`ORDER
`Revised Trial Hearing Date
`37C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`1 This Order addresses issues that are identical in related cases. Therefore,
`we exercise our discretion to issue one order to be filed in each case. The
`parties, however, are not authorized to use this style heading in any
`subsequent papers.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-00136; IPR2014-00139
`Patent 7,188,145 B2; 7,730,262 B2
`
`
`
`On January 6, 2014, we entered an order scheduling a consolidated trial
`hearing in IPR2014-00136 and IPR2014-00139. Due to a medical emergency, lead
`counsel for Parallel Networks LLC (“Patent Owner”) has requested that the
`hearing be delayed until at least February 23, 2015. Reloaded Games, Inc.
`(“Petitioner”) does not object. Therefore, the hearing set for February 12, 2015 is
`being rescheduled.
`Specifically, the hearing will commence at 1:30 PM ET, on February 23,
`2015, 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 serve basis.
`As we indicated in our previous order, we will conduct a consolidated
`hearing during which each party will have 60 minutes of total argument time. At
`oral hearing Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with regard to the
`challenged claims on which basis we instituted trial. Thereafter, Patent Owner will
`argue its opposition to Petitioner’s case. Petitioner may then use any time
`Petitioner reserved to rebut Patent Owner’s opposition. There are no motions to
`amend or other issues to be argued at the hearing.
`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)The parties have already submitted their demonstrative exhibits. No
`further demonstrative exhibits may be submitted.
`The parties are reminded that questions regarding specific audio-visual
`equipment should be directed to the Board at (571) 272-9797. 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

`
`Case IPR2014-00136; IPR2014-00139
`Patent 7,188,145 B2; 7,730,262 B2
`
`received timely, the equipment may not be available on the day of the hearing.
`The parties are reminded that the presenter must identify clearly and specifically
`each demonstrative exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen number) referenced during the
`hearing to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s transcript.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person at the
`oral hearing. However, lead or backup counsel may present the party’s argument.
`If either party anticipates that its lead counsel will not be attending the oral
`argument, the parties should initiate a joint telephone conference with the Board no
`later than two business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the matter.
