`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
`
`Zur Forderung der Angewandten Forschung E.V. (“PO” or “Fraunhofer”), submits
`
`the following objections to evidence accompanying the Petitioner’s Reply. These
`
`objections are timely under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) because they are being filed
`
`within five (5) business days of the February 18, 2020 service of evidence to which
`
`the objections are directed.
`
`Fraunhofer reserves the right to present further objections to these or
`
`additional Exhibits submitted by Petitioner, as allowed by the applicable rules or
`
`other authority, including without limitation upon conclusion of any depositions
`
`taken of Petitioner’s witnesses.

`
`At least paragraphs 1-4, 6-8, 12, 13, 16, 35, 36,
`42, and 62-110 are improper as they are cited
`nowhere in the Reply. Moreover, at least
`paragraphs 3-108 include conclusory statements
`and/or mischaracterizations of the patent and/or
`cited art and address new arguments and/or new
`grounds of alleged invalidity not previously
`raised in the Petition or Institution Order.
`Accordingly, these are not relevant to any issue
`in the case and/or any probative value is
`substantially outweighed by the danger of
`unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue
`delay, and wasting time. Nor are these
`paragraphs properly responsive to the Patent
`Owner Response.
`
`At least paragraphs 3-108 include conclusory

`
`patent and/or cited art, which are not based on
`sufficient facts or data, are irrelevant, are not
`based on a reliable foundation, and/or constitute
`conclusory opinions without sufficient support.
`See also Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharms, Inc.,
`509 U.S. 579 (1993).
`Exhibit 1026 401, 402, 403 Not relevant to any issue in the case and/or any
`probative value is substantially outweighed by
`the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the
`issues, undue delay, and wasting time. The
`exhibit is only used in support of new
`arguments and/or new grounds of alleged
`invalidity not previously raised in the Petition
`or Institution Decision. Moreover, the exhibit
`is not properly responsive to the Patent Owner
`Response.
`Exhibit 1027 401, 402, 403 Not relevant to any issue in the case and/or any
`probative value is substantially outweighed by
`the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the
`issues, undue delay, and wasting time. The
`exhibit is only used in support of new
`arguments and/or new grounds of alleged
`invalidity not previously raised in the Petition
`or Institution Decision. Moreover, the exhibit
`is not properly responsive to the Patent Owner
`Response.
`Exhibit 1028 401, 402, 403 Not relevant to any issue in the case and/or any
`probative value is substantially outweighed by
`the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the
`issues, undue delay, and wasting time. The
`exhibit is only used in support of new
`arguments and/or new grounds of alleged
`invalidity not previously raised in the Petition
`or Institution Decision. Moreover, the exhibit
`is not properly responsive to the Patent Owner
`Response.
`Not relevant to any issue in the case and/or any
`probative value is substantially outweighed by

`
`exhibit is cited nowhere in the Petition or
`Reply. Moreover, the exhibit appears to be an
`improper attempt to present new, previously
`undisclosed excerpts from the reference
`originally cited as Ex. 1008.
`
`The exhibit, excerpting from a book, is an
`incomplete part of a writing.
`Exhibit 1032 401, 402, 403 Not relevant to any issue in the case and/or any
`probative value is substantially outweighed by
`the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the

`exhibit is cited nowhere in the Petition or
`Reply.
