`
`Pursuant to the Board’s Order (Paper 42), Chrimar Systems, Inc. (“Chri-
`
`mar”) moves to strike Petitioners’ Reply (Paper 32). A Petition must identify (i)
`
`all relevant exhibits and (ii) the “specific portions of the evidence that support the
`
`challenge.” 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b)(5). But Petitioners’ Reply introduces significant
`
`new evidence and new arguments, which they could have and should have raised
`
`in their Petition.
`
`The Board may “exclude or give no weight” to such unidentified evidence.
`
`Id.; see also Ariosa Diags. v. Verinata Health, Inc., 805 F.3d 1359, 1367-68 (Fed.
`
`Cir. 2015)(upholding PTAB’s rejection of petitioner’s reliance, in its Reply, on
`
`previously uncited portions of prior art reference); Corning Inc. v. DSM IP Assets
`
`B.V., IPR2013-00052, Paper No. 88 at 16 (PTAB May 1, 2014)(excluding late evi-
`
`dence). Because Petitioners’ new evidence and new arguments are extensive—and
`
`the Board has no obligation “to sort proper from improper portions of the reply”2—
`
`Chrimar moves to strike Petitioners’ entire Reply and its accompanying new exhib-
`
`its.

`

`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01397
`Patent No.: 9,019,838
`
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0111IPR1
`
`The Petition recognized that, for Chrimar’s claims to be found obvious, Peti-
`
`tioners’ needed prior art that disclosed Ethernet equipment, and the Petition’s only
`
`source for such equipment in Ground 1 was Hunter (Ex. 1003). (See, e.g., Pet. at
`
`7.) The Petition asserted that the “10Base-T bus” in Fig.2 (comprising connectors
`
`240, 250) carried Ethernet data. (See, e.g., Pet. at 25-27.) Four times, the Petition
`
`quoted Hunter’s term “isoEthernet®” as something separate and apart from
`
`“Ethernet®,” with no explanation or analysis. (E.g., pp. 7, 27.)
`
`The Reply newly asserts that “Hunter's disclosure of isoEthernet also teaches
`
`Ethernet” and interjects new concepts: “[i]soEthernet...10Base-T and ISDN
`
`modes” and “isoEthernet interfaces.” (Reply at 16:12-14, 20:21-21:4, 23:12-20;
`
`see also Ex. 1046, ¶¶48, 68-69, 74, 80-81.) Crayford’s new expert declaration,
`
`submitted with the Reply, contained even more exposition. (Ex. 1046, ¶¶48, 67-69,
`
`74, 80-81.)
`
`Petitioners know that, if they want to rely on a standard, they were required
`
`by §42.104(b)(5) to include that standard as an exhibit to the Petition, and cite to
`
`specific portions of it, just as they did with the two IEEE 802.3 standards (Exs.
`
`1006-1008) relied on for Ground 2. Nevertheless, the Reply relies on (Reply at
`
`16:12-14, 17:2-7, 23:18) a newly-cited IEEE standard for 802.9 (Ex. 1032) from
`
`1994, purportedly because it details the isoEthernet used in Hunter.
`
`Neither the Petition nor the Reply explain how “isoEthernet®” (in Hunter)
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01397
`Patent No.: 9,019,838
`
`relates to new Ex. 1032. Hunter consistently refers only to the trademarked version
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0111IPR1
`
`“isoEthernet®” (Ex. 2055 at 25:10-14), which Crayford testified is a proprietary
`
`isoEthernet created by National Semiconductor. (Id. at 31:9-21; see also, Pet. p.
`
`27, n. 8.). Neither the Petition nor the Reply links “isoEthernet®” to Ex. 1032. In
`
`addition, when Hunter refers to an IEEE standard, he refers to “IEEE draft standard
`
`802.9a.” (Ex. 1003 at 16:7.) On its face, Ex. 1032 is (1) not for 802.9a (it states
`
`“802.9”), and (2) not a draft (it states “Approved”).
`
`Finally, had the Petition relied on isoEthernet (trademarked or otherwise)
`
`and/or Ex. 1032 as a basis for Ground 1, Chrimar would have provided evidence
`
`with its Response that, as late as 1999, the IEEE isoEthernet committee prohibited
`
`combining phantom-power and Ethernet data signals (“10Base-T mode”) to “in-
`
`sure[] that 10Base-T services are unaffected.” (Ex. 2055 at 38:23-39:18.) Hunter
`
`fails to teach “insur[ing] that 10Base-T services are unaffected” in his phantom
`
`power circuitry, evidence that Hunter does not teach phantom-power combined
`
`with 10Base-T Ethernet data services.
`
`B. New arguments and evidence regarding BSTs and CMCs
`
`Petition Grounds 1 and 2 each propose delivering phantom power when
`
`Ethernet equipment is attached to the proposed phantom-power network. Chrimar
`
`explained in its Response that the proposed Ground 1 and Ground 2 combinations
`
`would not work to solve the problem solved by the Chrimar patents because Peti-
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01397
`Patent No.: 9,019,838
`
`tioners failed to address what happens to existing BSTs and CMCs when phantom
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0111IPR1
`
`power is delivered blindly to Ethernet equipment. (E.g., Res. at 7.)
`
`The Reply addresses the BST and CMC issues for the first time, and adds
`
`new exhibits (Exs. 1021-1024, 1029), new expert testimony (Ex. 1046 ¶¶12-21),
`
`and new arguments (Reply at 3:1--5:17, 8:11-14). But the Petition led to Chrimar’s
`
`Response, so Petitioners cannot excuse their untimely arguments and evidence.
`
`The Petition explained that the Chrimar patents are “directed to equipment
`
`networked over ‘pre-existing wiring or cables that connect pieces of networked
`
`computer equipment to a network’” (Pet. at 3), that “[t]he equipment would be
`
`connected over ‘conventional multi-wire cables that include a plurality of transmit
`
`and receive data communication links [emphasis in Petition]” (id.), and that a
`
`“[POSITA] would be familiar with . . . the behavior of data communications prod-
`
`ucts available on the market” (Ex. 1002, Crayford ¶50).
`
`Petitioners also knew that pre-existing Ethernet equipment included termina-
`
`tions (e.g., BSTs and CMCs) that were essential to the operation of an Ethernet
`
`network. (Ex. 2039 at 45:10-21; Ex. 2055 at 65:13-67:11.) Despite express recog-
`
`nition of this environment for Chrimar’s claimed inventions, the Petition did not
`
`address the effects of the blind-powering on pre-existing BSTs and CMCs.
`
`Petitioners’ proposed Grounds 1 and 2 have no ability to detect if equipment
`
`being attached is legacy equipment with legacy terminations such as BSTs and
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01397
`Patent No.: 9,019,838
`
`CMCs. The Petition, not the Reply, should have: (1) recognized that the “hub”
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0111IPR1
`
`power supply could not know if equipment being attached was legacy equipment,
`
`and (2) explained Petitioners’ views why detection is necessary (or not) for their
`
`proposed combinations to work without disrupting “billions of nodes” containing
`
`legacy Ethernet equipment. (Ex. 2039 at 192:21-193:7.) Those arguments made for
`
`the first time in the Reply, are improper.
`
`C. The Fisher and De Nicolo patents
`
`In Reply, Petitioners argued (Reply at 5:18-8:17, 13:15-21) that Chrimar did
`
`not invent power-over-Ethernet (“PoE”). To support those argument, they added
`
`new exhibits (two Fisher patents and two De Nicolo patents, Exs. 1025-1028) and
`
`a lengthy discussion by Crayford (Ex. 1046 ¶¶27-35). Although Petitioners’ basic
`
`argument that Chrimar did not invent PoE is not new—Petitioners made a similar
`
`argument in the Petition at 4-5— the Petition did not include citations to or analy-
`
`sis of any evidence. Instead, the Petition merely cited as support: “See Ground 1”
`
`and “See Ground 2.” (Pet. at 4-5.)
`
`Moreover, Petitioners’ untimely evidence and argument prevents Chrimar
`
`from establishing that De Nicolo is not prior art to Chrimar’s patents. As Petition-
`
`ers know, in a separate IPR filed against Chrimar based on the De Nicolo patents
`
`(IPR2016-00569), Chrimar established that the De Nicolo patents are not prior art.
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01397
`Patent No.: 9,019,838
`
`(IPR2016-00569 Paper 31 at 17-27). Chrimar has no way to do so in the present
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0111IPR1
`
`IPR because the Petition did not address the De Nicolo patents.
`
`D. New arguments and evidence regarding skepticism
`
`Petitioner has the burden of proof on all elements of its obviousness argu-
`
`ments, including on secondary considerations. Plantronics, Inc. v. Aliph, Inc., 724
`
`F.3d 1343, 1353 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (“The burden of proof lies with the challenger,
`
`and this court has rejected any formal burden-shifting framework in evaluating the
`
`four Graham factors.”). Crayford’s first declaration recognized this obligation and
`
`identified secondary considerations that should have been, but were not, addressed
`
`in the Petition, including “expressions of surprise or skepticism by experts and
`
`those skilled in the art.” (Ex. 1002, ¶30; compare with Pet., which omits Graham)
`
`At the time of his first declaration, Crayford was aware of the IEEE 802.3af
`
`PoE committee. (Ex. 2039 at 187:24-188:25.) Nonetheless, neither he nor the Peti-
`
`tion addressed the skepticism committee members expressed about the suggestion
`
`to apply power to the Ethernet signal-carrying conductors (e.g., Exs. 2040-2046).
`
`Once again, Petitioners were aware of the secondary considerations issues,
`
`but failed to address them in the Petition. In their Reply, they added new exhibits
`
`from the 802.af committee (Exs. 1035-1042), new expert testimony (Ex. 1046,
`
`¶¶36-44), and new attorney argument (Reply at 9:1-10:11). Petitioners could have,
`
`and should have, included this evidence and argument in the Petition.

`

`Case No.: IPR2016-01397
`Patent No.: 9,019,838
`
`E. New evidence regarding CAT-3 & CAT-5 cabling
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: CHRMC0111IPR1
`
`As noted above, the Petition recognized, “The equipment [of Chrimar’s pa-
`
`tent claims] would be connected over ‘conventional multi-wire cables that include
`
`a plurality of transmit and receive data communication links.’” (Pet. at 3, emphasis
`
`in Petition.) Crayford included this same sentence in his first declaration. (Ex.
`
`1002, ¶45.) He testified that he had emphasized “conventional” to highlight “the
`
`fact that it was the existing-the existing media of choice, whether that be category
`
`3 for 10BASE-T or category 5 for 100BASE-T.” (Ex. 2039 at 70:23-71:3, empha-
`
`sis added.) Despite knowing that “conventional” referred to Category 3 (“CAT-3”)
`
`and Category 5 (“CAT-5”) cabling, the Petition and Crayford failed to offer evi-
`
`dence regarding the number of conductors used in CAT-3 and CAT-5 cabling.
`
`When Chrimar explained, “CAT-3 and CAT-5 are cable standards that re-
`
`quire cables with eight conductors twisted into four pairs” (Res. at 19-20), Peti-
`
`tioners, in Reply, added a new exhibit (Ex. 1031) purporting to show that some
`
`CAT-3/CAT-5 cables were sold with only two wire pairs. The Reply included a
`
`new argument (pp. 14:12-15:5) and new expert testimony (Ex. 1046, ¶61), which
`
`Petitioners could have included in their Petition. Had they done so, Chrimar, in its
`
`Response, would have included the cable specification for CAT-3/CAT-5 wiring,
`
`confirming that such cables comprise four wire pairs. (Ex. 2055 at 171:23-176:13.)
