`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner California Institute of
`
`Technology (“Caltech”), submits the following objections to Petitioner Apple
`
`Inc.’s (“Petitioner”) Exhibits 1129-1143. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.62, Patent
`
`Owner’s objections below apply the Federal Rules of Evidence (“F.R.E.”).
`
`II. OBJECTIONS
`
`Caltech objects to Ex. 1129, “OCLC Record of Proceedings of the 36th
`
`Allerton Conference on Communication, Control and Computing”; Ex. 1130,
`
`“Declaration of Library Expert Theodore A. Fons”; Ex. 1131, “Affidavit of Pamela
`
`Stansbury”; Ex. 1132, “Affidavit From Dr. Bruce Hajek”; Ex. 1133, “Affidavit
`
`from Dr. Tamer Başar”; Ex. 1134, “Affidavit from Dr. Ramavarapu Sreenivas”;
`
`Ex. 1135, “Declaration of Dr. Brendan Frey”; Ex. 1136, “A Screen Capture of an
`
`Archived Version of the Website for the 37th Annual Allerton Conference”; Ex.
`
`1137, “A Purchase Order for the 37th Allerton Conference Proceedings”; Ex. 1138,
`
`“A Bill of Lading for the 37th Annual Allerton Conference Proceedings”; Ex. 1139,
`
`“An Excerpt from the Deposition of Dr. Stephen Wicker”; Ex. 1140, “An Excerpt
`
`from the Deposition of Dr. Rüdiger Urbanke”; Ex. 1141, “Jafar A. Alzubi, Omar
`
`A. Alzubi, and Thomas M. Chen, ‘Forward Error Correction Based on Algebraic-
`
`Geometric Theory’”; Ex. 1142, “MARC Record of Proceedings of the 37th Allerton
`
`Conference on Communication, Control and Computing”; Ex. 1143, “BEACON
`
`-1-
`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-00701
`Patent 7,421,032
`
`
`
`Record of Proceedings of the 37th Allerton Conference on Communication, Control
`
`and Computing”.
`
`Grounds for Objection: F.R.E. 401 (Test for Relevant Evidence); F.R.E. 402
`
`(General Admissibility of Relevant Evidence); F.R.E. 403 (Excluding Relevant
`
`Evidence for Prejudice, Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons).
`
`Exhibits 1129-1143 are not cited in the petition that initiated this proceeding.
`
`As such, these exhibits are not relevant to the instituted ground of review or any
`
`other aspect of this proceeding as they have no tendency to make a fact more or
`
`less probable than it would be without the evidence. Moreover, to the extent
`
`Petitioner intends to rely on any of Exhibits 1129-1143 as evidence that the Frey or
`
`Divsalar references qualify in this proceeding as prior art printed publications,
`
`Exhibits 1129-1143 are not relevant to the purported dates of publication
`
`specifically asserted in the petition. Further, to the extent any of Exhibits 1129-
`
`1143 are deemed relevant admission of the exhibit would be unduly prejudicial,
`
`misleading, and a waste of time.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`Exhibits 1129-1143 were filed and served on October 31, 2017. These
`
`objections are made within five business days of service.
