`
` 1 P R O C E E D I N G S
` 2 Whereupon, the telephonic proceeding on April 17,
` 3 2020 was commenced at 10:00 a.m. as follows:
` 4 - - -
` 5 THE COURT: Good morning. This is
` 6 a conference call on IPR2020-00127, -00130, 131,
` 7 133, 134, 136, and 138. This is Judge Paulraj,
` 8 and with me on the line I have Judges Tornquist
` 9 and Snedden.
`10 Let's start with role call. Who do
`11 we have on the line for petitioner?
`12 MR. MORTON: Yes, your Honor. This
`13 is Cy Morton for petitioner. Also on with me is
`14 Chris Pinahs. And I do want to report we have a
`15 court reporter on the line as well.
`16 THE COURT: All right. Thank you,
`17 Mr. Morton.
`18 And then since we do have a court
`19 reporter, I'll have you file the transcript of
`20 the court reporter -- from the court reporter
`21 whenever it's available in each of these cases.
`22 Is that clear?
`23 MR. MORTON: Yes, your Honor.
`24 THE COURT: All right. Since we do
`25 have some other related cases that are in this
` 1 family, go ahead and file the entire set of
` 2 cases. I know that the request for conference
` 3 call was only for perhaps the cases we didn't
` 4 discuss in our prior conference call, but just
` 5 for consistency sake and we have a clear record
` 6 in all these cases, go ahead and file the
` 7 transcript in all these cases.
` 8 MR. MORTON: Sure, your Honor. We
` 9 can probably -- we had a transcript for the last
`10 call, we could go ahead and file that in the --
`11 in these current IPRs we're discussing today as
`12 well.
`13 THE COURT: That makes sense.
`14 Thank you, Counsel.
`15 All right. Who do we have on the
`16 line for patent owner?
`17 MR. VANDENBURGH: Yeah. Thank you,
`18 your Honor. This is Derek Vandenburgh for
`19 Teleflex, and with me on the line is Peter
`20 Kohlhepp.
`21 THE COURT: All right. Thank you,
`22 Mr. Vandenburgh.
`23 So the purpose of this call is
`24 perhaps a follow-up to what we discussed in our
`25 prior conference call for the related set of
`
`Page 5
`
`(763) 591-0535 | info@depointernational.com
`Depo International, Inc.
`
`Page 4
`
`Page 6
`
` 1 cases. So it does appear that petitioner would
` 2 like to file a reply along the same lines as what
` 3 we authorized in the other cases, and I do want
` 4 to -- I know the parties to address the, perhaps
` 5 the intervening order from the District Court.
` 6 We are aware that the District
` 7 Court issued an order on the preliminary
` 8 injunction motion more recently, so -- and it
` 9 looks like petitioner wants to address that in
`10 the surreply, at least for the 134 case.
`11 So if you can address that,
`12 Mr. Morton, and then I'll let Mr. Vandenburgh
`13 respond accordingly.
`14 MR. MORTON: Yes, your Honor.
`15 Absolutely.
`16 So as you've already noted, we've
`17 had reply briefs before on the first six
`18 petitions. We're talking about the next seven
`19 now. If you rule consistently, we would get a
`20 five-page reply brief on the 134 IPR to address
`21 both issues, and maybe three pages on the rest of
`22 them that only have the secondary considerations
`23 issue. And that was our original proposal to
`24 patent owner.
`25 Patent owner's position is that we
` 1 should be limited to filing the identical briefs
` 2 we filed previously. And there's no real basis
` 3 for that. We were never limited to filing the
` 4 same briefs in all IPRs. But to avoid a dispute,
` 5 we agreed to do that on secondary consideration.
` 6 On the swear-behind issue, as
` 7 you've already noted, things have changed with
` 8 the District Court's order in the PI. The
` 9 District Court filed that Medtronic raised a
`10 substantial question about the attempt to swear
`11 behind. And in so doing, your Honor, the Court
`12 relied on documents and evidence that we didn't
`13 have when we filed the IPRs.
`14 For instance, and I'll quote from
`15 the Court on the conception and reduction of
`16 practice issue. The Court said notably a report
`17 dated December 1, 2005, months after Teleflex's
`18 claimed reduction to practice states that, "The
`19 rapid exchange version requires additional
`20 engineering, and is not included in our 2006
`21 forecasts." And it cites to Exhibit 40 on the
`22 route declaration.
`23 So we didn't have this Exhibit 40,
`24 your Honor, and the patent owner didn't attach it
`25 to their POPR. And it seems like an important
`

`Medtronic v. Teleflex
`Medtronic Exhibit 1887 - Page 4
`
`

`

`Telephone Conference - 4/17/2020
`Medtronic, Inc. and Medtronic Vascular, Inc. vs. Teleflex Innovations S.A.R.L.
`
` 1 piece of information. So we would like to point
` 2 that out as additional reasoning for why we
` 3 should not have had to address this in the
` 4 petition and the issue to the reserve for the
` 5 trial phase with a fair process discovery.
` 6 Separate point, your Honor, is that
` 7 the Court also found a substantial question on
` 8 the lack of written description. We've argued
` 9 the same point in the 134 IPR as a basis to
`10 change the priority date so the America Invents
`11 Act would apply, and then the patent owner cannot
`12 swear behind, you know, as a legal matter.
`13 This is new information for the
`14 Board that provides another justification to
`15 commit a reply brief, and we also want to bring
`16 it to the board's attention in the reply brief.
`17 So, your Honor, the easiest thing
`18 to do is to grant reply briefs exactly like last
`19 time and let the parties file their briefs.
`20 That's what would normally happen if you just
`21 looked at these current IPRs standing alone that
`22 we're discussing today.
`23 But we're willing to stick to our
`24 offer that we made to patent owner to file the
`25 same content for secondary considerations. We
` 1 just want to use our very limited gauges a little
` 2 differently for the 134 IPR when it comes to the
` 3 swear-behind issue.
` 4 Thank you, your Honor.
` 5 THE COURT: All right. Thank you,
` 6 Mr. Morton.
` 7 So just to be clear, for the
` 8 current set of cases that I mentioned from the
` 9 numbers at the beginning of this call, the ones
`10 where the Kontos is only an issue, those are the
`11 ones where you're only going to address a
`12 secondary consideration argument in your reply.
`13 And the 134 case, which I think it
`14 sets apart here in terms of the latter set of
`15 cases, addresses Itou again. And that's the one
`16 that you're going to want to address the
`17 swear-behind issue, you know, based on the
`18 District Court's preliminary injunction order; is
`19 that right?
`20 MR. MORTON: Yes, your Honor.
`21 THE COURT: All right. Let me
`22 focus just briefly on the Kontos-based cases. So
`23 those with respect to the secondary
`24 considerations arguments in the reply you're
`25 seeking, you were willing to limit that to just
`
`Page 9
`
`(763) 591-0535 | info@depointernational.com
`Depo International, Inc.
`
`Page 8
`
`Page 10
`
` 1 three pages?
` 2 MR. MORTON: Yes, we can limit that
` 3 to three pages, your Honor.
` 4 THE COURT: Okay. And then the
` 5 Itou, you're not seeking anything beyond five
` 6 pages than we previously authorized to address
` 7 those secondary considerations as a swear-behind
` 8 issue?
` 9 MR. MORTON: No. If you want to
`10 give me six pages, I'll take it, but I think we
`11 can do it.
`12 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you,
`13 Counsel. I'll see if Mr. Vandenburgh will give
`14 you the extra page, if he can stipulate to that.
`15 All right. So you did raise
`16 something else that perhaps wasn't argued in the
`17 prior conference call about the written
`18 description argument. It doesn't look like we
`19 authorized any reply briefs to address the
`20 written description issue.
`21 Is that something you're
`22 additionally seeking in terms of addressing in
`23 your reply for the 134 case?
`24 MR. MORTON: Well, I would like
`25 that, your Honor, because this is new
` 1 information, a finding from the Court on this on
` 2 the same issues that were argued. And it relates
` 3 directly to the swear-behind issue. That's
` 4 something we put in our IPRs. We may have thrown
` 5 it in on our last reply briefs. But basically if
` 6 there's a lack of written description, the date
` 7 moves until -- to make it a post AIA patent, and
` 8 then you can't swear behind the detail reference.
` 9 So it's a related point, but yes,
`10 it is something that's a little bit different
`11 based on the decision from the Court.
`12 THE COURT: All right. Let me turn
`13 it over to Mr. Vandenburgh so he can respond to
`14 the points you just discussed.
`15 MR. VANDENBURGH: Thank you, your
`16 Honor.
`17 I want to start by just pointing
`18 out the irony of the fact that Medtronic wants to
`19 use the fact that the District Court has now dug
`20 in to the substance of these issues to try to
`21 explain why the Board should start what we view
`22 as a redundant and duplicative proceeding.
`23 You know, in granting the prior
`24 briefing, the Board was clear that it didn't want
`25 to hear about the merits of the issues, but
`

`Medtronic v. Teleflex
`Medtronic Exhibit 1887 - Page 5
`
`

`

`Telephone Conference - 4/17/2020

`
` 1 simply the procedural issues of whether they
` 2 should have been addressed in the petitions
` 3 themselves.
` 4 But, you know, the key point
` 5 that -- one of the key points that we've made in
` 6 our POPRs is that we shouldn't have this
` 7 duplicative proceeding, and that, you know,
` 8 Medtronic has known this dispute was coming for
` 9 years and they certainly could have filed for
`10 IPRs years ago and chose not to, chose to wait
`11 until the eve of the preliminary injunction
`12 hearing to file their IPRs to use that as a basis
`13 to prevent a preliminary injunction. And now
`14 they want to go at it the other way and use the
`15 Court's order to convince the Board why they
`16 should grant the petitions or institute the
`17 petitions in this case.
`18 Now, you know, everyone knows that
`19 PIs in patent cases are rarely granted. The
`20 standard to avoid them is low. We are happy, if
`21 the Board wants to hear it, to explain why even
`22 under the preliminary injunction standard the
`23 District Court was wrong in its analysis of prior
`24 invention, was wrong in its analysis of the 112
`25 issue, but what you told us last time is that we
` 1 should only be addressing whether, as a
` 2 procedural matter, Medtronic should have
` 3 addressed the evidence on prior invention that
` 4 they sought out, actively sought out and asked
` 5 for in the District Court and then didn't address
` 6 in their petitions. Those facts have not
` 7 changed.
` 8 I need to point out that once
` 9 again, like in the last hearing, Mr. Morton has
`10 said things that simply are not true. He claims
`11 that there were new exhibits addressed by the --
`12 by the District Court judge that Medtronic didn't
`13 have, that they couldn't address. In fact, he's
`14 talking about exhibits that they put into the
`15 preliminary injunction briefing.
`16 These are certainly documents that
`17 Medtronic had. I think maybe Mr. Morton is again
`18 trying to rely on this distinction of, well, it
`19 wasn't me. But that point has already been
`20 addressed in the briefing.
`21 The bottom line, your Honor, is the
`22 parties have briefed all of these issues
`23 extensively. The Board is going to have its
`24 hands full digesting 13 petitions, 13 POPRs, the
`25 replies and surreplies that have already been
`
`Page 12
`
` 1 filed. Adding yet additional different briefing
` 2 is just not necessary.
` 3 The last point I want to make on
` 4 that 112 issue, which we've heard about for the
` 5 first time this morning, is that we didn't oppose
` 6 that on the merits of the 112 issue. Our point
` 7 and the only point I believe we made in our POPRs
` 8 on the filing date issue is that these are
` 9 reissue patents that by definition can only have
`10 one effective filing date.
`11 So whether or not there's an
`12 underlying 112 issue simply doesn't matter. What
`13 they're really reinforcing is that they're trying
`14 to backdoor a 112 issue into IPRs in a situation
`15 where it isn't merited. And there's again no
`16 need for additional briefing on that point.
`17 And I guess that's all I've got.
`18 THE COURT: All right. Thank you,
`19 Mr. Vandenburgh.
`20 Let me consult with the panel real
`21 quick, and we'll get back to you.
`22 MR. VANDENBURGH: Thank you.
`23 (Brief pause.)
`24 THE COURT: Counsel, this is Judge
`25 Paulraj again. I did consult with the other
`Page 14
` 1 panel members, and here's what we're going to do:
` 2 So the Kontos-based petitions, I
` 3 think that that's a relatively easy issue to
` 4 decide. So we'll go ahead and authorize a
` 5 three-page surreply addressing the burden of
` 6 proof issue with respect to the secondary
` 7 considerations argument as we authorized before.
` 8 I don't think that's in dispute. And so we'll
` 9 limit that to three pages like Mr. Morton said
`10 that that would be sufficient.
`11 Second, the 134, we're going to go
`12 ahead and authorize a five-page reply that
`13 addresses both the burden issue with respect to
`14 secondary considerations, as well as the burden
`15 issue with respect to the -- the backdating
`16 argument. We're not going to authorize any
`17 additional briefing on the written description
`18 issue, other than maybe relevance. It wasn't
`19 presented before, and I don't think it's -- is
`20 something we need to consider at this point.
`21 So the 134 case, just to be clear,
`22 we'll go ahead and authorize a reply that allows
`23 you to address the District Court's preliminary
`24 injunction order, bearing in mind that what we
`25 want to focus on is still whether or not

`

`

`
` 1 petitioner had a burden in the petition to
` 2 address the backdating argument or not. We still
` 3 want to focus on petitioner's burden rather than
` 4 the substance of whether or not -- whether or not
` 5 the -- the mention of backdated or hesitate {ph}
` 6 to reference.
` 7 So with that, we'll go ahead and
` 8 authorize the reply brief due within five
` 9 business days of this conference call, and we'll
`10 authorize a surreply due by the date after
`11 petitioner files its reply.
`12 Any questions about anything I've
`13 said so far?
`14 MR. MORTON: This is Cy Morton for
`15 the petitioner. No questions from me, your
`16 Honor.
`17 MR. VANDENBURGH: Just give me a
`18 moment.
`19 No, your Honor. That's clear.
`20 Thank you.
`21 THE COURT: All right. Since we
`22 have a court reporter, we'll go ahead and have
`23 the court reporter transcript entered in all
`24 these cases, and that will serve as the record of
`25 our order that we're setting for -- we won't
` 1 issue a separate order.
` 2 Just one additional point of
` 3 clarification. Since the District Court PI
` 4 decision, you know, has become an issue, we'd
` 5 like -- and it could just be petitioner because
` 6 petitioner is filing it -- we'd like you guys to
` 7 go ahead and file the District Court decision as
` 8 an exhibit in all these cases so it will be part
` 9 of the record for all these cases so at least we
`10 have some consistency across all these cases in
`11 terms of what the record is.
`12 MR. MORTON: Again, this is Cy
`13 Morton. Understood, your Honor. We'll do that.
`14 THE COURT: All right. With that,
`15 unless there's anything further, we can adjourn
`16 the call.
`17 MR. VANDENBURGH: Thank you, your
`18 Honor.
`19 MR. MORTON: Thank you.
`20 THE COURT: All right. Thank you,
`21 Counsel.
`22 With that, the call is adjourned.

`proceeding was terminated at 10:24 a.m.)
