`RE: IPR2017-01051 - Request for Surreply
`
`Counsel: 
`The Board authorizes Patent Owner to file a sur‐reply brief limited 1500 words and limited to 
`responding to arguments and evidence in Petitioner’s June 11, 2018 Reply. Patent Owner’s 
`sur‐reply may be filed no later than June 26, 2018. Patent Owner is not authorized to file new 
`evidence or declarations with its sur‐reply.

`Subject: RE: IPR2017‐01051 ‐ Request for Surreply  
`
`Judges Roesel, Gerstenblith, and Tornquist, 
`The disputed issue for the Wilson‐based grounds was clear from the Institution Decision: whether cellulose acetate 
`would remain on Teflon, such that it forms a base for additional layers. WaveForm made a strategic decision to waive its 
`Response and pushed Dexcom to brief on an accelerated timeline. Dexcom did and proved that cellulose acetate 
`remains when applied to Teflon: 
`
`Ex. 1035, 98.

`WAVEFORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
`Exhibit 2032-1 (IPR2017-01051)
`Dexcom, Inc. v. WaveForm Technologies, Inc.
`
`

`

`WaveForm, seeing Dexcom’s knockout evidence, now seeks an undo of its waiver decision. There is no good cause for 
`surreply because: 
`1) WaveForm knew the issue and waived their opportunity to supplement as other patent owners have (see, e.g.,
`IPR2017‐1449, Paper 21 at 3 (“Any arguments for patentability regarding the newly‐added challenges that are not raised
`in the Supplemental Patent Owner Response are deemed waived”);
`2) Dexcom submitted two corroborating documents with no declaration. These can be addressed at oral argument.
`There is no fairness issue.
`
`Regret of their decision not to bolster the record is not good cause for a surreply. None should be granted. 
`
`To any extent granted, because this surreply will be submitted after motions to exclude, the surreply should be limited 
`to citations to evidence already referenced in prior briefs in this matter.

`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests a conference call to discuss Patent Owner’s request for a short surreply brief to 
`respond to new evidence raised in Petitioner’s reply.

`
`

`

`As the panel may recall, it initially instituted review in this IPR based on limited grounds. Following the Supreme Court’s 
`decision in SAS, on April 27, 2018, this panel issued an order instituting all grounds for review, including those that had 
`previously been rejected. Given that, in its original institution decision, the panel had previously agreed with Patent 
`Owner, Patent Owner waived a Patent Owner Response. On June 11, 2018, Petitioner filed its reply brief. In that brief, it 
`introduced new evidence (e.g., Zhang, Ex. 1035) supported by a new declaration (Ex. 1033), purporting to rebut a point 
`made by the panel in its original institution decision. 
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests the opportunity to file a short sur‐reply brief limited 1500 words (approximately 6 
`pages) with no new evidence or declarations, which would be filed by June 26, 2018. Petitioner’s own case cited on page 
`16 of its brief, Genzyme Therapeutic v. Biomarin Pharms., 825 F.3d 1360, 1368 (Fed. Cir. 2016), notes that one 
`appropriate means for responding to new evidence in a reply brief is to “ask[] for leave to file a sur‐reply, as 
`longstanding Board practice allows.” 
`
`In a meet and confer call, Petitioner states that it opposes this request. To the extent the Board would like to have a call 
`to discuss this matter, counsel for Patent Owner will make themselves available at the panel’s convenience.
