`
`OBJECTIONS
`
`
`
`Petitioner, Rimfrost AS, submits the following objections to evidence of the
`
`Patent Owner, Aker Biomarine Antarctic AS.
`
`Exhibit 2001: Declaration of Dr. Snorre Tilseth
`
`
`
`FRE 602 (personal knowledge)
`
`Paragraphs 6-15, 17-18 include assertions for which evidence has not been
`
`introduced sufficient to show that the declarant has personal knowledge of the
`
`matters asserted.
`
`
`
`FRE 701 (improper lay testimony); 702 (unqualified expert testimony)
`
`For paragraphs 7-11, 13, 15, 17 and 18, the declarant is not qualified to offer
`
`opinions as to what a person of ordinary skill in the art would have understood, to
`
`opine on patent claim limitations, to construe elements recited in the asserted
`
`patent claims, and/or to perform legal analysis of patent invalidity and/or reduction
`
`to practice. The opinion testimony offered in these paragraphs is not based on
`
`scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge, and is also not based on the
`
`declarant’s personal knowledge. The declarant’s opinion testimony includes
`
`unsubstantiated leaps and advances inaccurate, unqualified generalizations.
