`
`COMPLAINANT BOSE CORPORATION’S RESPONSES TO
`RESPONDENTS’ JOINT OBJECTIONS TO BOSE’S PROPOSED REBUTTAL TRIAL EXHIBITS
`
`
`
`Key to Code for Respondents’ Objections:
`
` = “Authentication Lacking: The exhibit is objectionable because the exhibit has not been properly authenticated. Fed. R. Evid. 901.” as well as
`“901”
`
` A
`
` B
`
` = “Not Best Evidence: The testimony or exhibit is objectionable because it is vague and ambiguous as to whether the witness is summarizing
`his/her/its own independent understandings related to the document or the contents of a document. If the latter, the testimony constitutes an
`impermissible attempt to prove the content of a document with secondary evidence. Fed. R. Evid. 1001 - 1004.”
`
` C
`
` = “Misleading/Confusion of Issues/Waste of Time: The testimony or exhibit is objectionable because its probative value is substantially
`outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or by considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of
`cumulative evidence. Fed. R. Evid. 403.” as well as “403”
`
` E
`
` = “Unqualified Expert Testimony: The testimony is inadmissible because (1) the witness is not a qualified expert, (2) the testimony is not based
`upon sufficient facts or data, (2) the testimony is not the product of reliable principles and methods, (4) the witness has failed to apply the principles
`and methods reliably to the facts of the case, and (5) the testimony does not provide scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge that will
`assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue. Fed. R. Evid. 702.” as well as “contains improper expert opinions”
`
`ED = “No Expert Designation: The testimony or exhibit is objectionable because it constitutes attempted to offer expert testimony from a person who
`was not been designated as an expert and/or who did not submit an expert report. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26.”
`
`EU = “Undisclosed Expert Opinion: The testimony is objectionable because the witness failed to disclose the testimony in the witness’s expert
`report. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2).”
`
` F
`
` = “No Foundation: The testimony given lacks foundation.” as well as “Lack of foundation.” as well as “Question Lacks Foundation: The question
`is objectionable because it lacks foundation because th question assumes facts not in evidence.”
`
` H
`
` = “Hearsay in Exhibit or Testimony: The testimony or exhibit contains, is the result of, or is based upon hearsay. Fed. R. Evid. 801-802.” as well
`as “Hearsay in testimony 801-802;” as well as “802”

`which the person lacks personal knowledge. Fed. R. Evid. 602.” as well as “Lack of personal knowledge 602”
`
` L
`
` = “Leading Question: The question is objectionable because it is leading in that the question suggests the desired answer. Fed. R. Evid. 611.”
`
`
`LC = “Legal Conclusion: the testimony or exhibit is objectionable because it constitutes a legal conclusion. ‘Although Federal Rule of Evidence 704
`permits an expert witness to give expert testimony that ‘embraces an ultimate issue to be decided by the trier of fact,’ an expert witness is prohibited
`from rendering a legal opinion.’ See e.g., Berckeley Inv. Group v. Colkitt, 455 F.3d 195, 217 (3d Cir. 2006).” as well as “Question call for and
`answer contains improper legal conclusion;”
`
`ND = “Not Produced During Discvoery: The testimony or exhibit is objectionable because it was not produced during discovery or disclose din
`response to a discovery request.”
`
`NR = “Non-Responsive Answer: The testimony fails to address the subject matter of the question or the answer exceeds the scope of the question and
`constitutes a volunteered statement by the witness.” as well as “Nonresponsive answer.”
`
` O
`
` = “Inadmissible Lay Opinion: The testimony is objectionable because the testimony constitutes an opinion or inference which is (a) not rationally
`based on the perception of the witness, (b) not helpful to a clear understanding of the witness’ testimony or the determination of a fact in issue, or (c)
`based on scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge. Fed. R. Evid. 701.” as well as “Inadmissible lay opinion (701);”
`
`QH = “Question Calls for Hearsay: The question is objectionable because the questions asks the witness to state hearsay. Fed. R. Evid. 801-802.” as
`well as “Calls for hearsay 801-802;”

` R
`
` = “Lacks Relevance: The testimony or exhibit is objectionable because it is not relevant. Fed. R. Evid. 402.” as well as “Irrelevant 401-402;” as

`witness. Respondents reserve the right to object to the exhibit as lacking a sponsoring witness if no witness sponsors the exhibit through live
`testimony.”

`
`Bose’s Responses
`
`This exhibit is not being offered for the truth of
`the matter asserted, but rather is offered to show
`that the statement was made. This exhibit is
`reliable and should be admitted because the
`nature of the information and the record makes it
`useful. Matter of Reclosable Plastic Bags, ITC
`Inv. No. 337-TA-22, Commission Memorandum
`Opinion at 13 (1977).
`The exhibit is authenticated through the testimony
`of the sponsoring witness, Dan Guager. This
`exhibit is relative to at least validity, particularly
`secondary factors that the asserted patents were
`not obvious. This exhibit clarifies the issues, is
`not prejudicial, and is not a waste of time. This
`document is "relevant, material, and reliable
`evidence shall be admitted" as provided by 19
`CFR 210.37(b).

`
`Dr. Begault was designated as an expert witness
`by Complainant and his expert opinions were
`disclosed in expert reports and at his deposition.
`
`Not Legal Conclusion: The testimony or exhibit
`embraces an ultimate issue to be decided by the
`trier of fact; the expert witness is not rendering a
`legal opinion.
`
`Respondents’ objections (1) are premised entirely
`on attorney argument, (2) are not based on any
`admissible evidence, and (3) go to the weight, not
`the admissibility of the evidence.
`SW, E, EU, O, ED, LC Dr. Begault is the sponsoring witness for his
`testimony.
`
`Qualified Expert Testimony: The testimony is
`admissible because (1) the witness is a qualified
`expert, (2) the testimony is based upon sufficient
`facts or data, (3) the testimony is the product of
`reliable principles and methods, (4) the witness
`has applied the principles and methods reliably to
`the facts of the case, and (5) the testimony does
`provide scientific, technical, or other specialized
`knowledge that will assist the trier of fact to
`understand the evidence or to determine a fact in
`issue. See Fed. R. Evid. 702.
`
`Disclosed Expert Opinion: The witness did
`disclose the testimony in the witness’ expert
`report. See, e.g., CX-45C, pp. 6 – 36.
