`
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Patent Owner’s Motion To Exclude, Paper 23 (hereinafter “PO Mot. Excl.”)
`
`asserts an erroneous and contradictory standard. Patent Owner at various points
`
`contends that rebuttal evidence must both (1) be exactly the same as the evidence
`
`offered in support of the petition and (2) must not have been previously known to
`
`the petitioner. Neither is correct. Rebuttal evidence simply expounds upon
`
`evidence from the petition that established a prima facie case, in rebuttal to those
`
`parts of the case to which Patent Owner has chosen to respond. For the reasons
`
`explained below, the entirety of Dr. Murthy’s testimony (Ex. 1048) is proper
`
`rebuttal testimony and no part of it should be excluded.
`
`DISCUSSION
`
`I.
`
`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION EXCEEDS THE SCOPE OF ANY OBJECTIONS.
`
`As a preliminary matter, Patent Owner’s motion is procedurally improper
`
`because it encompasses testimony to which Patent Owner never objected in the
`
`first place. Patent Owner’s motion seeks to exclude all of Dr. Murthy’s rebuttal
`
`testimony by seeking to exclude all of Ex. 1048. (PO Mot Excl. at 2, Paper 23.)
`
`But Patent Owner objected only to certain particular paragraphs in Dr. Murthy’s
`
`rebuttal testimony declaration, specifically ¶¶ 2–5, 10, 12, and 17–19. (Patent
`
`Owner’s Objections To Petitioner’s Evidence at 2, Paper 20 (hereinafter “PO
`
`Obj”.).) Patent Owner never objected to ¶¶ 1, 6–9, 11, 13–16, and 20.
`
`– 1 –
`
`

`

`
`
`Here Patent Owner objected to only ten (10) specifically identified
`
`paragraphs out of twenty (20) paragraphs in the declaration, but now seeks to
`
`exclude all twenty, including those to which it never objected. This is not a
`
`situation where a party is calling on the Board to “attempt to sort proper from
`
`improper portions of the reply.” See Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77
`
`Fed.Reg. 48,756, 48,767 (Aug. 14, 2012). Nothing here requires or supports
`
`wholesale exclusion of the entire declaration. E.g., Belden Inc. v. Berk-Tek LLC,
`
`805 F.3d 1064, 1079 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (“Nothing in the Guide requires wholesale
`
`exclusion in such circumstances.”). Unlike a situation where the Board may
`
`decline to consider certain paragraphs specifically cited, e.g., Acceleration Bay,
`
`LLC v. Activision Blizzard Inc., 908 F.3d 765, 775 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (“The Board did
`
`not abuse its discretion in declining to consider the cited paragraphs in Dr. Karger’s
`
`reply declaration.”), it would be contrary to regulation and an abuse of discretion to
`
`exclude testimony to which Patent Owner did not make any objection on the
`
`record. 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c) (“The motion must identify the objections in the
`
`record in order and must explain the objections.”); see also, Nintendo of America
`
`Inc. v. Motion Games, LLC, No. IPR2014-00164, 2015 WL 2395487, *15 (P.T.A.B.
`
`May 15, 2015) (“Patent Owner's Motion
`
`to Exclude also
`
`is deficient
`
`procedurally.”).
`
`Moreover, Patent Owner has cited nothing in the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`– 2 –
`
`

`

`
`
`indicating that Dr. Murthy’s testimony would be inadmissible. 37 C.F.R. 42.62(a)
`
`(“Except as otherwise provided in this subpart, the Federal Rules of Evidence shall
`
`apply to a proceeding.”). To the extent Patent Owner contends some part of that
`
`testimony exceeds the proper scope of a reply while not contending that other parts
`
`do so, that should go to the weight, not the admissibility, of those parts of the
`
`declaration. Even if the specific paragraphs of Dr. Murthy’s testimony to which
`
`Patent Owner did object were not proper rebuttal responding to Patent Owner’s
`
`evidence (and it is, as explained in Part II, infra, at 3–11), it would still be well
`
`within the Board’s capability to consider only the other paragraphs from his
`
`declaration, to which Patent Owner never objected. Parrot S.A. v. QFO Labs, Inc.,
`
`No. IPR2016-01550, 2017 WL 4315224, *1 (P.T.A.B. Sept. 22, 2017) (“[T]o the
`
`extent Patent Owner also intended to argue that these materials exceed the scope of
`
`the Patent Owner Response, the Panel is capable of addressing this issue without
`
`briefing.”). Accordingly, there is no need to exclude any parts of his testimony, in
`
`the absence of citation of a governing Federal Rule of Evidence so requiring.
`
`II. DR. MURTHY’S TESTIMONY ABOUT OBVIOUSNESS AND ROUTINE
`EXPERIMENTATION IN DOSE RANGING STUDIES IS PROPER REBUTTAL.
`
`Substantively, Dr. Murthy’s
`
`testimony about
`
`the prior art ranges
`
`encompassing the 5% dosage limitation and explaining that that dose ranging
`
`studies are the routine experimentation leading to the 5% dosage limitation is
`
`entirely proper as rebuttal testimony, and Patent Owner’s contention to the contrary
`
`– 3 –
`
`

`

`
`
`is incorrect.
`
`A.
`
`Presenting Additional Evidence More Specifically Addressing An
`Issue That Patent Owner Contests Is Proper Rebuttal.
`
`Patent Owner’s motion does not apply the correct standard to rebuttal case
`
`evidence. Patent Owner’s theory is that those exact opinions did not appear in that
`
`form in the initial declaration in support of the petition and that the testimony
`
`theoretically, hypothetically could have been included earlier. If rebuttal testimony
`
`were limited to exactly the same opinions expressed in support of the prima facie
`
`case established on institution, there would be no point to having a rebuttal case.
`
`Moreover, a rebuttal case is not limited to newly discovered evidence, but instead
`
`is expected to include additional evidence rebutting Patent Owner’s attacks on the
`
`prime facie case that Petitioner made on institution. Belden, 805 F.3d at 1079
`
`(“Evidence admitted in rebuttal to respond to the patent owner's criticisms will
`
`commonly confirm the prima facie case. That does not make it necessary to the
`
`prima facie case.”)
`
`Instead, the standard is that the reply may not raise a new issue, such as a
`
`new ground of invalidity, or some element of the prima facie case that was entirely
`
`absent in the materials supporting the Petition. The Trial Practice Guide explains:
`
`A reply may only respond to arguments raised in the
`corresponding opposition. § 42.23. While replies can help crystalize
`issues for decision, a reply that raises a new issue or belatedly
`
`– 4 –
`
`

`

`
`
`presents evidence will not be considered and may be returned. The
`Board will not attempt to sort proper from improper portions of the
`reply. Examples of indications that a new issue has been raised in a
`reply include new evidence necessary to make out a prima facie case
`for the patentability or unpatentability of an original or proposed
`substitute claim, and new evidence that could have been presented in a
`prior filing.
`
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed.Reg. 48,756, 48,767 (Aug. 14, 2012).
`
`Dr. Murthy’s rebuttal declaration does not raise a new ground of patentability. It
`
`further discusses exactly the same art and grounds previously cited and discussed.
`
`The Petition and evidence cited in it were sufficient to make a prima facie case as
`
`to every element of the claim, including the 5% limitation. (See, Petition For Inter
`
`Partes Review Of U.S. Patent No. 9,549,938 Under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311–319 And 37
`
`C.F.R. §§ 42.100 Et. Seq. at 44–45, 60–65, Paper 1 (hereinafter “Pet.”).) Dr.
`
`Murthy also addressed every element of the claim, including the 5% limitation, in
`
`his opening testimony. (Murthy Decl. ¶¶ 119–124, 175–180, Ex. 1005.) The
`
`sufficiency of Petitioner’s prima facie case is reflected in the Board’s decision to
`
`institute, which addressed all claim elements including the 5% limitation.
`
`(Decision to Institute at 13–14, Paper 9 (hereinafter “Inst. Dec.”).)
`
`Patent Owner’s response ignored, abandoned, and acquiesced as to all other
`
`claim elements (and all claims lacking that element) and addressed only the 5%
`
`– 5 –
`
`

`

`
`
`limitation. In its rebuttal case in reply, Petitioner properly elaborated on its initial
`
`prima facie showing as to the 5% limitation. It further showed, in more detail, how
`
`all of the prior art taken as a whole including the ranges of active ingredient
`
`disclosed therein, would have lead a POSA to have a reasonable expectation of
`
`success for the claimed subject matter as a whole including the 5% dose limitation.
`
`The rebuttal case also further elaborated on how routine experimentation in the
`
`form of a dose ranging study would further have given a POSA a reasonable
`
`expectation of success as to the claimed subject matter as a whole, including the
`
`5% dose limitation.
`
`Patent Owner argues regarding ¶¶ 2–5, 10, and 12 (Murthy Decl., Ex. 1048)
`
`that Dr. Murthy “did not offer any of those opinions” in his initial declaration in
`
`support of the Petition. (PO Mot. Excl. at 3, Paper 23.) If Dr. Murthy had already
`
`offered those exact opinions in his opening testimony, there would have been no
`
`point to filing a new declaration repeating exactly the same thing previously said.
`
`The point of a rebuttal is not to repeat what was said before. Instead, it further
`
`expounds on the prima facie case (which was set forth in the Pet. as confirmed by
`
`the Inst. Dec.) with additional evidence rebutting to Patent Owner’s response.
`
`Belden, 805 F.3d at 1079 (“Evidence admitted in rebuttal to respond to the patent
`
`owner's criticisms will commonly confirm the prima facie case.”).
`
`Patent Owner also argues that ¶¶ 2–5, 10, and 12 (Murthy Decl., Ex. 1048)
`
`– 6 –
`
`

`

`
`
`do not respond to the parts of Dr. Lane’s testimony about an asserted “teaching
`
`away” and do not respond to the parts of Dr. Reider’s testimony about boron-
`
`containing compound. (PO Mot. Excl. at 3–4, Paper 23) Even if that were true, it
`
`does not matter whether Dr. Murthy’s testimony responded to the specific narrow
`
`issues Patent Owner identifies. The testimony is clearly responsive to testimony
`
`from Dr. Lane (and Dr. Reider), as identified in Dr. Murthy’s declaration and
`
`further identified in subpart B next below.
`
`Petitioner’s rebuttal evidence in support of its reply did exactly what a
`
`rebuttal case is supposed to do. It responded to Patent Owner’s arguments
`
`regarding the 5% limitation, with additional evidence in further support of its
`
`initial, well-supported prima facie case. Parts B and C below explain in more detail
`
`how Dr. Murthy’s testimony was proper rebuttal evidence and responded to
`
`testimony from Dr. Lane and Dr. Reider.
`
`B. Dr. Murthy’s Testimony About The Prior Art Disclosures Of
`Dose Ranges And About Dose Ranging As Routine Experimenta-
`tion Responds To Testimony From Dr. Lane And Dr. Reider.
`
`1.
`
`Dr. Murthy’s Testimony About The Range Of Values That A
`POSA Would Have Considered Typical In View Of The Prior
`Art Responds To Dr. Lane And Dr. Reider.
`
`Dr. Murthy’s testimony that a POSA would generally “not have been
`
`surprised” by the 5% limitation that is “well within the ranges” of the prior art
`
`(Murthy Decl. ¶ 2, Ex. 1048) is proper rebuttal testimony. It is responsive to
`
`– 7 –
`
`

`

`
`
`testimony he identified (Murthy Decl. ¶¶ 3–13, Ex. 1048) from Dr. Lane about the
`
`disclosure of ranges in the prior art and the reasonable expectation of success for
`
`any particular value within the disclosed ranges. (E.g., Lane Decl. ¶¶ 54, 58, 60,
`
`62, 63, 64, Ex. 2013.) It is also responsive to testimony from Dr. Reider about
`
`ranges disclosed in the prior art and whether a POSA could have arrived at the
`
`claimed amount through routine experimentation. (E.g., Reider Decl. ¶¶ 49, 50, 54,
`
`57, & 68–71, Ex. 2014.)
`
`Dr. Murthy’s testimony about the ranges that Austin disclosed (Murthy Decl.,
`
`¶¶ 3–5, Ex. 1048) responds Dr. Lane’s testimony about the ranges disclosed in
`
`Austin, and cites to the paragraphs to which it responds. (Lane Decl. ¶¶ 58, 68,
`
`Ex. 2014.) It is also responsive to Dr. Reider’s testimony about the ranges in
`
`Austin and the reasonable expectation of success for a percentage dose within that
`
`range through routine experimentation. (Reider Decl. ¶¶ 49 & 68–69, Ex. 2013.)
`
`Dr. Murthy’s testimony about Brehove (Murthy Decl. ¶ 10, Ex. 1048)
`
`responds to Dr. Lane’s testimony about the ranges in Brehove. (Lane Decl. ¶¶ 54,
`
`58, 60, 63, 64, Ex. 2014.) Dr. Murthy specifically references those paragraphs
`
`from Dr. Lane’s testimony in the next paragraph of his rebuttal testimony. (Murthy
`
`Decl. ¶ 11, Ex. 1048.) It is also responsive to Dr. Reider’s testimony about the
`
`ranges in Brehove and the reasonable expectation of success for a percentage dose
`
`within that range through routine experimentation. (Reider Decl. ¶¶ 50 & 68–69,
`
`– 8 –
`
`

`

`
`
`Ex. 2013.)
`
`Dr. Murthy’s testimony about ranges in Freeman (Murthy Decl. ¶ 12,
`
`Ex. 1048) responds to Dr. Lane’s testimony about the ranges in Freeman (Lane
`
`Decl. ¶¶ 62, 68, Ex. 2014), and cites to those paragraphs. It is also responsive to
`
`Dr. Reider’s testimony about Freeman and the reasonable expectation of success
`
`for a percentage dose within that range through routine experimentation. (Reider
`
`Decl. ¶¶ 54 & 68–69, Ex. 2013.)
`
`2.
`
`Dr. Murthy’s Testimony That The Routine Experimentation For
`The 5% Dosage Is A Dose Ranging Study Is Proper Rebuttal.
`
`Patent Owner also objected that Dr. Murthy’s testimony concerning dose-
`
`ranging studies “was known to FlatWing at the time it filed its petition.” (PO Mot.
`
`Excl. at 4, Paper 23.) There is no rule precluding the use as rebuttal, in support of a
`
`Reply, evidence that was previously known to the Petitioner. A reply is not like a
`
`motion for reconsideration, where a party may be limited to evidence which it
`
`could not with reasonable diligence have introduced earlier. Instead, a rebuttal
`
`case in support of a reply (before oral argument and before a final written decision)
`
`is an opportunity for Petitioner to respond to Patent Owner’s argument. Whether
`
`the evidence was previously known is irrelevant. New evidence may sometimes
`
`indicate a new issue (as noted in the Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed.Reg. 48,756,
`
`48,767), but here it does not. It could sometimes indicate an attempt to meet an
`
`element that was entirely missing from Petitioner’s prima facie case (as also noted
`
`– 9 –
`
`

`

`
`
`in the Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed.Reg. 48,756, 48,767), but, again, here it does
`
`not. Instead, it properly rebutted and replied to Patent Owner’s response.
`
`Dr. Murthy’s testimony describing the routine experimentation of a dose
`
`ranging study (Murthy Decl. ¶¶ 17–19, Ex. 1048) responds to Dr. Lane’s simplistic
`
`assumption that more is always better, regardless of how much is needed, as
`
`explained in the next paragraph of Dr. Murthy’s testimony. (Murthy Decl. ¶ 15, Ex.
`
`1048.) Dr. Lane had opined that a “higher concentration” necessarily means
`
`“markedly superior performance.” (Lane Decl. ¶ 71, Ex. 2014.) In rebuttal, Dr.
`
`Murthy properly explained that more is not always better, that the minimum
`
`effective amount is preferred, and that a dose ranging study is routine
`
`experimentation, well-known to a POSA, used to determine an appropriate dose,
`
`and that here a POSA would have had a reasonable expectation of success for the
`
`subject matter claimed, including the 5% limitation. Dr. Murthy’s testimony about
`
`the routine experimentation in a dose ranging study (Murthy Decl. ¶¶ 17–19,
`
`Ex. 1048) is also responsive to Dr. Reider’s testimony that a POSA “would not
`
`have arrived at the claims amount of tavaborole through routine experimentation.”
`
`(Reider Decl. ¶¶ 68–71, Ex. 2013.)
`
`C.
`
`Patent Owner Has Had A Full And Fair Opportunity To Respond
`To Dr. Murthy’s Testimony
`
`Patent Owner here, similar to the Patent Owner in Belden, has also had a
`
`“fair opportunity to respond” to the grounds raised in the Petition, including the
`
`– 10 –
`
`

`

`
`
`support for those grounds in Dr. Murthy’s rebuttal declaration. Belden, 805 F.3d at
`
`1079–1081. Here, as in Belden, Patent Owner cross-examined the declarant on his
`
`rebuttal testimony. Moreover, while in Belden the Patent Owner was limited to
`
`filing observations on cross-examination, here the Patent Owner was allowed even
`
`greater latitude and permitted to file a full Surreply brief. (Patent Owner’s
`
`Surreply, Paper 24 (hereinafter “PO Surreply”).) When requesting leave to file PO
`
`Surreply, the Patent Owner agreed that it would file no new evidence, and
`
`expressed no need or desire to do so. PO Surreply does not address the routine
`
`experimentation of dose ranging studies and the overlapping ranges in the prior art
`
`showing that a POSA would have a reasonable expectation of success for the
`
`claimed subject matter, including the 5% dosing limitation. Patent Owner’s own
`
`choice to forego its opportunity to address these issues in PO Surreply it requested
`
`is no basis for it now to seek to exclude that evidence. On the contrary, it shows
`
`that Patent Owner has not been prejudiced and despite being afforded a fair
`
`opportunity to respond did not do so.
`
`The only reasonable inference is that Patent Owner chose not to respond
`
`because it had no meaningful response to make.
`
`III. PATENT OWNER MISCHARACTERIZES PETITIONER’S POSITION REGARDING
`SAMOUR, WHICH DOES NOT TEACH AWAY FROM 5%.
`
`Contrary to Patent Owner’s argument, Petitioner has not “pivoted away”
`
`(PO Mot. Excl. at 3, Paper 23) from Samour. Petitioner’s reply also explained that
`
`– 11 –
`
`

`

`
`
`there was no “teaching away” in Samour. (E.g., Reply at 22–23, Paper 19.) In
`
`addition to explaining that Samour was not a “teaching away,” Petitioner also
`
`introduced additional rebuttal, including the testimony from Dr. Murthy about the
`
`active dose ranges in the prior art and the routine experimentation of a dose finding
`
`study further providing a reasonable expectation of success for the claimed subject
`
`matter as a whole, including the 5% limitation.
`
`It is undisputed that Samour repeatedly discloses a 5% dose, in multiple
`
`examples. Patent Owner’s argument that this dose “simply serves as a comparative
`
`benchmark” (e.g., PO Resp. at 29, Paper 13) seeks to avoid the issue without
`
`addressing it. If Samour uses 5% as a “benchmark,” that is simply further evidence
`
`that it is within the range for which a POSA would have a reasonable expectation
`
`of success through routine experimentation in a dose ranging study. Patent Owner
`
`points to Example 9 as showing the amount of penetration in a single application,
`
`but nowhere does Patent Owner show that the penetration rate at 5% in Example 9
`
`would in any way be insufficient for a reasonable expectation of success.
`
`Moreover, the single application of Example 9 in Samour is not the way such
`
`products are typically administered. Example 10 shows that multiple applications
`
`at 5% achieved a steady state in just 3 days. (Ex. 1010, col. 25, ℓℓ. 20–55.) A
`
`POSA would know that multiple administrations of such products is typical, as
`
`shown in Example 10 of Samour, and as reflected in the product labelling for the
`
`– 12 –
`
`

`

`
`
`commercial embodiment of tavaborole (Ex. 1042 at 2 (“Apply KERYDIN to
`
`affected toenails once daily for 48 weeks.”)).
`
`Samour specifically teaches dose ranges encompassing 5%. (Ex., 1010, col.
`
`11, ℓ.39, to col. 12, ℓ.38.) Moreover, it teaches that the exact amount depends on
`
`factors including the structure and potency of the active ingredient. Accordingly, it
`
`encourages routine experimentation to determine amount of active ingredient.
`
`Routine experimentation to determine the amount of active ingredient is a dose
`
`ranging study, and Samour teaches that such routine experimentation should
`
`encompass ranges including 5%.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Wherefore, Petitioner respectfully moves that Exhibit 1048 not be excluded,
`
`in whole or in part.
