`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE

`
`

`

`IPR Nos. 2018-01605, -01606, -01607
`(U.S. Pat. No. 7,620,800)
`
`Petitioner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation (“Petitioner”) files and serves the
`
`
`
`following objections to evidence that Patent Owner DirectStream, LLC (“Patent
`
`Owner”) served on July 26, 2019. 37 C.F.R. § 42.120. These objections are timely
`
`because they are served within five business days of service of the evidence to
`
`which the objections are directed. See id. (“Once a trial has been instituted, any
`
`objection must be filed within five business days of service of evidence to which
`
`the objection is directed.”).
`
`1. Exhibits 2066-2074, 2076, 2078-2100, 2102-2104, 2106-2107, 2110-
`
`2111, 2113-2134, 2140-2152, 2156, 2163-2165, and 2170
`
`
`
`Petitioner objects to Exhibits 2066-2074, 2076, 2078-2100, 2102-2104, 2106-
`
`2107, 2110-2111, 2113-2134, 2140-2152, 2156, 2163-2165, and 2170 as not being
`
`relevant to any issue on which trial has been instituted, lacking authentication, lacking
`
`foundation, for containing hearsay, and/or causing undue prejudice. For example, the
`
`Patent Owner’s Response does not contain any citations to Exhibits 2066-2068, 2076,
`
`2078-2100, 2106-2107, 2111, 2128, 2140, 2156, 2163-2165, and 2170. Furthermore,
`
`the Patent Owner’s Response does fully cite or discuss at least portions Exhibits 2069,
`
`2102-2104, 2110, 2113-2127, 2129-2134, and 2141-2152, and thus, Petitioners have had
`
`no fair opportunity to respond to Patent Owner’s unstated contentions (if any) regarding
`
`the same. See Fed. R. Evid. 401-03. Patent Owner also fails to offer any evidence that
`
`any of these exhibits are what Patent Owner claims them to be. See Fed. R. Evid. 901.

`(U.S. Pat. No. 7,620,800)
`
`Petitioner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`
`As another example, these exhibits are hearsay to the extent that Patent Owner attempts
`
`to rely on them to prove the truth of any matter described therein. See Fed. R. Evid. 801,
`
`802. Petitioner also objects to Exhibit 2065 as an incomplete excerpt of a larger
`
`document. See Fed. R. Evid. 106.
`
`2. Exhibit 2065, 2075, and 2091
`
`Petitioner objects to Exhibits 2065, 2075, and 2091 as not being relevant to
`
`any issue on which trial has been instituted, for containing hearsay, and/or causing
`
`undue prejudice. See Fed. R. Evid. 401-03, 801, 802.
`
`3. Exhibit 2101
`
`
`
`Petitioner also objects to Exhibit 2101 as not being relevant to any issue on which
`
`trial has been instituted, lacking foundation, for containing hearsay, and/or causing
`
`undue prejudice. Exhibit 2101 is declaration from John Huppenthal that provides an
`
`irrelevant narrative discussion of his participation in reconfigurable computing. See
`
`Fed. R. Evid. 401-03. In addition, at least ¶¶ 27, 80-86 contain statements that are either
`
`based on hearsay or lack of personal knowledge. See Fed. R. Evid. 401-03, 801, 802.
`
`Petitioner also objects to any paragraphs in Exhibit 2101 to the extent they rely on the
`
`aforementioned objected to exhibits.
`
`4. Exhibit 2170
`
`
`
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2170 as being cumulative of other exhibits in
`
`evidence. Specifically, Exhibit 2170 is a copy of Exhibit 1007, filed by Petitioner. This

`(U.S. Pat. No. 7,620,800)
`
`Petitioner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`
`is made clear by the presence of an exhibit stamp that reads “Petitioner Microsoft
`
`Corporation – Ex. 1007” on the second page of Exhibit 2170. See Fed. R. Evid. 401-03.
`
`5. Exhibits 2112, 2166
`
`
`
`Petitioner also objects to any paragraphs in Exhibits 2112 and 2166 to the extent
`
`they rely on the aforementioned objected to exhibits.
`
`6. Patent Owner’s Response
`
`
`
`Petitioner also objects to any paragraphs in Patent Owner’s Response to the
`
`extent they rely on the aforementioned objected to exhibits.

`Respectfully Submitted,
