`
`Objections
`
`Petitioners object to this exhibit to the extent it relies on or
`incorporates inadmissible exhibits to which the Petitioners
`object herein.
`Fed. R. Evid. 402/602/702/703. Dr. Shahbakhti, the witness
`offering declaration testimony (a) lacks the knowledge, skill,
`experience, training, or education to testify as an expert in a
`manner that is helpful to the Board; (b) provides opinions that
`are not based on sufficient facts or data, or ones that he has been
`made aware of or personally observed; (c) has not applied
`reliable principles and methods; and (d) has not reliably applied
`such principles and methods to the facts of the case. (See, e.g.,
`¶¶ 60, 62 (opining regarding source code); Ex. 2017.)
`37 C.F.R. § 42.65(a): Dr. Shahbakhti fails to identify with
`particularity the underlying facts or data on which his opinions
`are based. (See, e.g., ¶¶ 44-47, 52, 133, 159-166, 169, 60, 65-67,
`70-74, 79-84, 88, 102-103, 111-117, 121-25.)
`Fed. R. Evid. 402. This exhibit includes statements, or relies on
`evidence, not relevant to any ground upon which the trial was
`instituted. (See, e.g., ¶¶ 45, 140.)
`Fed. R. Evid. 901. Dr. Shahbakhti does not properly
`authenticate or identify, and has not established the publication
`date, of certain evidence upon which he relies. (See, e.g., ¶¶ 44,
`
`
`1 Petitioners’ objections apply equally to Patent Owners’ reliance on these exhibits,
`
`including in any documents filed in this proceeding.
