`U.S. Pat. No. 8,092,345
`IPR2015-00698
`Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of Its Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`I. MS. DAVIS’S DECLARATION IS NOT ADMISSIBLE
`Ms. Davis’s opinions fail to apply any reliable principle or method to
`
`evaluate commercial success.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` See
`
`General Elec. Co. v. Joiner, 522 U.S. 136, 146 (1997).
`
`Petitioner suggests that reliability of Ms. Davis’s opinions is confirmed by
`
`LG Chem., Ltd. v. Celgard, LLC, IPR2014-00692, Paper 76 (Oct. 5, 2015).
`
`However, Petitioner makes no efforts to compare Ms. Davis’s opinions,
`
`methodology, or the facts considered, with the opinion admitted in LG Chem.
`
`Petitioner also suggests that Ms. Davis has used the same methodology in the past
`
`and courts have admitted her testimony over Daubert challenges. Paper 54 at 5
`

`
`

`

`U.S. Pat. No. 8,092,345
`IPR2015-00698
`Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of Its Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`(citation omitted). However, the admissibility of Ms. Davis’s opinions in the cited
`
`case again says nothing about the admissibility of her opinions in this matter.
`
`Kumho Tire Co., Ltd. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137, 150 (1999) (“[T]he
`
`gatekeeping inquiry must be tied to the facts of a particular case.”) Importantly,
`
`nothing in the excerpted materials in Exhibit 1020 suggests that there was any
`
`objection tendered based on her methodology.
`
`Ms. Davis’s opinion
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Courts consistently exclude as unreliable expert testimony that considers
`
`only one side of the story and fails to account for alternative explanations. For
`
`example, in United Phosphorus v. Midland Fumigant, Inc., 173 F.R.D. 675, 680

`U.S. Pat. No. 8,092,345
`IPR2015-00698
`Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of Its Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`(D. Kan. 1997) an expert’s testimony was offered as proof that plaintiff’s
`
`trademark had no economic value. But the expert ignored certain facts that would
`
`have been useful in valuing the trademark. Id. at 683. That failure to account for
`
`such facts “violated a fundamental principle of economics” and the court excluded
`
`the testimony as unreliable under Daubert. Id.; see also, Crystal Semiconductor
`
`Corp. v. Tritech Microelectronics Int’l Inc., 246 F.3d 1336 (Fed. Cir. 2001)
`
`(affirming decision to remit plaintiff’s damages because the jury’s damage award
`
`was based upon expert testimony that did not account for effects of price erosion
`
`on lost profits); In re Executive Teleecard, Limited Securities Litigation, 99 F.
`
`Supp. 1021 (S.D.N.Y. 1997).

`IPR2015-00698
`Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of Its Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` These multiple failures to assess
`
`and address facts adverse to her simplistic focus on profits confirm that Ms. Davis’
`
`opinions are too unreliable to be admitted.
`
`II. EXHIBITS 1012, 1017, AND 1018 SHOULD BE EXCLUDED
`Petitioner now seeks to introduce Exhibits 1017 and Exhibit 1018 to replace
`
`Exhibit 1012, with Exhibit 1017 containing the only cited testimony from Dr.
`
`Michalson. However, the introduction of Exhibit 1017 violates the principles
`
`governing 37 C.F.R. § 42.53. The scope of Dr. Michalson’s cross-examination is
`
`limited to his direct testimony in Exhibit 2002. Petitioner cites to nothing in
`
`Exhibit 2002 that discusses selective availability or its relation to DeLorme (Ex.
`
`1005). Accordingly, Exhibit 1017 exceeds the scope of Dr. Michalson’s cross-
`
`examination and prejudiced Patent Owner because Patent Owner could not
`
`properly lodge this objection at the time the testimony was taken as required by the
`
`Board’s rules. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(f)(8). Further, Petitioner’s suggestion that
`
`Patent Owner could have asked questions on redirect ignores that the scope of re-
`
`4
`
`

`

`U.S. Pat. No. 8,092,345
`IPR2015-00698
`Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of Its Motion to Exclude Evidence
`
`direct is limited by the scope of the cross-examination, and during both the
`
`October deposition and the February deposition in this matter, Petitioner asked no
`
`questions of Dr. Michalson about the applicability of selective availability to
`
`DeLorme or the combination of Mault and DeLorme. The failure to ask questions
`
`of Dr. Michalson regarding the references for which Petitioner uses this testimony
`
`demonstrates the unfairness of Petitioner’s failure to comply with § 42.53.2
`
`III. EXHIBIT 1008 SHOULD BE EXCLUDED
`Exhibit 1008 should be excluded under FRE 402 because Petitioner has not
`
`shown that the January 2000 date reflects the date upon which the document
`
`became sufficiently publicly accessible. Moreover, if Petitioner relies on that date
`
`to establish that GPS-enabled route guidance was well-known before February 20,
`
`2001, this information qualifies as hearsay under FRE 802 and should be excluded.
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board grant this motion to
`
`Exclude Evidence.
`
`
`2 None of the IPR proceedings identified by Petitioner (Paper 54 at 13-14) discuss
`
`the propriety of using deposition transcripts from other proceedings as it relates to
`
`the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.53.
