`
`Case IPR2013-00506
`Attorney Docket No: 13958-0116IP2
`Under 37 C.F.R. 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner, NuVasive, Inc., objects to
`
`exhibits, including objections to the exhibits filed on September 5, 2014, as
`
`follows. Most of the exhibits are not relevant to inter partes review of the
`
`challenged patent under the grounds and arguments contained in the Petition or
`
`under the grounds adopted in the Institution Decision. Rather, most of the exhibits
`
`identified below are not prior art, are not references upon which inter partes
`
`review has been granted, and will serve only to confuse the issues if permitted.
`
`Many of the exhibits contain hearsay, are not authenticated, and suffer from other
`
`admissibility and relevance issues. Moreover, the exhibits identified below are
`
`inadmissible under Federal Rule of Evidence 403 because they are substantially
`
`more prejudicial than probative at this late stage of the proceedings, after the
`
`Patent Owner’s Response.
