`Trial Hearing

`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00782
`Patent 6,784,552 B2
`
`
`
`The date set for oral hearing in these proceedings is June 20, 2017, if a
`hearing is requested by either party and granted by the Board. Paper 7.
`Both parties have requested oral hearing pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70. The
`request is GRANTED. Each party will have 30 minutes of total argument
`time. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Petitioner”) bears the ultimate burden
`of proof that the claims at issue in this review are unpatentable. Therefore,
`at oral hearing Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with regard to
`the challenged claims on which basis we instituted. Thereafter, DSS
`Technology Management, Inc. (“Patent Owner”) will argue its opposition to
`Petitioner’s case. Petitioner then may use any time Petitioner reserved to
`rebut to Patent Owner’s opposition.
`There is a strong public policy interest in making all information
`presented in these proceedings public, as the review determines the
`patentability of claims in an issued patent and thus affects the rights of the
`public. This policy is reflected in part, for example, in 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(1)
`and 35 U.S. C. § 326(a)(1) which provide that the file of any inter partes
`review or post grant review be made available to the public, except that any
`petition or document filed with the intent that it be sealed shall, if
`accompanied by a motion to seal, be treated as sealed pending the outcome
`of the ruling on the motion. Accordingly, the Board exercises its discretion
`to make the oral hearing publically available via in-person attendance.
`Specifically, the hearing will commence at 1:30 PM Eastern Time on
`June 20, 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. If the parties have any concern about disclosing confidential
`information, they are to contact the Board by June 16, 2017 to discuss the
`matter.
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the
`reporter’s transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing. Any
`demonstrative exhibits must be served on or before June 16, 2017.
`Demonstrative exhibits are not evidence and may not introduce new
`evidence or arguments. Instead, demonstrative exhibits should cite to
`evidence in the record. The parties are directed to St. Jude Medical,
`Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University of
`Michigan, Case No. IPR2013-00041 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014) (Paper 65), and
`CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033,
`Paper 118 (Oct. 23, 2013), regarding the appropriate content of
`demonstrative exhibits.
`The parties should attempt to resolve any objections to demonstratives
`prior to involving the Board. The parties must file any unresolved
`objections to the demonstratives with the Board by June 19, 2017. Any
`objection to the demonstrative exhibits that is not presented timely will be
`considered waived. The objections should identify with particularity which
`demonstratives are subject to objection, and include a short (one sentence or
`less) statement of the reason for each objection. The Board will consider the
`objections and schedule a conference if necessary, or the Board may reserve
`ruling until after the oral argument. Demonstratives should be filed at the
`Board by June 19, 2017. A hard copy of the demonstratives should be
`provided to the court reporter at the hearing.

`Questions regarding specific audio-visual equipment should be
`directed to the Board at (571) 272-9797. Requests for audio-visual
`equipment are to be made 5 days in advance of the hearing date. The
`request is to be sent to Trials@uspto.gov. If the request is not received
`timely, the equipment may not be available on the day of the hearing.
`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 hearing to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the
`reporter’s transcript. The parties also should note that at least one member
`of the panel will be attending the hearing electronically from a remote
`location and that if a demonstrative is not filed or otherwise made fully
`available or visible to the judge participating remotely, that demonstrative
`will not be considered. 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.
`Although the Board normally expects lead counsel for each party to
`be present in person at the oral hearing, Petitioner’s lead counsel has the
`Board’s permission not to attend the oral hearing in this proceeding.
`Petitioner’s backup counsel may present Petitioner’s argument. If Patent
`Owner anticipates that its lead counsel will not be attending the oral
`argument, Patent Owner should initiate a joint telephone conference with the
`Board no later than two business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the
`matter.
