`
`650. Accordingly, secondary considerations further support that the claims at issue
`
`here are not obvious.
`
`F.
`
`Additional Potential Grounds
`
`651.
`
`It is my understanding that Apple was required to elect a certain number of prior
`
`art reference and combinations to for its invalidity case and elected the following grounds:
`
`Apple’s Final Election of Prior Art, April 7, 2020
`
`
`
`652. Dr. Paradiso has presented these grounds and I have addressed/rebutted each one
`
`of these grounds. Nevertheless, Dr. Paradiso also states in his report that “all of the Asserted
`
`Claims of the Asserted Patents are invalid as being either anticipated, or rendered obvious by the
`
`prior art references, in combination with the knowledge of one of ordinary skill, as discussed
`
`below in this Report.” Paradiso Inv. Rep. ¶27. It is my understanding that Dr. Paradiso is not
`
`allowed to and/or has not set forth any invalidity grounds based on anticipation.
`
`653. Nevertheless, to the extent Dr. Paradiso asserts that any of the prior art anticipates
`
`a particular claim, it is my opinion that this prior art will not anticipate the claims or the same
`
`reasons as noted above with respect to non-obviousness.
`
`654. Further, to the extent that Dr. Paradiso relies on Maruyama as an anticipation
`
`reference as or as a preliminary reference, I note that Maruyama also has significant deficiencies
`
`as note about and would not anticipate and/or render obvious the asserted claims for the
`
`’317/’999/’498 patents for the reasons discussed above.

`
`If Dr. Paradiso is allowed to explain a particular ground beyond Apple’s Final
`
`Election of Prior Art, I reserve all rights to address these positions and rebut them.
`
`IX.
`
`PATENT-ELIGIBILITY OF THE ASSERTED CLAIMS
`
`656.
`
`In ¶¶293—310 Dr. Paradiso surmises that the asserted claims of the ’317/’999/’498
`
`patents are directed to routine and conventional components, do not disclose any inventive
`
`concept, and use conventional techniques. For example, paragraph ¶293 of Dr. Paradiso’s report
`
`is excerpted below:
`
`
`
`Paradiso Inv. Rep. ¶293
`
`
`
`657.
`
`In providing these opinions, Dr. Paradiso oversimplifies the claims and
`
`contradicts positions he took earlier in this case. These opinions oversimplify the inventions
`
`claimed in the ’317/’999/’498 patents and contradict Dr. Paradiso himself. Now, Dr. Paradiso
`
`abstracts the claim and presents a theme that the claimed inventions are just a combination of
`
`well-known components that a POSITA would have been able to build. But, earlier in the case,
`
`Dr. Paradiso himself testified that “the claim talks clearly about a device. The [claimed] device is
`
`described in a very limited part of the patent” and that “other things are possible, sure, but if you
`
`really look at what this device is, the patent gives a very clear, clear description of it.” Paradiso

`Dep. Tr. at 67:3-18.

`
`658. Specifically, the inventors of these patents conceived a portable terminal that
`
`would aid users who wished to have real-time directions while walking. ’498 Patent at 2:44-54.
`
`These inventors implemented a portable terminal that displays information about the direction a
`
`user is facing and displays navigation information that can be displayed on screens of different
`
`sizes including, for example, a narrow screen of a portable terminal. ’498 Patent at 2:66-3:20.
`
`659. The portable terminal conceived by the inventors include a device for obtaining a
`
`location and orientation, so that the user does not have to input information regarding the present
`
`place. ’498 Patent at 2:56–65. As shown below, the portable terminal may also display one or
`
`more arrows to guide the user during walking:
`
`’498 Patent at Figs. 3(a) – 3(f).
`
`
`
`660.
`
`In addition, the portable terminal may provide different services such as “route
`
`guidance service,” “neighborhood guidance service,” “meeting by appointment guidance
`
`service,” and “present place guidance service.” ’498 Patent at 3:21-35. Among other things these

`
`services include provide a route for the user to navigate and walk on, enabling the user to share
`
`or retrieve the location of a friend who is also using a portable terminal such that the user could
`
`navigate to his friend, and/or identify shops and/or services in the neighborhood.
`
`661. Dr. Paradiso explained that: “[t]he goal of the Asserted Navigation Patents is to
`
`facilitate walking navigation, i.e., providing location information to a walking user. See ’498
`
`Patent at 1:10-13. To achieve this, a POSITA would understand that the experience of the walking
`
`user would be improved by providing functional location determination for both open/outdoor
`
`areas and in obstructed/indoor areas.” Paradiso Claim Construction Decl. (October 4, 2019) at ¶29.
`
`662. During his deposition Dr. Paradiso agreed that the “goal” of the ’317/’999/’498
`
`patents is “to facilitate walking navigation.”
`
`
`
`Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 36:16-24
`
`
`
`663. Further, Dr. Paradiso agreed that the ’317/’999/’498 patents achieve this goal by
`
`“improving the experience of a walking user by providing functional location determination for
`
`both open outdoors areas and in obstructed indoor areas”:

`
`Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 37:1-6
`
`
`
`
`664. Further, Dr. Paradiso explained that the ’317/’999/’498 patents used “technical
`
`aspects” to achieve these goals and that multiple people including engineers at MIT were working
`
`on overcoming similar problems. Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 37:7-38:8 (“indoors, radio is problematics,
`
`especially around that time, it definitely was, GPS still is problematic indoors.”)
`
`665. Dr. Paradiso also agreed that the ’317/’999/’498 patents were trying to overcome
`
`some of the problems in the walking navigation systems in indoor areas and that even his GPS
`
`phone by Nokia was of very limited use for walking navigation, indicating that even Nokia had
`
`not solved the problems that the inventors of the ’317/’999/’498 patents solved. In fact, Dr.
`
`Paradiso explained that his Nokia phone was “using GPS and it was poor.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at
`
`58:2-6.

`
`666. Dr. Paradiso further explained that this Nokia phone was “using GPS and it was
`
`poor.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 58:2-6.
`
`667. Dr. Paradiso also agreed that at the time of the ’317/’999/’498 patents he himself
`
`at MIT was working on a system “to overcome these challenges in the technology” that the
`
`inventors of the ’317/’999/’498 patents were attempting to overcome because “GPS was not an
`
`option indoors, you could not use it” and “Radio location -- ultra-wideband was in its infancy and
`
`still very flaky, and even now it's not established, really.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 39:16-40:11. Dr.
`
`Paradiso himself continued to work on performing research in the subject of handheld navigation
`
`systems that use annotations to provide user orientation and published a paper about seven years
`
`after the priority of the patents in 2007 where he discusses “a mobile, location and orientation
`
`aware device for browsing an interacting with real-time sensor network data,” where:
`
`See Ubicorder: A Mobile Device for Situated Interactions with Sensor Networks by Manas Mittal
`
`and Joseph A. Paradiso. Dr. Paradiso’s paper in 2007 states that situating a user by using physical
`
`location and orientation simplifies navigation and further describes the benefits of using a
`
`
`
`directional arrow to “indicate orientation”:

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`See Ubicorder: A Mobile Device for Situated Interactions with Sensor Networks at 2-3.
`
`668. The above shows that Dr. Paradiso and his colleague were doing research and
`
`developing a “mobile, location and orientation aware device” in 2007, which was similar subject
`
`matter as that of the ’317/’999/’498 patents. The inventors of the ’317/’999/’498 patents were
`
`working on this subject matter in 1999 and showing how to denote orientation prior to Dr.
`
`Paradiso’s work.
`
`669. Dr. Paradiso further testified that even Microsoft radar came out “some years later”
`
`to the’317/’999/’498 patents to address these challenges, but even then the Microsoft system “was
`
`was still very flaky in terms of how well you knew where someone was.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at

`
`Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 39:16-40:11
`
`
`
`670. Dr. Paradiso further agreed that at the time of the ’317/’999/’498 patents, there were
`
`challenges with the technology in cellular positioning and GPS positioning because “[i]ndoors
`
`they quite often didn’t even work . . . they just wouldn’t work [and o]utdoors there were challenges,
`

`

`
`
`
`inventors were trying to overcome these challenges and “the patent was trying to build the device
`
`for walking navigation, and to realistically do that, you had to consider the various ways people
`
`were locating people” because GPS “is very coarse location.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 41:5-20.

`
`Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 41:5-20.
`
`
`
`672. Dr. Paradiso further agreed that an additional advantage of the claimed system is to
`
`“compress the display of the information” to be able to convey it on a small screen. Paradiso Dep.
`
`Tr. at 42:10-14.
`
`Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 42:10-14.
`
`
`
`673. Dr. Paradiso further testified that “there were always challenges” and “a lot of
`
`people were working on” these challenges of displaying information in a compressed manner on
`
`a small screen at the “same time” as the inventors of the ’317/’999/’498 patents including Dr.
`
`Paradiso’s friends at “Georgia Tech,” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 42:19-43:3. Dr. Paradiso further
`
`elaborated that “one of the things the patent talks about, very definitely” is “enabling the

`
`navigation information to be displayed on a small-sized screen in a manner easily understood to
`
`the user/walker.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 44:18-23.
`
`Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 44:17-23.
`
`
`
`674. Thus, according to Dr. Paradiso’s testimony noted above, the inventors of the
`
`’317/’999/’498 patents were working on overcoming the same challenges that “a lot of people
`
`were working on” including himself at MIT and his friends at Georgia Tech. According to Dr.
`
`Paradiso, companies like Nokia and Microsoft had systems that used GPS but these products
`
`provided “very coarse location” and “[i]ndoors they quite often didn’t even work.”
`
`675.
`
`It is with this backdrop that the inventors of the ’317/’999/’498 patents disclosed
`
`and received patents for their claimed inventions with the goal of providing a system to facilitate
`
`walking navigation and improve “the experience of a walking user by providing functional location
`
`determination for both open outdoors areas and in obstructed indoor areas.” Paradiso Dep. Tr. at
`
`36:16-37:6.
`
`676.
`
`It is my opinion that the ’317/’999/’498 patents achieve these goals by claiming
`
`systems that are directed to different aspects and services disclosed in the specification and each
`
`provide a specific technical solution. For example, claims 1, 15, and 17 of the ’317 Patent are
`
`generally directed to providing a portable terminal with specific devices that provide a pedestrian
`
`with navigation information about his/her walk including, for example, route information,
`
`destination symbol, starting point symbol, and present place identification. The claims further

`
`explain that the portable terminal can change the display according to a change in orientation of
`
`the portable terminal. For example, the portable terminal is able to use the calculated location
`
`and orientation information to provide the user with accurate walking navigation information
`
`including, for example, the current location, route information, destination symbol, starting
`
`symbol, and present place identification. As part of providing walking navigation information,
`
`the patent explains that the portable terminal changes the display to account for a change in
`
`orientation of the device, which allows the user to see which direction he/she is facing/walking
`
`along the route.
`
`677. Further, claims 1 and 3 of the ’999 Patent are generally directed to providing a
`
`portable terminal with specific devices that provide a pedestrian with location information about
`
`another portable terminal that may, for example, be owned by his friend. The portable terminal
`
`further provides the pedestrian with route guidance information as walking navigation
`
`information to this another portable terminal. This way the pedestrian is able to identify the
`
`location of his friend and is then able to get walking navigation information that guides him/her
`
`to walk to the friend. For example, these devices enable the portable terminal to connect to a
`
`server and get the location of his friend’s device. Using this information, the portable terminal
`
`provides the user with navigation information and a route such that the user is able to walk to his
`
`friend. As part of providing walking navigation information, the patent explains that the portable
`
`terminal changes the display to account for a change in orientation of the device, which allows
`
`the user to see which direction he/she is facing/walking along the route to the friend.
`
`678.
`
`In addition, claims 1 and 3 of the ’498 Patent are generally directed to providing a
`
`portable terminal with specific devices that provide a pedestrian with navigation information
`

`
`providing navigation information. The claims further explain that the portable gets orientation
`
`information of the display of the portable terminal. This way the display can be adjusted
`
`according to the orientation information.
`
`679. Claims 10 and 13 of the ’498 Patent are generally directed to providing a portable
`
`terminal with specific devices that provide a pedestrian with location information about another
`
`portable terminal and also providing a full route from the starting point to the destination, that is
`
`the location of another portable terminal. The portable terminal further gets orientation
`
`information of the display of the portable terminal. This way the display can be adjusted
`
`according to the orientation information.
`
`680. Specifically, claims 3 and 13 additionally require the portable terminal to
`
`calculate orientation of the display of the portable terminal. As part of the pedestrian’s walk to
`
`an end point or to a friend’s location, these claims enable the user to account for the display
`
`orientation such that the user is able to rotate his/her device (e.g., portrait/landscape) to see
`
`additional views of the route and/or to look at the route from a different perspective. This
`
`provides the user with flexibility of holding the device in different ways and also see additional
`
`details about the route.
`
`681. Consistent with the Court’s finding, it is my opinion that the claimed inventions
`
`as a whole—including the various devices—work together as claimed to overcome the technical
`
`challenges described by Dr. Paradiso and to meet the goals of the patent including at least
`
`providing a device that “enable[es] the navigation information to be displayed on a small-sized
`
`screen in a manner easily understood to the user/walker” (Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 44:18-23) and a
`
`device that improves “the experience of a walking user by providing functional location
`
`determination for both open outdoors areas and in obstructed indoor areas.” (Paradiso Dep. Tr. at

`
`36:16-37:6). For example, in his declaration, even Dr. Paradiso explained that “to achieve the
`
`goal of walking navigation, a POSITA would have understood, consistent with the disclosures in
`
`the specification, that a combination of GPS and some means of indoor location
`
`determination, likely an infrared sensor, would be required to cover as many potential use
`
`scenarios as possible.” Paradiso Claim Construction Decl. (October 4, 2019) at ¶31.
`
`682. The inventors arrived at these solutions no later than July 12, 1999. This was well
`
`before the massive popularity of smart phones and over eight years before the release of the first
`
`iPhone by Apple in June 2007. Further, this was over a decade before Apple included a compass
`
`in its iPhone;14 over eleven years before Apple included a gyroscope in its iPhone;15 over thirteen
`
`years before Apple developed its own Maps application in iOS 6;16 and eight years before Dr.
`
`Paradiso and his colleague published a paper regarding development of “a mobile, location and
`
`orientation aware device for browsing an interacting with real-time sensor network data,” where
`
`he identified one of the main contributions as a “location and orientation aware sensor.”
`
`683. Thus, as Dr. Paradiso previously acknowledged that the claimed inventions are
`
`not directed to just any combination of the parts for a navigation system but are directed to a
`
`specific device configuration. Paradiso Dep. Tr. at 67:3-18. Further, it is my opinion that this
`
`configuration is novel, non-obvious, and directed to patentable subject matter.
`
`684.
`
`I further note the following:
`
`• Dr. Paradiso has not explained that if the claimed arrangement was so “routine and
`conventional” then why have two experts by Apple (Dr. Paradiso and Dr. Kotzin at the
`PTAB) failed to identify even a single prior art system or patent which include all the

`
`claimed elements. Both of Apple’s experts have only set forth obviousness grounds
`explicitly acknowledging that they could not find a single prior art system or patent that
`included all of the claimed elements.
`
`• Dr. Paradiso has not explained that if the claimed arrangement was so “routine and
`conventional” then why did Apple’s engineers not achieve it when they released the
`iPhone 2G in 2007 (almost eight years after the priority date of the patent). For
`example, as shown in the following timeline, the iPhone 2G did not include a compass,
`compass application, or a gyroscope. Further, the iPhone 2G did not include a walking
`navigation application designed by Apple. As shown below, the screenshots show that
`the Maps application in the original iPhone 2G was a “Google” application and only
`shows a “car” icon:
