`Petitioner’s Objections to Patent Owner’s Exhibits U.S. Patent No. 6,216,158
`
`I.
`
`Introduction
`
`On October 18, 2018, Patent Owner filed its Response. Paper 11. In
`
`connection with filing its Response, Patent Owner also filed Exhibits EX2002,
`
`EX2003, and EX2004. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner submits the
`
`following objections to Patent Owner’s Exhibits EX2002, EX2003, and EX2004
`
`and any reference to or reliance upon these Exhibits.
`
`II. Objections Under the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE)
`
`a. EX2002
`
`This document is objected to as lacking foundation and lacking
`
`authentication under FRE 901, and this document is not self-authenticating under
`
`FRE 902. See FRE 901(a) (“To satisfy the requirement of authenticating or
`
`identifying an item of evidence, the proponent must produce evidence sufficient to
`
`support a finding that the item is what the proponent claims it is.”). Patent Owner
`
`provides no evidence whatsoever establishing that the item is what Patent Owner
`
`claims it is, how it was acquired, or how or when it was made.
`
`This document is further objected to as irrelevant, inadmissible, prejudicial,
`
`and confusing the issues under FRE 401-403 because Patent Owner has not
`
`established that this document was available to persons of ordinary skill in the art
`
`before the filing date of the ’158 patent.

`
`Petitioner’s Objections to Patent Owner’s Exhibits U.S. Patent No. 6,216,158
`
`This document is further objected to as incomplete under FRE 106, as it
`
`purports to be an article or journal publication but does not include any publication
`
`information or even page numbers.
`
`b. EX2003
`
`This document is objected to as lacking foundation and lacking
`
`authentication under FRE 901, and this document is not self-authenticating under
`
`FRE 902. See FRE 901(a). Patent Owner provides no evidence whatsoever
`
`establishing that the item is what Patent Owner claims it is, how it was acquired, or
`
`how or when it was made.
`
`This document is further objected to as irrelevant, inadmissible, prejudicial,
`
`and confusing the issues under FRE 401-403 because Patent Owner has not
`
`established that this document was available to persons of ordinary skill in the art
`
`before the filing date of the ’158 patent.
`
`This document is further objected to as incomplete under FRE 106, as it
`
`purports to be an article or journal publication but does not include any publication
`
`information or even page numbers.
`
`c. EX2004
`
`This document is objected to as lacking foundation and lacking
`
`authentication under FRE 901, and this document is not self-authenticating under
`
`FRE 902. See FRE 901(a). Patent Owner provides no evidence whatsoever

`
`Petitioner’s Objections to Patent Owner’s Exhibits U.S. Patent No. 6,216,158
`
`establishing that the item is what Patent Owner claims it is, how it was acquired, or
`
`how or when it was made.
`
`This document is further objected to as inadmissible hearsay not within any
`
`exception under FRE 801-807 because Patent Owner relies upon the statements
`
`quoted or paraphrased therein for the truth of the matter asserted.
`
`This document is further objected to as irrelevant, inadmissible, prejudicial,
`
`and confusing the issues under FRE 401-403, as it is unsworn testimony from a
`
`different proceeding and does not comport with 37 CFR 42.63.
`
`This document is further objected to as incomplete under FRE 106, as it is
`
`missing 73 pages, contains redactions, and relies upon unproduced documents
`
`necessary for completeness.
