`
`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE
`
`Patent Owner DirectStream, LLC (“Patent Owner”) files and serves the
`
`following objections to evidence that Petitioner Microsoft Corporation
`
`(“Petitioner”) served on November 26, 2019. 37 C.F.R. § 42.64. 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. Exbibits 1074, 1077, 1079
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibits 1074, 1077, and 1079 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. Fed. R. Evid.
`
`401-403. Moreover, Petitioner fails to provide any attempt to authenticate these
`
`documents in any manner or as a bases of an expert’s opinion testimony, including
`
`under Fed. R. Evid. 901, 702, or 703. Additionally, these exhibits are hearsay to
`
`the extent Petitioner attempts to rely on them to prove the truth of any matter
`
`described therein. Fed. R. Evid. 801 and 802.

`
`IPR2018-01605, -01606, -01607
`U.S Patent 7,620,800
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`Patent Owner further objects to Exhibits 1074, 1077, and 1079 as containing
`
`new evidence and argument that could and should have been raised in Petitioner’s
`
`Petition. See e.g., 37 C.F.R. § 42.22(a); 42.23(b).
`
`2. Exhibit 1076
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1076 as containing new evidence and
`
`argument that could and should have been raised in Petitioner’s Petition. See e.g.,
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.22(a); 42.23(b). Here, Petitioner’s expert, Dr. Stone, purportedly
`
`submits a “reply” declaration, when in fact, the statements in paragraphs 2-27 all
`
`could have been raised in his original declaration submitted in this matter. Patent
`
`Owner further objects to this exhibit to the extent the introduction of new material
`
`and opinions lack foundation, are not relevant, contain hearsay, and will cause
`
`undue prejudice in the inability of Patent Owner to provide rebuttal expert
`
`testimony. See Fed. R. Evid. 401-403, 801, 802.
`
`3. Exhibit 1075
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1075, 65:12-17 as the question was
`
`directing the witness to offer a legal conclusion. See EX1075, 65:15 (“Objection to
`
`form” raised in deposition).
`
`4. Exhibit 1078
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01605, -01606, -01607
`U.S Patent 7,620,800
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Evidence
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1078, 65:19-66:18 as the deposition
`
`question asked at 65:19-20 was vague, ambiguous, and called for a speculative
`
`answer. 1078, 65:21 (“Objection to form” raised in deposition).
`
`5. Petitioner’s Reply to Patent Owner’s Response
`
`Patent Owner also objects to any paragraphs in Petitioner’s Reply to Patent
`
`Owner’s Response to the extent they rely on the aforementioned objected to
`
`exhibits.
