`
`BIOGEN’S OBJECTIONS TO PETITIONER’S EXHIBITS
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01993
`Patent 8,399,514
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner Biogen MA Inc. submits
`
`the following objections to Petitioner’s Exhibit Nos. 1002, 1004, 1006, 1022, 1029,
`
`1040, 1041, 1042, 1043, and 1044. Biogen’s objections apply equally to
`
`Petitioner’s reliance on these exhibits in any subsequently filed documents. These
`
`objections are timely, having been served within ten business days of the Board’s
`
`decision to institute a trial in this proceeding.
`
`Exhibit 1002
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibit 1002 under Fed. R. Evid. 106 because this Exhibit
`
`appears to be an abstract of a larger document. Biogen further objects to this
`
`Exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 802. To the extent Petitioner relies on the contents of
`
`this Exhibit for the truth of the matter asserted, Biogen objects to such contents as
`
`inadmissible hearsay (see Rule 801) that does not fall under any exceptions,
`
`including those of Rules 803, 804, 805, and 807. Biogen also objects to this
`
`Exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 901 as not being properly authenticated.
`
`Exhibit 1004
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibit 1004 under Fed. R. Evid. 802. To the extent
`
`Petitioner relies on the contents of this Exhibit for the truth of the matter asserted,
`
`Biogen objects to such contents as inadmissible hearsay (see Rule 801) that does
`
`not fall under any exceptions, including those of Rules 803, 804, 805, and 807.
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01993
`Patent 8,399,514
`Biogen further objects to this Exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 901 as not being properly
`
`authenticated.
`
`Exhibit 1006
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibit 1006 under Fed. R. Evid. 802. To the extent
`
`Petitioner relies on the contents of this Exhibit for the truth of the matter asserted,
`
`Biogen objects to such contents as inadmissible hearsay (see Rule 801) that does
`
`not fall under any exceptions, including those of Rules 803, 804, 805, and 807.
`
`Biogen further objects to this Exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 901 as not being properly
`
`authenticated.
`
`Exhibit 1022
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibit 1022 under Fed. R. Evid. 802. To the extent
`
`Petitioner relies on the contents of this Exhibit for the truth of the matter asserted,
`
`Biogen objects to such contents as inadmissible hearsay (see Rule 801) that does
`
`not fall under any exceptions, including those of Rules 803, 804, 805, and 807.
`
`Biogen further objects to this Exhibit under Fed. R. Evid. 901 as not being properly
`
`authenticated.
`
`Exhibits 1029
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibit 1029 under Fed. R. Evid. 401-403 as lacking
`
`nexus to the grounds on which the Board has instituted inter partes review. In
`
`particular, this Exhibit does not make any fact more or less probable than it would
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01993
`Patent 8,399,514
`be without the Exhibit. Moreover, this Exhibit is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the
`
`issues, misleads the factfinder, and is a waste of time. Biogen further objects to this
`
`Exhibit because Petitioner never relied on it in the Petition, explained with
`
`particularity where the subject matter of any of the challenged claims can be found
`
`in this Exhibit, stated the relevance of this Exhibit, and/or identified specific
`
`portions of this Exhibit that support the challenges in the Petition. 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 312(a)(3); 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.104(b)(4), (b)(5).
`
`Exhibits 1040, 1041, 1042, and 1043
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibits 1040, 1041, 1042, and 1043 under Fed. R. Evid.
`
`802. To the extent Petitioner relies on the contents of these Exhibits for the truth of
`
`the matter asserted, Biogen objects to such contents as inadmissible hearsay (see
`
`Rule 801) that does not fall under any exceptions, including those of Rules 803,
`
`804, 805, and 807. Biogen further objects to these Exhibits under Fed. R. Evid. 901
`
`as not being properly authenticated.
`
`Exhibits 1044
`
`Biogen objects to Exhibit 1044 under Fed. R. Evid. 401-403 as lacking
`
`nexus to the grounds on which the Board has instituted inter partes review. In
`
`particular, this Exhibit does not make any fact more or less probable than it would
`
`be without the Exhibit. Moreover, this Exhibit is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the
`
`issues, misleads the factfinder, and is a waste of time. Biogen further objects to this

`Exhibit because Petitioner never relied on it in the Petition, explained with
