`PETITIONERS’ OBJECTIONS TO

`
`
`
`
`1 Breckenridge Pharmaceutical, Inc. was joined as a party to this proceeding via a

`U.S. Patent No. 5,665,772
`Pursuant to the Board’s January 17, 2017 Order, and after a meet and confer
`
`held on January 30, 2017, Petitioners hereby file their objections to Patent Owner’s
`
`demonstratives on the grounds set forth below.
`
`I.
`
`Slide 6
`A. New argument
`Petitioners object to this slide as presenting new argument regarding
`
`enthalpy because it goes beyond Patent Owner’s argument at POR 25, the only
`
`page mentioning enthalpy.
`
`
`
`(PO Slide 6)
`
`B. Reliance on improper observation
`Petitioners’ further object to Patent Owner’s reliance on Ex. 2222 at 113:19-
`
`115:6 because it was cited only in an improper observation as explained in
`
`Petitioners’ response to Patent Owner’s Observations 3-4 (impermissibly
`
`characterizes testimony, and with similar observations, adds three pages of new
`
`argument) (Paper 58).
`
`(PO Slide 6).

`
`identified in the motion for observations, but was at best included with an improper
`
`observation explained in Petitioners’ response to Patent Owner’s Observations 4-5
`
`(impermissibly characterizes testimony, and with similar observations, adds three
`
`pages of new argument). Patent Owner’s Observations 4-5.
