Case IPR2022-00499 U.S. Patent No. 7,825,537 Baker et al., CMOS CIRCUIT DESIGN, LAYOUT, AND SIMULATION, IEEE Press (1998) (selected excerpts) Erickson, FUNDAMENTALS OF POWER ELECTRONICS, Chapman & Hall, International Thomson Publishing (1997) (selected excerpts)
an order terminating the preliminary proceeding initiated by the petition for inter partes review filed on February 1, 2022, directed to Patent No. 7,825,537 (“the challenged patent”) and assigned case number IPR2022-00499.

2 Petition: Petition for Inter Partes Review of the 537 Patent

Document IPR2022-00499, No. 2 Petition - Petition for Inter Partes Review of the 537 Patent (P.T.A.B. Feb. 1, 2022)
Specifically, Baarman describes an inductive power transfer system that Attorney Docket No. 46570-0005IP1 IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,825,537 provides separate control of the frequency and duty cycle of a switching signal in the primary circuit.
Figure 6, for example, depicts a process performed by a primary controller to dynamically adjust the operating frequency toward resonance to maintain peak power transfer efficiency: Attorney Docket No. 46570-0005IP1 IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,825,537
Moreover, a POSITA would have been further motivated by Partovi-002’s suggestions to implement magnetic and mechanical structures that achieve a predetermined position/alignment of the primary and secondary inductors so as to provide convenient, user-friendly methods of relative positioning performed quickly and with a reduced likelihood of user error.
Baarman thus discloses a control circuit that automatically selectively adjusts the frequency (said characteristic) based on the over-current/over-voltage conditions detected from the Attorney Docket No. 46570-0005IP1 IPR of U.S. Patent No. 7,825,537 comparison of the measured current/voltage to a constant reference value.
The evidence here confirms that the predictable combination of Flowerdew in view of Jang would have provided a “switch element” (e.g., MOSFET transistor) configured for selectively applying a time varying electric current as recited in Element [12.3].
