`Patent 6,197,696 Bl
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner Taiwan
`
`Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. hereby submits a list of objections to
`
`Patent Owner IP Bridge’s Exhibit 2004 submitted during the preliminary
`
`proceeding, identified in the chart below:
`
`Exhibit
`
`«4: 004
`
`S.M.Kaplan, Wiley Electrical and Electronics Engineering Dictionary
`(2004) (excerpted)
`
`I.
`
`Objection to Patent Owner’s Exhibit 2004—Irrelevant and Non-
`Probative Evidence
`
`Patent Owner’s Exhibit 2004is irrelevant to any material facts at issue in
`
`these proceedings, and any probative value Patent Owner maytry to assign them is
`
`substantially outweighed by their tendency to confuse the issues, mislead the
`
`Board, waste time, and needlessly present cumulative evidence. Exhibit 2004 is
`
`therefore inadmissible under Fed. R. Evid. 401, 402, and 403.
`
`Exhibit 2004, which bears a copyright date of 2004, appears to have been
`
`published years after the date of invention (March 23, 1999, see Paper 11, at 19—
`
`26). It thus provides only “impermissible .
`
`.
`
`. later knowledge aboutlater art-
`
`related facts,” In re Hogan, 559 F.2d 595, 605 (CCPA 1977), andis irrelevant.
