`
`
`The Scheduling Order for this case set the date for oral argument on
`April 24, 2015, if oral argument is requested by the parties and granted by
`the Board. Paper 17. Petitioner and Patent Owner both requested oral
`argument. Papers 36, 37. Patent Owner also requested that oral argument
`for this case be consolidated with that for IPR2014-00518. Paper 37.
`The parties’ requests for oral argument are granted.
`A consolidated oral argument will be held for IPR2014-00518 and
`IPR2014-00519. Any argument made by a party at the consolidated oral
`argument will be useable only in a proceeding in which the record provides a
`proper foundation for making the argument.
`Each party will have ninety (90) minutes of total time to present
`arguments for the two proceedings. 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 claims and grounds with respect to which the
`Board instituted trial in IPR2014-00518 and IPR2014-00519. Petitioner
`may reserve some of its argument time for rebuttal.
`Thereafter, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s presentation,
`having available to it the entirety of its allotted argument time. Finally,
`Petitioner may make use of the time it has reserved to rebut Patent Owner’s
`opposing presentation with regard to the challenged patent claims.
`The oral argument will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time on April
`24, 2015, and 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 three
`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 at least one business days prior to the hearing to resolve
`any dispute over the propriety of each party’s demonstrative exhibits. Any
`dispute over the propriety of demonstrative exhibits that is not timely
`presented will be considered waived. 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.
`
`If any evidence is confidential or under seal, counsel for each party
`shall be mindful not to, at oral argument, reveal such confidential or sealed
`information. Instead, the counsel for the parties shall make reference to such
`information without actually disclosing the information. If either party
`objects to this manner of handling confidential or sealed information at oral
`argument, it shall initiate a joint conference call with the Board at least three
`business days prior to the date of oral argument, to discuss the matter.
`
`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 received
`timely, the equipment may not be available on the day of the hearing.
`At least one member of the panel will be attending the oral argument
`remotely via electronic audio/visual communication equipment. The Board
`
`3
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00519
`Patent 8,023,580 B2
`
`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 three business
`days prior to the hearing to discuss the matter.
