`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2016-00032
`U.S. Patent 7,212,999
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner objects to the following
`
`Petitioner Exhibits:
`
`1048 – Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary (11th ed.)
`
`1049 – Webster’s New World College Dictionary (4th ed.)
`
`1050 – U.S. Patent No. 6,408,282 to Buist
`
`1051 – New York Times, “Futures/Options; Automation in Trading,”
`
`December 10, 1984
`
`1052 – Intex Trading Screen
`
`1053 – New York Stock Exchange Annual Report 1983
`
`I.
`
`OBJECTIONS TO EXHIBITS 1048-1053
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibits 1048-1053 to the extent that Petitioners
`
`rely on their contents for the truth of the matters asserted therein. Exhibits 1048-
`
`1053 are inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and 802, and no exception applies.
`
`Further, Petitioners have submitted no evidence to authenticate Exhibits
`
`1051-1053 rendering these Exhibits inadmissible under FRE 901.
`
`Patent Owner also objects to Exhibits 1050-1053 as being irrelevant to the
`
`grounds instituted by the Board, and are therefore inadmissible under FRE 401
`
`and 402 because they lack a tendency to make any fact at issue in this proceeding
`
`more or less probable. Exhibits 1050-1053 are also inadmissible under FRE 403
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case CBM2016-00032
`U.S. Patent 7,212,999
`
`
`
`because their prejudicial value outweighs any probative value, and admission of
`
`such exhibits would waste time.
`
`Patent Owner also separately objects to Exhibit 1051 under FRE 401 and
`
`402 as irrelevant, or in the alternative, under FRE 403 as prejudicial and waste of
`
`time. Petitioners have not cited Exhibit 1051 anywhere. An uncited Exhibit is
`
`irrelevant, and, to the extent relevant, is prejudicial and a waste of time.
