`The PTAB Regularly Excludes This Type of Hearsay –
`Out-of-Court Testimony from Uninvolved Experts
`
`“Exhibit 1029 is the testimony of co-inventor Dr. George E. Seidel, Jr. in a related district court proceeding, and Exhibit 1032
`is Dr. Siedel’s curriculum vitae. Petitioner cites Dr. Seidel’s testimony in five places in its Petition[, including]: . . . (4) To
`support Petitioner’s contention that a POSA would have recognized that buffered solutions including a citric acid were as good,
`or better, than buffered solutions containing phosphates in maintaining the viability of fresh and frozen-thawed sperm; and (5)
`[t]o support Petitioner’s position on the ultimate issue that it would have been obvious to adapt a flow cytometry technique
`disclosed in the prior art to ‘sort bovine sperm to select a buffer to use in the extender and sheath fluids that includes a citric
`acid.’
`
`. . . Petitioner contends that Dr. Siedel’s testimony supporting these five contentions is not hearsay because it is not being
`offered for the truth of the matter asserted. According to Petitioner, it cites Dr. Seidel’s testimony ‘to show that a skilled person
`(one of the inventors, no less) holds an opinion on these issues, not to prove that they are necessarily true.’ We are not
`persuaded. Although the fact that Dr. Seidel is ‘a skilled person’ and ‘one of the inventors’ may lend credibility to his
`assertions, it does not, by itself, convey relevance to his testimony independent of the truth of the matters asserted. Petitioner
`does not identify, and we do not find, any relevance to the above assertions other than to prove what the inventor said
`was true—i.e., that citrate and citric acid are interchangeable (contention 1), that the benefits of citrate with respect to
`bull semen were known (contentions 2-4), and that the alleged innovation of the claimed method would have been
`obvious (contention 5). Accordingly, we agree with Patent Owner that the above statements are hearsay.

`The PTAB Regularly Excludes This Type of Hearsay –
`Out-of-Court Testimony from Uninvolved Experts
`
`“Petitioner moves to exclude Exhibit 2025, which, as stated in footnote 11 above, consists of excerpts from the August 9, 2021
`Opening Expert Report of Maureen T.F. Reitman, Sc.D., P.E. on Invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 6,308,482 from Kirsch Research &
`Development, LLC v. DuPont de Nemours, Inc., No. 5:20-cv-00057 (E.D. Tex.). First, according to Petitioner, ‘Exhibit 2025 consists
`of statements made outside of the course of this proceeding that Patent Owner relies upon for their truth, and it is therefore hearsay.’
`More particularly, Petitioner alleges, Patent Owner offers for its truth Dr. Reitman’s statement that ‘[i]n extrusion coating, a molten
`polymer web may be applied to a moving substrate, while extrusion lamination may also involve a molten polymer to adhere two
`substrates to each other’ in support of its argument that a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand that extrusion coating
`and extrusion lamination are different processes; Dr. Reitman is not a witness in this proceeding; and Dr. Reitman’s statement is
`therefore hearsay under Rule 801[.] . . .
`
`First, Patent Owner argues, Exhibit 2025 is not hearsay because ‘Patent Owner is not offering it for the truth of the matter asserted’
`but rather ‘to demonstrate the beliefs of an expert in the relevant field.’ More specifically, Patent Owner asserts: . . . ‘Exhibit 2025
`indicates the state of mind of another expert in the relevant art with respect to that expert’s understanding of what a person of
`ordinary skill in the art would understand about the ‘482 patent and prior art.’
`
`Having considered the parties arguments, we grant Petitioner’s Motion to Exclude. . . . We agree with Petitioner that Patent
`Owner is offering Dr. Reitman’s testimony for its truth. As Petitioner points out, Dr. Reitman’s testimony is being present in
`the POR in alleged support of Patent Owner’s argument (‘Maureen Reitman recognized that ‘extrusion coating’ and
`‘extrusion lamination’ were two different processes.’”

`

`Claims Do Not Require Identifying Each Media Data Element
`receiving requests at the server system via one or more data connections over the Internet, for one or more of the media data
`elements stored in the data structure, each received request specifying one or more serial identifiers of the requested one or
`more media data elements, each received request originating from a requesting user system of the one or more user systems;
`
`all of the media data elements that are sent by the server system to the one or more user systems are sent in response to the
`requests;
`• Patent Owner wants to rewrite the claims to require that requests specify “each and
`every serial identifier” rather than just “one or more serial identifiers”
`
`receiving requests at the server system via one or more data
`connections over the Internet, for one or more of the media data
`elements stored in the data structure, each received request specifying
`one or more each and every serial identifiers of the requested one or
`more media data elements, each received request originating from a
`requesting user system of the one or more user systems;
`
`– 824 POR (1412 Paper No. 11) at 12 (“The plain and
`literal meaning of limitation e is that, even if the “received
`request” is for more than one element, each such
`requested element is identified in the request by the
`respective serial identifier of that media data element.”)
`and 22 (“By reason of the claim language read as a whole,
`each and every element sent must be responsive to a
`request for that element by its serial ID.”)

`Claim Construction – Issue 3 –
`“Data Rate of the Data Connection” Limitation
`
`the data connection between the server system and each requesting user system has a data rate more rapid
`than the playback rate of the one or more media data elements sent via that connection;
`
`responsive to the requests, sending, by the server system, the one or more media
`data elements having the one or more specified serial identifiers, to the
`requesting user systems corresponding to the requests; wherein
`the data connection between the server system and each requesting user
`system has a data rate more rapid than the playback rate of the one or
`more media data elements sent via that connection;

`

`The “Data Rate of the Data Connection” Refers to Capability
`the data connection between the server system and each requesting user system has a data rate more rapid
`than the playback rate of the one or more media data elements sent via that connection;
`
`• Patent Owner agrees this limitation relates to the capability of the data connection
`(i.e., maximum possible data rate), not its transitory data rate
`
`Patent Owner interprets limitation f(i) to mean that the
`referenced data connection must meet the “more rapid than
`the playback rate” condition over the elements “sent via that
`connection” in response to any request (either for one or for
`more elements), and that this means that the data connection
`must be capable of a data rate that can transfer the elements
`sent over the connection in less time than required to play
`back those elements at a normal rendition.

`Patent Owner’s Unclear and Self-Contradictory
`Argument Should be Rejected
`
`• Sometimes Patent Owner suggests
`interruptions are not permitted
`
`• Sometimes Patent Owner acknowledges
`interruptions are impossible to avoid
`
`Carmel simply does not teach a data
`connection having the capability to send data
`more rapidly than the playback rate over the
`entirety of such a stream, …

`636 POR (1413 Paper No. 10) at 42.
`
`The data connection as claimed is over the internet.
`Thus, the connection will predictably exhibit a
`degree of irregularity, because that is the nature of
`internet connections. See EX1001-2:34-40; EX2002
`¶¶ 26-27.
`
`Patent Owner does not construe limitation f(i) to
`require that the instantaneous transfer rate of the
`connection be faster than the playback rate at all
`times during transmission of the requested program,
`as the specification makes clear that there will be
`reception interruptions with an internet connection.

`
`Patent Owner does not construe limitation

`

`Petitioner’s Argument That
`Carmel Teaches Client-Side Control Isn’t New
`
`Carmel discloses that data slices are sent by the server 36 only in response
`to requests from clients 30. (E.g., Carmel, 8:1-11, 8:32-31, 10:24-54.)
`Server 36 cannot send data slices without the client’s input and selection.
`Not only is this confirmed by Figs. 6A and 6B (which show that after each
`slice is selected and downloaded, the process repeats), a POSITA would
`understand from the overall disclosure in Carmel that the clients 30 control
`which slices are requested from (and therefore sent by) the server system.
`For example, Carmel teaches that under normal operation the client 30
`“preferably monitors the rate of data coming in” and controls whether to
`establish multiple links. (Carmel, 10:55-63.) A POSITA would understand
`from the possibility of multiple links, that client 30 would need to be in
`control of which data slices are sent on each link in order to ensure that the
`same data slice is not sent over multiple links—which would cause
`wasteful and duplicative use of resources. (Polish, ¶176.)

`Carmel’s Use of HTTP is Consistent With “Pull”
`
`1. Carmel teaches storing slices as separate files
`
`2. Carmel teaches downloading those slices (separate files) using HTTP
`
`3. Experts agree that in order to download separate files using HTTP, the client
`makes separate requests for each file

`

`Carmel’s Use of HTTP is Consistent With “Pull”
`2. Carmel teaches downloading slices using HTTP
`
`• Patent Owner’s attorney argument is contradicted by expert evidence
`
`For example, take the scenario where “client 30” is downloading three
`78.
`Slices (1, 2, 3) over three Links (A, B, C, respectively). If Link B is non-operative,
`“client 30” must decide whether to request Slice 2 on one of the two remaining links,
`open a new link, or drop the file. (Carmel, 10:6-17, 13:30-35.) While Carmel’s
`disclosure enables “client 30” to request Slice 2 on one of the two remaining links
`(by reading the index file and selecting a slice each loop), Carmel provides no
`disclosure as to how “server 36” could perform this functionality.1 Instead, as noted
`previously, Carmel expressly teaches that one of the purposes of the invention is to
`avoid the need for a server with any special-purpose hardware or software that would
`be necessary for the server to perform the functionality. (Carmel, 2:17-21, 6:45-49,
`7:9-12.)
`
`1 If Carmel worked the way Patent Owner suggests, and “client 30” merely selected a
`starting point after which subsequent slices are sent automatically by “server 36,”
`there would be no way for “client 30” to request Slice 2 on an existing link. This is
`contrary to Carmel’s express teaching.
