27 Final Written Decision original: Final Written Decision original

Document IPR2022-01397, No. 27 Final Written Decision original - Final Written Decision original (P.T.A.B. Mar. 12, 2024)
Accordingly, Xing purports to provide “a system and method for reducing the fuel consumption of a work vehicle that takes into account the operating efficiencies of the engine, transmission and various other power consuming components of the vehicle.” Id. at 1:63–67.
Patent 9,975,538 B2 Based on the arguments presented and the cited references, we find Petitioner’s unopposed definition of the level of ordinary skill reasonable, supported by the prior art evidence, the Specification, and Dr. Stein’s Declaration testimony (Ex. 1003 ¶¶ 21–24), and, for purposes of this Decision, adopt it as our own.
More particularly, Petitioner asserts that “Willis’s milling machine, modified to include Xing’s algorithm and CVT, would have resulted in a controller that adjusted engine speed based on load and predefined efficiency points, as claimed.” Id. at 47 (citing Ex. 1006, 2:9–12, 3:50–67, 11:65–12:11).
Relying on the declaration testimony of Dr. Stein, Petitioner asserts that one of ordinary skill in the art “would have been motivated to modify Willis to include a variable transmission and control system like that taught by Xing to ‘maintain a desired rotor speed.’” Id. at 51 (citing Ex. 1003 ¶¶ 85–87).
Reply 20–21)), Patent Owner argues Petitioner’s argument is unpersuasive based on the deposition testimony of Dr. Kemal, who “testified that, even in view of Petitioner’s hypothetical configuration in which the swash plate angle is at zero, power could still be transmitted from the engine to the rotor.” Id. at 18–19 (citing Pet.

26 Other Hearing transcript: Other Hearing transcript

Document IPR2022-01397, No. 26 Other Hearing transcript - Other Hearing transcript (P.T.A.B. Feb. 9, 2024)
Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati 650 Page Mill Road Palo Alto, California 94304-1050 The above-entitled matter came on for hearing on Monday, December 11, 2023, commencing at 10:14 a.m., at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia.
And my colleague is telling me also that if we take a look at Xing, column 9, lines 18 to 56, that's another place where it's discussing this relationship of the P engine P load and how that's corrected to determine the optimal fuel efficiency.
And it's very clear here Caterpillar made the argument, "It is, therefore, a matter of course, that if the increased costs are accepted, the skilled man must use the drive replacing the human manual force if the rear support wheel has become too heavy due to the size of the road construction machine."
To lay this out very clearly in our petition, a person of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to take the Piccoli shift cylinder, apply those teachings, then automate the movement of Volpe's wheel.
Dr. Klopp also contradicted Caterpillar's arguments by admitting several different reasons why a person of ordinary skill in the art would, in fact, have sought to steal -- steer a retracted non-coaxial rear wheel.
