`
`
`The Scheduling Order for this case sets the date for the oral hearing as
`August 26, 2015. Paper 17, 6. Each party requested an oral hearing
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Paper 45; Paper 47. The parties’ requests for
`an oral hearing are granted.
`Please note the time and location of the hearing. The hearing will
`commence at 4:00 PM CT on August 26, 2015, in the Belo Mansion, 2101
`Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas. The hearing will be open to the public as part
`of the August 26, 2015, AIPLA-USPTO Roadshow to be held in Dallas.
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing, and the reporter’s
`transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing.
`Each party will have a total of thirty (30) minutes to present any
`arguments relating to this case. Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof
`that the claims under review in this case are unpatentable. Therefore,
`Petitioner will proceed first, and Patent Owner will follow. Petitioner may
`then use any time Petitioner reserved for rebuttal. The parties are reminded
`that the presenter must identify clearly and specifically any demonstrative
`exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen number) referenced during the hearing to
`ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s transcript and the ability of
`all judges to follow the presenter’s arguments.
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), the parties shall serve any demonstrative
`exhibits upon each other at least five (5) business days prior to the hearing.
`The parties also shall provide the demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least
`two (2) business days prior to the hearing by emailing them to
`Trials@uspto.gov. The parties shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in
`this case without prior authorization. The parties are directed to St. Jude
`Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University

`Patent 7,941,174 B2
`
`of Michigan, Case IPR2013-00041, slip op. at 2–5 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014)
`(Paper 65), and CBS Interactive Inc., v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC,
`Case IPR2013-00033, slip op. at 2–4 (PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper 118), for
`guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`The Board expects the parties will meet and confer in good faith to
`resolve any objections to demonstrative exhibits. If such objections cannot
`be resolved, the parties must initiate a conference call with the Board at least
`two (2) business days prior to the hearing to resolve any objections to
`demonstrative exhibits. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits that are not
`timely presented at least two (2) business days prior to the hearing will be
`considered waived.
`We expect lead counsel for each party to be present in person at the
`hearing. Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,758
`(Aug. 14, 2012). However, any counsel of record may present the party’s
`arguments. If either party anticipates that its lead counsel will not attend the
`hearing, the parties shall request and make themselves available for a
`conference call with the Board to occur no later than two (2) business days
`prior to the hearing to discuss the reasons for that lead counsel’s absence.
`A projector will be available for the parties to use. Any special
`requests for additional audio visual equipment should be directed to
`Trials@uspto.gov. Requests for special equipment will not be honored
`unless presented in a separate communication directed to the identified email
`address not less than two (2) weeks prior to the hearing.
