`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO
`EVIDENCE PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), the undersigned, on behalf of Patent
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`
`
`Owner Progressive Casualty Insurance Co. (“Patent Owner”), hereby submits the
`
`following objections to Exhibits 1041-1043 filed on September 9, 2013 by Liberty
`
`Mutual Insurance Co. (“Liberty” or “Petitioner”) in response to Patent Owner’s
`
`Objections to Evidence, filed August 23, 2013. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.62,
`
`Patent Owner’s objections below apply the Federal Rules of Evidence (“F.R.E.”).
`
`I.
`
`PATENT OWNER MAINTAINS ITS PRIOR OBJECTIONS
`
`Patent Owner maintains all objections it previously set forth, including its
`
`objections filed on August 23, 2013. (See CBM2013-00009, Paper No. 28).
`
`II. EXHIBITS 1041-1043 GO BEYOND EVIDENCE PERMITTED
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(B)(2)
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(2) provides that a “party relying on evidence to which
`
`an objection is timely served may respond to the objection by serving supplemental
`
`evidence within ten business days of service of the objection.” Patent Owner
`
`objects to Exhibits 1041-1043 because they go beyond, and are not proper
`
`supplemental evidence pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(2).
`
`III. OBJECTIONS TO EXHIBIT 1041 AND ANY REFERENCE
`TO/RELIANCE THEREON
`
`Patent Owner hereby objects to Exhibit 1041, Declaration of Mary Lou
`
`O’Neil, dated September 6, 2013 (“O’Neil Second Declaration”).
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`1
`
`
`
`Grounds for objection: 37 C.F.R. § 42.61 (Admissibility of Evidence),
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`
`
`F.R.E. 402 (Relevance), F.R.E. 403 (Excluding Relevant Evidence for Prejudice,
`
`Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons), F.R.E. 901 (Authentication), 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.223 (Filing of Supplemental Evidence), F.R.E. 702, 703, 705 (Witness
`
`Not Qualified to Provide Expert Testimony), F.R.E. 602 (Lack of Personal
`
`Knowledge), F.R.E. 801, 802 (Impermissible Hearsay), 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b)
`
`(Outside Scope of Response and Petition), and the O’Neil Second Declaration is
`
`unauthorized testimony.
`
`Patent Owner advanced no position that provides a proper basis for the
`
`belated submission of the O’Neil Second Declaration or the exhibits referenced
`
`therein, i.e., the O’Neil First Declaration (Exhibit 1031) and a purported copy of
`
`Interpretative Opinion Nos. 3 and 4 (Exhibit 1033). (37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b); 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.223; 37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II, § I, 77
`
`Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,767 (Aug. 14, 2012)). The statements in the O’Neil Second
`
`Declaration have no relevant bearing on any issue properly raised in this
`
`proceeding or argument raised by Patent Owner. (F.R.E. 402, 403; 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.61). Rather, the O’Neil Second Declaration is an attempt to raise new theories
`
`to support invalidity arguments in an effort to establish a prima facie case of
`
`unpatentability of the claims that should have been submitted with the Petitioner’s
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`petition.1 The content of the O’Neil Second Declaration and Exhibits 1031 and
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`1033 are either inapplicable or should have been submitted when the petition for
`
`review was filed, not after the institution of this trial. (F.R.E. 403; 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.223; 37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II, § I).
`
`Further, O’Neil’s new testimony could have been elicited during direct
`
`examination in the first instance. (Id.) O’Neil’s attempt to now offer testimony in
`
`her Declaration is not rebuttal evidence and should not be allowed to remedy any
`
`deficiency with the improperly filed O’Neil First Declaration.
`
`The O’Neil Second Declaration was not authorized by the Board. None of
`
`the PTAB rules or regulations authorizes filing new testimonial evidence in
`
`
`1 For example, in ¶ 3, O’Neil challenges Patent Owner’s objection that she is
`
`raising new theories in order to make out a prima facie case. O’Neil bases this
`
`challenge on her understanding that “the Board already found [a prima facie case]
`
`to exist in its Institution Decision.” This challenge demonstrates Petitioner’s and
`
`O’Neil’s profound misunderstanding as to what is proper to raise in a reply or
`
`rebuttal declaration. The fact that the Board instituted this case does not mean that
`
`Petitioner and O’Neil are free to later raise new arguments and introduce new
`
`evidence that should have been offered at the time of filing the Petition – theories
`
`to which Patent Owner has no opportunity to rebut or respond.
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`conjunction with a Petitioner reply that does not arise from the submission of a
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`substitute claim or is responsive to a Patent Owner’s claim amendments, especially
`
`in light of the prejudice to Patent Owner because there is no opportunity to respond
`
`to or rebut new declarations submitted at this stage. Consequently, the O’Neil
`
`Second Declaration is both outside the scope of Patent Owner’s Response and
`
`impermissible supplemental evidence. (37 C.F.R. § 42.223; 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b);
`
`37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II, § I).
`
`Petitioner apparently presents the O’Neil Second Declaration, and
`
`specifically ¶ 4, in an attempt to verify the source, dates and authenticity of Exhibit
`
`1033, titled “Interpretative Opinion 3: Professional Communications of Actuaries
`
`and Interpretive Opinion 4: Actuarial Principles and Practices.” O’Neil claimed
`
`that Exhibit 1033 is a “true and correct copy” of Interpretative Opinion Nos. 3 and
`
`4 (O’Neil First Declaration, at ¶ 6 n.1), but then does not purport to have any
`
`knowledge as to Opinion No. 3. (See O’Neil Second Declaration, at ¶ 4.) Even as
`
`to Opinion No. 4, O’Neil claims to have been in possession of a hard copy since
`
`1982, even though it was purportedly revised in 1990. (See id.) Nor is O’Neil
`
`claiming that her hard copy document is identical to Exhibit 1033, but rather
`
`simply that it contains similar “substance.” (See id.) O’Neil has failed to provide
`
`any relevant statement or personal knowledge regarding the original publication
`
`date of the materials submitted as Exhibit 1033 (F.R.E. 402, 602; 37 C.F.R.
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`§ 42.61); and she failed to provide any proper basis for concluding that the
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`document is a true and accurate copy as it existed at the time of publication, to the
`
`extent it was published prior to when she purportedly downloaded it on July 30,
`
`2013 (F.R.E. 901). Therefore, the declaration, and testimony regarding Exhibit
`
`1033, is both prejudicial and irrelevant to any issue in this proceeding. (F.R.E.
`
`402; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61; F.R.E. 403).
`
`Furthermore, the O’Neil Second Declaration seeks to verify the source of
`
`Exhibit 1033 even though it is inadmissible supplemental evidence and not
`
`relevant to any issue of this proceeding. (F.R.E. 402; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61; 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.23(b); 37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II, § I).
`
`Consequently, the O’Neil Second Declaration is irrelevant, outside the scope of
`
`Patent Owner’s Response, and constitutes impermissible supplemental evidence.
`
`(37 C.F.R. § 42.223; 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b); 37 C.F.R. § 42, Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide, part II, § I).
`
`All the statements contained in the O’Neil Second Declaration are out of
`
`court statements offered for the truth of the matter asserted therein and constitute
`
`impermissible hearsay. (F.R.E. 801, 802). Further, the O’Neil Second Declaration
`
`refers to out of court statements offered for the truth of the matter asserted therein,
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`and they also constitute impermissible hearsay. (Id.)2 Nor has a showing been
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`made that a hearsay exception or exclusion applies.
`
`Additionally, the O’Neil Second Declaration is not relevant because O’Neil
`
`is not qualified to testify and lacks the necessary “scientific, technical, or other
`
`specialized knowledge [to] help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to
`
`determine a fact in issue” because she is not sufficiently knowledgeable about the
`
`subject matter on which she has offered her opinions in her declaration. (F.R.E.
`
`702; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61; 37 C.F.R. § 42.65; see also F.R.E. 402, 703, 705).
`
`Accordingly, permitting any reliance on this purported expert testimony in
`
`submissions of Petitioner would be misleading and unfairly prejudicial to Patent
`
`Owner. (F.R.E. 403).
`
`IV. OBJECTIONS TO EXHIBIT 1042 AND ANY REFERENCE
`TO/RELIANCE THEREON
`
`Patent Owner hereby objects to Exhibit 1042, Declaration of Scott Andrews,
`
`dated September 6, 2013 (“Andrews Third Declaration”).
`
`Grounds for objection: 37 C.F.R. § 42.61 (Admissibility of Evidence),
`
`F.R.E. 402 (Relevance), F.R.E. 403 (Excluding Relevant Evidence for Prejudice,
`
`2 For example, in ¶ 4, O’Neil refers to Exhibit 1033 and the date it was
`
`purportedly “adopted” by the American Academy of Actuaries and “republished”
`
`by the Actuarial Standards Board.
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`6
`
`
`
`
`Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons), F.R.E. 901 (Authentication), 37
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`C.F.R. § 42.223 (Filing of Supplemental Evidence), F.R.E. 702, 703, 705 (Witness
`
`Not Qualified to Provide Expert Testimony), F.R.E. 602 (Lack of Personal
`
`Knowledge), F.R.E. 801, 802 (Impermissible Hearsay), 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b)
`
`(Outside Scope of Response and Petition), and the Andrews Third Declaration is
`
`unauthorized testimony.
`
`Patent Owner advanced no position that provides a proper basis for the
`
`belated submission of the Andrews Third Declaration or the exhibits referenced
`
`therein, i.e., the Andrews Second Declaration (Exhibit 1027). (37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.23(b); 37 C.F.R. § 42.223; 37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide,
`
`part II, § I). The statements in the Andrews Third Declaration have no relevant
`
`bearing on any issue properly raised in this proceeding or argued by Patent Owner.
`
`(F.R.E. 402, 403; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61). Rather, the Andrews Third Declaration is an
`
`attempt to raise new theories to support invalidity arguments in an effort to
`
`establish a prima facie case of unpatentability of the claims that should have been
`
`submitted with the Petitioner’s petition.3 The content of the Andrews Third
`
`
`3 For example, in ¶ 3, Andrews challenges Patent Owner’s objection that he
`
`is raising new theories in order to make out a prima facie case. Andrews bases this
`
`challenge on his understanding that “the Board already found [a prima facie case]
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`7
`
`
`
`
`Declaration and Exhibit 1027 is either inapplicable or should have been submitted
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`when the petition for review was filed, not after the institution of this trial. (F.R.E.
`
`403; 37 C.F.R. § 42.223; 37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II,
`
`§ I).
`
`Further, Andrews’s new testimony could have been elicited during direct
`
`examination in the first instance. (Id.) Andrews’s attempt to now offer testimony
`
`in his Third Declaration is not rebuttal evidence and must not be allowed to
`
`remedy any deficiency with the improperly filed Andrews Second Declaration.
`
`The Andrews Third Declaration was not authorized by the Board. None of
`
`the PTAB rules or regulations authorizes filing new testimonial evidence in
`
`conjunction with a Petitioner reply that does not arise from the submission of a
`
`
`(continued…)
`
`
`to exist in its Institution Decision.” As indicated in footnote 1, supra, this
`
`challenge demonstrates Petitioner’s and Andrews’s profound misunderstanding as
`
`to what is proper to raise in a Reply or rebuttal declaration. The fact that the Board
`
`instituted this case does not mean that Petitioner and Andrews are free to later raise
`
`new arguments and introduce new evidence that should have been offered at the
`
`time of filing the Petition – theories to which Patent Owner has no opportunity to
`
`rebut or respond.

`
`in light of the prejudice to Patent Owner because there is no opportunity to respond
`

`

`
`37 C.F.R. 42, Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II, § I).
`
`All the statements contained in the Andrews Third Declaration are out of
`
`court statements offered for the truth of the matter asserted therein and constitute
`
`impermissible hearsay. (F.R.E. 801, 802). Further, the Andrews Third Declaration
`
`refers to out of court statements offered for the truth of the matter asserted therein,
`
`and they also constitute impermissible hearsay. (F.R.E. 801, 802).4 Nor has a
`
`showing been made that a hearsay exception or exclusion applies.
`
`Additionally, the Andrews Third Declaration is not relevant because
`
`Andrews is not qualified to testify and lacks the necessary “scientific, technical, or
`
`other specialized knowledge [to] help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or
`

`702; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61; 37 C.F.R. § 42.65; see also F.R.E. 402, 703, 705).
`
`
`4 For example, in ¶ 3, Andrews refers to his Second Declaration.
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`9
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, permitting any reliance on this purported expert testimony
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`submissions of Petitioner would be misleading and unfairly prejudicial to Patent
`
`Owner. (F.R.E. 403).
`
`V. OBJECTIONS TO EXHIBIT 1043 AND ANY REFERENCE
`TO/RELIANCE THEREON
`
`Patent Owner hereby objects to Exhibit 1043, Declaration of Jordan M.
`
`Rossen (“Rossen Second Declaration”), an attorney in the office of Petitioner’s
`
`counsel, dated September 9, 2013.
`
`Grounds for objection: 37 C.F.R. § 42.61 (Admissibility of Evidence),
`
`F.R.E. 402 (Relevance), F.R.E. 403 (Excluding Relevant Evidence for Prejudice,
`
`Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons), F.R.E. 901 (Authentication), 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.223 (Filing of Supplemental Evidence), F.R.E. 702, 703, 705 (Witness
`
`Not Qualified to Provide Expert Testimony), F.R.E. 602 (Lack of Personal
`
`Knowledge), F.R.E. 801, 802 (Impermissible Hearsay), 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b)
`
`(Outside Scope of Response and Petition), and the Rossen Second Declaration is
`
`unauthorized testimony.
`
`Petitioner apparently presents the Rossen Second Declaration in an attempt
`
`to verify the source, date and/or authenticity of Exhibits 1029 and 1034-1039 and
`
`substantiate the allegations in Exhibit 1040. However, the Rossen Second
`
`Declaration simply reiterates allegations from Exhibit 1040, indicating that Exhibit
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`10
`
`
`
`
`1029 “bear[s] a library identification and date stamp.” He also states that Exhibit
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`1029 “was” a true and correct copy and that he did not obtain or copy the pages
`
`himself but rather it was done by an unnamed person. (See Rossen Second
`
`Declaration at ¶ 3). And, as to Exhibits 1029 and 1034-1039, Rossen admits that
`
`his First Declaration is in “error” and that he downloaded documents on August
`
`16, 2013. (See id. at ¶ 4). However, the Rossen Second Declaration only
`
`establishes that he allegedly downloaded documents on August 16, 2103, not that
`
`Exhibits 1034-1038 are, in fact, true and accurate copies. Rossen also fails to
`
`provide any relevant statement or personal knowledge regarding the original
`
`publication date of Exhibits 1029 and 1034-1038 or that the statements in Exhibit
`
`1040 are accurate. (F.R.E. 402, 602, 901; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61). He fails to establish
`
`any proper basis for concluding that Exhibits 1029 and 1034-1038 are true and
`
`accurate copies as they existed at the time of publication. (F.R.E. 402, 901; 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.61). Therefore, the declaration and testimony regarding Exhibits 1029
`
`and 1034-1038 are both prejudicial and irrelevant to any issue in this proceeding.
`
`(F.R.E. 402, 403; 37 C.F.R. § 42.61).
`
`The Rossen Second Declaration is also unauthorized. None of the PTAB
`
`rules or regulations authorizes filing a new declaration as to new exhibits in
`
`conjunction with a Petitioner Reply that do not arise from the submission of a
`
`substitute claim or is responsive to a Patent Owner’s claim amendments, especially
`
`CLI-2141240
`
`11
`
`
`
`
`in light of the prejudice to Patent Owner because there is no opportunity to respond
`
`Case CBM2013-00009
`Patent 8,140,358
`
`to or rebut new declarations submitted at this stage. Furthermore, the Rossen
`
`Second Declaration seeks to verify the source of documents that are inadmissible
`
`supplemental evidence and not relevant to any issue of this proceeding. (F.R.E.
`
`402; 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b); 37 C.F.R. § 42.61; 37 C.F.R. § 42.223; 37 C.F.R. 42,
`
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, part II, § I). Consequently, the Rossen Second
`
`Declaration is irrelevant, outside the scope of Patent Owner’s Response, and
`
`constitutes impermissible supplemental evidence. (Id.)
`
`All the statements contained in the Rossen Second Declaration are out of
`
`court statements offered for the truth of the matter asserted therein and constitute
`
`impermissible hearsay. (F.R.E. 801, 802). Further, the Rossen Second Declaration
`
`refers to out of court statements offered for the truth of the matter asserted therein,
`
`and they also constitute impermissible hearsay. (Id.)5 Nor has a showing been
`
`made that a hearsay exception or exclusion applies.
`
`VI. CONCLUSION
`For at least these reasons, the Patent Owner objects to Exhibits 1041-1043.
`
`
`
`
`5 In ¶¶ 3-4, Rossen refers to his First Declaration as to what it indicates and
`
`refers to a “library identification and date stamp” on Exhibit 1029.
