`
`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO PATENT OWNER’S SUPPLEMENTAL
`EVIDENCE PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`1 Cases IPR2016-01191 and IPR2016-01343 have been joined with the instant
`proceeding.
`
`

`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner submits the following
`
`objections to the evidence that Patent Owner first served on October 24, 2016:
`
`Evidence
`Ex. 2125-2128
`
`
`Petitioner’s Objections
`Relevance
`
`The above-listed documents should be excluded because they are not
`
`relevant. See Fed. R. Evid. 401–403. For example, none of Exhibits 2125-2128 are
`
`cited by Patent Owner in its Response (Paper 32). Petitioner reserves its right to
`
`submit additional objections to these exhibits if and when Patent Owner cites or
`
`relies upon them.
`
`Patent Owner also cites testimony from other IPR proceedings not joined
`
`with the present proceeding, as well as other litigation with different prior art at
`
`issue from the present proceeding. See, e.g., Exs. 2125, 2126.
`
`Evidence
`Exs. 2125
`
`The above-listed document should be excluded because it is hearsay and
`
`Petitioner’s Objections
`Hearsay
`
`Patent Owner cannot establish a hearsay exception for admissibility. See
`
`Fed. R. Evid. 801(c)(2).
`
`Evidence
`Exs. 2125
`
`The above-listed document should be excluded because it contains content
`
`Petitioner’s Objections
`Fed. R. Evid. 602, 702-703
`
`
`
`over which the testifier has no personal knowledge, as well as putative expert
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`
`testimony that is unqualified, unreliable, and based on facts or data that experts in
`
`the field would not reasonably rely upon. See Fed. R. Evid. 602, 702-703; Daubert
`
`v. Merrell Dow Pharms., Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993). For example, Exhibit 2125
`
`contains testimony from Clet Niyikiza regarding topics about which he had no
`
`personal knowledge, and for which he is not qualified to testify as an expert.
`
`Evidence
`Ex. 2125
`
`Petitioner’s Objections
`37 C.F.R. § 42.53
`
`The above-listed document should be excluded because it contains trial
`
`testimony that is not submitted in the form of an affidavit and, despite requests to
`
`Patent Owner, an opportunity for cross-examination has thus far been denied. See
`
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.51(b)(1)(ii), 42.53.
