I. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

ZTE Corporation, ZTE (USA), Inc., and ZTE (TX), Inc., (collectively 

“ZTE”) requests inter partes review of claims 1-14 of U.S. Patent No. 8,147,071 

(Ex-1001). WSOU Investments LLC (“WSOU”) asserts the ’071 patent against 

ZTE in WSOU Investments LLC v. ZTE Corporation et al., 6:20-cv-00492-ADA 

(W.D. Tex.) (“Litigation”). 

The ’071 patent describes a processor configured for providing image data 

“signaling”1

 to a projector based on received movement signaling, but the 

disclosed methods for providing image data signaling to a projector were known in 

the prior art. 

No Claim Limitation

1p A processor for providing image data signaling to a projector, the image 

data signaling representing an image to be projected by the projector, 

the processor comprising

1A an input to receive movement signaling associated with movement of the 

projector; and

1B an output configured to provide image data signaling to the projector, 

1C and wherein the processor is configured to provide image data signaling to 

the projector based on received movement signaling, 

1D wherein the movement signaling provides an indication of one or more 

movement criterion of the projector, 

1

 The ’071 patent recites “signalling” throughout the claims and the specification. 

Petitioner uses the correct spelling, “signaling”, throughout this petition.

1E the movement criterion representing one or more of displacement and 

movement speed of the projector, and 

1F wherein the processor is configured to discriminate a movement criterion 

and to provide associated image data signaling to project associated 

image data. 

’071 Patent, Claim 1 (Annotated). 

Huebner (Ex-1005) (see Annotated Fig. 2 below), and De Haan (Ex-1006) 

(see Annotated Fig. 3 below), disclose projecting image data based on received 

movement signaling like that claimed the ’071 patent. Alone or when combined in 

routine, predictable ways, Huebner and De Haan—none of which were considered 

by the USPTO during prosecution of the ’071 patent—anticipate and/or render 

obvious all features of the challenged claims.

III. OVERVIEW OF PRIOR ART 

The ’071 patent was filed on April 29, 2009 without any priority claims. For 

the reasons explained, each of the references discussed below is prior art. 

A. Huebner 

U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2009/0091710 (Ex-1005, “Huebner”), published on 

April 9, 2009 and filed on October 5, 2007, is prior art under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(b) 

and § 102(e). 

Huebner describes “[a]n interactive image projecting device that projects an 

image onto a display surface and controls the projected image based upon 

movement of the image projecting device.” Huebner, Abstract. The device 

includes “a microprocessor-based control unit that is operatively associated with a 

projector.” Id., ¶[0005]. 

Fig. 2 of Huebner shows an image projecting device 10 with a projector 42, 

control unit 24, and sensors including position sensor 38, and range locator sensor 

51.” Id., ¶¶[0064], [0066], [0075]. When the image projecting device 10 moves, 

the position sensor 38 sends movement signals to the control unit 24 regarding 

movement of the image projecting device 10. Id., ¶[0064]. When the image 

projecting device 10 is a distance from an object such as a wall, control unit 24 can 

read the range locator sensor 51 to determine the distance to the wall. Id., ¶[0142]. 

Projector 42 is in operative communication with control unit 24 and projects an

 5 

image, and control unit 24 modifies the image based on sensed movement signals. 

Id., ¶¶, [0008], [0066]. 

Id., Annotated FIG. 2. 

B. De Haan 

U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2010/0031201 (Ex-1006, “De Haan”), filed on July 31, 

2008, is prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e). 

De Haan describes a device that projects an image. De Haan, Abstract. De 

Haan’s device 105, an internal diagram of which is shown in Fig. 3 below, 

includes controller 315, accelerometer 310, and projector 305. Id., ¶[0050]. 

Controller 315 includes a processor and executes instructions to control 

components of device 105. Id., ¶[0054]. Controller 315 receives movement 

information, including speed and orientation, from accelerometer 310. Id., ¶[0056].

Controller 315 determines compensation information to stabilize the projected 

image so that projector 305 projects an image. Id.

De Haan, Annotated FIG. 3. 

IV. LEVEL OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART 

A person of ordinary skill in the art (“POSA”) at the time of the purported 

invention would have had a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering 

or an equivalent field, with two years of academic or industry experience in 

computer systems or comparable industry experience. Ex-1003, ¶38. With more 

education, for example, postgraduate degrees and/or study, less experience is 

needed to attain an ordinary level of skill in the art. Similarly, more experience can 

substitute for formal education. Ex-1003, ¶38.

V. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION 

Only claim terms “in controversy” need be construed in IPR “and only to the 

extent necessary to resolve the controversy.” Nidec Motor Corp. v. Zhongshan 

Broad Ocean Motor Co., 868 F.3d 1013, 1017 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (citation omitted), 

cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 1695 (2018). No claim terms need to be construed by the 

Board at this time. 

In the District Court, Petitioner and Patent Owner have offered the following 

terms for construction, see Litigation, Dkt. 59, p. 9:

of the ’071 patent, no express construction of these terms is needed to determine 

whether the claims are unpatentable. 

VI. STATEMENT OF PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED 

1. Claims for Which Review Is Requested 

Petitioners respectfully request review under 35 U.S.C. § 311 of claims 1-14 

of the ’071 patent and cancellation of those claims as unpatentable. 

2. Statutory Grounds 

This petition presents the following grounds of unpatentability:

Ground References Basis Challenged Claim(s) 

1 Huebner § 102, § 103 1-5, 7-11, 13, and 14 

2 De Haan § 102, § 103 1-14 

VII. GROUND 1: CLAIMS 1-5, 7-11, 13 AND 14 ARE UNPATENTABLE 

OVER HUEBNER 

Huebner anticipates claims 1-5, 7-11, 13 and 14. Ex-1003, ¶51. 

Huebner discloses each and every element of the claims. But to the extent Patent 

Owner argues sending video data/content to a microprocessor, as recited in 

Huebner, does not disclose the claimed “image data,” it would have been 

obvious. Ex-1003, ¶51. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 16 of 88

A. Claim 1 

Huebner anticipates and/or renders obvious claim 1. Ex-1003, ¶52. 

1. [1p] “A processor for providing image data signaling to a 

projector, the image data signaling representing an image to 

be projected by the projector, the processor comprising:” 

Huebner teaches the preamble because Huebner discloses a control unit with 

a microprocessor (i.e., claimed processor) that communicates video data (including 

the images in the video) to the projector to be projected. Ex-1003, ¶53. 

Huebner discloses the claimed processor because its control unit 24 includes 

a microprocessor. Id., ¶¶[0005], [0060]. A POSA would have understood that a 

microprocessor is a type of processor. Ex-1003, ¶54. 

Huebner also discloses the claimed projector because its “image projecting 

device includes a projector that generates an image from a control unit.” Id., 

Abstract. As shown in Figure 2, Huebner’s image projecting device 10 includes

projector 42 and control unit 24. Id., ¶[0064]. The projector 42 communicates with 

control unit 24 “to project an image from the image projecting device 10.” Id., 

¶[0066]. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 17 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 10 

Id., Annotated FIG. 2. 

Additionally, Huebner discloses the claimed signaling. Huebner discloses “a 

central control unit 24 that controls the operation of the entire device.” Id., ¶[0024]. 

The “projector 42” “is in operative communication with control unit 24.” Id., 

¶[0066]. The control unit sends video data or content to its projector system. Id., ¶¶ 

[0124], [0125], [0144], [0172]. A POSA would have understood these 

communications to be “signals” because that is how device components 

communicate information. Ex-1003, ¶56 (citing IEEE-Wiley Dictionary, 707). 

Thus, a POSA would have understood that Huebner’s control unit conveys 

information via signals to other components, such as an image to a projector. Ex1003, ¶56.

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 18 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 11 

Similarly, Huebner discloses the claimed image data signaling. Huebner

discloses “[t]he image projecting device includes a projector that generates an 

image from a control unit.” Id., Abstract; see id., claims 1, 9, 23. For example, 

Huebner discloses “projector 42 that is in operative communication with control 

unit 24 and is operable to project an image from the image projecting device 10.” 

Id., ¶[0066]. Further, Huebner discloses control units that sends video data or 

content to its projector system. Id., ¶¶ [0124], [0125], [0144], [0172]. A POSA 

would have understood that a video is a series of images. Ex-1003, ¶57 (citing

IEEE-Wiley Dictionary, 837) (defining video as “consisting of, or pertaining to 

images or sequences of images.”). A POSA would have understood that video data, 

content, or images communicated between the processor and the projector of 

Huebner’s device corresponds to the claimed image data signaling because 

Huebner’s control unit sends video and image content and data to the projector that 

the projector projects. Ex-1003, ¶57. 

 To the extent Patent Owner argues that “send[ing] video data” or “video 

content,” as taught by Huebner, does not disclose providing the claimed “image 

data,” a POSA would have found it obvious to send images from control unit 24 to 

projector 42 because the video data/content comprise single image data. Ex-1003, 

¶58. For instance, Huebner describes displaying images throughout. Huebner, 

Abstract, ¶[0066], [0075]. And, Huebner discloses “project[ing] an image created 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 19 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 12 

by the control unit.” Id., claims 1, 9, 23. Thus, a POSA would have used the 

teachings of Huebner to send and/or display image data through the same devices 

and functionality for sending video data. Ex-1003, ¶58. 

2. [1A] “an input to receive movement signaling associated 

with movement of the projector; and” 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that receives movement signals from a position sensor 

and a range locator sensor inside of Huebner’s device. Ex-1003, ¶59. 

Huebner discloses the claimed input. As shown in Fig. 2, Huebner’s image 

projecting device 10 including control unit 24 and sensors including position 

sensor 38 and range locator sensor 51. Id., ¶¶[0064], [0066], [0075]. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 20 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 13 

Id., Annotated FIG. 2. 

Huebner discloses control unit 24 “controls operation of the entire device” and “is 

capable of operating the components” of the device. Id., ¶[0060]. One component 

is the spatial positions sensor 38 “that is operatively connected to the control unit 

24.” Id., ¶[0064]. Another component is “range locator sensor 51 [that] is 

operatively connected to the control unit.” Id., ¶[0075]. Huebner discloses two 

types of movement signaling associated with movement of the projector, as 

claimed. First, When a position sensor 38 (e.g., “a MEMS accelerometer”) 

“provides movement signals to the control unit 24.” Id., ¶[0064] (emphasis added). 

These signals “provide[] information to the control unit regarding movement of the 

entire image projecting device 10 [(which includes a projector)] along x, y, and z 

axes.” Id., ¶[0064]. 

Second, Huebner’s control unit 24 also reads data from a range locator 

sensor 51 to determine a distance between the device and the wall. Id., ¶[0142]. 

The “range locator sensor 51 is operatively connected to the control unit, providing 

a means to determine the distance to the ambient surface on which the projected 

image resides.” Id., ¶[0075]. Control unit 24 computes zoom based on the distance 

to the wall from range locator 51, part of image projecting device 10, and thus the 

information from range locator 51 corresponds to the claimed movement signaling 

associated with movement of the projector. Id., ¶[0142]; Ex-1003, ¶63. A POSA

would have understood the communications from the range locator sensor 51 to 

control unit 24 to be “signaling” because that is how device components 

communicate information. Ex-1003, ¶63 (citing IEEE-Wiley Dictionary, 707). 

 A POSA would have understood that the control unit would include an input 

to receive these signals from position sensor 38 and range locator sensor 51 

because the sensors are external to the control unit (as shown above) and 

communicate through a connection to the control unit. Ex-1003, ¶64; Id., ¶¶[0064],

claimed “input.” Ex-1003, ¶64.

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that sends video data and content to a projector. Ex1003, ¶64. 

Huebner discloses the claimed output. As shown in Fig. 2, Huebner

discloses an image projecting device 10 including control unit 24 and projector 42.

Id., Annotated FIG. 2. 

“The image projecting device includes a projector that generates an image from a 

control unit.” Id., Abstract. And the “central control unit 24 [] controls the 

operation of the entire device.” Id., ¶[0060]. Specifically, projector 42 

“communicat[es] with the control unit 24 to project an image from the image 

projecting device 10.” Id., ¶[0066]. As an example, Huebner discloses its “control 

unit sends video content to the projector causing the virtual door to open, as 

illustrated in FIG. 8d.” Id., ¶[0144] (emphasis added). As a further example, 

Huebner discloses control units sending “video data” or “video content” to its 

projector system. Id., ¶¶ [0124], [0125], [0172]. Because control unit 24 is a 

processor that sends video and image data to projector 42 for projection, a POSA

would have understood that control unit 24 discloses the claimed “output.” Ex1003, ¶67. 

Huebner also discloses the claimed providing image data signaling to the 

projector. Huebner discloses “project[ing] an image created by the control unit.” 

Id., claims 1, 9, 23. A POSA would have understood that the control unit would 

include an output to send images to the projector that is external to the control unit 

(as shown above). Ex-1003, ¶68. A POSA would have understood that the control 

unit sending video data and content to the projector corresponds to the claimed 

“provid[ing] image data signaling to the projector,” as discussed above in Section 

VII.A.1, because Huebner’s control unit sends video and image content and data to 

the projector that the projector projects. Ex-1003, ¶68. 

4. [1C] “and wherein the processor is configured to provide 

image data signaling to the projector based on received 

movement signaling,” 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) modifying the image based on the sensed movement 

signals. Ex-1003, ¶69. As discussed above, Huebner’s control unit 24 sending 

video data or content to projector 42 to display an image discloses the claimed 

image data signaling, Section VII.A.1, and Huebner’s movement signals from 

spatial position sensor 38 and distance information from range locator 51 disclose 

movement signaling, Section VII.A.2.

Huebner’s processor is configured to provide image data signaling to the 

projector based on received movement signaling in two ways. First, for its spatial 

position sensor, Huebner discloses that “[b]ased upon the sensed movement 

signals from the spatial position sensor, the control unit can modify the image from 

the device to simulate the movement of the image projecting device.” Id., ¶[0008] 

(emphasis added). The “control unit 24 reads the output of the spatial position 

sensor 38 and animates the projected image accordingly.” Id., ¶[0080]. As an 

example, Huebner discloses that, “if the control unit determines the device is tilted 

with a quick upward flick of the wrist, the projected image may be revised to cause 

the image to perform a certain action, such as having a dog sit up on its hind legs.” 

Id., ¶[0081]. Second, for the range locator sensor, Huebner discloses “the projected 

image can zoom in and out as a player moves the device towards or away from the 

wall.” Id., ¶[0142]. 

With respect to providing “image data signaling to the projector based on 

movement signaling,” the ’071 patent specification describes that the processor, 

once movement is detected, “provides different image data signaling to the 

projector 2.” Id., 7:21-23; FIGS. 2b, 2c. As another example, the ’071 patent 

describes detecting movement and providing “image data signaling to the projector 

202 that causes the projector 202 to project a magnified version of image ‘A’.” Id., 

8:37-42; FIGS. 3b, 3c.

Huebner’s disclosure of moving and animating an image based on 

movement of device 10 provides more detail than that discussed in the ’071 patent.

Similarly, Huebner’s disclosure of projecting an image and the zoom necessary for 

the image based on movement of device 10 relative to a wall or surface provides 

more detail than that discussed in the ’071 patent. Thus, Huebner’s disclosures 

correspond to the ’071 patent, and Huebner’s moving and animating an image and 

zooming in and out anticipates this claim limitation. Ex-1003, ¶72. 

5. [1D] “wherein the movement signaling provides an 

indication of one or more movement criterion of the 

projector,” 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that receives movement signals from a position sensor 

and a range locator sensor inside of Huebner’s device that measure position and 

range (i.e., claimed movement criterion), respectively. Ex-1003, ¶73. 

Huebner discloses the claimed movement signaling as discussed above in 

Section VII.A.2, because Huebner discloses movement information from position 

sensor 38 and range locator sensor 51 (the claimed “movement signaling”) that is 

read by control unit 24. Huebner also discloses the claimed indication of one or 

move movement criterion of the projector because positions sensor 38 and range 

locator sensor 51 determines movement information that are received by control 

unit 24. Huebner discloses that its position sensor 38 determines movement and 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 26 of 88

orientation information of image projecting device 10. Id., ¶¶[0064], [0066]. 

Huebner also disclose a range locator sensor 51 that determines distance 

information of image projecting device 10 to a surface. Id., ¶¶[0075], [0142]. 

Huebner discloses that control unit 24 reads position sensor 38 and range locator 

sensor 51. Id., ¶¶[0066], [0075]. Further, position sensor 38 “provides movement 

signals to the control unit 24.” Id., ¶[0064] (emphasis added). Huebner’s 

movement and distance information from these sensors anticipates the claimed 

“one or more movement criterion of the projector.” Ex-1003, ¶75.

6. [1E] “the movement criterion representing one or more of 

displacement and movement speed of the projector, and ” 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e. claimed processor) that reads and receives movement signals from a 

position sensor and a range locator, where the position sensor measures relative 

motion (i.e. claimed displacement, movement speed) and the range locator 

measures distance from a wall (i.e. claimed displacement). Ex-1003, ¶76. 

This limitation requires only one of (1) displacement or (2) movement speed 

of the projector. Huebner discloses both. 

Huebner discloses the claimed displacement. Huebner’s position sensor 38, 

an accelerometer, “determine[s] the relative motion of the device in 3D space as 

the player moves the device in an arc, zigzag, or a straight motion.” Id., ¶¶[0064], 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 27 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 20 

[0080] (emphasis added). The accelerometer provides information “regarding 

movement of the entire image projecting device 10 along x, y, and z axes.” Id., 

¶[0064]. For example, “a quick, upward flick of the wrist” results in the image 

performing a certain action. Id., ¶[0080]. A POSA would have understood that 

information regarding movement along x, y, and z axes would include 

displacement, Ex-1003, ¶78, because relative motion in 3D space, such as an arc, 

zigzag, or straight motion, is detected by position sensor 38. Id., ¶[0064]. The 

information from position sensor 38 includes information regarding movement 

along x, y, and z axes which would include, for example, determining where the 

device is at one point along one axis and then later determining where the device is 

along another point along the same axis, which is displacement. Ex-1003, ¶78. 

Thus, a POSA would have understood that the taught “relative motion” and 

information regarding movement along axes discloses the claimed “displacement.” 

Ex-1003, ¶78. 

As further displacement examples, Huebner discloses a range locator sensor 

51 that determines “the distance to the wall” or other surface. Id., ¶¶[0075], [0142]. 

Huebner also discloses an emitter 52 and image sensor 62, also including within 

image projecting device 10, that use the light path to determine the distance to the 

projection surface. Id., ¶¶[0007], [0075]. A POSA would have understood that the 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 28 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 21 

distance to the wall or other projecting surface corresponds to the claimed 

“displacement.” Ex-1003, ¶79. 

Huebner discloses the claimed movement speed. Huebner discloses position 

sensor 38, including a MEMS accelerometer, “provides information to the control 

unit regarding movement of the entire image projecting device 10 along x, y and z 

axes.” Id., ¶[0064]. Further, “the x, y, z axis spatial position sensor 38, the device 

10 can determine the relative motion of the device in 3D space as the player moves 

the device in an arc, zigzag, or a straight motion.” Id., ¶[0080]. Such motion may 

include “a quick, upward flick of the wrist.” Id., ¶[0081]. A POSA would have 

understood that information regarding movement along x, y, and z axes would 

include speed, Ex-1003, ¶80, because relative motion in 3D space, such as a 

“quick” flick of the wrist, is detected by position sensor 38. Id. A POSA would 

have understood that information regarding relative motion would include speed 

because speed is a measure of motion. Ex-1003, ¶80. As such, the taught “relative 

motion” corresponds to the claimed “movement speed.” Ex-1003, ¶80. If Patent 

Owner argues that relative motion does not disclose “movement speed,” a POSA 

would have found it obvious to measure speed from the movement information 

from position sensor 38 because speed is one of a finite number of predictable 

measures of motion. Ex-1003, ¶80.

7. [1F] “wherein the processor is configured to discriminate a 

movement criterion and to provide associated image data 

signaling to project associated image data.” 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that reads and receives movement signals from a 

position sensor and a range locator sensor, and the control unit modifies the 

projected image in response to the movement signals based on the information 

from the sensors. Ex-1003, ¶81. 

Huebner discloses the claimed image data signaling as discussed above in 

Section VII.A.2 because Huebner discloses modifying, moving, and animating 

images based on received movement signals from the position sensor and the range 

locator sensor. 

The ’071 patent discloses that processor 1 “associate[s] particular image data 

with a particular movement criterion represented/indicated by received movement 

signaling.” Id., 5:37-41. Other than the claim language, this is the only disclosure 

of the ’071 patent for the claimed “discriminate a movement criterion.” 

Huebner discloses the claimed “processor configured to discriminate a 

movement criterion.” For the spatial position sensor, Huebner discloses that 

“[b]ased upon the sensed movement signals from the spatial position sensor, the 

control unit can modify the image from the device to simulate the movement of the 

image projecting device.” Id., ¶[0008] (emphasis added). The control unit “reads

 23 

the output of the spatial position sensor 38 and animates the projected image 

accordingly.” Id., ¶[0080]. “For example, if a player sweeps or moves the device 

along the wall in a left horizontal direction, the projected image moves in an 

animated manner to the left.” Id. A POSA would have understood that the control 

unit receives the movement information from the spatial position sensor 38, 

corresponding to the claimed discriminating a movement criterion. Ex-1003, ¶84.

For the range locator sensor, Huebner discloses that the control unit “reads 

the range locator 51, determines the distance to the wall, and computes the 

necessary logical image zoom required to maintain the scale of the projected 

image.” Id., ¶[0142]. For example, “the device updates the projected image every 

1/3 second with the appropriate image zoom relative to the projection distance.” Id.

By reading the range locator and computing (and recomputing) image zoom, 

Huebner discloses providing an image based on a movement because it computes 

the image zoom based on movement relative to distance of the device from the 

wall. Ex-1003, ¶85. A POSA would have understood that the control unit reads the 

range locator sensor 51, corresponding to the claimed discriminating a movement 

criterion. Ex-1003, ¶85.

Huebner further discloses the claimed processor is configured to provide 

associated image data signaling to project associated image data. As discussed 

above, Huebner discloses that “[b]ased upon the sensed movement signals from 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 31 of 88

 24 

the spatial position sensor, the control unit can modify the image from the device 

to simulate the movement of the image projecting device.” Id., ¶[0008] (emphasis 

added). The control unit “reads the output of the spatial positions sensor 38 and 

animates the projected image accordingly.” Id., ¶[0080]. For example, “if a player 

sweeps or moves the device along the wall in a left horizontal direction, the 

projected image moves in an animated manner to the left.” Id., ¶[0080]. The 

control unit also “reads the range locator 51, determines the distance to the wall, 

and computes the necessary logical image zoom required to maintain the scale of 

the projected image.” Id., ¶[0142]. Because control unit receives movement signals 

from and reads spatial positions sensor and range locator sensor, and then moves, 

animates, or zooms in and out of an image in response to the movement, Huebner 

discloses providing the claimed associate image data signaling to project 

associated image data. Ex-1003, ¶86.

B. [Claim 2] A processor according to claim 1, wherein the 

particular image data for a particular movement criterion 

corresponds to an image associated with one or more of a 

particular function within an application, or one of a plurality of 

different applications, to be projected by the projector. 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that receives movement signals from a position sensor 

and reads a range locator sensor and projects and animates an image based on the 

received information. Ex-1003, ¶87. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 32 of 88

 25 

Huebner discloses the claimed particular movement criterion. As discussed 

above in Section VII.A.7, the control unit reads both spatial position and range 

movement information from the position sensor and range locator sensor (the 

claimed “movement criterion”). 

Huebner further discloses the claimed particular image data. As discussed 

above in Section VII.A.7, control unit 24 modifies an image based on information 

from spatial position sensor 38 and determines a zoom based on information from 

range locator sensor 51. As another example, the control unit can “cause the image 

to perform certain functions depending upon the movement of the track ball 36 

with player’s finger.” Id., ¶[0080] (emphasis added). 

Huebner discloses the claimed application. Huebner discloses that its 

devices “10a, 10b could be programmed to display any type of image desire.” Id., 

¶[0077]. Huebner’s devices are for “playing games and other interactive 

opportunities.” Id., ¶[0004]. An application is “[a] computer program designed to 

enable end users to perform specific tasks.” IEEE-Wiley Dictionary, 33. A POSA 

would have understood that Huebner’s devices 10a, 10b are programmed to 

display images, and specifically based on the movement of devices 10a, 10b (e.g., 

changing zoom, animating or modifying an image, or performing certain 

functions). Ex-1003, ¶90. For each specific task performed, and resultant displayed 

image, control unit 24 would have been programmed, and such programming 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 33 of 88

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 26 

would be within an application for playing games or other interactive 

opportunities. Ex-1003, ¶90.

As examples, Huebner explains that, “if a player sweeps or moves the 

device along the wall in a left horizontal direction, the projected image moves in an 

animated manner to the left.” Id., ¶[0080]. As a further example, Huebner discloses 

“if the control unit determines the device is tilted with a quick upward flick of the 

wrist, the projected image may be revised to cause the image to perform a certain 

action, such as having a dog sit up on its hind legs.” Id., ¶[0081]. 

This limitation requires only one of projecting an image associated with 

(1) one or more of a particular function within an application or (2) an image 

associated with one of a plurality of different applications. Huebner discloses both. 

Huebner discloses the claimed image associated with one or more of a 

particular function within an application to be projected by the projector. Because 

Huebner’s control unit 24 is programmed to display specific images based on 

specific movements, a POSA would have understood that the specific images 

based on movements described by Huebner correspond to computer programs 

designed to enable end users to perform specific tasks (i.e., applications). Ex-1003, 

¶93. The above examples demonstrate Huebner’s disclosure of this claim 

including, for example, a dog sitting up (i.e. the claimed image being displayed) 

based on a quick, upward flick of the wrist (i.e. the claimed particular function 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 34 of 88

 27 

within an application). Id., ¶¶[0076], [0081].Huebner also discloses the claimed 

image associated with “one of a plurality of different applications” to be projected 

by the projector. Because Huebner’s control unit is programmed to display specific 

images based on specific movements for “games and other interactive 

opportunities,” Huebner discloses that one image may be associated with one game 

or interactive opportunity of a number of games or interactive opportunities. This 

is consistent with Huebner’s disclosure of a number of games or interactive 

opportunities, for example, projecting cats and dogs, id., ¶[0087], FIG. 4A, sabers 

and dragons, id., ¶[0145], FIG. 11, and spaceships and lasers. Id., ¶[0172], FIG. 20. 

Each of these displays changes or animates based on movement of device 10, and 

thus Huebner’s disclosure corresponds to the claimed particular function within 

one of a plurality of different applications. Ex-1003, ¶94.

C. [Claim 3] A processor according to claim 1, wherein the 

particular image data for a particular movement criterion 

corresponds to an image associated with a particular function 

within an application to be projected by the projector. 

Huebner teaches this claim for the same reasons discussed above in claim 2 

Section VII.B because there is no patentable distinction between claim 3 and claim 

2, as discussed in Mr. Gray’s declaration. Ex-1003, ¶¶95-96.

D. [Claim 4] A processor according to claim 1, wherein the 

particular image data for a particular movement criterion 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 35 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 28 

corresponds to an image associated with one of a plurality of 

different applications to be projected by the projector. 

Huebner teaches this claim same reasons discussed above in claim 2 in 

Section VII.B because there is no patentable distinction between claim 4 and claim 

2, as discussed in Mr. Gray’s declaration. Ex-1003, ¶¶97-98.

E. [Claim 5] A processor according to claim 1, wherein the 

particular image data for a particular movement criterion 

corresponds to an image associated with part of a larger image, 

and wherein movement of the projector provides for scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image. 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a device 

that projects an image onto a larger display area, provided by an external device, 

and the movement of the device changes the position of the image and projects the 

image as part of the larger display area. Ex-1003, ¶99. 

Huebner discloses the claimed “particular image data for a particular 

movement criterion,” as discussed above in Section VIII.B, because Huebner 

discloses changing, modifying, and zooming in and out of an image based on 

movement. 

Huebner also discloses an image associated with part of a larger image. 

Huebner discloses that “images from more than one image processing device can 

be synchronized to provide a single, coherent image result.” Id., ¶[0162]. Its device 

10 may connect, via internet network 112, to “an external device 110,” including 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 36 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 29 

an “additional graphic display, perhaps having greater display area and resolution.” 

Id., ¶¶[0137]-[0138]. Device 10 can then project an image that interacts with the 

external device 110’s video display. Id., ¶[0139]. For example, when pointed at the 

external device 110’s larger display area, device 10 projects an image that is part of 

the larger display area. Id.

Huebner also discloses movement of the projector provides for scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image. Huebner device 10 

can project an image that interacts with the external device 110’s video display. 

Id., ¶[0139]. For example, “if the device's projected image was a dog, and the 

video display subject matter was a garden of flowers, a player may sweep the 

hand-held projector device in a horizontal motion, and see an animated dog go 

rollicking through the garden of flowers.” Id. In this example, the dog (the claimed 

“image associated with part of a larger image”) moves across the garden of flowers 

(the claimed “larger image”) based on the sweeping of the device (the claimed 

“movement of the projector”). Ex-1003, ¶102. A POSA would have understood 

that moving and animating the dog based on the sweeping of Huebner’s device, 

because projection of the dog image is from the device and onto the larger display 

area provided by external device 110, corresponds to the claimed “projector 

provides for scanning across to and projection of respective parts of the larger 

image.” Ex-1003, ¶102.

 30 

F. [Claim 7] A processor according to claim 5, wherein the 

movement of the projector provides for continuous scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image. 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a device 

that projects an image onto a larger projection area, provided by an external device, 

and the movement of the device changes the position of the image and projects the 

image as part of the larger display area. Ex-1003, ¶103. 

Huebner discloses the claimed “movement of the projector provides for 

continuous scanning across to and projection of respective parts of the larger 

image.” As discussed above for claim 5 in Section VII.E, Huebner discloses that 

“if the device's projected image was a dog, and the video display subject matter 

was a garden of flowers, a player may sweep the hand-held projector device in a 

horizontal motion, and see an animated dog go rollicking through the garden of 

flowers.” Id. (emphasis added). In this example, the dog (the claimed “image 

associated with part of a larger image”) moves across the garden of flowers (the 

claimed “larger image”) based on the sweeping of the device (the claimed 

“movement of the projector provides for continuous scanning across to and 

projection of respective parts of the larger image”). A POSA would have 

understood that Huebner’s projection of the image such as the dog would be 

maintained by the image projecting device to display a constant image as the image 

projecting device moves (the claimed “continuous scanning across to and 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 38 of 88

 31 

projection”), for example, when the dog rollicks as it moves on the larger image of 

the garden of flowers. Ex-1003, ¶104. A POSA would have understood that 

sweeping motion of Huebner’s device and resulting movement of the dog image as 

part of the larger display area corresponds to the claimed “continuous scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image.” Ex-1003, ¶104. 

G. [Claim 8] A processor according to claim 1, wherein the projector 

is a micro-projector. 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses its image 

projecting device is a hand-held projector device. Huebner, ¶[0058] (describing a 

device “held in the hand”); id., ¶[0004] (describing “a hand held device”). Ex1003, ¶105. The ’071 patent describes a “micro-projector” as “a smaller projecting 

unit than is found in, for example, home theatre size projectors” and “is capable of 

being easily moved by a user’s hand, in that it is hand portable.” Ex-1001, 4:66-

5:3. 

H. Claim 9 

1. [9A] An apparatus comprising the processor of claim 1, and 

a movement sensor configured to detect movement of the 

apparatus and/or a projector, and 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that includes a position sensor within the housing of 

an image projecting device that determines relative motion. Ex-1003, ¶108.

 33 

“regarding movement of the entire image projecting device 10 along x, y and z 

axes.” Id., ¶[0064]. Huebner discloses detecting movement of both the apparatus 

and a projector because “image projecting device 10 includes a projector 42.” Id., 

¶[0066]. Because image projecting device 10 includes control unit 24, projector 42, 

and position sensor 38, a POSA would have understood that position sensor 38 

anticipates the claimed “movement sensor configured to detect movement of the 

apparatus and/or a projector.” Ex-1003, ¶111. 

2. [9B] wherein the movement sensor is configured to provide 

corresponding movement signaling to the processor. 

Huebner teaches this claim limitation because Huebner discloses a control 

unit that receives movement signals from a position sensor. Ex-1003, ¶112. 

Huebner discloses the claimed movement signaling as discussed above in 

Section VII.A.2, because control unit 24 receives movement signals from and 

reads spatial positions sensor 38 and range locator sensor 51. Ex-1003, ¶113. 

Huebner discloses the claimed movement sensor is configured to provide 

corresponding movement signaling to the processor because Huebner discloses 

that its “image projecting device can also include a spatial positions sensor that is 

mounted within the housing of the image projected device and is operable to 

generate a movement signal received by the control unit that is based upon the 

movement of the housing.” Id., ¶[0008] (emphasis added). Huebner further

discloses its control unit 24 “reads the output of the spatial positions sensor 38 and 

animates the projected image accordingly.” Id., ¶[0080]. Reading spatial sensor 38 

anticipates the claimed “the movement sensor is configured to provide 

corresponding movement signaling to the processor.” Ex-1003, ¶114.

I. Claim 10 

1. [10A] The apparatus of claim 9, wherein: the apparatus is a 

projector, or the apparatus comprises a projector; and 

Huebner discloses the claimed apparatus is a projector or the apparatus 

includes a projector. Fig. 2 of Huebner shows an image projecting device 10

including projector 42. Id., ¶¶[0064], [0066], [0075].

 35 

Because it includes projector 42, Huebner’s image projecting device 10 discloses 

the claimed “apparatus comprises a projector.” 

2. [10B] the movement sensor is configured to detect 

movement of the projector. 

Huebner discloses the claimed movement sensor is configured to detect 

movement of the projector because Huebner discloses that its “image projecting 

device can also include a spatial positions sensor that is mounted within the 

housing of the image projected device and is operable to generate a movement 

signal received by the control unit that is based upon the movement of the 

housing.” Id., ¶[0008] (emphasis added). Huebner discloses its image projecting 

device housing includes projector 42. Id., ¶[0066]; FIG. 2. Spatial sensor 38 

generating a movement signal based on the movement of the image projecting 

device housing corresponds to the claimed “movement sensor is configured to 

detect movement of the projector.” Ex-1003, ¶118.

J. [Claim 11] The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the apparatus is a 

module for a projector. 

Huebner discloses the claimed apparatus is a module for a projector. 

Huebner discloses that its device 10 “is a standalone device.” Huebner, ¶[0138]. 

Further, Huebner discloses “it is contemplated that the images from more than one 

image processing device can be synchronized to provide a single, coherent image 

result.” Id., ¶[0139]. And, its device 10 may connect, via internet network 112, to 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 43 of 88

 36 

“an external device 110,” including an “additional graphic display, perhaps having 

greater display area and resolution.” Id., ¶¶[0137]-[0138]. Device 10 can also 

project an image that interacts with the external device 110’s video display. Id., 

¶[0139]. A POSA would have understood that the external device 110’s greater 

display area could be a projection, as Huebner discloses images from two 

projectors interacting with regards to device 10a and a second device 10b. Id., 

¶[0078]; Ex-1003, ¶120. In this case, image projecting device 10 including 

projector 42, position sensor 38, and control unit 24, is a standalone device (the 

claimed “module”) that connects via the internet to the projector of external device 

110 (the claimed “projector”). Ex-1003, ¶120. 

K. Claim 13 

Huebner teaches this claim for the reasons set forth above in Sections 

VII.A.1-VII.A.7 for claim 1. The limitations of claim 13 are substantially similar to 

those of claim 1, except that claim 13 is a “method of” performing the same 

functionality claimed in claim 1. Ex-1003, ¶122 (comparing claims); see Smart 

Sys. Innovations, LLC v. Chi. Transit Auth., 873 F.3d 1364, 1368 n.7 (Fed. Cir. 

2017) (quoting Accenture Glob. Servs., GmbH v. Guidewire Software, Inc., 728

brackets, and internal quotation marks omitted)). 

L. Claim 14 

Huebner renders obvious claim 14 for the reasons set forth above in Sections 

VII.A.1-VII.A.7 for claim 1. Except for claim [14p] discussed below, claim 14 is a 

method that claims program code including substantially similar limitations as 

those performed by the processor of claim 1 and any differences of limitation in 

claims [14p] are rendered obvious. Ex-1003, ¶125 (comparing claims); see Smart

Huebner discloses the claimed computer program code executed by one or 

more processors. Huebner discloses that its devices “could be programmed to 

display any type of image desired.” Id., ¶[0076]. Huebner’s control unit 24 

corresponds to the claimed “one or more processors” that can be programmed and 

Huebner’s data storage unit 37 corresponds to the claimed “a computer readable 

medium.” A POSA would have understood that Huebner’s programs correspond to 

the claimed “computer program code,” because control unit 24 is a microprocessor 

that operates the other components of image projecting device 10. Ex-1003, ¶130. 

A POSA would have found it obvious that the program to cause the control unit 24 

to operate projector 42, among other operations, would be stored on data storage 

unit 37 or the other types of dynamic memory disclosed by Huebner. Ex-1003, 

¶130. 

A POSA would also have understood that Huebner’s operation of other 

components by control unit 24 discloses the claimed computer program code 

executed by one or more processors because a “processor” is “[t]he portion of a 

computer which has the necessary circuits to interpret and execute instructions, and 

to control all other parts of the computer.” IEEE-Wiley Dictionary, 605. A POSA 

would have understood that interpreting and executing instructions correspond to 

the claimed computer program code because computer program code is a list of 

instructions to perform functions of a computer. Ex-1003, ¶131.

VIII. GROUND 2: CLAIMS 1-14 ARE UNPATENTABLE OVER DE HAAN

De Haan anticipates every element of claims 1-5, 8-11, 13, and 14. Ex-1003, 

¶132. De Haan anticipates and/or renders obvious every element of claims 6-7, and 

12. 

A. Claim 1 

De Haan anticipates claim 1. Ex-1003, ¶133. 

1. [1p] 

Should the preamble be limiting, De Haan teaches it because De Haan 

discloses a controller that includes a processor that operates other components of a 

projecting device, including instructions to operate, where one of the components 

is a projector that projects images. Ex-1003, ¶134. 

De Haan discloses the claimed processor. De Haan discloses that its 

controller 315 includes a processor. Id., ¶[0054]. Specifically, De Haan discloses: 

“Controller 315 may include a component that interprets and executes instructions 

to control one or more other components of device 105.” Id., ¶[0054].

De Haan also discloses the claimed projector. De Haan discloses 

“projecting, by a device, content on a surface.” De Haan, Abstract. For example, as 

shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, De Haan discloses device 105 including projector 

305 and controller 315. Id., ¶¶[0037], [0050]. Projector 305 “may include a 

component capable of projecting images.” Id., ¶[0051].

 41 

Id., FIG. 2 (annotated). 

Id., Annotated FIG. 2. 

De Haan discloses the claimed processor for providing image data signaling 

to a projector. A POSA would have understood that a “signal” conveys 

information. Ex-1003, ¶137 (citing IEEE-Wiley Dictionary, 707). Controller 315 

controls other components such as projector 305. Id., ¶¶[0055]-[0056]. As an 

example, “controller 315 may determine compensation information based on the 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 49 of 88

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 42 

movement information so that content projected by projector 305 remains 

relatively stable.” Id., ¶[0056]. Because controller 315 determines the 

compensation information so that projector 305 can use it, a POSA would have 

understood that controller 315 provides the compensation information, relating to 

the stable image to be projected, to projector 305. Ex-1003, ¶137. A POSA would 

have understood that the control of projector 305 occurs through conveying 

information from controller 315 to projector 305, such as compensation 

information. Ex-1003, ¶137. 

 As another example, De Haan discloses several operations performed by 

device 105, id., ¶¶[0065]-[0073], that are controlled by controller 315. Id., ¶[0080]. 

A POSA also would have understood that the operations of device 105 to be 

conducted by a controller such as controller 315 because controller 315 controls 

other components of device 105. Id., ¶[0054]. These operations include projecting 

images based on interactions with the projected content, such as scrolling, 

highlighting, dragging-and-dropping, navigating in a menu, and so on. Id., 

¶¶[0065], [0068]. A POSA would have understood that De Haan’s controller 

operating its projector and processing compensation information and performing 

other operations of De Haan’s device corresponds to the claimed “processor for 

providing image data signaling to a projector.” Ex-1003, ¶138.

 De Haan discloses the claimed image data signaling representing an image 

to be projected by the projector. As discussed above, compensation information 

determined by controller 315 is used by projector 305 to project a stable image. Id., 

¶[0056]. Additionally, operations such as scrolling, highlighting, dragging-anddropping, navigating in a menu, etc., result in images reflecting those interactions. 

Id., ¶¶[0065], [0068]. A POSA would have understood that the images projected as 

a result of this compensation information and operations. Ex-1003, ¶139. 

2. [1A] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

controller (i.e., claimed processor) that receives gesture and non-gesture 

information, including, for example, path and speed information, from an 

accelerometer inside of De Haan’s device. Ex-1003, ¶140. 

De Haan discloses the claimed input. Fig. 3 of De Haan shows a device 105

including controller 315 and accelerometer 310. Id., ¶[0050]. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 51 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 44 

Id., Annotated FIG. 3. 

The controller 315 may receive gesture and non-gesture “information from 

accelerometer 310,” including “trace or path information, an acceleration 

measurement, a speed measurement, and other types of information” related to 

movement of device 105. Id., ¶¶[0056]-[0057], [0064]. A POSA would have 

understood that De Haan’s controller 315 receiving gesture information from the 

accelerometer and using the gesture information corresponds to the claimed 

“movement signaling associated with movement of the projector.” Ex-1003, ¶142. 

Because controller 315 receives information, a POSA would have understood that 

it includes the claimed input. Ex-1003, ¶142. Additionally, because controller 315 

is a separate, external component from accelerometer 310, as shown in FIG. 3, a

 45 

POSA would have understood that controller 315 includes the claimed “input.” 

Ex-1003, ¶142. 

3. [1B] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

controller (i.e., claimed processor) that controls other components of a device, 

including a projector, using gesture/non-gesture information to determine image 

compensation information that is used by the projector. Ex-1003, ¶143. 

De Haan discloses the claimed output. Controller 315 controls the 

components of device 105 such as projector 305. Id., ¶[0066]. The “controller 315 

may determine compensation information based on the gesture information” or the 

“non-gesture information” and “projector 305 may project an image based on the 

compensation information.” Id., ¶¶[0056]-[0057]. Because controller 315 is a 

processor that determines compensation information used by projector 305, a 

POSA would have understood that control unit 24 discloses the claimed output. 

Ex-1003, ¶144. Additionally, because controller 315 is a separate, external 

component from projector 305, as shown in FIG. 3, a POSA would have 

understood that controller 315 includes the claimed “output.” Ex-1003, ¶144. 

 De Haan also discloses the claimed providing image data signaling to the 

projector. A POSA would have understood that De Haan’s controller 315 

providing compensation information to projector 305 and performing other

operations of device 105 that result in images being projected corresponds to the 

claimed “provid[ing] image data signaling to the projector,” as discussed above in 

Section VIII.A.1. Ex-1003, ¶145. 

4. [1C] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses its control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) modifying an image based on the movement 

information (i.e., claimed movement signaling) received from an accelerometer. 

Ex-1003, ¶146. 

De Haan discloses the claimed image data signaling as discussed above in 

Section VIII.A.1 because De Haan discloses its controller providing compensation 

information to a projector and projecting images based on other operations. De 

Haan discloses the claimed movement signaling as discussed above in Section 

VIII.A.2 because De Haan discloses a controller that receives gesture and nongesture information related to movement of a device. 

With respect to providing “image data signaling to the projector based on 

movement signaling,” the ’071 patent specification describes that the processor, 

once movement is detected, “provides different image data signaling to the 

projector 2.” Id., 7:21-23; FIGS. 2b, 2c. De Haan discloses the claimed processor 

is configured to provide image data signaling to the projector based on received 

movement signaling. De Haan’s “controller 315 may determine compensation 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 54 of 88

 47 

information based on the gesture information” and “projector 305 may project an 

image based on the compensation information.” Id., ¶[0056]. De Haan discloses, 

for example “[c]ontroller 315 may determine compensation information based on 

the movement information so that content projected by projector 305 remains 

relatively stable” Id., ¶[0056] (emphasis added). The same is true for non-gesture 

information. Id., ¶[0057]. As a further example, the device may include 

components to “detect an orientation of the device, and the determining the 

operation that corresponds to the movement may be based on the orientation of the 

device.” Id., ¶[0015] (emphasis added). Thus, the compensation information and 

other operations based on movement of the device determined and performed by 

De Haan’s controller 315 anticipates the claimed providing image data signaling to 

the projector based on received movement signaling. Ex-1003, ¶149.

5. [1D] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a control 

unit (i.e., claimed processor) that receives gesture/non-gesture information from an 

accelerometer inside of De Haan’s device that measures, for example, speed and 

path information. Ex-1003, ¶150. 

De Haan discloses the claimed movement signaling as discussed above in 

Section VIII.A.2 because De Haan discloses its controller receiving gesture and 

non-gesture information relating to movement of a device from an accelerometer.

 48 

De Haan also discloses the claimed indication of one or move movement criterion 

of the projector. Accelerometer 310 “may include a 3-axis or a 2-axis 

accelerometer,” and “may include one or more gyroscopes for measuring and/or 

determining an orientation of device 105 and/or other types of gesture-based 

detectors.” Id., ¶[0053]. Specifically, De Haan discloses that information from its 

accelerometer 310 may include “trace or path information, an acceleration 

measurement, a speed measurement, and other types of information” related to 

movement of device 105. Id., ¶¶[0056]-[0057]. This information includes 

movement information (i.e., claimed indication of one or more movement criterion 

of the projector). Ex-1003, ¶151. 

6. [1E] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

controller (i.e., claimed processor) within a device that receives movement 

information from an accelerometer, where the accelerometer measures, for 

example, speed and path information caused by movement of the device. Ex-1003, 

¶152. 

According to this limitation, only one of (1) displacement or (2) movement 

speed of the projector need be disclosed in the prior art to anticipate this limitation. 

Nevertheless, De Haan discloses both displacement and movement speed.

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 49 

De Haan discloses the claimed displacement because De Haan discloses 

accelerometer 315 that provides gesture or non-gesture information that includes 

“length of movement,” and “trace or path information.” Id., ¶¶[0056], [0057]. A 

POSA would have understood that length of movement corresponds to the claimed 

“displacement,” because displacement is a distance from one point to another. Ex1003, ¶154. A POSA would have understood that the measuring trace or path 

information would include determining the difference of De Haan’s device 

position at one point and the position of the device at another point, corresponding 

to the claimed “displacement.” Ex-1003, ¶154. 

De Haan discloses the claimed movement speed, because De Haan discloses 

accelerometer 315 measures “speed” “caused by the movement of device 105.” Id., 

¶[0053]. Accelerometer 315 provides gesture or non-gesture information that 

includes “speed.” Id., ¶¶[0056]-[0057]. As such, the taught “speed” corresponds to 

the claimed “movement speed.” Ex-1003, ¶155. 

De Haan discloses the claimed movement criterion representing one or more 

of displacement and movement speed of the projector, because De Haan discloses 

its accelerometer 315 is within device 105 and measures trace or path information 

and speed of device 105. Id., ¶¶[0056]-[0057].

7. [1F] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

controller (i.e., claimed processor) that distinguishes movement information from 

an accelerometer, and the controller uses the gesture/non-gesture information to 

determine image compensation information that is used by the projector in 

projecting an image. Ex-1003, ¶157. 

De Haan discloses the claimed image data signaling as discussed above in 

Section VIII.A.1 because De Haan discloses its controller providing compensation 

information to a projector and projecting images based on other operations. 

The ’071 patent describes that its processor 1 “associate[s] particular image 

data with a particular movement criterion represented/indicated by received 

movement signaling.” Id., 5:37-41. Other than the claim language, this is the only 

disclosure of the ’071 patent that relates to the claimed “discriminate a movement 

criterion.” 

De Haan discloses the claimed “processor configured to discriminate a 

movement criterion.”. De Haan discloses that “[c]ontroller 315 may determine 

compensation information based on the movement information.” Id., ¶[0056] 

(emphasis added). Specifically, De Haan discloses its “[c]ontroller 315 may 

determine compensation information based on the non-gesture [or the gesture] 

information so that the projected content may be stabilized on a surface.” Id.,

¶¶[0056]-[0057] (emphasis added). Because controller 315 receives gesture and 

non-gesture information, including path information and speed measurements, 

controller 315 corresponds to the claimed “wherein the processor is configured to 

discriminate a movement criterion.” Ex-1003, ¶160. 

As another example, De Haan discloses “detecting a movement of the 

device, determining an operation that corresponds to the movement and interacts 

with the content, and performing the operation.” De Haan, ¶[0003]. Additionally, 

“a movement of device 105 based on a user's gesticulation may be correctly 

interpreted by device 105 and an operation corresponding to the movement of 

device 105 may be performed.” Id., ¶[0066] (emphasis added). 

De Haan further discloses the claimed processor is configured to provide 

associated image data signaling to project associated image data. De Haan’s device 

may also determine if a gesture was performed and then perform “an operation that 

corresponds to the movement [of the device] and interact with the content when it 

is determined that the movement includes the gesture.” Id., ¶ [0004]. The operation 

might be “scrolling, selecting, entering data, highlighting, dragging-and-dropping, 

or navigating in a menu.” Id., ¶¶[0006], [0065], [0081], [0112]. The performing the 

operation is “based on the at least one of detected acceleration or detected speed.” 

Id., ¶[0008]. For example, “the user may make a gesture to scroll.” Id., ¶¶[0037], 

[0081].

B. [Claim 2] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

controller that receives movement information from an accelerometer and projects 

an indicator and scrolls across an image based on the received information. Ex1003, ¶163. 

De Haan discloses the claimed particular movement criterion. As discussed 

above in Section VIII.A.5, controller 315 receives information from accelerometer 

310 regarding movement of device 105. De Haan discloses that its device 

determines if a gesture is performed and “an operation that corresponds to the 

movement [of the device] and interact with the content when it is determined that 

the movement includes the gesture.” Id., ¶[0004]. 

De Haan further discloses the claimed particular image data. As discussed 

above in Section VIII.A.7, controller 315 provides compensation information that 

use to stabilize the image by projector 305 and controller 315 performs operations 

that result in scrolling, highlighting, etc. 

De Haan discloses the claimed application. De Haan discloses “numerous 

types of applications accessible and/or stored on device 700 while utilizing device 

105.” Id., ¶[0103]. De Haan discloses that its “applications may include a variety 

of software programs, such as a contact list, a digital audio player, a digital media 

player, an organizer, a text messenger, a calendar, a game, a web browsing device, 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 60 of 88

 53 

a projector, a camera, etc.” Id., ¶[0062]. De Haan discloses that a user can “interact 

with an application or interface associated with the selection of” an icon, such as 

interacting with icon 115-2 using indicator 120, shown in Figure 1 below to scroll 

and select. Id., ¶¶[0037]-[0038]. A user’s gesture may be used to scroll or select. 

Id.

Id., FIG. 1.

De Haan discloses the claimed image associated with one or more of a 

particular function within an application, or one of a plurality of different 

applications, to be projected by the projector. De Haan discloses that “device 105 

may recognize a set of default movements or gestures (e.g., a stroke from left to 

right, a stroke from right to left, a tap movement) that may be performed by a user 

for a particular operation (e.g., to scroll from left to right, to scroll from right to 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 61 of 88

 54 

left, to enter a character or to make a selection).” Id., ¶[0068]. A POSA would have 

understood that De Haan’s operations such as scrolling and selecting would be 

used for a function within an application or one of several applications such as 

those described above, including a web browser. See id., ¶[0039]; Ex-1003, ¶167. 

C. [Claim 3]

De Haan teaches this claim as discussed above in claim 2 in Section VIII.B 

because claim 3 includes the same claim limitations as claim 2. Ex-1003, ¶168. 

Thus, Petitioner relies upon the arguments set forth above in Section VIII.B for 

claim 2. Claim 3 shares substantially similar language with claim 2, as discussed in 

Mr. Gray’s declaration. Ex-1003, ¶168. 

D. [Claim 4]

De Haan teaches this claim as discussed above in claim 2 in Section VIII.B 

because claim 4 includes the same claim limitations as claim 2. Ex-1003, ¶169. 

Thus, Petitioner relies upon the arguments set forth above in Section VIII.B for 

claim 2. Claim 4 shares substantially similar language with claim 2, as discussed in 

Mr. Gray’s declaration. Ex-1003, ¶169. 

E. [Claim 5]

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a device 

that projects an image and is interacted with by scrolling across the image and 

including projecting and using a cursor or selector. Ex-1003, ¶170. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 62 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 55 

De Haan discloses the claimed “particular image data for a particular 

movement criterion,” as discussed above in Section VIII.B because De Haan

discloses a controller that receives movement information from an accelerometer 

(see Section VIII.B) and projects an indicator and scrolls across an image based on 

the received information (see Section VIII.B). 

De Haan also discloses an image associated with part of a larger image. De 

Haan discloses that its device determines if a gesture is performed and “an 

operation that corresponds to the movement [of the device] and interact with the 

content when it is determined that the movement includes the gesture.” Id., ¶ 

[0004]. For example, “a pointer or a selector (e.g., an indicator 120) or user 

interface 110 may scroll to icon 115-2 in response to the user's gesture,” as shown 

below in FIG. 1. Id., ¶¶[0037], [0081]. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 63 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 56 

Id., FIG. 1. 

De Haan also discloses movement of the projector provides for scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image through a disclosed 

hand gesture. De Haan discloses that its device determines if a gesture is 

performed and “an operation that corresponds to the movement [of the device] and 

interact with the content when it is determined that the movement includes the 

gesture.” Id., ¶[0004]. Specifically, the operation might be “scrolling, selecting, 

entering data, highlighting, dragging-and-dropping, or navigating in a menu.” Id., 

¶[0006]. 

De Haan also discloses the claimed projection of respective parts of a larger 

image because De Haan’s FIG. 1 illustrates a menu with a scroll bar for access to 

portions of the larger image. Id., FIG. 1. De Haan also discloses a web browser. 

Id., ¶¶[0062], [0103]. A POSA would have understood that the menu scroll bar 

would be used to scroll to different parts of a web page or navigation menu (i.e., 

the claimed larger image). Ex-1003, ¶174. 

De Haan discloses the claimed “scanning across to and projection of 

respective parts of the larger image,” associated with the disclosed hand gesture 

and associated scrolling features. For instance, De Haan discloses a pointer or 

selector (the claimed “image associated with part of a larger image”) of device 

105, where device 105 responds to a user’s gesture (the claimed “particular 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 64 of 88

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 57 

movement criterion”) to scroll (the claimed “projector provid[ing] for scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image”). De Haan, 

¶[0037]. A POSA would have understood that De Haan’s scrolling corresponds to 

“scanning across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image.” Ex1003, ¶175. 

F. [Claim 6] A processor according to claim 5, wherein the 

movement of the projector provides for incremental scanning 

across to and projection of respective parts of the larger image. 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a device 

that projects an image and can be interacted with by scrolling across the image 

with varying degrees of scroll speed including according to a length of scroll. Ex1003, ¶176. To the extent Patent Owner argues that changing a length of scroll 

does not disclose incremental scanning, De Haan renders obvious incremental 

scanning because De Haan discloses varying degrees of scroll speed including 

changing a length of scroll and incremental scanning would be an obvious and 

predictable result of using differing lengths of scrolling, for example, to select 

icons. Ex-1003, ¶176. 

De Haan discloses the claimed incremental scanning. De Haan discloses 

that the operation of scrolling, as discussed above with respect to claim 5 in 

Section VIII.E, “may have varying degrees of scrolling (e.g., the speed of the 

scroll, the length of the scroll, etc.) based on acceleration, speed, etc., associated 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 65 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 58 

with the user’s gesture.” Id., ¶[0080] (emphasis added). Scrolling using a 

measurement of “the length of the scroll” corresponds to the claimed incremental 

scanning because scrolling using a specific length is scrolling using an increment. 

Ex-1003, ¶177. Additionally, a POSA would have understood that De Haan’s 

disclosure of varying degrees of scrolling, including changes in speed and length, 

renders obvious the claimed “incremental scanning,” because “incremental” is a 

predictable and obvious degree of scrolling to use, for example, when selecting 

distinct user interface icons of a user interface because selection of each icon is 

accomplished one at a time. Ex-1003, ¶177. 

G. [Claim 7]

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a device 

that projects an image and can be interacted with by scrolling across the image 

with varying degrees of scroll speed which would include continuous scanning. 

Ex-1003, ¶178. To the extent Patent Owner argues that changing a length of scroll 

does not disclose incremental scanning, De Haan renders obvious incremental 

scanning because De Haan discloses varying degrees of scroll speed including 

changing a length or speed of scroll and continuous scanning would be an obvious 

and predictable result of using differing lengths and speeds of scrolling. Ex-1003, 

¶178. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 66 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 59 

De Haan discloses the claimed continuous scanning. De Haan teaches that 

the operation of scrolling, as discussed above with respect to claim 5 in Section 

VIII.E, “may have varying degrees of scrolling (e.g., the speed of the scroll, the 

length of the scroll, etc.) based on acceleration, speed, etc., associated with the 

user’s gesture.” Id., ¶[0080]. For example, “may perform an angled gesture 520 

(represented by an arrow in FIG. 5B) with device 105 to cause a scrolling of left to 

right and a scrolling from down to up.” Id., ¶[0071]. Further, “accelerometer 310 

may be used to detect speed and/or acceleration for causing fast scrolling as 

opposed to slow scrolling depending on the movement (i.e., the user's gesture).” 

Id., ¶[0071]. Scrolling based on “speed of the scroll” corresponds to the claimed 

continuous scanning because scrolling to achieve a quick scroll speed would use 

continuous scrolling. Ex-1003, ¶179. A POSA would have understood that De 

Haan’s disclosure of varying degrees of scrolling, including changes in speed and 

length, renders obvious the claimed “continuous scanning,” because “continuous” 

is a predictable and obvious degree of scrolling to use, for example, when moving 

from one portion of a web browser to another. Ex-1003, ¶179.

H. [Claim 8]

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses its image 

projecting device is a handheld device that includes a projector. Ex-1003, ¶180. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 67 of 88

The ’071 patent describes a “micro-projector” as “a smaller projecting unit 

than is found in, for example, home theatre size projectors” and “is capable of 

being easily moved by a user’s hand, in that it is hand portable.” Ex-1001, 4:66-

5:3. 

De Haan discloses the claimed projector is a micro-projector. De Haan

discloses that its device is a portable device that can be held in user’s hand and 

includes a projector. Id., ¶¶[0037], [0050]. 

I. Claim 9 

1. [9A] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

handheld device (i.e., claimed apparatus) that includes a control unit (i.e., claimed 

processor) that includes an accelerometer (i.e., claimed movement sensor) within 

its handheld device that determines, for example, speed and path information of the 

handheld device. Ex-1003, ¶183. 

De Haan discloses the claimed apparatus and that the apparatus includes the 

claimed movement sensor. De Haan discloses device 105 including projector 305, 

using projector lens 220 as shown in FIG. 2, accelerometer 310, and controller 315. 

Id., ¶¶[0037], [0042], [0050].

De Haan also discloses the claimed movement sensor configured to detect 

movement of the apparatus and/or a projector. De Haan discloses that its 

“[a]ccelerometer 310 may measure speed and/or trace or path information caused 

by the movement of device 105.” Id., ¶[0053] (emphasis added). De Haan’s 

accelerometer 310 corresponds to the claimed “movement sensor configured to 

detect movement of the apparatus and/or a projector.” Ex-1003, ¶186.

2. [9B] 

De Haan teaches this claim limitation because De Haan discloses a 

controller (i.e., claimed processor) that receives gesture and non-gesture 

information including, for example, speed and path information, from an 

accelerometer that the controller uses to determine compensation information or 

perform operations of the device. Ex-1003, ¶187. 

De Haan discloses the claimed movement signaling as discussed above in 

Section VIII.A.2. De Haan discloses the claimed movement sensor configured to 

provide corresponding movement signaling to the processor. De Haan discloses 

that information from its accelerometer 310 may include “trace or path 

information, an acceleration measurement, a speed measurement, and other types 

of information” related to movement of device 105. Id., ¶¶[0056]-[0057]. This 

information is “receive[d]” by controller 315 “from accelerometer 310.” Id.

 65 

K. [Claim 11] 

De Haan discloses the claimed apparatus is a module for a projector, as 

recited in claim 11. De Haan’s “[d]evice 105 is intended to be broadly interpreted 

to include any number of consumer devices.” Id., ¶[0041]. Further, De Haan

discloses that its “device 105 may include a portable device or a handheld device, 

such as a wireless telephone, a PDA, an audio player, an audio/video player, an 

MP3 player, a gaming device, a pervasive computing device, a handheld computer, 

a data organizer or another kind of communication, computational and/or 

entertainment device.” Id., ¶[0041]. De Haan also discloses that “housing 200 may 

including a structure capable of containing components and structures of device 

105.” Id., ¶[0042]. 

A POSA would have understood that De Haan’s device 105, including 

projector 305, accelerometer 310, and controller 315, would have formed only a 

portion of the many devices described in De Haan, such as a communication 

device. It would have been obvious to implement De Haan’s device 105 as a part 

of these other disclosed devices. Ex-1003, ¶198. 

L. [Claim 12] A user interface configured to be connected to the 

processor of claim 1, the user interface configured to be operable

 66 

to configure the processor to provide image data signaling to the 

projector based on received movement signaling. 

De Haan renders obvious this claim because De Haan discloses a user 

interface for changing a mode of the device or providing other types of input to the 

device, and De Haan’s disclosure of setting a movement to a specific operation 

would be one of those modes or inputs. Ex-1003, ¶199. 

De Haan discloses the claimed user interface connected to the processor. De 

Haan discloses that its device 105 may project content “correspond[ing] to a user 

interface 110.” Id., ¶[0037]. Further, “[c]ontroller 315 may include a component 

that interprets and executes instructions to control one or more other components 

of device 105.” Id., ¶[0054]. A POSA would have understood that controller 315 is 

connected to user interface 110 because controller 315 operates the components of 

device 105. Ex-1003, ¶200. Specifically, De Haan discloses that a user can 

“interact with an application or interface associated with the selection of” an icon, 

such as interacting with icon 115-2 using indicator 120, shown in Figure 1 below. 

Id., ¶[0038].

Id., FIG. 1. 

De Haan discloses a physical user interface of device 105 in that it discloses wheel 

215 and button 205 that are operable to make selections or perform other 

operations such as scrolling. Id., ¶[0044]. 

De Haan discloses the claimed user interface configured to be operable to 

configure the processor. De Haan discloses that device 105 includes wheel 215 and 

button 205, [that permits] a user to make a selection (e.g., from information 

presented via user interface 110, shown above), change a mode of device 105, turn 

on and turn off a function, and/or other types of input relating to the operation and 

use of device 105.” Id., ¶[0044]. Controller 315 “interprets and executes 

instructions to control one or more other components of device 105.” Id., ¶[0054]. 

Thus, a POSA would have understood that controller 315 would be configured 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 75 of 88

using wheel 215 and button 205 to allow input into device 105 from a user because 

controller 315 would process and adjust operation and use of device 105 according 

to the user inputs. Ex-1003, ¶202.

De Haan discloses the claimed user interface configured to be operable to 

configure the processor to provide image data signaling to the projector based on 

received movement signaling. De Haan discloses “device 105 may provide that a 

user may set (e.g., program) a movement to correspond to a particular operation.” 

Id., ¶[0068]. A POSA would have understood that changing a mode of device 105 

or providing other types of input relating to the operation of device 105 would 

have included using user interface 110 to operate and use device 105 including 

setting a movement corresponding to a particular operation. Ex-1003, ¶203. A 

POSA would have understood that controller 315 would process and adjust 

operation and use of device 105, including setting a movement corresponding to a 

particular operation, according to user inputs via user interface 110. Ex-1003, 

¶203.

M. Claim 13 

De Haan anticipates this claim because claim 13 is a method that claims 

substantially similar limitations as those performed by the processor of claim 1. 

Ex-1003, ¶204.

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 69 

The limitations of claim 13 are substantially similar to those of claim 1, 

except that claim 13 is a “method of” performing the same functionality claimed in 

claim 1; thus, Petitioner relies upon the arguments set forth above in Sections 

VIII.A.1-VIII.A.7 for claim 1. Ex-1003, ¶205 (comparing claims); see Smart Sys. 

Innovations, LLC, 873 F.3d at 1368 n.7 (Fed. Cir. 2017). 

N. Claim 14 

De Haan anticipates this claim because claim 14 claims program code that 

includes substantially similar limitations as those performed by the processor of 

claim 1 except for claim [14p], which is also disclosed by De Haan. Ex-1003, 

¶206. 

The limitations of claim 14 are substantially similar to those of claim 1, 

except claim [14p] discussed below. For claim elements 14A-14E, Petitioner relies 

upon the arguments set forth above in Sections VIII.A.1-VIII.A.7 for claim 1. Ex1003, ¶207 (comparing claims); see Smart Sys. Innovations, LLC, 873 F.3d at 1368 

n.7. 

1. [14p] 

De Haan discloses the preamble of claim 14, if it is limiting, because De 

Haan discloses a controller that executes instructions to control other components 

of De Haan’s device.

De Haan discloses the claimed computer program code executed by one or 

more processors. De Haan discloses its “[c]ontroller 315 may access instructions 

from memory 335,” and that “controller 315 . . . interprets and executes 

instructions to control one or more other components of device 105.” Id., ¶¶[0054]-

 71 

POSA would have understood that “memory 335” disclosed by De Haan

corresponds to the claimed “computer readable medium.” De Haan’s memory 335 

stores instructions for the operation of device 105, accessed by controller 315, 

corresponding to the claimed “computer readable medium comprising computer 

program code configured to, when executed by one or more processors, cause an 

apparatus to perform” De Haan’s instructions to operate device 105. 

IX. NON-INSTITUTION UNDER 35 U.S.C. §§ 314 OR 325 WOULD BE 

IMPROPER 

Non-institution under 35 U.S.C. §§ 314(a) or 325(d) would be improper. 

The existence of parallel district court proceedings should not prevent institution of 

this Petition. Cf. NHK Spring Co. v. Intri-Plex Techs., Inc., IPR2018-00752, Paper 

8, at 19-20 (PTAB Sept. 12, 2018); see also Litigation. No factor favors denial of 

institution because, at this time, there is no investment beyond the initial 

discoveries at the district court and this IPR petition. Moreover, the strong merits 

of this case favor institution. 

A. Non-Institution Under 35 U.S.C. §314(a) Is Improper 

First, non-institution under 35 U.S.C. §§ 314(a) would be improper. Under 

the factors articulated in Apple Inc. v. Fintiv, Inc., IPR2020-00019, Paper 11 

(PTAB Mar. 20, 2020 (precedential), non-institution in light of the litigations 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 79 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 72 

would be improper because Factors 2-4 and 6 of the Fintiv factors favor institution, 

and Factors 1 and 5 are neutral. 

Factor 1 (district court stay) is neutral. While ZTE moved to stay on 

December 30, 2020, see Litigation, Dkt. 47, there remains no indication that the 

district court will grant or deny the motion to stay. Int’l Bus. Machines Corp. v. 

Trusted Knight Corp., IPR2020-00323, Paper 15 at 9 (PTAB Jul. 10, 2020). As 

discussed below, the motion to stay is based on ZTE’s pending Motion to Dismiss 

for Improper venue under § 1400, which unlike venue for convenience under 

§ 1404, is not discretionary. See Litigation, Dkt. 45. 

Factor 2 (proximity to district court trial) favors institution. The pending 

district court case is not scheduled for trial until June 20, 2022, and this date is 

subject to delays. Therefore, the Board will likely issue a final written decision 

before the pending district case. ZTE has moved to dismiss based on improper 

venue, and further moved to stay until venue is set. These motions are currently 

pending, making it “unclear that the court in the related district court litigation will 

adhere to any [future] scheduled jury trial date.” Sand Revolution II, LLC v. Cont’l 

Intermodal Group-Trucking LLC, IPR2019-01393, Paper 24, at 9 (PTAB June 16, 

2020) (informative). Should the district court grant either of the pending improper 

venue motion or the motion to stay, these cases will be assigned new, later trial 

dates likely in a new forum. Additionally, it is further noted that Judge Albright is 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 80 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 73 

unable to maintain trials based on their originally scheduled dates and is delaying 

the trials. As one example, the VLSI Tech. LLC v. Intel Corp., No. 1:19-cv-00254 

(W.D. Tex.) trial this month was delayed four months from its original date in 

October 2020. 

Factor 3 (investment in district court case) favors institution. The parties’ 

and the court’s investment in this case has been minimal. Fintiv, Paper 11, at 11. 

Although preliminary infringement and invalidity contentions have been served, 

claim construction has only just begun, and the claim construction hearing is not 

scheduled to occur for another two months in May 2021. In addition, the parties 

have not conducted any substantive fact discovery, as fact discovery does not open 

until after the claim construction hearing. Finally, the district court has not 

addressed the substance of the ’071 Patent—Patent Owner did not move for a 

preliminary injunction, and Defendants did not move to dismiss Patent Owner’s 

action based on the substance of the ’071 Patent, such as a motion to dismiss based 

on § 101. Where, as here, “the district court has not issued orders related to the 

patent at issue in the petition, this fact weighs against exercising discretion to deny 

institution.” Fintiv, Paper 11, at 10. 

Factor 4 (overlapping issues) favors institution. WSOU is a prolific filer of 

patent infringement lawsuits. Based on WSOU’s litigation activity, it is likely that 

WSOU will bring more suits against other parties based on the ‘071 patent. 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 81 of 88

 74 

Resolving the invalidity questions raised herein would mitigate any concern of 

duplicative efforts in the future. Additionally, ZTE will stipulate that, if this IPR is 

instituted, it will not pursue the specific grounds identified in this Petition 

(Sections VII-VIII) before the district court. This stipulation mitigates any concern 

of duplicative efforts. Sand Revolution, Paper 24, at 11-12. 

Factor 5 (whether petitioner is also the defendant in district court) is neutral. 

Factor 6 (other circumstances) favors institution. As explained above, the 

challenged claims are unpatentable over Huebner, and De Haan—none of which 

were considered during prosecution. A determination of its validity by the Board 

here would still save resources in the associated district court, and any additional 

cases WSOU may bring. There is a significant public interest against “leaving bad 

patents enforceable,” Thryv, Inc v. Click-To-Call Techs., LP, 140 S. Ct. 1367, 1374 

(2020). 

B. Non-Institution Under 35 U.S.C. §325 Is Improper 

Second, Non-institution under § 325 would also be improper based on a 

weighing of the factors set forth in Becton, Dickinson & Co. v. B. Braun 

Melsungen AG, IPR2017-01586, Paper 8 (PTAB Dec. 15, 2017). The asserted 

combinations are materially different and not cumulative of the prior art involved 

during the examination of the challenged claims. During prosecution, the following 

reference was applied by the examiner: Adachi (Ex-1009). Adachi describes 

Case 6:20-cv-00492-ADA Document 67-1 Filed 04/09/21 Page 82 of 88
 IPR2021-00695 Petition 

 U.S. Patent 8,147,071 

 75 

projecting capabilities “in consumer electronic devices that are used for the capture 

or reproduction of images.” Adachi, Abstract. 

The primary references in the asserted combinations, Huebner and/or De 

Haan, were never listed by the Patent Owner nor cited by the examiner. They were 

never discussed or applied by the examiner to reject any claims. They are 

materially different from and not cumulative of the earlier references at least 

because they describe projection imaging devices that include movement sensors—

elements that WSOU argued were missing from Adachi. There is thus little to no 

overlap between the current and prior arguments. Becton, Paper 8, 23. But 

Huebner and De Haan teach these added limitations, making denial under § 325(d) 

improper. Sections VII-VIII.

XI. GROUNDS FOR STANDING 

Petitioner certifies the ’071 patent is available for IPR and Petitioner is not 

barred or estopped from requesting IPR challenging the patent claims on the 

grounds identified in this Petition. 

XII. CONCLUSION 

Petitioner has established a reasonable likelihood of prevailing with respect 

to each of the challenged claims 1-14 of the ’071 patent. Petitioner therefore 

requests the Board institute inter partes review and cancel each of these claims as 

unpatentable.
