`
`·3· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· This is Case
`
`·4· · · · IPR2019-00202 between BASF and
`
`·5· · · · Ingevity South Carolina
`
`·6· · · · · · · Do we have counsel for BASF on
`
`·7· · · · the line?
`
`·8· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Yes, your Honor.
`
`·9· · · · Lori Gordon from King & Spalding. I
`
`10· · · · am here with Steven Peters and Jim
`
`11· · · · Brogan, and I apologize for my
`
`12· · · · connection.· I am dialing in remotely.
`
`13· · · · I have someone working to hopefully
`
`14· · · · address the connection issues.
`
`15· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·Okay, and I
`
`16· · · · appreciate that as someone who has had
`
`17· · · · connection issues in the past, but if
`
`18· · · · one of your co-counsel would step up
`
`19· · · · and jump in if you get too broken up,
`
`20· · · · I would appreciate that.
`
`21· · · · · · · And do we have the Patent Owner's
`
`22· · · · attorney?
`
`23· · · · · · · MR. BUROKER:· ·Your Honor, this
`
`24· · · · is Brian Buroker and Spencer Ririe is
`
`25· · · · also on the line with me.
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·And who
`
`·3· · · · retained the reporter for today?
`
`·4· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Petitioner did,
`
`·5· · · · your Honor.
`
`·6· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·Okay, Ms.
`
`·7· · · · Gordon, if you would do me a favor and
`
`·8· · · · just file the transcript when you get
`
`·9· · · · it?
`
`10· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Yes, we will, your
`
`11· · · · Honor.· Thank you.
`
`12· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·What w have
`
`13· · · · here is a request for authorization
`
`14· · · · for a reply brief to the preliminary
`
`15· · · · response that the Petitioner wants to
`
`16· · · · file, so I will give the floor to you
`
`17· · · · first Ms. Gordon, to ask for the
`
`18· · · · briefing you want.
`
`19· · · · · · · I appreciate you letting us know
`
`20· · · · just sort of the number of pages you
`
`21· · · · are looking for, the time line you are
`
`22· · · · looking to file in, and, obviously,
`
`23· · · · the subject matter of what you want to
`
`24· · · · address in the brief.
`
`25· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Thank you, your
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · Honor.
`
`·3· · · · · · · So Petitioner requests leave to
`
`·4· · · · reply to Patent Owner's preliminary
`
`·5· · · · response on two very brief points:· If
`
`·6· · · · cause exists in this case to grant
`
`·7· · · · Petitioner's request because Patent
`
`·8· · · · Owner mischaracterized the law of
`
`·9· · · · obviousness as it relates to
`
`10· · · · inherency.· It also mischaracterized
`
`11· · · · Petitioner's arguments.
`
`12· · · · · · · In the petition, Petitioner
`
`13· · · · demonstrated that our primary
`
`14· · · · reference, Baylar (ph), uses the same
`
`15· · · · two state solutions at issue as the
`
`16· · · · 844 patent claims, including the use
`
`17· · · · of a· honeycomb for the subsequent
`
`18· · · · volume.
`
`19· · · · · · · The secondary reference part
`
`20· · · · discloses a method of making this
`
`21· · · · honeycomb.· And what the 844 patent
`
`22· · · · did was created a new metric which it
`
`23· · · · called the IAC to describe its
`
`24· · · · volumes.· And this is not and was not
`
`25· · · · a term of art.
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · · · · So Petitioner demonstrated that
`
`·3· · · · the recited IAC value was inherent
`
`·4· · · · in Baylar in part, because, first, the
`
`·5· · · · 844 admitted that honeycomb made using
`
`·6· · · · Parr had a certain dilution with low
`
`·7· · · · IAC value, and that Parr's preferred
`
`·8· · · · honeycomb has a greater dilution.
`
`·9· · · · Meaning that the IAC value would be
`
`10· · · · lower, in fact, in Parr.
`
`11· · · · · · · And what Patent Owner did was
`
`12· · · · cherry pick language from the Federal
`
`13· · · · Circuit Honeywell case and presented
`
`14· · · · it out of context creating the
`
`15· · · · impression that its claims cannot be
`
`16· · · · obvious as a matter of law based on
`
`17· · · · Petitioner's reliance on inherency to
`
`18· · · · establish the IAC value.
`
`19· · · · · · · And Patent Owner mischaracterizes
`
`20· · · · both Petitioner's arguments and
`
`21· · · · actually contorts the findings of
`
`22· · · · Honeywell.· They argue that the
`
`23· · · · capacity limitation recited in the
`
`24· · · · claim cannot be inherent in Honeywell,
`
`25· · · · even though volumes with such a low
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · capacity existed.
`
`·3· · · · · · · And Patent Owner further argued
`
`·4· · · · that Paceda (ph) would not have
`
`·5· · · · expected a low capacity volume to
`
`·6· · · · perform well for the application
`
`·7· · · · disclosed in the 844 patent.· But that
`
`·8· · · · is not our argument, and, in fact, it
`
`·9· · · · is not the law.
`
`10· · · · · · · The Honeywell case said what is
`
`11· · · · important regarding properties that
`
`12· · · · may be inherent but unknown is whether
`
`13· · · · they are unexpected.· And Petitioner
`
`14· · · · argued that it was inherent that
`
`15· · · · Parr's honeycomb had this low IAC
`
`16· · · · value --
`
`17· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·Ms. Gordon, you
`
`18· · · · broke up there.· You may want to skip
`
`19· · · · back two or three sentences and try
`
`20· · · · again.
`
`21· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· Patent Owner argued
`
`22· · · · that the low capacity limitations
`
`23· · · · accepted in the claim cannot be
`
`24· · · · inherent under Honeywell, because even
`
`25· · · · though these volumes with low capacity
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · existed, Paceda would not have
`
`·3· · · · expected a low capacity value to
`
`·4· · · · perform well for the application
`
`·5· · · · disclosed in the 844 Patent.
`
`·6· · · · · · · But that is not Petitioner's
`
`·7· · · · argument or the law.· In fact,
`
`·8· · · · Honeywell's finding is what is
`
`·9· · · · important regarding properties that
`
`10· · · · may be inherent but unknown is whether
`
`11· · · · they are unexpected.· And Petitioner
`
`12· · · · argued that it was inherent that
`
`13· · · · Parr's honeycomb had a low IAC value;
`
`14· · · · therefore, under the reasoning of
`
`15· · · · Honeywell, the question is whether the
`
`16· · · · recited IAC was unexpected, which
`
`17· · · · Petitioner demonstrated, and Patent
`
`18· · · · Owner admitted in his own patent, was
`
`19· · · · not unexpected due to the metric
`
`20· · · · dilution of carbon.
`
`21· · · · · · · And, in fact, what Patent Owner
`
`22· · · · has essentially done was create a new
`
`23· · · · burden on Petitioner arguing that it
`
`24· · · · was our burden to demonstrate that the
`
`25· · · · inherent property was expected.· But,
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · in fact, that that's not the law.
`
`·3· · · · · · · The Petitioner could not have
`
`·4· · · · anticipated that Patent Owner would
`
`·5· · · · mischaracterize the case law and
`
`·6· · · · create a new burden on Petitioner,
`
`·7· · · · and, furthermore, mischaracterized our
`
`·8· · · · argument, which was very
`
`·9· · · · straightforward.
`
`10· · · · · · · Now Petitioner recognizes that
`
`11· · · · the Board understands the law of
`
`12· · · · obviousness and inherency, but in
`
`13· · · · cases like this, Petitioner has good
`
`14· · · · cause and, in fact, in the Neptune
`
`15· · · · Generics' case this last month, the
`
`16· · · · Board granted Petitioner a reply to
`
`17· · · · appeal PR in a similar situation where
`
`18· · · · the Patent Owner mischaracterized the
`
`19· · · · law of obviousness.
`
`20· · · · · · · Thank you, your Honor.
`
`21· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·Do you have a
`
`22· · · · cite for that Neptune Generics' case?
`
`23· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Yes, I do.· It is
`
`24· · · · IPR2019136, page 111.
`
`25· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·And maybe you
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · said it and I just missed it, what are
`
`·3· · · · you seeking in terms of filing
`
`·4· · · · timeline and pages?
`
`·5· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Yes, your Honor.
`
`·6· · · · · · · So because the issue that we
`
`·7· · · · would like to address is very narrow,
`
`·8· · · · we would be seeking a five-page brief
`
`·9· · · · and we would only be seeking five
`
`10· · · · business days to file.
`
`11· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· All right.
`
`12· · · · · · · Mr. Buroker, do you want to
`
`13· · · · respond?
`
`14· · · · · · · MR. BUROKER:· ·I do, your Honor.
`
`15· · · · · · · I would like to say that we don't
`
`16· · · · think that good cause has been shown
`
`17· · · · in this case.· It is very rare for the
`
`18· · · · Board to grant leave for a reply to a
`
`19· · · · preliminary Patent Owner's response
`
`20· · · · when the argument is that the law has
`
`21· · · · been mischaracterized.· And the law
`
`22· · · · has not been mischaracterized.
`
`23· · · · · · · We stand by the statements in our
`
`24· · · · brief.· We cited and quoted from
`
`25· · · · Honeywell directly.· It is a
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · subsequent case, the 2017 opinion to
`
`·3· · · · the Parr case that the Petitioner
`
`·4· · · · cited.· And the case that Petitioner
`
`·5· · · · cited, the Parr case, makes very clear
`
`·6· · · · that if you are using inherency with
`
`·7· · · · an obviousness context, it should be
`
`·8· · · · very narrow and limited, and that
`
`·9· · · · there is a very high burden.
`
`10· · · · · · · And what the Honeywell case goes
`
`11· · · · on to say in 2017 is to add more
`
`12· · · · clarity on what that burden requires,
`
`13· · · · and that's what we are pointing out,
`
`14· · · · that they hadn't met their burden,.
`
`15· · · · · · · And we don't mischaracterize
`
`16· · · · their argument.· Of course, that is up
`
`17· · · · to the Panel to decide, but that's
`
`18· · · · again an issue for you all to decide
`
`19· · · · and I don't think subsequent briefing
`
`20· · · · is really necessary at this point.
`
`21· · · · · · · You can read the briefs, you can
`
`22· · · · read the law, and decide whether or
`
`23· · · · not what they are saying is true. I
`
`24· · · · don't know what the benefit of five
`
`25· · · · additional pages for them to make
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · argument about the law, which was
`
`·3· · · · their burden in the first place.
`
`·4· · · · The question is why they didn't
`
`·5· · · · address Honeywell in the first
`
`·6· · · · instance, when it is a more recent
`
`·7· · · · recitation of what has to be shown to
`
`·8· · · · do inherency within an obviousness
`
`·9· · · · context.
`
`10· · · · · · · Again, why did they not address
`
`11· · · · that case in their initial petition if
`
`12· · · · that was their main argument, which it
`
`13· · · · is.· So that's why we don't think a
`
`14· · · · reply is appropriate in these
`
`15· · · · circumstances.
`
`16· · · · · · · If your Honors disagree and are
`
`17· · · · inclined to grant a reply, we would
`
`18· · · · respectfully request a similar length
`
`19· · · · sur-reply.· But, again, we don't think
`
`20· · · · that it is necessary under the facts
`
`21· · · · presented here.
`
`22· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·You mentioned
`
`23· · · · the sort of the legal issues.· My
`
`24· · · · understanding was that Petitioner also
`
`25· · · · wants to address what they claim are
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · mischaracterizations of their
`
`·3· · · · position.
`
`·4· · · · · · · Can I have your response on that?
`
`·5· · · · · · ·Obviously, you don't think you
`
`·6· · · · mischaracterized, but if there is even
`
`·7· · · · indication that there was, why you
`
`·8· · · · think a response is not valid at this
`
`·9· · · · point?
`
`10· · · · · · · MR. BUROKER:· ·Well, when we
`
`11· · · · talked to them about this, it seemed
`
`12· · · · the two were tied together.· Their
`
`13· · · · argument is we mischaracterized their
`
`14· · · · argument and that that's why our
`
`15· · · · citation to Honeywell didn't apply.
`
`16· · · · So I don't even really appreciate why
`
`17· · · · we supposedly mischaracterized their
`
`18· · · · argument.
`
`19· · · · · · · I see them as two -- the same
`
`20· · · · issue.· The initial e-mail about
`
`21· · · · seeking a sur-reply seemed to present
`
`22· · · · them as the same issue.· So, again, I
`
`23· · · · don't think that we have
`
`24· · · · mischaracterized their argument, and I
`
`25· · · · see it tied up with whether the law is
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · correct or not.
`
`·3· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· Okay.
`
`·4· · · · · · · Ms. Gordon, I will give you the
`
`·5· · · · last word as the party seeking relief
`
`·6· · · · · · ·Is there anything you want to
`
`·7· · · · address?
`
`·8· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Yes.
`
`·9· · · · · · · I think essential to this is
`
`10· · · · Patent Owner's mischaracterizing of
`
`11· · · · Petitioner argument.· And there was an
`
`12· · · · absolute mischaracterization.
`
`13· · · · · · · We argued that the low IAC value
`
`14· · · · was that which is inherent, and they
`
`15· · · · switched it, in fact, morphing it into
`
`16· · · · almost a secondary consideration
`
`17· · · · argument, arguing that it was the use
`
`18· · · · of this low IAC value and the
`
`19· · · · subsequent volume and that nobody
`
`20· · · · expected it to perform well.
`
`21· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·Ms. Gordon, I
`
`22· · · · don't understand.
`
`23· · · · · · · If this is the argument you made
`
`24· · · · in the petition and they
`
`25· · · · mischaracterized it in the preliminary
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · response, why can't we just look at
`
`·3· · · · the briefs, and reading your petition,
`
`·4· · · · know what you argued.· I don't
`
`·5· · · · understand why further briefing is
`
`·6· · · · warranted in that situation.
`
`·7· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·Because I think
`
`·8· · · · what Patent Owner has done has taken
`
`·9· · · · this one step further, and to clarify
`
`10· · · · this for the Board, what they have
`
`11· · · · done is tried to take Honeywell, and
`
`12· · · · although they did cite directly, you
`
`13· · · · can cite directly to a case and still
`
`14· · · · mischaracterize the application.· And
`
`15· · · · that's what they have done.
`
`16· · · · · · · So we seek to clarify this for
`
`17· · · · the Board in our subsequent briefing,
`
`18· · · · and to also address this notion where
`
`19· · · · they have created this additional
`
`20· · · · burden where they place the burden on
`
`21· · · · Petitioner to establish the IAC value
`
`22· · · · was expected.· And that's just not the
`
`23· · · · case law.
`
`24· · · · · · · So we understand that the Board
`
`25· · · · can review the briefs and appreciate
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · the Board can recognize where the
`
`·3· · · · issues lie, but we also acknowledge
`
`·4· · · · that the Board in past cases has
`
`·5· · · · granted a reply to the preliminary
`
`·6· · · · response on the same point where there
`
`·7· · · · has been mischaracterizations of the
`
`·8· · · · law on obviousness as it relates to
`
`·9· · · · the facts of the case.
`
`10· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·Is there a
`
`11· · · · reason why you didn't address
`
`12· · · · Honeywell in your petition if it is a
`
`13· · · · case that is relevant to the issue
`
`14· · · · that's at issue in this case?
`
`15· · · · · · · MS. GORDON:· ·We have cited case
`
`16· · · · law to support our arguments, and we
`
`17· · · · have cited what we most on point
`
`18· · · · cases.· We did not expect that the
`
`19· · · · Patent Owner would pick the Honeywell
`
`20· · · · case and recite it and try to use its
`
`21· · · · language out of context in the way
`
`22· · · · that they did.
`
`23· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·I think I have
`
`24· · · · heard enough.· I will take a quick
`
`25· · · · second to confer with the panel, so I
`
`

`

`·1· · · · · · · · ·Proceedings
`
`·2· · · · will put you on hold and we will be
`
`·3· · · · back in just a minute.
`
`·4· · · · · · · (Whereupon, at this time, the
`
`·5· · · · Panel conferred off the record.)
`
`·6· · · · · · · JUDGE CRUMBLEY:· ·The Panel is
`
`·7· · · · back on the line.
`
`·8· · · · · · · We have conferred and we are
`
`·9· · · · going to take Petitioner's request
`
`10· · · · under advisement.· We want to look at
`
`11· · · · the briefing a little bit closer and
`
