`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`Petitioner misapprehends the evidentiary goals of this Board, sitting as a
`
`non-jury tribunal with a limited discovery scope. The Board has previously noted
`
`that “the Board, sitting as a non-jury tribunal with administrative expertise, is well-
`
`positioned to determine and assign appropriate weight to the evidence presented in
`
`this trial, without resorting to formal exclusion that might later be held reversible
`
`error.” Liberty Mutual Ins. Co. v. Progressive Casualty Ins. Co., CBM2012-
`
`00002, Paper 66 at 70 (January 23, 2014) (citing e.g., S.E.C. v. Guenthner, 395 F.
`
`Supp. 2d 835, 842 n.3 (D. Neb. 2005)). The Board should liberally construe the
`
`rules of evidence, here, and consider Patent Owner’s evidence of secondary
`
`considerations because that non-hearsay evidence is properly authenticated,
`
`relevant, and appropriate for Board examination.
`
`I.
`
`Exhibits 2004, 2015, and 2016 Are Not Hearsay and Are Properly
`Authenticated.
`Although addressed separately by Petitioner, Exhibits 2015 and 2016
`
`(collectively) are the same as Exhibit 2004. The papers that were filed together as
`
`Exhibit 2004 were simply separated into two separate exhibits for easier reference
`
`in the later filings. Those exhibits consist of press releases. The objections to all
`
`three of those exhibits1 are addressed together, here.
`
`                                                            
`1 Petitioner addresses these exhibits on pages 1-4 and 11-15 for Exhibit 2004
`and Exhibits 2015 and 2016, respectively. See Petitioner’s Motion to Exclude, Paper
`No. 23.
`

`
`1
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`A. Exhibits 2004, 2015, and 2016 Are Not Offered for the Truth of
`the Matter Asserted and Thus Are Not Hearsay.
`

`Rule 801 does not apply to exclude Exhibits 2004, 2015, and 2016 because
`
`those exhibits are not offered for the truth of the matter asserted in the statements.
`
`“Out-of-court statements constitute hearsay only when offered in evidence to prove
`
`the truth of the matter asserted.” Anderson v. United States, 417 U.S. 211, 219
`
`(1974). In one example of the complexity of this analysis, the Federal Circuit
`
`determined that the exclusion of emails discussing the difficulty of reaching a
`
`sample purity percentage was error. REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC v. Neste Oil Oyj,
`
`841 F.3d 954, 964 (Fed. Cir. 2016). Although the question of the required sample
`
`purity was an issue in the case, the emails were offered as proof of what the author
`
`knew about the required purity and when he knew it, not whether the purity level
`
`had been reached. Id. While the goal in admitting the statements, when the author
`
`knew of the purity requirements, was closely tied to whether the author had
`
`achieved those results, statements were permitted to prove the first even if they
`
`addressed the second.
`
`In this case, all three exhibits are offered as proof of the secondary
`
`considerations of non-obviousness. Specifically, they are offered to demonstrate
`
`that the George product, the commercial embodiment of the ’309 patent, was
`
`praised by others. Those exhibits are quoted as noting that the George product
`
`won a Best of Show award at the 2007 Macworld Expo (Patent Owner’s Response,
`

`
`2
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`Paper No. 16, at 26) and that it won additional awards from PC Magazine, LapTop
`
`and Mac|Life (Patent Owner’s Response, Paper No. 16, at 7 and 25-26). Patent
`
`Owner is offering those statements as indicia that the George product, embodying
`
`the claims of the ’309 patent, was praised by others. It is not the accuracy of the
`
`praise—whether or not the George product did win a Best of Show award or other
`
`awards—but rather the existence of the praise in the first place that is integral to
`
`the evaluation of secondary considerations. Since it is the praise as praise and not
`
`as evidence of the winning of awards, those statements are not offered for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted, and are by definition not hearsay. Consequently Exhibits
`
`2004, 2015, and 2016 should not be excluded and should be duly considered by the
`
`Board.
`
`B. Exhibits 2015 and 2016 Are Properly Authenticated Under Rule
`803(6).
`
`
`Exhibits 2015 and 2016 are further admissible under the exception of Rule
`
`803(6) because they are properly authenticated records of a regularly conducted
`
`activity. Rule 803(6) permits records of regularly conducted activity to be
`
`admitted if those records are supported by the testimony of “the custodian or other
`
`qualified witness.” Robert Friedman, Chairman and CEO of Chestnut Hill Sound
`
`Inc., Petitioner, submitted a sworn declaration in support of the admission of
`
`Exhibits 2015 and 2016 as business records.
`

`
`3
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`While Petitioner quibbles that the records are press releases generated by a
`
`third party, that is immaterial. As the Federal Circuit notes, “[c]ourts have made
`
`clear, however, that the “custodian or other qualified witness” who must
`
`authenticate business records need not be the person who prepared or maintained
`
`the records, or even an employee of the record-keeping entity…” Conoco Inc. v.
`
`Department of Energy, 99 F.3d 387, 391-92 (Fed. Cir. 1996). In Conoco the Court
`
`was faced with whether purchase statements generated for Koch Oil Company by
`
`Getty Oil Company, which were then transmitted to Conoco, and later to the
`
`Department of Energy, were admissible when ultimately offered as evidence by the
`
`Department of Energy). Despite the tortured chain of custody, the Federal Circuit
`
`determined that those invoices were admissible despite the authenticating party not
`
`being the originating party. Id.
`
`Like the purchase invoices in Conoco, Patent Owner’s evidence of praise by
`
`others meets all the requirements of Rule 803(6). Rule 803(6)(A) requires that the
`
`record of the act or event be made “at or near the time by--or from information
`
`transmitted by--someone with knowledge.” Exhibit 2015 published on January 12,
`
`2007, at or near the time of the Macworld Expo, quotes Jason Snell, the
`
`VP/Editorial Director of Macworld, cites to the Macworld Video Podcast (Podcast
`
`#5) featuring a profile of the Best of Show winners (which included the George
`
`product), and quotes Steve Krampf, who at the time was the CEO of Chestnut Hill
`

`
`4
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`Sound.2 Mr. Snell, the Macworld Podcast, and Mr. Krampf, all quoted at or near
`
`the time of the Macworld Expo, were persons with knowledge of the information
`
`underpinning the article.
`
`Likewise, Exhibit 2015 was published on April 27, 2007, at or near the time
`
`that the George system received its accolades from PC Magazine, LapTop, and
`
`Mac|Life. Mr. Krampf is again quoted expressing delight at the reception the
`
`George product received. Mr. Krampf, based upon his role in Chestnut Hill Sound
`
`at that time, was undoubtedly a person with knowledge of the acts and events
`
`surrounding the accolades for the George product.
`
`Mr. Friedman’s testimony further meets the requirements of Rule 803(6)(B)
`
`and (C) in that the record was kept in the regular course of the Patent Owner’s
`
`business, and making the record was a regular practice of that activity. Mr.
`
`Friedman testified that Chestnut Hill Sound Inc. regularly made a record of the
`
`Press Releases issued, and that the attached press releases (Exhibits 2015 and
`
`2016) are exact duplicates of the original press releases. See Friedman Decl., at ¶
`
`                                                            
`2 Petitioner complains that Krampf was not offered for cross-examination, and
`that this is somehow grounds to disregard the evidence of praise by others. But as
`explained above, Patent Owner does not present Exhibits 2015 and 2016 for the truth
`of the matters asserted regarding what awards the George product won or even what
`Mr. Krampf stated at the time. Patent Owner presents Exhibits 2015 and 2016 as
`evidence of praise by others for purposes of the secondary consideration analysis.
`Additionally, Mr. Krampf, the then-CEO of Chestnut Hill Sound, was not an “other”
`for purposes of the secondary consideration analysis.
`5
`

`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`4. As discussed above, the law does not require that Patent Owner generate the
`
`record to maintain it as a business record. See Conoco, 99 F.3d at 391-92.
`
`Otherwise, most business records (tax records, receipts, invoices from vendors,
`
`etc.) would not be considered to be valid business records.
`
`Elements (D) and (E) of Rule 803(6) are also satisfied since the declaration
`
`of Mr. Friedman was appropriately filed to support the exhibits, and there is no
`
`indication of a lack of trustworthiness. Since all of the elements of Rule 803(6) are
`
`met, Exhibits 2015 and 2016 are admissible.
`
`Petitioner is reading requirements into the Federal Rules of Evidence that do
`
`not exist. Petitioner asserts that the statements were not “made by an “employee or
`
`representative with knowledge of the act, event, condition, opinion, or diagnosis,
`
`recorded,” and thus [Patent Owner] has not shown that the business record
`
`exception, or any other exception to the rule against hearsay, applies these
`
`statements.” But that text does not appear within the scope of Rule 803(6).
`
`Finally, it bears repeating that Petitioner does not dispute that any of these
`
`laurels were bestowed upon Patent Owner’s product. Petitioner merely objects to
`
`the manner in which they are offered to the Board. The goal of the evidentiary
`
`rules in proceedings before the Board is not to prevent the admission of undisputed
`
`facts, but to review a record that is as complete as possible before determining the
`

`
`6
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`non-obviousness of a patent. The secondary considerations here are significant
`
`and worth evaluating on a complete record.
`
`II. Exhibits 2008 and 2009 Are Not Offered for the Truth of the
`Matter Asserted and Thus Are Not Hearsay.
`
`
`Exhibits 2008 and 2009, articles published about the George product in
`
`magazines, are not hearsay because those exhibits are not offered for the truth of
`
`the matter asserted in the statements. The Patent Owner, by offering these
`
`Exhibits, is establishing that the George product was commercially successful and
`
`that it was praised by others. The statements quoted in the Patent Owner’s
`
`Response are evidence of positive reviews, not the quality of the George product.
`
`Patent Owner’s Response cites these Exhibits pursuant to the secondary
`
`considerations analysis, namely the factors of commercial success and praise by
`
`others. For example, Patent Owner notes that “industry publications praised
`
`George’s remote device” and then cites Exhibit 2008 in support of that
`
`proposition. See Patent Owner’s Response, Paper No. 16, at 27. Exhibit 2008
`
`refers to George as an impressive package of technology, but Patent Owner did not
`
`cite Exhibit 2008 for the truth of the statement that George was in fact an
`
`impressive package of technology. Rather, Patent Owner cited Exhibit 2008 as
`
`evidence that George was commercially successful and praised by others in the
`
`relevant industry.
`

`
`7
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`Patent Owner’s Response goes on to quote the article calling the system “an
`
`impressive package of technology, a great iPod speaker system, and a very good
`
`desktop stereo.” Patent Owner is not attempting to prove that George is
`
`impressive, great, or even very good, but rather Patent Owner is offering these
`
`statements as evidence of commercial success and praise by others, as embodied
`
`by rave reviews from industry publications. Likewise, Patent Owner continues to
`
`cite to Exhibit 2008 to note that the reviewer describes the “unique and compelling
`
`combination of features” of the challenged system. But Patent Owner is not
`
`attempting to prove that the combination of features is unique and compelling.
`
`Patent Owner is simply offering these statements as indicia for the secondary
`
`factors of commercial success and praise by others. The statements made in these
`
`Exhibits are about the specific features of the George system. The Patent Owner is
`
`offering these statements as evidence of praise by others. The out of court
`
`declarant offers no statements regarding praise by others. Consequently, these
`
`statements are not hearsay since they are not offered to prove the truth of the
`
`matter asserted, and they are admissible. Petitioner’s objections regarding the
`
`admissibility of Exhibit 2008 under Rule 801 should be overruled.
`
`In the same vein as Exhibit 2008, several citations are made to Exhibit 2009
`
`to illustrate the secondary considerations of commercial success and praise by
`
`others. Specifically, Exhibit 2009 is cited as describing George as having four and
`

`
`8
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`a half stars, being very capable, having a wide variety of functions, being
`
`advanced, easy to use, and the “new king of the iPod dock mountain.” Patent
`
`Owner is not attempting to prove that the challenged claims are any of those
`
`things. Patent Owner is instead offering these statements as indicia of the praise by
`
`others in the industry and commercial success of the George product, which
`
`embodied the challenged claims.
`
`III. Exhibit 2014 Is Also Admissible Because It Captures Admissions
`by Party Opponent.
`
`Petitioner’s objections to statements made by the Petitioner in Exhibit
`
`
`
`
`2014 are explicitly excluded from hearsay under Rule 801(d)(2). The statement
`
`that the Petitioner was “impressed with [Patent Owner] Chestnut Hill Sound’s
`
`technology plans and that no one else in the industry had approached [Petitioner]
`
`with a similar plan” was offered by Petitioner’s representative to the Patent Owner.
`
`It is by definition, not hearsay and should be considered by the Board, as should
`
`any other statements made by Petitioner to Patent Owner. If Petitioner wishes to
`
`dispute whether that statement was made, then it should offer counter-evidence.
`
`Petitioner’s sales of the George product in its stores (Exhibit 2014 at ¶¶ 20-
`
`21) are likewise an admission by a party-opponent. U.S. v. McIntyre, 997 F.2d
`
`687, 703-04 (10th Cir. 1993) (“Some nonverbal conduct, such as the act of
`
`pointing to identify a suspect in a lineup, is clearly the equivalent of words,
`

`
`9
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`assertive in nature, and to be regarded as a statement.”). These statements are not
`
`hearsay, by definition, and should be evaluated by the Board.
`
`IV. The Board Should Consider Patent Owner’s Evidence Under the
`Residual Hearsay Exception.
`

`In addition, the above-raised arguments, the residual hearsay exception also
`
`applies, and Patent Owner’s evidence should be considered by the Board. Rule
`
`807 provides that a hearsay statement is not excluded if: (1) the statement has
`
`equivalent circumstantial guarantees of trustworthiness; (2) it is offered as
`
`evidence of a material fact; (3) it is more probative on the point for which it is
`
`offered than any other evidence that the proponent can obtain through reasonable
`
`efforts; and (4) admitting it will best serve the purposes of these rules and the
`
`interests of justice. For example, the statement that the George product won the
`
`Best of Show award at the 2007 Macworld Expo has equivalent circumstantial
`
`guarantees of trustworthiness because it is independently verifiable by reviewing
`
`the Macworlds website:
`
`http://www.macworld.com/article/1054835/bosprofile.html (Mathew Honan, Expo
`
`Best of Show winner profiles, MACWORLD, published Jan. 12, 2007, last visited
`
`March 28, 2017). Visiting Macworld’s website reveals that the George product
`
`was one of several which won Best of Show in 2007. Patent Owner is offering the
`
`statement as evidence of a material fact: it is one of several indicia of secondary
`
`considerations that go directly to the issue of the non-obviousness of the claims of
`

`
`10
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`the ’309 patent. The exhibits offered are more probative than any other evidence
`
`available to Patent Owner through reasonable efforts, since the custodian of the
`
`Macworld records is not under the control of Patent Owner.
`
`Finally, admitting the evidence serves both the evidentiary rules and justice.
`
`Petitioner is not disputing that Patent Owner’s product won Best of Show,
`
`Petitioner merely wants to exclude that evidence because it shows the praise from
`
`others that the product embodying the claims of the ’309 patent received. It is not
`
`the goal of the Federal Rules of Evidence to exclude facts upon which there is no
`
`dispute. The offered exhibits fall within the residual exception, and establishing
`
`this as an exceptional case is not required by Board precedent. QSC Audio
`
`Products, LLC v. Crest Audio, Inc., Final Written Decision in IPR2014-00127
`
`(April 29, 2015) (finding that the four requirements of Rule 807 were met, with no
`
`analysis of whether it was an “exceptional case”).
`
`
`
`V.
`
`Patent Owner Requests That the Board Take Judicial Notice of
`Filings Before the District Court and Readily Ascertainable Facts.
`

`Petitioner’s objections to Exhibit 2004 and 2014 (filed in the District Court
`
`litigation) as unauthenticated are spurious. Petitioner cannot accurately contend
`
`that the documents are not authentic copies of the district court filings (and it does
`
`not so contend). Instead, Petitioner complains that Patent Owner did not provide
`

`
`11
`
`

`

`Case IPR2016-00794
`Patent 8,090,309

`
`evidence that it is an authentic copy of the district court filing. Judicial records are
`
`“capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to unquestionable sources,”
`
`and therefore, judicial notice of records filed before other tribunals is appropriate.
`
`VirtualAgility Inc. v. Salesforce.com, Inc., 759 F.3d 1307, 1312-13 (Fed. Cir. 2014)
`
`(taking judicial notice of filing before the Board). Consequently, Patent Owner
`
`requests that the Board take judicial notice of Exhibits 2004 (and by extension the
`
`excerpted Exhibits 2015 and 2016) and 2014 and find that they are properly
`
`authenticated.
`
`If the Board is unpersuaded by the arguments regarding hearsay and
`
`authentication presented herein with respect to Exhibits 2008, 2009, 2015, and
`
`2016, Patent Owner requests that the Board take judicial notice of the fact that the
`
`George product won Best of Show at the 2007 Macworld Expo under Rule 201 and
`
`that the Board take judicial notice of the various reviews published about the
`
`George product. The facts in question are adjudicative facts (existence of the
`
`accolades and praise, not the content) which can be accurately and readily
`
`determined on the Macworld Expo website and the websites of the reviews, cited
`
`above. The accuracy of those websites in publishing their own content, such as the
`
`Best of Show winners, cannot be reasonably questioned.
