`
`PETITIONER’S RESPONSES TO PATENT
`OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTION NO. 1 RELATING TO WANG
`(EXHIBIT 1055)
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1055 under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, 801 and
`
`802, contending that its lacks relevance and that it is “[h]earsay and hearsay within
`
`hearsay.”
`
`PETITIONER’S RESPONSE
`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections to Wang and maintains
`
`that Wang should be admissible in these proceedings because is not inadmissible
`
`hearsay. See Fed. R. Evid. 801, 803, 807. Further, Petitioner disagrees with Patent
`
`Owner’s objections that Wang is not relevant, as it is properly cited to show the
`
`state of the art at or around the time of the purported invention. Petitioner cites to
`
`Wang, a review of risk associated with intravenous iron products in the Journal of
`
`the American Medical Association, as evidence to refute statements made by
`
`Patent Owner that iron dextran was recalled from the market. Wang reports that
`
`iron dextran was regularly used at high doses around the filing date of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 7,754,702 (“the ‘702 patent”) and at least through 2013. See Paper 34 at pp.
`
`21-23. Wang is not relied upon to make Petitioner’s prima facie case. Moreover,

`Active 26663846.2

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent No. 7,754,702
`
`IPR2015-01490
`
`
`
`the fact that Wang was published after the priority date of the ‘702 patent is
`
`immaterial. See Liberty Mutual v. Progressive Casualty Insurance, CBM2012-
`
`00002, slip op. at 64 (PTAB January 23, 2014) (Paper 66) (“It is well settled that
`
`references that have publication dates after the critical date may be cited to show
`
`the state of the art at or around the time of the invention.” (citing Eli Lilly and Co.
`
`v. Barr Labs., Inc., 251 F.3d 955, 969-70 (Fed. Cir. 2001))).
`
`Petitioner reserves the right to respond further to Patent Owner’s objections
`
`in the event that Patent Owner seeks to exclude Wang and/or to the extent the
`
`Patent Owner seeks to challenge any portions of Wang in any other manner.
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTION NO. 2 RELATING TO THE
`SUPPLEMENTARY CONTENT OF WANG (EXHIBIT 1056)
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1056 under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, 801 and
`
`802, contending that its lacks relevance and that it is “[h]earsay and hearsay within
`
`hearsay.”
`
`PETITIONER’S RESPONSE
`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections to the Exhibit 1056 and
`
`maintains that Exhibit 1056 should be admissible in these proceedings because is
`
`not inadmissible hearsay. See Fed. R. Evid. 801, 803, 807. Further, Petitioner
`
`disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections that Exhibit 1056 is not relevant, as it
`
`properly cited to show the state of the art at or around the time of the purported
`
`Active 26663846.2

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent No. 7,754,702
`

`
`
`
`invention. Exhibit 1056 is the supplemental content for Wang (Exhibit 1055) and
`
`is cited by the Petitioner as further evidence that although iron dextran has been
`
`administered at high doses only 0.0307 percent of the 68,305 patients discussed in
`
`Wang experienced anaphylaxis. See Paper 34 at p. 21. Exhibit 1056 is not relied
`
`upon to make Petitioner’s prima facie case. Moreover, the fact that Exhibit 1056
`
`was published after the priority date of the ‘702 patent is immaterial. See Liberty
`
`Mutual v. Progressive Casualty Insurance, CBM2012-00002, slip op. at 64 (PTAB
`
`January 23, 2014) (Paper 66) (“It is well settled that references that have
`
`publication dates after the critical date may be cited to show the state of the art at
`
`or around the time of the invention.” (citing Eli Lilly and Co. v. Barr Labs., Inc.,
`
`251 F.3d 955, 969-70 (Fed. Cir. 2001))).
`
`
`
`Petitioner reserves the right to respond further to Patent Owner’s objections
`
`in the event that Patent Owner seeks to exclude Exhibit 1056 and/or to the extent
`
`the Patent Owner seeks to challenge any portions of Exhibit 1056 in any other
`
`manner.
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTION NO. 3 RELATING TO THE KEATING
`(EXHIBIT 1057)
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1057 under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, 801 and
`
`802 contending that its lacks relevance and that it is hearsay.

`
`
`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections to Exhibit 1057 and
`
`maintains that it should be admissible in these proceedings because is not
`
`inadmissible hearsay. See Fed. R. Evid. 801, 803, 807. Further, Petitioner
`
`disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections that Exhibit 1057 is not relevant, as it is
`
`properly cited to show the state of the art at or around the time of the purported
`
`invention. Petitioner cites to Exhibit 1057 as evidence that the Beshara reference
`
`discloses the properties of VIT-45. See Paper 34 at p. 24. Exhibit 1057 is offered
`
`to show that while the title of Beshara indicates that it relates to polymaltose,
`
`Beshara discloses the properties of ferric carboxymaltose. Id. As such, while
`
`Exhibit 1057 is cited to show the state of the art at or around the time of the
`
`invention, it is not relied upon to make Petitioner’s prima facie case.
`
`Petitioner reserves the right to respond further to Patent Owner’s objections

`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTION NO. 4 RELATING TO THE
`PRESENTATION FROM THE GALENICA GROUP (EXHIBIT 1059)
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1059 under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, 801,

`802 and 901 contending that its lacks relevance, that it is hearsay and that it lacks
`
`authentication.

`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections to the Exhibit 1059 and
`
`maintains that Exhibit 1059 should be admissible in these proceedings because is
`
`not inadmissible hearsay. See Fed. R. Evid. 801, 803, 807. Further, Petitioner
`
`disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections that Exhibit 1059 is not relevant, as it is
`
`properly cited to show the state of the art at or around the time of the purported
`
`invention. Petitioner cites to Exhibit 1059 to refute statements made by Patent
`
`Owner that iron dextran was recalled from the market. Exhibit 1059 is evidence
`
`that sales of an iron dextran product, InFed®, have remained steady from August
`
`2013 to December 2015, demonstrating that iron dextran products are still
`
`currently used. See Paper 34 at p. 21. Exhibit 1059 is not relied upon to make
`
`Petitioner’s prima facie case. Moreover, the fact that Exhibit 1059 was published
`
`after the priority date of the ‘702 patent is immaterial. See Liberty Mutual v.
`
`Progressive Casualty Insurance, CBM2012-00002, slip op. at 64 (PTAB January

`
`of the invention.” (citing Eli Lilly and Co. v. Barr Labs., Inc., 251 F.3d 955, 969-
`
`70 (Fed. Cir. 2001))).
`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections that Exhibit 1059 lacks
`

`
`not pointed to any particular defects in the contents of Exhibit 1059.
`
`Petitioner reserves the right to respond further to Patent Owner’s objections
`
`in the event that Patent Owner seeks to exclude Exhibit 1059 and/or to the extent

`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTION NO. 5 RELATING TO THE CHARLES
`RIVER MONOGRAPH FOR C57BL/6 MICE (EXHIBIT 1060)
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1060 under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, 801,
`
`802 and 901 contending that its lacks relevance, that it is hearsay and that it lacks
`
`authentication.
`
`PETITIONER’S RESPONSE
`
`Petitioner disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections to Exhibit 1060 and
`
`maintains that it should be admissible in these proceedings because is not
`
`inadmissible hearsay. See Fed. R. Evid. 801, 803, 807. Further, Petitioner
`
`disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections that Exhibit 1060 is not relevant, as it is
`
`properly cited to show the state of the art at or around the time of the purported
`
`invention. Petitioner cites to Exhibit 1060 as evidence of the weight of a mouse.
`
`See Paper 34 at p. 7. Petitioner has argued that because the proposed substitute
`
`claims require administration of at least 0.6 grams of iron as a single unit dose but

`
`
`
`do not specify the species of the subject being treated, they are not enabled by the
`
`specification because the recited amount would have different consequences on
`
`different species. See id. at pp. 6-7. Although it is self-evident that different
`
`species of animals can have vastly different weights, Exhibit 1060 is cited as
`
`further evidence of the weight of one species, a mouse, to illustrate that the
`
`administration of at least 0.6 grams of iron as a single unit dose to a mouse would
`
`have different consequences than the administration of the same dose to a larger
`
`animal such as an elephant. See id. at p. 7. As such, while Exhibit 1060 is cited to
`
`show the state of the art at or around the time of the invention, it is not relied upon
`
`to make Petitioner’s prima facie case. Moreover, the fact that Exhibit 1060 was
`
`published after the priority date of the ‘702 patent is immaterial. See Liberty

`

`
`complex supplementation is used in veterinary medicine, and that prior to the filing
`
`date of the ‘702 patent, iron dextran was administered subcutaneously to day-old
`
`piglets. See Paper 34 at p. 7. Exhibit 1062 is provided to illustrate that the

`
`prior to the filing date of the ‘702 patent. Id. While Exhibit 1062 is cited to show

`
`disagrees with Patent Owner’s objections that Exhibit 1063 is not relevant, since it
`
`is properly cited to refute statements made by the Patent Owner that iron dextran
`
`was recalled from the market. Exhibit 1063 is provided as evidence that only a
`
