`Petitioner,
`
`v.
`
`NETLIST, INC.,
`Patent Owner.
`
`Case IPR2022-00996
`Patent 11,016,918
`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO PATENT OWNER’S EVIDENCE
`SUBMITTED WITH PATENT OWNER’S RESPONSE
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner Samsung Electronics Co.,
`
`Ltd. (“Samsung”) objects to the following exhibits filed by Patent Owner Netlist,
`
`Inc. (“Netlist”) with its Response (Paper No. 21).
`
`Exhibit
`EX2030 – 2023-03-
`16 Deposition
`Transcript by Dr.
`Andrew Wolfe (with
`Errata)
`EX2031 –
`Declaration of Dr.
`William Henry
`Mangione-Smith
`
`Objection(s)
`Samsung objects to EX2030 for each of the reasons noted
`in the objections made during the taking of the underlying
`deposition.
`
`602/702/703: Patent Owner has not established that Dr.
`Mangione-Smith is an expert in the area of standardized
`DRAM and SDRAM memory devices and memory
`modules, and structure and operation of circuitry for
`computer memories at the relevant timeframe, and Patent
`Owner has not met its burden to show that his testimony
`on this issue is helpful to the Board and therefore
`admissible. See, e.g., EX2031, ¶¶ 5-8.
`
`801/802/901: Samsung further objects to EX2031 to the
`extent it cites to and incorporates evidence that has not
`been authenticated and/or incorporates hearsay. See, e.g.,
`EX2031, ¶¶ 33-34, 53, 59, 60, 65, 67, 72, 73, 82, 89-91,
`93, n.3, 95, 96, n.4, 98, 99, 102, 103, 110, 117, 122-125,
`128-130, 132-133, 150, 151.
`

`
`
`
`Exhibit
`EX2035 – Netlist
`Presentation
`(excerpt)
`
`Objection(s)
`401-403: EX2035 is irrelevant, cumulative, misleading,
`or confusing, and its probative value, if any, is
`outweighed by prejudice. Patent Owner cites this exhibit
`in connection with a discussion of the location of backup
`battery connections/connection to external voltage
`sources for DIMM (see POR at p. 5) but has failed to
`establish any connection to the disclosure of the ’918
`Patent. For example, the date on the face of this
`document is 2012, which is several years after the earliest
`possible relevant date for the claims of June 2, 2008.
`
`801/802/901/1002/1003: Samsung objects to EX2035 for
`lacking authentication, lacking foundation, for containing
`hearsay, and/or causing undue prejudice. For example,
`Netlist has neither authenticated this exhibit, nor laid the
`foundation for any hearsay exception. Samsung further
`objects to this exhibit because Patent Owner has not
`shown that it is an original document or authentic
`duplicate.
`
`106: Samsung objects to EX2035 as only an excerpt was
`provided, and thus it is further misleading and/or
`confusing given that the context of the excerpt is not
`present and has not been made available to Petitioner’s
`counsel.

`Objection(s)
`401-403: EX2036 is dated 2014, and thus it is not
`relevant in light of the alleged priority date of either June
`1, 2007 or June 2, 2008. In any event, EX2036 is
`irrelevant, cumulative, misleading, or confusing, and its
`probative value, if any, is outweighed by prejudice.
`Patent Owner cites this exhibit in connection with a
`discussion of the location of backup battery
`connections/connection to external voltage sources for
`DIMM (see POR at p. 5) but has failed to establish any
`connection to the disclosure of the ’918 Patent.
`
`801/802/901/1002/1003: Samsung objects to EX2036 for
`lacking authentication, lacking foundation, for containing
`hearsay, and/or causing undue prejudice. For example,
`Netlist has neither authenticated this exhibit, nor laid the
`foundation for any hearsay exception. Samsung further
`objects to this exhibit because Patent Owner has not
`shown that it is an original document or authentic
`duplicate.
`
`401-403: EX2037 is irrelevant, cumulative, misleading,
`or confusing, and its probative value, if any, is
`outweighed by prejudice. Patent Owner cites this exhibit
`in connection with a discussion of regulated voltages (see
`POR at p. 6) but has failed to establish any connection to
`the disclosure of the ’918 Patent.
`
`801/802/901/1002/1003: Samsung objects to EX2037 for

`801/802/901/1002/1003: Samsung objects to EX2054 for
`lacking authentication, lacking foundation, for containing
`hearsay, and/or causing undue prejudice. For example,
`Netlist has neither authenticated this exhibit, nor laid the
`foundation for any hearsay exception. Samsung further
`objects to this exhibit because Patent Owner has not
`shown that it is an original document or authentic
`duplicate.
`401-403: EX2055 is dated 2011, and thus it is unclear
`that it is relevant in light of the alleged priority date of
`either June 1, 2007 or June 2, 2008. In any event,
`EX2055 is irrelevant, cumulative, misleading, or
`confusing, and its probative value, if any, is outweighed
`by prejudice. Patent Owner cites this exhibit in
`connection with a discussion of buck converters and VTT
`(see POR at p. 28) but has failed to establish any
`connection to the disclosure of the ’918 Patent.

`
`
`
`Objection(s)
`Samsung objects to EX2056 for each of the reasons noted
`in the objections during the taking of the underlying
`deposition.
`
`401-403/801-802: Samsung objects to EX2056 for
`lacking relevance and undue prejudice, and for being
`hearsay. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.62(a); Fed. R. Evid. 401-03,
`801-04. In particular, Netlist has failed to establish how a
`deposition from a different IPR involving different prior
`art combinations and a different patent with a different
`priority date and different claim language is relevant to
`the issues here, and why its probative value, if any, is not
`substantially outweighed by unfair prejudice, confusion
`of the issues, and wasting time. Netlist has also failed to
`establish how this transcript is admissible under the rule
`against hearsay. For example, Netlist has failed to show
`that Samsung had a “similar motive to develop [the
`deposition testimony with respect to issues relevant to
`this IPR] by direct, cross-, or redirect examination.” Fed.
`R. Evid. 804(b)(1)(B). Furthermore, the transcript is
`defective, and thus inadmissible, under 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.53(f)(5)-(6).
`
`401-403: EX2057 is irrelevant because Patent Owner
`does not cite this exhibit in its Response or in any of the
`expert declarations.

`
`Objection(s)
`37 CFR § 42.6(a)(3): Samsung objects to EX2058 as
`improperly incorporating by reference arguments in the
`expert report into the papers. See 3M Company v.
`Evergreen Adhesives, Inc., No. 2020-1738 (Fed. Cir. June
`25, 2021) (stating that the Board was correct in excluding
`evidence offered by 3M’s expert since the reference to
`expert testimony was “an attempt to introduce argument
`by citation”). Patent Owner cites to a paragraph in the
`expert declaration that cites to EX2058 (EX2031 at ¶59)
`but does not cite to EX2058 directly (see POR p.5).
`
`401-403: EX2058 is irrelevant because Patent Owner
`does not cite this exhibit in its Response.

`n.4) but does not cite to EX2058 directly (see POR p.28).
`
`401-403: EX2059 is irrelevant because Patent Owner
`does not cite this exhibit in its Response.
`
`801/802/901/1002/1003: Samsung objects to EX2059 for
`lacking authentication, lacking foundation, for containing
`hearsay, and/or causing undue prejudice. For example,
`Netlist has neither authenticated this exhibit, nor laid the
`foundation for any hearsay exception. Samsung further
`objects to this exhibit because Patent Owner has not

`
`
`
`Objection(s)
`Samsung objects to EX2101 for each of the reasons noted
`in the objections made during the taking of the related
`deposition.
`
`401-403: EX2101 is irrelevant, cumulative, misleading,
`or confusing, and its probative value, if any, is
`outweighed by prejudice. Patent Owner cites this exhibit
`in connection with a discussion of FBDIMM spacing (see
`POR at p. 12, 19, 36) but has failed to establish any
`connection to the disclosure of the ’918 Patent.
`
`801/802/901/1002/1003: Samsung objects to EX2101 for
