`PETITIONER’S NOTICE OF OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`
`
`
`

`Patent 9,253,239
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner Unified Patents (“Petitioner”)
`
`hereby submits its notice of objections to certain evidence that Patent Owner
`
`BRADIUM TECHNOLOGIES LLC (“Patent Owner”) included with the Patent
`
`Owner’s Preliminary Response filed September 24, 2018 in connection with Trial
`
`No. IPR2018-00952. The following objections are timely filed within five business
`
`days of September 24, 2018, which is the date of service of evidence to which the
`
`objections are directed. 37 C.F.R. 42.64(b)(1).
`
`Petitioner objects to the following Exhibits 2007, 2010-2011, 2014, 2018-
`
`2020, 2024-2025, and 2028-2030 under Fed. R. Evid. 901 (Authenticating or
`
`Identifying Evidence) because they have not been authenticated. Patent Owner has
`
`failed to produce evidence sufficient to support a finding that Exhibits 2007, 2010-
`
`2011, 2014, 2018-2020, 2024-2025, and 2028-2030 are what Patent Owner claims
`
`they are.

`
`
`
`Patent Owner has provided declaration testimony from its counsel, Chris
`
`Coulson, stating that Exhibits 2007, 2010-2011, 2024, and 2028-2030 are true and
`
`correct copies. See Declaration of Chris Coulson at pp. 1-4 (EX2026). However,
`
`this testimony is not sufficient to support a finding that Exhibits 2007, 2010-2011,
`
`2024, and 2028-2030 are what Patent Owner claims they are, and is therefore not
`
`sufficient to authenticate these exhibits. See e.g., Comcast Cable Communications,
`
`LLC v. Rovi Guides, Inc., IPR2017-00941, Paper 70 at pp. 54-56 (noting that to
`
`authenticate printouts from a website, Board panels have required some statement or
`
`affidavit from someone with knowledge of the website, such as a web master or
`
`someone else with personal knowledge). Additionally, Patent Owner has not
`
`
`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-00952
`Patent 9,253,239
`provided any declaration testimony with respect to Exhibits 2014, 2018-2022 and
`
`2025.
`
`Mr. Coulson has not testified that he has personal knowledge of the Internet
`
`Archive to describe how webpages from the years 2014 and 2016, reflected in the
`
`screen shots of Exhibits 2007, 2011 and 2024, (obtained via the Internet Archive),
`
`have been accurately preserved and subsequently made available to internet searches.
`
`Moreover, Mr. Coulson has not testified with sufficient basis to demonstrate
`
`that he has personal knowledge to describe Exhibit 2010 as a true and accurate copy
`
`of the article contained therein.
`
`Moreover, Mr. Coulson has not testified that he has personal knowledge of the
`
`websites reflected in Exhibits 2018-2020, 2025, and 2028-2030 as being accurately
`
`preserved and subsequently made available. See e.g., Comcast Cable
`
`Communications, LLC, IPR2017-00941, Paper 70 at pp. 56 (rejecting the notion that
`
`a printout from a news website “is a newspaper or periodical that is self-
`
`authenticating under FRE 902(6)”).
`
`Petitioner further objects to Exhibit 2010 on the basis of hearsay as it is an
`
`article written by a declarant made not while testifying at the current trial, and which
`
`
