`
`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`
`
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2018-01316
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0053IP2
`
`
`
`Apple Inc. (“Petitioner” or “Apple”) submits the following objections to
`
`evidence filed by Qualcomm Incorporated (“Patent Owner” or “Qualcomm”) in
`
`conjunction with the Patent Owner’s Response filed on April 17, 2019 (Paper 12).
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), these objections are made within five business
`
`days from service of the Patent Owner’s Response. See Paper 12 at 58 (confirming
`
`service “on April 17, 2019 by email”).
`
`Pursuant to FRE 401, 402, and 403, Petitioner objects to the admissibility
`
`of Exhibits 2004 and 2005 as irrelevant and prejudicial. Exhibits 2004 and 2005
`
`are briefs filed by counsel at Fish & Richardson P.C. on behalf of another client in
`
`an entirely different and unrelated case. Whether or not counsel at Fish &
`
`Richardson P.C. made certain arguments in advocating on behalf of another client
`
`under different sets of facts is entirely irrelevant to this proceeding, because the
`
`fact that such arguments exist is of no consequence in determining the present
`
`action. Further, Patent Owner’s reliance on these briefs is highly prejudicial to
`
`Apple, as Apple was not a party to the case in which Exhibits 2004 and 2005 were
`
`filed, and therefore did not advance the arguments as set forth in Exhibits 2004 and
`
`2005.
`
`Pursuant to FRE 801 and 802, Petitioner objects to the admissibility of
`
`Exhibits 2004 and 2005 as hearsay. Patent Owner relied upon the arguments set
`
`1
`
`

`

`Proceeding No.: IPR2018-01316
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0053IP2
`forth in Exhibits 2004 and 2005 for the truth of its contention that Applicants’
`
`Admitted Prior Art (AAPA) is not eligible for inter partes review. See Paper 12 at
`
`19. As noted above, Exhibits 2004 and 2005 are briefs filed by counsel at Fish &
`
`Richardson P.C. on behalf of another client in an entirely different and unrelated
`
`case. Therefore, Exhibits 2004 and 2005 constituted hearsay for the purpose
`
`Patent Owner relies upon them.
`
`Pursuant to FRE 702, Petitioner objects to the admissibility of those
`
`portions of Exhibit 2002 that rely upon an unduly narrow interpretation of
`
`obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103. See Ex. 2002 at ¶¶ 66-120. Exhibit 2002 is
`
`the declaration of Dr. Massoud Pedram. In paragraphs 66-120, Dr. Pedram
`
`purports to assert various reasons why it would not have been obvious to combine
`
`the references as set forth in the Petition. In so doing, Dr. Pedram applies an
`
`unduly narrow interpretation of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103, failing to
`
`account for, for example, the rationales set forth in KSR Int'l Co. v. Teleflex Inc.,
`
`550 U.S. 398 (2007). Accordingly, these paragraphs are inadmissible under FRE
`
`702, because the legal conclusions that Dr. Pedram purports to reach are not based
`
`on reliable principles and methods.
