`
`PETITIONERS’ OBJECTIONS TO PATENT OWNER’S
`DEMONSTRATIVES
`
`1 Case IPR2014-01493 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`

`
`Petitioners’ Objections to Demonstratives
`IPR2014-01030
`
`Pursuant to the Order for Oral Hearing (Paper 25, p. 3), Petitioners
`
`respectfully object to slides 35-40, 45-46, and 48 of the Patent Owner’s
`
`demonstratives proposed for the upcoming oral hearing on August 12, 2015 (Paper
`
`8, Scheduling Order). In the Order for Oral Hearing, the Board has directed the
`
`parties to St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of
`
`the University of Michigan, IPR2013-00041 (PTAB January 27, 2014) (Paper 65),
`
`for guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstratives. The present
`
`objections are provided in accordance with the Board’s Order for Oral Hearing and
`
`the guidance from St. Jude.
`
`Slides 35-40, 45-46, and 48 are objected to because they present new
`
`arguments and argumentative characterizations, including previously un-cited
`
`deposition testimony and/or new figures, that have never been previously presented
`
`or discussed in any Paper of record, specifically:
`
`Slides 35 and 40. Petitioners object to slides 35 and 40 because they present
`
`new arguments based on previously un-cited deposition testimony of Patent
`
`Owner’s expert Dr. Mack, regarding alleged differences between shifting a wafer
`
`versus shifting a mask.
`
`Slides 36-39. Petitioners object to slides 36-39 because they present new
`
`arguments based on newly drafted figures (and for slides 37 and 39, previously un-
`
`cited deposition testimony from Dr. Mack’s deposition), regarding alleged

`IPR2014-01030
`
`differences between shifting a wafer versus shifting a mask.
`
`Slide 45. Petitioners object to slide 45 because it presents new
`
`argumentative characterizations based on previously un-cited deposition testimony
`
`from Dr. Mack’s deposition, regarding the teachings of Jinbo.
`
`Slide 46. Petitioners object to slide 46 because it presents new
`
`argumentative characterizations based on previously un-cited deposition testimony
`
`from Dr. Mack’s deposition, regarding the description of the ‘084 patent abstract
`
`and other embodiments described in the specification.
`
`Slides 48 and 50. Petitioners object to slides 48 and 50 because they present
`
`new arguments based on the file history of a patent related to the 084 Patent that
`
`was not previously discussed or argued in any Paper of record.
`
`The Petitioners request that the Board not consider or rely on any arguments
`
`based on slides 35-40, 45-46, and 48, and further that the Board prohibit the Patent
`
`Owner from using these slides, as well as verbally arguing the content thereof, at
`
`the oral hearing on August 12, 2015.
`
`Dated: August 10, 2015
