`
`
`
`The Petitioner has submitted objections on March 18, 2016 to Supplemental Exhibits
`
`2001-2003 filed by the Patent Owner’s on March 11, 2016.
`
`Basically, Petitioner is recycling most of its objections from its objections filed March
`
`11, 2016 with the same defects.
`
`Once again, it is respectfully pointed out that Petitioner has made no objection as to the
`
`content or evidentiary value of the Patent Owner’s Exhibits.
`
`1.
`
`As to the objection pursuant to 37 CFR § 42.63(a), Petitioner has failed again to
`
`comply with 37 CFR 42.64(b)(1) which states, “The objection must identify the
`
`grounds for the objection with sufficient particularity to allow correction in the
`
`form of supplemental evidence.” Thus, Petitioner’s vague statement “failure to
`
`file in the form of an exhibit” does not satisfy 37 CFR 42.64(b)(1).
`
`2.
`
`As to the objection pursuant to F.R.E. 106, Petitioner has failed again to provide
`
`any basis for requiring the Exhibits to be complete copies of the document or
`
`webpage. F.R.E. 106 requires any other part of the document “that in fairness
`
`ought to be considered at the same time”. Petitioner has failed again to explain
`
`the need for the more than 3000 pages of JEDEC21-C to be submitted when a
`
`mere two pages show the information relevant to the Response. It is respectfully
`
`pointed out that the first page of the Exhibit identifies JEDEC21-C as having
`
`more than 3000 pages. Petitioner has failed to point to even a single page of the
`
`3000 pages, other than the pages before the PTAB, that is relevant to this
`
`proceedings.
`
`-2-
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Petitioner objects to Patent Owner’ characterization of Exhibits 2001-2003 at
`
`page 9 of the Patent Owner’s Response, under F.R.E. 702. Petitioner has not
`
`identified the specific language at page 9 again; however it is assumed that
`
`Petitioner is referring to the following paragraph:
`
`The fact that CKE is a control signal is
`evident from its function and the fact that the
`industry standard for memory configurations,
`JEDEC21-C, Section 3.12.3.1, ¶6. identifies CKE
`as a control signal along with WE, CAS, RAS, and
`CS. Attached are: copy of web page from
`www.jedec.org describing the importance of the
`JESD21-C, and copies of pages 3.12.3-1 and
`3.12.3-2 from the JESD21-C.
`
`The JEDEC web site identifies JEDEC21-C as the industry standard for memory
`
`configurations, and apparently, Petitioner believes that only an expert can read
`
`and report this fact to the PTAB. In addition, Petitioner believes that only an
`
`expert can read the Exhibits and report the specific pages and sections to the
`
`PTAB that address the facts. The Petitioner has not pointed to a single opinion
`
`being asserted as an expert. The Exhibits speak for themselves.
