`
`
`Inter Partes Review of US 9,644,169
`
`
`In an e-mail dated October 5, 2021, the Board authorized filing of a three-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`page paper identifying, by page and line, any evidence or argument in the Reply
`
`that it considers to be improper. Petitioner is authorized to file a three-page
`
`response to this submission.
`
`I.
`
`A.
`
`Identification of Improper Evidence and Argument
`
`“Some months” argument and evidence from Ex. 1160
`
`Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 15), p. 20:
`
`Turning to Fricke, it cannot be disputed that Fricke describes cooking krill
`to obtain denatured product that was stored for some months, and that the
`resulting extract possessed 1-3% free fatty acids. Exhibit 1010, pp. 0001-
`0003; Tallon Decl., ¶¶ 303-309; Tallon Reply, ¶¶ 68, 105.
`
`(Emphasis added).
`
`
`
`Support for the phrase “some months” comes from Ex. 1160 which was
`
`newly filed with Petitioner’s Reply. See Tallon Reply (Ex. 1086) ¶¶63-64, 68.
`
`The phrase “some months” does not appear in Ex. 1010 in relation to cooked krill.
`
`This is a new argument and new evidence intended to supplement Petitioner’s
`
`arguments in the Grounds in the Petition and subsequently instituted by the Board.
`
`Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 15), p. 20-21:
`
`The Board also concluded that, based on a subsequent Fricke publication
`(Exhibit 2006), the samples processed in Fricke were extracted after being
`stored “some months.” Id., 21-22; see Tallon Reply, ¶¶ 62-65.
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`Ex. 2006 from IPR2017-00746 is Ex. 1160 in this proceeding, newly filed with
`
`Inter Partes Review of US 9,644,169
`
`
`Petitioner’s Reply. This is a new argument and new evidence intended to
`
`supplement Petitioner’s arguments in the Grounds in the Petition and subsequently
`
`instituted by the Board.
`
`B.
`
`Statement implicating Grounds other than those that were instituted
`
`Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 15), p. 7:
`
`As initial matter, Patent Owner erroneously maintains the claims of the ‘169
`patent must be found patentable if Breivik II is antedated. POR, 6. Patent
`Owner ignores, however, that one or more alternative references are
`provided for every limitation for which Breivik II is cited. See, e.g., Petition,
`69-89.
`
`This statement implies that there are Grounds that do not include Breivik II.
`
`Breivik II is the first reference cited in both instituted Grounds.
