In the second part of our framework, we consider (i) the extent to which the asserted art was evaluated during examination, including whether the prior art was the basis for rejection; (ii) whether Petitioner has pointed out sufficiently how the Examiner erred in evaluating the asserted prior art; and (iii) the extent to which additional evidence and facts presented in the Petition warrant reconsideration of the prior art.

“and Nobuyuki[] are the same or substantially the same as art previously considered by the Office, in either original prosecution or during reexamination.” Prelim. Resp. 30. Patent Owner asserts that the first part of the Advanced Bionics two-part framework for determining if denial of institution under § 325(d) is proper is satisfied. We agree, based on our analysis above. Specifically, we determine that under Becton, Dickinson factors (a), (b), and (d), the same or substantially the same art or arguments previously were presented to the Office. Turning to the second part of the Advanced Bionics framework, Petitioner also argues that the “Examiner erred in a manner material to patentability by adopting a narrow construction of ‘one or more clamps variably positionable on the dual track rail and footing grid’ that is inconsistent with the term’s plain and ordinary meaning.” Pet. 19. We disagree. We discussed the Board’s appeal decision in the previous section of this Decision. The Board affirmed the entirety of the RAN decision by the Reexamination Examiner, including construction of the phrase Petitioner argues was construed in error. We are not persuaded that Petitioner has met its burden to show error.

“feature weights because Mukherjee instead “only computes pattern weights, expressed as 𝛼𝛼s.” Prelim Resp. 25. We agree with Patent Owner that Petitioner has not adequately bridged the gap between the claimed feature weight and Mukherjee’s pattern weight. Although Petitioner’s expert contends that feature weight and pattern weight “are [] equivalent,” he implicitly concedes they are not in his additional assertion that they are “related and can be derived from one another.” See Ex. 1003 ¶ 92 n.14. We are also not persuaded by Petitioner’s argument that “a relationship exists between feature weight vectors, 𝒘𝒘, and pattern weight vectors, 𝜶𝜶, such that one can be mathematically derived and calculated from the other.” Pet. 30. Even if correct, Petitioner’s argument falls short because Petitioner offers no explanation as to why a skilled artisan would have done so. As Patent Owner notes, “a conclusion of obviousness is not dependent upon what a person of ordinary skill in the art could do, but rather what the hypothetical individual would do, and there was no motivation for Mukherjee or any person of ordinary skill in the art to [compute feature weights].” Prelim. Resp. 26. In short, we find that Petitioner has not produced the required “articulated reasoning with some rational underpinning to support the legal conclusion of obviousness.” See KSR Int’l Co. v. Teleflex Inc., 550 U.S. 398, 418 (2007).

“A. Level of Skill in the Art Petitioner contends a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged invention of the ’483 patent (a “POSITA”) would have had “at least a Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or the equivalent with three years of experience in machine learning and data-analysis techniques.” Pet. 19 (citing Ex. 1003 ¶ 15). Further, Petitioner asserts that “[a]dditional education could substitute for professional experience, and vice versa.” Id. Patent Owner does not contest that a skilled artisan would have this kind of background knowledge and experience; nor does Patent Owner suggest that Petitioner’s proposed level of skill leads to an improper understanding of the prior art or an improper patentability analysis. See generally Prelim. Resp. At this stage in the proceeding, we adopt Petitioner’s articulation of the level of ordinary skill in the art, which is supported by Dr. Evgeniou’s testimony and appears commensurate with the level of ordinary skill as reflected in the asserted prior art and the ’483 patent.” slip op. at 8

In particular, Ross explains that “[t]he user may interact with the secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content and then return his view back to the movie wherein the movie has been adjusted to reflect the user’s interaction with the secondary, tertiary, etc., virtual reality content.” Id. at 7:41–45. Ross explains further that “while a user views primary virtual reality content, system 10 may be configured to display a ‘pop-up’ cue indicating that additional virtual reality content (e.g., additional characters) is available in a different (e.g., secondary, tertiary, etc.) content area.” Id. at 7:46–50. Thus, we understand Ross to disclose a system wherein a user can turn their gaze from a primary area to a secondary, tertiary, etc., area to view content related to the content in the primary area. See Ross, 7:21–33 (“Responsive to the user turning his view from the primary virtual reality content . . . a sensory cue comprising . . . secondary, tertiary, etc., . . . may be displayed to the user.”). Further, we understand Ross to disclose a system wherein the user’s focus on an item in the primary area may activate a “popup” cue in the primary area directing the user to additional virtual reality content in a secondary, tertiary, etc., area. See id. at 7:46–50 (“[W]hile a user views primary virtual reality content, system 10 may be configured to display a ‘pop-up’ cue indicating that additional virtual reality content . . . is available in a different (e.g., secondary, tertiary, etc.) content area.”). We do not, however, understand Ross’ “pop-up” cue to be activated in a secondary, tertiary, etc. area based on the user’s gaze position moving to the second area from the first area as required by claims 1, 8, and 9. See id. Therefore, because Ross describes displaying a “pop-up” cue while a user is viewing primary virtual reality content (see Ross, 7:46–50), Petitioner does not show persuasively that Ross discloses that “a gaze position moving to the second area from the first area” is an “information providing condition.” Furthermore, Petitioner’s cited testimonial evidence does not explain sufficiently how Ross discloses the recited “information providing condition.” See Ex. 1003 ¶ 73. For the reasons above, Petitioner does not show adequately that Ross discloses an “information providing condition [that] is a condition of a gaze position moving to the second area from the first area.”” slip op. at 18

“Petitioner did not argue, in the Petition, that FIPA97 was released as individual parts. Petitioner’s Rehearing Request (page 8) cites to the Petition at page 20 and Exhibit 1054. Page 20 of the Petition, however, contains Petitioner’s argument that FIPA97 was made publicly available as a single document, as discussed above. It does not include any argument or suggestion that FIPA97 was released as individual parts. Additionally, Exhibit 1054 is not cited on page 20 of the Petition in the discussion of FIPA97 nor does it appear that Exhibit 1054 was cited anywhere in the Petition. Thus, because Petitioner did not argue, in the Petition, that FIPA97 was released as individual parts, we could not have overlooked that argument. Petitioner’s contention of error in our determination that FIPA97 was involved during examination of the ’128 patent application is premised upon finding that FIPA97 existed as individual parts.
