`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner each requested oral hearing pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 35 and 36. The requests are granted. Oral arguments will
`
`commence at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, August 5, 2014, on the ninth
`
`floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00390
`Patent 8,195,415 B2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Each party will have forty-five (45) 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 Board will provide a court reporter, and the transcript shall constitute
`
`the official record of the hearing. The hearing will be open to the public for in-
`
`person attendance that will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served at least
`
`five business days before the hearing. The Board requests that such exhibits be
`
`filed at the Board at least five business days before the hearing. The parties must
`
`file any objections to the demonstratives with the Board at least two business days
`
`before the hearing. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits that is not timely
`
`presented will be considered waived. The objections should identify with
`
`particularity which demonstratives are subject to objection, and include a short
`
`(one sentence or less) statement of the reason for each objection. No argument or
`
`further explanation is permitted. The Board will consider the objections and
`
`schedule a conference if deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Board will reserve
`
`ruling on the objections until after the oral argument. The parties are directed to St.
`
`Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University
`
`of Michigan, IPR2013-00041 (PTAB January 27, 2014) (Paper 65), for guidance
`
`regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person at the
`
`oral hearing. Any counsel of record, however, may present the party’s argument.
`
`If either party anticipates that its lead counsel will not be attending the oral
`

`
`
`
`
`
`later than two business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the matter.
`
`Any special requests for audio visual equipment should be directed to
