`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`Case IPR2020-00614
`Patent 7,295,673
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) and the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`(“FRE”), Patent Owner objects to the following documents submitted by
`
`Petitioners Netflix, Inc. and Hulu, LLC.
`
`Nothing in this paper should be construed as an admission that any rights of
`
`Patent Owner would have been waived or forfeited had the paper or any objection
`
`herein not been filed, or that 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b) applies to any of the objections
`
`herein if § 42.64(b) would not otherwise apply. The objections herein are
`
`premised upon § 42.64 potentially being determined to apply to the document in
`
`question and are submitted solely to preserve the rights of Patent Owner should
`
`§ 42.64(b) be determined to apply.
`
`1.
`
`Exhibit 1018
`
`Under FRE 401/402/403, this document is inadmissible as irrelevant
`
`because, among other things, it relates to another matter, a different patent, a
`
`different specification and different technology, and its probative value, if any, is
`
`outweighed by other considerations including prejudice, confusion and waste of
`
`time.
`
`2.
`
`Exhibit 1019
`
`Under the Trial Practice Guide, this exhibit is untimely, presents a new
`
`theory of unpatentability, and cites to new, untimely evidence, including, but not
`
`limited to, all paragraphs citing to the Exhibits objected to herein, as well as ¶¶ 28-
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`34. Under FRE 401/402/403/702, this document or documents include testimony
`
`not relevant to the instituted review, because, among other things, it has not been
`
`shown that the purportedly expert declarant is qualified to testify competently
`
`regarding the matters the opinions are said to address, or that the declarant’s
`
`testimony is based on sufficient facts or data or arrived at by reliable principles,
`
`procedures, or methods reliably applied to the facts of this case, or that the
`
`declarant’s opinion will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to
`
`determine any fact in issue and does not have a greater potential to mislead than to
`
`enlighten. Under FRE 602/701/801/802 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.61, this document or
`
`documents include testimony that is not shown to be based on first-hand
`
`knowledge including of how relied-upon data was generated, is based on
