`U.S. Patent No. 8,923,941
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Apple”) hereby
`
`objects under the Federal Rules of Evidence (“FRE”) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.62 to the
`
`admissibility of Exhibit 2006 cited in Valencell, Inc.’s Patent Owner’s Response
`
`(Paper 22). These objections are being timely filed within five (5) business days of
`
`the Patent Owner’s service of the exhibit to which these objections are directed.
`
`Apple files and serves Valencell with these objections to provide notice that Apple
`
`may move to exclude Exhibit 2006 under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c).
`
`1.
`
`Exhibit 2006
`
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2006, specifically at least ¶¶ 40, 76-77, 80, 85,
`
`87, 97-98 as improper expert testimony under FRE 702 and 703. The testimony is
`
`based on insufficient facts or data, is not the product of reliable principles and
`
`methods, and the expert has not reliably applied the appropriate principles and
`
`methods to the facts of the case.
`
`In addition, at least ¶ 40 is inadmissible as irrelevant pursuant to FRE 401,
`
`402, and 403 because it has not been relied upon in support of any argument made
`
`in the Patent Owner Response. Any arguments not made in the Patent Owner
`
`Response are deemed waived. See Paper 11 at 3.
