`“a device for getting a location information of another portable
`terminal from said another terminal via connected network”
`and “a device for retrieving a route from said present place to
`said destination”
`
`3.
`
`Claim 10 recites “a device for getting a location information of another
`
`portable terminal from said another terminal via connected network” and Claims 15
`
`and 18 recite “a device for retrieving a route from said present place to said
`
`destination.” ’317 Patent (Ex. 1001), 11:40-42; 12:21-22; 12:36-37. Both Petitioner
`
`and Patent Owner agree in current parallel litigation that these terms should be
`
`construed pursuant to 112-6. Joint Claim Construction and Prehearing Statement,
`
`(Ex. 1011), 2; Opening Claim Construction Brief, (Ex. 1012), 28.
`
`As has been permitted previously, Petitioner proposes this Board adopt the
`
`claim constructions advanced by Patent Owner in the parallel district court litigation
`
`for these claimed phrases. See Western Digital Corporation v. Spex Technologies,
`
`Inc., IPR2018-00084, (2018) (finding Petition based on claim constructions urged
`
`by Patent Owner satisfies the claim construction requirements and that Petitioner is
`
`not required to express its subjective agreement regarding correctness of the
`
`proffered claim construction or take ownership of the construction); see also
`
`General Electric v. Vestas, IPR2018-00928 (clarifying that while the petitioner does
`
`not have “to express its subjective agreement regarding [the] correctness of its
`
`proffered claim constructions,” the Petitioner nevertheless “cannot expressly
`
`disagree with the proffered constructions”) (citing Western Digital).

`For both “a device for getting a location information of another portable
`
`terminal from said another terminal via connected network” and “a device for
`
`retrieving a route from said present place to said destination,” Patent Owner has
`
`identified the device for data communication 76 as the proposed structure. Opening
`
`Claim Construction Brief, (Ex. 1012), 28-29. In support, Patent Owner identified the
`
`following disclosures in the ’317 Patent in support of this corresponding structure:
`
`Abstract, 1:10-15, 2:23-26, 2:51-3:1, 3:43-66, 4:14-39, 5:17- 21, 5:64-6:4, 6:9-18,
`
`8:17-9:39, 9:40-63, 10:29-34, Figures 5-7, 9, 10. Joint Claim Construction and
`
`Prehearing Statement, (Ex. 1011), 8, 10.
`
`As Patent Owner has asserted in the parallel litigation, the Board should adopt
`
`“a CPU and a device for data communication 76 of a portable terminal; or
`
`equivalents thereof” is the structure performing the claimed functions of getting
`
`location information of another portable terminal from said another terminal via
`
`connected network and retrieving a route from said present place to said destination.
`
`Opening Claim Construction Brief, (Ex. 1012), 28.
`
`IV. THERE
`IS A REASONABLE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE
`CHALLENGED CLAIMS OF THE
`’317 PATENT ARE
