`Patent Owner
`Case IPR2023-00701
`U.S. Patent No. 8,510,407 B1

`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO PETITIONER’S EVIDENCE
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`Patent Owner DoDots Licensing Solutions LLC (“DoDots”) hereby objects
`
`under the Federal Rules of Evidence (“F.R.E.”) to the admissibility of Exhibits
`
`1003, 1005, and 1017, which the Petitioner filed with its Petition.
`
`EXHIBIT 1003
`I.
`Exhibit 1003 is the declaration of Petitioner’s expert Dr. Douglas C.
`
`Schmidt. DoDots objects to Exhibit 1003 under F.R.E. 403, 602, 702, 703, and 901
`
`because Dr. Schmidt, in his declaration, admits to using the BRI standard when
`
`construing the challenged claims to opine on whether they are invalidated by the
`
`cited prior art. See Ex. 1003 at paragraph 26. The use of the incorrect claim
`
`
`
`IPR2023-00701 (U.S. Patent No. 8,510,407)
`
`construction standard renders Dr. Schmidt’s entire opinion unreliable and
`
`irrelevant. Moreover, Petitioner has not provided the proper foundation for the
`
`inclusion of Dr. Schmidt’s declaration because they have failed to provide
`
`evidence from anyone with firsthand knowledge that Dr. Schmidt did not rely on
`
`and/or did not intend to rely on the BRI standard and simply made a typographical
`
`error.
`
`II. EXHIBIT 1005
`Exhibit 1005 is the Brown prior art patent that Petitioner relies on as its
`
`principal reference. DoDots objects to Exhibit 1005 (and any discussion of this
`
`exhibit in the Petitioner’s petition and expert declaration of Dr. Schmidt) under
`
`F.R.E. 106 and 901 because the Petitioner has failed to provide and file a complete
`
`copy of the Brown patent specification. The Brown patent incorporates by
`
`reference the entirety of Scott Issacs’s Inside Dynamic HTML, Microsoft Press,
`
`October 30, 1997. See Col. 13 at 10-13. Petitioner has, however, failed to provide a
`
`copy of this book to either the Board or the Patent Owner along with the petition.
`
`By failing to provide a copy of this book, the Petitioner and its expert are relying
`
`on an incomplete copy of the Brown patent in constructing and supporting many of
`
`their invalidity arguments.

`
`
`IPR2023-00701 (U.S. Patent No. 8,510,407)
`
`
`III. EXHIBIT 1017
`Exhibit 1017 is an article that purportedly appeared on CNET in February
`
`1996. Petitioner and its expert rely on this exhibit as a prior art reference in support
`
`of several invalidity arguments. DoDots objects to Exhibit 1017 (and any
`
`discussion of this exhibit in the petition and Dr. Schmidt’s declaration) under
`
`F.R.E. 901 and 703 because the Petitioner has failed to authenticate this article and
`
`provide any evidence that it is actually prior art. Accordingly, any reliance by the
`
`Petitioner or its expert on Exhibit 1017 is improper and unreliable.
