`
`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.

`time, and the danger that it will lead to unfair prejudice if used later in the
`
`proceeding or on appeal.
