Request for Receipt of Evidence without a Sponsoring Witness Granted in Part and Denied in Part in Inv. No. 337-TA-712
ALJ Gildea ordered that certain requested exhibits--the asserted patents, their file histories, and assignment records, may be offered into evidence without a supporting witness in In the Matter of Certain Digital Set-Top Boxes and Components Thereof, Inv. No. 337-TA-712. Gildea found that the patents, file histories, and assignment records were non-controversial and unobjectionable and, thus, met one of the exceptions to the general rule requiring a sponsoring witness. Gildea denied Complainant's request to admit additional exhibits without a sponsoring witness because the Complainant failed to demonstrate those proposed exhibits were non-controversial.
