`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) and the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`(“FRE”), Patent Owner Express Mobile, Inc., objects to the following documents
`
`submitted by Petitioner Facebook, Inc.
`
`Nothing in this paper should be construed as an admission that any rights of
`
`Patent Owner would have been waived or forfeited had the paper or any objection
`
`herein not been filed, or that 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b) applies to any of the objections
`
`herein if § 42.64(b) would not otherwise apply. The objections herein are premised
`
`upon § 42.64 potentially being determined to apply to the document in question and
`
`are submitted solely to preserve the rights of Patent Owner should § 42.64(b) be
`
`determined to apply.
`
`1.
`
`Exhibit 1021
`
`Under FRE and 37 C.F.R. § 42.65, this document is inadmissible to the extent
`
`that it is conclusory and does not disclose the bases for the opinions offered therein.
`
`Under FRE 401/402/403/702, this document includes testimony not relevant to the
`
`instituted review, because, among other things, it has not been shown that the
`
`purportedly expert declarant is qualified to testify competently regarding the matters
`
`the opinions are said to address, or that the declarant’s testimony is based on
`
`sufficient facts or data or arrived at by reliable principles, procedures, or methods
`
`reliably applied to the facts of this case, or that the declarant’s opinion will assist the
`
`trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine any fact in issue and does not
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`have a greater potential to mislead than to enlighten. Under FRE 602/701/801/802
`
`and 37 C.F.R. § 42.61, this document includes testimony that is not shown to be
`
`based on first-hand knowledge including of how relied-upon data was generated, is
`
`based on speculation, and constitutes and contains inadmissible hearsay. Under FRE
`
`401/705 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.65, this document includes testimony on patent law and
`
`practice. Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.6(a)(3), this document is inadmissible to the extent
`
`that to it relies upon material not presented in the Reply.
`
`2.
`
`Exhibit 1022
`
`Under the Trial Practice Guide, this exhibit is untimely because it is relied
`
`upon to establish the Petition’s case-in-chief and could have been submitted with the
`
`Petition. Under FRE 801/802, this document constitutes and contains inadmissible
`
`hearsay. Under FRE 106/1001, 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(3) & (5), and 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.51(b)(1), this document is incomplete and is not a copy which accurately
`
`reproduces the original. Under FRE 901, this document is inadmissible because it
`
`has not been shown to be authenticated or identified. The document is relied upon
`
`as evidence of prior art or of common knowledge or understanding of persons in the
`
`art at the priority date at issue, but is inadmissible because it has not been shown to
`
`qualify as prior art under, inter alia, 35 U.S.C. § 311(b), and there is a lack of
`
`supporting documentation to demonstrate common knowledge or understanding as
`
`of the priority date.
