`The Disclosure Of An Infrared Ray Sensor Is Non-Limiting And
`Includes GPS and PHSs As Examples
`
`Next, a description will be made for a processing flow
`when the walker 10 selects Run in step 105. At first, the
`walker 10 gets the location information of the portable
`terminal with use of a device in step 106. The location
`information of the portable terminal here is represented by
`a latitude/longitude or coordinates and an altitude. For
`example, the location information is measured with use of a
`Cellular antenna and such an infrared rav sensor as a GSP,
`PHS, or the like. Then, the walker 10 gets the direction
`information of the portable terminal with use of a device in
`step 107. The direction information is the direction of the tip
`of the portable terminal or the orientation of the display
`screen represented by a direction and an angle of elevation.

`Contrary To The Specification Apple’s Proposed Structure Limits
`Analyzing Received Data
`
`Apple’s Proposed Construction
`Function: No dispute
`Structure: a wireless or cellular antenna,
`or a GPS, or a Personal Handyphone
`System (PHS); and an infrared ray sensor;
`and a control unit for analyzing received
`data, with the control unit calculating
`location information as disclosed in ’498
`at 5:48-56 and Fig. 2; or equivalents
`thereof
`
`Those devices are connected to each another. The device for
`getting location information 77 is provided with such a
`wireless antenna, a GPS, a PHS, or the like; such a data
`receiver as an infrared ray sensor, or the like; and a control
`unit for analY.zing received data, thereby calculating location
`information. The device for getting direction information 78
`
`’498 Patent, 9:39-44
`
`Furthermore, in the portable terminal of the present inven(cid:173)
`tion with the function of walking navigation, location infor(cid:173)
`mation to get is represented by a latitude/longitude or
`coordinates and an altitude. For example, such a wireless
`antenna as a GPS, a PHS, etc., as well as an infrared ray
`sensor is used to measure location information. The portable
`terminal of the present invention may also be provided with
`any one of the above methods for measuring a position or
`some possible methods combined for measuring a position.

`The IPR Proceedings Did Not Create A Clear Disavowal Of Claim Scope
`
`•
`
`First, PTAB proceedings were under a different claim construction standard and
`Apple agrees that District Courts are not “bound by PTAB’s construction.”
`
`See THX, Ltd. v. Apple, Inc., Case No. 13-cv-01161, 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 153557, at *13(N.D. Cal. Nov. 4, 2016)
`
`“As an initial matter, Apple conceded at the claim construction hearing that the Court is not bound by PTAB's
`construction. See Hr'g Tr. at 3:23-5:16; cf. Cuozzo Speed Techs., LLC v. Lee, 136 S. Ct. 2131, 2146, 195 L. Ed. 2d 423
`(2016) (recognizing that the ‘different evidentiary burdens’ in IPR and district court proceedings ‘mean that the
`possibility of inconsistent results is inherent to Congress' regulatory design’).”
`
`See Danco, Inc. v. Fluidmaster, Inc., No. 5:16-cv-73, 2017 WL 4225217, at *9 (E.D. Tex. Sept. 17, 2017)
`“In light of the above, the IPR petitions and the recent decisions regarding institution have no legal impact on claim
`construction.”
`
`See Blitzsafe Texas LLC v. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, No. 2:17-cv-00430, 2019 WL 2212646,
`at *8 (E.D. Tex. May 22, 2019) (citations omitted)
`
`“The court is not bound by a preliminary claim construction used by the PTAB for the limited purpose of denying an
`IPR request.”

`
`Second, there is no estoppel. ASUS proposed a construction that it forgot
`to apply, so Maxell pointed out this deficiency to the PTAB while applying
`ASUS’s construction.

`“Solely” For The Purposes Of The IPR
`
`Trirascular, Inc. v. Samuels, 812 F.3d 1056, 1062 (Fed. Cir. 2016). Thus, as required
`
`by the applicable rules, this Petition uses the BRI standard and, except as described
`
`below, applies the plain English meaning of the claim terms. Petitioners reserve all
`
`rights to take a different position with respect to claim construction in any other
`
`proceeding that does not rely on the BRI standard.

`ASUS Proposed A Broadest Reasonable Interpretation Construction

`
`Accordingly, for purposes of this IPR only, Petitioners propose the following
`
`BRI constructions of these terms: "a device for getting location information denoting
`
`a present place of said portable terminal" should be construed as "a wireless or
`
`cellular antenna, OR a GPS, OR a Personal Handyphone System,;, AND an infrared
`

`place of said terminal”
`Maxell Pointed Out That ASUS Failed To Apply This Construction
`Rendering Its Petition Non-Compliant With 37 CFR § 42.104
`
`4 While Patent Owner does not contend that such a construction is proper, for
`
`purposes of the IPR, it is Petitioner's burden to propose a construction and then
`
`explain how the construed claim is unpatentable. See 3 7 CFR § 4 2 .104(b )( 4). The
`
`Petition fails to do so. Thus, the Petition does not comply with the requirements set
`
`forth in 37 CFR § 42.104, and for this reason alone, the Petition should not be
`
`instituted.

`Maxell Pointed Out That It Disagreed With ASUS’S Proposed

`
`3 Patent Owner reserves all rights regarding arguments for the construction of these
`
`terms under the Phillips standard, i.e., as set forth in litigation and/or in Patent
`
`Owner's response to the extent the PT AB decides to institute this Petition. For
`
`example, the Petitioner's proposed structure are overly narrow and conflate various
`
`alternative structures disclosed in the specification. However, Patent Owner will
`
`apply Petitioner' s forwarded constructions to the prior art in its Preli1ninary
`
`Response because it is Petitioner' s burden to propose a construction and then apply
`
`these constructions in the prior art analysis, which Petitioner fails to do.

`Maxell Pointed Out That It Was Applying ASUS’S Proposed Construction
`When Discussing Prior Art
`
`Using Petitioner' s own proposed constn1ction of "a device for getting
`
`location information denoting a present place of said portable terminal," the
`
`Suzuki/Nosaka combination does not disclose this limitation.
`
`Petitioner' s
`
`proposed construction for the corresponding structure for this means-plus-function
`
`term is "a wireless or cellular antenna, or a GPS, or a Personal Handyphone
`
`System; and an infrared ray sensor; and a control unit for analyzing received data,
`
`with the control unit calculating location information as disclosed in 5:48-56, and
`
`Fig. 2." Petition at 18-19.4 However, neither Suzuki nor Nosaka disclose an
`
`"infrared ray sensor"-the phrase is completely absent from the translated copies
`
`of the references-a necessary component of Petitioner's proposed construction.

`The IPR Proceedings Did Not Create A Clear Disavowal Of Claim Scope
`
`• Thus, the IPR proceedings provide anything but a clear and unmistakable surrender
`of claim scope.
`
`• ASUS itself had proposed a construction for the IPR proceeding only, Maxell was
`under no obligation to set forth a construction under Phillips standard at the PTAB
`when ASUS had submitted a non-compliant petition.
`
`• Maxell made the record clear that it did not agree with ASUS’s proposed construction
`as it was overly narrow.
`
`• Apple’s proposed construction should be rejected and the term should be construed
`consistent with the specification.
