`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Contrary to statements made in their motion to exclude (e.g., Paper 44 at 7),
`
`Petitioners now correctly note that an objecting party bears the burden of proof in
`
`an IPR, and that it must meet that burden with a thorough explanation of the
`
`objection. Moreover, according to Petitioners, a paralegal can provide sufficient
`
`testimony to overcome authentication and hearsay objections. These arguments
`
`highlight some of the problems with Weatherford’s and Baker Hughes’s
`
`authentication and hearsay objections. Accordingly, to the extent the Board
`
`overrules their hearsay and authentication objections that have been asserted
`
`without a detailed explanation or that are based on alleged deficiencies in the
`
`declarations offered by Rapid Completions, Rapid Completions withdraws the
`
`present motion.
