`
`PATENT OWNER’S OBJECTIONS TO PETITIONER’S EVIDENCE
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`April 5, 2023
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Patent Owner objects to paragraphs 22–
`
`30, 38–53, 55, 66, and 88 of Dr. Neumann’s declaration (Exhibit 1005), because
`
`the Petition does not reference those paragraphs in any manner. As Petitioner itself
`
`has deemed those portions to be irrelevant to the issues raised in the Petition, the
`
`Board should ignore them under Federal Rules of Evidence (“FRE”) 401 and 402.
`
`For similar reasons, Patent Owner objects to Exhibit 1006 (Neumann CV),
`
`Exhibit 1012 (U.S. Patent No. 5,307,289), Exhibit 1015 (Carlson), Exhibit 1017
`
`(Barfield), Exhibit 1020 (Welch declaration), Exhibit 1022 (U.S. Patent
`
`No. 5,807,284), Exhibit 1023 (Patent No. 5,991,085), Exhibit 1024 (Chen), Exhibit
`
`1025 (Hoff), Exhibit 1026 (Zetu), Exhibit 1027 (Chen declaration), Exhibit 1028
`
`(Hoff declaration), Exhibit 1029 (Zetu declaration), and Exhibit 1030 (U.S. Patent
`
`No. 5,592,401) because Petitioner does not rely on those exhibits in its Petition. In
`
`fact, Petitioner does not even reference those exhibits, save in its table of exhibits.
`
`Because Petitioner itself deemed those documents to be irrelevant to the issues raised
`
`in the Petition, the Board should ignore them as well under FRE 401 and 402.
`
`Patent Owner also objects to Exhibits 1006, 1012, 1015, 1017, 1020, 1022,
`
`1023, 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, and 1030 under 37 C.F.R. § 42.123 to
`
`the extent Petitioner listed those documents in its Petition, but did not reference
`
`them, in an attempt to later circumvent the rule requiring prior Board approval before
`
`submitting supplemental information.
