`INCLUDED IN PATENT OWNER’S SUR-REPLY

`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioners object to new purported
`
`evidence included in Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply (Paper 41) filed on May 1, 2023.
`
`These objections are timely filed and served within five business days of service of
`
`the evidence to which the objections are directed.
`
`Specifically, Patent Owner included the following table in its Sur-Reply:
`
`
`
`Sur-Reply at 29. As shown above, Patent Owner’s purported support for the table is
`
`its footnote 13. Footnote 13 cites to “IPR2022-00687, Paper 18 at 75 (PTAB Jan.
`
`20, 2023).” Id. at 29 n.13.
`
`Petitioners object to the alleged evidence in the above table and to the alleged
`
`supporting evidence from a different proceeding (IPR2022-00867) because it is
`
`improper for Patent Owner to include new evidence in its Sur-Reply. 37 CFR § 42.23
`
`(“A sur-reply may only respond to arguments raised in the corresponding reply and
`
`may not be accompanied by new evidence other than deposition transcripts of the
`
`1
`
`
`
`cross-examination of any reply witness.”); Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`Consolidated Trial Practice Guide (November 2019) at 73 (same).
`
`Patent Owner’s new evidence also lacks any foundation, lacks any
`
`authentication in accordance with Fed. R. Evid. 901(a), and would constitute
`
`hearsay. Patent Owner’s new evidence further is irrelevant and inadmissible under
`
`Fed. R. Evid. 401/403 because it lacks nexus with the patent claims, for the reasons
`
`explained in Petitioners’ Reply with respect to Patent Owner’s other arguments
`
`related to “residential” IP addresses. Reply at 24-26.
