`PATENT OWNER FOCAL IP, LLC’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`SUBMITTED UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01257
`Patent 8,457,113
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner Focal IP, LLC hereby
`
`Paper No. 32
`
`
`
`objects to the following evidence submitted, relied on, or cited to by Petitioner Cisco
`
`Systems, Inc. in connection with Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Response
`
`filed on June 26, 2017 and Petitioner’s Opposition to Patent Owner’s Contingent
`
`Motion to Amend filed on June 26, 2017.
`
`1. The use of Exhibits 1146 (U.S. Patent No. 6,442,169 to Lewis) and
`
`proposed substitute Exhibit 1147 (U.S. Patent No. 6,333,931 to LaPier) in
`
`connection with the Petition for Inter Partes Review is objected to under
`
`Fed. R. Evid. 401-403 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.62. Trial was not instituted with
`
`respect to these prior art references. These Exhibits are therefore irrelevant
`
`to this proceeding. Alternatively, these Exhibits are unfairly prejudicial,
`
`misleading, and confuse the issues.
`
`2. Exhibits 1148 and 1149 (Transcripts of Deposition of Regis “Bud” Bates
`
`in IPR2016-01259, IPR2016-01261, IPR2016-01262, and IPR2016-
`
`01263) are objected to as hearsay under Fed. R. Evid. 801-802 because
`
`they are transcripts of depositions taken in other proceedings with different
`
`claims and/or prior art at issue and Mr. Bates was available for deposition
`
`in this proceeding. In addition, Exhibits 1048 and 1049 are objected to
`
`under Fed. R. Evid. 401-403 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.62 because the deposition
`
`was taken in different proceedings with different claims and/or prior art at

`
`issue.
`
` The Exhibits are therefore irrelevant to this proceeding.
`
`Alternatively, the Exhibits are unfairly prejudicial, misleading, and
`
`confuse the issues.
`
`3. Exhibit 1156 (Expert Declaration of Dr. Thomas F. La Porta for IPR2016-
`
`01259, IPR2016-01261, IPR2016-01262, and IPR2016-01263) is objected
`
`to as hearsay under Fed. R. Evid. 801-802 because Dr. LaPorta’s
`
`declaration was prepared for third parties in different proceedings with
`
`different claims and/or prior art at issue, and Dr. La Porta was not subject
`
`to deposition in this proceeding. In addition Exhibit 1156 is objected to
`
`under Fed. R. Evid. 401-403 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.62 because the declaration
`
`is from different proceedings with different claims and/or prior art at issue.
`
`The Exhibit is therefore irrelevant to this proceeding. Alternatively, the
`
`Exhibit is unfairly prejudicial, misleading, and confuses the issues.
