`
`IPR2014-00785
`Patent 6,636,591 B1
`
`
`On October 9, 2014, we entered a Decision to Institute a trial in IPR2014-
`00785. Paper 10. A Scheduling Order set the date for oral hearing, if requested by
`either party, as June 3, 2015. Paper 11. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, both parties
`have requested oral hearing. Papers 27, 28. Petitioner’s and Patent Owner’s
`requests for oral hearing are granted.
`Oral argument for this proceeding will be held on June 3, 2015 on the ninth
`floor of Madison Building Eat, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. The
`hearing will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time and it will be open to the public
`for in-person attendance. In-person attendance will be accommodated on a first-
`come-first-served basis. If the parties have any concern about disclosing
`confidential information, they are to contact the Board at least 10 days in advance
`of the hearing to discuss the matter.
`Each party will have sixty (60) minutes of total time to present arguments.
`Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that the claims at issue are
`unpatentable. Therefore, Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with
`regard to the challenged claims and grounds on which we instituted trial in this
`proceeding and its Motion to Exclude. Patent Owner then will argue its opposition
`to Petitioner’s case and Petitioner’s Motion to Exclude. Each party may reserve
`rebuttal time.
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the reporter’s
`transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing.
`The parties are reminded that under 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(f)(7), a proponent of
`deposition testimony must file such testimony as an exhibit. The Board will not
`consider any deposition testimony that has not been so filed.
`Furthermore, under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be
`served at least five (5) business days before the hearing. The parties shall provide
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00785
`Patent 6,636,591 B1
`
` a
`
` courtesy copy of any demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least five (5)
`business days prior to the hearing by emailing them to Trials@uspto.gov. The
`parties shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in these proceedings without prior
`authorization from the Board.
`The parties must file any objections to the demonstratives with the Board at
`least three (3) business days before the hearing. Any objection to the
`demonstrative exhibits that is not presented timely 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 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 three (3)
`business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the matter.
`Any special requests for audio visual equipment should be directed to
`Trials@uspto.gov. Requests for special equipment will not be honored unless
`presented in a separate communication not less than five (5) days before the
`hearing directed to the above email address.

`
`
`At least one judge will be participating remotely via a videoconferencing
`device and will not be able to view the projection screen in the hearing room. 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 avoid confusion, and to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s
`transcript.
