`Inter Partes Review of US 9,816,046
`
`
`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.
`
`Identification of Improper Evidence and Argument
`
`“Some months” arguments and evidence from Ex. 1160
`
`Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 15), p. 21-22:
`
`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., ¶ 297-304;
`Tallon Reply, ¶¶ 74, 111.
`
`(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) ¶¶69-70, 74.
`
`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. 22:
`
`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; Tallon Reply, ¶¶ 68-71.
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`Ex. 2006 from IPR2017-00746 is Ex. 1160 in this proceeding, newly filed with
`
`Inter Partes Review of US 9,816,046
`
`
`Petitioner’s Reply as discussed above. 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.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Respectfully submitted,
`
`Dated: November 9, 2021
