`
`(a) THRESHOLD.—TheDirector may not authorize an inter partes
`review to be instituted unless the Director determines that the
`information presented in the petition filed under section 311 and
`any response filed under section 313 shows that there is a
`reasonable likelihood that the petitioner would prevail with
`respect to at least 1 of the claims challenged in the petition.
`
`Google LLC (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for inter partes review
`
`(Paper 1 (“Pet.”or “Petition’’)) challenging claims 1, 2 and 5—9 of U.S.
`
`Patent 8,356,251 B2 (Ex. 1001 (251 Patent”)). Touchstream
`
`Technologies, Inc. (“Patent Owner”) timely filed a Preliminary Response
`
`(Paper 6 (“Prelim. Resp.”)). With our authorization, Petitioner filed a Reply
`
`to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response (Paper7 (“Pet. Reply to POPR”)),
`
`and Patent Ownerfiled a Sur-reply to Petitioner’s Preliminary Reply (Paper
`
`9 (“PO Sur-reply to Pet. Reply”)).
`
`The standard for instituting an inter partes review is set forth in
`
`35 U.S.C. § 314(a), which provides as follows:
`
`Petitioner challenges claims 1, 2 and 5—9 as unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 103 in two groundsof unpatentability (Pet. 2-3). Generally, Patent
`
`Ownercontendsthat the Petition should be deniedasto all challenged
`
`claims (see Prelim. Resp.). Based on our review of the record, we conclude
`
`that Petitioner is reasonably likely to prevail in demonstrating that at least
`
`one of the challenged claims is not patentable.
`
`On April 24, 2018, the Supreme Court held that a final written
`
`decision under 35 U.S.C. § 318(a) must decide the patentability of all claims
`
`challengedin the petition (SAS Inst., Inc. v. Iancu, 138 S. Ct. 1348 (2018)).

`
`challengedin the petition (SAS Inst., Inc. v. Iancu, 138 S. Ct. 1348 (2018)).
`
`
`
`Accordingly, weinstitute inter partes review onall of the challenged claims
`
`based onall of the groundsidentified in the Petition.
`
`Our preliminary findings of fact and conclusions discussed below are
`
`based on the evidentiary record developed thus far. This Decision to
`
`institute trial is not a final decision as to the patentability of any challenged
`
`claim. Any final decision will be based on the full record developed during
`
`trial.
`
`B. Real Parties in Interest
`
`Patent Ownerstates that Touchstream Technologies,Inc. is the real-
`
`party-in-interest (Paper5, 1).
`
`Petitioner states that Google LLCis the real-party-in-interest
`
`(Pet. 79).'
`
`C. Related Matters
`
`Petitioner and Patent Ownerindicate the ’251 Patent was asserted in
`
`the following district court proceeding: Touchstream Techs, Inc. v. Google,
`
`LLC, No. 6-21-cv-00569 (W.D. Tex.) (Pet. 79; Paper 5, 1). Petitioner
`
`further indicates that the ’251 Patent was asserted in the following district
`
`court proceeding: Touchstream Techs., Inc v. Vizbee, Inc., No, 1-17-cv-

`
`Furthermore, personal computing device 20 controls the selection of

`

`
`That is, personal computing device 20 sendsa signal for controlling media
`
`playback to server system 24; server system 24, in turn, sendsa signalto
`
`television set 22, which correspondingly displays the controlled media(id. at
`
`[w]hen a user makes a selection using the personal computing
`device 20 for particular content to be displayed on the television
`display 23, a signal is sent through the Internet (or other network)
`21 to the server system 24. A corresponding commandsignal
`then is passed along [from server system 24] to the connected
`television set 22 which acts on a transmission code contained
`within the signal and performs specified commands

`Weconstrue claim terms according to the standard set forth in Phillips
`

`
`C.F.R. § 42.100(b) (2021)). Under Phillips, claim terms are afforded “their
`
`ordinary and customary meaning”(Phillips, 415 F.3d at 1312). “[T]he
`
`ordinary and customary meaningof a claim term is the meaning that the
`
`term would have to a person of ordinary skill in the art in question at the
`
`time of the invention”(id. at 1313). “Importantly, the person of ordinary
`
`skill in the art is deemed to read the claim term not only in the context of the
`
`particular claim in which the disputed term appears, but in the context of the
`
`entire patent, including the specification” (id.). An inventor may rebut that
`
`presumption by providing a definition of the term in the specification “with
`
`reasonable clarity, deliberateness, and precision” Un re Paulsen, 30 F.3d
`
`1475, 1480 (Fed. Cir. 1994)). In the absence of such a definition, limitations
`
`are not to be read from the specification into the claims (Un re Van Geuns,
`
`988 F.2d 1181, 1184 (Fed. Cir. 1993)).
`
`Petitioner asserts that we “need not construe any claimsto resolve
`
`[this] controversy” andthatit “adopts” Patent Owner’s “proposed plain and
`
`ordinary meaningforall terms [from] the parallel district court action”
`
`(Pet. 13-14 (citing Ex. 1014)).
`
`Patent Owner doesnotassert any particular claim construction at this
`
`stage in the proceeding (Prelim. Resp. 20).
`
`Onthis record, we determine that no termsor phrases in the claims
`
`require express construction (see Realtime Data, LLC v. Iancu, 912 F.3d
