`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceedings
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 This Order applies to all three cases. The parties are not authorized to use
`this style heading for any subsequent papers.
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00596 (Patent 7,134,505 B2)
`Case IPR2016-00597 (Patent 7,543,634 B2)
`Case IPR2016-00598 (Patent 7,861,774 B2)
`
`
`On August 24, 2016, schedules for these cases were set forth in the
`following papers: IPR2016-00596, Paper 14, IPR2016-00597, Paper 9, and
`IPR2016-00598, Paper 9 (collectively, the “First Scheduling Orders”). The
`First Scheduling Orders set a due date of April 14, 2017 for the parties to file
`any request for oral argument. On April 14, 2017, both parties filed requests
`for oral argument. IPR2016-00596, Papers 42, 44, IPR2016-00597, Papers
`38, 40, IPR2016-00598, Papers 38, 40.
`Concurrent with this order, we have issued a Revised Scheduling
`Order in each of the subject cases. The Revised Scheduling Orders reset the
`date for oral argument from May 18, 2017 to November 2, 2017. The
`Revised Scheduling Orders also set a new due date of September 28, 2017
`for the parties to file any request for oral argument. This change in the
`schedule renders moot the parties’ April 14 requests for oral argument. If
`oral argument is desired on November 2, 2017, a new request for oral
`argument must be filed by the due date of September 28, 2017.
`Order
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`ORDERED that, if oral argument is desired on November 2, 2017, a
`new request for oral argument must be filed by the due date of
`September 28, 2017.
