`
`CERTAIN MOBILE DEVICES AND

`
`Investigation No. 337-TA-750
`
`MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF RESPONDENT MOTOROLA
`MOBILITY, INC.'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE
`AN AMENDED NOTICE OF PRIOR ART
`
`I. (cid:9)
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Respondent Motorola hereby moves to amend its Notice of Prior Art to add several prior
`
`art references and witnesses that were identified through documents produced and depositions
`
`taken after the filing of Motorola's Notice of Prior Art. Both Apple and the OUII Staff have
`
`stated that they will not oppose Motorola's motion.
`
`Pursuant to the Procedural Schedule in this Investigation, Motorola filed its Notice of
`
`Prior Art ("Original Notice") on June 10, 2011. Fact and expert discovery continued subsequent
`
`to the submission of Motorola's Original Notice. Based on that discovery, Motorola identified
`
`several additional prior art references and witnesses and promptly informed Apple and Staff of
`
`its intention to rely on these materials at the Hearing. Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice of
`
`Prior Art ("Proposed Amended Notice"), attached hereto as Exhibit A, contains three new prior
`
`art references for U.S. Patent No. 7,663,607 ("the '607 patent") and four new references for U.S.
`
`Patent No. 5,379,430 ("the '430 patent"). Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice also contains a
`
`

`
`CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`small number of additional references that relate to prior art systems and publications already
`
`listed on Motorola's Original Notice, as well as information relating to individuals
`
`knowledgeable about prior art publications and systems already identified on the Original
`
`Notice. Finally, certain edits have been made to Motorola's Original Notice for purposes of
`
`clarification; these edits do not add new material.
`
`II.
`
`LEGAL STANDARD
`
`Commission Rule 210.27(c) states, in relevant part, that "[a] party is under a duty
`
`seasonably to amend a prior [discovery] response . . . if the party learns that the response is in
`
`some material respect incomplete or incorrect and if the additional or corrective information has
`
`not otherwise been made known to the other party during the discovery process or in writing."
`
`See 19 C.F.R. § 210.27(c); see also Certain MLC Flash Memory Devices and Products
`
`Containing Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-689, Order No. 13 (Dec. 15, 2009) (ALJ Essex) (granting
`
`unopposed motion for leave to supplement notice of prior art); Certain Buffer Systems and
`
`Components Thereof Inv. No. 337-TA-609, Order No. 13 (Jan. 30, 2008) (All Essex) (same).
`
`III. MOTOROLA'S PROPOSED AMENDED NOTICE
`
`A. (cid:9)
`
`Proposed Amendments Related to the '607 and '828 Patents
`
`Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice identifies three additional U.S. Patent references
`
`for the '607 patent. Motorola's expert, Dr. Andrew Wolfe, identified these references after
`
`reviewing deposition transcripts from the named inventors on the '828 and '607 patents, each of
`
`which was taken after Motorola filed its Original Notice. Good cause exists for the addition of
`
`these references, because the information resulting in their identification was obtained through
`
`discovery that occurred after Motorola filed its Original Notice. Apple will not be prejudiced by
`
`the addition of these patent references, each of which was promptly produced to Apple and
`
`

`
`CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`disclosed in the Wolfe Opening Report to allow Apple's experts ample time to analyze and rebut
`
`these references in their respective Rebuttal Expert Reports.
`
`Also based on information learned after filing its Original Notice, Motorola has provided
`
`certain clarifications and additional information relating to prior art references that were already
`
`identified in Motorola's Original Notice. Specifically, Motorola obtained certified translations
`
`of two Japanese references — JP 2000-16193 and JP 2002-342033A — that are prior art to the
`
`'607 patent, and added these certified translations to Motorola's Amended Proposed Notice.
`
`Apple will not be prejudiced because the JP 2000-16193 reference was cited in prosecution of
`
`the '828 patent and appears on the face of that patent, and the JP 2002-342033A reference was
`
`already specifically identified in Motorola's Original Notice. Similarly, third-party depositions
`
`of Cirque and Atmel were not conducted until late July and provided Motorola with additional
`
`information about prior art systems already identified in Motorola's Original Notice; based on
`
`information from these depositions, Motorola has identified with specificity prior art systems
`
`from Cirque and Quantum Research Group (predecessor to Atmel) in its Proposed Amended
`
`Notice. Lastly, the depositions of Brian Huppi, Steve Hotelling, and Joshua Strickon, taken after
`
`Motorola filed its Original Notice, indicate that these individuals — all named inventors for the
`
`'607 patent — possess knowledge about capacitive sensing and multitouch prior art. Accordingly,
`
`these individuals have been added to Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice.
`
`B. (cid:9)
`
`Proposed Amendments Related to the '430 Patent
`
`Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice also contains three additional publications relating
`
`to prior art systems that were already identified in Motorola's Original Notice for the '430
`
`patent, including: two references relating to the ToolTalk prior art and one relating to online
`
`documentation of NeXTSTEP 2.0. The two ToolTalk references relate to art that was timely
`
`

`
`CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`charted in Motorola's interrogatory responses, and the NeXTSTEP 2.0 documentation clarifies
`
`more general descriptions of NeXTSTEP documentation also timely disclosed by Motorola.
`
`Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice also contains one additional prior art system for the '430
`
`Patent, the SOS system, which was previously disclosed in Motorola's invalidity contentions.
`
`Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice also clarifies that a previously identified prior art system
`
`is more properly named EMACS VM, rather than just EMACS. For each additional reference,
`
`Apple will not be prejudiced because each prior art system was already disclosed to Apple in
`
`Motorola's Original Notice.
`
`Finally, Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice contains the names of several individuals
`
`who have been identified by Motorola as knowledgeable about prior art systems and publications
`
`identified in its Original Notice for the '430 Patent. These individuals were identified through
`
`discovery in depositions taken after Motorola filed its Original Notice. For example, Frank
`
`Nguyen — the sole named inventor on the '430 Patent — revealed in deposition testimony
`
`provided after Motorola filed its Original Notice his knowledge of operating system prior art.
`
`Blaine Garst was Apple's corporate representative witness regarding NeXTSTEP and his
`
`deposition took place after Motorola filed its Original Notice. Keith Stephens was previously
`
`designated for the '607 and '828 patents when he should have been designated for the '430
`
`Patent. Apple will not be prejudiced by the addition of these individuals, whose areas of
`
`knowledge relate to prior art already on Motorola's Original Notice.
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`
`In light of the foregoing, good cause exists for all of the additions to Motorola's Proposed
`
`Amended Notice of Prior Art, since they are based on documents produced and depositions taken
`
`after the filing of Motorola's Original Notice of Prior Art. Apple does not oppose the additions
`
`

`
`CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS INFORMATION SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER
`
`to Motorola's Proposed Amended Notice of Prior Art, and it will not be prejudiced by them for
`
`the reasons set forth above.
