`
`(Consolidated) (N.D. Ill.).
`
`FRE ARTICLE IV – RELEVANCE AND ITS LIMITS
`
`Petitioners object to TT Exhibit Nos. 2337, 2536, 2537, and 2538 as
`
`irrelevant under 401 and thus inadmissible under FRE 402 because cited portions
`
`are not relevant to any issue remaining in this proceeding, such as patentability of
`
`
`
`CBM2016-00054
`U.S. Patent No. 7,693,768
`the subject matter, broadest reasonable interpretation of the claims, or obviousness
`
`of the claims in view of the prior art, or because any probative value associated
`
`therewith is substantially outweighed by a danger of unfair prejudice, confusing
`
`the issues, or a waste of time under FRE 403.
`
`FRE ARTICLE VIII – HEARSAY
`
`To the extent Patent Owner relies on the contents of TT Exhibit Nos. 2536,
`
`2537, and 2538 for the truth of the matter asserted, Petitioners object to such
`
`contents as inadmissible hearsay under FRE 801 and 802 that does not fall under
`
`any exceptions, including those of FRE 803, 804, 805 or 807.
`
`FRE ARTICLE IX – AUTHENTICATION AND IDENTIFICATION
`
`Petitioners object to TT Exhibit Nos. 2536, 2537, and 2538 as not properly
`
`authenticated under FRE 901 because Patent Owner has not presented sufficient
`
`evidence to demonstrate that these documents are authentic nor that the documents
`
`are self-authenticating under FRE 902.
`
`CITING EXHIBITS NOT SERVED
`
`Petitioners object to TT Exhibit Nos. 2536, 2537, and 2538 as citing exhibits
`
`not served with the documents as required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(1)(i).
