`Accessories
`– Most floor mats were universal mats. Ex. 2043,¶ 160
`– Advertisements of floor trays having “perfect” or “exact” fit was puffery.
`Ex. 2043, ¶ 161
`– Typically, trays were angled so that just the top edge would press against
`the walls. Ex. 2043 ¶ 161
`– Custom floor trays prior to MacNeil did not closely conform and achieved
`little success. Ex. 2043, ¶ 82.
`– No floor tray prior to 2004 met the conformance limitations of the claims. Ex.

`Yita’s Original Theory on Expectation of Success
`
`i
`
`The Petition alleged that a POSITA
`could have used a stationary coordinate
`measure machine (CMM) to gather
`three-dimensional data from a vehicle
`footwell and simply downloaded the
`“coordinates” to a 3D milling machine
`to create a mold:

`

`Yita’s New Theory on Expectation of Success Should Be Stricken
`
`i
`
`• Petitioner presents a new theory in reply that alleges a POSITA would
`follow the process laid out in the ’186 and ’834 Patents to:
`– Use a portable CMM (FaroArm) to measure a vehicle footwell;
`– Use computer aided design software to create a 3D representation of the
`desired product;
`– Create a mold to manufacture the actual product.
`• To support the new theory, Petitioner filed the new 58-page declaration
`of Mr. Perreault.
`• Tellingly, Mr. Perreault did not even consider the Hemmelgarn reference
`Petitioner originally relied-upon to support its theory.
`
