`U.S. Patent No. 8,166,081
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner, StratosAudio, Inc.
`
`
`
`(“Patent Owner”) hereby objects to the admissibility of exhibits to Petitioner
`
`Hyundai Motor America’s (“Petitioner”) Reply to Patent Owner’s Response
`
`(“Reply”) to Petitioner’s petition for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,166,081. Patent Owner’s objections are based on the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`(“FRE”) and relevant case law, as set forth below.
`
`Exhibit 1028
`
`Patent Owner objects to the admissibility of Exhibit 1028 under FRE 801,
`
`802 (hearsay), and FRE 901 (authentication). In particular, Exhibit 1028 is not
`
`testimony. Petitioner offers statements in this document, namely the alleged date
`
`shown thereon, to prove the truth of the matter asserted (date of publication). See,
`
`e.g., Reply 4-5 (relying on Exhibit 1028 for the proposition that “implementation
`
`details were well known at the time,” indicating that Exhibit 1028 was published
`
`and reflected the relevant POSITA knowledge). Petitioner has not established
`
`Exhibit 1028 as self-authenticating, nor has Petitioner authenticated this document
`
`as required by FRE 901. See, e.g., TRW Automotive U.S. LLC v. Magna Elecs.
`
`Inc., IPR2014-01347, Paper 25 at 10-12 (PTAB Jan. 6, 2016) (granting motion to
`
`exclude exhibit that was not self-authenticating and was not shown to be
`
`authentic); In-Depth Geophysical, Inc. v. Conocophillips Co., IPR2019-00849,

`Paper 14 at 4-13 (PTAB Sept. 6, 2019) (informative) (copyright date of 2012 and a
`
`date of September 2012 on exhibit’s cover were insufficient to show paper had
`
`been disseminated by certain time).
