`
`Both parties request a hearing in this case pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.70. The requests are granted.
`Each party will have thirty (30) minutes total time to present
`arguments for the case. Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with
`respect to the challenged claims and grounds for which the Board instituted
`trial. Thereafter, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s presentation.
`Petitioner may reserve rebuttal time to respond to Patent Owner’s
`presentation.
`The hearing will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, on July 20,
`2016, and it 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
`five business days prior to the hearing. They shall be filed at the Board two
`business days prior to the hearing, and 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 directed to CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent

`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.
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at
`hearing, although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in
`whole or in part. If any lead counsel will not be in attendance at hearing, the
`Board should be notified via a joint telephone conference call no later than
`two days prior to the hearing to discuss the matter.
