`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`
`
`ZTE (USA) INC.,
`Petitioner,
`
`v.
`
`BELL NORTHERN RESEARCH, LLC,
`Patent Owner.

`
`
`
`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO PATENT OWNER’S EVIDENCE
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(B)(1)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner ZTE (USA) Inc. objects pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) to
`
`exhibits served in conjunction with Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response (Paper
`
`8). The exhibits objected to, and grounds for Petitioner’s objections are listed
`
`below. Petitioner also objects to Patent Owner’s reliance or citation to any
`
`objected evidence in its papers. Accordingly, Petitioner timely objects under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) by filing and serving this Paper before the deadline of ten
`
`(10) business days of the institution of the trial.
`
`I.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF CHALLENGED EVIDENCE AND GROUNDS
`FOR OBJECTION
`Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response relies on the expert declaration of
`
`Dr. Horenstein (Ex. 2017). Petitioner objects to Exhibit 2017 because Dr.
`
`Horenstein’s current declaration is in the form of unsworn testimony in violation
`
`of Board rules. 37 C.F.R. § 42.2; Apple Inc. v. Evolved Wireless LLC, IPR2016-
`
`01229, Paper 27 at 10-11 (PTAB Nov. 30, 2017).
`
`II. CONCLUSION
`
`To the extent that Patent Owner fails to correct the defects identified above,
`
`Petitioner may file a motion to exclude under 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(c).
