`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`1 IPR2015-01011 has been joined with this proceeding.
`2 IPR2015-01007 has been joined with this proceeding.
`3 IPR2015-01006 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`IPR2014-01366 (Patent 6,108,704 C1)
`IPR2014-01367 (Patent 6,009,469 C1)
`IPR2014-01368 (Patent 6,131,121 C1)
`
`
`In the Scheduling Order dated March 6, 2015 (Paper 13), oral
`
`argument was scheduled to be held on November 19, 2015, if requested by
`
`the parties. Petitioner has requested oral argument. Paper 36.4 The request
`
`is granted.
`
`Each party will have a total of 90 minutes of oral argument time for
`
`IPR2014-01366, IPR2014-01367, and IPR2014-01368, the 90 minutes to be
`
`divided among the three cases as desired. The oral argument will commence
`
`at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, on Thursday, November 19, 2015. The Board will
`
`provide a court reporter for the oral argument and the reporter’s transcript
`
`will constitute the official record of the oral argument. The hearing
`
`transcript will be entered in the record of this proceeding.
`
`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
`
`patent claims and grounds with respect to which the Board instituted trial.
`
`Petitioner may reserve some of its argument time for use in further
`
`presentation after Patent Owner has responded to Petitioner’s initial
`
`presentation.
`
`Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s initial presentation, having
`
`available to it the entirety of its allotted argument time. Thereafter,
`
`Petitioner may make use of the time it has reserved, to rebut Patent Owner’s
`
`presentation.
`
`
`4 All citations are to IPR2014-01366 unless otherwise noted. Petitioner has
`filed similar papers in IPR2014-01367 and IPR2014-01368, and, therefore,
`we only provide citations to IPR2014-01366 unless otherwise noted.

`The oral argument will be open to the public for in-person attendance,
`
`on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria,
`
`Virginia 22314. In-person attendance will be accommodated on a first-
`
`come, first-served basis.
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served
`
`five business days prior to the hearing. The parties also shall provide a
`
`courtesy copy of any demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least five
`
`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 initiate a
`
`conference call with the Board by two 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 two business days prior to the hearing will be considered
`
`waived.
`
`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. 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 the hearing,
`
`although backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in whole or in
`
`part. Requests for audio-visual equipment are to be made 5 days in advance
`
`of the hearing date by emailing the request to Trials@uspto.gov. If the
