`
`
`Case No. IPR2020-01714
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0024IP1
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner hereby submits the following
`
`
`
`objections to evidence filed with Patent Owner’s Response of July 23, 2021.
`
`Evidence
`Exhibit 2004
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2006
`
`Exhibit 2007
`
`Exhibit 2008
`
`Objections
`Petitioner objects to the admissibility of Exhibit 2004 under
`FRE 702 and 703, because it contains opinions that are
`conclusory, do not disclose supporting facts or data, are
`based on unreliable facts, data, or methods, and/or include
`testimony outside the scope of Dr. Madisetti’s specialized
`knowledge (to the extent he has any such knowledge) that
`will not assist the trier of fact. Petitioner also objects to
`Exhibit 2004 as containing opinions that are irrelevant,
`confusing, and presenting the danger of unfair prejudice
`under FRE 401, 402, and 403.
`Petitioner incorporates the real-time objections made by
`Petitioner’s counsel reflected in Exhibit 2006, to the extent
`that such objections relate to portions of Exhibit 2006 that
`are cited in Patent Owner’s Response.
`Petitioner incorporates the real-time objections made by
`Petitioner’s counsel reflected in Exhibit 2007, to the extent
`that such objections relate to portions of Exhibit 2007 that
`are cited in Patent Owner’s Response.
`Petitioner incorporates the real-time objections made by
`Petitioner’s counsel reflected in Exhibit 2008, to the extent
`that such objections relate to portions of Exhibit 2008 that
`are cited in Patent Owner’s Response.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2009
`
`Exhibit 2010
`
`
`Exhibit 2013
`
`Exhibit 2014
`
`Exhibit 2015
`
`Case No. IPR2020-01714
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0024IP1
`
`Petitioner incorporates the real-time objections made by
`Petitioner’s counsel reflected in Exhibit 2009, to the extent
`that such objections relate to portions of Exhibit 2009 that
`are cited in Patent Owner’s Response.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2010 under FRE 901, as Patent
`Owner has not submitted evidence that the document is
`authentic, nor that the document is self-authenticating. Of
`note, there is insufficient support in the Exhibit 2010 to
`show that the document was publically available before the
`priority date of the patent. See, e.g., Microsoft Corp. v.
`Corel Software, LLC, IPR2016-01300 (P.T.A.B. Jan. 4,
`2017); ServiceNow, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., IPR2015-
`00716, Paper No. 13 at 2-3, 10-18 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 26,
`2015). Petitioner further objects to Exhibit 2010 under
`FRE 801 and 802 as inadmissible hearsay.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2013 under FRE 802, 901, as
`the exhibit includes out-of-court statements that
`are offered for the truth of the matter asserted
`and are asserted by a declarant who lacks
`personal knowledge.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2014 under FRE 802, 901, as
`the exhibit includes out-of-court statements that
`are offered for the truth of the matter asserted.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2015 under FRE 401, 403 as
`providing an irrelevant and misleading characterization of
`the knowledge in the art as of the priority date of the patent,
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2020-01714
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0024IP1
`
`as the report was published 5 years after the priority date of
`the patent, and therefore confuses the issues in the case.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2016 under FRE 401 as
`irrelevant and under FRE 403. Specifically, any probative
`value it may have is substantially outweighed by a danger
`of unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, and/or being
`misleading. The article, written in 2020 (over a decade
`after the alleged priority date of the patent), does not
`provide any information relevant to the priority date of the
`patent. Additionally, Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2016
`under FRE 901, as Patent Owner has not submitted
`evidence that the document is authentic, nor that the
`document is self-authenticating. Of note, there is
`insufficient support in the Exhibit 2016 to show that the
`document was publically available before the priority date
`of the patent. See, e.g., Microsoft Corp. v. Corel Software,
`LLC, IPR2016-01300 (P.T.A.B. Jan. 4, 2017); ServiceNow,
`Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., IPR2015-00716, Paper No. 13
`at 2-3, 10-18 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 26, 2015). Petitioner further
`objects to Exhibit 2016 under FRE 801 and 802 as
`inadmissible hearsay.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2017 under FRE 901, as Patent
`Owner has not submitted evidence that the document is
`authentic, nor that the document is self-authenticating. Of
`note, there is insufficient support in the Exhibit 2017 to
`show that the document was publically available before the
`

`
`Exhibit 2016
`
`Exhibit 2017
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2020-01714
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0024IP1
`
`priority date of the patent. See, e.g., Microsoft Corp. v.
`Corel Software, LLC, IPR2016-01300 (P.T.A.B. Jan. 4,
`2017); ServiceNow, Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., IPR2015-
`00716, Paper No. 13 at 2-3, 10-18 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 26,
`2015). Petitioner further objects to Exhibit 2017 under
`FRE 801 and 802 as inadmissible hearsay.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2018 under FRE 401, 403 as
`providing an irrelevant and misleading characterization of
`the knowledge in the art as of the priority date of the patent,
`as the article was purportedly published 8 years after the
`priority date of the patent, and therefore confuses the issues
`in the case. Petitioner additionally objects to Exhibit 2018
`under FRE 901, as Patent Owner has not submitted
`evidence that the document is authentic, nor that the
`document is self-authenticating. Of note, there is
`insufficient support in the Exhibit 2018 to show that the
`document was publically available before the priority date
`of the patent. See, e.g., Microsoft Corp. v. Corel Software,
`LLC, IPR2016-01300 (P.T.A.B. Jan. 4, 2017); ServiceNow,
`Inc. v. Hewlett-Packard Co., IPR2015-00716, Paper No. 13
`at 2-3, 10-18 (P.T.A.B. Aug. 26, 2015). Petitioner further
`objects to Exhibit 2018 under FRE 801 and 802 as
`inadmissible hearsay.
`Petitioner objects to the admissibility of Exhibit 2019 under
`FRE 401, 402, and 403 at least insofar as the Patent Owner
`Response does not establish the relevance of the statements
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`
`Exhibit 2018
`
`Exhibit 2019
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2020-01714
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0024IP1
`
`cited, and at least insofar as the cited statements are
`potentially misleading when taken out of context.
`Petitioner objects to the admissibility of Exhibit 2020 under
`FRE 401, 402, and 403 at least insofar as the Patent Owner
`Response does not establish the relevance of the statements
`cited, and at least insofar as the cited statements are
`potentially misleading when taken out of context.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2023 under FRE 802, 901, as
`the exhibit includes out-of-court statements that
`are offered for the truth of the matter asserted
`and are asserted by a declarant who lacks
`personal knowledge.
`Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2024 under FRE 802, 901, as
`the exhibit includes out-of-court statements that
`are offered for the truth of the matter asserted.
`
`Exhibit 2020
`
`Exhibit 2023
`
`Exhibit 2024
`
`
`
`
`
`For at least these reasons, Petitioner objects to Exhibits 2004, 2010, 2013–
`
`2020, 2023, and 2024. Petitioner reserves the right to move to exclude Exhibits
`
`2004, 2010, 2013–2020, 2023, and 2024.
