`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO PETITIONER’S EXHIBITS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Philips Lighting North America
`
`IPR2015-01294
`U.S. Patent No. 7,038,399
`
`
`Corporation submits the following objections to certain exhibits submitted by
`
`Wangs Alliance Corporation d/b/a WAC Lighting Co. (“Petitioner”). Patent
`
`Owner’s objections apply equally to Petitioner’s reliance on these exhibits in any
`
`subsequently filed documents. These objections are timely, having been filed
`
`within five business days of service of the evidence to which the objections are
`
`directed.
`
`Exhibits 1018, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1023 and 1024
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibits 1018, 1020, 2021, 1022, 1023, and 1024
`
`under Rules 401-403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence because the evidence in
`
`these exhibits lacks nexus to the grounds on which the Board has instituted inter
`
`partes review. Patent owner further objects because Petitioner never relied on the
`
`exhibits, explained with particularity where the subject matter of any of the
`
`challenged claims can be found in any of the exhibits, stated the relevance of the
`
`exhibits, and/or identified specific portions of the exhibits that support the
`
`challenges in the Petition.
`
`Exhibit 1019
`
`
`
`Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1019 under Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of
`
`Evidence because opinions contained therein are conclusory and lack sufficient
`
`explanation. The opinions are not based on sufficient facts or data, and are not the
`
`2
`
`
`
`product of reliable principles and methods reliably applied to the facts of the case.
