`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
` JUDGE HARLOW: This is a conference
`call in IPR 2016-00006, SteadyMed versus
`United Therapeutic. The purpose of
`today's call is to discuss the SteadyMed
`Request for Authorization to file a Motion
`to Request Action by the Board with regard
`to two new patents that recently issued
`from continuing applications of the '393
`patent.
` I understand that the parties have
`been introducing themselves as they've
`signed on to the call, but for the benefit
`of the court reporter, let's go ahead and
`take roll, starting with the Petitioner.
` Will counsel please introduce
`yourselves, identify anyone else who is
`present for your side, and then Patent
`Owner can proceed after that.
` MR. POLLACK: Thank you, Your Honor.
`This is Stuart Pollack on behalf of the
`Petitioner, SteadyMed. I'm joined by my
`colleague, Lisa Haile, from the same law
`firm, DLA Piper.

`Patent Owner, this is Steve Maebius with
`Foley Lardner, and I'm here with George
`Quillin; and also Shaun Snader from United
`Therapeutics Corporation is on the line.
` JUDGE HARLOW: Thank you.
` Turning to the substance of our call
`today, SteadyMed appears to seek action by
`the Board relating to the estoppel
`provisions of 37 C.F.R.
`Section 42.7(d)(3).
` Is that a fair representation,
`Mr. Pollack?
` MR. POLLACK: Yes, Your Honor.
` JUDGE HARLOW: So when you begin to
`discuss your portion, one thing I'm
`particularly curious about is how it is
`that the estoppel provisions are
`consistent with the idea of retroactively
`canceling claims in patents that issued
`prior to the decision by the Board.
` I'd also be interested to hear your
`views on how SteadyMed's request is timely
`instead of being premature, given that the
`time to appeal the final written decision

`has not yet expired.
` With that, please feel free to
`address your request.
` MR. POLLACK: Thank you, Your Honor.
`I'm going to address your second question
`first.
` Section 42.7(d)(3) does address the
`situation we're in now where a final
`written decision has issued. And that's
`because, under Section 42.7(d)(3) and
`under the other regulations and the
`statute, the claims, in fact, are
`canceled, having a final written decision
`answer.
` Now, how do I know that? Well, the
`Supreme Court has said so. The Federal
`Circuit has said so. In addition, the
`Patent Office has said so when it
`promulgated Section 42.7(d)(3).
` Let me start with the courts first.
` In the Supreme Court decision that
`we all know and are familiar with, Cuozzo,
`Speed Tech versus Lee -- that's 136
`Supreme Court 2131 from 2016. In numerous
`
`Page 8
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
` So similarly, the Federal Circuit
`which, of course, is hearing an appeal at
`the first instance, has consistently said
`that the Board has canceled the claims
`with the final written decision. The
`examples are numerous so I'm just going to
`give a few. There's the Belden case,
`Belden v. Berk-Tek, in 2015, 805F.3d, 1064
`at 1072. And they say Belden appeals the
`cancellation of Claims 1 through 4.
` Another example -- and there's many
`of these -- Dell v. Acceleron, 818 F.3d
`1293 in 2016 at 1295, where they say we
`vacate the Board's cancellation of Claim
`20.
` And just last week, Intellectual
`Ventures II, LLC versus Commerce Bank
`Shares -- that's a decision on
`March 27th, 2017. It's 2017 WL 113
`02320. It's too early for the F.3d
`reported decision to come out. It says
`there at star 2, We affirm the Board's
`cancellation of Claims 26, 28, 30 to 33 in
`that proceeding. And then at star 4, For
`
`Page 7
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`places it states that the final written
`decision canceled Cuozzo's claims.
` For example, at page 2137 it states
`that, quote: The statute authorizes
`judicial review of a final written
`decision canceling a patent claim.
` Similarly, at 2139, ultimately, the
`Board ordered Claims 10, 14 and 17 of the
`Cuozzo patent canceled. That's obviously
`the Board's order, was the final written
`decision.
` At 2143, after arguments before a
`panel of three of the Board's
`Administrative Patent Judges, it issues --
`that is, the Board -- a final written
`decision. Perhaps more importantly, a
`decision to cancel a patent normally has
`the same effect as a district court's
`determination of a patent's invalidity.
`So the Supreme Court consistently
`describes a final written decision as the
`place where the claims are canceled
`regardless of whether there's a subsequent
`appeal.
`
`Page 9
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`the foregoing reasons --
` JUDGE HARLOW: I apologize for
`interrupting you, but we're familiar with
`these cases and we understand that a final
`written decision cancels claims.
` The question I posed is a bit
`different, and that is premised on the
`idea that the Federal Circuit can, of
`course, vacate our final written decision.
`So although it is the case that our final
`written decision serves to cancel claims,
`it's also the case UTC has the opportunity
`to appeal our decision, which could
`potentially resolve in the vacatur of our
`decision.
` And what I'm asking is, given that
`we don't know whether UTC is going to
`appeal or not, isn't it a bit premature
`just now to address your request rather
`than addressing it down the road when the
`time for UTC to file an appeal has
`expired?
` MR. POLLACK: I'll address this, as
`it says in the regulation. So the

`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`regulation says that a claim that is not
`patently distinct from a canceled claim --
`so this is a canceled claim. So the
`regulation does -- the regulation language
`does connect to that.
` As far as whether there's always a
`potential appeal, that's true in every
`lawsuit, whether it's from the Patent
`Office or from a district court.
` But looking at the facts on the
`ground now, the facts on the ground now
`are that the claims have been finally
`canceled.
` Can that be turned around on an
`appeal? Of course, whether it's through
`the Federal Circuit or ultimately to the
`Supreme Court. But as things stand now,
`there is a cancellation, and that's what
`the regulation refers to, is a -- is a
`cancellation.
` JUDGE HARLOW: We understand that,
`Counsel. Perhaps it would be more
`productive to turn back to the first
`issue, which is that SteadyMed appears to
`
`Page 12
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`the administrative and judicative --
` JUDGE HARLOW: Counsel -- Counsel,
`we also understand the APA. I would
`appreciate it if you could fast forward to
`our question, which is, again, two patents
`issued; and then those patents are not the
`same as the patent that was subject to IPR
`and which we subsequently canceled claims
`for.
` So what I'm trying to understand is
`how it is that the estoppel provisions,
`which, by their nature, would apply to
`future action, can be applied to
`retroactively cancel the claim of
`different patents that issued prior to our
`decision in the instant IPR.
` MR. POLLACK: Okay. If you look at
`the regulation, it refers to not only a
`Patent Applicant but also a Patent Owner.
`So it's addressing both applications and
`owners.
` Here we have a situation where an
`agency, within the same week or within
`even a few weeks, is issuing two decisions

`

`be asking the Board to retroactively apply
`our estoppel provisions.
` So perhaps you could address how it
`is that the estoppel provisions of
`Section 42.7(d)(3) would permit us to
`cancel issued claims, because that does
`not appear to be at all contemplated by
`the estoppel provisions.
` MR. POLLACK: Okay. Obviously I
`disagree with you on that, but the reason
`is as follows.
` Under the Administrative Procedure
`Act, an administrative agency is not
`really permitted to issue inconsistent
`opinions at the same time. That's why, in
`fact, the act was originally created back
`in the '30s.
` If you look at In Re: Zurko, Federal
`Circuit case going through the history of
`the APA, at 142 F.3d, 1447 and 1450, they
`actually point out that Congress created
`the APA because it was concerned -- and
`I'm quoting -- about the lack of
`uniformity and consistency in and among
`
`Page 13
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`that are inconsistent. And the whole
`point of this 42.7(d)(3) is to prevent
`that. That's why this regulation exists
`and needs to exist; else, one would have
`an APA -- a violation and a constitutional
`violation.
` Now, it only applies -- and I think
`this answers your question -- where the
`claims are not patentably distinct. And,
`obviously, on this call I won't be able to
`show you the claims and why they're not
`patentably distinct.
` What I will tell you about the
`claims that have recently issued is that
`not only would they violate the
`obviousness-type double-patenting bar but
`they would even violate the statutory
`double-patenting bar in one case, in the
`case that issued on March 14th.
` The claims are essentially identical
`other than that the compound formulas have
`been replaced by their names. So Claim 9
`had a formula. The new claims now just
`say "treprostinil." Claim 9 has a formula

`for benzidine trial. The new claims just
`say "benzidine trial"; and the word
`"product" has been replaced with
`"pharmaceutical composition." And the
`starting material, it says "the starting
`material must have impurities in it."
` And those are the only changes.
`Those aren't changes, at least from an
`invalidity standpoint, that are material
`or in any way different from Claim 9, the
`scope from -- at least from an invalidity
`standpoint is we're looking at the exact
`same treprostinil that's already been
`invalidated.
` And so that's why, in a case where
`there's no patentable distinction, this
`regulation is, I think, intended to ensure
`that there isn't an APA violation of
`the -- by the administrative agency where
`one side is issuing the same claims in the
`same week as another side of the agency is
`invalidating them.
` And I think that's why it refers to
`both patent applicant for applications and
`
`Page 16
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`judgment. And another Panel in the same
`IPR ruled that it only refers to an
`unappealable final decision.
` And part of the reason they held
`that way is because they noted the
`statutory language of Section 318(b),
`which says, if the Patent Trial and Appeal
`Board issued a final written decision
`under Subsection A and the time for appeal
`has expired or any appeal has terminated,
`then the director shall issue and publish
`a certificate canceling any claim of the
`patent finally determined to be
`unpatentable.
` So for all the reasons you mentioned
`earlier, we agree that this decision is
`not yet an unappealable final decision, so
`the rule shouldn't have effect for that
`reason.
` And in addition to that, as you
`pointed out, it applies to taking action
`after an adverse judgment. So even if you
`put aside this first issue, it can't have
`applied to the continuations which, as you

`owners. And I think the agency certainly
`had the authority to invalidate patents
`issuing at around the same time based on
`316(a)(4), where the Patent Office was
`given the power to control its
`proceedings, included in related cases
`like this. And I think that's where the
`power for 42.7(d)(3) derived from.
` JUDGE HARLOW: Okay. Thank you.
` MR. POLLACK: Does that make sense?
` JUDGE HARLOW: It does. We
`understand your position.
` Mr. Maebius, would you like to
`respond?
` MR. MAEBIUS: Yes, Your Honor. Let
`me point out, first of all, that this rule
`has been interpreted in IPR 2014-00346
`where the Panel found that adverse
`judgment means unappealable final
`decision; and that's at Paper No. 32,
`pages 8 to 9.
` And so this specific language is
`different from the term "final written
`decision." This rule refers to an adverse
`
`Page 17
`TELEPHONIC CONFERENCE CALL -- 4/5/17
`pointed out, have distinct claim language.
` And in addition to that, they also
`have evidence and arguments that were
`presented in the file history that weren't
`a part of the IPR file. So there's also
`further reasons why the examiner's
`decision in those cases is not
`inconsistent with the later decision.
` But we don't even think the rule
`would apply at all, because the final
`written decision hadn't come out at the
`time the examiner made these decisions.
` MR. POLLACK: Can I respond to that,
`Your Honor?
` JUDGE HARLOW: Briefly, please.
` MR. POLLACK: Yes, okay.
` MR. POLLACK: In regard to the Panel
`decision that Mr. Maebius referred to --
`and I recognize that those decisions [sic]
`made the statements that he described, the
`Patent Office itself, in promulgating this
`Rule 42.7(d)(3), in its notice and comment
`for the rule final, and that can be found
`at 77 Federal Register 46112 at page

` Section 42.80, provides that the
`office will issue and publish their
`certificate after the Board issues a final
`written decision or proceeding and the
`time for appeal has expired or any appeal
`has terminated; therefore, the concept of
`judgment should not be replaced by
`certificates.
` So what this means, in summary, is
`that the certificate in 318 is really a
`different issue. They have a -- there is
`a rule and a statute that says a
`certificate only issues after appeal.
` But the judgment is final at the
`final written decision, that those two
`things are different, and the -- you know,
`the authority, the director of that is
`what the director has stated. And that's
`what should be controlling here, not
`certain dicta in some Panel decisions.
` So the rule is that this is a final
`written decision and, therefore, the
`regulation does kick in at this time,
`because that is the adverse judgment of

`48648. It's Comment 208.
` And the Patent Office wrote, "One
`comment urged the Office to eliminate the
`concept of judgment and replace it with
`certificates and requested clarification
`as to the relationships between a
`judgment, the final written decision and
`certificates."
` And in response, the Patent Office
`stated, "The comment is not adopted. The
`concepts of judgment and certificates are
`fundamentally different." So the
`certificate referred to in 318 is
`different.
` The term "judgment" -- I'm quoting
`again from the Federal Register. The term
`"judgment" is defined as a final written
`decision by the Board -- Section 42.2 --
`and that judgment disposes of all issues
`that were or were by motion reasonably
