`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00483
`Patent 8,014,917 B2
`
`
`In the Scheduling Order dated February 4, 2014 (Paper 10), oral argument
`
`was scheduled to be held on August 27, 2014, if requested by the parties. On
`
`July 24, 2014, both Petitioner and Patent Owner requested oral argument.
`
`Papers 28, 29. The requests are granted.
`
`Each party will have 60 minutes of oral argument time. The oral argument
`
`will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, on Wednesday, August 27, 2014. The
`
`Board will provide a court reporter for the oral argument and the reporter’s
`
`transcript will constitute the official record of the oral argument. The hearing
`
`transcript will be entered in the record of this proceeding.
`
`Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that Patent Owner’s patent
`
`claims at issue are unpatentable. Therefore, at oral argument, Petitioner will
`
`proceed first to present its case with respect to the challenged patent claims and
`
`grounds with respect to which the Board instituted trial. Petitioner may reserve
`
`some of its argument time for use in further presentation after Patent Owner has
`
`responded to Petitioner’s initial presentation.
`
`Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s initial presentation, having
`
`available to it the entirety of its allotted argument time. Thereafter, Petitioner may
`
`make use of the time it has reserved, to rebut Patent Owner’s presentation.
`
`The oral argument will be open to the public for in-person attendance, on the
`
`ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia
`
`22314. In-person attendance will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served
`
`basis. At least one member of the panel will be attending the oral argument
`
`remotely by use of two-way audio-visual communication equipment.
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served five
`
`business days before the hearing. They shall be filed with the Board three business
`
`days prior to the hearing and the parties must initiate a conference call with the
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case IPR2013-00483
`Patent 8,014,917 B2
`
`
`Board at least two business days prior to the hearing to resolve any dispute over the
`
`propriety of each party’s demonstrative exhibits. For guidance on what constitutes
`
`an appropriate demonstrative exhibit, the parties are directed to Paper 118 in CBS
`
`Interactive Inc. v. Wireless Sciences LLC, IPR2013-00033 (PTAB October 23,
`
`2013). No live testimony from any witness will be taken at the oral argument.
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at oral hearing,
`
`although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in whole or in part.
`
`If lead counsel for either party will not be in attendance at oral hearing, the Board
`
`should be notified via a joint telephone conference call no later than two business
`
`days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the matter.
`
`Requests for audio-visual equipment are to be made 5 days in advance of the
`
`hearing date. The request is to be sent to Trials@uspto.gov. If the request is not
`
`received timely, the equipment may not be available on the day of the hearing.
