`ORDER
`Oral Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01330
`Patent 8,310,993 B2
`
`On February 23, 2015, we instituted the above-identified inter partes
`
`reviews. Paper 8. Both parties requested an oral hearing pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 23 and 24. The parties’ requests are granted. Each
`
`party will have one hour of total time to present its arguments. The hearing
`
`will commence at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, on November 18, 2015.
`
`At the oral hearing, Petitioner will proceed first to present its case as
`
`to the challenged claims and grounds the Board instituted trial. Thereafter,
`
`Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s case. Petitioner may reserve some
`
`of its argument time for use in rebuttal of Patent Owner’s presentation after
`
`Patent Owner has responded to Petitioner’s initial presentation on all
`
`matters.
`
`
`
`The hearing 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 no
`
`later than five business days before the hearing. They shall be filed with the
`
`Board no later than three business days prior to the hearing. The parties
`
`must initiate a conference call with the 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 St. Jude Medical,
`
`Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University of

`
`Michigan, IPR2013-00041 (PTAB January 27, 2014) (Paper 65) and CBS
`
`Interactive Inc., v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, Case IPR2013-00033
`
`(PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper 118).
`
`The parties also should note that at least one member of the panel will
`
`be attending the hearing electronically from a remote location and that if a
`
`demonstrative is not filed or otherwise made fully available or visible to the
`
`judge presiding over the hearing remotely, that demonstrative will not be
`
`considered. If the parties have questions as to whether demonstrative
`
`exhibits would be sufficiently visible and available to all of the judges, the
`
`parties are invited to contact the Board at (571) 272-9797.
`
`
`
`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 is unable to attend the oral
`
`argument, 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 at least five
`
`business days in advance of the hearing date by sending the request to
`
`Trials@uspto.gov. If the request is not received timely, the equipment may
`
`not be available on the day of the hearing.
