`
`
`PETITIONERS’ AMENDED OBJECTIONS TO AMENDED
`DEMONSTRATIVES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`After serving demonstratives on Petitioners on December 8, 2017, and on
`
`the Board on December 12, Patent Owner amended its demonstratives in the
`
`version filed as Exhibit 2100 on December 19, reordering its slides and removing
`
`titles. Petitioners had timely filed their objections to Patent Owner’s slides (Paper
`
`No. 52) on December 15, based on the version served on December 8. Pursuant to
`
`the Board’s February 9, 2018 Decision (Paper No. 56 at 14) that “Petitioner is
`
`authorized to file, no later than February 16, 2018, an amended set of objections to
`
`Patent Owner’s demonstratives that contain no substantive changes from the
`
`originally filed objections other than to amend the identification of the slide that is
`
`the subject of the objection,” Petitioners herein provide an amended set of
`
`objections that identify the changes made to the slide numbers in the December 19
`
`submission (Exhibit 2100) from the original slides.1
`
`Objections to Exhibit 2100
`
`Petitioners maintain their scope objections (Papers 45, 51) to the new
`
`arguments and evidence Patent Owner improperly raises in its motion to exclude
`
`papers.
`
`
`1
`Per the Board’s order, the only substantive changes Petitioners have made to
`
`their objections are to update the slide numbers. Due to Patent Owner’s removal of
`
`the objected-to titles from Slide 3 (original slide 15) and Slide 4 (original slide 16),
`
`however, if acceptable to the Board, Petitioners would withdraw these objections.
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`Petitioners object to all of Patent Owner’s slides for failing to identify
`
`where in the papers any of these arguments were made or exhibits were cited.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 59 (original slide 8) as improper
`
`new evidence and argument that does not appear in Patent Owner’s Response.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 3 (original slide 15) for
`
`misstating the record because Dr. Buller testified that he has experience in surgical
`
`valve operations.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 4 (original slide 16) to the extent
`
`that it states Dr. Buller has no experience with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA),
`
`which is contrary to Dr. Buller’s testimony.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 13 (original slide 20) for
`
`misstating the record to the extent it suggests Elliot, Thornton, and Cook are
`
`limited to AAA stent grafts by omitting key portions of the quoted disclosures.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 116 (original slide 108) as
`
`improper new evidence and argument in the form of dictionary definitions never
`
`before cited in Patent Owner’s Response and never entered into evidence.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 52 (original slide 109) as
`
`improper new evidence and argument that does not appear in Patent Owner’s
`
`Response.
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 53 (original slide 110) as
`
`improper new evidence and argument that does not appear in Patent Owner’s
`
`Response.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 54 (original slide 111) as
`
`improper new evidence and argument that does not appear in Patent Owner’s
`
`Response.
`
`Petitioners object to Patent Owner’s Slide 55 (original slide 112) as
`
`improper new evidence and argument in the form of dictionary definitions never
`
`before cited in Patent Owner’s Response and never entered into evidence.
