`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01087
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner Massachusetts Institute
`
`Of Technology (“MIT” or “Patent Owner”) objects to the admissibility of the
`
`supplemental evidence identified below that was served by Micron Technology,
`
`Inc. and Micron Memory Japan, Inc. (“Micron” or “Petitioner”), for the following
`
`reasons:
`
`A. Exhibits 1048-1051, 1053
`Exhibits 1048-1051, 1053 are objected to as lacking relevance, causing
`
`undue prejudice, and for lacking authentication. For example, Petitioner does not
`
`offer evidence that these exhibits are what Petitioner claims them to be, and the
`
`documents are not self-authenticating. See Fed. R. Evid. 901. For further
`
`example, these exhibits are irrelevant and cause undue prejudice because Petitioner
`
`relies on these exhibits improperly to attempt to fill in absent claim elements of the
`
`challenged claims in the asserted art where the asserted art itself is silent, including
`
`in purported anticipation analyses. See Fed. R. Evid. 401-403. Petitioner does not
`
`assert these documents themselves as prior art references that anticipate or
`
`combine to render obvious the challenged patent claims, and as such are not listed
`
`as specific grounds for challenging the patent claims. Because these documents
`
`are used improperly by Petitioner, the prejudice they would cause outweighs any
`
`purported probative value. See Id. Exhibits 1052 and 1054 are declarations from
`
`counsel for Petitioner that certain of these documents were printed from certain
`
`1
`
`
`

`
`Case No. IPR2015-01087
`
`websites at certain times, but these declarations are deficient. For example, they
`
`still offer no further evidence that the respective documents printed off of these
`
`websites are what they claim to be or were available and unaltered from the date
`
`that Petitioner claims to the date they were stated to have been printed by counsel
`
`for Petitioner.
`
`Exhibits 1045-1051, 1053
`B.
`Exhibits 1045-1051 and 1053 are objected to for containing hearsay. See
`
`Fed. R. Evid. 801, 802. For example, Petitioner relies on these exhibits to prove
`
`the truth of material properties, product introduction dates, and/or alleged industry
`
`practices in the prior art.
`
`C. Exhibit 1045
`Exhibit 1045 is objected to as lacking completeness. See Fed. R. Evid. 106.
`
`
`
`MIT renews its prior objections as they apply to the allegedly corresponding
`
`supplements. The objections have been made within five business days from the
`
`December 7, 2015 service of Petitioner’s supplemental evidence.
