`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Petitioners’ invalidity theories continue to suffer three basic deficiencies.
`
`First, Grounds 2-51 fail because no prior art reference discloses “displaying a tag
`
`type indicator . . . indicative of a tag source.” Second, Grounds 2-7 fail because no
`
`prior art reference discloses multiple “tag sources” under BlackBerry’s correct
`
`construction of that term. Petitioners only apply their own, incorrect construction
`
`of “tag sources,” which effectively renders the term “tag sources” meaningless.
`
`Third, Grounds 2-5 rely on impermissible hindsight and lack any valid motivation
`
`to combine the prior art references.
`
`The Board should, therefore, affirm the validity of the Challenged Claims.
`
`II. RESPONSE TO ARGUMENTS
`
`A. Grounds 2-5: No Prior Art Reference Discloses “Displaying a Tag
`Type Indicator . . . Indicative of a Tag Source”
`
`The Board concluded in its institution decision that Zuckerberg’s horizontal
`
`line is not “indicative of a tag source” since it “does not convey any information
`
`about the lists it separates beyond the fact that they are separate.” Institution
`
`Decision at 23-24. Petitioners do not contest this conclusion in their Reply. Ex.
`
`
`1 This sur-reply only references grounds 2-5 or 2-7 because “Petitioner is no
`
`longer pursuing Ground 1.” See Reply at 11 n.3. The first two deficiencies
`
`outlined herein, however, also apply with equal force to Ground 1.
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`1023 (Chatterjee Reply Decl.) ¶ 31 (“I understand Petitioner is no longer arguing
`
`in this proceeding that the dividing line of Zuckerberg alone qualifies as a ‘tag type
`
`indicator’ . . . .”). Thus, for the reasons set forth in Section VII.A.1.a of
`
`BlackBerry’s Patent Owner Response, Zuckerberg does not disclose “a tag type
`
`indicator . . . indicative of a tag source,” as claimed. This is no longer disputed.
`
`Petitioners cannot rely on Rothmuller or Plotkin to cure this deficiency in
`
`Zuckerberg. Petitioners acknowledge “Grounds 2-5 . . . did not rely on Rothmuller
`
`or Plotkin for the claimed ‘tag sources’” and contend it is “irrelevant to Grounds 2-
`
`5” whether “Rothmuller or Plotkin disclose distinct ‘tag sources.’” Id. But if
`
`Rothmuller and Plotkin’s categories are not “tag sources,” then Rothmuller and
`
`Plotkin’s category icons cannot be “indicative of a tag source.” Accordingly,
`
`Rothmuller and Plotkin also fail to disclose “a tag type indicator . . . indicative of
`
`a tag source,” as claimed.
`
`Petitioners are thus left with no allegation in Grounds 2-5 that any prior art
`
`reference discloses “a tag type indicator . . . indicative of a tag source,” as
`
`claimed. Petitioners do not contest the Board’s finding this limitation is missing
`
`from Zuckerberg, and they never argued for Grounds 2-5 that this limitation was
`
`disclosed by Rothmuller or Plotkin. Moreover, the claimed “tag type indicator . . .
`
`indicative of a tag source” is not a minor claim limitation that can be addressed via
`
`reliance on common sense, but goes to the very core of the innovation claimed by
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`the ’173 Patent. Petitioners cannot prevail on obviousness without identifying this
`
`claim limitation in some prior art reference. See K/S Himpp v. Hear-Wear Techs.,
`
`LLC, 751 F.3d 1362, 1365 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (explaining that “obviousness”
`
`“require[s] record evidence to support an assertion that [the claimed] structural
`
`features . . . were known prior art elements”). For example, even if one of ordinary
`
`skill were to insert Rothmuller or Plotkin’s category icons into Zuckerberg’s user
`
`interface, the combination would still fail to render obvious the Challenged
`
`Claims—the icons would continue to indicate the tag categories and not any “tag
`
`source.”
`
`Accordingly, even if the Board were to accept all of Petitioners’ remaining
`
`contentions, Petitioners are left without a viable argument that the Challenged
`
`Claims are invalid over the prior art disclosure identified for Grounds 2-5.
`
`B. Grounds 2-7: No Prior Art Reference Discloses Multiple “Tag
`Sources”
`
`No prior art reference cited by Petitioners in Grounds 2-7 discloses “a tag
`
`type indicator . . . indicative of a tag source.” Because these references lack
`
`multiple “tag sources,” the user interface elements cited by Petitioners for the
`
`claimed “tag type indicator[s]” cannot be “indicative of a tag source.”
`
`The parties’ dispute boils down to claim construction: should the term “tag
`
`source” be construed as “a separately searchable collection of tags” (BlackBerry’s
`
`proposal) or as “a recognizable collection of tags” (Petitioners’ new proposal on
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`reply). Petitioners’ Reply does not dispute that Zuckerberg (for Grounds 2-5) and
`
`Rothmuller (for Grounds 6-7) lack multiple “tag sources” under BlackBerry’s
`
`proposed construction. Since BlackBerry’s construction is correct, Grounds 2-7
`
`fail.
`
`1.
`
`Background on the Dispute
`
`In Grounds 2-5, Petitioners allege the “displaying a tag type indicator for
`
`each tag appearing in the tag list, said tag type being indicative of a tag source
`
`associated with the tag” limitation is met by a combination of Zuckerberg and
`
`Rothmuller or Plotkin. In particular, Petitioners contend this limitation is met by
`
`indicating if each tag is from Zuckerberg’s “text list” or “friend list.” As explained
`
`in Section VII.A.1.b of BlackBerry’s Patent Owner Response, both of these lists
`
`are part of the same “list of previously used tags” and from the same “tag source.”
`
`Indicating if each tag is from Zuckerberg’s “text list” or its “friend list” is not,
`
`therefore, “indicative of a tag source,” as claimed.
`
`Similarly, in Grounds 6-7, Petitioners allege Rothmuller’s category icons are
`
`“indicative of a tag source,” as claimed. As explained in Section VII.A.2.b.i of
`
`BlackBerry’s Patent Owner Response, Rothmuller also lacks separate “tag
`
`source[s]” and all of its tags corresponding to categories are actually from the same
`
`“tag source.” For that reason, Rothmuller’s category icons are not “indicative of a
`
`tag source,” as required by the claims.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`Petitioners do not dispute the basic premise of BlackBerry’s argument—that
`
`Grounds 2-7 fail if Zuckerberg and Rothmuller lack multiple tag sources—and
`
`instead argue that these prior art references do, in fact, disclose multiple sources.
`
`See Reply at 10-15 (arguing “Zuckerberg Discloses Distinct Tag Sources”); id. at
`
`21-24 (arguing “Rothmuller thus discloses separate ‘tag sources’”). Moreover,
`
`Petitioners’ Reply makes clear that Zuckerberg and Rothmuller stand and fall
`
`together, arguing that Rothmuller’s “drop-down menu . . . is similar to Zuckerberg
`
`in that it can present separated lists each containing tags of a particular type (e.g.,
`
`people, events).” Id. at 23.
`
`Thus, Grounds 2-7 fail if Zuckerberg and Rothmuller do not disclose
`
`multiple ‘tag sources.” And the question of whether Zuckerberg and Rothmuller
`
`disclose multiple “tag source[s]” is an issue of claim construction. Petitioners only
`
`apply their proposed construction for “tag sources.” See Reply at 15 (“This is
`
`more than sufficient to confirm the existence of two recognizable tag collections,
`
`and thus, distinct ‘tag sources.’”); id. at 22 (“These categories properly qualify as
`
`tag sources because the system in Rothmuller can recognize and distinguish the
`
`collections, and identify which tags belong to which categories.”). Petitioners do
`
`not dispute that Zuckerberg and Rothmuller lack multiple “tag source[s]” under
`
`BlackBerry’s construction. See id. at 11 (“To the extent Patent Owner’s arguments
`
`rely on the position that the term “tag sources” requires separate searchability,
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`those arguments fail because its claim construction position is incorrect as
`
`explained above.”). Accordingly, under BlackBerry’s proposed construction of
`
`‘tag source,” Petitioners’ Grounds 2-7 cannot stand.
`
`2.
`
`The Board Should Adopt BlackBerry’s Proposed
`Construction of “Tag Source”
`
`As explained in Section VI.A of BlackBerry’s Patent Owner Response, the
`
`Board should construe the term “tag source” as a “separately searchable collection
`
`of tags.” “[S]eparately searchable” is grounded in the intrinsic record and correctly
`
`focuses on how “tags” are obtained, and not just their subject matter. Petitioners’
`
`proposal—“a recognizable collection of tags”—is a continuation of their effort to
`
`remove any substantive meaning from the claimed “tag source,” allowing
`
`Petitioners to identify multiple “tag source[s]” even where there is just a single
`
`“source.”
`
`In its Reply, Petitioners contend that BlackBerry’s proposed construction is
`
`ambiguous. Reply at 1-3. But in that same section, Petitioners correctly explain
`
`“separately searchable” means each tag source is “capable of being searched
`
`without having to search another tag source.” Reply at 2. The ’173 Patent
`
`specification thus teaches that it is possible to search “one” tag source or multiple
`
`tag sources. ’173 Patent at 5:39-4. This also means that it must be possible to
`
`search just one tag source without searching the others, which leads to the
`
`conclusion that “tag sources” are “separately searchable,” as reflected in
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`BlackBerry’s proposal. See Amazon.com, Inc. v. ZitoVault, LLC, 754 Fed. App’x
`
`965, 970 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (finding that, because the claims require “multiple
`
`‘sessions,’” this “suggest[s] that the system recognizes distinct sessions”).
`
`Petitioners also argue BlackBerry is importing a “separately searchable”
`
`requirement into the claims. Reply at 3-8. This is incorrect. BlackBerry is
`
`applying the plain meaning to the term “tag source.” The fact that the claims recite
`
`“one or more tag sources” means that there must be a difference between a
`
`collection of tags that is from just “one” tag source and a collection of tags that is
`
`from multiple tag sources. The correct focus in this analysis is on how tags are
`
`obtained—that is, whether they are “from” different sources, as recited in the
`
`claims. This is confirmed by the ’173 Patent’s specification, where tags from
`
`different “sources” can, e.g., be obtained from different applications. See ’173
`
`Patent at 3:40-55, 5:39-47, 5:56-61, 6:27-52; see also id. at Fig. 1.
`
`Petitioners’ criticism of the ’173 Patent’s specification is misplaced and
`
`irrelevant. Petitioners contend “[n]othing in the specification describes how any
`
`search of the tag sources is carried out.” Reply at 4-5. Their own expert undercuts
`
`this argument, however, with his admission that the specification discloses “the
`
`ability to search just one tag source” and “the ability to search multiple tag
`
`sources.” Ex. 2012 (Chatterjee Tr.) at 55:13-21. Next, Petitioners argue the
`
`sources in the specification are exemplary (Reply at 5-6), but that renders them no
`
`
`
`7
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`less useful in understanding the plain meaning of “tag sources.” Finally,
`
`Petitioners contend that nothing in the specification precludes data from being
`
`stored in different locations (e.g., locally vs. at a server) (Reply at 6-8), but the
`
`physical location does not control whether two collections of tags are from
`
`different sources. See, e.g., ’173 Patent at 1 (“Internet Browser 138” and “Address
`
`Book 142” are two “tag sources” even though both are local to communication
`
`device 100).
`
`Not only is BlackBerry’s proposed construction correct, but Petitioners have
`
`failed to present any workable alternative. Effectively acknowledging there must
`
`be some manner for distinguishing tags from different sources, Petitioners contend
`
`“[a] construction more consistent with ZitoVault would have been ‘a recognizable
`
`collection of tags,’ which Petitioner[s] believe[] is already implicit in [their]
`
`proposed construction.” Reply. at 9 (emphasis in original).2 Petitioners provide no
`
`
`2 While Petitioners’ proposed construction uses the same word (“recognizable”)
`
`also found in the construction approved in ZitoVault, this similarity is superficial at
`
`best. The claim term “session” in ZitoVault had a temporal aspect that allowed
`
`different “sessions” to be distinguished based on their “recognizable” beginnings
`
`and ends. In contrast, the word “recognizable” does not modify any concrete
`
`characteristic that can be used to distinguish different “tag sources.”
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`objective criteria for what qualifies as “recognizable,” however, allowing
`
`Petitioners to argue any arbitrary collection of tags qualifies as a “tag source.” For
`
`example, Petitioners provide no explanation how their proposed construction
`
`would allow one of ordinary skill to determine how many “tag sources” are present
`
`in Rothmuller. Compare Ex. 2012 (Chatterjee Tr.) at 86:25-88:15 (testifying he
`
`was “not really sure how to answer” the question of “[h]ow many different tag
`
`sources are illustrated in [a] figure” summarizing Rothmuller’s categories and
`
`types) with Ex. 1023 (Chatterjee Reply Decl.) ¶ 51 (maintaining that either
`
`categories or types in Rothmuller can “qualify as tag sources”). Thus, Petitioners’
`
`proposed construction of “a recognizable collection of tags” fails to address the
`
`deficiencies in Petitioners’ original interpretation of this term.
`
`Indeed, Petitioners’ proposed construction of “tag source” renders the claim
`
`limitation “said tag type being indicative of a tag source associated with the tag”
`
`superfluous. Under Petitioners’ interpretation, the mere ability to “display[] a tag
`
`type indicator” for a collection of tags (or otherwise distinguish them) renders that
`
`collection of tags “recognizable” and thus a “tag source.” See, e.g., Reply at 15
`
`(emphasis added):
`
`[I]n the end, the storage and organization of the ‘list of
`
`previously used tags’ simply does not matter. Figure 5 of
`
`Zuckerberg confirms
`
`that
`
`the system can readily
`
`recognize and distinguish tags corresponding to the “text
`
`
`
`9
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`list” from tags corresponding to the “friends list” – and
`
`display each of them within one of two distinct lists as
`
`shown in Figure 5. This is more than sufficient to
`
`confirm the existence of two recognizable tag collections,
`
`and thus, distinct “tag sources.”
`
`Accordingly, if Petitioners’ interpretation were adopted, any “tag type
`
`indicator” would automatically designate “tag source”—the additional claim
`
`requirement that “the tag type” is “indicative of a tag source” would be redundant
`
`and devoid of meaning. Petitioners’ proposed construction for “tag source,”
`
`therefore, cannot be correct. See Merck & Co. v. Teva Pharma. USA, Inc., 395
`
`F.3d 1364, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (“A construction that gives meaning to all the
`
`terms of the claim is preferred over one that does not do so.”); Akzo Nobel
`
`Coatings, Inc. v. Dow Chem. Co., 811 F.3d 1334, 1339-40 (Fed. Cir. 2016)
`
`(rejecting broad construction of “pressurized collection vessel” because it “would
`
`render ‘collection’ entirely superfluous and allow any pressurized vessel to
`
`constitute a ‘pressurized collection vessel”).
`
`Finally, Petitioners’ non-infringement position in district court litigation is
`
`fatal to its claim construction argument here. In district court, Petitioners argued
`
`the “tag type indicator . . . indicative of a tag source” limitation is not met because
`
`“[t]he supposed ‘tag type indicators’ identified by BlackBerry, at best, correspond
`
`to categories of tag suggestions – not their sources.” Ex. 2006 at 13. Petitioners
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`thus argued that “categories of tag suggestions”—which Petitioners do not dispute
`
`would qualify as “recognizable collection[s] of tags”—are distinguishable from tag
`
`“sources.” Petitioners now contend they made this litigation statement in a
`
`different context (Reply at 9-10), but they cannot escape their admission that tag
`
`“categories” and “sources” are different concepts. Petitioners’ district court
`
`argument thus demonstrates the incorrectness of their IPR construction—even
`
`Petitioners themselves disagreed with this construction when arguing non-
`
`infringement.3
`
`Accordingly, BlackBerry’s proposed construction of “tag source” to mean a
`
`“separately searchable collection of tags” should be adopted. And once
`
`BlackBerry’s proposed construction is adopted, there is no dispute Facebook’s
`
`prior art references lack multiple “tag sources” and fail to disclose “a tag type
`
`indicator . . . indicative of a tag source,” as claimed.
`
`
`3 In contrast, BlackBerry’s position is consistent: the term “tag sources” should be
`
`construed according to its plain meaning. In this IPR, it is necessary to construe
`
`that plain meaning to resolve a dispute between the parties. Petitioners have not
`
`identified any equivalent dispute in district court litigation that would need to be
`
`resolved by expressly construing “tag sources.”

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`C. Grounds 2-5: Petitioners Fail to Identify a Motivation to Combine
`the Prior Art References
`
`Petitioners no longer dispute that Zuckerberg alone fails to disclose or render
`
`obvious “displaying a tag type indicator for each tag appearing in the tag list,” as
`
`claimed. See Reply at 11 n.3. Instead, Petitioners rely on Rothmuller or Plotkin to
`
`cure Zuckerberg’s admitted deficiencies. Petitioners fail, however, to identify a
`
`valid motivation for combining Zuckerberg with either Rothmuller or Plotkin.
`
`Petitioners’ Reply has now narrowed the alleged motivation to just two
`
`explanations—“additional flexibility” and an alleged express motivation in
`
`MacLaurin—but even those two remaining alleged motivations are deficient.
`
`1.
`
`Petitioners’ “Additional Flexibility” Argument Rests on
`Impermissible Hindsight Bias
`
`Petitioners contend one of ordinary skill would have been motivated to
`
`modify Zuckerberg based on Rothmuller or Plotkin to “provide[] additional
`
`flexibility in how the tag list of Zuckerberg can be organized for display.” Reply
`
`at 16-18. The benefit of this “additional flexibility,” however, is only taught by the
`
`’173 Patent. See Ex. 1001 (’173 Patent) at 4B. No prior art reference identified by
`
`Petitioners allows tags from different tag sources to be interspersed within a tag
`
`list. In Zuckerberg, tags from different alleged sources are expressly separated by
`
`a line. Ex. 1003 (Zuckerberg) at Fig. 5. MacLaurin is silent regarding how its tags
`
`are organized; indeed, MacLaurin’s figures show only one tag being displayed at a
`
`
`
`12
`
`

`

`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`time. Ex. 1006 (MacLaurin) at Fig. 8. Petitioners do not contend for purposes of
`
`Grounds 2-6 that Rothmuller or Plotkin disclose multiple tag sources (they do not),
`
`and those references thus also cannot disclose interspersing tags from different
`
`sources in a tag list.
`
`Petitioners thus used a benefit only taught in the ’173 Patent as a roadmap to
`
`their obviousness combination. Petitioners’ combinations, therefore, improperly
`
`relies on impermissible hindsight.
`
`2. MacLaurin Does Not Provide Any Express Motivation to
`Combine
`
`Petitioners also contend MacLaurin provides express motivation to combine
`
`Zuckerberg with Rothmuller or Plotkin because MacLaurin allegedly “confirms the
`
`general desirability of providing a separate type indicator for each displayed tag –
`
`in any context.” Reply at 19. This is incorrect. As explained in Section
`
`VII.B.2.b.i of BlackBerry Patent Owner Response, MacLaurin only visually
`
`distinguishes between tags in its recall mode. MacLaurin cannot confirm[] the
`
`general desirability of providing a separate indicator for each display tag” in a user
`
`interface for tagging photos—such as Zuckerberg’s Figure 5—at least because
`
`MacLaurin does not, itself, provide any indicators in its tagging mode. Instead,
`
`MacLaurin made the decision to display all tags in plain text in its tagging mode,
`
`and it thus cannot provide express motivation to one of ordinary skill to depart
`
`from MacLaurin’s own teachings and instead display indicators.
`
`
`
`13
`
`

`

`Accordingly, Petitioners have failed to identify any motivation to justify
`
`departing from Zuckerberg’s own teachings and display “a tag type indicator for
`
`IPR2019-00516
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`each tag appearing in the tag list.”
`
