` -Proceedings-
` HON. MITCHELL: Good afternoon,
` everyone. My name is Judge Mitchell
` and on the phone with me is Judges
` Franklin and Boalick. We are here
` today for a conference call in
` IPR2017-00190. Before we get started
` if I could get a roll call beginning
` with Petitioner. Who is on the line
` for the Petitioner?
` MR. FIGG: Good afternoon, Your
` Honor. This is Tony Figg from
` Rothwell Figg and with me is Aydin
` Harston for the Petitioner.
` HON. MITCHELL: Great. Thank
` you.
` MR. FIGG: By the way, there's a
` court reporter on the line as well.
` HON. MITCHELL: Great. Thank
` you so much. Can I trust, Mr. Figg,
` that you will get the transcript filed
` in the IPR when it's available?
` MR. FIGG: We certainly will.
` Thank you.

` -Proceedings-
` let me see who is on the line for the
` Patent Owner?
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: Good
` afternoon, Your Honor. My name is
` John Livingston from Finnegan and
` joining me today is my partner from
` our Tokyo office Naoki Yoshida from
` very early in the morning on the other
` side of the world.
` HON. MITCHELL: Great. And
` welcome to both of you. This is a
` conference call that was sought by the
` Petitioners regarding a possible
` motion to stay prosecution of a
` reissue application pending resolution
` of this IPR. And that application is
` No. 16-405171 filed on January 12,
` 2017. So with that in mind because
` the Petitioner has asked for the call,
` I will start with Petitioner.
` MR. FIGG: Thank you, Your
` Honor. This is Tony Figg. As you may
` recall in the telephone conference
` that we had on February 21st which was

` -Proceedings-
` pre-institution we had raised this
` issue. The Patent Owner had filed a
` reissue application after our IPR
` petition was filed. And so we raised
` this issue during our initial phone
` conference and the Board -- and if you
` want to refer to the transcript, it's
` around page 32 and 33 -- said that the
` request was premature because the IPR
` had not yet been instituted and that
` the Petitioner could raise this issue
` again when and if institution
` occurred. And Patent Owner also made
` that argument that our Petition was
` premature.
` So the IPR has now been
` instituted, so we are raising this
` point again. The reissue application
` that has been filed contains two
` claims that are identical or virtually
` identical to claims that are subject
` to review in the IPR and it contains
` other claims that are dependant on
` them and may very well suffer whatever

` fate the claims that are being
` reviewed suffer. And so it's our view
` that this reissue proceeding should be
` stayed to avoid duplication of efforts
` in the patent office to avoid
` potentially inconsistent results and
` to avoid, you know, unnecessary
` activities by the parties as well.
` We have looked, you know, at the
` Board's prior decisions on this issue.
` We have been unable to find any case
` in which a request to stay proceedings
` on a reissue application that was
` filed after the IPR petition was filed
` has been denied. There are a number
` of cases in which the Board has
` granted that request, and I can just
` quickly name a few for the record.
` Demurrer versus Pure Form which
` is IPR2015-01593, Legend 3D versus
` Prime Focus which is IPR 2016-00806,
` GEOSYS International versus Farmer's
` Edge Precision Consulting which is IPR
` 2015-00709, Unified Patents Inc.

` Versus IMTX Strategic which is
` IPR2015-01061.
` So we think what we are asking
` the Board to do here is very
` conventional, and we think it will
` make life easier for the Board as well
` as the parties.
` HON. MITCHELL: Great. Let me
` ask you one question, are there any
` claims involved in the issue that are
` not similar to the claims that are in
` the IPR, the instituted IPR?
` MR. FIGG: We think that all of
` the claims are similar. Certainly
` they have introduced claims that have
` additional limitations or are
` different, but I think it begs the
` question of what would be the fate of
` those claims. For example, if the
` Board were to determine that the basic
` claims covering the invention were
` held to be unpatentable, that the
` cover -- the method were held to be
` unpatentable, is there anything in

` these dependant claims that would not
` also fall as a result of the estoppel
` provisions. And, you know, that is
` exactly the kind of issue I think that
` should be addressed after the IPR has
` been decided.
` HON. MITCHELL: Okay. Let me
` hear from the Patent Owner.
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: Thank you,
` Your Honor. This is John Livingstone.
` We oppose Petitioner's request to
` brief this issue frankly because we
` believe it's the resources of the
` parties and the Board for some of the
` reasons that you just questioned and
` mentioned.
` First, the Board has stated a
` number of times that it will not
` ordinarily stay an reissue application
` in the absence of good cause because
` reissues are given special status.
` And as Mr. Figg just pointed out, in
` determining whether good cause exists
` the Board typically looks to whether

` the proceedings will render
` inconsistent decisions will result in
` a duplication of efforts. Those
` concerns we believe do not exist here
` because the claims in the IPR and the
` claims in the reissue are not
` identical.
` And while Mr. Figg says there
` are others claims in the reissue
` application, there are 31 additional
` dependant claims in the reissue
` application that introduce patently
` distinct elements that are not
` addressed by Petitioner and are very
` different from the elements in the
` institution decision.
` And so quite frankly, just
` because there's no chance of
` inconsistent judgements or of a
` duplication of efforts, we believe
` this distinction alone should
` foreclose a motion to stay counsel
` against briefing the issue.
` HON. MITCHELL: Okay. Thank

` you.
` Petitioner, would you like to
` have the last word in response?
` MR. FIGG: Well, I would. And,
` you know, we acknowledge that they
` have added a lot of new claims and Mr.
` Livingstone is making the argument now
` that they are patently distinct, but
` that is an issue that is going to
` require him considerable effort to
` decide, and there will be an
` opportunity of deciding that with
` clarity after the fate of the
` claims of the issued patent has been
` decided by the Board.
` For example, as the Board is
` aware that the broad claims here cover
` a method of treating onychomycosis, a
` nail infection by topically applying
` this antifungal compound to the nail.
` They have added claims where they say
` this treatment is a model therapy.
` They have added claims where they
` identify specific organisms which are

` also identified in the basic patent.
` They added claims that say where in
` the nail is a toenail. They add
` claims wherein the method allegedly
` results in a complete cure.
` These are all things that just
` saying that they are patentably
` distinct doesn't make it so. And I
` think that will be something that will
` be much easier to determine once the
` Board has decided on patentability and
` has explained the bases for its
` decision.
` HON. MITCHELL: Let me ask you
` this, are there claims that are very
` similar between the IPR and the
` reissue proceeding? I mean both of
` you talked about the dates and the
` claims where additional limitations
` are added, but are there really
` overlapping claims between, you know,
` one proceeding and the other where the
` independent claims are very similar?
` MR. FIGG: Yes, Claims 1 and 2

` are essentially identical. There was
` a change in the chemical nomenclature
` in Claim 2, but there's no indication,
` and I think the Patent Owner would
` agree, they are not trying to claim a
` different compound, it's just
` different chemical nomenclature used
` to describe exactly the same compound.
` So Claims 1 and 2 of the reissue
` application are identical to Claims 1
` and 2 of the issue patent that is
` being reviewed.
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: If I may, Your
` Honor?
` HON. MITCHELL: Sure.
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: I would agree
` with Mr. Figg that Claims 1 and 2 are
` at least in substance identical. Any
` change to the language has been in
` form. The additional 31 claims are
` all dependant claims from Claim 2 that
` add additional limitations to the
` claims.

` this, Mr. Livingston, how is the
` Patent Owner prejudiced if you did
` have to wait until resolution of the
` IPR to pursue the reissue application?
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: Well, I think
` there's a very serious prejudice to us
` because we expect ANDA litigation on
` these patents next summer, and we
` won't get the decision here until May
` and should the patent claims survive
` or if they go down, either way we can
` move forward with the reissue
` application. But those claims will
` not be in effect at the time of ANDA
` litigation which is a severe prejudice
` to the Patent Owner.
` Also, one of the potential
` things that I have seen in some of the
` cases is that you can consolidate the
` proceedings. Here I don't know that
` that works because adding an
` additional 31 claims to the IPR to
` further burden the parties can present
` time issues. And I know in other IPR

` decisions that has been a factor that
` the Board has taken into account. And
` one that I wouldn't mind putting in
` the record is IPR2014-00041 in which
` there was a reissue application
` pending when the IPR was instituted
` and there wasn't a first office action
` in it just like the one we have before
` us. There is an additional 19 claims
` and that have passed because they
` believe the newly presented claims
` were not before them and it would
` prejudice the Patent Owner.
` MR. FIGG: Your Honor, this is
` Tony Figg. I think that case if it's
` the same one I am thinking of is very
` distinguishable. The reissue was
` filed before the IPR petition there.
` I believe there was a re-examination
` pending, and there was actually a stay
` that was ordered as a result of the
` re-examine. Mr. Livingstone and I may
` possibly be thinking of different
` cases, but if it's the one, we only

` found one case in which the reissue
` was not stayed and that was very
` distinguishable and it was a
` prepetition reissue application.
` Every single case where the Board has
` considered this after the petition was
` filed, a reissue application filed
` after the petition was filed has been
` stayed.
` And with respect to the ANDA
` litigation, I mean we are involved in
` ANDA litigation all the time where
` there is a pending reissue
` application. I mean this is not an
` unusual situation for Patent Owners to
` find themselves in if they have claims
` that have some vulnerabilities that
` are going to be exploited by
` Defendants in ANDA litigation.
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: I too have
` been involved in cases where there's a
` pending of reissue and it's a burden
` on the Patent Owner. And we try to
` get all of our patents before we get

` into the ANDA litigation for just that
` reason.
` MR. FIGG: Well, your Honor, the
` Patent Owner knew that ANDA litigation
` was on the horizon a long time before
` now, and they chose to file their
` reissue application after we filed our
` IPR petition and presumably in
` response to it.
` HON. MITCHELL: Well, thank you
` both. I think we understand the
` issue. Give me one moment, I'm going
` to put you guys on hold and confer
` with the panel, and I will be right
` back.
` (There was a pause in the
` proceeding.)
` HON. MITCHELL: This is Judge
` Mitchell back. I think that the
` issues it sounds like appear close
` enough in the IPR in the reissue that
` we would like to see formal briefing
` on it. So we would, the Panel would
` authorize the motion for stay and

` limit it to five pages for the opening
` brief, five pages for the responsive
` brief and then three pages for the
` reply brief and hopefully that should
` be sufficient to explain why or
` concretely why that they should or
` shouldn't happen. Any questions from
` the Petitioner?
` MR. FIGG: Just on the timing of
` the briefing, Your Honor.
` HON. MITCHELL: Let me ask what
` the parties would propose.
` MR. FIGG: Well, I guess maybe I
` can ask the Patent Owner for
` clarification. I don't think there's
` been any action on the reissue
` application at all yet, has there?
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: Not that we
` know of.
` MR. FIGG: I think if we could
` have ten days to get our opening brief
` in and have a few days for a reply
` brief, that would be okay for the
` Petitioner.

` HON. MITCHELL: Okay, 15
` calendar days.
` MR. FIGG: Yes.
` THE HEARING OFFICER: Okay. And
` then Patent Owner would you like ten
` calendar days to respond?
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: Yes, Your
` Honor, we would.
` HON. MITCHELL: Okay. And then
` I would go five calendar days for the
` reply. And I will certainly put this
` in an order so you will know exactly
` when which is always helpful.
` MR. FIGG: Yes, Your Honor.
` HON. MITCHELL: So I think that
` resolves the issues. So, Petitioner,
` do you have anything further?
` MR. FIGG: No, Your Honor.
` Thank you.
` HON. MITCHELL: And Patent
` Owner?
` MR. LIVINGSTONE: No, Your
` Honor. Just thanks everybody for
` their time today.
