`
`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`
`
`Trial was instituted January 26, 2016 in IPR2015-01612. Paper 7. A
`Scheduling Order dated January 26, 2016 established that each party must
`file any request for oral argument pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 by “DUE
`DATE 3,” which was set as September 1, 2016. Paper 8. Neither party filed
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01612
`Patent 7,397,363 B2
`
`such a request, nor did the parties file any stipulation that extended the
`deadline for DUE DATE 3. Upon review of the record, the Board finds an
`oral hearing is not necessary.
`
`
`In consideration of the above, it is
`
`
`
`ORDERED that no oral hearing shall take place for IPR2015-01612.
