`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026 B2
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner Broadband iTV, Inc.,
`
`
`
`(“BBiTV”) hereby objects under the Federal Rules of Evidence (“FRE”) to the
`
`admissibility of Exhibits 1053-1068, filed with Petitioner’s Reply (Paper 45) on
`
`August 18, 2021.
`
`BBiTV timely objects under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) within five business
`
`days of service of evidence to which the objection is directed. BBiTV files and
`
`serves Petitioner DISH Network, L.L.C. (“DISH”) with these objections to provide
`
`notice that BBiTV may move to exclude Exhibits 1053-1068, or portions thereof,
`
`under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c).
`
`I.
`
`EXHIBITS 1056, 1057, 1059, 1066, AND 1067
`FRE 401, 402, and 403: BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1056, 1057, 1059, 1066,
`
`and 1067 for including information that is irrelevant or whose probative value to
`
`any ground upon which trial was instituted is substantially outweighed by the
`
`danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay, wasting time, or
`
`needlessly presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`FRE 901 and 902: BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1056, 1057, 1059, 1066, and
`
`1067 as not properly authenticated under FRE 901 because DISH has not presented
`
`evidence sufficient to support a finding that the documents in question are what
`
`DISH claims. There is no evidence that these documents are self-authenticating
`
`under FRE 902.

`
`II. EXHIBITS 1058 AND 1064
`FRE 401, 402, and 403: BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1058 and 1064 for
`
`including information that is irrelevant or whose probative value to any ground
`
`upon which trial was instituted is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair
`
`prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly
`
`presenting cumulative evidence.
`
`FRE 801 and 802: To the extent DISH relies on the contents of these
`
`documents for the truth of the matter asserted, BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1058 and
`
`1064 as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under any
`
`exception.
`
`FRE 901 and 902: BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1058 and 1064 as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901 because DISH has not presented evidence sufficient
`
`to support a finding that the documents in question are what DISH claims. There is
`
`no evidence that these documents are self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`III. EXHIBITS 1060 AND 1061
`BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1060 and 1061, including Exhibits A and B, for
`
`including information that is irrelevant or whose probative value to any ground

`
`prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly
`
`presenting cumulative evidence.

`that does not fall under any exception.
`
`FRE 901 and 902: BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1060 and 1061, including

`question are what DISH claims. There is no evidence that the documents are self-
`
`authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`IV. EXHIBIT 1062
`FRE 401, 402, and 403: BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1062, including Exhibit
`
`A, for including information that is irrelevant or whose probative value to any
`
`ground upon which trial was instituted is substantially outweighed by the danger of
`
`unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly
`
`presenting cumulative evidence. Exhibit 1062 is not cited or relied upon in
`
`Petitioner’s Reply.

`FRE 401, 402, and 403: BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1063 for including
`
`information that is irrelevant or whose probative value to any ground upon which
`
`trial was instituted is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice,

`confusing the issues, undue delay, wasting time, or needlessly presenting
`
`cumulative evidence. Exhibit 1063 is not cited or relied upon in Petitioner’s Reply.
`
`FRE 602: BBiTV objects to paragraph 6 of Exhibit 1063 because the
`

`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`
`
`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026 B2
`FRE 801 and 802: To the extent DISH relies on the contents of this
`
`document for the truth of the matter asserted, BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1063 as
`
`inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under any
`
`exception.
`
`FRE 901 and 902: BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1063 as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901 because DISH has not presented evidence sufficient
`
`to support a finding that the document in question is what DISH claims. There is
`
`no evidence that the document is self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`BBiTV further objects to Exhibit 1063 as an improper affidavit under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.63 and 35 U.S.C. § 1.68 for failing to acknowledge that willful false
`
`statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both.
`
`VI. EXHIBIT 1065
`FRE 401, 402, and 403: BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1065, including
`
`Appendices A-F, for including information that is irrelevant or whose probative
`
`value to any ground upon which trial was instituted is substantially outweighed by
`
`the danger of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, undue delay, wasting time, or
`
`needlessly presenting cumulative evidence. Exhibit 1065 is not cited or relied upon
`
`in Petitioner’s Reply.
`
`FRE 801 and 802: To the extent DISH relies on the contents of this
`
`document for the truth of the matter asserted, BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1065,
`
`
`
`- 5 -
`
`
`
`Case IPR2020-01267
`U.S. Patent No. 10,028,026 B2
`including Appendices A-F, as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and 802 that
`
`does not fall under any exception.
`
`FRE 901 and 902: BBiTV objects to Appendices A-F of Exhibit 1065 as not
`
`properly authenticated under FRE 901 because DISH has not presented evidence
`
`sufficient to support a finding that the appendices in question are what DISH
`
`claims. There is no evidence that the appendices are self-authenticating under FRE
`
`902.
`
`FRE 702 and 703: BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1065 because there has not
`
`been an adequate showing that Dr. Hsieh-Yee’s testimony is based on sufficient
`
`facts or data, is the product of reliable principles or methods, or that the testimony
`
`will help the Board understand the evidence or determine a fact in issue. BBiTV
`
`further objects to this document to the extent it relies on Exhibits 1063, 1064, and
`
`1066, and Appendices A-F, because they are inadmissible under FRE 401, 402,
`
`403, 801, 802, 901, and/or 902, as discussed above, and/or are inadmissible as not
`
`qualified to be the basis for an expert opinion under FRE 703. Therefore, these
`
`portions of Exhibit 1065 are inadmissible under FRE 702 and 703.
`
`VII. EXHIBITS 1054, 1055, AND 1068
`BBiTV objects to Exhibits 1054, 1055, and 1068 in accordance with 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.14 as being improperly filed under seal without a motion to seal
`
`concurrently filed with these exhibits.

`
`VIII. EXHIBIT 1053
`BBiTV objects to Exhibit 1053 to the extent it relies on Exhibits 1054-1068
`
`for the same reasons as provided above.
`
`BBiTV further objects to Exhibit 1053 in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.14
`
`as being improperly filed under seal without a motion to seal concurrently filed
`
`with this exhibit.
