`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to |35 U.S.C. § 316(d) and |37 C.F.R. § 42.121, Patent Owner
`
`BlackBerry Ltd. (“BlackBerry”) submits this conditional motion (“Motion”) to
`
`substitute proposed claims 21-32 shown in Appendix A (“the Substitute Claims”)
`
`for original claims 1, 2, 4, 6-8, 10, 12-14, 16, and 18 (“the Challenged Claims”) of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173 (“’173 Patent”) should any of the Challenged Claims be
`
`found unpatentable. The Board authorized the filing of this Motion in its
`
`Scheduling Order entered August 5, 2019. See Paper 8. BlackBerry also e-mailed
`
`the Board, apologizing for the late notice and respectfully requesting that the
`
`conference requirement be waived.
`
`The proposed Substitute Claims satisfy the requisite showing for a motion to
`
`amend, as they (1) do not impermissibly “enlarge the scope of the claims;” (2)
`
`present a “reasonable number of substitute claims;” (3) do not “introduce new
`
`subject matter;” and (4) “respond to a ground of unpatentability involved in the
`
`trial.” |See 35 U.S.C. § 316(d); |37 C.F.R. § 42.121. BlackBerry has thus met its
`
`burden of production. |Aqua Products, Inc. v. Matal, 872 F.3d 1290 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2017) (en banc). Accordingly, should the Board find any original Challenged
`
`Claim unpatentable in this proceeding, BlackBerry requests that the Board grant
`
`this Motion to Amend with respect to each corresponding substitute claim
`
`presented herein. BlackBerry also requests that the Board provide preliminary
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00528
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`guidance on this motion to amend. See Paper No. 8 at 4.
`
`II. THE SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS ARE OF NARROWER SCOPE
`
`Sections 316(d)(3) and 41.121(a)(2)(ii) require that an amendment not
`
`“enlarge the scope of the claims of the patent . . . .” Here, the Substitute Claims do
`
`not broaden the scope of the original claims. As shown in Appendix A below, all
`
`Substitute Claims include the same substantive claim limitations found in the
`
`Challenged Claims, and
`
`further
`
`include additional substantive
`
`features.
`
`Consequently, the Substitute Claims narrow the scope of the Challenged Claims.
`
`III. THE NUMBER OF SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS IS REASONABLE
`
`Sections 316(d)(1)(B) and 42.121(a)(3) require that, for each Challenged Claim,
`
`Patent Owner “propose a reasonable number of substitute claims.” There exists a
`
`“presumption…that only one substitute claim would be needed to replace each
`
`challenged claim.” § 42.121(a)(3). Consistent with this presumption, the present
`
`Motion provides only one Substitute Claim for each Challenged Claim.
`
`IV. THE SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS ADD NO NEW SUBJECT MATTER
`
`The Substitute Claims amend the independent claims, and leave the
`
`dependent claims unchanged other than modifying dependency:
`
`1. A method of selecting a photo tag for a tagged photo,
`
`comprising:
`
`displaying a photograph comprising at least one subject
`
`or object;
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00528
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`receiving a user selection of a location in the photograph
`
`corresponding to the at least one subject or object;
`
`displaying a tag list including tags from one or more tag
`
`sources matching a search string, wherein the tags in the
`
`tag list are displayed in a vertical list, and wherein:
`
`a first tag from a first tag source is displayed above
`
`a second tag from a second tag source; and
`
`the second tag from the second tag source is
`
`displayed above a third tag from the first tag
`
`source;
`
`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; and
`
`associating at least one of the tags in the tag list with the
`
`at least one subject or object.
`
`The steps of “displaying a photograph,” “receiving a user selection of a
`
`location in the photograph corresponding to” a “subject or object” in the
`
`photograph, and then “associating” a tag with that “subject of object” are described
`
`in the specification. For example, the ’173 Patent explains a “user may choose to
`
`add a tag at the current location of the crosshair pointer 308 using an enter key or
`
`clicking on the navigation device (e.g. trackball 117).” ’173 Patent at 4:40-43.
`
`The ’173 Patent then further discloses “the user is provided with a simple way to
`
`associate subjects or objects in a photo with a predefined ‘tag’ from one of a
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00528
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`number of selected tag sources.” Id. at 6:9-12.
`
`The specific configuration of the displayed “tag list” recited by the
`
`Substitute Claims is also supported by the disclosure of the ’173 Patent. For
`
`example, Figure 4B (annotated) shows the “tag list” recited in the Substitute
`
`Claims:
`
`
`
`The six tags shown in Figure 4B are displayed in a vertical list. The “Tanya
`
`Freese-Martin,” “Tara Chmiel,” and “Terrill Dent” tags are from “a list of friends
`
`from an online service like Facebook™,” which is an exemplary “first tag source,”
`
`and any of these tags thus provides support for the “first tag” limitation. ’173
`
`Patent at 5:43-44; Chatterjee Tr. at 128:4-9 (agreeing “[t]he tag ‘Terrill Dent’ is . . .
`
`from Facebook”). The “text i typed before” tag is from “a cache of recent free-
`
`form text entries,” which is an exemplary “second tag source,” and this tag thus
`
`provides support for the “second tag” limitation. ’173 Patent at 5:46-47; Chatterjee
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00528
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`Tr. at 128:10-12 (agreeing “[t]he tag ‘text I typed before’ is from a cache of recent
`
`freeform text entries”). The “Thee Bonkeuth” and “Tim Jackson” tags are from
`
`the same “first tag source,” the “list of friends from an online service like
`
`FacebookTM,” as the top three tags, and any one of these tags thus provides support
`
`for the “third tag” limitation. Chatterjee Tr. at 128:13-16 (agreeing “[t]he tag
`
`‘Thee Boundkeuth’ is from a list of friends from an online service like Facebook”).
`
`The chart below includes a non-exhaustive list of citations where support
`
`can be found for each of the Substitute Claims from the original filing of the ’173
`
`Patent’s application (i.e., Ex. 2009, U.S. Appl. No. 13/252,807 (“’807
`
`Application”1)):

`
`21[pre] A method of selecting a photo tag for ’807 App. ¶¶ 16-18, 21-38; Figs.
`
`
`1 The ’807 Application is a continuation of Ex. 2010, U.S. Appl. No. 11/746,285
`
`(“’285 Applications”). The ’807 and ’285 Applications are substantively identical.
`
`See Ex. 2011 (redline comparison of ’807 and ’285 Applications). All citations in
`
`the chart, therefore, apply also to the ’285 Application, and the Substitute Claims
`
`are supported by the disclosure of the ’285 Application for the same reasons they
`
`are supported by the disclosure of the ’807 Application.

`
`
`V. THE PROPOSED SUBSTITUTE CLAIMS RESPOND TO AND
`OVERCOME THE GROUNDS OF RECORD
`
`The proposed Substitute Claims also “respond to a ground of unpatentability
`
`involved in the trial.” |37 C.F.R. § 42.121(a)(2)(i). Substitute independent claims
`
`21, 25, and 29, and all substitute dependent claims depending therefrom, respond
`
`to the grounds of unpatentability set forth in the petitions filed in IPR2019-00516
`
`and IPR2019-00528. Specifically, the amendments included in the Substitute
`
`Claims further differentiate the claims from the cited art:
`
`IPR2019-00516, Grounds 1-5: Substitute Claims 21, 25, and 29 are further
`
`distinguishable from Petitioners’ primary reference in these grounds (Zuckerberg),
`
`because Zuckerberg does not disclose displaying “[a] second tag from [a] second
`
`tag source . . . above a third tag from the first tag source,” as recited in those
`
`claims. Instead, in Zuckerberg, all tags from an alleged first tag source (text list
`
`544) are displayed above all tags from an alleged second tag source (friends list
`
`546). See Zuckerberg at Fig. 5; see also Chatterjee Tr. at 126:21-25 (agreeing
`
`“Zuckerberg does not disclose an embodiment where tags of those two types are
`
`interspersed”). There is no “third tag from the first tag list” (text list 544) that is
`
`displayed below a “second tag from [the] second tag list” (friends list 546).
`
`
`
`13
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00528
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`IPR2019-00516, Grounds 6-7: Substitute Claims 21, 25, and 29 are further
`
`distinguishable from Petitioners’ primary reference in these grounds (Rothmuller),
`
`because Rothmuller discloses tagging complete photographs, not individual
`
`subjects or objects within them, and thus lacks the “receiving a user selection of a
`
`location in the photograph corresponding to the at least one subject or object” and
`
`“associating at least one of the tags in the tag list with the at least one subject or
`
`object” limitations of the Substitute Claims. See, e.g., Rothmuller at 3:36-39
`
`(“[T]ags 350 can be applied to photos by dragging and dropping graphical icons
`
`representing the tags onto one or more photos 1-4 that are displayed in an image
`
`area 100.” (emphasis added)).
`
`IPR2019-00528, Grounds 1-6: Substitute Claims 21, 25, and 29 are further
`
`distinguishable from Petitioners’ primary reference in these grounds (MacLaurin),
`
`because MacLaurin’s tagging mode does not disclose displaying “the tags in the
`
`tag list are displayed in a vertical list, and wherein a first tag from a first tag source
`
`is displayed above a second tag from a second tag source; and the second tag from
`
`the second tag source is displayed above a third tag from the first tag source,” as
`
`recited in those claims. Instead, MacLaurin “display[s] the current ‘best guess’
`
`tag” (singular) and the user must then navigate to other “tag guesses’ using cursor
`
`arrows.” MacLaurin at 8:8-11; see also MacLaurin at Fig. 8. Accordingly, even if
`
`MacLaurin were to disclose a “tag list,” it does not display any “tags . . . in a
`
`
`
`14
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00528
`U.S. Patent No. 8,279,173
`
`vertical list,” nor is there any disclosure of a “tag list” organized in the claimed
`
`manner. See also Chatterjee Tr. at 127:10-18 (testifying he was unable to recall
`
`whether MacLaurin “describe[s] tags from different alleged tag sources being
`
`interspersed in a list”). Furthermore, MacLaurin relates to tagging files or similar
`
`complete data items, not individual subjects or objects within a photograph, and
`
`thus lacks the “receiving a user selection of a location in the photograph
`
`corresponding to the at least one subject or object” and “associating at least one of
`
`the tags in the tag list with the at least one subject or object” limitations of the
`
`Substitute Claims. See, e.g., MacLaurin at 1:60-64 (“[U]sers have begun to ‘mark’
`
`or ‘tag’ the files or data to indicate an association rather than placing them in a
`
`folder. A tag is generally an arbitrary text string associated with an item that is
`
`utilized to recall that item at a later time.” (emphasis added)).
`
`Thus, Substitute Claims 21, 25, and 29, and claims depending therefrom, are
`
`novel/nonobvious over the cited art.
`
`VI. CONCLUSION
`
`It is respectfully submitted that the above conditional Substitute Claims
`
`should be found patentable.

`
`search string, wherein the tags in the tag list are displayed in a vertical list,
`
`and wherein:
`
`a first tag from a first tag source is displayed above a second tag from
`
`a second tag source; and
`
`the second tag from the second tag source is displayed above a third
`
`tag from the first tag source;
`
`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; and
`
`associating at least one of the tags in the tag list with the at least one subject
