`
`The Scheduling Order for this case sets the date for the oral hearing as
`May 31, 2017. Paper 8, 7. Each party requested an oral hearing pursuant to
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 16, 18. The parties’ requests for an oral hearing
`are granted.
`The hearing will commence at 3:00 PM ET on May 31, 2017, on the
`ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria,
`Virginia. The hearing will be open to the public for in-person attendance
`that 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 a total of thirty (30) minutes to present any
`arguments relating to this case. Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof
`that the claims under review in this case are unpatentable. Therefore,
`Petitioner will proceed first, and Patent Owner will follow. Petitioner may
`then use any time Petitioner reserved for rebuttal. The parties are reminded
`that the presenter must identify clearly and specifically any demonstrative
`exhibit (e.g., by slide number) referenced during the hearing to ensure the
`clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s transcript and the ability of all judges
`to follow the presenter’s arguments.
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), the parties shall serve any demonstrative
`exhibits upon each other at least seven (7) business days prior to the hearing.
`The parties also shall provide the demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least
`two (2) business days prior to the hearing by emailing them to
`Trials@uspto.gov. The parties shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in
`this case without prior authorization. The parties are directed to St. Jude
`Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University

`Patent 7,151,802 B1
`
`of Michigan, Case IPR2013-00041, slip op. at 2–3 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014)
`(Paper 65), for guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative
`exhibits.
`The Board expects the parties will meet and confer in good faith to
`resolve any objections to demonstrative exhibits. If such objections cannot
`be resolved, the parties must initiate a conference call with the Board at least
`two (2) business days prior to the hearing to resolve any objections to
`demonstrative exhibits. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits that are not
`timely presented at least two (2) business days prior to the hearing will be
`considered waived.
`We expect lead counsel for each party to be present in person at the
`hearing. Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,758
`(Aug. 14, 2012). However, any counsel of record may present the party’s
`arguments. If either party anticipates that its lead counsel will not attend the
`hearing, the parties shall request and make themselves available for a
`conference call with the Board to occur no later than two (2) business days
`prior to the hearing to discuss the reasons for that lead counsel’s absence.
`Any requests regarding special equipment or needs, such as for
`audio/visual equipment, should be directed 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 (5)
`business days before the hearing.
