`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Hello,
`
`this is Judge Boudreau. I have Judges Fishman
`
`and Pettigrew on the line with me.
`
` This is a call in Case
`
`IPR2018-00082, Western Digital versus SPEX
`
`Technologies.
`
` Do we have counsel for Petitioner
`
`Western Digital on the line?
`
` MR. BUROKER: Yes, Your Honor. This
`
`is Brian Buroker from Gibson Dunn.
`
` And I believe -- I'll let the others
`
`announce themselves, but I believe we have a
`
`couple of other colleagues of mine on the phone
`
`listening as well.
`
` MR. SILVER: Blair Silver from
`
`Gibson Dunn as well.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: And do
`
`we have counsel for Patent Owner SPEX
`
`Technologies on the line?
`
` MR. ITURRALDE: Yes, Your Honor.
`
`This is Enrique Iturralde for SPEX
`
`Technologies, Patent Owner.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Thank
`
`you.

` MR. ITURRALDE: Your Honor, I
`
`believe that a court reporter is on the line.
`
` THE REPORTER: I am on the line.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Okay.
`
`Thank you.
`
` And I'd just ask whoever retained
`
`the court reporter please file a copy of the
`
`transcript as soon as you receive it.
`
` MR. BUROKER: Yes. This is
`
`Petitioner. We engaged the court reporter, and
`
`we will do the filing. Thank you.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Okay.
`
`Thank you.
`
` So I believe that Patent Owner
`
`originally scheduled this call, so I'll let you
`
`start, Mr. Iturralde.
`
` MR. ITURRALDE: Yes, Your Honor.
`
`Thank you. This is Enrique Iturralde for the
`
`Patent Owner.
`
` We requested this conference call to
`
`inform the board pursuant to a scheduling order
`
`that the Patent Owner will -- the Patent Owner

`
`SPEX will elect to not file a Patent Owner's
`
`response to the petition. SPEX is prepared to
`
`file a paper to that effect should the board
`
`require a filling.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Yes,
`
`we can go ahead and authorize that.
`
` And just to be clear, you are aware
`
`that the scheduling order also states that any
`
`arguments not raised in the response will be
`
`deemed waived. And that would extend to not
`
`filing a Patent Owner response. And it would
`
`be assumed that you'll be waiving any arguments
`
`that you might have against anything that was
`
`raised in the petition.
`
` Is that understood?
`
` MR. ITURRALDE: Yes, Your Honor,
`
`Patent Owner understands that.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Okay.
`
`Thank you.
`
` Let me just -- hold on just one
`
`minute. Okay?
`
` Sorry about that. I'm back. Okay.
`
` And we would appreciate it if you
`
`would file a paper just stating that you do

`

`
` MR. ITURRALDE: Sure, Your Honor.
`
`We can do that.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: All
`
`right. Thank you.
`
` So now we'll hear from Mr. Buroker.
`
` MR. BUROKER: Yes. This is Brian
`
`Buroker from Petitioner.
`
` We were processing the July 23rd
`
`order when Patent Owner asked for this
`
`conference call, so we wanted to go ahead and
`
`raise the issue that we were considering
`
`raising in response to the July 23rd order,
`
`which was that we would like to take advantage
`
`of the suggestion in that order that the
`
`Petitioner would request the authorization to
`
`file a motion asking the board to waive the
`
`rules and allow a reply. And we believe we
`
`have good cause to do so.
`
` We believe the circumstances of the
`
`SAS decision and the way in which the
`
`proceedings have taken place so far in
`
`combination with when we filed the petition, we
`
`weren't clear what the claim construction was

`
`going to be for one of the terms. And we now
`
`have a claim construction from both the
`
`District Court and then from the preliminary
`
`claim construction adopted by the panel.
`
` And we believe we have evidence that
`
`the ground that was instituted for the Claims 1
`
`to 11 and 12 render the claims obvious, and we
`
`want to point to the additional evidence that
`
`demonstrates the obviousness.
`
` And we believe that the current
`
`construct of the rules weren't set out with the
`
`framework in mind of what happens now in view
`
`of the SAS decision, which is you've got an
`
`institution on grounds that -- where the
`
`preliminary view in the institution decision
`
`suggests that we haven't met our burden.
`
` We believe that we should have the
`
`right to demonstrate why the claims are obvious
`
`in view of the ground, and that's the
`
`references combined in the petition.
`
` And we believe that if we don't get
`
`that opportunity, there's a due process
`
`problem, and so the Federal Rules should be
`
`waived.

`
` The Federal Circuit repeatedly has
`
`held that it's contemplated that there will be
`
`new evidence that comes to light during these
`
`proceedings and that the petition is not all
`
`the evidence that can be presented by the
`
`Petitioner. You can submit additional
`
`evidence. And that's what we are asking to do.
`
` As you all know, we tried to submit
`
`information through supplemental information.
`
`That evidence is not formally in the record,
`
`but we believe we should have some vehicle.
`
`And if it's a reply, we think that that's
`
`the -- what we would like to do to set aside
`
`the rules to allow us to file that reply, get
`
`that evidence into the record, even if the
`
`Patent Owner waives its Patent Owner response.
`
` But we should have a right to
`
`demonstrate to the board that the ground it
`
`instituted demonstrates the obviousness of the
`
`claim.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE:
`
`Mr. Iturralde, would you like to respond to
`
`Mr. Buroker?
`
` MR. ITURRALDE: Yes, Your Honor.

`
`Thank you.
`
` Patent Owner opposes this request
`
`that the board already considered the specific
`
`issue of whether -- on its May 9th conference
`
`call. The transcript is -- was filed as
`
`Exhibit 2006.
`
` And the board already considered the
`
`specific issue of whether or not Petitioner
`
`would be able to file a reply. And the board
`
`stated if Patent Owner were to waive its option
`
`for filing a Patent Owner response, waive it in
`
`writing, that the Petitioner would have no
`
`basis for which to file a reply brief.
`
` At this juncture we believe the
`
`Petitioner has already had ample opportunity to
`
`present its arguments and to move to enter
`
`supplemental information. And the board has
`
`already taken a close look at the information
`
`that the Petitioner wants to enter into the
`
`record and has already found that these issues
`
`would present new arguments that supplement the
`
`petition improperly. And Patent Owner would
`
`oppose for at least those reasons.

`
`sorry. I was having some difficulty with my
`
`telephone here.
`
` Were you able to hear anything that
`
`I just said?
`
` MR. BUROKER: No, Your Honor. After
`
`Mr. -- Enrique spoke, we didn't hear anything
`
`else.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: I
`
`apologize for that.
`
` So I had said that in the July 23rd,
`
`2018 order, we did state that Petitioner may
`
`request authorization to file a motion asking
`
`us to waive our rules and allow a reply upon
`
`persuasive showing of good cause. And so the
`
`statement that a reply would not be authorized
`
`as an absolute matter here is -- wouldn't be
`
`accurate.
`
` That said, Mr. Buroker, what is the
`
`basis for waiving the rules here?
`
` We're having a bit of trouble
`
`understanding this. The decision on
`
`institution in this case was entered after the
`
`decision in SAS, and so this isn't a situation
`
`where we've retroactively added some claims

`
`back in. So I'm interested in hearing a little
`
`bit more about what your basis is for waiving
`
`the rules here.
`
` MR. BUROKER: I think the basic is
`
`that the general framework of how things
`
`proceed in an IPR now that -- you know,
`
`previously the board would never entertain
`
`argument on claims that it didn't find in the
`
`institution decision if the burden had been
`
`preliminarily met. And so it made sense that
`
`the rules would lay out that the opposition in
`
`the Patent Owner's response would deal with the
`
`arguments first, because in every other
`
`institution decision, all the claims were
`
`preliminarily found to be invalid. And so the
`
`Patent Owner's response naturally would just
`
`deal with challenging the invalidity
`
`determination or the initial determination, and
`
`a reply would then go forward and respond to
`
`that.
`
` Now we've got situations in all of
`
`these in the post-SAS era, including this case
`
`where it was -- the SAS decision came out a few
`
`weeks before the institution, where the

`
`preliminary determination in the institution
`
`decision is a bit of a mixed bag. Some claims
`
`were found to be where we haven't met the
`
`burden, and some claims are -- your institution
`
`decision found that there was not sufficient
`
`evidence to meet the burden.
`
` On those claims there has to be a
`
`vehicle for us to convince the board why we are
`
`correct.
`
` And if the Patent Owner waives its
`
`response like it is saying it's going to do
`
`here and we can't submit supplemental
`
`information, which we attempted to do, and we
`
`can't submit a reply, what is the vehicle
`
`otherwise for us to make our record?
`
` And that was the point we were
`
`trying to make in the submission we made, is if
`
`we don't get some vehicle to present additional
`
`argument and convince the board why we were
`
`right, then there is a preordained outcome and
`
`there is a due process problem. And we need to
`
`be able to make that argument in an -- whatever
`
`document you want to call it, whether it's a
`
`reply or supplemental information.

`
` There's evidence here to demonstrate
`
`why the grounds instituted, the
`
`Harari/Wang/Dumas grounds, shows that these
`
`claims are invalid. And we are asking for some
`
`vehicle to set aside the rules so we can make
`
`that argument before you all reach a final
`
`written decision based only -- if the ruling is
`
`that we don't get to file a reply, then the
`
`only evidence you will be ruling on would be
`
`what's in our petition; and therefore, the
`
`institution decision would necessarily look a
`
`lot like the final written decision. There has
`
`to be some vehicle for new evidence to come
`
`into the record after an institution decision
`
`to address those claims where your initial
`
`determination was that the burden wasn't met.
`
` And in this case there is a change
`
`of claim construction. There was a change in
`
`claim construction in the District Court.
`
`There was expert testimony that came to light
`
`after the petition that we are trying to get
`
`into the record. And all those things should
`
`be considered, we believe, for fundamental
`
`fairness and due process.

`
` And the current rules, candidly,
`
`aren't set up to address this. They do say
`
`that, you know, the default is that you only
`
`get in a reply to respond to what's in the
`
`Patent Owner's response. Again, that made
`
`sense when the Patent Owner response was only
`
`dealing with -- was likely to respond to every
`
`claim because all of the claims were
`
`preliminarily deemed to be invalid.
`
` But now that the -- that there are
`
`institution decisions that deal with a mixed
`
`bag, or at least some claims that aren't
`
`preliminarily determined to be invalid, there
`
`has to be a vehicle available to Petitioners.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Well,
`
`we don't understand SAS to change our rule that
`
`a reply is allowed only to respond to issues in
`
`the Patent Owner response.
`
` I mean, we -- a request for
`
`rehearing would have been the vehicle to
`
`reconsider what we -- Petitioner argues that we
`
`might have missed in the decision on
`
`institution.
`
` And Petitioner in this case didn't

`
`file a request for a hearing. Is that correct?
`
` MR. BUROKER: Well, that's correct,
`
`because a reconsideration is only limited to
`
`the evidence in the petition.
`
` And what we are saying, Your Honor,
`
`is that we should be permitted to present
`
`additional evidence in addition to what was in
`
`the petition. Now that there is an institution
`
`and the trial is instituted in that trial
`
`proceeding, we should be permitted to present
`
`additional evidence. So a reconsideration
`
`would not have allowed us to do that.
`
` And you're right the reply rule
`
`currently says that it's limited only to the
`
`response, and SAS doesn't change that rule.
`
`But the way that the board has implemented the
`
`rules that it's going to institute on every
`
`claim and every ground, there has to be a
`
`procedural mechanism.
`
` And that's why we're asking to set
`
`aside the current rules to allow that new
`
`evidence to be submitted and considered before
`
`you issue a final written decision.

`
`right. Well, we considered the arguments, and
`
`I think we're going to go ahead and authorize
`
`briefings here.
`
` Let me just put you on a brief hold
`
`for a minute while I confer with my panel.
`
` MR. BUROKER: Okay. Thank you.
`
` (Recess was taken from 1:17 p.m. to
`
`1:19 p.m.)
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Okay.
`
`This is Judge Boudreau. I'm back on the line.
`
` I've conferred with my panel, and
`
`we're going to go ahead and authorize a motion
`
`for leave to file a reply in the absence of
`
`Patent Owner's response. And that motion will
`
`be limited to five pages and will also
`
`authorize an opposition limited to five pages.
`
` Mr. Buroker, would you be able to
`
`get that motion on file within a week from
`
`today? Let me see. So that would be by
`
`August 8th.
`
` MR. BUROKER: If we could have till
`
`Friday, that would be great, because we might
`
`not get the transcript till tomorrow, and we'd
`
`like to review that, if possible.

`
` So if we could have till the 9th,
`
`next Friday, that would be great. But
`
`otherwise, the 8th would -- we could make that
`
`work too.
`
` Oh, I'm sorry. I'm saying Friday
`
`the 9th. The 9th is Thursday.
`
` Yes, if we could have till the 9th,
`
`that would be great.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE:
`
`Till -- the 9th is Thursday, that's right.
`
` MR. BUROKER: Yep.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Yeah,
`
`I may have misspoken.
`
` And then the opposition, Mr.
`
`Iturralde, one week after that? So the 16th?
`
` MR. ITURRALDE: That's fine, Your
`
`Honor. Thank you.
`
` ADMINISTRATIVE PATENT JUDGE: Okay.
`
`Thank you.
`
` And just to be clear, in the motion,
`
`Mr. Buroker, you may describe the new evidence,
`
`but don't file any new exhibits unless and
`
`until we grant the motion.
`
` MR. BUROKER: Okay. Understood.

`
` MR. ITURRALDE: No, Your Honor.
`
`That's all for Patent Owner. Thank you.
