`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner Google LLC (hereinafter,
`
`“Google”) respectfully submits the following objections:
`
`Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response as not properly
`
`within the public record. 37 C.F.R. § 42.14.
`
`Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to
`
`the attorney arguments and accompanying discussions contained therein (Paper 7,
`
`pp. 1-17), as they lack relevance and are, therefore, inadmissible. Such arguments
`
`and their accompanying discussions lack relevance because they do not make any
`
`fact of consequence more or less probable. FED. R. EVID. 401, 402. Google
`
`further objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to the
`
`attorney arguments and accompanying discussions contained therein (Paper 7, pp.
`
`1-17), because their probative value, if any, is substantially outweighed by the
`
`danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, misleading the fact finder, undue
`
`delay, wasting time, and/or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence. FED. R.
`
`EVID. 403. Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and
`
`particularly to the attorney arguments and accompanying discussions contained
`
`therein (Paper 7, pp. 1-17), as essentially attorney testimony by a witness lacking
`
`competency, personal knowledge, and/or as improper opinion testimony by a lay
`
`witness. FED. R. EVID. 601, 602, 701.

`Petitioner’s Objections
`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-02059
`
`
`Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to
`
`the statements regarding the network connection of prior art reference Inoue (US
`
`2004/0109066), prior art reference Nicholas (US 2004/0133668) in relation to
`
`personal computers or the like, any/all discussion of simultaneous presence of
`
`multiple networks, and the accompanying discussions contained therein (Paper 7,
`
`pp. 1, 2, and 6-17), as lacking relevance because they do not make any fact of
`
`consequence more or less probable. FED. R. EVID. 401, 402. Google objects to
`
`Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to the statements regarding
`
`the network connection of prior art reference Inoue (US 2004/0109066), prior art
`
`reference Nicholas in relation to personal computers or the like, any/all discussion
`
`of simultaneous presence of multiple networks, and the accompanying discussions
`
`contained therein (Paper 7, pp. 1, 2, and 6-17), because their probative value, if
`
`any, is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the
`
`issues, misleading the fact finder, undue delay, and/or wasting time. FED. R. EVID.
`
`403.
`
`Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to
`
`the statements regarding the status of patent rights, for example, those concerning
`
`constitutionality of inter partes review, and the accompanying discussions
`
`contained therein (Paper 7, pp. 1, 2-3), as lacking relevance because they do not
`
`make any fact of consequence more or less probable. FED. R. EVID. 401, 402.

`Petitioner’s Objections
`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-02059
`
`
`Inter partes review is available for all qualified patents and does not consider
`
`issues of validity or cancellation, but rather of unpatentability. 35 U.S.C. § 311(b).
`
`Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to the
`
`statements regarding the status of patent rights and the accompanying discussions
`
`contained therein (Paper 7, pp. 1, 2-3), because their probative value, if any, is
`
`substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
`
`misleading the fact finder, undue delay, and/or wasting time. FED. R. EVID. 403.
`
`Google objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to
`
`the statements regarding effective filing dates and the accompanying discussions
`
`contained therein (Paper 7, pp. 3-4), as lacking relevance because they do not make
`
`any fact of consequence more or less probable. FED. R. EVID. 401, 402. Google
`
`objects to Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, and particularly to the statements
`
`regarding the status of effective filing dates and the accompanying discussions
`
`contained therein (Paper 7, pp. 3-4), because their probative value, if any, is
`
`substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
`
`misleading the fact finder, undue delay, and/or wasting time. FED. R. EVID. 403.
