`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c), Petitioners respectfully request that the
`
`Board exclude the following evidence relied upon by Patent Owner (PO).
`
`First, the Board should exclude testimony of PO’s expert and inventors (and
`
`supporting documents) regarding “secondary considerations” of non-obviousness.
`
`Such secondary considerations must bear a nexus to the claimed invention. But PO’s
`
`opinions and evidence fail to meet that basic threshold. PO relies on alleged
`
`“commercial success” and “unexpectedly superior properties” of certain drugs—
`
`Herceptin, Perjeta, Avastin, Lucentis and Xolair—that it contends were made using
`
`“the ’213 patent invention.” But PO, its expert and inventors have failed to present
`
`any evidence tying these drugs to the challenged claims, much less showing their
`
`success and any properties are due to the claimed invention.
`
`
`
`
`
` But they do not even attempt to show the drugs meet the
`
`specific requirements of any ’213 patent claim. PO’s “secondary considerations”
`
`evidence and opinions are thus are unreliable and irrelevant, and should be excluded.
`
`Second, the Board should exclude the notebooks and other internal documents
`
`PO relies on in its attempt to antedate prior art, as well as testimony relying on them.
`
`PO argues that certain prior art is antedated because the inventors, Drs. Carter and
`
`Presta, allegedly conceived of and reduced to practice claimed subject matter before
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`the prior art was published. But testimony from the named inventors is insufficient
`
`for antedation; it must be independently corroborated. For that purpose, PO relies on
`
`notebooks, including those of the inventors and other scientists, and other internal
`
`documents. Because they are relied on to corroborate work allegedly performed on
`
`certain dates, their authenticity and reliability is crucial. But PO’s evidence is
`
`insufficient to demonstrate such authenticity and reliability; rather, the record
`
`evidence raises serious questions that undermine any reliance on these documents.
`
`As an initial matter, the notebook copies PO relies on were scanned from the
`
`physical notebooks in late 2016.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` PO’s reliance on these recently-scanned copies is particularly curious
`
`
`
`. And even more so given that when PO’s counsel
`
`belatedly sought to produce a stack of documents purporting to be the microfilmed
`
`versions immediately before its records manager’s deposition, he clawed them back
`
`after Petitioner’s counsel identified differences from the filed, scanned versions.
`
`These unexplained gaps in the chain of custody of the notebooks alone warrant
`
`exclusion. But they are compounded by other unexplained discrepancies that further
`
`call into question the notebooks’ reliability. For example, the most critical notebooks
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`for PO’s antedation argument—the notebooks assigned to its inventors Drs. Carter
`
`and Presta (Exs. 2001–04)—
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` the
`
`notebook contents and dates remain uncorroborated by any independent source.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`For other notebooks (Exs. 2007–09) and internal documents (Exs. 2010–15)
`
`relied on for antedation, PO presented no testimony from any witness with relevant
`
`knowledge. PO presented no testimony from their authors. And records manager Ms.
`
`Loeffler
`
`
`
` and did not address the other internal documents at all.
`
`For these reasons, PO’s notebooks and internal documents should be excluded
`
`together with the testimony of PO’s witnesses relying on them.
`
`Third, the Board should exclude the validity opinions of PO’s expert Dr.
`
`Wilson, who admitted that he applied an incorrect legal standard. It is axiomatic that
`
`anticipation or obviousness are established by showing any single embodiment is
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`disclosed in, or obvious in light of, the prior art. Yet Dr. Wilson testified he applied
`
`a standard requiring disclosure or obviousness of every claimed embodiment.. Dr.
`
`Wilson’s validity analysis is thus fatally flawed, and should be excluded.
`
`Fourth, the Board should exclude certain portions of the deposition errata
`
`submitted by PO’s expert Dr. Wilson and inventor Dr. Carter, who attempt to
`
`improperly change testimony that is unhelpful to PO.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF THE PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board exclude:
`
`• Unreliable “secondary considerations” evidence (Exs. 2016 (Presta), ¶¶ 5, 51–
`
`53; 2017 (Carter), ¶¶ 4, 77–79; 2041 (Wilson), ¶¶ 83–87, 263–68; 2029);
`
`• Unreliable notebooks and internal documents (Exs. 2001–15), and testimony
`
`relying on them (Exs. 2016 (Presta), ¶¶11-12, 27-30, 32-36, 38-39, 42-49;
`
`2017 (Carter), ¶¶12-14, 20, 23- 29, 32-66, 68-79; 2018 (Brady), ¶¶9-10, 12-
`
`17, 19-24; 2019 (Loeffler); 2041 (Wilson), ¶86);
`
`• Dr. Wilson’s flawed validity opinions (Ex. 2041, ¶¶ 163-262);
`
`• Improper errata (Ex. 1197 (Wilson Tr.) at 137; Ex. 1198 (Carter Tr.) at 100).
`
`Petitioners timely objected to these exhibits. Paper 33 at 2–26; Paper 46 at 2–
`
`4; Paper 55 at 1; 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1).
`
`III. ARGUMENT
`A.
`PO’s Unreliable “Secondary Considerations” Opinions
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`In support of its non-obviousness contentions, PO relies on certain “secondary
`
`considerations,” i.e., commercial success and unexpected results. To be relevant,
`
`however, “secondary considerations” evidence must bear a nexus to the claimed
`
`invention. In re Kao, 639 F.3d 1057, 1068 (Fed. Cir. 2011).
`
`PO and its witnesses have presented no evidence to establish this requisite
`
`nexus. PO rests its arguments on testimony from its expert and inventors purporting
`
`to show that certain FDA-approved drugs—Herceptin, Perjeta, Avastin, Lucentis,
`
`and Xolair—have been commercially successful and have “unexpectedly superior
`
`properties.” POR 64–68; Exs. 2041 (Wilson) at ¶¶ 86, 130, 266; 2017 (Carter) at ¶¶
`
`4, 77–79; 2016 (Presta) at ¶¶ 5, 51–53. But PO’s witnesses fail to tie any such
`
`success or properties to the claimed invention.
`
`The named inventors at most state that these drugs “use the humanization
`
`techniques of the ’213 patent.” Exs. 2017 (Carter) at ¶¶ 4, 77–79; 2016 (Presta) at
`
`¶¶5, 51–53. But they made no attempt to compare the drugs with the ’213 patent
`
`claim elements. Exs. 1198 (Carter) 32:25–39:15; 1199 (Presta) 41:10–44:4. Dr.
`
`Wilson goes somewhat further, pointing out the drugs used the so-called “consensus
`
`approach” to choose the human framework, and include some common framework
`
`substitutions with the claims. Ex. 2041 at ¶¶82–86. But the ’213 patent does not
`
`claim a “consensus approach” or merely require a few framework substitutions in
`
`common. Rather, they recite specific humanized antibodies with requirements that
`
`
`
`5
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`Dr. Wilson admittedly did not even attempt to establish were embodied by any of
`
`identified drug. Ex. 1197 (Wilson) 246–248, 252:12–254:21. Relatedly, Dr. Wilson
`
`also seeks to rely on a prosecution declaration from PO scientist Dr. Shak purporting
`
`to identify properties of certain humanized antibodies described in publications after
`
`the ’213 patent invention. Ex. 2041 at ¶85. But Dr. Shak’s declaration also cannot
`
`support Dr. Wilson’s secondary considerations opinions, because neither Dr. Shak
`
`nor Dr. Wilson made any attempt to show that the antibodies described in these
`
`publications embody the claims either. Id.; Ex. 1002 at 7–3439 ¶¶2–9 (Shak Decl.).
`
`Under these circumstances, in the absence of any evidence or analysis
`
`establishing that any of these drugs or other humanized antibodies embodies any
`
`claim, PO and its witnesses cannot rely on them for commercial success or
`
`unexpected results. Kao, 639 F.3d at 1068; Gnosis SPA v. S. Ala. Med. Sci. Found’n,
`
`IPR2013-00116, Paper 68, at 38 (June 20, 2014) (“All types of objective evidence
`
`of nonobviousness must be shown to have nexus….A nexus is required in order to
`
`establish that the evidence relied upon traces its basis to a novel element in the claim,
`
`not to something in the prior art.”) (internal cites omitted). The opinions and
`
`evidence thus should be excluded as irrelevant (FRE 402), lacking sufficient
`
`reliability for expert testimony (FRE 702), and for failing to show supporting facts
`
`and/or data (37 C.F.R. § 42.65). See Shimano, Inc. v. Globeride, Inc., IPR2015-
`
`00273, Paper 40, at 26-28 (June 16, 2016) (excluding exhibits under FRE 402 based
`
`
`
`6
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`in part on PO’s failure to establish nexus with claimed invention).
`
`B.
`PO’s Unreliable Notebooks and Internal Documents
`PO asserts that certain references in the Petition are not prior art because “the
`
`’213 inventors conceived and actually reduced to practice [the claimed invention]
`
`before the publication of [the references].” POR at 23–42. In support, PO relies
`
`primarily on declarations from the named inventors. Id.; Exs. 2016, 2017. To
`
`antedate, however, any inventor testimony must be independently corroborated.
`
`Mahurkar v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 79 F.3d 1572, 1577 (Fed. Cir. 1996).
`
`To that end, PO relies on certain notebooks from the inventors and other
`
`scientists (Exs. 2016–2019), and certain other internal PO documents (Exs. 2010–
`
`2015). Because these documents provide the only alleged independent corroboration
`
`of the work on the claimed inventions, and the dates on which it was performed, it
`
`is particularly critical that they be properly authenticated and established as reliable.
`
`See Neste Oil Oyj v. REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC, IPR2013-00578, Paper 52 at 4 (Mar.
`
`12, 2015). And, as the Board held in Neste Oil, such authenticity must be established
`
`by a witness other than the inventors, to avoid the “circular” situation where a
`
`document relied on to corroborate a witness’s testimony is being authenticated only
`
`by that same witness. See id.; In re NTP, Inc., 654 F.3d 1279, 1291 (Fed. Cir. 2011);
`
`Chen v. Bouchard, 347 F.3d 1299, 1308 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (rejecting authentication
`
`established by only inventors testimony). Furthermore, corroboration evidence
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`bearing hallmarks of unreliability, such as unwitnessed notebooks, should be
`
`accorded no weight. Reese v. Hurst, 661 F.2d 1222, 1231 (CCPA 1981) (“inventors’
`
`notebooks are accorded no more weight than the inventors’ testimony in this
`
`instance, since they were not witnessed or signed and were unseen by any witness”).
`
`In this case, PO has failed to produce evidence sufficient to authenticate its
`
`inventor notebooks and other internal documents. First, the notebook copies it has
`
`produced were scanned from physical notebooks in late 2016. Exs. 1200 (Loeffler)
`
`15:1-12; 2019 at ¶7.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`174–175. For other notebooks (Exs. 2007–2009), PO presented no testimony from
`
` Exs. 1198 at 133–135; 1199 at
`
`their authors whatsoever. Ex. 1200 (Loeffler) 38:1-39:2.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Ex. 1200 at 18:2-20:6, 21:1-22:7,
`
`23:18-27:24, 28:2-38:11, 41:18-42:4, 46:14-50:3.
`
`Notably, PO admittedly has copies of the notebooks that were microfilmed
`
` (Exs. 2017 at ¶12, 2019 at ¶7,
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`2018), but those versions inexplicably were not produced with PO’s Response. And
`
`when PO’s counsel sought to belatedly produce them immediately before Ms.
`
`Loeffler’s deposition he subsequently clawed them back after Petitioner’s counsel
`
`identified differences between them and the scanned versions submitted in these
`
`proceedings. Ex. 1200 (Loeffler) at 7–9, 44–45. As a result, the contemporaneous
`
`notebook copies are not in evidence. The unfairness to Petitioners in admitting the
`
`later-scanned versions itself warrants exclusion.
`
`This reliability and authenticity concern is very real, particularly as it is
`
`compounded by other discrepancies in the evidence that remain unexplained.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Exs. 2001 at 4, 13-90; 2002 at 4, 13-68; 2003 at 4, 13-110; 2004 at 4,
`
`13-109; 1198 (Carter) 169:14-173:14, 174:9-175:10; 1199 (Presta) 63:12-64:10,
`
`65:1-67:5, 180:16-181:24.
`
`
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`1199 at 179:14–180:15; 2001 at 4; 1200 at 41. At base,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Exs.
`
`
`
`there is no independent authentication for the notes and contents of the inventor
`
`notebooks, and they are thus entitled to no weight. See Reese, 661 F.2d at 1231; see
`
`also Procter & Gamble Co., v. Teva Pharm., 566 F.3d 979, 998-99, (Fed. Cir. 2009)
`
`(unwitnessed notebook alone insufficient to support reduction to practice);
`
`Medichem S.A. v. Rolabo, S.L., 437 F.3d 1157, 1170 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (same). In that
`
`way, this case is relevantly indistinguishable from the Neste Oil decision, where the
`
`PTAB excluded as unauthenticated under FRE 901 unwitnessed pages of an
`
`inventor’s notebook, where only testimony from the inventor was presented to
`
`authenticate it. Neste Oil, IPR2013-00578, Paper 52 at 4–5.
`
`PO also seeks to rely on notebooks (Exs. 2007–09) from assignees who have
`
`provided no authenticating declaration in these proceedings. These notebooks should
`
`be excluded for the same reasons above, including that they are recently-scanned
`
`versions rather than the contemporaneous microfilmed versions. They also should
`
`be excluded under FRE 902 for the additional reason that they have not been
`
`
`
`10
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`authenticated by any witness with personal knowledge of their contents, or the
`
`process by which they were produced, copied, or stored—Ms. Loeffler had no
`
`personal knowledge in that regard. Ex. 1200 (Loeffler) 38:1-39:2. Additionally, such
`
`lab notebooks from non-testifying assignees should be excluded as inadmissible
`
`hearsay because they are out of court statements offered to prove the truth of the
`
`matter asserted—namely, to corroborate an inventor’s alleged prior invention. FRE
`
`801–802. See Chen v. Bouchard, Inter. No. 103,675, Paper No. 336, 2002 Pat. App.
`
`LEXIS 201, at *61-63 (B.P.A.I. Aug. 2, 2002) (excluding notebooks and data of
`
`inventor’s assistant offered to prove inventor’s reduction to practice as inadmissible
`
`hearsay where the assistant did not testify), aff’d, 347 F.3d 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2003);
`
`Medichem, 437 F.3d at 1172 n.10 (lab notebooks of non-testifying witness offered
`
`to corroborate inventor’s testimony entitled to no evidentiary weight).
`
`Furthermore, even if lab notebooks could constitute records of a “regularly
`
`conducted” business activity, these exhibits do not qualify because no witness with
`
`knowledge has testified as to how they were made or kept in the ordinary course of
`
`business. FRE 803(6)(D). The same is true of the other internal documents relied
`
`upon by PO (Exs. 2010–15) which were not identified or established as business
`
`records by any non-inventor— Ms. Loeffler did not address these documents in her
`
`declaration (Ex. 2019). Ex. 1200 (Loeffler) 38:1–39:2; Chen, 347 F.3d at 1308
`
`(rejecting authentication support only by inventor testimony); Microsoft v. Surfcast,

`
`IPR2013-00293, Paper 33 (Oct. 14, 2014) (excluding conception, reduction-to-
`
`practice exhibits under FRE 901 as PO failed to authenticate with any independent
`
`evidence); see also FRE 803(6)(D); XpertUniverse Inc. v. Cisco Systems Inc., Civil
`
`No. 09-157-RGA slip. op. 608 at fn. 3 (D. Del. Feb. 28, 2013) (excluding under FRE
`
`806 based on failure to present testimony from a custodian for the impugned exhibit).
`
`Once these documents are excluded, the Board also should exclude the
`
`testimony of PO’s declarants relying on them (Exs. 2016 (Presta), ¶¶11-12, 27-30,
`
`32-36, 38-39, 42-49; 2017 (Carter), ¶¶12-14, 20, 23- 29, 32-66, 68-79; 2018 (Brady),
`
`¶¶9-10, 12-17, 19-24; 2019 (Loeffler); 2041 (Wilson), ¶86) under FRE 401–03, 801–
`
`02 and 901 for the same reasons. See, e.g., Riverbed Tech. v. Realtime Data LLC,
`
`IPR2016-00978, Paper 67 at 41 (Oct. 30, 2017) (excluding unauthenticated exhibit
`
`under FRE 901 and parts of declaration expressly relying on that exhibit). The
`
`declaration of PO’s records manager Ms. Loeffler (Ex. 2019) also should be
`
`excluded in its entirety under FRE 602 because, by her own admission,
`
`
`
`
`
` Ex. 1200 (Loeffler) at 18:2-20:6, 21:1-22:7, 23:18-27:24, 28:2-38:11,
`
`41:18-42:4, 46:14-50:3; MaxLinear, Inc. v. Cresta Tech. Corp., IPR2015-00594,
`
`Paper 90 at 8-9 (Aug. 15, 2016) (excluding exhibit portions under FRE 602 for lack
`
`of personal knowledge).
`
`Finally, the Board also should exclude the portions of the declarations of PO’s
`
`
`
`12
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`inventors concluding that they “possessed the invention recited in claims 1–2, 4, 12,
`
`25, 29–31, 33, 42, 60, 62–67, 69, and 71-81 before July 26, 1990.” (Exs. 2016 at
`
`¶53; 2017 at ¶79.) In fact, both inventors admitted that they never attempted to show
`
`any correlation between the disclosures in the cited notebooks and other internal
`
`documents they rely on and the elements of the Challenged Claims. Exs. 1198
`
`(Carter) 37:19-39:15; 1199 (Presta) 84:3-85:2. Nor does Dr. Wilson do so. Ex. 2041
`
`(Wilson) at 256:20–257:3. And the inventors could not even agree on key aspects of
`
`the alleged invention story, such as who first suggested the “consensus” approach.
`
`Exs. 1199 (Presta) at 26:7-27:13; 1198 (Carter) 50:17-51:11; 2016 at ¶9 (“I…
`
`proposed a human consensus sequence”); 23–24; 2017 at ¶18 (“I proposed to Dr.
`
`Presta that we attempt… creating broadly-applicable consensus” variable domain
`
`sequences.”). The declarations therefore cannot reliably show invention of the
`
`subject matter of any claim of the ’213 patent. See NHK Seating of Am., Inc. v. Lear
`
`Corp., IPR2014-01200, Paper 29 (Feb. 2, 2016).
`
`C. Dr. Wilson’s Unreliable Validity Opinions
`PO relies solely on Dr. Wilson’s opinions for its contention that the challenged
`
`claims are not anticipated by, or obvious over, the prior art. Ex. 2041 at ¶¶163-262.
`
`Central to Dr. Wilson’s opinions is his contention that the framework region
`
`substitutions recited in the claims were not disclosed by or obvious in light of the
`
`prior art. Id. at ¶¶108, 125, 138, 141, 144. However, at his deposition, Dr. Wilson
`
`
`
`13
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`admitted that in conducting his validity analysis he applied a standard requiring
`
`every framework region substitution recited in a claim to be disclosed or obvious.
`
`Ex. 1197 (Wilson) 84:11-15, 91:3-13 (“Q: []If there is one embodiment with only
`
`one of those substitutions…, is it your opinion in your obviousness analysis that the
`
`entire claim is therefore obvious? A: No.”), 92:3-14, 93:4-12. The standard applied
`
`by Dr. Wilson directly conflicts with Federal Circuit precedent, which provides that
`
`a single embodiment falling within the scope of the claims is all that is required for
`
`anticipation or obviousness. See In re Kubin, 561 F.3d 1351, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2009);
`
`Vicor Corp. v. SynQor, Inc., 603 Fed. App’x 969, 975 (Fed. Cir. 2015). Dr. Wilson’s
`
`validity opinions are therefore inadmissible under FRE 702, as they are based on
`
`incorrect legal standards. Am. Med. Sys. v. Laser Peripherals, LLC, 712 F. Supp. 2d
`
`885, 901 (D. Minn. 2010) (excluding expert’s opinions, finding them “inadmissible
`
`because they [were] based on incorrect legal standards,” citing Herbert v. Lisle
`
`Corp., 99 F.3d 1109, 1117 (Fed. Cir. 1996) (“Incorrect statements of law are no more
`
`admissible through ‘experts' than are falsifiable scientific theories.”)) His opinions
`
`are also irrelevant under FRE 401-02 for the same reason.
`
`D.
`Improper Errata
`The Board has held that errata “cannot be used as a substitute for [] redirect
`
`examination, particularly where the opposing party would have no meaningful
`
`opportunity to respond to the altered testimony,” and thus substantive changes are
`
`
`
`14
`
`
`
`IPR2017-01488: Petitioners’ Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`not permitted. Apple, Inc. v. Achates Reference Publishing, Inc., IPR2013-00080,
`
`Paper 61 at 3-5 (Jan. 21, 2014) (expunging errata); Office Trial Practice Guide, 77
`
`Fed. Reg. 48,612, 48,642. Here, PO’s witnesses seek to do just that.
`
`Specifically, when asked whether he was aware that light chain of the
`
`Campath humanized antibody was created using a consensus sequence, Dr. Wilson
`
`first stated “I’m not aware of them using consensus sequences,” but then corrected
`
`himself, stating “I know it, but I would like to see the document, please.” Ex. 1197,
`
`50:5-19. In his errata, Dr. Wilson seeks to reverse his correction by deleting the
`
`words “I know it, but” to “clarify meaning.” Id. at 137. Such a substantive change
`
`to reverse the meaning of testimony is impermissible. Similarly, when asked whether
`
`Kabat 1987 “profess[es] to include all sequences that were even known at the time,”
`
`Dr. Carter testified, in part, “I think they tried very hard to include certain known
`
`sequences.” Ex. 1198, 60:3-12. In his errata, he seeks to change that testimony by
`
`deleting “certain” to “remove unintended qualifier.” Id. at 100.
`
`On the face of these changes, it is clear that the witnesses do not dispute using
`
`these words, but instead seek to make substantive changes to their testimony. That
`
`is improper and these errata should be expunged from the record.
