`ORDER
`Oral Argument
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`1 This order addresses an issue applicable to each of these cases. We
`exercise our discretion to issue one order to be entered in each case.
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01584 (Patent 6,029,052)
`IPR2015-01600 (Patent 6,029,052)
`
`
`The date set for oral argument in the two captioned proceedings is
`
`October 26, 2016, if oral argument is requested by either party and granted
`
`by the Board. Paper 8.2 Both parties have requested oral argument pursuant
`
`to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 in each case, and Petitioner requested that the oral
`
`arguments for both cases be combined into a single session. Paper 59, 1.
`
`The requests are granted.
`
`A single oral argument will be held for both cases and will commence
`
`at 10:00 AM ET on October 26, 2016. The oral argument will be
`
`conducted on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street,
`
`Alexandria, Virginia 22314. The oral argument will be open to the public
`
`for in-person attendance, which will be accommodated on a first-come, first-
`
`served basis. 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 transcript will be entered in both cases. Each party will have
`
`a total of 60 minutes to present arguments. Because Petitioner bears the
`
`ultimate burden of persuasion that the claims at issue are unpatentable,
`
`Petitioner will begin the oral argument by presenting its case regarding the
`
`claims at issue in both cases. Thereafter, Patent Owner will argue its
`
`opposition to Petitioner’s case. Patent Owner also may argue in support of
`
`its Motions to Exclude Evidence, as Patent Owner bears the burden of proof
`
`on those motions. Petitioner may reserve time to rebut Patent Owner’s
`
`opposition and to oppose Patent Owner’s Motions to Exclude Evidence.
`
`Finally, Patent Owner may reserve time solely to rebut Petitioner’s
`
`opposition to Patent Owner’s Motions to Exclude.
`
`
`2 We refer to the papers filed in IPR2015-01584.

`IPR2015-01600 (Patent 6,029,052)
`
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served at
`
`least seven business days before the oral argument. The parties shall file the
`
`demonstrative exhibits at least two business days before the oral argument.
`
`We expect that the parties will meet and confer in good faith to resolve all
`
`objections to demonstrative exhibits, but if such objections cannot be
`
`resolved, the parties may file objections to demonstrative exhibits with the
`
`Board at least two business days before the oral argument. Any objection
`
`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 may refer to CBS Interactive Inc. v.
`
`Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033 (PTAB October 23, 2013)
`
`(Paper 118), and St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Div., Inc. v. The Board of
`
`Regents of the University of Michigan, IPR2013-00041 (PTAB Jan. 27,
`
`2014) (Paper 65) regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative
`
`exhibits.
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at the oral
`
`argument, although backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in
`
`whole or in part. If any lead counsel will not be in attendance at the oral
`
`argument, the Board should be notified via a joint telephone conference call
`
`no later than two days prior to the oral argument to discuss the matter.
`
`Any requests for audio-visual equipment must be emailed to
`
`Trials@uspto.gov at least two days before the oral argument. The

`IPR2015-01584 (Patent 6,029,052)
`IPR2015-01600 (Patent 6,029,052)
`
`parties are reminded that the presenter must identify clearly and specifically
`
`each demonstrative exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen number) referenced
`
`during the oral argument to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s
`
`transcript.
