`
`Petitioners object to the document for lack of foundation. Patent Owner has
`
`not shown that the declarant has personal knowledge of the subject matter of the
`
`testimony as required by FRE 602.
`
`To the extent Patent Owner relies on the contents of this document to prove
`
`the content of the original document, Petitioners object to this document as not
`
`being an original document under FRE 1002, an authentic duplicate under FRE
`
`1003, nor a document that falls under any exceptions to the original-document
`
`requirement, including those of FRE 1004.
`
`Petitioners object to this document under FRE 1006 as an improper
`
`summary because Patent Owner has not shown that the contents of the original
`
`cannot be conveniently examined in court nor made the original or duplicates
`
`available for examination or copying. Petitioners further object to the document as
`
`an improper demonstrative. Patent Owner has not established a proper foundation
`
`for the evidence set forth in the document.
`
`Petitioners object to the document to the extent it offers opinion under FRE
`
`701 - 703. The declarant is not qualified to offer expert testimony, the testimony is
`
`not based on sufficient facts or data, and there is no indication that declarant has
`
`the expertise necessary to apply the law to the facts as would be necessary to opine
`
`under FRE 702. Further, there is no indication that the declarant based those
`
`opinions on facts or data upon which an expert in the relevant field would
`
`
`
`- 5 -

`
`reasonably rely. FRE 703. Further, testimony at these paragraphs falls outside
`
`TD Ameritrade’s Objections to TTI’s Evidence
`CBM2014-00131
`
`acceptable lay opinion testimony under FRE 701. A party may not evade the
`
`expert witness requirements of FRE 702 by simply designating the testimony as
`
`lay testimony under FRE 701.
`
`Petitioners object to the document as citing exhibits not served with the
`
`document as required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(1)(i).
