`
`
`The date set for oral hearing in these proceedings is May 24, 2016, if
`hearing is requested by either party and granted by the Board. IPR2015-
`00731, Paper 9; IPR2015-00739, Paper 8. Patent Owner requests oral
`hearing and Petitioner does not. IPR2015-00731, Papers 43, 44; IPR2015-
`00739, Papers 42, 43. Patent Owner’s request for oral hearing is granted.
`Each side will have forty (40) minutes, total, to present its argument in
`both cases. Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that Patent Owner’s
`claims at issue in these reviews are unpatentable and shall open the hearing.
`In light of the similarity in issues and evidence presented in both cases, the
`hearing shall proceed as follows. Petitioner will open the hearing by
`presenting its case regarding the challenged claims for which the Board
`instituted trial in both IPR2015-00731 and IPR2015-00739. After
`Petitioner’s presentation, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s argument
`with respect to both IPR2015-00731 and IPR2015-00739. Petitioner may
`reserve rebuttal time to respond to arguments presented by Patent Owner.
`The hearing will commence at 3:00 PM on May 24, 2016, on the ninth
`floor of the Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia.
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the reporter’s
`transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing. The hearing will
`be open to the public for in-person attendance that will be accommodated on
`a first-come, first-served basis. If the parties have any concern about
`disclosing confidential information, they are requested to contact the Board
`at least 10 days in advance of the hearing to discuss the matter.
`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 business days before the hearing date and filed no
`later than the time of the oral argument. 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 must file any objections to the demonstrative exhibits with
`the Board at least two business days before the hearing. Any objection to
`demonstrative exhibits that is not timely presented will be considered
`waived. The objections should identify with particularity which
`demonstrative exhibits 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,
`2015) (Paper 65), for guidance regarding the appropriate content of
`demonstrative exhibits.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person
`at the oral hearing. However, any counsel of record may present the party’s
`argument. If either party expects that its lead counsel will not be attending
`the oral argument, the parties should initiate a joint telephone conference
