`
`U.S. Patent 8,782,528
`
`PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
`Petitioner requests inter partes review of claims 1-5, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 27, and
`
`28 of U.S. Patent No. 8,782,528 (“the ’528 Patent”). The claims recite a system that
`
`includes a personal computing device, a server, and a content presentation device.
`
`’528 Patent, Abstract. When the personal computing device sends a request to the
`
`server identifying media content to play in a media player on the content presentation
`
`device, the server sends a message to the content presentation device, causing the
`
`content to be played by the media player. Id., 6:30-46. The server mediates the
`
`personal computing device’s control of content presentation at the content
`
`presentation device using a synchronization code and command conversion. Id., 5:2-
`
`31, 6:47-58. The server associates the synchronization code with the personal
`
`computing device and content presentation device. The server performs command
`
`conversion by converting a playback control command sent by the personal
`
`computing device into programming code for controlling playback in the media
`
`player at the content presentation device. Id.; Bederson, ¶51-52.
`
`But server-mediated control of content presentation, including using
`
`synchronization codes and command conversion, was known before April 21, 2011,
`
`the earliest-claimed priority date of the ’528 Patent. Muthukumarasamy describes a
`
`system that includes a personal computing device, a server system, and a content
`
`presentation device. Muthukumarasamy, [0044]-[0045]. In Muthukumarasamy, the
`

`
`IPR2022-00793 Petition
`
`
`U.S. Patent 8,782,528
`
`personal computing device sends a message to the server system identifying content
`
`for presentation on the content presentation device, and the server system sends a
`
`message to the content presentation device, causing the content to be presented at
`
`the content presentation device. Id. Presentation of content through specified media
`
`players was likewise known. Muthukumarasamy “controls delivery of selected
`
`media content and selects and controls the media devices that deliver the selected
`
`media content according to a media type of the selected media content.” Id., [0048],
`
`[0057]-[0058]. Muthukumarasamy further converts generic commands into
`
`commands specific to the particular media player playing back the content. Id.,
`
`[0044]. Hayward further describes media players that present media content received
`
`via the internet in different formats and transferring a media player to a client based
`
`on a user’s selection of the media content. Hayward, 3:53-63, Abstract, 5:38-6:4,
`
`FIG. 2; Bederson, ¶53.
`
`Because the claims of the ’528 Patent were known in the art prior to its earliest
`
`priority date, Petitioner requests that the Board institute review and cancel the
`
`challenged claims. Bederson, ¶54.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`Petitioner requests review and cancellation of the challenged claims under the
`
`following grounds:

`XII. CONCLUSION
`Petitioner has established a reasonable likelihood of prevailing with respect to
`
`each of claims 1-5, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 27, and 28. Petitioner, therefore, requests the
`
`Board institute inter partes review and cancel these claims as unpatentable.
