`
`Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. See Paper
`39 (Petitioner’s Request), 38 (Patent Owner’s Request).
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the
`reporter’s transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing. The
`hearing will be open to the public for in-person attendance that will be
`accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
`Each party will have 30 minutes to present argument. Petitioner bears
`the ultimate burden of proof that Patent Owner’s claims at issue in this
`review are unpatentable. Therefore, Petitioner will open the hearing by
`presenting its arguments regarding the challenged claims for which the
`Board instituted trial. Patent Owner then will respond to Petitioner’s
`arguments. Petitioner may reserve time to respond to arguments presented
`by Patent Owner. Patent Owner may not reserve time.
`The parties are reminded that the demonstrative exhibits must be
`served and filed in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b).
`The Board asks that the parties attempt to resolve objections to the
`demonstrative exhibits, and if any objections cannot be resolved, the parties
`must file those objections with the Board no later than June 16, 2017. Any
`objection to demonstrative exhibits that is not timely presented will be
`considered waived. The objections should identify with particularity which
`demonstrative exhibits are subject to objection, and include a short statement
`of the reason for each objection. The Board will consider the objections and
`schedule a conference if deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Board will
`reserve ruling on the objections until after the oral argument. The parties
`are directed to St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of
`Regents of the University of Michigan, IPR2013-00041 (PTAB

`
`
`IPR2016-00768
`Patent 5,659,891
`
`January 27, 2014) (Paper 65), for guidance regarding the appropriate content
`of demonstrative exhibits.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person
`at the oral hearing. However, any counsel of record may present the party’s
`argument. If either party expects that its lead counsel will not be attending
`the oral argument, the parties should initiate a joint telephone conference
`with the Board no later than June 16, 2017, to discuss the matter.
`Any special requests 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 not less than five days before
`the hearing directed to the above email address.
