`
`STATEMENT OF THE PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Petitioner Famy Care Limited (“Famy Care” or “Petitioner”) filed the present
`
`petition for inter partes review (“the Famy Care IPR”) and respectfully submits this
`
`Motion for Joinder. Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 315(c), 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.22, and
`
`42.122(b), Famy Care requests institution of an inter partes review concerning U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,633,162 B2, which issued on January 21, 2014, to Acheampong et al.
`
`(“the ’162 patent”) and joinder with the inter partes review concerning the same
`
`patent in Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Allergan, Inc., assigned Case No. IPR2016-
`
`01130, (the “Mylan IPR”), which was instituted on December 8, 2016.
`
`In accordance with the Board’s Representative Order identifying matters to be
`
`addressed in a motion for joinder (Kyocera Corp. et al. v. Softview LLC, Paper No. 15,
`
`IPR2013-0004, Apr. 24, 2013), Petitioner submits that: (1) joinder is appropriate
`
`because it will promote efficient determination of the validity of the ‘162 patent
`
`without prejudice to the prior petitioners, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mylan”), or
`
`to the owners of the ‘162 patent, Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan” or “Patent Owner”); (2)
`
`Famy Care’s Petition raises virtually the same grounds of unpatentability over the
`
`same prior art references as those instituted by the Board in the Mylan IPR; (3) joinder
`
`would not affect the pending schedule in the Mylan IPR nor unduly increase the
`
`complexity of that proceeding, thereby minimizing costs; and (4) Petitioner is willing
`
`to agree to consolidated discovery of Patent Owner witnesses with Mylan to minimize
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`the burden and the impact on the schedule. Famy Care will coordinate with Mylan
`
`whenever possible and strive to avoid any duplication or additional burden. See, e.g.,
`
`Motorola Mobility LLC v. Softview LLC, Paper No. 10, IPR2013-00256 (June 20,
`
`2013) and Amneal Pharm., LLC v. Yeda Res. & Dev. Co., Ltd., Paper No. 9, IPR2015-
`
`01976 (Dec. 28, 2015).
`
`As this Motion is submitted within one month of December 8, 2016, the date of
`
`institution for the Mylan IPR, it is timely under 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.22 and 42.122(b).
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS
`
`1.
`
`Allergan served Famy Care with a complaint asserting infringement
`
`of the ‘162 patent and related patents no earlier than April 15, 2016. Allergan, Inc.
`
`v. Famy Care Ltd., Civ. A. No. 2:16cv0401 (Eastern District of Texas, filed April
`
`12, 2016).
`
`2. On December 8, 2016, the Board instituted trial on claims 1-24 of the
`
`‘162 patent in the Mylan IPR.
`
`3.
`
`The Mylan IPR was instituted based on the below asserted grounds for
`
`unpatentability:
`
`Ground Claims
`
`1
`
`2
`3
`
`1-10, 12-14,
`16-20 and 22-

`§ 103
`
`Ding ’979, Sall, and Acheampong
`Ding ’979, Sall, and Glonek
`
`2
`
`
`
`4.
`
`The Famy Care IPR presents grounds for unpatentability nearly
`
`identical to those in the Mylan IPR, challenging all of claims 1-24, and relying
`
`upon the same prior art references and combinations in three listed Grounds. The
`
`only difference between the grounds is that the Famy Care IPR includes claims 11,
`
`15, and 21 in Ground 1, where Mylan does not. However, both the Mylan IPR and
`
`the Famy Care IPR include claims 11 and 21 in Ground 2, and claim 15 in Ground
`
`3. Thus, in terms of the claims challenged, the grounds for unpatentability and the
`
`cited prior references, the Famy Care IPR and the Mylan IPR are nearly identical.
`
`5.
`
`In the Institution decision for the Mylan IPR, the panel noted that
`
`Allergan heavily relied on declaration testimony to argue secondary considerations
`
`supported patentability; and that as a result, in part, of the lack of declarant cross-
`
`examination the Board would be “able to evaluate both parties’ arguments
`
`regarding secondary considerations more thoroughly once the record is developed
`
`further during trial.” (IPR2016-01130, Paper No. 8 at 16-17). To provide one
`
`reason that Famy Care’s IPR petition is not identical to Mylan’s IPR, Famy Care
`
`has provided additional specific analysis demonstrating why Allergan’s proffered
`
`secondary considerations evidence does not support finding unexpected results,
`
`including by (1) explaining why the evidence was unavailable to guide the
`
`expectations of the person of ordinary skill in the art; and (2) citing specific
`
`statements from Allergan’s published, prior art clinical trial reports that contradict
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`the statements of Allergan’s declarants based on unpublished data. (See, e.g.,
`
`Famy Care IPR at 56-77). Even if Mylan’s declarants are not permitted to rely on
`
`such evidence during trial, Famy Care’s experts, who have included this testimony
`
`in their Declarations, should be permitted to do so. But this difference should not
`
`have a material adverse impact on the nature and scope of discovery. Instead, it
`
`will provide the Board additional analysis to inform its considered judgment.
`
`Famy Care will seek to coordinate with Mylan to avoid duplication in discovery
`
`and testimony.
`
`6.
`
`Famy Care’s IPR contains declarations from two experts who did not
`
`submit declarations in the Mylan IPR. One of the Famy Care experts, however, is
`
`a distinguished clinician with considerable experience treating ocular diseases,
`
`providing another useful perspective for the Board to consider regarding the state
`
`of the art and the validity of the challenged patents.
`
`7.
`
`Otherwise, Famy Care’s arguments, while worded differently, are
`
`substantively very similar to the Mylan IPR. The Famy Care and Mylan IPR
`
`petitions contain similar invalidity analyses based on identical prior art. The terms
`
`presented for claim construction, the definitions of the person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art, and the proposed claim constructions are substantially similar.
`
`8.
`
`The exhibits to the two petitions, particularly the technical exhibits,
`
`are largely identical. Specifically, Exhibits 1001, 1004-1022 and 1024 from the
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`Famy Care IPR match exhibits in the Mylan IPR. The remaining exhibits
`
`(including the expert declarations and CVs) are distinct.
`
`III. STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR RELIEF REQUESTED
`Famy Care respectfully requests that the Board exercise its discretion to
`
`grant joinder of the Famy Care IPR and the Mylan IPR proceedings under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 315(c), 37 C.F.R. § 42.22, and 37 C.F.R. § 42.122(b). In support of this
`
`motion, Famy Care proposes consolidated discovery, and will coordinate with
`
`Mylan whenever possible to avoid any duplication; and will use best efforts to
`
`consolidate briefing with Mylan with shared page limits wherever possible.
`
`The Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) permits joinder of inter partes
`
`review proceedings. The statutory provision governing joinder of inter partes
`
`review proceedings is 35 U.S.C. § 315(c), which reads as follows:
`
`(c) JOINDER.—If the Director institutes an inter partes review, the
`
`Director, in his or her discretion, may join as a party to that inter
`
`partes review any person who properly files a petition under section
`
`311 that the Director, after receiving a preliminary response under
`
`section 313 or the expiration of the time for filing such a response,
`
`determines warrants the institution of an inter partes review under
`
`section 314.
`
`
`
`5
`
`
`
`When exercising its discretion to grant joinder, the Board considers the
`
`impact of substantive and procedural issues on the proceedings, as well as other
`
`considerations, while being “mindful that patent trial regulations, including the
`
`rules for joinder, must be construed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive
`
`resolution of every proceeding.” See Dell, Inc. v. Network-1 Security Solutions,
`
`Inc., IPR2013-00385, Paper No. 17, at 3 (July 29, 2013). The Board should
`
`consider “the policy preference for joining a party that does not present new issues
`
`that might complicate or delay an existing proceeding.” Id. at 10. Under this
`
`framework, the joinder of the Famy Care IPR with the Mylan IPR would be
`
`appropriate to conserve Board and party resources, and facilitate the efficient and
`
`speedy resolution of both proceedings.
`
`“A motion for joinder should: (1) set forth the reasons why joinder is
`
`appropriate; (2) identify any new grounds of unpatentability asserted in the
`
`petition; (3) explain what impact (if any) joinder would have on the trial schedule
`
`for the existing review; and (4) address specifically how briefing and discovery
`
`may be simplified.” Id. at 4. Each of these is addressed fully below.
`
`A. Reasons Why Joinder Is Appropriate
`Joinder is appropriate in this case because it is the most expedient way to
`
`secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of the two related proceedings.
`
`See 35 U.S.C. § 316(b); 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b). The Famy Care IPR is nearly
`
`
`
`6
`
`
`
`identical to the Mylan IPR in terms of the grounds instituted, the claims
`
`challenged, and the prior art references relied upon for each ground, which avoids
`
`multiplying the issues before the Board while expediting resolution of the Famy
`
`Care proceedings. Famy Care presents arguments similar to the Mylan IPR, but
`
`for the differences noted above in the statement of material facts. Indeed, the
`
`Board has held that joinder is appropriate even in instances (unlike here) where
`
`there is merely an “overlap” in the cited prior art, rather than a complete
`
`duplication. See, e.g., Microsoft Corp. v. Proxyconn, Inc., Paper No. 15, at 4,
`
`IPR2013-00109 (February 25, 2013) (concerning a second petition brought by the
`
`same petitioner). Given the duplication of the art and the grounds, joinder of the
`
`related proceedings is appropriate and conserves Board resources. As noted above,
`
`Famy Care will agree to consolidated discovery, and agree to be bound by the
`
`schedule set forth by the Board in the Mylan proceedings.
`
`Identical Grounds and Similar Petitions
`
`1.
`The Mylan IPR challenges the same patent claims, contains the same
`
`
`
`instituted grounds of unpatentability, and relies upon the same prior art references
`
`for each ground of unpatentability. In these key respects, the two petitions are
`
`virtually identical. The only, very minor, difference, is three claims challenged in
`
`Ground 1, as discussed above in the statement of material facts. However, these
`
`claims are included in other grounds in both the Mylan IPR and the Famy Care
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`IPR, as discussed above. In addition, the Famy Care IPR is substantively similar to
`
`the Mylan IPR, but for the differences noted above in the statement of material
`
`facts. The petitions contain similar analysis and largely identical exhibits. Given
`
`that the Board has already instituted trial in the Mylan IPR (Paper No. 8), the Famy
`
`Care IPR will not require additional Board resources to determine whether
`
`institution is appropriate here on virtually the same grounds as in the Mylan IPR
`
`institution decision.1 Accordingly, maintaining the Famy Care IPR proceeding
`
`separate from the Mylan IPR would duplicate effort and resources, and could
`
`produce inconsistent results. See 157 CONG. REC. S1376 (daily ed. Mar. 8, 2011)
`
`(statement of Sen. Kyl) (“The Office anticipates that joinder will be allowed as of
`
`right—if an inter partes review is instituted on the basis of a petition, for example,
`
`a party that files an identical petition will be joined to that proceeding, and thus
`
`allowed to file its own briefs and make its own arguments.”)
`
`Consolidated Discovery
`
`2.
`Because the grounds of unpatentability and the prior art relied on in the
`
`Famy Care IPR and the Mylan IPR are the same, the case is amenable to
`
`consolidated discovery.
`
`
`1 Nor did Allergan, in responding to Mylan’s IPR, rely on the particular elements
`
`in Famy Care’s added claims as patentable distinctions, obviating any burden.
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`Consolidated discovery is appropriate given that Famy Care and Mylan are
`
`asserting the same grounds for unpatentability, against the same claims, using the
`
`same prior art references. Famy Care will agree to work with Mylan in the
`
`conduct of discovery. For example, Famy Care would agree to designate an
`
`attorney in coordination with Mylan to conduct the cross-examination of any given
`
`witness produced by Allergan within the timeframe normally allotted for one party.
`
`Famy Care does not at present have consent from Mylan to consolidate
`
`document filings. As noted above, Famy Care will use its best efforts to cooperate
`
`with Mylan, and present consolidated papers wherever possible.2 However, even
`
`without consolidated filings, Famy Care believes consolidating the proceedings
`
`will lead to increased efficiencies for the Board, should the Board grant the Famy
`
`Care’s IPR petition, by avoiding an entirely separate and largely duplicative
`
`proceeding. Famy Care will endeavor to coordinate with Mylan to avoid
`
`duplicative filings and testimony wherever possible.
`
`
`2 An exception may be where there is an issue unique to Famy Care that Mylan is
`
`not in a position to address; or where Allergan would object to the issue being
`
`addressed by Mylan but not Famy Care.
`
`
`
`9
`
`
`
`B. No New Grounds of Unpatentability
`The Famy Care IPR contains the virtually same three grounds of
`
`unpatentability instituted in the Mylan IPR, with the minor caveat noted above.
`
`In Ground 1, Famy Care includes claims 11, 15, and 21, which Mylan does not;
`
`however, Allergan did not argue in the Mylan IPR a separate patentable distinction
`
`for claims 11, 15, and 21. Claims 11, 15, and 21 also are included in other grounds
`
`in both the Mylan IPR and the Famy Care IPR. The Famy Care petition does not
`
`contain any additional new “grounds” of unpatentability. The grounds of
`
`unpatentability are otherwise identical, including the prior art references relied
`
`upon.
`
`As noted above in the statement of material facts, Famy Care’s petition
`
`includes some additional arguments concerning secondary considerations, some
`
`different wording, a few additional exhibits, and two expert declarations not
`
`presented in the Mylan IPR. However, the additional documents and discussion of
`
`secondary considerations are all directed to the same three grounds of
`
`unpatentability, concerning the same claims, and relying on the same prior art
`
`references as those in the Mylan IPR. Indeed, the Board has previously instituted
`
`joinder where a second IPR petition relied on a different expert declaration. (See,
`
`e.g., Apotex Inc. and Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., v. Novartis AG and Mitsubishi
`
`Pharma Corp, Paper No. 8, at 3, IPR2015-00518 (February 25, 2015); Torrent
`
`
`
`10
`
`
`
`Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v. Novartis AG and Mitsubishi Pharma Corp, Paper No. 17 at 2,
`
`IPR2014-00784 (February 4, 2015)(a related proceeding to Apotex v. Mylan).
`
`C. No Impact on IPR Trial Schedule
`The difference between the filing date of the Famy Care IPR and the Mylan
`
`IPR is without consequence should the proceedings be joined. The trial schedule
`
`for the Mylan IPR need not be delayed to effect joinder based on Patent Owners’
`
`preliminary response and later-filed Famy Care IPR. Indeed, given that the Famy
`
`Care IPR asserts virtually identical grounds of unpatentability as those instituted in
`
`the Mylan IPR, Patent Owners should not need to submit a preliminary response.
`
`The Mylan IPR institution decision did not address Allergan’s secondary
`
`considerations evidence on the merits, but rather recognized such evidence was
`
`better assessed at trial. Allergan has full control over the scope of secondary
`
`considerations evidence it wishes to present and rely upon during trial. The joint
`
`proceeding would allow the Board and parties to focus on the merits in a timely
`
`manner, in one consolidated proceeding without unnecessary duplication of effort.
`
`Joinder Will, on Balance, Simplify Discovery.
`
`D.
`As discussed above, Petitioner is amenable to a consolidated discovery
`
`schedule and consolidated discovery, which will simplify the discovery process.
`
`Famy Care will work to eliminate duplicative discovery and duplicative briefing.
`
`
`
`11
`
`
`
`Should the Board deny joinder, the instant Petition remains timely filed,
`
`because the Famy Care IPR was filed less than one year after April 15, 2016. See
`
`35 U.S.C. § 315(b). If the Board institutes the Famy Care IPR but denies joinder,
`
`the parties will move forward separately towards two separate trials on the same
`
`grounds of unpatentability based on the same art. This result may unnecessarily
`
`consume additional time and resources from the Board and the Patent Owner.
`
`Joinder Will Not Prejudice Patent Owner or Mylan
`
`E.
`Famy Care proposes joinder to streamline the proceedings and reduce the
`
`costs and burdens on both the parties and the Board. Famy Care believes joinder
`
`will achieve these goals for several reasons. First, joinder will reduce the time and
`
`expense for depositions and other discovery required in separate proceedings.
`
`Second, joinder eliminates the possibility of conflicting rulings concerning the
`
`same claims, based on the same grounds. Third, joinder creates case management
`
`efficiencies for the Board and parties without prejudice to Patent Owners.
`
`If the Famy Care IPR is instituted, but joinder denied, Patent Owners would
`
`be required to engage in duplicative discovery to defend against both IPR petitions,
`
`perhaps requiring (for example) the same witnesses to testify twice on the same
`
`issues. Patent Owners (and the Board) could well be required to participate in two
`
`separate hearings on the same grounds. Joinder would eliminate the need for
`
`Patent Owners to participate in duplicative proceedings.
`
`
`
`12
`
`
`
`Given that Famy Care is willing to coordinate briefing with Mylan as
`
`discussed above, Mylan will not be prejudiced, as Mylan will be able to present its
`
`written arguments in the same way it would have if joinder was not instituted.
`
`Again, Famy Care will coordinate with Mylan to avoid duplication and reduce any
`
`burden on either Mylan or Patent Owners whenever possible; and expects that if an
`
`issue is briefed separately, it will be due to, e.g., issues unique to Famy Care that
`
`Mylan is not in a position to address; or where Allergan would object to the issue
`
`being addressed by Mylan, but not by Famy Care.
`
`IV. PROPOSED ORDER
`Petitioner proposes a joinder order for consideration by the Board as
`
`follows:
`
`• The Famy Care IPR will be instituted and joined with the Mylan IPR,
`
`including on the same grounds as those for which review was
`
`instituted in the Mylan IPR.
`
`• The scheduling order for the Mylan IPR will apply to the joined
`
`proceeding.
`
`• Famy Care, Mylan and Allergan will cooperate to avoid duplicative
`
`discovery and testimony.
`
`
`
`13
`
`
`
`V. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Famy Care respectfully requests that its Petition
`
`for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,633,162 B2 be instituted and that the
`
`proceeding be joined with Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. v. Allergan, Inc., IPR2016-
`
`01130. Although no additional fee is believed to be required for this Motion, the
`
`Commissioner is hereby authorized to charge any additional fees which may be
`
`required for this Motion to Deposit Acct. No. 503626.
