`
`R.J. REYNOLDS VAPOR COMPANY,
`
`Petitioner
`

`FONTEM HOLDINGS 1 B.V.,
`

`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-01268
`Patent 8,365,742
`
`
`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO PATENT OWNER’S EVIDENCE
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company
`
`(“Petitioner”) objects to the evidence submitted by Patent Owner Fontem Holdings
`
`1 B.V. with the Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response To Petition For Inter Partes
`
`Review (Paper 8) filed October 7, 2016.
`
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2001 (Declaration of Richard Meyst) as lacking
`
`sound evidentiary basis, biased, vague, misleading, confusing the issues, and more
`
`prejudicial than probative under FRE 403. If Meyst is presented as a lay witness,
`
`Petitioner objects under FRE 701 that the testimony is based on alleged scientific
`
`and/or technical knowledge. If Meyst is presented as an expert witness, Petitioner
`
`objects under FRE 702 that the testimony is not based upon sufficient facts or data
`
`and is not the result of application of reliable principles and methods. Petitioner
`
`further objects under FRE 703 that the facts or data are not of a type reasonably
`
`relied upon by experts. Any paragraph in the Meyst Declaration that relies upon
`
`any exhibit not relied upon by the PTAB to institute this proceeding is further
`
`objected to as not being relevant and therefore being inadmissible under FRE 401
`
`and 402.
