`
`Patent 6,173,403 & 5,289,889
`
`In accordance with Rule 42.64(b), Patent Owner hereby objects to the following
`
`documentary evidence:
`
`0 United States Patent No. 6,859,533 entitled “System and Method for Transferring the
`Right to decode Massages in a Symmetric Encoding Scheme”;
`
`0
`
`January 2005 PowerPoint presentation entitled “On DRM Interoperability and
`Compatibility”;
`
`0
`
`2005 article entitled “Rights Expression Languages in Digital Rights Management”; -
`
`0 United States Patent No. 6,519,700 entitled “Self-Protecting Documents”;
`
`0 April 2013 Expert Report of John P. Pettitt;
`
`0 August 2001 article entitled “Technical Details on Microsoft Product Activation for
`Windows XP”; and
`
`-
`
`February 2002 article entitled “The Windows XP Product Activation Guide.”
`
`All of the seven above-listed evidence post-dates date the filing of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,173,403 &
`
`5,289,889, which are the subject of these two review proceedings. As such, none are relevant to
`
`the issues pending before the Board.
`
`Patent Owner further objects to the aforementioned document and the below~listed
`
`documentary evidence:
`
`0 United States Patent No. 7,139,736 entitled “Content Rendering Repository”;
`
`0 May 1994 article entitled “Fact Sheet on Digital Signature Standard”; and
`
`0 November 1996 article entitled “The SSL Protocol Version 3.0.”
`
`None of these ten documents were cited by Petitioner in its Petition to initiate either of the two
`
`review proceedings. Moreover, the Board did not utilize any of these documents to support a
`
`ground of rejection for any of the claims-in-question. As such, these documents do not provide a
`
`proper basis for consideration by the Board.

`
`Patent 6,173,403 & 5,289,889
`
`Petitioner is not entitled to use these documents as rebuttal evidence given that Patent
`
`Owner made no amendment to any claim in the proceedings. And, to the extent that Petitioner
`
`otherwise seeks to utilize these documents, it must satisfy its burden to explain why they could
`
`not have been earlier produced. Petitioner has made no effort to meet this burden. By providing
`
`these specific grounds of objection, Patent Owner does not waive its right to identify further
`
`grounds of objections upon formal service by Petitioner.
`
`Patent Owner hereby reserves its right to file a motion to exclude one or more of the
`
`above-listed documents from consideration in this review proceeding. Patent Owner further
`
`reserves its right to object to, and exclude, any supplementation attempted by Petitioner pursuant
`
`to Rule 42.64(b)(2). This objection should not be construed as an admission by Patent Owner
`
`that the matters which are objected to are, in fact, an evidentiary issue for which Rule
`
`42.64(b)(2) would apply.
