`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`APPLE INC.,
`Petitioner
`
`v.
`
`VIRNETX INC.

`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO
`PETITIONER’S EXHIBITS
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner VirnetX Inc. submits the
`
`Case IPR2015-00866
`Patent No. 8,458,341
`
`
`
`following objections to certain exhibits submitted by Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) in
`
`Case No. IPR2015-00866. Patent Owner’s objections apply equally to Petitioner’s
`
`reliance on these exhibits in any subsequently-filed documents. These objections
`
`are timely, having been served within ten business days of the Board’s decision to
`
`institute a trial in this proceeding.
`
`Exhibits 1005, 1022, 1023, and 1043
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1005 under Rules 401-403 of the Federal
`
`Rules of Evidence to the extent that Exhibit 1005 contains testimony unrelated to
`
`the grounds of rejection on which the Board instituted inter partes review. See,
`
`e.g., at least testimony relating to U.S. Patent Nos. 8,516,131 and 8,560,705,
`
`Aventail, Brand, and RFC 2543. Patent Owner similarly objects to Exhibits 1022,
`
`1023, and 1043 under Rules 401-403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence because
`
`they contain testimony unrelated to the grounds of rejection on which the Board
`
`instituted inter partes review. Patent Owner further objects to Exhibits 1022,
`
`1023, and 1043 under Rule 802 of the Federal Rules of Evidence because the
`
`testimony in these Exhibits constitutes inadmissible hearsay.
`
`Exhibits 1003, 1004, 1010-1041, 1043-1048, 1050, 1051, 1053, and 1054
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibits 1003, 1004, 1010-1041, 1043-1048, 1050,
`
`1051, 1053, and 1054 under Rules 401-403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence on
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`the grounds that these exhibits contain evidence not relevant to issues in this
`
`Case IPR2015-00866
`Patent No. 8,458,341
`
`proceeding because the evidence lacks a nexus to the grounds of rejection on
`
`which the Board has instituted inter partes review.
`
`Exhibits 1002-1004, 1006, 1010-1041, 1043-1048, 1050, 1051, 1053, and 1054
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibits 1002-1004, 1006, 1010-1041, 1043-1048,
`
`1050, 1051, 1053, and 1054 under Rules 401-403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`because Petitioner never relied on these exhibits in the Petition.
`

`
`Respectfully submitted,
