`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s specific objections are provided below.
`
`Exhibit 1003 – Sarrafzadeh Declaration
`
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Sarrafzadeh Declaration as lacking foundation
`
`under FRE 702 and 705. For example, Dr. Sarrafzadeh’s testimony about
`
`obviousness, in paragraphs 87-88, 93, 105, 111, 117, 125, 128, 146, 153, 162, 167,
`
`5
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`and 184, which purportedly shows the disclosures and motivations to combine the
`
`various prior art references, is conclusory and therefore inadmissible. Patent Owner
`
`likewise objects to the Sarrafzadeh Declaration under FRE 703 and 705 for failure
`
`to disclose any underlying facts or data for his conclusory statements and there is no
`
`indication that the declarant based those opinions on facts or data upon which an
`
`expert in the relevant field would reasonably rely. Patent Owner further objects to
`
`conclusory paragraphs (e.g., ¶¶ 87-88, 93, 105, 111, 117, 125, 128, 146, 153, 162,
`
`167, and 184) under FRE 403 because the conclusory nature of the statements makes
`
`their probative value substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice,
`
`confusing the issues, unduly delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting
`
`cumulative evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1004 – Curriculum Vitae of Dr. Majid Sarrafzadeh
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Curriculum Vitae of Dr. Majid Sarrafzadeh as
`
`inadmissible because it constitutes improper incorporation by reference under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under
`
`FRE 403 because it is not relied upon in the Petition and thus its probative value is
`
`substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and
`
`needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`Exhibit 1006 – Fraden
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Fraden as inadmissible because it constitutes
`
`improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant
`
`under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon
`
`in the Petition and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger
`
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1008 – Debreczeny
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Debreczeny as inadmissible because it constitutes
`
`improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant
`
`under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon
`
`in the Petition and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger
`
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1009 – Numaga
`
`Patent Owner objects to Numaga as inadmissible because it constitutes
`
`improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant
`
`under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon
`
`in the Petition and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger
`
`7
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1010 – Numaga Translation
`
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Numaga Translation of JP2005040261A (Ex.
`
`1009) under FRE 602 because no evidence has been introduced to show the declarant
`
`had personal knowledge of the attested facts. Patent Owner further objects to the
`
`Numaga Translation under FRE 603 and 604 due to an improper oath in the
`
`certification.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Numaga Translation as inadmissible hearsay
`
`under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including
`
`those of FRE 803, 804, 805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Numaga Translation as not properly authenticated
`
`under FRE 901. There is no evidence that the Numaga Translation is authentic nor
`
`that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Numaga Translation under FRE 1002 because the
`
`certification is improper and does not comply with applicable rules and the Numaga
`
`Translation is thus not shown to be a true and correct translation. Absent a true and
`
`correct translation, Numaga (Exhibit 1009) is the best evidence.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Numaga Translation as inadmissible because it
`
`constitutes improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3).

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`Exhibit 1011 – Vetter
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Vetter as inadmissible because it constitutes improper
`
`incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant under FRE
`
`401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon in the Petition
`
`and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair
`
`prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1019 – Pologe
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Pologe as inadmissible because it constitutes
`
`improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant
`
`under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon
`
`in the Petition and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger
`
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1020 – J.G. Webster
`
`Patent Owner objects to J.G. Webster as not properly authenticated under FRE
`
`901. There is no evidence that J.G. Webster is authentic nor that the document is
`
`self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to J.G. Webster as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801
`
`and 802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including those of FRE 803,
`
`804, 805, or 807.
`
`9
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`Patent Owner objects to J.G. Webster under FRE 401-403 because its
`
`probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice,
`
`confusing the issues, unduly delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting
`
`cumulative evidence. For example, J.G. Webster is used to suggest the knowledge
`
`of one having ordinary skill in the art, yet it is clear that J.G. Webster represents
`
`knowledge of one having extraordinary skill in the art. For the same reasons, Patent
`
`Owner objects to J.G. Webster as irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible
`
`under FRE 402. Patent Owner further objects to J.G. Webster as irrelevant under
`
`FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402 to the extent that J.G. Webster is
`
`used as prior art for any reason, because Petitioner has produced no evidence that
`
`J.G. Webster was publicly available before the priority date of the ’941 Patent.
`
`Exhibit 1021 – Allen
`
`Patent Owner objects to Allen as not properly authenticated under FRE 901.
`
`There is no evidence that Allen is authentic nor that the document is self-
`
`authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Allen as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and
`
`802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including those of FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Allen under FRE 401-403 because its probative value
`
`is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
`
`10
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`unduly delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence. For
`
`example, Allen is used to suggest the knowledge of one having ordinary skill in the
`
`art, yet it is clear that Allen represents knowledge of one having extraordinary skill
`
`in the art. For the same reasons, Patent Owner objects to Allen as irrelevant under
`
`FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402. Patent Owner further objects to
`
`Allen as irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402 to the extent
`
`that Allen is used as prior art for any reason, because Petitioner has produced no
`
`evidence that Allen was publicly available before the priority date of the ’941 Patent.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Allen as inadmissible because it constitutes improper
`
`incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant under FRE
`
`401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon in the Petition
`
`and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair
`
`prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1022 – Hong
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Hong as inadmissible because it constitutes improper
`
`incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant under FRE
`
`401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon in the Petition
`
`and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair
`
`prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.

`Patent 8,923,941
`
`Exhibit 1024 – Bryars
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Bryars as inadmissible because it constitutes
`
`improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant
`
`under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not relied upon
`
`in the Petition and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger
`
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1025 – Han
`Patent Owner objects to Han as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and 802
`
`that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including those of FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Han as not properly authenticated under FRE 901.
`
`There only evidence purporting to authenticate Han is a Declaration (Exhibit 1052)
`
`that is not made on personal knowledge of the attested facts, and there is no evidence
`
`that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Han under FRE 401-403 because its probative value
`
`is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
`
`unduly delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence. For
`
`example, Han is used to suggest the knowledge of one having ordinary skill in the
`
`art, yet it is clear that Han represents knowledge of one having extraordinary skill in
`
`12
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`the art. For the same reasons, Patent Owner objects to Han as irrelevant under FRE
`
`401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402. Patent Owner further objects to Han as
`
`irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402 to the extent that
`
`Han is used as prior art for any reason, because Petitioner has produced no evidence
`
`that Han was publicly available before the priority date of the ’941 Patent.
`
`Exhibit 1026 – Merriam Webster
`
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Merriam Webster as not properly authenticated under
`
`FRE 901. There is no evidence that Merriam Webster is authentic nor that the
`
`document is self-authenticating under Federal Rule of Evidence 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Merriam Webster as inadmissible hearsay under FRE
`
`801 and 802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including those of FRE
`
`803, 804, 805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Merriam Webster as inadmissible because it
`
`constitutes improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3) and is
`
`irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403 because it is not
`
`relied upon in the Petition and thus its probative value is substantially outweighed
`
`by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting
`
`cumulative evidence.

`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`Exhibit 1030 – Maekawa Translation
`
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Maekawa Translation of Japanese Patent
`
`Application No. 2005/270544 (Ex. 1029) under FRE 602 because no evidence has
`
`been introduced to show the declarant had personal knowledge of the attested facts.
`
`Patent Owner further objects to the Maekawa Translation under FRE 603 and 604
`
`due to an improper oath in the certification.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Maekawa Translation as inadmissible hearsay
`
`under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including
`
`those of FRE 803, 804, 805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Maekawa Translation as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901. There is no evidence that the Maekawa Translation is
`
`authentic nor that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Maekawa Translation under FRE 1002 because
`
`the certification is improper and does not comply with applicable rules and the
`
`Maekawa Translation is thus not shown to be a true and correct translation. Absent
`
`a true and correct translation, Maekawa (Exhibit 1029) is the best evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1032 – Comtois
`
`Patent Owner objects to Comtois as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and
`
`802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including those of FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, or 807.
`
`14
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`Patent Owner objects to Comtois as not properly authenticated under FRE
`
`901. There only evidence purporting to authenticate Comtois is a Declaration
`
`(Exhibit 1033) that is not made on personal knowledge of the attested facts, and there
`
`is no evidence that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Comtois under FRE 401-403 because its probative
`
`value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the
`
`issues, unduly delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`For example, Comtois is used to suggest the knowledge of one having ordinary skill
`
`in the art, yet it is clear that Comtois represents knowledge of one having
`
`extraordinary skill in the art. For the same reasons, Patent Owner objects to Comtois
`
`as irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402. Patent Owner
`
`further objects to Comtois as irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under
`
`FRE 402 to the extent that Comtois is used as prior art for any reason, because
`
`Petitioner has produced no evidence that Comtois was publicly available before the
`
`priority date of the ’941 Patent.
`
`Exhibit 1033 – Grenier Declaration 1 (including attached exhibit)
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Grenier Declaration 1 under FRE 602 because no
`
`evidence has been introduced to show the declarant had personal knowledge of the
`
`attested facts.
`
`15
`
`

`

`
`those of FRE 803, 804, 805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Grenier Declaration 1 as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901. There is no evidence that the Grenier Declaration 1 is
`
`authentic nor that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to the Grenier Declaration 1 under 1002 because it is
`
`not the best evidence of the content of the article that it seeks to support (Comtois).
`
`Rather, the Comtois article itself (Ex. 1032) is the best evidence of its own content.

`Exhibit 1045 – Gupta
`
`Patent Owner objects to Gupta as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and

`802 that does not fall under any hearsay exception, including those of FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, or 807.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Gupta as not properly authenticated under FRE 901.
`
`There only evidence purporting to authenticate Gupta is a Declaration (Exhibit 1052)
`
`that is not made on personal knowledge of the attested facts, and there is no evidence
`
`that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`Patent Owner objects to Gupta under FRE 401-403 because its probative value
`
`is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
`
`unduly delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence. For
`
`example, Gupta is used to suggest the knowledge of one having ordinary skill in the
`
`art, yet it is clear that Gupta represents knowledge of one having extraordinary skill
`
`in the art. For the same reasons, Patent Owner objects to Gupta as irrelevant under
`
`FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402. Patent Owner further objects to
`
`Gupta as irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402 to the
`
`extent that Gupta is used as prior art for any reason, because Petitioner has produced
`
`20
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00321
`Patent 8,923,941
`
`no evidence that Gupta was publicly available before the priority date of the ’941

`
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence.
`
`Exhibit 1050 – Wiley
`
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Wiley as not properly authenticated under FRE 901.

`
`because it constitutes improper incorporation by reference under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.6(a)(3) and is irrelevant under FRE 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 403
