`Introduction
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c), Patent Owner, Chrimar Systems, Inc.,
`
`(“Chrimar”), moves to exclude Petitioners’ Juniper Networks Inc., Ruckus
`
`Wireless, Inc., Brocade Communication Systems, Inc. and Netgear, Inc.
`
`(collectively referred to as “Petitioners”) Exhibits 1021 to 1044 (the “Challenged
`
`Exhibits”).
`
`II. Argument
`
`A. The Board should exclude new evidence and new arguments,
`which Petitioners should have included in their original
`Petition
`
`Petitioners’ Reply Brief and accompanying declaration (Ex. 1046) are
`
`riddled with new evidence not previously disclosed in the original Petition. That
`
`new evidence and the accompanying arguments relying on it are improper and
`
`should be excluded. Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc. v. Illumina Cambridge Ltd., 821
`
`F.3d 1359, 1369-70 (Fed. Cir. 2016); Nestlé Purina PetCare Co. v. Oil-Dri Corp.
`
`of Am., IPR2015-00737, Paper No. 37 at 24 (PTAB June 20, 2016) (refusing to
`
`consider new evidence proffered in Reply that Petition “could have presented”
`
`with Petition); Toshiba Corp. v. Optical Devices, LLC, IPR2014-01447, Paper No.
`
`34 at 44-47 (PTAB Mar. 9, 2016) (granting motion to exclude where Petitioner
`
`submitted exhibits for the first time in Reply Brief without authorization); Corning
`
`Inc. v. DSM IP Assets B.V., IPR2013-00052, Paper No. 88 at 16 (PTAB May 1,
`

`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`2014) (declining to consider testing results presented in a Reply that purported to
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`correct the testing described in the petition). Indeed, Exhibits 1021-1043 were not
`
`filed, as provided for by statute, under 37 C.F.R. § 42.123(b) as “supplemental
`
`information,” but instead constitute improper submissions of new evidence outside
`
`the context of 37 C.F.R. § 42.123 or 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b), and therefore warrant
`
`exclusion. Toshiba Corp., IPR2014-01447, Paper No. 34 at 45 (PTAB Mar. 9,
`
`2016); see also Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,767
`
`(Aug. 14, 2012) (“[A] reply that . . . belatedly presents evidence will not be
`
`considered and may be returned.”). The Federal Circuit has also found new
`
`evidence in a Reply Brief to be improper. See Intelligent Bio-Systems, Inc., 821
`
`F.3d at 1366; Ariosa Diagnostics v. Verinata Health, Inc., 805 F.3d 1359, 1367-68
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2015). Chrimar addresses the improper nature of Petitioners’ new
`
`evidence submissions in detail below.
`
`1.
`
`Petitioners’ new exhibits used to bolster Petitioners’
`obviousness analysis are untimely and should be
`excluded
`
`Petitioners’ Reply Brief and supporting reply declaration (Ex. 1046) are
`
`littered with new exhibits as Petitioners attempt to correct critical deficiencies in
`
`the original Petition. Such post-Petition additions to the exhibits are improper and
`
`should be excluded. Toshiba Corp., IPR2014-01447, Paper No. 34 at 44-47;
`
`Corning Inc., IPR2013-00052, Paper No. 88 at 16, Intelligent Bio-Systems, 821

`
`
`For example, Petitioners rely on a slew of new patent references (Exs. 1025-
`
`1028)—which were not part of any of Petitioners’ original grounds and were not
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`submitted with the original Petition—as evidence to support Petitioners’ arguments
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`that “Ethernet Phantom Power Is Prior Art” and “Chrimar Did Not Invent or
`
`Enable Ethernet Phantom Power.” (Reply Br. at 5-6.) Petitioners raised precisely
`
`the same arguments in their Petition, but without citing any evidence (other than
`
`“Ground 1” and “Ground 2”). (Pet. at 4.) If Petitioners wanted to support those
`
`arguments with Exs. 1025-1028, they should have done so in the Petition—not
`
`waited to serve the exhibits only after Chrimar had filed its Patent Owner’s
`
`Response and no longer had the ability to respond. For example, from the lawsuits,
`
`Petitioners were aware that Chrimar would “swear behind” the De Nicolo patents
`
`(Exs. 1027-1028) (see, e.g., IPR2016-00569, Paper 31 at 17-29), and Chrimar
`
`would have again done so had those patents been cited in the Petition. By
`
`withholding them until the Reply, Petitioners prevented Chrimar from doing so.
`
`Further, Petitioners cite for the first time to Exhibits 1021-1024, 1029, and
`
`1043 to bolster their argument that a POSITA would know how to implement Bob
`
`Smith Terminations and Common Mode Chokes in Petitioners’ proposed
`
`combinations. (Reply Br. at 3-4.) But again, Petitioners are late. The Petition
`
`expressly states, “The '760 patent explains that it is directed to equipment
`
`networked over ‘pre-existing wiring or cables that connect pieces of networked
`
`computer equipment to a network’” and “[t]he equipment would be connected over
`
`‘conventional multi-wire cables that include a plurality of transmit and receive
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`data communication links.’” (Pet. at 3, emphasis in Petition.) Furthermore,
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`Petitioner’s expert stated, “a [POSITA] would be familiar with . . . the behavior of
`
`data communications products available on the market.” (Ex. 1002, Crayford ¶ 50.)
`
`Petitioners also recognized, “At the time of the invention, conserving bandwidth
`
`was a known consideration and design motivation in the prior art” (Pet. at 54) and
`
`that proper terminations (e.g., BSTs and CMCs) were essential to achieving that
`
`requirement. (See e.g., Ex 1029 at 1:8-12, 1:65-2:2, 2:52-58.) Nevertheless,
`
`Petitioners failed to address the issue of applying blind power to the pre-existing
`
`Ethernet terminations (BST/CMS) when they submitted their original Petition.
`
`Petitioners have submitted a new IEEE specification for 802.9, adding
`
`Exhibit 1032 relying on that exhibit in Mr. Crayford’s reply declaration. (See e.g.,
`
`Ex. 1046, ¶¶ 48, 67-68, 80.) The Petition referenced isoEthernet several times in its
`
`discussion of the Hunter reference. (Pet. at 8, 26, 27.) Petitioners knew that they
`
`needed to include IEEE specifications if they wanted to rely on the disclosures in
`
`the specifications—the IEEE 802.3 specifications are an essential part of Ground 2.
`
`But for Ground 1, the Petition does not cite to or rely on the IEEE 802.9
`
`specification. Again, if Petitioners wanted this evidence in the record, they should
`
`included it in the original Petition.
`
`Finally, Petitioners have submitted 1036-1042 on the issue of “expert
`
`skepticism,” one of the secondary considerations relevant to obviousness.
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`Petitioners were aware that it was their burden to address skepticism—Crayford’s
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`first declaration identifies, “expressions of surprise or skepticism by experts and
`
`those skilled in the art at the making of the invention” as one of the “factors known
`
`as ‘secondary considerations.’” (Ex. 1002, ¶ 30.) But Petitioners, who have the
`
`burden, did not address the skepticism expressed by the 802.3 committee to
`
`applying power to the data-carrying wires in an Ethernet system. The Petition
`
`should have addressed the skepticism regarding phantom powering over Ethernet
`
`and should have attempted to rebut that skepticism. Adding the exhibits in reply,
`
`when Chrimar can no longer respond, was too late.
`
`Accordingly, Exhibits 1021-1032 and 1036-1043, as well as the portions of
`
`the Crayford Reply Declaration (Ex. 1046) that rely on those exhibits, should be
`
`excluded.
`
`2.
`
`Petitioners’ new exhibits used to supplement their
`Grounds of the original Petition are untimely and
`should be excluded
`
`The purpose of a reply brief is to respond to arguments and evidence
`
`provided by the Patent Owner—not to raise additional evidence that could have
`
`been presented earlier. See Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg.
`
`48,756, 48,767 (Aug. 14, 2012) (“[A] reply that raises a new issue or belatedly
`
`presents evidence will not be considered and may be returned. The Board will not
`
`attempt to sort proper from improper portions of the reply. Examples of indications
`
`6
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`that a new issue has been raised in a reply include . . . new evidence that could
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`have been presented in a prior filing.”). However, Petitioners try to do just that by
`
`supplementing their arguments with untimely exhibits.
`
`Indeed, Petitioners’ Reply Brief and Reply Declaration (Ex. 1046) rely on
`
`Exhibits 1032-1035, none of which were submitted with the Petition, and all of
`
`which are offered, not to respond to Chrimar’s response, but to cover omissions in
`
`Petitioners’ original arguments. For example, Exhibit 1032—the IEEE 802.9
`
`standard—is being used by Petitioners to fix Petitioners’ omission of details
`
`regaring isoEthernet, which Petitioners contend Hunter (Ex. 1003) incorporates
`
`when it refers to isoEthernet®. (Reply Br. at 11-12.) Clearly, this is information
`
`that could have been presented in Petitioners’ original Petition—just as the IEEE
`
`802.3 standards were. Petitioners’ citation to Exhibit 1035 is likewise improper.
`
`Petitioners rely on Exhibit 1035 to supplement their claim that the Bloch-Huizinga-
`
`IEEE combination teaches the powered-off limitations. (Reply Br. at 27-28, 28
`
`n.8.)
`
`However, Petitioners’ supplemental evidence is late. Indeed, Petitioners had
`
`the burden to fully argue invalidity in their Petition—not belatedly in a Reply. See
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.22(a) (“Each petition . . . must include . . . [a] full statement of the
`
`reasons for the relief requested, including a detailed explanation of the evidence
`
`including material facts” (emphasis added)); 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(3) (requiring that
`
`7
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`Petition “identifies, in writing and with particularity, each claim challenged, the
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`grounds on which the challenge to each claim is based, and the evidence that
`
`supports the grounds for the challenge to each claim”); MaxLinear, Inc. v. Cresta
`
`Tech. Corp., IPR2015-00594, Paper No. 90 at 28-30 (PTAB Aug. 15, 2016)
`
`(refusing to consider Petitioner’s new argument where Petitioner knew of potential
`
`issue but chose not to assert argument in Petition, because considering argument
`
`added only in Reply would “deprive Patent Owner of due process”, as “Patent
`
`Owner would have chosen a different response and the evidence in this proceeding
`
`would have developed differently” had argument been raised initially); Nestlé
`
`Purina PetCare Co. v. Oil-Dri Corp. of Am., IPR2015-00737, Paper No. 37 at 24
`
`(PTAB June 20, 2016) (refusing to consider Petitioner’s new argument as to why
`
`combination of references rendered claim obvious where “Petitioner could have
`
`presented this argument and evidence with the Petition, and has not contended or
`
`offered any evidence to show otherwise” and because considering new arguments
`
`and evidence “would not serve the interests of justice”). Here, Petitioners
`
`improperly waited to supplement evidence on their isoEthernet and powered-off
`
`theories until after Chrimar’s response and with it the ability to respond had lapsed.
`
`Exhibits 1032 and 1035 should be excluded.
`
`Exhibit 1033 is a dictionary that Petitioners use in Reply to assert a new
`
`claim construction argument for the phrase “terminal equipment.” (Reply at 13.)

`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`The Petition does not identify “terminal equipment” as a term that required
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`construction. (Pet. at 5-7.) It is untimely for Petitioners to raise a new claim
`
`construction argument in their Reply, when Chrimar cannot respond.
`
`Exhibit 1034 is improper because it is a drawing Dr. Madisetti, Chrimar’s
`
`expert, was forced to draw under duress in response to questions far outside the
`
`scope of his declaration. (Ex. 1020 at 307:14-316:19.) “For cross-examination
`
`testimony, the scope of the examination is limited to the scope of the direct
`
`testimony.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.53, emphasis added. Exhibit 1034 is Dr. Madisetti’s
`
`attempt to show where the “terminal equipment” is located in Fig. 4 of the Chrimar
`
`patents. Dr. Madisetti offered no direct testimony on that issue, so the questioning
`
`and instructions by Petitioners’ counsel were improper and repeatedly objected to.
`
`(Ex. 1020 at 307:14-316:19.) Furthermore, Dr. Madisetti testified that the request
`
`to draw the figure was outside the scope of his declaration. (See, e.g., Ex. 1020 at
`
`307:14-18.) Because Petitioner’s efforts to obtain Ex. 1034 were improper and
`
`exceeded the scope of cross-examination, Dr. Madisetti’s testimony and drawing
`
`must be excluded.
`
`Accordingly, Exhibits 1032-1035, as well as the portions of the Reply Brief
`
`and the Crayford Reply Declaration (Ex. 1046) that rely on those exhibits, should
`
`be excluded.

`
`B.
`
`Exhibits 1021-1029, 1031, and 1035 are inadmissible hearsay
`
`In their Reply Brief, Petitioners rely on newly proffered Exhibits 1021-1029,
`
`1031, and 1035 as truthful, accurate depictions of the state of the art at particular
`
`times. Critically, this reliance on the dates, and content, of each Exhibit is
`
`inadmissible hearsay. E.g., ServiceNow, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., IPR2015-
`
`00716, Paper No. 12 at 16 (PTAB Aug. 26, 2015) (finding dates and indicia of
`
`availability on exhibits to be inadmissible hearsay to the extent that Petitioner
`
`relied on same for truth of that information); Apple, Inc. v. DSS Tech. Mgmt., Inc.,
`
`IPR2015-00369, Paper No. 14 at 6 (PTAB Aug. 12, 2015) (finding date to be
`
`inadmissible hearsay to the extent relied upon for truth of date of availability, even
`
`where stamped by library); Standard Innovations Corp. v. Lelo, Inc., IPR2014-
`
`00148, Paper No. 41 at 13-18 (PTAB Apr. 23, 2015) (finding date on exhibit to be
`
`inadmissible hearsay); see also Fed. R. Evid. 801, 802 (hearsay); In re Epstein, 32
`
`F.3d 1559, 1565 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (holding that under Federal Rules of Evidence,
`
`dates on publications are generally hearsay as out-of-court written assertions
`
`offered to prove the truth of availability of art at a particular date). Despite these
`
`clear hearsay deficiencies, Petitioners have made no attempt to establish any
`
`hearsay exclusion or exception under Fed. R. Evid. 803 for any of Exhibits 1021-
`
`1029, 1031 and 1035.

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`For example, Petitioners rely on Exhibits 1021-1024 to argue that a person
`
`having ordinary skill in the art would know in April 1998 “that CMCs were
`
`available that would not saturate from the application of power” and about “ways
`
`to satisfy the territorial FCC emissions regulations without BSTs or CMCs.”
`
`(Reply Br. at 3-4.) The second Crayford Declaration asserts that Exhibit 1025
`
`shows that a person having ordinary skill in the art would, in April 1998,
`
`“understand that . . . center tapped inductors essentially form the auto-
`
`transformers.” (Ex. 1046 [Crayford-2], ¶ 25.) The declaration also relies on
`
`Exhibits 1025-1028 to argue that “Ethernet phantom power was well known by
`
`April 1998.” (Id., ¶¶ 28, 31, 32.) Petitioners rely on Exhibit 1029 to assert the
`
`relevance of BSTs in 1994. (Id., ¶ 13.)
`
`Moreover, Petitioners rely on Exhibit 1031 to assert that “[i]n April 1998,
`
`there were Cat-3 and Cat-5 cables with only 2 pairs, which were both used for
`
`data” and that a “POSITA would not assume that an RJ-45 connector with 8 pins
`
`necessarily has 8 wires (4 pairs) connected.” (Reply Br. at 10.) Likewise,
`
`Petitioners rely on the date from Exhibit 1035 for the assertion that a “POSITA in
`
`April 1998 understood, for example, that cordless telephone equipment was in a
`
`‘powered off’ state, although the display, charger, radio module, and other
`
`components of such equipment received power to perform their functions, until the
`
`11
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01399
`Patent No.: 8,902,760
`
`
`‘ON/OFF’ button was pressed to ‘ON’ to answer a ringing telephone.” (Reply Br.
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0110IPR1
`
`at 28 n.8.)
`
`Although Petitioners rely on these exhibits for the truth of the matter being
`
`asserted, Petitioners have made no attempt to show that they are not hearsay.
`
`Accordingly, the extent that Petitioners rely—directly or through their expert—on
`
`these Exhibits as a truthful depiction of the state of the art at a particular time, or
`
`for the truth of any other matters asserted with respect to the Exhibits, Chrimar
`
`moves to exclude these Exhibits as hearsay.
`
`III. Conclusion
`
`For the reasons set forth above, Chrimar respectfully requests that the Board
`
`exclude the Challenged Exhibits, and the portions of the Reply Brief and
`
`Crayford’s reply declaration (Ex. 1046) that rely on the Challenged Exhibits.
`
`Chrimar also respectfully requests that the Board preclude Petitioners from using
`
`the Challenged Exhibits or the reliant portions of the Reply Brief and second
`
`Crayford declaration at any hearing or in any paper in this proceeding.
