`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S RESPONSE TO PETITIONERS’
`MOTION TO EXCLUDE
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Along with this response, Patent Owner files Exhibits 2350 and 2351 which
`
`were timely served as supplemental evidence on June 16, 2015. See Attachment A.
`A. Exhibit 2311
`Exhibit 2311 is Admissible
`
`Ex. 2311 is a “demonstrative chronology
`
`detailing Verrazano development milestones from the date of conception to the
`
`constructive reduction to practice as shown in the foregoing exhibits.” Patent
`
`Owner’s Resp., Paper 29 (“POR”) at 30-31. Ex. 2311 illustrates—in a way that
`
`helps the Board identify and understand—the facts that are independently set forth
`
`in the referenced exhibits. All of the exhibits referenced in Ex. 2311 were
`
`specifically discussed in Patent Owner’s Response, generally with either specific
`
`page references (where appropriate), or parentheticals explaining the significance.
`
`POR at 30-32. The Board has the discretion to allow the exhibit as a demonstrative
`
`under FRE 611(a). Fed. R. Evid. 611(a), 1972 Advisory Committee Notes; U.S. v.
`
`McElroy, 587 F.3d 73, 81-82 (1st Cir. 2009) (“Our case law permits the use of
`
`summary tools to clarify complex testimony and evidence . . . Rule 611(a)
`
`testimony and exhibits typically are used as pedagogical devices to clarify and
`
`simplify complex testimony or other information and evidence or to assist counsel
`
`in the presentation of argument to the court or jury.”) (internal quotation marks and
`
`citations omitted). Ex. 2311 is merely a helpful and convenient reference in
`
`understanding the timeline of events as set forth in the underlying evidence.
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`The statements in the “Event” column do not “improperly characterize the
`
`evidence,” (Mot. at 2); in any event, the Board, which has access to the substantive
`
`evidence cited, may readily determine this without excluding the entire exhibit.
`
`No Improper Incorporation By Reference “The prohibition against
`
`incorporation by reference minimizes the chance that an argument would be
`
`overlooked . . . incorporation is a pointless imposition on the court’s time as it
`
`requires the judges to play archeologist with the record.” Rules of Practice for
`
`Trials Before PTAB, Final Rule, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,612, 48,617 (Aug. 14, 2012)
`
`(emphasis added). The rule prevents the improper incorporation of arguments, not
`
`citations to evidence. 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a). Petitioners characterization of the
`
`“Events” column in Ex. 2311 as argument is proven false by a cursory review. Ex.
`
`2311 is merely a summary demonstrative exhibit, which does the exact opposite of
`
`improper incorporation—it illumines the argument in Patent Owner’s Response,
`
`while saving the Board time by pointing to the exact location of the relevant
`
`evidence in the voluminous record.1
`
`1 Petitioners’ argument that it is improper incorporation to include specific page
`
`citations in Ex. 2311 that are not found in the Patent Owner’s Response (Mot. at 2)
`
`is unsupported by authority or even explanation, and Patent Owner cannot
`
`accordingly respond. To the extent Petitioners introduce such an explanation or
`
`authority in their reply, it is improper.

`

`
`
`B.
`Exhibits 2300-2304, 2306-2310, and 2312-2323
`1.
`Documents Referenced in Bianchi Declaration
`Rule 803(6) – Business Records Exception
`Petitioners attack certain
`
`exhibits collectively2 as not meeting the business records exception, apparently
`
`based on the premise that they are laboratory notebooks. Of course, they are not all
`
`laboratory notebooks; the only exhibits that could be considered such are Exhibits
`
`2313 and 2322.3 Petitioners’ appeal to Corning, which relates to lab notebooks,
`
`does not apply to the other exhibits. Nor does Petitioners’ appeal to Alpert v.
`
`Slatin—none of the cited exhibits are “reports of scientific research and tests.”
`
`Rather, these documents were created by Crossroads as it conducted its business—
`
`the design and creation of new products. See Ex. 2350 ¶ 5.
`
`Petitioners assert that Crossroads has not properly shown the elements of the
`
`exception by the testimony of the custodian or other qualified witness. Mot. at 4.
`
`Petitioners’ arguments are premised on the following implicit requirements: the
`
`custodian/witness must (1) personally “create, store, or supervise the creation or
`
`storage” of the records (Mot. at 5); (2) be “involved with – or [possess] first-hand
`
`or personal knowledge relating to” the creation or storage of the records (id.), (3)
`
`have been the records’ custodian at the time the records were made (Mot. at 5-6).
`
`
`2 Exhibits 2303, 2307-09, 2312, 2314, 2316-21, and 2323. Mot. at 6.
`
`3 Which Petitioners apparently exclude from this particular challenge. Mot. at 6.
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`Petitioners provide no citations to authority for these underlying premises. This is
`
`not surprising, considering that they contradict well-established law.
`
`First, “it is not necessary that a sponsoring witness be employed by the
`
`business at the time of the making of each record.” United States v. Evans, 572
`
`F.2d 455, 490 (5th Cir. 1978); see also United States v. Scallion, 533 F.2d 903, 915
`
`(5th Cir. 1976) (“It is argued that some of the witnesses . . . were not employed
`
`there at the time the records were made. However, in the case of each record
`
`introduced, the present custodian testified that the record was kept in the regular
`
`course of the hotel’s business”). There is also no requirement that the witness have
`
`been personally involved with the creation or storage of the records:
`
`Under Rule 803(6), a custodian or an otherwise “qualified witness”
`can lay the evidentiary foundation to ensure the records’
`trustworthiness. A “qualified witness” is not required to have
`“personally participated in or observed the creation of the
`document,” United States v. Moore, 791 F.2d 566, 574 (7th Cir.
`1986), or to have known who actually recorded the information, see
`United States v. Dominguez, 835 F.2d 694, 698 (7th Cir. 1987).
`There is no requirement that the witness be able to personally attest
`to its accuracy. See United States v. Duncan, 919 F.2d 981, 986
`(5th Cir. 1990). The term “qualified witness” is interpreted broadly.
`It requires only someone who understands the system used to
`record and maintain the information. See Moore, 791 F.2d at 574-
`75. “The witness ‘need only be someone with knowledge of the
`procedure governing the creation and maintenance of the type of
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`record sought to be admitted.’“ Dominguez, 835 F.2d at 698
`(quoting United States v. Keplinger, 776 F.2d 678, 693 (7th Cir.
`1985)).
`
`United States v. Sofidiya, No. 97-4681, 1998 U.S. App. LEXIS 27056, *8-9 (4th
`
`Cir. Oct. 23, 1998) (emphasis added). Based on Petitioners’ objection that Mr.
`
`Bianchi did not have knowledge of the procedures at the time of the records’
`
`creation, Crossroads provided supplemental evidence showing that, in fact, he had
`
`been instructed as to those procedures. Ex. 2351 ¶¶ 3-5. Crossroads also provided
`
`the declaration of John Middleton, who provided additional testimony as to the
`
`relevant procedures in place when the business records in question were created
`
`and stored. Ex. 2350 ¶¶ 3-6. This testimony satisfies the rule. See, e.g., Better
`
`Bags, Inc. v. Redi Bag USA LLC, C.A. No. H-09-3093, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS
`
`130525, at *21-23 (S.D. Tex. Nov. 10, 2011) (explaining that declarant’s testimony
`
`that she had been instructed on the standard practices during the time period the
`
`records were made satisfied the rule, especially in light of a supporting declaration
`
`from the witness at the time the records were made that it was the standard practice
`
`of the business “to make and store contemporaneous records of the regularly
`
`conducted business during the time period at issue.”)
`
`Exhibits 2303 and 2323
`
`Petitioners correctly point out that these letters
`
`were not created by Crossroads, but by Crossroads’ patent counsel. The letters
`
`enclosed draft patent applications. These letters are authenticated under FRE
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`
`901(b)(4), which states that the “appearance, contents, substance, internal patterns,
`
`or other distinctive characteristics of the item, taken together with all the
`
`circumstances,” is sufficient authentication. In addition to the appearance and
`
`distinctive characteristics of these letters, which indicate they come from
`
`Crossroads’ counsel at Baker Botts, additional circumstances indicate their
`
`authenticity. First, Mr. Bianchi testified that these were duplicates of documents
`
`contained in Crossroads’ patent files and kept during the ordinary course of
`
`business. Ex. 2324 ¶ 2(a). Second, Patent Owner provided the sworn testimony of
`
`the author (prosecution counsel), taken much closer in time to the date of the letter
`
`than the current proceeding, that the signature on Ex. 2303 was, in fact, his own.
`
`Ex. 2304 at 20:23-22:2 (referencing Bates No. 41920). Overall, the circumstances
`
`indicate these are authentic letters.4
`
`Documents received by a business, although not themselves created by the
`
`business, are properly considered business records under FRE 803(6). See, e.g.,
`
`Falcon Jet Corp. v. King Enters., 678 F.2d 73, 77 (8th Cir. 1982) (explaining that
`
`4 The fact that Ex. 2323 references two enclosures but includes only one does not
`
`indicate a lack of trustworthiness as to the source of the information, or the method
`
`or circumstances of their preparation, as Petitioners assert (Mot. at 6). FRE
`
`803(6)(E). At worst, it indicates a mere oversight by the sender in failing to include
`
`the second enclosure.
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`invoices received from businesses were admissible business records pursuant to
`
`803(6)); Black Sea & Baltic Gen. Ins. Co. v. S.S. Hellenic Destiny, 575 F. Supp.
`
`685, 691 (S.D.N.Y. 1983) (records properly admitted that were actually received
`
`during the ordinary course of business). Here, the relevant record made by
`
`Crossroads under FRE 803(6) was Crossroads’ receipt and storage in the ordinary
`
`course of business. In such circumstances, the demands of the business records
`
`exception for the admission of trustworthy evidence have been met.
`
`Patent Owner relies on Ex. 2303 to prove complete conception prior to the
`
`critical period. POR at 28. Patent Owner relies on Ex. 2323 to show that its patent
`
`counsel was working on constructively reducing the invention to practice during
`
`the critical period. Id. at 24-25. Thus, the material facts for which these documents
`
`are relevant is that they were in existence and sent by prosecution counsel on the
`
`indicated dates. The fact that Crossroads received and kept these records in its
`
`patent files pursuant to its normal procedures for such documents is therefore
`
`sufficient to satisfy the business records exception.
`
`If this is not sufficient, these exhibits should be admitted pursuant to the
`
`residual exception of FRE 807. The documents and circumstances, as discussed,
`
`have equivalent circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness, are offered as
`
`evidence of a material fact, are more probative on the point for which offered (the
`
`very existence and dates of the documents themselves) than any other evidence,
`
`7
`
`

`

`
`
`and admitting them best serves the purposes of both the rules and the interests of
`
`justice. The documents themselves provide the declarant’s names and addresses.
`
`Exhibits 2307 and 2308
`
`Exhibits 2307 and 2308 are Crossroads’
`
`business records, admissible pursuant to the testimony of Brian Bianchi. Ex. 2324
`
`¶ 2(b). The fact that the documents contain legends bearing the name of Infinity
`
`CommStor, LLC,5 is irrelevant given this testimony. Petitioners took the deposition
`
`of Mr. Bianchi, and had ample opportunity to explore any confusion as to why or
`
`how these documents were Crossroads’ business records; however, they did not
`
`ask any questions regarding these documents. See Exs. 1221-22. Petitioners also
`
`failed to specify this grounds of objection (that the documents appear to be Infinity
`
`CommStor records) with sufficient particularity to allow Crossroads an opportunity
`
`to correct it in the form of supplemental evidence, and have therefore waived this
`
`grounds pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1). See Ex. 1236 at 6 (failing to specify
`
`particular grounds).
`
`Exhibits 2312
`
`Petitioners’ objections are (1) relevance pursuant to FRE
`
`402, and (2) inadmissible hearsay. Mot. at 7. Petitioners did not object on the basis
`
`of relevance and have waived the objection pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1).
`
`See Ex. 1236 (failing to specify relevance objection to Ex. 2312). Patent Owner
`
`5 Infinity CommStor is Crossroads’ precursor company. Ex. 2301 at p. 5 of 46
`
`(internal page/line 111:15-25)
`
`8
`
`

`

`
`
`also provided supplemental evidence as to the meaning of drawing revision
`
`updates. Ex. 2350 ¶ 4. As to hearsay, the document is a Crossroads business record
`
`admissible pursuant to the testimony of Mr. Bianchi. Ex. 2324.
`
`Exhibits 2318 and 2321
`
`Petitioners cite no requirement that business
`
`records bear an author’s name or that the proponent of a business record identify
`
`the author, and no such requirements exist. See FRE 902(11) and 803(6). These
`
`documents are authenticated and admissible pursuant to the testimony of Mr.
`
`Bianchi. Ex. 2324 ¶ 2(b).
`
`Exhibits 2312, 2316-2320
`
`Petitioners seek exclusion pursuant to FRE
`
`401-402. Mot at 7-8. Petitioners did not object on these bases, waiving the
`
`objection pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1). See Ex. 1236. Moreover, Patent
`
`Owner’s Response cites these documents as evidence. POR at 30. Petitioners cite
`
`no basis for their unexplained “meaningful discussion” requirement (Mot. at 7-8),
`
`and therefore Patent Owner has no way to distinguish or otherwise analyze case
`
`law on the issue, to the extent any exists.
`
`2.
`
`Documents “not specifically referenced” in Bianchi
`Declaration
`Exhibits 2301, 2302, 2304, 2306, and 2310
`
`Exhibit 2301 contains
`
`trial transcripts of the suit brought by Crossroads against Chaparral Network
`
`Storage, Inc., for infringement of the ‘972 Patent at issue with regards to
`
`Crossroads’ conception and reduction to practice arguments. Exs. 2302, 2306, and
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`
`2310 contain excerpts from the depositions of inventors Geoff Hoese and Jeffry
`
`Russell from the same case. Ex. 2304 contains excerpts from the deposition of
`
`Anthony Peterman, Crossroads’ prosecution counsel that wrote the ‘972 Patent
`
`Application.
`
`With the exception of Mr. Peterman’s deposition, Patent Owner offered this
`
`testimony to provide context for its conception and reduction to practice
`
`arguments. See POR at 28-32. Essentially, this testimony supplements Patent
`
`Owner’s other evidence and provides context for the Board, but is not the sole
`
`basis for Patent Owner’s arguments. Accordingly, the Board should admit it
`
`pursuant to FRE 611 as pedagogical in nature.
`
`Ex. 2304, the Peterman deposition, relates to Ex. 2303, the letter and draft
`
`patent application sent by Peterman to Crossroads which itself proves complete
`
`conception before the critical date. At his deposition, taken approximately three
`
`years after he sent Ex. 2303 to Crossroads, Peterman testified that he could not
`
`remember sending the letter. Ex. 2304 at 21:24-22:2 (“Q. So did you forward a
`
`draft of the application . . . on July 11th, 1997? A. You know, I don’t remember
`
`that I did, but the letter says I did. I have no reason to think that I would – I mean,
`
`the letter says I sent him a draft. I guess I did.”). Peterman’s only relevant
`
`testimony for purposes of the instant proceeding is that the signature on Ex. 2303
`
`was, in fact, his. Ex. 2304 at 21:2-4. Under FRE 804(a)(3), accordingly, Mr.
`
`Peterman is considered unavailable because he testified as to not remembering the
`
`10
`
`

`

`
`
`subject matter—the circumstances surrounding the letter. FRE 804(a)(3). Mr.
`
`Peterman testified that, in November 2000, he had no memory of sending a letter
`
`in 1997. Peterman’s sworn testimony that he could not remember in November
`
`2000 makes him unavailable under the rule fifteen years later.
`
`Because Peterman must be considered unavailable under 804(a)(3), the only
`
`question is whether Patent Owner offers his testimony against “a party who had—
`
`or, in a civil case, whose predecessor in interest had—an opportunity and similar
`
`motive to develop it by direct, cross-, or redirect examination.” FRE 804(b)(1).
`
`Petitioners assert that merely because they are not corporate “successors-in-interest
`
`to the parties against whom the testimony was being offered in those earlier cases,”
`
`they are not considered “predecessors in interest” by Rule 804(b)(1). This is not
`
`the law.
`
`Those circuit courts that have considered the issue have explained that a
`
`“predecessor in interest” pursuant to the rule is any party having (1) a motive,
`
`similar to the one held by the present party, to cross-examine the witness about the
`
`same matter; and (2) an adequate opportunity for such examination. For example,
`
`the Third Circuit explained that:
`
`While we do not endorse an extravagant interpretation of who or
`what constitutes a “predecessor in interest,” we prefer one that is
`realistically generous over one that is formalistically grudging. We
`believe that what has been described as “the practical and expedient
`
`11
`
`

`

`
`
`view” expresses the congressional intention: “if it appears that in
`the former suit a party having a like motive to cross-examine about
`the same matters as the present party would have, was accorded an
`adequate opportunity for such examination, the testimony may be
`received against the present party.” Under these circumstances, the
`previous party having like motive to develop the testimony about
`the same material facts is, in the final analysis, a predecessor in
`interest to the present party.
`
`Lloyd v. American Export Lines, Inc., 580 F.2d 1179, 1187 (3d Cir. 1978). See
`
`Horne v. Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp., 4 F.3d 276, 282-283 (4th Cir. 1993)
`
`(“[P]rivity is not the gravamen of the analysis. Instead, the party against whom the
`
`deposition is offered must point up distinctions in her case not evident in the earlier
`
`litigation that would preclude similar motives of witness examination.”); Clay v.
`
`Johns-Manville Sales Corp., 722 F.2d 1289, 1294-1295, (6th Cir. 1983) (adopting
`
`the Third Circuit’s position in Lloyd); Rule v. International Association of Bridge,
`
`Structural Ornamental Iron Workers, Local 396, 568 F.2d 558, 569 (8th Cir.
`
`1977); see also Culver v. Asbestos Defendants (BP), No. C 10-03484 SI, 2010 U.S.
`
`Dist. LEXIS 125130, *11-12, (N.D. Cal. Nov. 12, 2010) (“It does not appear that
`
`any circuit court has expressly disavowed this interpretation of Rule 804.”).
`
`Here, because the context and issue in the prior proceedings was identical to
`
`that here—swearing behind the Kikuchi reference in a patent infringement action—
`
`the prior parties had the exact same motives as Petitioners, and of course
`
`12
`
`

`

`
`
`opportunity to do so in the deposition. Accordingly, Mr. Peterman’s prior
`
`testimony should be admitted.
`
`Even if not admitted under FRE 804, Mr. Peterman’s testimony—along with
`
`the additional prior testimony in Exhibits 2301, 2302, 2306, and 2310—should be
`
`admitted under the residual exception in FRE 807. The fact that this evidence is
`
`sworn testimony given in a court of law provides “equivalent circumstantial
`
`guarantees of trustworthiness.” It is offered as evidence of material facts. In the
`
`Peterman deposition, the specific material fact is whether it is his signature on Ex.
`
`2303. For the other transcripts, as evidence corroborative of Crossroads’
`
`conception and reduction to practice. The Peterman deposition is more probative
`
`on the point—whether it is his signature—than any other evidence Patent Owner
`
`could obtain through reasonable efforts, and admitting it will serve the purposes of
`
`these rules and the interests of justice. Courts in similar situations have found prior
`
`sworn testimony also admissible under FRE 870. See, e.g., Dartez v. Fibreboard
`
`Corp., 765 F.2d 456, 462-63 (5th Cir. 1985) (“If these defendants had been present
`
`at the deposition, it is unlikely that any additional material information would have
`
`been elicited. . . . [W]e conclude that this sworn testimony taken at an adversary
`
`proceeding presents the ‘equivalent guarantees of trustworthiness’ required by [the
`
`residual exception] . . . .).”
`
`Exhibits 2300, 2313, and 2322
`
`Exhibit 2300 is Crossroads’ business
`
`record authenticated by Mr. Bianchi and is thus admissible. Ex. 2324. Exhibits
`
`13
`
`

`

`
`
`2313 and 2322 are an inventor’s notebooks and authentication testimony from the
`
`inventor was cited in Ex. 2301 at 44-45 (referencing Exhibits 263 and 274).
`
`However, as with the preceding exhibits, these exhibits are not critical to Patent
`
`Owner’s arguments on conception and diligence. However, given the
`
`circumstances they should be admitted pursuant to FRE 807. Petitioner failed to
`
`preserve its FRE 401-402 objections to Ex. 2313. See Ex. 1236 at 6.
`
`C. Exhibit 2050 (Schedule of License Agreements)
`Regarding the first six columns of Ex. 2050, Ms. Crane testified that she
`
`prepared them all based on the settlement agreements in Ex. 2052. Ex. 1223 at
`
`24:24-25:10. These columns are thus an admissible summary under FRE 1006.
`
`However, Petitioners challenge the entirety of the schedule based on issues with
`
`the last two columns. One of these two columns provide Bates numbers for the
`
`license agreements in Ex. 2052, and were added by counsel purely for the
`
`convenience of the Board and Petitioners in identifying the relevant agreements.
`
`The other column indicates whether or not there was litigation with the licensee
`
`regarding the ‘972 patent family, and is completely consistent with whether or not
`
`the licenses in Ex. 2052 reflect on their face the existence of such litigation. These
`
`columns were provided for the convenience of the Board, and their content is
`
`completely contained and may be verified from the face of the licenses in Ex.
`
`2052. Accordingly, these last two columns should also be admitted under FRE
`
`1006. However, to the extent the Board believes they are improper, Patent Owner
`
`14
`
`

`

`
`
`requests the Board, in the interest of justice pursuant to FRE 102, permit Patent
`
`Owner to file a corrected version omitting these two columns.
`
`D. Exhibits 2044-45 (Sales Information) and Ex. 2043 (Bianchi
`Declaration) ¶ 6
`Exhibit 2044 contains a summary of Crossroads’ shipment and sales records.
`
`Ex. 1221 at 159:3-161:2. It is thus admissible pursuant to FRE 1006. The underlying
`
`records were available pursuant to the rule, but Petitioners have never requested
`
`examination or copying, nor did they ever object to the lack of availability of the
`
`records. Ex. 1236 at 3-4. Accordingly, Ex. 2044 is admissible based on Mr. Bianchi’s
`
`testimony in Ex. 2043. Ex. 2045 is merely a demonstrative based on the information
`
`in Ex. 2044 and should be admitted pursuant to FRE 611(a). U.S. v. McElroy, 587
`
`F.3d at 81-82. The remainder of Petitioners’ objections to these exhibits go to the
`
`appropriate weight, and not admissibility of the evidence, and should be overruled.
`
`Finally, paragraph 6 of Mr. Bianchi’s declaration does not purport to offer an
`
`expert opinion, but his impression based on his personal knowledge and experience at
`
`Crossroads, and is therefore admissible pursuant to FRE 701. Ex. 2043 ¶ 6.
