`
`• The term “automatically” does not preclude the

`preclusion would be:
`− Inconsistent with the specification;
`− Inconsistent with the prosecution history; and
`− Inconsistent with the plain and ordinary meaning.

`° During prosecution, the applicant argued that Lapuyade does not
`disclose “automatically changing” because a user selects a
`
`button for the purpose of changing the displayed time.
`
`Lapuyade teaches a time zone management system for a date book like application.
`
`Although—
`

`
`

`Graham – “Automatically Changing” / “Displaying”
`
`• PO does not dispute that Graham discloses:
`
`− The “automatically changing” and “displaying”
`limitations under Petitioner’s plain and ordinary
`meaning of these limitations; and
`
`− The “displaying” limitation under either Petitioner’s
`plain and ordinary meaning of “automatically” or the
`Board’s interpretation where “other prior operations
`can be manually initiated,” if “automatically”
`modifies “displaying.”

`Graham – “Automatically Changing” / “Displaying”
`
`• The only dispute is whether Graham discloses the
`“automatically changing” and “displaying” limitations
`under PO’s interpretation—it does.
`
`• Graham discloses “first time information” as (i) an
`elapsed time, and/or (ii) a color that indicates age.
`
`• Graham discloses “automatically changing” the “first
`time information” and automatically “displaying”
`“second time information” instead of the first time
`information.

`
`discloses that manually selecting a given message will illuminate the input key

`1.
`
`A method providing ...n output on at least one of a first electronic device
`
`(4) and a second electroni:: device (104), the first electmnic device being
`
`adapted to be in electronic :ommunication with the second electronic device,
`
`the method comprising:
`
`determining that a film messaging communicati0n (68) has occurred at a
`
`first time between the first (It vice and the second device; and,
`
`outputting a first indication that is representative of at least a portion of
`
`the first messaging communication;
`
`the method being characterised by further comprising:
`
`—since the
`
`fust time substantially without further communication between the first device
`
`and the second device; and,

`

`

`Graham — Statements During Foreign Prosecution
`
`- Patent Owner explained that Graham’s (D1)

`Of particular relevance here is the
`fact that in D1,— regardless of whether any

`limitations under PO’s interpretation—they do.
`
`• Toshio describes displaying a message on a day after
`receipt with a time and the number of days elapsed
`(e.g., “13:20:27; 1 day ago”).
`
`• The number of days elapsed is updated automatically
`and displayed automatically when the date changes.

`Toshio Combinations — “Automatically Changing” / “Displaying”
`
`° Toshio’s reference to displaying data according to the
`“user’s need” does not detract from these teachings.
`
`
`
`Toshio (Ex. 1007) at 230
`
`° Nor does Toshio’s reference to displaying time
`information when the “message is read.”
`
`Therefore. according to the above-mentioned working example. the number of days elapsed is displayed on the
`display unit lla together with an incoming message when the incoming message is read. so it is possible to prevent
`a user from being confused even in the case of multiple incoming messages received over several days. allowing a
`
`user to easily manage the incoming messages.
