`IPR2021-00406
`Patent 10,716,793 B2
`
`
`Petitioner’s Identification of Improper
`Evidence and Arguments
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s email dated March 25, 2022, Petitioner identifies the
`
`below Exhibits and portions of Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply as beyond the scope of
`
`new evidence authorized by 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b) and page 73 of the Trial Practice
`
`Guide, and in violation of the Board’s March 3, 2022 Order denying Patent Owner’s
`
`request for authorization to submit this type of evidence with its Sur-Reply. 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.23(b) (A “sur-reply . . . may not be accompanied by new evidence other
`
`than deposition transcripts of the cross-examination of any reply witness.”); Paper
`
`50, 5 (“Patent Owner’s request for authorization to submit evidence with its Sur-
`
`Reply beyond the limits placed on that evidence by 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b) is denied.”);
`
`see also Ex. 2104, 24:2-25:23 (the Board indicating that submitting new evidence
`
`through depositions instead provides an “opportunity for gamesmanship” to
`
`circumvent the Board’s ruling).
`
`Exhibits
`
`1) Ex. 2092 (attached to Ex. 2094 at 63-651)
`
`
`1 This is a different exhibit than what Patent Owner filed as Exhibit 2092, which is
`
`the “Biography of Mandy H. Kim.” Patent Owner appears to have duplicated exhibit
`
`numbering and attached a different Exhibit 2092 to Exhibit 2094 (3/11/2022
`
`Transcript of the Deposition of Dr. Hall-Ellis). Petitioner identifies the Exhibit 2092
`
`attached to Exhibit 2094 as improper.

`
`4) Ex. 2100 (entered as Tab 6 in Ex. 2099, 3/14/22 Gonda IPR deposition)

`
`7) Ex. 2103 (entered as Tab 4 in Ex. 2099, 3/14/22 Gonda IPR deposition)
`
`8) Ex. 2099, 163:23-176:5, 180:20-185:10, 198:8-201:6, 201:18-203:9
`
`(discussing Exs. 2100, 2101, 2102, and 2103)
`
`Portions of Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply Replying on the Above Exhibits
`
`1) Relying on the portions of Ex. 2094 related to Exs. 2092 and 2093:
`a. P.8: “another librarian at the British Library” to “the Abstracts
`themselves were not available unless patrons somehow had the
`specific citations.”
`b. P. 8-9: “Those printed indices” to “available (EX2094, 64).”
`
`
`2 This is a different exhibit than what Patent Owner filed as Exhibit 2093, which is
`
`the “Declaration of Mandy H. Kim in Support of Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission.” Patent Owner appears to have duplicated exhibit numbering and
`
`attached a different Exhibit 2093 to Exhibit 2094 (3/11/2022 Transcript of the
`
`Deposition of Dr. Hall-Ellis). Petitioner identifies the Exhibit 2093 attached to
`
`Exhibit 2094 as improper.
