`

`
`PATENT OWNER NEONODE SMARTPHONE LLC’S OBJECTIONS TO
`EVIDENCE UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64

`Patent Owner’s Objection to Evidence
`
`
`Patent Owner Neonode Smartphone LLC (“Neonode”), objects under the
`
`Federal Rules of Evidence and 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) to the admissibility of the
`
`following documents submitted by Petitioners Samsung Electronics Co., Samsung
`
`Electronics America, Inc. and Apple Inc. (“Petitioners”) with their Reply to Patent
`
`Owner’s Response, Paper No. 49.
`
`Petitioners’ Reply was filed on December 15, 2021. Paper No. 49. Thus,
`
`Neonode’s objections are timely under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1). Neonode served
`
`Petitioners with these objections to provide notice that Neonode will move to
`
`exclude these exhibits as improper evidence.
`
`I.
`
`November/December 1995 Pen Computing Pen Lab review of IBM
`
`ThinkPad 730TE (EX1058)
`
`Neonode objects to the admissibility of EX1058 for the following reasons:
`
`1.
`
` It is offered to prove that “IBM debuted the ThinkPad 730TE in
`
`1995, a year after Hansen’s priority date and seven years before the priority date of
`
`the ’993 patent,” and is therefore hearsay. EX1051, ¶86.
`
`2.
`
`It is offered to prove that “the ThinkPad 730TE included a DX4/75
`
`processor (i.e., a Central Processing Unit (CPU)), ‘an Integral Peripherals Viper
`
`260MB unit’ disk drive and 8MB of base RAM (i.e., memory units), a ‘port
`
`replicator that offers a full complement of serial, parallel, SVGA, floppy, power,
`
`and PS/2 style keyboard ports’ (i.e., an input/output port), and ‘accelerated VESA
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`local-bus graphics’ (i.e., a video controller),” and is therefore hearsay. EX1051,
`
`IPR2021-00145
`Patent Owner’s Objection to Evidence
`
`
`¶86.
`
`3.
`
`It is offered to prove that “the ThinkPad 730TE was a windows-based
`
`system, having been capable of running Microsoft’s ‘Windows for Pen
`
`Computing,’” and is therefore hearsay. EX1051, ¶86.
`
`II.
`
`Supplemental Declaration of Dr. Benjamin B. Bederson (EX1051).
`
`Neonode objects to the admissibility of ¶¶14-37, 64-65, 86-87 of EX1051 on
`
`the ground that they raise new arguments beyond the scope of the Petition and
`
`beyond the proper scope of redirect.
`
`Neonode objects to the admissibility of ¶¶99-106 of EX1051 on the ground
`
`that Dr. Bederson purports to testify as a user interface expert, but has
`
`demonstrated no qualifications as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience,
`
`training, or education in commercial success, industry praise, expert skepticism, or
`
`industry respect, so he is not qualified under FRE 702 to offer opinions on whether
`
`there is any nexus between the claims and these elements.
`
`III.
`
` Conclusion
`
`Therefore, Neonode reserves its rights to file motions to exclude the above
`
`evidence and exhibits under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c).
