`
`
`PATENT OWNERS’ OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owners Santen Pharmaceutical
`
`Co., Ltd. (“Santen”) and Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. (“AGC”) (together, “Patent
`
`Owners”) hereby file these objections to evidence submitted by Petitioners Micro
`
`Labs Limited and Micro Labs USA Inc. (together, “Petitioners”) in connection
`
`with their Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 5,886,035 (“the ’035
`
`Patent”), Case No. IPR2017-01434.
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Updated Exhibit List (Paper 14)
`
`Patent Owners object to Petitioner’s Updated Exhibit List as it contains
`
`unauthorized argument regarding the alleged admissibility of Exhibits 1029 and
`
`1030.
`
`Ex. 1029 (replacement of Ex. 1006, JP-A-7070054 to Ueno Japan et al.)
`
`Patent Owners object to this exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 602 in that the
`
`certification included in the exhibit does not establish that the signers have
`
`personal knowledge concerning the accuracy of the English translation. Patent
`
`Owners further object to this exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 104(b) as any relevance
`
`of the exhibit depends on the accuracy of the English translation, and proof
`
`sufficient to support a finding that the English translation is accurate has not been
`
`introduced. Specifically, the certification included in the exhibit does not establish
`
`that the signer is able to assert, based upon personal knowledge or expertise, that
`
`the English translation is accurate.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex. 1030 (replacement of Ex. 1007, Bezuglov, V. V. & L. D. Bergelson,
`
`“Fluoroprostaglandins – A New Class of Biologically Active Analogues of
`
`Natural Prostaglandins” in Lipids of Biological Membranes (L.D. Bergelson,
`
`ed., 1982))
`
`Patent Owners object to this exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 602 in that the
`
`certification included in the exhibit does not establish that the signer has personal
`
`knowledge concerning the accuracy of the English translation. Patent Owners
`
`further object to this exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 104(b) as any relevance of the
`
`exhibit depends on the accuracy of the English translation, and proof sufficient to
`
`support a finding that the English translation is accurate has not been introduced.
`
`Specifically, the certification included in the exhibit does not establish that the
`
`signer is able to assert, based upon personal knowledge or expertise, that the
`
`English translation is accurate.
`
`
`
`
`
`These objections are being timely filed and served within 5 business days of the
`
`institution of the trial, in accordance with 37 C.F.R.§ 42.64(b)(1).
