`
`
`Case IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`
` Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Universal Secure Registry LLC (“Patent
`
`Owner”) submits the following objections to evidence that Petitioners Visa Inc. and
`
`Visa U.S.A. Inc. (“Petitioners”) served with their Petitioners’ Reply to Patent Owner
`
`Response (Paper 16) and Petitioners’ Opposition to Patent Owner’s Conditional
`
`Motion to Amend (Paper 17). These objections are timely filed and served within
`
`five business days of service of the evidence.
`
`Evidence
`
`Exhibit 1021
`
`Exhibits 1016 –
`1020, 1022
`
`Objections
`
`Patent Owner objects to this exhibit because it includes
`information that is not discussed sufficiently in Petitioners’
`Opposition to Patent Owner’s Conditional Motion to Amend.
`Admissibility of such declaration would permit the use of
`declarations to circumvent applicable page limits.
`
`FRE 602, 702, 703: Patent Owner objects to this exhibit to
`the extent it is irrelevant, the testimony is based on a lack of
`personal knowledge or speculation, includes insufficient
`facts or data, is not based on a reliable foundation, and
`constitutes conclusory opinions without sufficient support.
`
`FRE 401, 402, and 403: Patent Owner objects to this
`exhibit because it does not rebut the arguments in Patent
`Owner’s Conditional Motion to Amend, it is irrelevant, and
`its probative value is substantially outweighed by a danger of
`unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, wasting time, and
`needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`Patent Owner objects to exhibits 1016-1020 because they
`improperly introduce new evidence for the first time on
`Reply. Admissibility of these exhibits would permit
`Petitioners to violate the requirement that they must include
`all their theories, arguments, and evidence with their
`Petition.
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-01350
`U.S. Patent No. 8,856,539
`
` Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`Patent Owner further objects to Petitioners’ attempt to rely
`on exhibits 1016 and 1017 as prior art and/or to show the
`alleged state of the art or understanding of a POSITA.
`Petitioners have not demonstrated that these exhibits are
`“printed publications” within the meaning of 35 U.S.C.
`§§ 102 and 311(b).
`
`FRE 401, 402, and 403: Patent Owner objects to exhibits
`1016-1020 and 1022 because they are not relied on as
`references, they do not rebut the arguments in Patent
`Owner’s Response or Conditional Motion to Amend, and/or
`Petitioners do not allege that the challenged or substitute
`claims are anticipated or obvious based on these exhibits.
`Exhibits 1016-1020 and 1022 are irrelevant, and their
`probative value is substantially outweighed by a danger of
`unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, wasting time, and
`needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`FRE 901: Patent owner also objects to exhibits 1016-1020 as
`unauthenticated documents that are not self-authenticating
`under FRE 902. Thus, these exhibits lack authentication.
