`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO PETITIONERS’
`DEMONSTRATIVES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 DISH Network, L.L.C., who filed a Petition in IPR2017-00251, and Comcast
`Cable Communications, L.L.C., Cox Communications, Inc., Time Warner Cable
`Enterprises L.L.C., Verizon Services Corp., and ARRIS Group, Inc., who filed a
`Petition in IPR2017-00420, have been joined in this proceeding.

`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Petitioners’ Demonstratives
`IPR2016-01006
`Patent No. 7,835,430
`
`
`Patent Owner TQ Delta, LLC (“Patent Owner”) submits the below
`
`objections to Petitioners’ demonstrative exhibits. A copy of the objected-to
`
`portions of the demonstratives is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`
`
`Slide 5 – The statement “PO Expert, Dr. Short”
`
`is a
`
`mischaracterization of the record, or at the very least misleading, because Dr. Short
`
`is not Patent Owner’s expert in any of IPR2016-01006, -1007, -1008, or -1009
`
`which are the subject of this hearing; he is an expert in an unrelated proceeding and
`
`his cited hearsay testimony is a subject of Patent Owner’s Motion to Exclude.
`
`
`
`Slide 12 – The statement in the heading that “Patent Owner’s expert
`
`admits that ‘power spectral density’ represents ‘power level’” is not supported by
`
`the quoted testimony (i.e., Dr. Chrissan’s testimony that “if you integrated the
`
`power spectral density” then “you would have a measure of power”), because Dr.
`
`Chrissan was not specifically asked, nor did he answer, that power spectral density
`
`“represents” power level.
`
`
`
`Slide 41 – The statement highlighted by Petitioners that “Another
`
`motivation provided in the Petition—also ignored by TQ Delta—was to ‘make
`
`Milbrandt’s system compliant with the ANSI T1.413 standard” misrepresents the
`
`record, because Patent Owner did not ignore that alleged motivation, addressing it
`
`at pages 6 and 30-31 of its Preliminary Response and pages 20-21 of its Response.

`
`Patent Owner’s Objections to Petitioners’ Demonstratives
`IPR2016-01006
`Patent No. 7,835,430
`
`
`
`
`Slide 5 – Patent Owner maintains its objection to the improper new
`
`Reply argument and evidence cited in this slide (the entirety of the slide), which
`
`was identified in Patent Owner’s Listing of Improper Reply / New Argument and
`
`Evidence (Paper 21).
`
`
`
`Slide 21 – Patent Owner maintains its objection to the improper new
`
`Reply argument and evidence cited in this slide (new expert testimony that “an
`
`array of SNR margin test parameters would in fact represent SNR per
`
`subchannel”), which was identified in Patent Owner’s Listing of Improper Reply /
`
`New Argument and Evidence (Paper 21).
`
`
`
`Slide 33 - Patent Owner maintains its objection to the improper new
`
`Reply argument and evidence cited in this slide (the entire slide regarding
`
`Milbrandt’s alleged inability to “allow for readily assessing system interactions”
`
`by distinguishing different noise sources) which was identified in Patent Owner’s
`
`Listing of Improper Reply / New Argument and Evidence (Paper 21).
`
`
`
`Slide 38 - Patent Owner maintains its objection to the improper new
`
`Reply argument and evidence cited in this slide (new expert testimony that “[a]
`
`POSITA would have understood that the aggregate includes individual values for
`
`each of sub-carriers” and a new figure from new Exhibit 1009), which were
`
`identified in Patent Owner’s Listing of Improper Reply / New Argument and

`
`Evidence (Paper 21).
`
`
`
`Slide 42 - Patent Owner maintains its objection to the improper new
`
`Reply argument and evidence cited in this slide (new expert testimony that “a
`
`POSITA would have measured the PSD based on Reverb to understand the
`
`changes over the frequency spectrum (i.e., per subchannel)”, and a new figure from
`
`new Exhibit 1009), which was identified in Patent Owner’s Listing of Improper
`
`Reply / New Argument and Evidence (Paper 21).
