`
`WAVEFORM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
`Patent Owner
`
`

`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS UNDER
`37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) TO EVIDENCE SERVED
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01679
`Patent 7,146,202
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner WaveForm Technologies,
`
`Inc. files these objections to evidence served by Petitioner Dexcom, Inc. on
`
`August 17, 2017 in support of its Reply in this inter partes review. This notice is
`
`being timely filed within 5 business days of service of the evidence.
`
`
`
`Exhibits 1014, 1015, 1016, and 1017
`In its decision to institute this IPR, the Board expressly excluded these four
`
`exhibits from consideration pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.104(b). See Paper 10 at 18
`
`n. 11. Patent Owner relied on that exclusion in its Patent Owner Response by not
`
`addressing argument relating to the excluded references. See id. at 29 (“[T]he inter
`
`partes review is limited to the grounds of unpatentability listed above, and no other
`
`grounds of unpatentability are authorized for inter partes review”). Patent Owner
`
`therefore objects to these exhibits under 37 C.F.R. § 42.23, the Administrative
`
`Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 551 et seq.), and the Due Process Clause (see U.S.
`
`Const. am. 5).
`
` Exhibits 1018 and 1019
`These exhibits go to the same argument for which excluded Exhibits 1014-
`
`1017 were offered. Petitioner failed to support the argument with admissible
`
`evidence in its Petition, and Patent Owner relied on the exclusion of that evidence
`
`in its Response. Petitioner should not be permitted to add new evidence in its
`
`-2-
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01679
`Patent 7,146,202
`Reply relating to the previously unsupported argument. Accordingly, these exhibits
`
`are submitted in violation of 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b) and Patent Owner objects to
`
`them under 37 C.F.R. § 42.23, the Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 551
`
`et seq.), and the Due Process Clause (see U.S. Const. am. 5).
` Exhibit 1021
`Petitioner submitted this exhibit to support an argument raised for the first
`
`time on Reply, which is directly contrary to multiple clear admissions made in the
`
`Petition. Specifically, Petitioner unambiguously admitted in its Petition that the
`
`’202 sensor is a “wire.” Patent Owner relied on those admissions in its Patent
`
`Owner Response, and has had no fair opportunity to address or respond to new
`
`arguments presented in the Reply that are contrary to those admissions. Patent
`
`Owner therefore objects to this exhibit under 37 C.F.R. § 42.23, the Administrative
`
`Procedures Act (5 U.S.C. §§ 551 et seq.), and the Due Process Clause (see U.S.
`
`Const. am. 5).
