`
`Apple Inc. (“Apple”) respectfully submits the following objections to
`
`evidence submitted by Wi-LAN, Inc. (“Wi-LAN”) with its opposition to Apple’s
`
`summary judgment motion (Dkt. No. 358). Specifically, Apple objects to the
`
`untimely new expert opinions offered by Wi-LAN’s infringement expert, Dr. Vijay
`
`Madisetti, in a 14-page declaration filed in support of Wi-LAN’s opposition.
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(B) requires expert reports to contain
`
`a “complete statement of all opinions the witness will express and the basis and
`
`reasons for them” and “the facts or data considered by the witness in forming
`
`them.” “If a party fails to provide information or identify a witness as required by
`
`10
`
`Rule 26(a) or (e), the party is not allowed to use that information or witness to
`
`11
`
`supply evidence on a motion, at a hearing, or at a trial, unless the failure was
`
`12
`
`substantially justified or is harmless.” Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 37(c). Courts should not
`
`13
`
`consider expert declarations submitted in response to a summary judgment motion
`
`14
`
`that attempt to supplement the expert’s submission. O2 Micro Int’l Ltd. v.
`
`15
`
`Monolithic Power Sys., Inc., 467 F.3d 1355, 1368-69 (Fed. Cir. 2006); Shaba v.
`
`16
`
`United States, No. 07cv738-WQH-CAB, 2009 WL 482350, at *4-5 (S.D. Cal. Feb.
`
`17
`
`23, 2009) (exclusion is the proper remedy for an expert declaration submitted with
`
`18
`
`summary judgment briefing).
`
`19
`
`Here, the majority of Dr. Madisetti’s declaration consists of new opinions
`
`20
`
`that were not disclosed in his expert reports or at his deposition. Attached as
`
`21
`
`Exhibit A is an annotated version of Dr. Madisetti’s declaration that identifies in
`
`22
`
`red brackets the portions of Dr. Madisetti’s declaration that are new (see Ex. A at
`
`23
`
`¶¶ 5, 8-18, 20-27, 29-31, 35-36) and therefore should not be considered by the
`
`24
`
`Court. See O2 Micro Int’l Ltd., 467 F.3d at 1368-69. Dr. Madisetti offered all of
`
`25
`
`these new opinions well after the Court’s deadline for expert discovery. In some
`
`26
`
`instances Wi-LAN’s opposition cites Dr. Madisetti’s expert report (see, e.g., Opp.
`
`27
`
`at 6), in some instances Wi-LAN cites Dr. Madisetti’s report and his new
`
`28
`
`DLA PIPER LLP (US)
`S A N D I E G O
`
`declaration (see, e.g., Opp. at 4), and in other instances Wi-LAN cites only Dr.

`
`
`Madisetti’s new declaration (see, e.g., Opp. at 5). Apple does not object to the
`
`portions of Dr. Madisetti’s declaration that restate opinions in his expert report, but
`
`does object to opinions not disclosed in Dr. Madisetti’s reports as violating Federal
`
`Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(B). Apple respectfully requests that the Court
`
`sustain Apple’s objections to these new opinions.
