`

`
`
`Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent Owner’s Motion does not merely refuse to
`
`accept that the Board has already rejected its positions on the merits at least three
`
`times, in three separate orders across two IPRs. It also ignores a more fundamental
`
`problem. The Opposition relies from beginning to end on the false premise that the
`
`filing of a motion to amend reopens the Board’s non-institution determinations
`
`constraining the scope of the trial. But Petitioner once again ignores past rulings
`
`by the Board, where the Board already considered and rejected this premise—and
`
`held that a motion to amend triggers no requirement to prove, let alone re-prove,
`
`patentability of subject matter already recited in original non-amended claims—
`
`“especially” claims challenged and denied institution. Amerigen Pharms. Ltd. v.
`
`Shire LLC, IPR2015-02009, Paper 38 at 6 (PTAB Mar. 31, 2017) [Ex. 2011].
`
`The Board has thus already thrice rejected Petitioner’s merits positions as to
`
`the subject matter of the substitute claim. Petitioner asks the Board to revisit these
`
`questions for at least a fourth time, improperly leveraging its past failures to once
`
`again re-sculpt its arguments. The Board should reject Petitioner’s latest “‘nothing
`
`to lose’ ploy . . . to restate its disagreement with the Board’s Institution Decision in
`
`an improper new brief,” id., Paper 21 [Ex. 2010] at 12, and grant the Motion.
`
`I. THE BOARD HAS ALREADY DECLINED TO TRY CLAIM 4 ISSUES.
`
`The Petition in this case sought review of Claims 1-8 of the ’414 Patent
`
`relying on two references: Simpson and the Intel Specification. Paper 1 at 9. The
`
` 1
`
`

`

`
`
`Board denied institution on Claims 2-4 because Petitioner failed to show that any
`
`combination of asserted references was reasonably likely to render the claims
`
`obvious. Paper 7 at 14-18, 22. Dissatisfied with this outcome, Petitioner sought
`
`rehearing as to Claim 4. Paper 11. After careful consideration and explanation,
`
`the Board reaffirmed on the merits. Paper 16.
`
`Petitioner then filed a second Petition attacking Claim 4. Kingston Tech.
`
`Co., Inc. v. Polaris Innovations Ltd., IPR2017-00974, Paper 1. It raised the same
`
`references as the first Petition (Simpson and the Intel Specification1) plus three
`
`others. Id. at 9-10. The Board again denied institution, explaining that the second
`
`Petition’s arguments and references, including its new references, still failed to
`
`raise a probability of unpatentability, and indeed were “‘substantially the same” as
`
`those in the first petition.” Id., Paper 8 at 13 (PTAB Aug. 14, 2017).2
`
`
`1 Petitioner called the Intel Specification a different name this time, and said
`
`it was a new reference, but it was the same reference. Id. Paper 6 at 15-17 (POPR).
`
`2 Petitioner’s August 18 Opposition to the Motion to Amend contumaciously
`
`ignores the Board’s denial of institution in -00974. Instead, Petitioner continues to
`
`insist that the Motion should be denied, for, inter alia, “the reasons set forth . . . in
`
`Petitioner’s IPR2017-00974 Petition.” Opposition at 17. By that logic, the Motion
`
`should be granted, for, inter alia, the reasons that the -00974 Petition was denied.
`
` 2
`
`

`

`
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend in the present case is thus supported by at
`
`least three decisions of the Board. It seeks to cancel instituted Claims 1 and 5-8
`
`and add one substitute claim 9. Claim 9 simply adds to the limitations of instituted
`
`Claim 8 the limitation of Claim 4—the exact same limitation that the Board has
`
`found, three times, not disclosed by Petitioner’s references and arguments:
`
`9. The printed circuit board according to claim 1, wherein: said
`printed circuit board has a width of 5.25 inches and has a height of 1
`to 1.2 inches perpendicular to said contact strip.
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend raises no new patentability issues and adds
`
`no newly drafted limitations. The Board’s prior decisions as to this subject matter,
`
`including the Board’s determinations in the Institution Decision and Decision on
`
`Request for Rehearing, cannot be revisited by Petitioner yet again now. And even
`
`if they could, Petitioner’s Opposition ultimately raises, yet again, materially the
`
`same arguments based on materially the same references that it made before.
`
`II. THE BOARD HAS ALREADY REJECTED THE PREMISE THAT A
`MOTION TO AMEND REOPENS ALREADY DECIDED QUESTIONS.
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion adds a substitute claim, Claim 9, that has a limitation
`
`the Board has already repeatedly found was not in the references raised by
`
`Petitioner. Patent Owner is entitled to rely on those prior rulings for purposes of
`
`its Motion to Amend. Any other result would frustrate the statutory framework,
`
`create complicated procedural problems, and contradict the Board’s past rulings.
`
` 3
`
`

`

`
`
`Petitioner argues that the Motion reopens already-decided issues in this case.
`
`That cannot be true, unless it is impossible for a motion to amend to rely upon the
`
`Board’s institution decision. This Motion is specifically drafted to not raise any
`
`new issues. Its proposed claim addresses only a limitation in a claim already
`
`issued, already challenged, already denied review twice, and already denied
`
`reconsideration. If this Motion opens up new issues for decision, all new claims
`
`necessarily do so. Thus, Petitioner’s theory has to be that any motion to amend
`
`must open up the patent owner to attack based on anything already decided against
`
`Petitioner. But no statute or rule suggests that the act of filing a motion to amend
`
`deletes—or even affects—the Board’s prior decision on Institution, grants
`
`Petitioner a do-over on its failures to meet its burden that the Board has already
`
`decided, or reopens any issues already adjudicated. Such a conclusion would
`
`ignore, not only the statutory assignment of the burden to Petitioner, and
`
`Petitioner’s prior failure to comply with the rules, but also the Board’s existing
`
`decisions in the case. It would render the preliminary proceeding in the IPR a
`
`nullity. What is more, it would create a perverse disincentive for patent owners to
`
`eschew their right to seek to amend their patent—or perhaps even create a perverse
`
`incentive for them to inject new issues in their amendments and avoid old ones.
`
`The proposed amendment clearly distinguishes the substitute claim from
`
`every ground of invalidity. New grounds of unpatentability could not be raised
`
` 4
`
`

`

`
`
`against this subject matter without also, in effect, being raised against non-
`
`instituted claims.3 For this reason, the Motion cannot be denied on any basis that
`
`would substantively contradict the Board’s rulings in the Institution Decision and
`
`the limits that it set on the scope of trial in this case. Doing so would effectively
`
`adopt an untimely new challenge to the patentability of non-instituted Claim 4.4
`
`Nor do policy considerations (Opposition at 1-2) support Petitioner’s theory.
`
`IPRs can never examine claims but only adjudicate them—and IPRs confine all
`
`new claims to be within the scope of existing, uncanceled claims of the patent. 35
`
`U.S.C. §§ 316(d)(3), 318(c); 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.121(a)(2), (b). There is therefore not
`
`even a theoretical danger of granting Patent Owner any additional, undeserved
`
`scope of patent protection in this case. Petitioner’s own failure, in three tries, to
`
`mount a challenge to this patented subject matter before the Board does not prevent
`
`any other person, not in privity or otherwise barred, from challenging the new or
`
`old claims in the future. Nor is Petitioner barred from continuing to do so in court.
`
`Unsurprisingly, Petitioner cites no Board decision supporting its startling
`
`
`3 That would also contradict the AIA’s structure, which contemplates using
`
`motions to amend as tools to eliminate disputes in IPR. See 35 U.S.C. § 316(d)(2).
`
`4 Thus, the Motion may be denied only on bases (e.g., procedure or burden
`
`issues) that do not conflict with the Board’s reason for partially denying institution.
`
` 5
`
`

`

`
`
`insistence that the Motion allows it to circumvent the shortcomings of its Petitions.
`
`Yet Petitioner ignores the only decision on point: Amerigen, in Case No. IPR2015-
`
`02009. In that decision, the Board has already rejected Petitioner’s premise.
`
`In Amerigen, as in this case, the Board denied institution on some, but not
`
`all, challenged claims. Id., Paper 8 [Ex. 2006] at 1. The patent owner, as in this
`
`case, filed no response, but only filed a motion to amend, seeking to cancel all
`
`instituted claims and add a substitute claim that confined its limitations only to
`
`those of unchallenged or non-instituted claims. Id., Paper 14 [Ex. 2007] at 1.
`
`In opposition, the Amerigen petitioner, like Petitioner here, argued that
`
`because the patent owner had moved to add a substitute claim, the patent owner
`
`now had to prove patentability of the substitute claim over all known prior art,
`
`irrespective of the art and arguments raised in the petition, and irrespective of
`
`whether the claim was limited to subject matter on which institution had already
`
`been denied. Id., Paper 17 [Ex. 2008] at 3-5. And, like Petitioner here, the
`
`Amerigen petitioner (i) raised a multiplicity of other references and unpatentability
`
`arguments that had been allegedly raised against the non-instituted claims in other
`
`cases but not in the petition, and (ii) raised numerous policy arguments against
`
`adding the substitute claim to the patent without sufficient scrutiny. Id. at 5-8.
`
`The Board rejected the petitioner’s contentions, cancelled the hearing, and
`
`granted the motion to amend. Id., Paper 38 [Ex. 2011] at 7; see also id., Paper 27
`
` 6
`
`

`

`
`
`[Ex. 2010] at 3-4; id., Paper 36 at 1. The Board declined the petitioner’s invitation
`
`to reconsider whether its initial institution decision was correct based on the new
`
`merits arguments raised in the opposition to the motion to amend, and its invitation
`
`to consider whether or not the patent owner candidly addressed the new references.
`
`Instead, the Board “agree[d] with Patent Owner that ‘there is no requirement for
`
`[the patent owner] to prove, after the Institution Decision, that original non-
`
`amended claims are patentable over all potential prior art, especially non-instituted
`
`claims.’” Ex. 2011 at 6 (alteration marks omitted). The Board noted that the
`
`substitute claim’s limitations were not “‘newly drafted’” like the claims in Idle
`
`Free Systems v. Berstrom, Inc., IPR2012-00027, Paper 26 (PTAB June 11, 2013),
`
`but, instead, included only limitations of non-instituted or non-challenged claims,
`
`Ex. 2011 at 4-5. Accordingly, the Board found that the patent owner’s filing of a
`
`motion to amend did not impose a “burden of showing the substitute claim’s
`
`patentable distinction over not only the prior art asserted in the petition, but also all
`
`prior art of record in the initial patent prosecution, reissue proceeding, prior
`
`litigations and other prior art known to patent owner.” Ex. 2011 at 6.
`
`The Board’s decision in Amerigen was correct. And the same result is
`
`correct here. Here, as in Amerigen, the Motion to Amend does not raise any new
`
`“newly drafted” claim limitations, or any patentability issues except those already
`
`resolved as to non-instituted claims. It merely adds a limitation already considered
`
` 7
`
`

`

`
`
`and analyzed by the Board. Here, as in Amerigen, Petitioner’s demand that Patent
`
`Owner show substitute Claim 9’s patentability over not only the prior art in the
`
`Petition, Opposition at 3, but all prior art known or of record in other proceedings,
`
`id. at 6, is inapposite. As in Amerigen, the Motion to Amend should be granted.
`
`Amerigen’s facts are, unsurprisingly, not absolutely identical to this case.
`
`The substitute claim in Amerigen was the same as an instituted claim except that it
`
`deleted from its multiple dependencies the dependencies on instituted claims, Ex.
`
`2006 at 2, whereas by comparison substitute Claim 9 in this case is the same as an
`
`instituted claim except that it adds a limitation found in a non-instituted claim. It is
`
`a distinction without a difference. The fact that the new claim in Amerigen was
`
`multiply dependent does not distinguish it in any way from the claim here. As the
`
`Board pointed out in Amerigen, a “‘multiple dependent claim is considered in the
`
`same manner as a plurality of single dependent claims.” Ex. 2011 at 4 (emphasis
`
`added) (quoting MPEP 608.01(n)). No rule distinguishes multiple dependent
`
`claims from other claims for this purpose. And the Board’s ultimate reasoning in
`
`granting the motion to amend in Amerigen rested, not on the fact that the canceled
`
`and substitute claims happened to be multiply dependent, but on the determination
`
`that the patent owner’s motion to amend triggered no requirement for the patent
`
`owner to revisit the patentability of the subject matter of non-amended claims,
`
`“especially non-instituted claims.” Id. at 6. The same principle governs here.
`
` 8
`
`

`

`
`
`III.
`
`PETITIONER’S NEW ARGUMENTS ARE UNTIMELY AND WRONG.
`
`Petitioner submits new arguments and exhibits with its Opposition. But
`
`these arguments are procedurally improper, grossly untimely, and unpersuasive.
`
`Claim 4 recites “the printed circuit board according to Claim 1, wherein:
`
`said printed circuit board has a height of 1 to 1.2 inches perpendicular to said
`
`contact strip.” Ex. 1001 [’414 Pat.] Cl. 4. Petitioner’s Petitions already challenged
`
`the height limitation of Claim 4. Both Petitions failed to show unpatentability of
`
`this limitation. Petitioner now attempts to use its Opposition as an untimely
`
`backdoor attempt to again re-litigate that limitation. Because both Patent Owner
`
`and the Board have already refuted Petitioner’s references and arguments in the
`
`Patent Owner Preliminary Responses and Institution Decisions in the two IPRs,
`
`Patent Owner cannot be required to re-litigate these issues with Petitioner again.
`
`For example, Simpson is the primary reference that Petitioner relied upon in
`
`both Petitions. The Board already ruled three times that Petitioner has failed to
`
`show unpatentability based on Simpson in combination with any other reference.
`
`In its Opposition, Petitioner relies again primarily on Simpson. Opposition 4-17.
`
`These new arguments and evidence are no more timely here, with the Opposition,
`
`than they would have been with Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing, Papers 11, 16.
`
`Nor is Petitioner’s “new” expert testimony (Exs. 1016, 1022) timely. It
`
`purports to addresses patentability issues applicable to non-instituted Claim 4, so it
`
` 9
`
`

`

`
`
`can hardly be timely now. It is not responsive to any new evidence, for none was
`
`submitted with the Motion. And much of it (Ex. 2016) is the same testimony
`
`Petitioner already filed in -00974, in which the Board already denied institution.
`
`The IPR statute and rules simply do not allow this “try, try again” gamesmanship.
`
`But even if Petitioner’s premise that the Motion re-opened the doors the
`
`Institution Decision closed were correct, and even if its “new” evidence and
`
`arguments were timely, there are still further reasons—in addition to those that
`
`Patent Owner already argued in two POPRs and the Board already found in two
`
`institution denials—why Petitioner’s references fail to disclose the Claims. For
`
`example, Claim 1, from which substitute Claim 9 depends, requires the “housing of
`
`each one of said semiconductor memories . . . being individually connected to said
`
`printed circuit board.” Ex. 1001 at Cl. 1. Simpson’s alleged memory chips are
`
`connected to sockets, that are in turn connected to its printed circuit board. E.g.,
`
`Pet. at 20; Ex. 1002 [Simpson] at Fig. 1, 13:18-28. Petitioner’s expert admitted in
`
`cross-examination that, where a memory chip is not directly connected to a printed
`
`circuit board but is instead connected through an intermediary with receptacles, the
`
`housing of the chip “is not individually connected to the printed circuit board” as
`
`that phrase is used in the Patent. Ex. 2012 at, e.g., 234:6-237:22. In connection
`
`with the drawing reproduced below (Ex. 2013, marked as deposition Exhibit 1), on
`
`which the upper housing is a memory chip, connected to receptacles on the lower
`
` 10
`
`

`

`
`
`housing, which is a
`
`second memory chip
`
`and, in turn, is connected
`
`to the printed circuit
`
`board, Dr. Subramanian
`
`testified that the housing of the upper memory chip pictured is not “individually
`
`connected to the printed circuit board,” as that phrase is used in the Patent. Id.
`
`The drawing, however, is no different in this respect from Simpson, whose “chip”
`
`is connected to the PCB through a socket with receptacles. Ex. 1002 at 13:18-28.
`
`Nor was there motivation to utilize or modify Simpson’s socketed invention
`
`as claimed. Unlike the Patent (Ex. 1001 [’414 Pat.] at, e.g., Fig. 1; 2:37-42; 2:51-
`
`53; 4:7-8), Simpson teaches no reason or benefit for the claimed layout of sockets
`
`on the PCB. Further, Simpson is from an ancient epoch of computer DRAM
`
`relative to the Patent’s priority date, and the intervening time rendered Simpson’s
`
`problem, solution and rationale obsolete. Simpson’s raison d’être was that, at the
`
`time, “a 16Mb module may cost as much as a whole computer,” Ex. 1002 at 11:28-
`
`31, so Simpson disclosed an upgradable memory module with sockets that could
`
`be filled in later to eliminate the need to replace the module. Id. at 11:25-28; 11:3-
`
`6; 8:22-24; 11:8-10. These needs were not present by the time of the 2001 Patent.
`
`Nor does Bechtolsheim—also already rejected by this Board in the -00974
`
` 11
`
`

`

`
`
`IPR—help Petitioner. Bechtolsheim is not concerned with orientation of DRAM
`
`memory chips on a DRAM PCB; instead, like the prior art the Patent improved, it
`
`places all chips in the same direction without comment. Ex. 1004 [Bechtolsheim]
`
`at 3:32-39; Figs. 1a, 2a. Nor does Bechtolsheim even discuss trying to reduce
`
`height. On the contrary, where the Patent’s preferred embodiments teach one
`
`horizontal row of chips, Bechtolsheim teaches three, which is necessarily taller.
`
`Id. Figs. 1a, 1b; 4:61-5:6. Bechtolsheim does not even hint that one memory chip
`
`(the error correction chip) be vertical and the rest horizontal, as claimed.
`
`The Opposition suggests that, because Bechtolsheim shows a vertical driver
`
`chip 15 (not a memory chip), artisans would put an error correction memory chip
`
`in its place, move driver 15 under one of the horizontally oriented memory devices,
`
`or simply add a vertically oriented error correction chip—but offers no reason why,
`
`and ignores the Patent’s disclosure showing why that is not a simple design choice,
`
`in combination with Simpson or not. Compare Opposition at 20-22 with POPR 12.
`
`The Opposition, at 7-8, 15, also raises Kiehl (Exs. 1020, 1021), and attacks
`
`Patent Owner for lack of candor in not disclosing and “showing patentability over
`
`it.” But Petitioner fails to notice that Kiehl is not prior art to the Patent. Ex. 1001.
`
`The Motion was not required to raise further patentability arguments such as
`
`these, and this Reply is not the time or place to fully develop them. Petitioner’s
`
`arguments are untimely. As a matter of law and discretion, they should be rejected.
