`
`PATENT OWNER NOMADIX’S OBJECTIONS TO
`EVIDENCE SUBMITTED WITH THE PETITION
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00211
`Patent 7,953,857
`Patent Owner Nomadix objects to the following evidence that Petitioner Guest
`
`Tek Interactive Entertainment submitted with its petition (Paper 1).
`
`A.
`
`First Set of Objections
`This first set of objections applies to the following exhibits:
`
`Exhibit 1007 (“IEEE, INDEX Project Report #98-010P (May 1998)”), Exhibit
`
`1009 (“IEEE, INDEX Project Report #99-010W (April 16, 1999)”), Exhibit 1010
`
`(“U.S. Patent No. 6,496,504”), Exhibit 1011 (“Blake et al., Request for Comments
`
`2475: An Architecture for Differentiated Services, IETF (Dec. 1998)”), Exhibit 1013
`
`(“Printout from IEEE website regarding INDEX Project Report #98-010P”), Exhibit
`
`1014 (“IETF, Request for Comment 2597: Assured Forwarding PHB Group (June
`
`1999)”), Exhibit 1015 (“Andrew M Odlyzko, The economics of the Internet: Utility,
`
`utilization, pricing, and Quality of Service, AT&T Labs, July 7, 1998”), Exhibit
`
`1016 (“The ATM Forum, Traffic Management Specification Version 4.0, af-tm-
`
`0056.000 (April 1996)”), Exhibit 1017 (“Jeffrey MacKie-Mason, Pricing the
`
`Internet, February 10, 1994”), Exhibit 1018 (“Mitrabarun Sarkar, An Assessment of
`
`Pricing Mechanisms for the Internet—A Regulatory Imperative, Journal of
`
`Electronic Publishing, Volume 1, Issue 1&2, January-February 1995”), Exhibit 1019
`
`(“Andrew M Odlyzko, The economics of the Internet: Utility, utilization, pricing,
`
`and Quality of Service, AT&T Labs, July 7, 1998”), Exhibit 1020 (“Pages from
`
`Electronics Dictionary, McGraw-Hill, 6th ed. (1997)”), Exhibit 1021 (“Eugen
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00211
`Patent 7,953,857
`Wallmeier and Tom Worster, “The Spacing Policer, an algorithm for efficient peak
`
`bit rate control in ATM networks,” Proc. International Switching Symposium 14,
`
`October 1992”).
`
`For each of these exhibits, Nomadix objects to the exhibit’s admissibility on
`
`the following grounds:
`
`• FRE 402: lack of foundation: The exhibit is not relevant to the instituted
`
`grounds. It is irrelevant in light of the scope of the grounds (except for
`
`Exhibit 1007; this exception applies only to this sentence). It is also
`
`irrelevant because Petitioner failed to carry its burden to demonstrate
`
`that the exhibit qualifies as prior art.
`
`• FRE 403: Any probative value of the exhibit is substantially
`
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues,
`
`undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative
`
`evidence, at least because the document has not been established as
`
`prior art.
`
`• FRE 802: To the extent the exhibit is offered for the truth of the matters
`
`asserted therein, it is inadmissible hearsay.
`
`• FRE 901: Petitioner has failed to sufficiently authenticate the exhibit.

`Second Set of Objections
`B.
`The declaration testimony of Dr. Dordal (Exhibit 1002, (CORRECTED)) and
`
`Mr. Grenier (Exhibit 1012) include assertions not based on personal knowledge
`
`(FRE 602); opinions failing to satisfy the requirements for admissible lay opinions
`
`at least because they are not rationally based on the witness’s perception, not helpful
`
`to clearly understanding the witness’s testimony or to determining a fact in issue, or
`
`are based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge within the scope
`
`of FRE 702 (FRE 701); opinions failing to satisfy the requirements for admissible
`
`expert opinions at least because they are not based on sufficient facts or data, are not
`
`the product of reliable principles or methods reliably applied to any pertinent facts,
`
`or are unhelpful to understanding the evidence or determining a fact in issue (FRE
`
`702); statements that are not relevant to the instituted grounds (FRE 402)—in some
`
`cases irrelevant not only in light of the scope of the instituted grounds, but also
`
`because the statements pertain to references not established as prior art or not
`
`available as prior art in an inter partes review; testimony whose probative value, if
`
`any, is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the
`
`issues, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting cumulative evidence, at
`
`least because the testimony concerns references unavailable or not established as
`
`prior art or the testimony is conclusory and unsupported (FRE 403); and hearsay
`
`(FRE 802). Nomadix objects in particular to the testimony of Mr. Grenier (Exhibit
`
`- 3 -
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00211
`Patent 7,953,857
`1012) as follows: ¶¶ 6-7, 9-11: FRE 402, 403, 602, 701, 702; Exhibit A and all
`
`statements by Mr. Grenier about Exhibit A: 402, 403, 802. Nomadix objects in
`
`particular to the testimony of Dr. Dordal (Exhibit 1002) as follows: ¶¶ 16-17, 22-
`
`23, 25-26, 28-36, 37-43, 44-49, 50-54, 55-58, 60-64, 65-70, 71-83, 84-94, 95-103:
`
`FRE 402, 403, 602, 701, 702.
