`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Authorization for the use of a joint caption page was received on April 27,
`2020. Neither party opposes the use of a joint caption page. An identical paper has
`been filed in each case recited in the consolidated caption.
`
`

`

`
`
`Patent Owner Allergan Industrie, SAS, (“Allergan”), respectfully requests
`
`oral argument in the above-captioned IPR proceedings on issues related to U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 8,450,475; 8,357,795; 9,238,013; 9,358,322; 8,822,676; and
`
`9,089,519. Patent Owner intends to present arguments on the following issues:
`
`1. All grounds on which trials were instituted, including all issues raised by the
`
`parties’ papers;
`
`2. Any issue raised by either party in a motion to exclude, objections to
`
`demonstrative exhibits, Patent Owner's Identification of Improper New
`
`Arguments and Evidence, or any other motion or paper filed by either party
`
`before oral argument;
`
`3. Rebuttal to any issue raised by Petitioner during its presentation at oral
`
`argument; and
`
`4. Any additional issue on which the Board seeks information or clarification.
`
`
`
`The Board has scheduled Oral Argument in the above-captioned proceedings
`
`to be held on January 12, 2021. See, e.g., IPR2019-01617, Paper 18. While the
`
`parties and counsel are the same in all proceedings, the IPRs have been assigned to
`
`two panels: a first panel (Administrative Patent Judges New, Snedden and Pollock)
`
`for IPR2019-01505, IPR2019-01508, IPR2019-01509, IPR2019-01617 and
`
`IPR2020-00084; and a second panel (Administrative Patent Judges Obermann,
`
`Snedden and Pollock) for IPR2019-01506 and IPR2019-01632. Patent Owner
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`respectfully suggests that with 7 IPRs, 6 patents, 28 grounds, and 2 panels, a
`
`combined, two-day hearing the week of January 12, 2021, for all proceedings is
`
`appropriate.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner further requests that each party be given ninety (90) minutes
`
`of time each day for its respective presentation, inclusive of any time reserved for
`
`rebuttal. Since Prollenium has raised a variety of similar, though not identical,
`
`grounds across these proceedings, Patent Owner has organized Petitioner’s
`
`grounds across the seven IPRs into four related Groups. Group A comprises 12
`
`total obviousness grounds—11 pertaining to Lebreton and Sadozai, plus 1 ground
`
`based on the CTA Summary in the -1632 IPR—that appear in all seven petitions,
`
`as do the 8 Group B grounds, pertaining to Kinney and Zhao. Group C grounds,
`
`citing Reinmuller and Lebreton, are only raised in the -1506, -1508, and -1509
`
`IPRs, and Group D grounds, which cite four different references for anticipation,
`
`are only raised in the -0084 IPR. Appendix A attached provides further detail on
`
`these Groups. For the sake of efficiency, Patent Owner suggests that the Board
`
`divide the issues for presentation as follows:
`
`DAY 1
`
`DAY 2
`
`
`
`
`
`State of the Art
`Group A: Lebreton + Sadozai (& CTA Summary in -1632 IPR)
`Group B: Kinney + Zhao
`Group C: Reinmuller + Lebreton (-1506, -1508, -1509 IPRs)
`Group D: Anticipation Grounds (-0084 IPR)
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`On Day 1, the parties would address the State of the Art, which would be
`
`common across all proceedings, and the Group A grounds. On Day 2, the three
`
`remaining groups would be addressed in sequence. The parties would first argue
`
`the Group B grounds, followed by Group C grounds and then Group D grounds.
`
`
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner have met and conferred to discuss the oral
`
`argument and while the parties currently disagree, they have agreed to continue
`
`discussions further and to jointly request a pre-hearing conference call prior to oral
`
`argument.
