`
`PATENT OWNERS’ OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-00892
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64, Patent Owners hereby object under the
`
`Federal Rules of Evidence (“FRE”) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.62 to the admissibility of
`
`evidence that Petitioner submitted on April 5, 2018 in support of its Petition.
`
`Patent Owners’ objections apply equally to Petitioner’s reliance on these exhibits
`
`in any subsequently-filed documents. These objections are timely, having been
`
`filed within ten business days of the Institution Decision (October 15, 2018).
`
`Exhibit 1002
`
`Patent Owners object to Exhibit 1002, Declaration of Dr. Park. Patent
`
`Owner specifically objects to ¶¶ 36, 39, 41, 43, 44, 45, 49, 52, 53, 54, 113, 120,
`
`136, 146, 160, 163, 165, 166, 167, 169, 173, 175, 178, 190, 224 of Exhibit 1002,
`
`and all paragraphs that rely on those paragraphs. These paragraphs lack a
`
`disclosed basis of sufficient facts or data (FRE 705; 37 C.F.R. § 42.65), are not
`
`based on sufficient facts or data, are not the product of reliable principles and
`
`methods, and/or are not a reliable application of the principles and methods to the
`
`facts (FRE 702, 703). The paragraphs also do not have a probative value that is
`
`substantially outweighed by the risk of prejudice to Patent Owners (FRE 703), are
`
`misleading and/or confusing (FRE 403), and are irrelevant (FRE 402).

`
`Exhibit 1004
`
`Patent Owners object to Exhibit 1004, what purports to be a copy of Carreiro
`
`et al., “Apixaban, an oral direct Factor Xa inhibitor: awaiting the verdict,” Expert
`
`Opin. Investig. Drugs, 17(12):1937-1945 (2008).
`
`Patent Owners object to this document under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, and
`
`403 as lacking relevance and because its probative value is substantially
`
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the
`
`fact finder, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence. Patent Owners also object to this Exhibit as not properly authenticated
`
`under FRE 901 because Petitioner has not presented sufficient evidence that the
`
`document is authentic nor that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owners further object as not being an original document under FRE 1002,
`
`an authentic duplicate under FRE 1003, nor a document that falls under any
`
`exceptions to the original-document requirement, including those of FRE 1004.
`
`Petitioner has not established that the document is a “printed publication” under 35
`
`U.S.C. §102(b) with a copyright date of 2008. 35 U.S.C. § 311(b).
`
`Exhibit 1010
`
`Patent Owners object to Exhibit 1010, what purports to be a copy of Rudnic
`
`et al., “Tablet Dosage Forms,” in Modern Pharmaceutics, 4th ed., G.S. Banker and
`
`C.T. Rhodes, eds., Taylor & Francis Group, Boca Raton, FL, pp. 333-359 (2002).

`
`Patent Owners object to this document under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, and
`
`403 as lacking relevance and because its probative value is substantially
`
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the
`
`fact finder, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence. Patent Owners also object to this Exhibit as not properly authenticated
`
`under FRE 901 because Petitioner has not presented sufficient evidence that the
`
`document is authentic nor that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owners further object as not being an original document under FRE 1002,
`
`an authentic duplicate under FRE 1003, nor a document that falls under any
`
`exceptions to the original-document requirement, including those of FRE 1004.
`
`Petitioner has not established that Rudnic is a “printed publication” under 35
`
`U.S.C. §102(b) that was published in 2002 at least because the Exhibit bears no
`
`library stamp, the cover page of the Exhibit does not appear to be a photocopy of a
`
`hardcopy textbook, nothing in the Exhibit associates the Rudnic chapter to the
`
`specific version of the textbook, and inconsistent markings within the Exhibit
`
`suggest that it is a compilation of multiple documents pieced together by
`
`Petitioner.
`
`Exhibit 1015
`
`Patent Owners object to Exhibit 1015, what purports to be a copy of
`
`Guidance for Industry: Dissolution Testing of Immediate Release Solid Oral

`Guidance for Industry: Dissolution Testing of Immediate Release Solid Oral
`
`Dosage Forms, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug
`

`
`Patent Owners object to this document under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, and
`
`403 as lacking relevance and because its probative value is substantially
`
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the
`
`fact finder, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence. Petitioner has not established that the FDA Dissolution Guidance is a
`
`“printed publication” under 35 U.S.C. §102(b) by establishing that it was printed
`
`and/or publicly accessible as of a certain date.
