32 Order Other: Conduct of the Proceeding 37 CFR § 425

Document IPR2021-00917, No. 32 Order Other - Conduct of the Proceeding 37 CFR § 425 (P.T.A.B. Dec. 16, 2022)
a. BACKGROUND FACTS The Petition for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,933,431 (“the ’431 patent”) in the present case was filed on March 14, 2021.
Patent Owner argued that the identity of Petitioner’s members was material to the analysis of whether or not to institute the present inter partes review.
Thus, Patent Owner chose to exclude real party-in- interest and privity as issues to be addressed during the trial phase of the present proceeding.
Even if we were to go back to October, when Patent Owner first made its request, at that time all briefs from the parties had been submitted and the oral hearing had been conducted.
Patent Owner reasons that the Board can order Petitioner to provide discovery regarding its relationship with Samsung.

28 Final Written Decision original: Final Written Decision original

Document IPR2021-00920, No. 28 Final Written Decision original - Final Written Decision original (P.T.A.B. Nov. 30, 2022)
If the specification “reveal[s] a special definition given to a claim term by the patentee that differs from the meaning it would otherwise possess[,] ... the inventor’s lexicography governs.” Phillips v. AWH Corp., 415 F.3d 1303, 1316 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (en banc) (citing CCS Fitness, Inc. v. Brunswick Corp., 288 F.3d 1359, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2002)).
Patent Owner argues that “Numazaki requires two photo-detection units to perform an analysis of a target object and control the computer, so it does not teach or suggest ‘determining’ finger movement from reflected light that is ‘electro-optically’ sensed using one ‘sensor means,’ as set forth in [the] claim.” PO Resp. 13.
For the above reasons, Patent Owner’s arguments do not undermine the showing by Petitioner that Numazaki in view of the knowledge of a PHOSITA teaches all of the aspects of the determining movement claim element.
For the above reasons, Patent Owner’s arguments do not undermine the showing by Petitioner that Numazaki in view of the knowledge of a PHOSITA teaches all of the aspects of the computer means claim element.
Petitioner argues that Numazaki’s fifth embodiment teaches a “conference record system” or TV telephone and that “a PHOSITA would have been motivated to implement this transmission functionality in the portable device described in Numazaki’s eighth embodiment.” Pet. at 32–33 (citing Ex. 1003, 38:6–16, 40:16–49; Ex. 1008 ¶¶ 50–52, 58): id. at 33–34.

27 Other Hearing transcript: Other Hearing transcript

Document IPR2021-00920, No. 27 Other Hearing transcript - Other Hearing transcript (P.T.A.B. Nov. 28, 2022)
So in a high precision application like controlling objects in a laptop environment such as is depicted in Numazaki in the 8th embodiment Dr. Bederson analyzed the benefits of maybe adding a ring to improve detection.
Patent 7,933,431 B2 8,553,079 B2 embodiments you’re relying on here in figure 8 are laptops and palm tops and they all seem to show a, you know, a gesture that’s fairly close to the device which kind of makes sense because it’s taking, you know, a picture which has to be illuminated to do this difference.
As we see on DX-4, claims 1, 7 and 14 each recite some form of imaging that captures movement of an object such as a user’s finger so that the user can perform device control through hand gestures and as we saw in the ‘079 proceeding, we are relying on Numazaki’s 8th embodiment to satisfy those limitations.
Patent Owner did not elaborate on how reducing video frames to one hundredth the original size would have no impact on the overall bandwidth and that’s simply a technically illogical conclusion to reach.
Your Honor asked a pointed question what evidence has Patent Owner presented in this case that rebuts Dr. Bederson’s analysis of Numazaki’s 5th embodiment and its conclusion that the portable TV telephone is in fact a cell phone.
