`
`RULE 42.64(b)(2) DECLARATION OF MARY LOU O’NEIL ON BEHALF
`OF PETITIONER LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. REGARDING
`U.S. PATENT NO. 6,064,970
`
`I, Mary Lou O’Neil, hereby declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of
`
`the United States of America:
`
`I have previously been asked by Liberty Mutual Insurance (“Liberty”) to testify
`
`as an expert witness in this action.
`
`I.
`
`Prior Testimony
`
`1.
`
`I am the same Mary Lou O’Neil who provided a Declaration in this
`
`matter executed on September 14, 2012 as Exhibit 1009, and a Rebuttal Declaration
`
`in this matter executed on August 6, 2013 as Exhibit 1022. (My information
`
`regarding experience, qualifications, and compensation has been provided along with
`
`my prior Declaration, Exhibit 1009, and CV, Exhibit 1010.)

`
`II. Response to Evidentiary Objections
`
`2.
`
`I understand an evidentiary objection has been made to Exhibit 1022,
`
`asserting that it is hearsay, but in fact it is my sworn expert testimony in the matter.
`
`See Patent Owner’s Notice of Objection to Evidence Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64, at
`
`13-14.
`
`3.
`
`I understand that a further evidentiary objection has been made to
`
`Exhibit 1022, asserting that it has “no relevant bearing on any issue actually raised in
`
`this proceeding.” See Patent Owner’s Notice of Objection to Evidence Pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.64, at 10-11. As I stated in my Rebuttal Declaration (Exhibit 1022), I
`
`testified in Exhibit 1022 solely to rebut issues actually raised by Patent Owner in its
`
`Patent Owner’s Response, including assertions and opinions of Michael Miller
`
`expressed in his declaration of May 1, 2013 (attached to the Patent Owner’s Response
`
`as Exhibit 2010) and certain assertions of Progressive in its Patent Owner’s Response
`
`of May 1, 2013. Contrary to Progressive’s evidentiary objection, my testimony was
`
`not offered to “raise new theories to support [Liberty’s] invalidity arguments in order
`
`to make out a prima facie case of unpatentability of the claims,” which I understand the
`
`Board already found to exist in its Institution Decision.
`
`4.
`
`In Exhibit 1022, my Rebuttal Declaration, I indicated that Exhibit 1023
`
`was downloaded from the web site of the publisher, the Actuarial Standards Board,
`
`http://www.actuarialstandardsboard.org/pdf/superseded/intopinion.PDF, which
`
`notes that the document was adopted 1970-1982 by the American Academy of

`Actuaries and republished in 1992 by the Actuarial Standards Board. I have been in
`
`possession of a hard copy of Interpretive Opinion 4: Actuarial Principles and
`
`Practices since its initial publication in 1982 (and as revised in 1990). For purposes of
`
`my declaration and ease of provision to counsel, I downloaded Exhibit 1023 {which
`
`contains the same substance as the hard copy I have had in my possession) onjuly 30,
`
`2013. I was familiar with and have used Interpretive Opinion 4 found in Exhibit 1023
`
`in my work on numerous occasions during the period in which it was in force.
`
`Executed this 27th day of August, 2013
