`
`
`PETITIONER’S SUPPLEMENTAL PAPER ON RELEVANCE OF
`DISTRICT COURT CLAIM CONSTRUCTION DECISION
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01078
`
`
`During the February 4, 2019 teleconference with the Board, counsel for
`
`Patent Owner asserted that the district court’s claim construction order is relevant
`
`in this proceeding for a limited purpose. (Ex. 1040, 10:3-20). Patent Owner’s
`
`counsel asserted that GoPro argued to the Board that there is no word “parallel” in
`
`the challenged claims, but the district court construed certain claims to require this
`
`limitation. Id.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner seeks to manufacture inconsistency where there is none.
`
`GoPro has consistently argued that Boland teaches generation of high-resolution
`
`and low-resolution video data from the video image data in parallel. (Paper 1, 35-
`
`36 (explaining that Boland discloses “multiple, parallel video streams”); IPR2015-
`
`01080, Paper 38, 14 (explaining that Boland teaches generating “different
`
`qualities/resolutions from the video image data at the same time in parallel, not in
`
`serial as Patent Owner asserts”)). At oral argument in these proceedings, counsel
`
`for GoPro clarified that the claims do not require parallel processors, nor do the
`
`claims require parallel processing solely or directly from the image sensor as
`
`Patent Owner maintained. (Paper 53, 23:4-24:6, 26:23-27:25, 78:11-80:18).
`
`
`
`The district court’s construction of the “generate” and “generating” terms
`
`that appear in claims 1, 3, and 11 in the ’694 patent (Ex. 2016, 9:15-13:28) in no
`
`way undermines GoPro’s arguments in front of the Board or the disclosure of
`
`Boland. While the district court construed the claims to require generation of two
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`video streams in parallel, consistent with GoPro’s arguments to the Board, no
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01078
`
`requirement for the high resolution and low resolution video streams to be
`
`generated solely or directly from the image sensor using parallel processors was
`
`added. (Id., 9:23-11:21).
`
`Thus, even if the district court’s claim construction applied in this
`
`proceeding, Boland teaches the “generating” element, because it discloses high
`
`resolution and low resolution video data generated in parallel. (Paper 1, 35-36;
`
`IPR2015-01080, Paper 38, 14). Thus, the district court’s claim construction order
`
`is irrelevant to the obviousness issues before the Board on remand, and Patent
`
`Owner’s argument to the contrary should be rejected.
