`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-01350
`Patent 8,856,539
`
`
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioners submit the following
`
`objections to Patent Owner Universal Secure Registry LLC’s (“PO”) Exhibits 2011
`
`and 2012. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.62, Petitioners’ objections below apply
`
`the Federal Rules of Evidence (“F.R.E.”).
`
`II. OBJECTIONS
`A. Objections to Ex. 2011 and any Reference to/Reliance Thereon
`Evidence objected to: Ex. 2011.
`
`Grounds for Objection: F.R.E. 401 (Test for Relevant Evidence); F.R.E. 402
`
`(General Admissibility of Relevant Evidence); F.R.E. 403 (Excluding Relevant
`
`Evidence for Prejudice, Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons).
`
`Paragraphs 1-28 and 55-56 of Exhibit 2011 have not been relied upon by PO
`
`in rebutting or addressing any instituted ground of challenge or PO’s motion to
`
`amend. Accordingly, at least those portions of this exhibit are not relevant to the
`
`proceeding. Further, to the extent this exhibit is deemed relevant, admission of at
`
`least those portions of the exhibit would be unduly prejudicial, misleading, and a
`
`waste of time in view of the fact that they have not been relied upon by PO.
`
`In addition, Petitioners object to paragraphs 30-32 and 35 of Exhibit 2011 to
`
`the extent they cite to evidence not previously cited in PO’s Motion to Amend or
`
`the accompanying declaration, Exhibit 2010, including but not limited to the
`
`-1-
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-01350
`Patent 8,856,539
`
`
`
`following citations to Exhibit 2008 and the written description arguments in
`
`reliance thereof: lines 5:16-17, 12:28-28, 15:10-16:27 and Figure 6 with respect to
`
`limitations 39[c], 48[a], 51[d], and 52[pre] (see Ex. 2010 at ¶¶30-32) and lines
`
`17:7-8 with respect to limitation 46[d] (see Ex. 2010 at ¶35). As those portions of
`
`Exhibit 2008 were not cited in PO’s Motion to Amend or Exhibit 2010, the
`
`paragraphs of Exhibit 2011 now relying on them are not relevant to the proceeding.
`
`Further, to the extent those paragraphs are deemed relevant, admission of at least
`
`those portions of the exhibit would be unduly prejudicial, misleading, and a waste
`
`of time in view of the fact that they rely on evidence not cited in PO’s motion to
`
`amend.
`
`B. Objections to Ex. 2012 and any Reference to/Reliance Thereon
`Evidence objected to: Ex. 2012.
`
`Grounds for Objection: F.R.E. 401 (Test for Relevant Evidence); F.R.E. 402
`
`(General Admissibility of Relevant Evidence); F.R.E. 403 (Excluding Relevant
`
`Evidence for Prejudice, Confusion, Waste of Time, or Other Reasons).
`
`Pages 1-16 and 19-27 of Exhibit 2012 have not been relied upon by PO in
`
`rebutting or addressing any instituted ground of challenge or PO’s motion to
`
`amend. Accordingly, at least those portions of this exhibit are not relevant to the
`
`proceeding. They are also not relevant because they are directed to patents or
`
`arguments that are not at issue in this proceeding. Further, to the extent this exhibit
`
`-2-
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-01350
`Patent 8,856,539
`
`
`
`is deemed relevant, admission of at least those portions of the exhibit would be
`
`unduly prejudicial, misleading, and a waste of time in view of the fact that they
`
`have not been relied upon by PO.
`
`Moreover, the portions of Exhibit 2012 relied upon by PO are a non-binding
`
`Magistrate Judge’s recommendation from a different proceeding involving a
`
`different record and are not directed to any of PO’s substitute claims. Accordingly,
`
`those portions are also not relevant to the proceeding, and to the extent they are
`
`deemed relevant, their admission would be unduly prejudicial, misleading, and a
`
`waste of time.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`Exhibits 2011 and 2012 were served on September 11, 2019, in support of
`
`the Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of its Motion to Amend. These objections are
`
`made within five business days of service.
