`IPR2022-00915
`U.S. Patent No. 10,257,319
`Petitioner hereby moves to exclude evidence included in Patent Owner’s
`
`Sur-Reply filed on May 1, 2023 (Paper 38), pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c).
`
`I. Compliance With Trial Practice Guide
`
`Petitioners comply with requirements (a)-(d) found in the Board’s Trial
`
`Practice Guide (p.79):
`
`(a)
`
`Petitioner objected to the new evidence in Patent Owner’s Sur-
`
`Reply in Petitioner’s Objections filed May 8, 2023 (Paper 41),
`
`within five business days of service of Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply,
`
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1).
`
`(b)
`
`Patent Owner relies on the new evidence on page 29 of its Sur-
`
`Reply, in the chart reproduced below in Section II.
`
`(c)-(d) Petitioner argues below in Section II that the evidence should be
`
`excluded because it is new evidence.
`
`II. Patent Owner’s New Evidence in its Sur-Reply Should be Excluded
`
`Patent Owner included the following table in its Sur-Reply:
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00915
`U.S. Patent No. 10,257,319
`Sur-Reply at 29. As shown above, Patent Owner’s purported support for “Approx.
`
`$22.1 million revenue in 2021” is its footnote 13, which cites to a document from
`
`another proceeding: “IPR2022-00687, Paper 18 at 75 (PTAB Jan. 20, 2023).” Id.
`
`at n.13.
`
`Petitioner moves to exclude the alleged new evidence cited in footnote 13
`
`from a different proceeding (IPR2022-00687) and the evidentiary sentence
`
`(“Approx. $22.1 million revenue in 2021”) that is based on the new evidence.
`
`The basis for Petitioner’s motion is simple: Patent Owner cannot include
`
`new evidence in its Sur-Reply. 37 CFR § 42.23 (“A sur-reply may only respond to
`
`arguments raised in the corresponding reply and may not be accompanied by new
`
`evidence other than deposition transcripts of the cross-examination of any reply
`
`witness.”); Patent Trial and Appeal Board Consolidated Trial Practice Guide
`
`(November 2019) at 73 (same). Not only has Patent Owner included new evidence
`
`in its Sur-Reply, but the cited evidence is not even from this proceeding.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner moves for the Board exclude this new
`
`evidence.
