`1.
`
`Exhibit 1018
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.65(b)
`
`Qualcomm objects to all portions of Exhibit 1018 that reference SPICE circuit
`
`simulations because Petitioner has not provided the affidavit required under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.65(b). Under this rule, “[i]f a party relies on a technical test or data from
`
`such a test, the party must provide an affidavit explaining: (1) Why the test or data
`
`is being used; (2) How the test was performed and the data was generated; (3) How
`
`the data is used to determine a value; (4) How the test is regarded in the relevant art;
`
`and (5) Any other information necessary for the Board to evaluate the test and data.”
`
`No such affidavit has been provided.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(1)(i)
`
`Qualcomm objects to all portions of Exhibit 1018 that reference SPICE circuit
`
`simulations because Petitioner has not provided the referenced SPICE circuit
`
`simulations as routine discovery required under 37 C.F.R. § 42.51(b)(1)(i). Under
`
`this rule, “any exhibit cited in a paper or in testimony must be served with the citing
`
`
`
`-i-
`
`
`
`paper or testimony.” Exhibit 1018 refers to SPICE circuit simulations, but Petitioner
`
`did not serve the referenced SPICE circuit simulations with the exhibit.
