`
`PATENT OWNER’S SECOND SET OF OBJECTIONS
`TO PETITIONER’S EVIDENCE
`
`
`
`
`
`The Federal Rules of Evidence (“FRE”) generally apply to proceedings before
`
`Case IPR2019-00865
`U.S. Patent No. 9,795,604
`
`
`
`the Board. 37 C.F.R. § 42.62(a). Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) and the FRE,
`
`Patent Owner Pharmacyclics LLC submits the following objections to certain
`
`exhibits submitted by Petitioner Sandoz Inc. These objections apply equally to
`
`Petitioner’s reliance on these exhibits in any subsequently filed documents. These
`
`objections are timely filed and served within five business days of service. 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.64(b)(1).
`
`Exhibit 1024
`
`To the extent Petitioner relies on the content of Exhibit 1024 for the truth of
`
`the matter asserted, Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1024 as inadmissible hearsay
`
`(see FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803,
`
`804, 805, and 807. Patent Owner further objects to Exhibit 1024 because it lacks
`
`proper foundation and/or authenticity under FRE 901. In addition, Patent Owner
`
`objects to Exhibit 1024 under FRE 401–403 as lacking relevance to the instituted
`
`grounds. Further, Exhibit 1024 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads
`
`the factfinder, and/or is a waste of time (FRE 403).
`
`Exhibit 1025
`
`To the extent Petitioner relies on the content of Exhibit 1025 for the truth of
`
`the matter asserted, Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1025 as inadmissible hearsay
`
`(see FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803,

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2019-00865
`U.S. Patent No. 9,795,604
`
`804, 805, and 807. Patent Owner further objects to Exhibit 1025 because it lacks
`
`proper foundation and/or authenticity under FRE 901. In addition, Patent Owner
`
`objects to Exhibit 1025 under FRE 401–403 as lacking relevance to the instituted
`
`grounds. Further, Exhibit 1025 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads
`
`the factfinder, and/or is a waste of time (FRE 403).
`
`Exhibit 1026
`
`To the extent Petitioner relies on the content of Exhibit 1026 for the truth of
`
`the matter asserted, Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1026 as inadmissible hearsay
`
`(see FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803,
`
`804, 805, and 807. Patent Owner further objects to Exhibit 1026 because it lacks
`
`proper foundation and/or authenticity under FRE 901. In addition, Patent Owner
`
`objects to Exhibit 1026 under FRE 401–403 as lacking relevance to the instituted
`
`grounds. Further, Exhibit 1026 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads
`
`the factfinder, and/or is a waste of time (FRE 403).
`
`Exhibit 1027
`
`To the extent Petitioner relies upon Exhibit 1027 to show the state of the art,
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1027 as not relevant, confusing, unfairly prejudicial,
`
`and wasting time because Exhibit 1027 is not prior art (FRE 401–403). Patent
`
`Owner also objects to Exhibit 1027 under the Best Evidence Rule (FRE 1001–1003).
`
`To the extent Petitioner relies on the content of Exhibit 1027 for the truth of the
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case IPR2019-00865
`U.S. Patent No. 9,795,604
`
`matter asserted, Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1027 as inadmissible hearsay (see
`
`FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, and 807. Patent Owner further objects to Exhibit 1027 because it lacks proper
`
`foundation and/or authenticity under FRE 901.
`
`Exhibit 1028
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1028 as an incomplete document (FRE 106).
