49 Final Written Decision original: Final Written Decision original

Document IPR2023-01019, No. 49 Final Written Decision original - Final Written Decision original (P.T.A.B. Dec. 3, 2024)
Patent 10,368,179 B1 Owner later clarified that it proposes replacing the conjunction “and/or” in its original construction with just “and.” Id. at 52:6–20 (agreeing to take out the word “or,” “[g]iven the claim language that requires a virtual image”).
We decline to adopt Patent Owner’s proposed construction because it is unnecessary to resolve the meaning of this phrase to reach a decision here, as we determine below that a different limitation lacks support in an earlier priority application.
Thus, “a patentee bears the burden of establishing that its claimed invention is entitled to an earlier priority date than an asserted prior art reference.” In re Magnum Oil Tools Int’l, Ltd., 829 F.3d 1364, 1376 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (citing Dynamic Drinkware, 800 F.3d at 1379).
One benefit Petitioner proposes to support a rationale to combine is that a POSITA “would have implemented this feature to help protect the users from injury by bumping, hitting, tripping over, etc., real-world objects when moving around while viewing the virtual environment in the HMD (i.e., a type of head-mounted WED).” Id. at 43 (citing, e.g., Ex. 1003 ¶¶ 90, 251–254).
We also agree with Petitioner’s articulated benefit that the combination would “help protect the users from injury by bumping, hitting, tripping over, etc., real-world objects when moving around while viewing the virtual environment in the HMD (i.e., a type of head-mounted WED).” Id. at 43.

47 Other Hearing transcript: Other Hearing transcript

Document IPR2023-01019, No. 47 Other Hearing transcript - Other Hearing transcript (P.T.A.B. Oct. 2, 2024)
I want a big note here is that Jayne Piana, who is a LEAP practitioner, is going to handle the '179 additional issues that are at the bottom of this outline, but she is also going to have a very meaningful and substantial role, as you requested, because she is going to have to answer all the questions that you ask during the presentation.
Written description, it's the standard is that the disclosure of the application must reasonably convey to those skilled in the art that the inventor had possession of the claimed subject matter as of the filing date.
Also in his deposition, which is again Exhibit 1147 at page 85, lines 12 through 14, so slightly before the last reference, Dr. Begault testified that, "In the ways that are described in my declaration I believe those would be effective alerts of changes to binaural sound."
And then if we move to slide 43, this is regarding Figure 6, which I know you talked about extensively with Meta 's counsel, Patent Owner submits this is an example of a user leaving an environment and the switch occurs from binaural sound to mono or stereo.
I would also say -- Your Honor, I will respond to your question, but while I am assembling my thoughts I would also say that, as we discussed, the legal standard on written description is reasonably conveys to a person of ordinary skill in the art that the inventor was in possession of the claimed invention as of the filing date.
