`
`FRE 702/703 to the extent that the patent owner seeks to rely on
`statements made in an exhibit as improper expert opinion, the exhibit is
`objected to on the grounds that it: (i) is not based on sufficient facts or
`data; and/or (ii) is not the product of reliable principles and methods;
`and/or (iii) is unreliable because the exhibit is not of a type reasonably
`relied upon by experts in the field.
