`
`EXCLUSIVE LICENSEE RAPID COMPLETIONS LLC’S
`OBJECTIONS TO PETITIONERS’ EVIDENCE PURSUANT
`TO 37 C.F.R. §42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00598
`U.S. Patent No. 7,861,774
`Under the Federal Rules of Evidence and 37 C.F.R. § 42.64, Exclusive
`
`
`
`Licensee Rapid Completions LLC timely objects to evidence submitted with the
`
`Petitioners’ Petition for Inter Partes Review (Paper 1) filed February 19, 2015.
`
`Rapid Completions serves Petitioners with these objections to provide notice that
`
`Rapid Completions may move to exclude the challenged exhibits under 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.64(c) unless Petitioners cure the defects associated with the challenged
`
`exhibits identified below.
`
`Exhibit 1005—Daneshy Declaration
`
`Rapid Completions objects to the Daneshy Declaration under FRE 703 as
`
`relying on improper evidence under FRE 401–403, 801, and 901—as the
`
`prejudicial effect of this evidence outweighs any probative value that it may have.
`
`E.g., Daneshy Decl. ¶¶ 39, 46, 49, 50, 51, 67–78 (citing Thomson); ¶¶ 29, 33, 41,
`
`42, 46, 47, 49, 51, 65, 75–78 (citing Ellsworth). The following paragraphs provide
`
`specific objections to at least one of the documents that the declarant references in
`
`his declaration, and to the extent the declaration relies on these inadmissible
`
`documents, Rapid Completions objects to the declarant's testimony for the same
`
`reasons.
`
`Exhibit 1002—Thomson
`
`To the extent Petitioners rely on the contents of this document for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted (for example, to establish public accessibility as a printed
`
`publication), Rapid Completions objects to such contents as inadmissible hearsay
`

`
`

`
`
`Case IPR2016-00598
`U.S. Patent No. 7,861,774
`under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under any exceptions, including those of
`
`
`
`FRE 803, 804, 805, or 807.
`
`Rapid Completions also objects
`
`to
`
`this document as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901 because Petitioners have not presented any evidence
`
`that the document is authentic nor that the document is self-authenticating under
`
`FRE 902.
`
`And Rapid Completions objects to this document as irrelevant under FRE
`
`401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402, or as confusing or a waste of time under
`
`FRE 403 because this document is inadmissible under FRE 801, 802, and 901 as
`
`explained above.
`
`Exhibit 1003—Ellsworth
`
`To the extent Petitioners rely on the contents of this document for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted (for example, to establish public accessibility as a printed
`
`publication), Rapid Completions objects to such contents as inadmissible hearsay
`
`under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under any exceptions, including those of
`
`FRE 803, 804, 805, or 807.
`
`Rapid Completions also objects
`
`to
`
`this document as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901 because Petitioners have not presented sufficient
`
`evidence that the document is authentic nor that the document is self-authenticating
`
`under FRE 902.
