`part, on four outer lateral surfaces of the resin package”
`
`• Whether Loh discloses “a resin package comprising a resin part and a
`metal part”
`

`
`‘411 Patent, Claim 1:
`
`1. A light emitting device comprising:
`
`a resin package comprising a resin part and a metal
`part including at least two metal plates, said resin
`package having four outer lateral surfaces and
`having a concave portion having a bottom surface;
`and
`
`a light emitting element mounted on the bottom
`surface of the concave portion and electrically
`connected to the metal part,
`
`wherein at least a portion of an outer lateral surface
`of the resin part and at least a portion of an outer
`lateral surface of the metal part are coplanar at an
`outer lateral surface of the resin package,
`
`wherein both a part of the metal part and a part
`of the resin part are disposed in a region below
`an upper surface of the metal part, on four outer
`lateral surfaces of the resin package, and
`
`wherein a notch is formed in the metal part at each
`of the four outer lateral surfaces of the resin
`package.

`
`
`
`The Term “…disposed in a region below an upper surface of the
`metal part, on four outer lateral surfaces of the resin package”
`Should Be Given Its Plain And Ordinary Meaning
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`• A part of the metal part and a part of the resin part are disposed “in a
`region”
`
`“both a part of the metal part and a part of the resin part are
`disposed in a region below an upper surface of the metal part, on
`four outer lateral surfaces of the resin package”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex.1001 (‘411) Claim 1.
`
`• The claim language itself specifies the
`“region”:
`
`• The “region” is “below an upper
`surface of the metal part”
`
`• The “region” is “on four outer lateral
`surfaces of the resin package”
`
`• The plain meaning of “below” is “at a lower level than”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex.1001 (‘411), Fig. 1.
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶¶20-25, 31-33; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 24 (Pet.

`
`
`
`The Term “…disposed in a region below an upper surface of the
`metal part, on four outer lateral surfaces of the resin package”
`Should Be Given Its Plain And Ordinary Meaning
`
`• The figures for all embodiments disclose resin that is disposed in a “region” that
`is “below” (i.e., at a lower level than) “an upper surface of the metal part”:

`

`
`
`
`The Plain Meaning Of “below” Is “at a lower level than”
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`• The claims and specification repeatedly refer to a surface of the resin
`package or leads as having a “level”
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), 4:63-65, 16:30-33, 17:3-6, 17:44-46, 20:23-26.
`
`• Consistent with the claims and specification, contemporaneous
`dictionary definitions confirm the plain meaning of “below” is “at a lower
`level than”:
`
`“below…prep...at a lower level
`than”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1026 (Webster’s Third New International Dictionary), 202.
`
`“below…preposition…Lower in
`position than, at less elevation than”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1027 (Shorter Oxford English Dictionary), 217.
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex.1001 (‘411), Fig. 1.
`
`Dr. Shanfield:
`
`“[A] POSITA would have understood that when resin is ‘below’ an upper surface, as
`in claim 1, it is at a lower level than the upper surface.”
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶22; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 24 (Pet. Reply), 4-5; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 34 (Pet. RSR), 1-2.

`IPR2018-00386, Ex.1001 (‘411), Fig. 1.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Construction Improperly Excludes The Preferred
`Embodiments From The Scope Of The Claim
`Patent Owner argues: “[T]he proper interpretation...must, at a minimum, require that there is actually resin
`below (i.e., underneath) the upper surface of the metal part at four outer lateral surfaces.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 20 (POR), 11-12.
`• BUT, none of the ’411 patent figures shows resin underneath an upper surface of the
`metal part:

`
`“a claim construction that excludes a preferred embodiment from the scope of the claim is
`rarely, if ever, correct.”
`
`Accent Packaging, Inc. v. Leggett & Platt, Inc., 707 F.3d 1318, 1325 (Fed. Cir. 2013).
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), 6:21-18:5, Figs. 1, 6, 9, 11-13; IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield

`
`
`
`Etched Concavities/Convexities Are Side Surfaces
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Patent Owner argues: “[T]he disclosures of the ’411 Patent relating to etching a lead frame result in
`concavities and convexities in the cross-sectional surface of the notch part, thereby resulting in a singulated
`device that has resin beneath metal at four outer lateral surfaces.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 20 (POR), 20.
`
`• BUT, the claims require resin “disposed in a region below an upper surface of
`the metal part” and the etched concavities/convexities are side surfaces
`
`‘411 Patent:
`
`“Further, not only the upper
`surface of the lead frame 21,
`but also the side surfaces
`corresponding to the notch
`parts 21a adhere to the resin-
`molded body 24, so that the
`adhesion strength between the
`lead frame 21 and resin
`molded body 24 is improved.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), 13:37-41.
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), Fig. 11.
`
`Dr. Shanfield:
`
`“[T]he concavity/convexity…is a side surface, and is a different surface distinct from the
`upper surface.”
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶¶26-29; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 24 (Pet. Reply), 9-11; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 34 (Pet. RSR), 1-2.
`
`12
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶28.
`
`
`
`Etched Concavities/Convexities Are Side Surfaces
`
`• Patent Owner and Dr. Schubert admit that etched concavities/convexities are
`“side surfaces” that are below the upper surface of the metal part:
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Patent Owner:
`
`“etching may result in concavities in the side surfaces of the notches”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 8 (POPR), 7.
`
`Dr. Schubert:
`“In other words, as a result of etching notches in the lead frame, concavities or convexities are
`formed in the regions below the upper surfaces of the exposed leads, which then fill with
`resin during processing. See Ex. 1001, 18:50-53 (“The lead frame is provided with the notch
`parts 21a by etching. Although not illustrated, a concavity and convexity are formed in the
`cross-sectional surface of the notch part 21a.”)…13:37-41 (“[N]ot only the upper surface of
`the lead frame 21, but also the side surfaces corresponding to the notch parts 21a adhere to
`the resin-molded body 24, so that the adhesion strength between the lead frame 21 and resin
`molded body 24 is improved”).”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 2011 (Schubert Decl.) ¶50 (quoting IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), 13:37-41).
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶¶26-29; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 24 (Pet. Reply), 9-11; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 34 (Pet. RSR), 1-2.

`IPR2018-00386, Ex.2011 (Schubert Decl.), ¶51.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Construction Improperly Narrows The Claimed “Region”
`
`Patent Owner argues: “[T]he proper interpretation…must, at a minimum, require that there is actually resin
`below (i.e., underneath) the upper surface of the metal part at four outer lateral surfaces.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 20 (POR),11-12.
`
`• BUT, the patent expressly uses a different term when requiring that a
`claimed “region” be underneath:
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`’411 Patent, Claim 1:
`“in a region below”
`
`’411 Patent, Claim 6:
`“in a region directly under”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), cl. 1.
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), cl. 6.

`
`14
`
`
`
`The Prosecution History Supports Petitioner’s Construction
`
`Patent Owner argues: “With respect to the cited Sorg reference, … the Examiner equated the disputed
`claim term to resin under metal, consistent with Patent Owner’s position.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 20 (POR), 26.
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`• BUT, Sorg discloses chip encapsulation 6 and carrier 9 (i.e., resin part) (in
`green) located entirely above the upper surface of connection conductors 2
`and 3 (i.e., metal part) (in blue):
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1024 (Sorg), Fig. 1, ¶¶7-8, 41, 48.
`
`• Thus, the Examiner found that Sorg “does not disclose or suggest the limitation
`‘wherein both a part of the metal part and a part of the resin part are disposed
`in a region below an upper surface of the metal part on four outer lateral
`surfaces of the resin package’”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1002 (’411 File History), 243.
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶37; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 24 (Pet. Reply), 16-17; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 34 (Pet. RSR), 2.
`
`15
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Extrinsic Evidence Is Irrelevant
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Patent Owner argues: “By way of analogy, one would not say that their next-door neighbor’s basement is
`‘disposed in a region below’ their own house.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 20 (POR), 12-14; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 35 (PO RRSR), 1.
`• BUT, Patent Owner’s analogies and hypothetical illustrations are irrelevant extrinsic evidence
`
`• There is no requirement that the metal and resin parts in “a region below an upper surface of
`metal part” be stacked vertically, or that the region be bounded by a portion of the metal plate
`
`• The actual patent figures show that the preferred embodiments are consistent with
`Petitioner’s construction
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex.1001 (‘411), Fig. 1.
`
`“[T]he examiner erred by resorting to extrinsic evidence that was inconsistent with the more
`reliable intrinsic evidence.”
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1017 (Shanfield Decl.) ¶35; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 24 (Pet. Reply), 15; IPR2018-00386, Pap. 34 (Pet. RSR), 2.

`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 20 (POR), 13.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Figures With Differences In Level Are Irrelevant,
`and Regardless Are Consistent With Petitioner’s Construction
`
`Patent Owner argues: Petitioner’s construction “fails to account for” embodiments having “differences in
`level.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 28 (PO Sur-Reply), 1-2.
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`• BUT, neither the patent figures nor Loh show differences in level “on an upper surface,”
`so the issue is irrelevant
`
`• PO’s hypothetical illustrations are extrinsic attorney argument that do not make sense
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 28 (PO Sur-Reply), 2.
`
`• Regardless, to the extent PO argues there are multiple upper surfaces, the claim only
`requires that resin be disposed in a region below (i.e., at a lower level than) “an” upper
`surface of the metal part
`
`• Petitioner’s construction is consistent with Patent Owner’s hypotheticals having
`differences in level
`
`E.g., IPR2018-00386, Pap. 34 (Pet. RSR), 2.
`
`17
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Argument Regarding The “Notch” Limitation Is
`Incorrect And Irrelevant
`
`Patent Owner argues: “Petitioner’s construction renders the disputed term superfluous” because the notch
`limitation of claim 1 requires a “notch” that is “resin-filled.”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Pap. 28 (PO Sur-Reply), 4-5.
`
`• BUT, the limitation requiring a “notch” in the metal part does not refer to resin:
`
`DEMONSTRATIVE EXHIBIT – NOT EVIDENCE
`
`Claim 1:
`1. A light emitting device comprising:
`
`… w
`
`herein both a part of the metal part and a part of
`the resin part are disposed in a region below an
`upper surface of the metal part, on four outer lateral
`surfaces of the resin package, and
`
`wherein a notch is formed in the metal part at
`each of the four outer lateral surfaces of the
`resin package.
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1001 (’411), cl. 1.
`
`• Patent Owner’s construction of “notch” in the litigation:
`
`Patent Owner: “[T]he most appropriate construction of the phrase ‘a notch is formed in the
`metal part’ is that ‘there is an opening or indentation in the metal part.’”
`
`IPR2018-00386, Ex. 1012 (Plaintiff Nichia Corporation’s P.R. 4-5(a) Opening Claim Construction Brief), 16;
