`
`Based on the record before us, Patent Owner’s request is granted.
`Each party will have thirty (30) minutes of total time to present arguments.
`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 10:00 AM Eastern Time, on May
`8, 2014, 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 CBS
`Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, 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.

`notified via a joint telephone conference call no later than two days prior to the
`hearing to discuss the matter.
