`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64 TO
`EVIDENCE SUBMITTED BY PAR PHARMACEUTICAL, INC.
`WITH ITS PETITION FOR INTER PARTES REVIEW
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner Novartis AG (“Novartis”)
`
`objects to the admissibility of the following exhibits filed prior to institution of the
`
`trial by Petitioner Par Pharmaceutical Inc. (“Par”) on the grounds set forth below.
`
`In this paper, a reference to “F.R.E.” means the Federal Rules of Evidence, a
`
`reference to “C.F.R.” means the Code of Federal Regulations, and “the ’224
`
`Patent” means U.S. Patent No. 9,006,224. All objections under F.R.E. 802
`
`(hearsay) apply to the extent Par relies on the exhibits identified in connection with
`
`that objection for the truth of the matters asserted therein. Novartis’s objections to
`
`Par’s exhibits are without prejudice to Novartis’s reliance on or discussion of those
`
`exhibits in Novartis’s papers in this proceeding.
`
`Novartis’s objections are as follows:
`
`Exhibits 1002, 1004, 1007, 1008, 1010, 1016, 1019, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1024,
`
`1025, 1026, 1030, 1032, 1040, 1050, 1053, 1055, 1060, 1062, 1063, 1064
`
`Novartis objects to Exhibits 1002, 1004, 1007, 1008, 1010, 1016, 1019,
`
`1020, 1021, 1022, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1030, 1032, 1040, 1050, 1053, 1055, 1060,
`
`1062, 1063, and 1064 under F.R.E. 802 (hearsay), F.R.E. 402 (relevance), and
`
`F.R.E. 403 (confusing, waste of time).
`
`Novartis further objects to Exhibit 1030 under F.R.E. 402 (relevance),
`
`F.R.E. 403 (confusing, waste of time), F.R.E. 702 (improper expert testimony), and
`
`F.R.E. 703 (bases of an expert opinion), because it is not relevant to any issue in
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`this IPR proceeding, and is not the type of document upon which a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art at the time of invention would rely.
`
`Novartis further objects to Exhibit 1060 under F.R.E. 901(authentication).
`
`No information about the source of Exhibit 1060 has been provided.
`
`Novartis further objects to Exhibit 1064 under 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.22(a)(2),
`
`42.23, 42.104(b)(2) and (b)(5), and 42.105, as this document was not published
`
`until after the November 21, 2005 priority date of the ’224 Patent and this
`
`document is not the type of document upon which a person of ordinary skill in the
`
`art at the time of invention would rely.
`
`Novartis further objects to Exhibits 1002, 1004, 1007, 1008, 1010, 1016,
`
`1019, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1030, 1032, 1040, 1050, 1053, 1055,
`
`1060, 1062, 1063, and 1064 under 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.22(a)(2), 42.23, and 42.24(c)(1)
`
`as these documents are not cited in the Petition, and therefore any attempt by Par to
`
`rely on these Exhibits to establish unpatentability (either directly by citing these
`
`Exhibits, or indirectly by citing paragraphs of Par’s expert declaration that discuss
`
`these Exhibits) will constitute an improper incorporation by reference under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3).
`
`Novartis further objects to Exhibits 1002, 1004, 1007, 1008, 1010, 1016,
`
`1019, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1030, 1032, 1040, 1050, 1053, 1055,
`
`1060, 1062, 1063, and 1064 under 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(3) and 37 C.F.R. §§
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`42.22(a)(2), 42.104(b) and 42.105 as these documents are not cited in the Petition,
`
`and therefore any attempt by Par to later rely on these Exhibits to establish
`
`unpatentability is improper and untimely.
`
`Exhibits 1001
`
`
`
`Novartis objects to Exhibit 1001 under F.R.E. 802 (hearsay) and 37 C.F.R §
`
`42.61(c) (hearsay).
`
`Exhibit 1003
`
`Novartis objects to Exhibit 1003 under F.R.E. 802 (hearsay), F.R.E. 702
`
`(improper expert testimony), F.R.E. 703 (bases for expert opinion), and 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.65 as Dr. Ratain’s scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will
`
`not help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue,
`
`the testimony is not based on sufficient facts or data, is not the product of reliable
`
`principles and methods, and the principles and methods have not been reliably
`
`applied to the facts of the case. In particular, the challenged claims concern the
`
`treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) (see, e.g., Ex. 1003 ¶¶ 20,
`
`25), and Dr. Ratain admitted that he is not an expert in PNETs. See Ex. 2024,
`
`Ratain Trial Tr. I at 995.
`
`Novartis objects to Exhibit 1003 under 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(3), 37 C.F.R. §§
`
`42.65 and 42.104(b)(5), F.R.E. 702 (improper expert testimony), F.R.E. 402
`
`(relevance), and F.R.E. 403 (confusing, waste of time) for failing to identify with
`
`3
`
`

`
`
`
`particularity the underlying facts and data on which the opinion is based; Exhibit
`
`1003 ¶¶ 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49,

`
`include statements that do not cite any support, or include statements that are not
`
`supported by the cite(s) provided; and Exhibit 1003 ¶¶ 54, 59, 69, 70, 72, 73, 74,

`
`chapters or other references without identifying which aspects of those references
`
`are relied upon.
`
`Novartis also objects to Exhibit 1003 ¶¶ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
`
`13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43,
