`
`PETITIONER’S OBJECTIONS TO PATENT OWNERS’ EVIDENCE
`SUBMITTED WITH PATENT OWNERS’
`MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY
`
`
`
`
`
`
` IPR2021-01137
`Patent No. 10,487,106
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1) and the Federal Rules of Evidence
`
`(“FRE”), Petitioner Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sarepta”) submits the following
`
`objections to certain exhibits submitted with Patent Owners’ Motion for Additional
`
`Discovery (Paper 22). Sarepta’s objections apply equally to Patent Owners’ reliance
`
`on these exhibits in any subsequently filed documents. These objections are timely
`
`filed and served within five business days of service. 37 C.F.R. § 42.64(b)(1).
`
`Exhibit 2054
`
`To the extent Patent Owners rely on the content of Exhibit 2054 for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2054 as inadmissible hearsay (see
`
`FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, and 807. Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2054 because it lacks proper foundation or
`
`authenticity under FRE 901.
`
`In addition, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2054 under FRE 401-403 as lacking
`
`relevance to the instituted grounds and as a document from a different forum.
`
`Because Exhibit 2054 does not reflect any knowledge of one skilled in the art at the
`
`time of the alleged invention, this exhibit does not make any fact more or less
`
`probable than it would be without this exhibit. Moreover, Exhibit 2054 is unfairly
`
`prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads the factfinder, and/or is a waste of time.

`Patent No. 10,487,106
`
`Exhibit 2055
`
`To the extent Patent Owners rely on the content of Exhibit 2055 for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2055 as inadmissible hearsay (see
`
`FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, and 807. Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2055 because it lacks proper foundation or
`
`authenticity under FRE 901.
`
`In addition, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2055 under FRE 401-403 as lacking
`
`relevance to the instituted grounds. Because Exhibit 2055 does not reflect any
`
`knowledge of one skilled in the art at the time of the alleged invention, this exhibit
`
`does not make any fact more or less probable than it would be without this exhibit.
`
`Moreover, Exhibit 2055 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads the
`
`factfinder, and/or is a waste of time.
`
`Sarepta also objects to Exhibit 2055, which is a chart cited in the Motion (Mot.
`
`2), because the Motion does not include this chart and its inclusion would cause the
`
`Motion to exceed the permitted page limit. Accordingly, Exhibit 2055 is not properly
`
`relied upon by Patent Owners.
`
`Exhibit 2056
`
`To the extent Patent Owners rely on the content of Exhibit 2056 for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2056 as inadmissible hearsay (see
`
`FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803, 804,
`
`2
`
`
`
` IPR2021-01137
`Patent No. 10,487,106
`805, and 807. Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2056 because it lacks proper foundation or
`
`authenticity under FRE 901.
`
`In addition, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2056 under FRE 401-403 as lacking
`
`relevance to the instituted grounds. Because Exhibit 2056 does not reflect any
`
`knowledge of one skilled in the art at the time of the alleged invention, this exhibit
`
`does not make any fact more or less probable than it would be without this exhibit.
`
`Moreover, Exhibit 2056 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads the
`
`factfinder, and/or is a waste of time.
`
`Exhibit 2057
`
`Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2057 because it lacks proper foundation or
`
`authenticity under FRE 901.
`
`In addition, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2057 under FRE 401-403 as lacking
`
`relevance to the instituted grounds. Because Exhibit 2057 does not reflect any
`
`knowledge of one skilled in the art at the time of the alleged invention, this exhibit
`
`does not make any fact more or less probable than it would be without this exhibit.
`
`Moreover, Exhibit 2057 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads the
`
`factfinder, and/or is a waste of time.
`
`Exhibit 2058
`
`To the extent Patent Owners rely on the content of Exhibit 2058 for the truth
`
`of the matter asserted, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2058 as inadmissible hearsay (see
`
`3
`
`
`
` IPR2021-01137
`Patent No. 10,487,106
`FRE 801 and 802) that does not fall under any exceptions, including FRE 803, 804,
`
`805, and 807. Sarepta further objects to Exhibit 2058 because it lacks proper
`
`foundation or authenticity under FRE 901.
`
`In addition, Sarepta objects to Exhibit 2058 under FRE 401-403 as lacking
`
`relevance to the instituted grounds. Because Exhibit 2058 does not reflect any
`
`knowledge of one skilled in the art at the time of the alleged invention, this exhibit
`
`does not make any fact more or less probable than it would be without this exhibit.
`
`Moreover, Exhibit 2058 is unfairly prejudicial, confuses the issues, misleads the
`
`factfinder, and/or is a waste of time.
