`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 The Board is entering this Order in each proceeding. The parties are not
`authorized to use a caption identifying multiple proceedings.
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01984 (Patent 8,434,020 B2)
`IPR2015-01985 (Patent 8,713,476 B2)
`
`
`Petitioner and Patent Owner requested hearings for each of the above
`
`proceedings pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), and further requested that the
`
`hearings be consolidated due to the significant overlap of issues between the cases.
`
`See IPR2015-01984, Papers 27, 28; IPR2015-01985, Papers 28, 32. The requests
`
`are granted.
`
`These proceedings will be heard in the afternoon of December 14, 2016,
`
`beginning at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Given the overlap in these two
`
`proceedings, each party will have 45 minutes of total argument time. Each side
`
`will present arguments for both proceedings during the allotted time, and
`
`statements made in the consolidated hearing will be deemed applicable to
`
`whichever case or cases the underlying record of which supports the assertion.
`
`Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that the claims at issue in this review
`
`are unpatentable. Therefore, Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with
`
`regard to the challenged claims on which basis we instituted trial. Thereafter,
`
`Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s case and present any arguments in
`
`support of its motion to exclude.
`
`After that, Petitioner will make use of the rest of its time responding to
`
`Patent Owner. There are no motions to amend to be addressed at the hearing.
`
`Also, new arguments not previously presented in the parties’ substantive papers in
`
`this proceeding should not be raised at oral hearing.
`
`The hearings 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 hearings, and the reporter’s transcripts
`
`will constitute the official record of the hearings.

`IPR2015-01985 (Patent 8,713,476 B2)
`
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served seven
`
`business days prior to the hearings. The parties shall confer with each other
`
`regarding any objections to demonstrative exhibits in each proceeding, and file
`
`demonstrative exhibits with the Board at least two business days prior to the
`
`hearing. For any issue that cannot be resolved after conferring with the opposing
`
`party, the parties may file jointly a one-page list of objections at least two business
`
`days prior to the hearing. The list should identify with particularity which
`
`demonstrative exhibits are subject to objection and include a short statement (no
`
`more than one sentence) of the reason for each objection. No argument or further
`
`explanation is permitted. We will consider the objections and schedule a
`
`conference call if necessary. Otherwise, we will reserve ruling on the objections
`
`until the hearing. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits that is not presented
`
`timely will be considered waived.
`
`The parties are directed to CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent
`
`Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033, slip op. at 2–5 (PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper
`
`118), regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits. 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
`
`hearings to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s transcripts. The parties
`
`also should note that at least one member of the panel will be attending the oral
`
`argument electronically from a remote location and that if any demonstrative is not
`
`made fully available or visible to the judge presiding over the oral argument, that
`
`demonstrative will not be considered. Because of limitations of the audio
`
`transmission systems in our hearing rooms, the presenter may speak only when
`
`standing at the hearing room lectern.

`
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for Petitioners and Patent Owner to be
`
`present at the hearings, although any back-up counsel may make the actual
`
`presentation, in whole or in part. If lead counsel for a party will not be in
`
`attendance at the hearings, the Board should be notified via a joint conference call
`
`no later than two days prior to the hearings to discuss the matter.
`
`Requests for audio-visual equipment at the hearings are to be made five days
`
`in advance of the hearing date. The requests must be sent to Trials@uspto.gov. If
`
`the requests are not received timely, equipment may not be available on the day of
`
`the hearings. Further, if the parties have questions as to whether demonstrative
`
`exhibits would be sufficiently visible and available to all of the judges, the parties
`
`are invited to contact the Board at 571-272-9797.
`
`ORDER
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that the parties shall take note of the above information about
`
`oral hearing to be held on December 14, 2016.
