`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests rehearing of the September
`
`16, 2019 Decision (“Decision”) denying institution of Inter Partes Review of
`
`claims 1-3, 5-6, and 9–11 (the “Challenged Claims”) of U.S. Patent No. 7,587,207
`
`(the “’207 Patent”) under 37 CFR § 42.71(d). In the Decision, Judges Smith and
`
`Medley (“the Majority”) held that the Petition had not established a reasonable
`
`likelihood that the Petitioner would prevail with respect to at least one of the
`
`Challenged Claims. Paper 7, p 1. Judge Horvath issued a dissent (“the Dissent”).
`
`Paper 7, p 1. As explained below, the Majority’s decision misapprehends and/or
`
`overlooks critical technical teachings of the prior art and arguments advanced in
`
`the Petition.
`
`For example, the Majority’s decision misapprehends and/or overlooks
`
`critical features of Bluetooth technology and the Bluetooth capabilities of a
`
`receiverless beacon. Specifically, the Majority explained:
`
`We also agree with Patent Owner that the Petition does
`
`not explain why a transmitter that uses existing
`
`Bluetooth technology and cannot receive an inquiry
`
`response message (a) would send inquiry messages, and
`
`(b) would add an additional data field to the inquiry
`
`message, rather than use an existing alternative that
`
`1
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`does not require modifying the standard Bluetooth
`
`inquiry message. Paper 7, p 11.1
`
`The problem with this statement, as explained by Dr. Knutson, is that it
`
`assumes the existence of a Bluetooth alternative that does not exist. See Ex. 1003,
`
`¶¶[51]-[52] (citing Ex. 1007, pp 108-10). Indeed, although Patent Owner argues
`
`existence in Bluetooth of “any of a number of other alternatives,” Patent Owner
`
`fails to demonstrate this with evidence – not even uncorroborated expert testimony,
`
`and Patent Owner fails to even allege what alternative might be used. Paper 6, p
`
`13. The only evidence on record (Dr. Knutson’s testimony and the teachings of
`
`BT Core) confirms that “[t]he only way the beacon can provide information to
`
`another device using Bluetooth is through a pre-connection inquiry message.” Ex.
`
`1003, ¶¶[51]-[52], [79] (citing Ex. 1007, pp 108-10). With the full weight of
`
`uncontroverted evidence supporting the Petition’s obviousness analysis, trial
`
`should be instituted to allow proper vetting and full consideration of Patent
`
`Owner’s unsupported argument that other alternatives exist. That type of vetting is
`
`precisely the reason trials are instituted and decisions at institution are preliminary.
`
`Accordingly, and for the reasons explained in more detail below, the
`
`Majority’s decision misapprehends and/or overlooks critical features of Bluetooth.
`
`
`
` 1
`
` All emphasis added, unless otherwise noted.
`
`2
`
`

`

`Thus, Petitioner respectfully requests reconsideration of the decision and
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`institution of Inter Partes Review.
`
`II. ARGUMENT
`
`A. The Majority’s Decision Misapprehends and/or Overlooks the
`Bluetooth Capabilities of a Receiverless Beacon
`
`Several facts are undisputed:
`
` McCall discloses a receiverless beacon that “transmits its identifying
`
`signal continuously, or at intervals” (Ex. 1005, 4:10-16, 4:26-32; Paper 2,
`
`p 10; Ex. 1003, ¶[42]);
`
` McCall discloses multiple assets passively listening for the transmitted
`
`signal (Id.);
`
` McCall discloses using Bluetooth technology (Ex. 1005, 2:47-52 and 5:9-
`
`23; Paper 2, p 10); and
`
` McCall discloses the Bluetooth inquiry protocol, which involves
`
`transmission of a broadcasted inquiry message received by any nearby
`
`device (Id.; Ex. 1007, pp 108-10).
`
`With this background, the dispute centers on whether McCall’s receiverless
`
`beacon (1) transmits using Bluetooth’s inquiry protocol or (2) transmits using
`
`another, alternative Bluetooth protocol. The Majority’s decision presupposes the
`
`latter, but misapprehends and/or overlooks critical Bluetooth technology that
`
`3
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`renders the latter impossible – alternative Bluetooth protocols are unavailable to
`
`McCall’s receiverless beacon because, as explained in detail below, the
`
`receiverless beacon cannot complete a Bluetooth connection with another device.
`
`The Petition and Dr. Knutson explain that “the inquiry message is an initial
`
`message used in the Bluetooth protocol to establish a connection between two
`
`devices” and information received in an inquiry response “is needed to establish a
`
`Bluetooth connection with another device.” Paper 2, pp 15, 29-30; Ex. 1003,
`
`¶¶[51]-[52], [79]. Because McCall’s receiverless beacon cannot receive this
`
`information, “McCall’s beacon cannot establish a Bluetooth connection with
`
`another device” and, thus, cannot avail itself to alternative Bluetooth protocols
`
`available upon connection. Id. Rather, as the Petition explained, because
`
`McCall’s receiverless beacon is left without the information “needed to establish a
`
`Bluetooth connection with another device,” Bluetooth’s pre-connection inquiry
`
`protocol is the only Bluetooth protocol available for McCall’s receiverless beacon
`
`to transmit Bluetooth messages to other devices. Id. Given these fundamental
`
`properties of Bluetooth, which have not been disputed by competing expert
`
`testimony or other evidence, Dr. Knutson concluded that a POSITA would have
`
`found it obvious that McCall’s receiverless beacon transmits information using
`
`Bluetooth’s inquiry protocol. Ex. 1003, ¶¶[48]-[52].
`
`Dr. Knutson’s analysis is supported by a POSITA’s knowledge of Bluetooth
`
`4
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`and portions of the BT Core specification cited in Dr. Knutson’s declaration. See
`
`Ex. 1003, ¶¶[51]-[56] (citing Ex. 1007, pp 108-10). As explained in BT Core,
`
`“[i]n the Bluetooth system, an inquiry procedure is defined which is used in
`
`applications where the destination’s device address is unknown to the source.”
`
`Ex 1007, p 108. Specifically, “[d]uring an inquiry substate, the discovering unit
`
`collects the Bluetooth device addresses and clocks of all units that respond to the
`
`inquiry message” and then uses the received Bluetooth device addresses and clocks
`
`to “make a connection to any one of them by means of the previously described
`
`page procedure.” Id. Because McCall’s receiverless beacon cannot receive the
`
`necessary Bluetooth device addresses and clocks, McCall’s receiverless beacon
`
`cannot use Bluetooth’s page procedure and cannot make a connection. Ex. 1003,
`
`¶¶[51]-[52] (citing Ex. 1007, pp 108-10).
`
`But, McCall’s receiverless beacon is not useless in Bluetooth – it can
`
`transmit to other Bluetooth devices using Bluetooth’s inquiry protocol. Ex. 1003,
`
`¶¶[48]-[51]; Ex. 1007, pp 108-10). As McCall describes, the receiverless beacon
`
`“transmits its identifying signal continuously” (Ex. 1005, 4:10-16), just as a
`
`Bluetooth device “continuously transmits the inquiry message … at different hop
`
`frequencies” (Ex 1007, p 108). Nearby Bluetooth devices receive these
`
`transmissions because Bluetooth devices “regularly enter[] the inquiry scan
`
`substate” and look for inquiry messages transmitted at the different hop
`
`5
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`frequencies defined by Bluetooth. Ex 1007, pp 108-09. Thus, as Dr. Knutson
`
`explained with citation and support from the BT Core specification, Bluetooth’s
`
`inquiry protocol provides McCall’s receiverless beacon with a mechanism to
`
`transmit Bluetooth messages to other devices, even though McCall’s receiverless
`
`beacon lacks the receiver needed to establish a connection and communicate using
`
`other Bluetooth protocols and other Bluetooth messages. Ex. 1003, ¶¶[48]-[56]
`
`(citing Ex. 1007, pp 108-10).
`
`The fact that McCall’s receiverless beacon cannot receive an inquiry
`
`response does not negate the relevance of Bluetooth’s inquiry protocol – “inquiry
`
`response is optional” and “a unit is not forced to respond to an inquiry message.”
`
`Ex. 1007, p 108. This portion of the Bluetooth specification clearly indicates that
`
`the inquiry protocol is not used only when an inquiry response is needed,
`
`confirming that McCall’s receiverless beacon is not restricted from using the
`
`inquiry protocol simply because it has no receiver to receive inquiry responses.
`
`Ex. 1007, pp 108-10.
`
`The Majority decision misapprehends and/or overlooks these fundamental
`
`principles of Bluetooth technology and the Bluetooth capabilities of McCall’s
`
`receiverless beacon. The Majority contends that:
`
`The combination teaches, at best, transmitting a beacon
`
`identifier using a Bluetooth transmitter as taught by
`
`6
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`McCall, where the beacon identifier includes the room
`
`number of the beacon as taught by Hancock, in a
`
`message other than an inquiry message. Paper 7, pp 9-
`
`10.
`
`What other message? As explained above, McCall’s receiverless beacon
`
`cannot transmit other Bluetooth messages because it cannot establish a connection
`
`with another Bluetooth device. Ex. 1003, ¶¶[51]-[52] (citing Ex. 1007, pp 108-10).
`
`McCall’s receiverless beacon, however, can transmit inquiry messages because, as
`
`discussed above, Bluetooth devices regularly scan for inquiry messages transmitted
`
`over the different hop frequencies defined by Bluetooth’s inquiry protocol. Id.
`
`Indeed, Bluetooth’s inquiry messages are precisely the types of messages that
`
`McCall discloses as being continuously transmitted to any nearby devices. See Ex.
`
`1005, 3:56-4:16 (“asset 122 transmits a signal inviting any beacons 102-112 within
`
`range to respond;” “the beacon 102-112 transmits its identifying signal
`
`continuously” and “asset[s] 120, 122 passively listen[] for beacons 102-112 that
`
`are transmitting”); 5:19-23 (“This standard specifies an 'inquire' protocol whereby
`
`a device transmits a specific sequence of data packets, and any 'listening' device
`
`responds with its identifier”).
`
`Neither Patent Owner nor the Majority identify another message in
`
`Bluetooth that can be continuously transmitted to any nearby devices by a
`
`7
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`receiverless beacon. In fact, Patent Owner’s contention that “any of a number of
`
`other alternatives” exist, is without any evidentiary support in this record. Paper 6,
`
`p 13; Paper 7, p 11. If Patent Owner is correct, that will be borne out through trial.
`
`But, when the entire weight of the evidence suggests otherwise, trial is needed to
`
`fully evaluate Patent Owner’s unsupported contention.
`
`Additionally, in contending that McCall fails to disclose use of an inquiry
`
`message in its receiverless beacon embodiment, the Majority places emphasis on
`
`McCall’s reference to “the signal.” Paper 7, p 6. However, a full review of
`
`McCall’s disclosure indicates that “the signal” referenced in this context refers to
`
`the “identifying signal” or “unique identifier” transmitted by McCall’s beacons.
`
`See Ex. 1005, 3:56-4:16 (“Beacons 102 and 104 respond with their unique
`
`identifiers that are associated only with those beacons 102, 104;” “In an alternative
`
`embodiment, the beacon 102-112 transmits its identifying signal continuously, or
`
`at intervals”). McCall’s disclosure, thus, confirms that “the signal” includes
`
`beacon ID data. A POSITA would not have interpreted reference to “the signal” to
`
`mean that the identical message is used regardless of whether a beacon responds
`
`with a signal or continuously initiates transmission of a signal. Indeed, as is
`
`customary, Bluetooth defines different message formats for reply messages and
`
`initiated messages. Ex. 1007, pp 110-112.
`
`Further, the Majority places emphasis on McCall’s disclosure of “using
`
`8
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`existing Bluetooth technology” and contends that McCall does not “implicate[]
`
`modifying the structure of the standard inquiry message to accommodate location
`
`information of the beacon.” Paper 7, p 8. Although McCall discloses using
`
`Bluetooth, McCall also discloses using a receiverless beacon to transmit beacon
`
`identification information. These points are undisputed. However, these two
`
`points, when combined as in McCall, would inspire a POSITA to modify the
`
`structure of an inquiry message because a receiverless beacon cannot otherwise
`
`transmit beacon identification information using existing Bluetooth technology.
`
`Ex. 1003, ¶¶[51]-[52]. In fact, this modification is the only way McCall’s
`
`receiverless beacon transmission can be implemented using McCall’s preferred
`
`implementation method—the Bluetooth protocol. Ex. 1005, 5:5-8, 2:48-52. As
`
`explained above, McCall’s receiverless beacon cannot establish a connection to
`
`nearby Bluetooth devices and can only transmit information to nearby Bluetooth
`
`devices using Bluetooth’s inquiry protocol. Paper 2, pp 14-15. Yet, as recognized
`
`in the Petition and by the Majority, a standard Bluetooth inquiry message does not
`
`include a data field available to transmit beacon identification information. Paper
`
`2, pp 15-17; Paper 7, p 8. For precisely this reason, and as explained by Dr.
`
`Knutson, McCall’s disclosure would have motivated a POSITA to modify the
`
`standard Bluetooth inquiry message to implement McCall’s receiverless beacon in
`
`a Bluetooth environment. Ex. 1003, ¶¶[51]-[56].
`
`9
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`Indeed, the modification of the inquiry message structure is directly
`
`suggested by McCall’s reliance on the Bluetooth protocol to send beacon ID
`
`information and McCall’s disclosure of a receiverless beacon. Paper 2, pp 14, 15.
`
`Without modifying the Bluetooth inquiry message structure, McCall’s receiverless
`
`beacon could not transmit the beacon ID information using any Bluetooth protocol.
`
`Paper 2, pp 14, 15, 29, 30; Ex. 1003, ¶¶[79]-[81]. Petitioner’s arguments are
`
`therefore based on “what the combined teachings of the references would have
`
`suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art” and not hindsight or speculation. In
`
`re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 425 (Fed. Cir. 1981).
`
`As to inquiry message modification, Dr. Knutson explains that “the payload
`
`field is the most likely field to be used to carry data such as the beacon ID
`
`information. This is at least because the header field includes very specific link
`
`control information and is not used to transmit general data, whereas the payload
`
`field can accommodate various types of data. Ex. 1007, pp 51, 62.” Ex. 1003,
`
`¶[55]. “[T]he modified inquiry packet (reproduced below) would likely include a
`
`payload field attached to the end of the access code fields of a typical inquiry
`
`message to accommodate the beacon ID information,” as shown in the figures
`
`below. Ex. 1003, ¶[56].
`
`10
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`Dr. Knutson further explains that:
`
`
`
`a POSITA like myself could readily appreciate the
`
`placement of the payload at the end of a Bluetooth inquiry
`
`message as an obvious and predictable design choice since
`
`such a structure is similar to the standard Bluetooth
`
`protocol packet format (note that the payload field in a
`
`standard Bluetooth packet is also placed at the end of a
`
`data packet). For example, the inquiry message packet
`
`structure would resemble the structure of an inquiry
`
`response message, which includes a payload field
`
`appended to the header and access code fields, as shown
`
`in the standard Bluetooth packet format. Ex. 1007, pp. 56,
`
`110, 112. Ex. 1003, ¶[57].
`
`For these reasons, the Petition explained both how and why the prior art
`
`(McCall, BT Core, and Larsson) suggested modification of Bluetooth inquiry
`
`messages to implement McCall’s receiverless beacon in a Bluetooth environment.
`
`Paper 2, pp 13-17; Paper 7, p 19. Indeed, with a full understanding of Bluetooth
`
`technology, these modifications are apparent and supported by the BT Core and
`
`Larsson references cited in the Petition. Paper 2, pp 13-17, 20-24. Thus, for the
`
`11
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`reasons discussed above, the Majority’s decision misapprehends and/or overlooks
`
`critical features of Bluetooth and Petitioner respectfully requests reconsideration in
`
`view of the explanation above.
`
`B.
`The Dissent’s Assessment of the Combination is Reasonable and
`Should be Evaluated During a Trial
`
`As recognized in the Dissent, although the combination advanced in the
`
`Petition relies on four references, the combination is straightforward and relies on
`
`secondary references to explain how a POSITA would have implemented details of
`
`McCall’s receiverless beacon. Paper 7, pp 15-22. Specifically, as explained in the
`
`Petition, Petitioner asserted that the Challenged Claims were obvious over McCall
`
`(Ex. 1005), BT Core (Ex. 1007), Larsson (Ex. 1014), and Hancock (Ex. 1006).
`
`Paper 2, pp 2, 26-37; Paper 7, 16. To recap, McCall disclosed “a method to track
`
`the location of objects using beacons of a wireless communication network that are
`
`physically dispersed in a building, as shown in FIG. 1. Ex. 1005, 1:1-5, Abstract.”
`
`Paper 2, p 9. McCall’s beacons transmit, to assets, beacon identification numbers
`
`(IDs) that identify the transmitting beacon and enable determination of asset
`
`location. Ex. 1005, 3:58-65, 4:10-16, 4:26-32; Paper 2, p 10. “Communications in
`
`McCall’s wireless communication network are implemented using the Bluetooth
`
`protocol. Ex. 1005, Abstract, 2:47-52, 5:5-15.” Paper 2, p 9; Paper 7, p 16.
`
`12
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`McCall does not provide the specific implementation details of the
`
`Bluetooth protocol used for communications between a beacon and an asset. Paper
`
`2, pp 11, 13; Paper 7, p 17. The Dissent recognized that the Petition then
`
`reasonably, without relying on hindsight and speculation and just as a skilled
`
`artisan would, turns to BT Core, a document published by Bluetooth, “to
`
`understand how McCall’s invention … could be implemented in a Bluetooth
`
`environment.” Paper 2, pp 11, 13, 14; Paper 7, p 17.
`
`BT Core discloses that an inquiry message can be used in Bluetooth
`
`protocols when a transmitting device does not know the addresses of other nearby
`
`devices—the identical scenario to McCall’s receiverless beacon transmitting
`
`signals. Ex. 1007, pp 108-10; Paper 2, pp 11, 12. The Dissent correctly explained
`
`that, “because McCall’s receiverless beacon cannot receive an inquiry response
`
`message, the only way McCall’s receiverless beacon can transmit its beacon ID to
`
`the receiver is via the inquiry message” disclosed by BT Core. Paper 7, p 19;
`
`Paper 2, pp 14-16. “Moreover, because BT Core teaches the standard inquiry
`
`message consists of a preamble and sync word without a header or payload, the
`
`only way McCall’s receiverless beacon can transmit its beacon ID to the unknown
`
`receiver is to modify the standard Bluetooth inquiry message.” Id.
`
`Hancock was relied upon in the Petition to substitute McCall’s beacon IDs
`
`with Hancock’s location information. Paper 2, pp 24-27.
`
`13
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`Larsson corroborates the use of a length indicator or piggyback indicator “as
`
`an indication of an additional data field being added to a message.” Paper 2, pp
`
`18-20; Paper 7, pp 20-21. As explained in the Petition and acknowledged by the
`
`Dissent, in the combination of McCall, BT Core, Hancock, and Larsson, “[t]he
`
`piggyback indicator would alert the receiver ‘to the presence of an additional data
`
`field’ when added to the access code of the modified inquiry message, thereby
`
`preventing the receiver from sending ‘unnecessary inquiry response messages.’”
`
`Paper 2, p 23; Paper 7, p 21.
`
`For these reasons, McCall, BT Core, Larsson, and Hancock render obvious
`
`all features of claims 1-3, 5-6, and 9–11 of the ’207 Patent. The four-reference
`
`combination should not detract from the soundness of the combination and
`
`Petitioner’s reasoning. Paper 2, pp 8, 9; Paper 7, p 21. “The criterion [for
`
`obviousness] is not the number of references, but what they would have meant to a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the field of the invention.” Id. (quoting In re Gorman,
`
`933 F.2d 982, 986 (Fed. Cir. 1991)).
