`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2022-00040
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0041IP2
`
`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 December 6, 2022.
`
`Evidence
`
`Exhibit 2001
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Objections
`
`Petitioner objects to the admissibility of Exhibit 2001 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.
`
`For example, ¶¶ 45-58 and 60 of Dr. Madisetti’s declaration
`consist of a series of conclusory statements and arguments
`that are presented without citation to evidence. Dr.
`Madisetti’s failure to disclose the underlying facts or data
`upon which his opinions are based (to the extent any such
`facts or data exist) renders his opinions unreliable.
`
`Petitioner also objects to Exhibit 2001 as containing
`opinions that are irrelevant, confusing, and presenting the
`danger of unfair prejudice under FRE 401, 402, and 403.
`
`
`For example, at ¶ 36 of his declaration, Dr. Madisetti
`presents a “created” figure that he characterizes as being “a
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2022-00040
`Attorney Docket: 50095-0041IP2
`
`version of Figure 4” of the ’576 patent “that is useful in
`interpreting the claims and the prior art of record by a
`person of ordinary skill in the art (‘POSITA’).” At ¶¶ 37-
`40, Dr. Madisetti proceeds to suggest, without citation to
`the ’576 patent itself, that the ’576 patent’s independent
`claim 1 requires various features that are illustrated in Dr.
`Madisetti’s “created…version of Figure 4,” but that are
`nowhere shown in Figure 4 itself. Dr. Madisetti’s created
`figure is irrelevant, and Dr. Madisetti’s reliance on his own
`created figure for claim interpretation presents a danger of
`confusion and unfair prejudice.
`
`
`
`
`
`For at least these reasons, Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2001, and reserves
`
`the right to move to exclude that Exhibit.
