`
`
`
`PETITIONER GOOGLE’S OBJECTIONS TO EXHIBIT 2018
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Petitioner Google LLC respectfully submits these five objections to Exhibit
`
`2018 under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1).
`
`Exhibit
`
`Objections
`
`2018
`
`FRE 802 – The exhibit is an unsworn statement by an unknown
`
`person that makes certain assertions as statements of fact, and is
`
`not subject to any exceptions to the hearsay rule.
`
`
`
`FRE 901 – On the telephone conference of July 26, 2019,
`
`CyWee indicated its intent to rely on Ex. 2018 as “evidence”.
`
`CyWee has offered no evidence that the exhibit is a document
`
`that would qualify as evidence.
`
`
`
`FRE 1006 — On the telephone conference of July 26, 2019,
`
`CyWee indicated its intent to rely on Ex. 2018 as a summary of
`
`evidence under FRE 1006. FRE 1006, however, requires that
`
`the summarized evidence be “voluminous”, such that it cannot
`
`be conveniently examined in court. Here, CyWee is not
`
`summarizing evidence, but its own arguments (for example, by
`
`presenting legal conclusions in dispute like “Admitted RPI
`
`Relationship” and “Party is time-barred”). Furthermore,
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`underlying evidence providing basic facts, like dates of service,
`
`is neither “voluminous” nor inconvenient to examine by the
`
`PTAB.
`
`
`
`37 C.F.R. 42.53(a) — to the extent Ex. 2018 represents the
`
`statement of a person, it is not in the form of an affidavit or
`
`declaration (i.e., it is not signed under oath).
`
`
`
`FRE 701 and 702 — to the extent Ex. 2018 represents the
`
`statement of a person, it by a person that has not been qualified
`
`to provide opinions concerning the legal conclusions found in
`
`Ex. 2018.
