`RE: IPR2020-01520, -01536, -01537, -01538, and -01539: Request re Motions for
`Observations
`
`[This email originated outside of F&R.]
`
`Counsel:  The Board has reviewed Petitioner’s e‐mail request for authorization to file a motion for observations, or 
`alternatively a chart identifying cross‐examination testimony that provides context, as well as Patent Owner’s e‐mail 
`opposition, and the authorities cited by both parties.  No conference call is necessary to discuss these issues. 
`
`Petitioner is authorized to file a Paper in each proceeding identifying Dr. Kenny’s cross‐examination testimony that 
`provides the context Petitioner desires the Board to consider, in a concise fashion without argument that focuses on key 
`portions of the testimony rather than every point of disagreement.  Thus, the identifications should be a listing taking 
`the form of: “In response to Patent Owner’s citation to the transcript at ___, Petitioner cites the transcript at ___ for 
`context.”  The entire listing in each proceeding may not exceed one page in length, and must comply with the Board’s 
`general format requirements of 37 C.F.R. 42.6(a).  The Papers must be filed no later than November 22, 2021, to afford 
`Patent Owner an adequate opportunity to address the Papers during oral argument on December 7, 2021.  Each Paper 
`shall be accompanied by a copy of this e‐mail authorization, filed as an Exhibit in the proceeding record.

`
`Your Honors, 
`
`As Counsel for Petitioner Apple mentioned below, Patent Owner Masimo opposes Apple’s requests to file a motion for 
`observations or a chart identifying portions of Dr. Kenny’s testimony.   Masimo objects to Apple’s citation to 
`discontinued Board practice and asks the Board to disregard Apple’s citations or, in the alternative, consider Masimo’s 
`citations.  See, e.g., 2019 Consolidated Trial Practice Guide at 1, 74 (discontinuing motions for observations); Schott 
`Gemtron Corp. v. SSW Holding Co., Inc., IPR2013‐00358, Paper 77 at 3 (PTAB 2014) (declining request to file a party’s 
`observations on its own witness); see also Biodelivery Sciences Int’l, Inc. v. Monosol RX, LLC, IPR2015‐00165, Paper 41 at 
`3‐4 (PTAB 2015) (declining to apply Zhongshan); Seagate Technology Holdings, Inc. v. Enova Tech. Corp., IPR2014‐01178, 
`Paper 45 at 2‐7 (PTAB 2015) (same).  Compare Zhongshan Broad Ocean Motor Co., Ltd. et al. v. Nidec Motor Corp., 
`IPR2014‐01121, Paper 34 at 2 (PTAB 2015) (granting request where full transcripts of the deponents were unavailable to 
`the Board); Micron Tech., Inc. v. Innovative Memory Sys., Inc., IPR2016‐00330, Paper 40 at 2‐3 (PTAB 2017) (motion was 
`unopposed).  Masimo further notes that Apple previously opposed a similar request to the Board, and the Board sided 
`with Apple by not authorizing any additional briefing.  See Apple, Inc. v. Farstone Tech., Inc., IPR2015‐00599, Paper 17 at 
`2‐3 (PTAB 2016).

`
`Your Honors, 
`
`Patent Owner Masimo’s sur‐replies in each of the IPR2020‐01520, ‐01536, ‐01537, ‐01538, and ‐01539 proceedings cite 
`to excerpts of Dr. Thomas Kenny’s September 18, 2021 cross‐examination testimony; Petitioner Apple believes that 
`identification of uncited testimony that provides context for the relied‐upon excerpts would be helpful in advance of 
`oral hearing.   
`
`2
`
`

`

`Accordingly, pursuant to 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,767‐68 (Aug. 14, 2012), Apple requests authorization to file a motion 
`for observations regarding Dr. Kenny’s cross‐examination testimony in each of the above‐captioned proceedings.   
`
`Alternatively, Apple requests authorization to file, as an exhibit in each of the above‐captioned proceedings, a chart that 
`identifies cross‐examination testimony that provides context for excerpts of testimony relied upon by Masimo.  See, e.g., 
`Zhongshan Broad Ocean Motor Co., Ltd. et al. v. NIDEC Motor Corp., IPR2014‐01122 Pap. 34 (PTAB Sept. 10, 2015); 
`Micron Technology, Inc. v. Innovative Memory Systems, Inc., IPR2016‐00330 Pap. 33 (March 8. 2017).      
`
`Counsel for Apple and counsel for Masimo have met and conferred regarding these requests.  Masimo opposes Apple’s 
`requests.   
`
`Should the Board desire a call to discuss Apple’s requests, the parties are jointly available this Wednesday (11/10) and 
`Friday (11/12) from 12:00 – 5:00 pm Eastern. 
`
`Respectfully submitted, 
`
`Andrew Patrick
