion confirms Patent Owner’s belief that the proposed
`
`substitute claims are patentable over all known prior art, whether alone or in
`
`combination.
`
`In light of the Federal Circuit’s en banc decision in Aqua Products v. Matal,
`
`872 F.3d 1290 (Fed. Cir. 2017), Patent Owner need not do more. Having met its
`
`burdens, Patent Owner is entitled to the contingent substitute claim unless

`MOTION TO AMEND
`Petitioner “prove[s] all propositions of unpatentability.” Id. at 1310.
`
`
`
`II.
`
`Statement of Relief Requested
`Pursuant to the Board’s Pilot Program, Patent Owner requests the Board’s
`
`Preliminary Guidance as to this Motion to Amend.
`
`To the extent the Board finds any of original claims 1-5, 7-11, and 16-19
`
`unpatentable, Ericsson respectfully requests that the Board grant this motion to
`
`amend with respect to the corresponding proposed substitute claim(s) presented
`
`herein.
`
`III. The Substitute Claims Satisfy 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)
`A. The substitute claims are non-broadening.
`As shown in the attached claims appendix, the proposed substitute claims
`
`retain all features of the corresponding original claims, and only add clarifying
`
`amendments. The proposed claims thus do not enlarge the scope of the
`
`corresponding original claims in any way. Rather, the clarifying amendments
`
`simply render more explicit the claim scope discussed in Patent Owner's Response.
`
`Thus, although Patent Owner believes the original claims, properly construed,
`
`already contain the requirements set forth in the contingent amended claims
`
`presented herein, Patent Owner provides the contingent amended claims in the
`
`event the Board declines to so construe the original claims.

`
`The substitute claims are responsive to a ground of
`unpatentability involved in the trial.
`The proposed substitute claims are also responsive to at least one ground of
`
`unpatentability in the trial. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(i). Petitioner has alleged
`
`that U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2002/0172368 to Peterka, Ex. 1004 (“Peterka”), teaches a
`
`method for handling secure distribution of content that comprises initiating a media
`
`playback request and receiving a playback request response; parsing content
`
`information from the playback request response, the content information including
`
`content encryption keys, content encryption key identifiers, and content encryption
`
`key expiration times; retrieving content and manifest files from a content delivery
`
`server; detecting content encryption key rotation boundaries between periods of
`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00618
`MOTION TO AMEND
`use of different content encryption keys in decrypting retrieved content; issuing
`
`
`
`requests to a license server ahead of a key rotation boundary to retrieve a second
`
`content encryption key to be used after a content encryption key rotation boundary
`
`is reached; and applying the second key for content decryption after the key
`
`rotation boundary is reached, as recited in the original claims. Each proposed
`
`substitute claim: (1) clarifies that the content expiration key expiration times define
`
`normal periods of use for each said content encryption key; (2) clarifies that the
`
`step of detecting content encryption key rotation boundaries between periods of
`
`use of different content encryption keys in decrypting retrieved content requires
`
`detecting an explicit key change notification requesting a key change outside of the
`
`normal period-based expiration of the current key; and (3) clearly notes that the
`
`key rotation boundary recited in limitations 21.5 and 31.6 encompasses either the
`
`expiration time for said content encryption key or an explicit key change
`
`notification. Neither Peterka nor the other cited references teach or suggest a
`
`system or method with those limitations.
`
`At the same time, it is not necessary “that every word added to or removed
`
`from a claim in a motion to amend must be solely for the purpose of overcoming
`
`an instituted ground.” Veeam Software Corp. v. Veritas Techs., LLC, IPR2014-
`
`00090, Paper 48 at 28 (Jul. 17, 2017). Rather, the question is whether “the
`
`proposed claim as a whole is ‘responsive to a ground of unpatentability involved in
`
`
`
`
`- 5 -
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00618
`MOTION TO AMEND
`the trial.’” Id. at 29. Beyond that threshold, Patent Owner may add other
`
`
`
`amendments that “serve[ ] the public interest by ensuring issuance of valid and
`
`clear patents,” including “additional limitations to address potential § 101 or § 112
`
`issues.” Id. To the extent the Board finds that any other proposed amendments in a
`
`given substitute claim are not directly responsive to a ground of unpatentability
`
`here, those amendments are appropriate in view of the legal principles above.
`
`C. The substitute claims are reasonable in number.
`For each original challenged claim, Ericsson proposes only one substitute
`
`claim, fitting the “presumption . . . that only one substitute claim would be needed
`
`to replace each challenged claim.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(3).
`
`IV. The Substitute Claim Satisfies 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(b)
`A. The substitute claims are presented in claim listing.
`As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(b), this motion is accompanied by an
`
`appendix that lists the proposed substitute claim and clearly shows the proposed
`
`amendments to the claim in light of the corresponding original claim.
`
`B.
`
`The substitute claims are supported by the original and earlier-
`filed disclosures for each claim.
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.121(b)(1) and (b)(2), the below table
`
`demonstrates that each substitute claim is supported by each earlier-filed disclosure

`V. Level of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`Patent Owner agrees with Petitioner’s expert regarding the level of ordinary
`
`skill in the art. Ex. 1003, ¶¶ 23-26.
`
`VI. Claim Construction
`At this stage, Patent Owner does not propose any specific claim
`
`constructions as it is not Patent Owner’s burden to demonstrate patentability of the
`
`proposed substitute claim over the prior art. While Patent Owner believes the new
`
`proposed limitations, plainly understood, establish patentability of the proposed
`
`claim, Patent Owner reserves the right to propose claim constructions as needed to
`
`respond to any allegations of unpatentability presented by Petitioner.
`
`VII. Patentability Over the Prior Art
`In light of the Federal Circuit’s en banc decision in Aqua Products v. Matal,
`
`872 F.3d 1290, 1296, 1310 (Fed. Cir. 2017), Patent Owner need not prove the
`
`patentability of the proposed substitute claim. And as the Patent Office has
`
`
`
`- 9 -
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00618
`MOTION TO AMEND
`acknowledged before the Federal Circuit, and the Federal Circuit has held, Patent
`
`
`
`Owner adequately meets its duty of candor by simply confirming—as it does
`
`here—its belief that the proposed substitute claim is patentable over all known
`
`prior art, alone or combined. Nike Inc. v. Adidas AG, 812 F.3d 1326, 1350 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2016) (overruled en banc on other grounds). Nonetheless, the proposed
`
`amended claims are patentable at least for the reasons set forth in Section III.A.
`
`VIII. Conclusion
`Patent Owner respectfully requests the Board’s Preliminary Guidance as to
`
`this Motion, and further requests that, to the extent any original claim is deemed
`
`unpatentable, the Board grant the corresponding proposed substitute claim.

`
`[21.1P] A method for handling secure distribution of content comprising:
`
`
`[21.1] initiating a media playback request and receiving a playback request
`response;
`
`[21.2] parsing content information from the playback request response, the content
`information including content encryption keys, content encryption key identifiers,
`and content encryption key expiration times, said content expiration key expiration
`times defining normal periods of use for each said content encryption key;
`
`[21.3] retrieving content and manifest files from a content delivery server;
`
`[21.4] detecting content encryption key rotation boundaries between periods of use
`of different content encryption keys in decrypting retrieved content by detecting an
`explicit key change notification requesting a key change outside of the normal
`period-based expiration of the current key;
`
`[21.5] issuing requests to a license server ahead of a key rotation boundary to
`retrieve a second content encryption key to be used after a content encryption key
`rotation boundary is reached, said key rotation boundary constituting either the
`expiration time for said content encryption key or an explicit key change
`notification; and
`
`[21.6] applying the second key for content decryption after the key rotation
`boundary is reached.

`
`
`(Substitute for claim 4, if found unpatentable)
`
`The method of claim 233, further comprising: timing the prefetching of a next un-
`retrieved content encryption key based on an expected expiration of the content
`encryption key currently being used.
`
`25.
`
`
`
`(Substitute for claim 5, if found unpatentable)
`
`The method of claim 244, further comprising: prefetching a next un-retrieved key a
`fixed duration before the expected expiration of the content encryption key
`currently being used.
