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

`

`Case IPR2013-00601
`Patent 6,772,215
`
`
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.64, Patent Owner moves to exclude
`
`certain evidence as described in detail below. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64,
`
`Patent Owner timely served its objections to the exhibits below on Broadcom on
`
`October 7, 2014. See Exhibit No. 2023.
`
`I.
`
` Exhibit 1010.
`
`Exhibit 1010 is an excerpt from a document allegedly dated April 1999, and
`
`entitled “TIA/EIA Interim Standard; Data Service Options for Wideband Spread
`
`Spectrum Systems,” TIA/EIA/IS-707-A (Revision of TIA/EIA/IS-707). Broadcom
`
`alleges that this document is “contemporaneous evidence of how a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art would understand Seo’s disclosure of the circumstances in
`
`which certain fields exist and those circumstances in which they do not exist.”
`
`(Paper No. 49, n3 at 9.) Not so. This exhibit should be excluded for multiple
`
`reasons.
`
`First, Exhibit 1010 is dated April 1999, which postdates both the December
`
`31, 1998 filing date of Seo (Exhibit 1002) and the August 20, 1998 filing date of
`
`the Korean priority application to Seo. Broadcom has not shown how Exhibit
`
`1010, which is dated 4-8 months after Seo, is contemporaneous evidence of how
`
`one of ordinary skill in the art would interpret Seo. Furthermore, any probative
`
`value of Exhibit 1010 is substantially outweighed by a danger of unfair prejudice
`
`and confusing the issues. FED. R. EVID. 403. Second, Broadcom has not shown
`
`MOTION TO EXCLUDE EVIDENCE
`

`
`

`

`Case IPR2013-00601
`
`Patent 6,772,215
`
`why Exhibit 1010 could not have been included in its petition, and therefore
`
`Broadcom waived the right to base its invalidity position on Exhibit 1010. Third,
`
`Exhibit 1010 does not respond to any argument raised by Patent Owner in its
`
`response. 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b). Instead, Broadcom has lain behind the log and
`
`sprung Exhibit 1010 on the Patent Owner in its reply, precluding the Patent Owner
`
`from meaningfully responding to this exhibit. Fourth, Exhibit 1010 is not relevant
`
`to any issue in this case, is not helpful to the Board, and wastes judicial resources.
`
`FED. R. EVID. 401, 403. Fifth, Exhibit 1010 has not been authenticated, and
`
`Broadcom has not put forth any evidence linking Exhibit 1010 to the February
`
`1998 version of IS-707.2 referenced in Seo (Exhibit 1002). FED. R. EVID. 901.
`
`Indeed, the April 1999 date of Exhibit 1010 evidences that Exhibit 1010 does not
`
`reflect the February 1998 version of IS-707.2. Finally, Exhibit 1010 is
`
`inadmissible hearsay since Broadcom is attempting to prove the truth of the matter
`
`asserted in Exhibit 1010, including its alleged publication date. FED. R. EVID. 801,
`
`802. See e.g., Hilgraeve, Inc. v. Symantec Corp., 271 F. Supp. 2d 964, 974-75
`
`(E.D. Mich. 2003) (noting that copyright dates and other dates on a document are
`
`hearsay when offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted, such as that the
`
`document was publicly available as of that date). Accordingly, Exhibit 1010
`
`should be stricken.

`Case IPR2013-00601

`
`II.
`
`¶ 7 of Exhibit 1013.
`
`In ¶ 7 of his rebuttal expert declaration (Exhibit 1013), Dr. Bims opines as to
`
`his understanding of the disclosure of Seo (Exhibit 1002). For the same reasons
`
`above as to Exhibit 1010, ¶ 7 of Exhibit 1013 should be stricken. Specifically, by
`
`choosing not to include Exhibit 1010 in his opening declaration, Dr. Bims waived
`
`any testimony concerning this exhibit in his reply declaration, and therefore this
`
`testimony does not respond to an argument raised in Patent Owner’s response.
`
`Furthermore because Exhibit 1010 is inadmissible, this testimony is not relevant to
`
`any issue in the case, is not helpful to the Board, and waste judicial resources.
`
`Accordingly, this testimony should be stricken.
