`
`ORDER GRANTING REQUESTS FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00193
`Patent 7,241,034 C1
`
`
`On January 19, 2017, Petitioner and Patent Owner filed requests for
`
`oral argument in the above-captioned proceeding. Papers 22, 23. Patent
`
`Owner requested one hour per side of oral argument. Paper 23, 2. Petitioner
`
`requested that each side be allotted no more than one hour for oral argument.
`
`Paper 22, 2.
`
`The parties’ requests for oral argument are granted. Due to a
`
`scheduling conflict, the oral hearing has been rescheduled for the morning
`
`of February 23, 2017. The hearing will commence at 10:00 AM on
`
`February 23, 2017, on the ninth floor of Madison Building East,
`
`600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. The hearing will be open to the
`
`public. 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.
`
`Each party will have 50 minutes of total time to present arguments.
`
`Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof, and thus will proceed first to
`
`present its arguments as to the challenged claims. Petitioner may reserve
`
`rebuttal time, if desired. Next, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s
`
`arguments. After Patent Owner concludes its presentation, Petitioner may
`
`present rebuttal arguments if it has reserved time to do so. Such arguments
`
`must be responsive to, and may not exceed the scope of, Patent Owner’s
`
`arguments.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), the parties shall serve any
`
`demonstrative exhibits upon each other at least seven business days prior to
`
`the hearing. The parties also shall provide the demonstrative exhibits to the
`
`Board at least seven business days prior to the hearing by emailing them to
`
`2
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00193
`Patent 7,241,034 C1
`
`
`Trials@uspto.gov. The parties shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in
`
`this case without our prior authorization. 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5(b),
`
`42.70(b). The parties are directed to St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division,
`
`Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University of Michigan, Case IPR2013-
`
`00041, slip op. 2–5 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014) (Paper 65), and CBS Interactive
`
`Inc., v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, Case IPR2013-00033, slip op. at 2–
`
`4 (PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper 118), for guidance regarding the appropriate
`
`content of demonstrative exhibits. To aid in the preparation of an accurate
`
`transcript, each party shall provide paper copies of its demonstratives to the
`
`court reporter on the day of the oral hearing. Such paper copies shall not
`
`become part of the record of this proceeding.
`
`Any requests regarding special equipment or needs, such as for
`
`audiovisual equipment, must be submitted via e-mail to Trials@uspto.gov.
`
`Requests for special equipment will not be honored unless presented in a
`
`separate communication directed to the identified email address not less
`
`than five business days before the hearing.
`
`The parties are advised that one or more members of the panel may
`
`participate in the hearing remotely. If a demonstrative is not provided to the
`
`Board in the manner indicated above, that demonstrative may not be
`
`available to each of the judges during the hearing, and may not be
`
`considered. The parties are further advised that images projected using
`
`audiovisual equipment in Alexandria may not be visible to panel members
`
`who are attending remotely.
`
`Because of limitations of the audio transmission systems in our
`
`hearing rooms, the presenter may speak only when standing at the hearing
`
`3
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00193
`Patent 7,241,034 C1
`
`
`room lectern. The parties also are reminded that the presenter must identify
`
`clearly and specifically each demonstrative exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen
`
`number), paper, or exhibit referenced during its argument in order to allow
`
`each judge to follow the presenter’s arguments and ensure the clarity and
`
`accuracy of the reporter’s transcript.
`
`The parties are granted leave to use laptop computers at the counsel
`
`tables. The parties, however, are cautioned that counsel may not use laptops
`
`to make or transmit audio or visual recordings of the proceeding, or to
`
`communicate with individuals outside of the hearing room. Laptops may
`
`not be connected to the Internet (including via cellular modem) during the
`
`4
`
`hearing.
