`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) and the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`(“FRE”), Patent Owner MPH Technologies Oy (“Patent Owner”) hereby objects to
`
`the evidence presented in the following document submitted by Petitioner Apple
`
`Inc. (“Petitioner”).
`
`Nothing in this paper should be construed as an admission that any rights of
`
`Patent Owner would have been waived or forfeited had the paper or any objection
`
`herein not been filed, or that 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b) applies to any of the objections
`
`herein if § 42.64(b) would not otherwise apply. The objections herein are
`
`premised upon § 42.64 potentially being determined to apply to the document in
`
`question and are submitted solely to preserve the rights of Patent Owner should
`
`§ 42.64(b) be determined to apply.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.64, Patent Owner hereby objects to the
`
`following evidence referenced in Petitioner’s Reply, Paper 17, filed on June 1,
`
`2020:
`
`1. Exhibit 1025 Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Patent Holder
`
`objects to this document as not being identified as part of the prior art relied upon
`
`in the grounds submitted in the Petition. Patent Holder objects to this exhibit as
`
`being irrelevant pursuant to FRC 401. Patent Holder objects to this exhibit as being
`
`inadmissible under FRE 403 because, inter alia, its probative value is outweighed
`
`by the danger of unfair prejudice and confusion of the issues.
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`2. Exhibit 1022 (Goldschlag Reply Declaration): Patent Holder objects to the
`
`testimony in this exhibit to the extent it relies upon or cites Ex. 1025.
