`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO EVIDENCE PURSUANT TO
`37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1)
`
`
`
`

`

`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1), Petitioner AVX Corporation
`
`(“Petitioner”) submits the following objections to the evidence served by Patent
`
`Owner, Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd. (“Patent Owner”), in conjunction
`
`with Patent Owner’s Response (paper 16). These objections are timely, having
`
`been served within five business days of the service of the Patent Owner Response
`
`(Paper 16). 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1).

`Federal
`Rule(s) of
`Evidence
`401-403
`
`Objection
`
`The identified paragraphs are irrelevant and therefore
`inadmissible under FRE 401-403 because they are
`not cited or relied upon anywhere in Patent Owner’s
`Response, and accordingly, they do not make any
`fact of consequence in this proceeding more or less
`probable than it would be without them. Further,
`including these non-cited paragraphs in the
`proceeding is prejudicial to Petitioner as it expands
`the record without any indication of relevance or
`how Patent Owner may rely on this testimony in the
`future.
`
`802
`
`Declarant is relying on impermissible hearsay within
`testimony.

`Inadmissible hearsay, as the document appears to be

`has not had the opportunity to subject the
`declarant(s) to cross examination

`This exhibit post-dates the priority date of the ’381
