`are unauthorized and shall be expunged from the record. In particular, the

`response to a request for rehearing absent a request from the Board.” Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,768 (Aug. 14, 2012).
`Additionally, we instructed the parties that they “shall not file any
`demonstrative exhibits in this case without prior authorization from the
`Board.” Paper 16, 2–3.

`from the record of this proceeding. 37 C.F.R. § 42.7(a).
