`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
` 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(10)
`
`
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner request a hearing pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`in this case. The requests are granted.
`Each party will have sixty (30) minutes of total time to present arguments.

`Patent 6,587,067 C1
`
`
`
`Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with respect to the challenged claims
`and grounds for which the Board instituted trial. Thereafter, Patent Owner will
`respond to Petitioner’s presentation. Petitioner may reserve rebuttal time to
`respond to Patent Owner’s presentation.
`The hearing for this case will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, on April
`8, 2014,1 and it will be open to the public for in-person attendance, on the ninth
`floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. In-
`person attendance will be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the reporter’s
`transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing.
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served five
`business days prior to the hearing. They shall be filed at the Board two business
`days prior to the hearing, and the parties must initiate a conference call with the
`Board by two business days prior to the hearing to resolve any dispute over the
`propriety of each party’s demonstrative exhibits. The parties are directed to
`IPR2013-00033, Paper 118 (October 23, 2013) regarding the appropriate content
`of demonstrative exhibits.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at hearing,
`although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in whole or in part.
`If any lead counsel will not be in attendance at hearing, the Board should be
`notified via a joint telephone conference call no later than two days prior to the
`hearing to discuss the matter.
`
`
`1 The April 8, 2014 hearing date was set per a scheduling order on July 16, 2013.
`Paper 14. In its request for hearing, Patent Owner states that the “Board had
`scheduled the oral hearing for April 7, 2014.” Paper 23. The Board understands
`the statement to be a typographical error and not a request that the hearing take
`place on April 7, 2014.
