`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64
`
`
`
`

`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`IPR2016-00151 (U.S. Patent No. 8,141,154)
`
`
`Patent Owner Finjan, Inc. (“Finjan”) objects under the Federal Rules of
`
`Evidence and 37 C.F.R. § 42.64 to the admissibility of the declaration of Dr. Aviel
`
`Rubin (the “Rubin Declaration”) and the annotated figures included in Petitioner’s
`
`Petition submitted by Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (“Petitioner”).
`
`The Institution Decision issued on April 20, 2016. Paper No. 10. The Board
`
`instituted trial for claims 1-8, 10, and 11 on the ground of obviousness over Ross
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Id. Finjan’s objections are timely under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.64(b)(1). Finjan serves Petitioner these objections to provide notice that Finjan
`
`will move to exclude the evidence as improper evidence.
`
`I.
`
`Rubin Declaration (Ex. 1002)
`
`Finjan objects to the admissibility of the Rubin Declaration for at least the
`
`following reasons: Under FRE 702, Dr. Aviel Rubin’s opinions are inadmissible
`
`because they are conclusory, do not disclose underlying facts or data in support of
`
`his opinions, and are unreliable. Additionally, Dr. Aviel Rubin is unqualified as an
`
`expert to provide technical opinions of a person skilled in the art. See Ex. 1002, Ex.
`
`A (Curriculum Vitae of Dr. Aviel Rubin). As such, his opinions are inadmissible
`
`under FRE 702. His opinions are also irrelevant, confusing, and of minimal
`
`probative value under FRE 401, 402, and 403.

`
`
`II. Annotated Figures
`Finjan objects to the admissibility of the Annotated Figures included in
`
`Petitioner’s Petition (Paper No. 2) for at least the following reasons: Petitioner is
`
`improperly relying on annotated figures that are not directly from U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,141,154 (“the ’154 Patent”) or U.S. Patent Publication 2007/0113282 (“Ross”).

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner has failed to authenticate these annotated exhibits
`
`under FRE 901 and FRE 602 because these exhibits are not the same exhibits as
`
`those in the ’154 Patent and Ross. These exhibits are also not self-authenticating
`
`under FRE 902, not the original as required by FRE 1002, and not a “duplicate” as
`
`defined by FRE 1001(e) and FRE 1003. Finjan further objects to the selective
`
`inclusion of figures from the ’154 Patent and Ross. Under FRE 106, the complete
`
`version of the figures from the ’154 Patent and Ross should be considered. To the
`
`extent that Petitioner attempts to rely on these annotated exhibits, these annotations
`
`are hearsay under FRE 801 and are inadmissible under FRE 802 and FRE 803.
`
`- 6 -
`
`

`
`
`Because of these deficiencies, the annotated exhibits are not relevant under FRE
`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`IPR2016-00151 (U.S. Patent No. 8,141,154)
`
`401 and are inadmissible under FRE 402 and FRE 403.
