`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft Mobile, Inc. (collectively,
`“Petitioner”) and Global Touch Solutions, LLC (“Patent Owner”) each
`request an oral hearing in this proceeding pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70.
`Papers 15, 16. We grant the requests. A hearing will commence at
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01023
`Patent 8,035,623 B2
`
`10:00 AM Eastern Time on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, on the ninth floor
`of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, VA.
`Each party will have 30 minutes of argument time. Petitioner bears
`the ultimate burden of persuasion that the claims at issue are unpatentable.
`Therefore, Petitioner will open the hearing by presenting its case regarding
`the challenged claims for which the Board instituted trial. Patent Owner
`then will have the opportunity to respond to Petitioner’s arguments. Finally,
`Petitioner may use any time it has reserved for rebuttal to respond to
`arguments presented by Patent Owner. Patent Owner may not reserve
`rebuttal time.
`The Board will provide a court reporter, and the transcript shall
`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.
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits, if any, must
`be served on opposing counsel at least seven (7) business days before the
`hearing. The parties are directed to St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division,
`Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University of Michigan, IPR2013-00041,
`Paper 65 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014), regarding the appropriate content of
`demonstrative exhibits. The Board expects that the parties will meet and
`confer in good faith to resolve any objections to demonstrative exhibits, but
`if such objections cannot be resolved, the parties must file any objections to
`the demonstratives with the Board at least three (3) business days before the
`hearing. The objections should identify with particularity which portions of
`the demonstratives are subject to objection, and include a short (one
`sentence or less) statement of the reason for each objection. No argument or
`

`Patent 8,035,623 B2
`
`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. Any objection to the demonstrative
`exhibits that is not timely presented will be considered waived.
`Any demonstrative exhibits must be filed with the Board no later than
`three (3) business days before the hearing. A hard copy of the
`demonstratives should be provided to the court reporter at the hearing.
`At least one member of the panel will be attending the hearing
`remotely, by video and audio link. The parties are reminded that, during the
`hearing, the presenter must identify clearly each demonstrative exhibit (e.g.,
`by referencing a specific slide or screen number) to ensure clarity and
`accuracy of the reporter’s transcript and to ensure that a remote judge can
`follow the argument, even if the video connection is disrupted.
`Questions regarding specific audio-visual equipment should be
`directed to the Board at (571) 272-9797. Requests for audio-visual
`equipment must be made at least five (5) business days in advance of the
`hearing date. The request is to be sent to Trials@uspto.gov. If the request is
`not timely received, the equipment may not be available on the day of the
`hearing.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at the oral
`hearing, although any counsel of record may make the actual presentation.
`If either party anticipates that its lead counsel will not be in attendance at the
`oral hearing, the parties should initiate a joint telephone conference with the
`Board no later than five (5) business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss
`the matter.
