` JUDGE HAMANN: Good afternoon.
` This call is in IPR2019-00819 and -00820,
`Apple Inc. v MPH Technologies Oy.
` I'm Judge Hamann.
` Also on the line are Judges Jivani and
`Margolies.
` I'd like to begin by petitioner identifying
`who is on the line on his behalf.
` MR. BLOCK: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
` This is Daniel Block of the law firm of Sterne
`Kessler on behalf of Apple.
` With me today on the phone is Michael Specht,
`also of Sterne Kessler. I'll be doing the argument.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Anyone else for petitioner?
` MR. BLOCK: And, Your Honor, one other point.
`There is a court reporter on the line as well.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Okay. I'd ask that the parties
`arrange to have a transcript filed as soon as
`reasonable.
` MR. BLOCK: Okay.
` JUDGE HAMANN: And for the patent owner,
`please identify who is on the line on the court's

`behalf.
` MR. SCHREINER: Good afternoon, Your Honor.
` This is Steven Schreiner from Carmichael IP on
`behalf of MPH Technologies.
` I'm joined by my colleague, James Carmichael,
`of Carmichael IP, also representing MPH Technologies.
` JUDGE HAMANN: And forgive me. Schreiner?
` MR. SCHREINER: I'm sorry. Schreiner,
`S-c-h-r-e-i-n-e-r.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Thank you. Sorry about that.
` So that's everyone for the parties who have
`been identified?
` MR. SCHREINER: Correct.
` MR. BLOCK: Yes, Your Honor, for petitioner.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Okay. My understanding is
`we're here at petitioner's request. So let me have
`petitioner begin.
` MR. BLOCK: Thank you, Your Honor.
` And again, Daniel Block for Apple Inc.
` Your Honor, as I already now mentioned, we're
`requesting a motion to strike in this case. It's a
`narrow motion to strike. It's a narrow motion to

`
`strike just for a single section of the sur reply,
`Section 2.
` And if Your Honors don't feel that's
`appropriate, in the alternative, we'd ask for an
`additional sur-sur reply, a short sur-sur reply to
`address the new arguments that patent owner raised in
`the sur reply.
` Your Honors, the Trial Practice Guide says a
`sur reply should be in the scope of the reply. And it
`actually gives, I think, a very appropriate example in
`here, which is on page 81 of the Trial Practice Guide.
` And it says, "For example, where reply clearly
`relies on a new theory not included in the prior
`briefing, striking the portion of the brief containing
`that theory may be appropriate."
` And that's precisely the situation that we
`have here.
` MPH is raising a brand new theory in their sur
`reply that a person of ordinary skill in the art would
`not combine the two references because of some alleged
`security flaw.
` And in fact, if you look at the sur reply -- I

`
`believe it's on page 5 of the first footnote -- MPH
`concedes that it is, in fact, a new theory.
` They say on page 5 in that footnote -- they
`state petitioner allegedly was aware of that flaw,
`which is not true, but neither the reply or its expert
`supplemental declaration addressed that security flaw.
` So we have the petitioner -- the patent owner,
`rather, admitting that that was not something that was
`in the reply and this is, in fact, a new theory.
` You'll likely hear from patent owner that
`they're just responding to our arguments. And they
`may point you to the first portion of page 2, where
`they set what I think is, in effect, a smoke screen
`here, where they try to say that they're responding to
`our apply.
` But if you look at the beginning of page 2,
`you can see how that actually cites to a portion of
`the petition, which they excerpt, which again raises
`the argument that they're allegedly responding to.
` So this is an argument that was raised in the
`petition, consistently repeated through the reply.
`And if patent owner wanted to respond to it in the way

`
`they wanted to respond to it, they could have done so
`in the patent owner response.
` Instead, they waited to the sur reply, where
`we have no ability to respond.
` And for that reason, Your Honor, we think a
`motion to strike is appropriate. Again, a narrow
`motion to strike, which is just Section 2 of the sur
`reply.
` JUDGE HAMANN: This is Judge Hamann. Let me
`ask you this, if I could. You know, our Trial
`Practice Guide is pretty clear that in most cases, the
`board is capable of identifying, you know, potentially
`new issues or whatnot, and therefore, giving it the
`appropriate weight and maybe affording in light of
`(inaudible) et cetera.
` What is your response to why this is not most
`cases?
` MR. BLOCK: Well, I think, Your Honor, two
`reasons for that.
` First of all, you know, this is -- this is a
`brand new technical argument that we did not have the
`opportunity to respond to. And again, they waited

`
`until the last minute to bring this up.
` And I think the reason why this is the most
`cases is we even have a situation here where patent
`owner has conceded, in effect, this is an argument
`that's a brand new argument.
` That is, I think, outside the scope of the
`rules, and that's why we believe a motion to strike is
`appropriate here.
` And one other point. And if I didn't make
`this clear, when I say "Section 2," I mean of both
`proceedings. The sur replies are effectively the same
`across both proceedings.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Okay. And I don't want to
`belabor this point, but I think it's helpful. To the
`extent this is potentially identified as a footnote,
`it seems like it's something that the board is
`certainly capable of recognizing, and evaluating
`whether it's new or not and giving it weight or not,
`depending upon whether it is in the proper scope to
`try to understand the reason that this is different
`than most cases where additional briefing or whatnot
`may be warranted when, you know, it seems clear that

`
`the board can identify what the issue is and decide
`for itself whether or not it's within the proper
`scope.
` MR. BLOCK: Yeah. So I mean, this goes
`towards the fundamental aspect of our petition; right?
`So it cuts to the heart of it, whether you would
`combine the two references in the ground. And this is
`the brand new theory. And I think without the ability
`to respond to this theory -- again, it's in this last
`paper -- that leaves the motion to strike as the only
`way to cure what I think could be significant
`prejudice to petitioner here.
` You know, again, as I mentioned earlier, I
`think in the alternative, we would accept, you know,
`some short response paper. But you know, I think,
`first and foremost, a motion to strike is appropriate
`here. Because again, this is clearly outside the
`scope and it cuts to the heart of the issue, whether
`you would combine these references set forth in our
`grounds.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Patent owner, please, response.
` MR. SCHREINER: Yes, Your Honor.

`
` First, two responses to petitioner's,
`counsel's, points. This is not a narrow motion to
`strike. This is 13 out of 25 pages. That's over
`50 percent of patent owner's sur reply.
` Second, patent owner didn't admit this is a
`new theory. MPH was responding to the petitioner
`finally elucidating and stating clearly what its
`petition was in the reply.
` Under the Trial Practice Guide, the patent
`owner is entitled to respond to arguments made in the
`reply, as well as to respond to petitioner's experts
`reply declaration. And patent owner did just that.
` Let me just start out with just a -- maybe
`with a minor point at this juncture, but petitioner
`has provided no justification for this late request
`for this motion to strike, which is described in the
`Trial Practice Guide as an "exceptional remedy."
` We were in contact with petitioner's counsel
`on an almost daily basis during this period. A
`meet-and-confer was held the day that the request for
`relief was required. And petitioner, for whatever
`reason, chose not to file an email request with the

`
`board.
` Secondly, as Your Honor pointed out, the board
`is perfectly capable of determining if an argument is
`new or evidence is new, and assigning it the proper
`weight, if any.
` Third, the sur reply should be to reply in
`arguments raised in the reply as well as any new
`expert declaration, and patent owner did just that.
` If Your Honor has patent owner's sur reply
`available -- this would be for the 8/19 proceeding,
`paper 29. If Your Honor has that available on page 4.
`If Your Honor could indicate if and when he's able to
`locate page 4 of the sur reply...
` JUDGE HAMANN: Let me suggest this. You know,
`obviously, this call is focused on whether a motion
`should be -- is something we'll permit. So I don't
`want to get too much into the details, in a sense, of
`you know, whether or not this is, you know, a new
`theory or not a new theory. That is something, you
`know, obviously, the practice guide suggests we can
`determine at the appropriate time, in most cases, on
`our own.

`
` So to the extent that, you know, I think an
`argument that, you know, this truly is new or not new,
`those arguments, at this point, may be premature, and
`not needed.
` So I don't know exactly where you're heading,
`but I would suggest this is not necessarily the forum
`to get into, you know, whether or not this is truly
`new.
` MR. SCHREINER: Where I was headed was I was
`going to point to the fact that patent owner cut and
`pasted diagrams from petitioner's supplemental
`declaration, submitted with this reply brief, and
`explained why the particular limitation that
`petitioner finally made clear had a fatal security
`defect. And so patent owner was directly responding
`to the supplemental expert declaration that the
`petitioner submitted, which is permitted, of course,
`under the Trial Practice Guide.
` Look, there was a deposition conducted in
`March in which this issue came up. Petitioner's
`counsel asked the patent owner's expert about this
`issue, this particular limitation, and elicited

`

`
`testimony on it, which opened the door and led to
`redirect and evidence on this very issue.
` So the point is the petitioner -- and the
`petitioner was not unaware of this issue. This
`happened in March, and petitioner's reply was due in
`April. Petitioner could have addressed this issue in
`the paper, but petitioner chose not to address it in
`the reply paper and chose not to have the expert
`address it in the expert declaration.
` From patent owner's vantage, it appears that
`petitioner is trying to avoid the merits of the issue
`and trying to find a procedural loophole to have this
`entire issue excised from the record.
` And what we'd be talking about, if the board
`was to grant some sort of supplemental relief to
`petitioner, then patent owner would request a like
`paper. And so we'd be talking about a sur-sur-sur
`reply, which we would submit is inconsistent with the
`goal of IPR as being compact, streamlined proceedings
`without ad-infinitum briefing like this.

`to what you've already covered, let me get a response

`
`from petitioner and then my colleagues.
` Mr. Block.
` MR. BLOCK: Yes, Your Honor.
` Just one point on the deposition and us being
`aware of the issue. I don't think that's an accurate
`portrayal of the deposition. I think it's a very
`charitable portrayal. What actually happened was the
`vast majority of his testimony, as you can see from
`the sur reply, was elicited during redirect. And that
`was properly objected to at the time as being outside
`of the cross-examination.
` And so, you know, to the extent that the board
`decides to authorize a motion to strike, you know, we
`would likely certainly bring that into this as well,
`given the fact that the testimony elicited during
`redirect was improper as well.
` MR. SCHREINER: Your Honor, could I just add
`one response to the comment made by counsel?
` JUDGE HAMANN: Please. Go ahead.
` MR. SCHREINER: In the deposition, page 200,
`lines 19 through 20, counsel, Mr. Block, stated, "I
`will concede on the first" -- when he was objecting to

`
`another matter -- "I will concede on the first point
`that he did mention something about the security
`flaw."
` Okay. This is what this is all about.
` JUDGE HAMANN: Okay. Let me, petitioner,
`Mr. Block, ask you this. If you could speak to -- and
`I think the only issue I haven't heard the parties
`address -- at least petitioner hasn't addressed the
`timeliness of the request. What is your response to
`that, Mr. Block?
` MR. BLOCK: Sure. Absolutely, Your Honor.
`I'll keep it brief, I promise.
` So, you know, with respect to the timeliness,
`we reached out to patent owner pretty -- I think
`within three days of receiving the sur reply to
`schedule a meet-and-confer. We went back and forth
`over email for several days, and we didn't end up
`meeting, I believe, because of issues with patent
`owner until the single -- the last day of this
`one-week period -- of this one-week period that's
`suggested in the Trial Practice Guide.
` I guess two points on that.

`
` One, I don't think there's a rule in the Trial
`Practice Guide that says you have to make a request
`within one week. But I think more importantly, I
`don't see any prejudice that patent owner has here.
` The request was, even by their own account,
`just two days after that one-week period. And you
`know, from our perspective, it seems hard to
`understand what prejudice patent owner would have on
`just a two-day delay with respect to that time frame.
` JUDGE HAMANN: To the extent we were to allow
`the sur-sur reply, what are petitioner's thoughts as
`to a scheduling deadline?
` MR. BLOCK: Deadline, I think within five
`business days is fine. In terms of pages, five pages
`or less.
` JUDGE HAMANN: And for patent owner -- and
`this is just trying to get some information before I
`confer with my colleagues -- what would the patent
`owner's thoughts be as to the deadline?
` MR. SCHREINER: As with the original sur
`reply, patent owner would ask for five days' response.
