`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00908
`Patent 5,796,183
`
`
`The Scheduling Orders in these proceedings set the date for oral
`hearing to June 22, 2017, if a hearing was requested by the parties and
`granted by the Board. Paper 13. Each party requested oral hearing pursuant
`to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 29, 30. The requests for oral hearing are
`granted.
`The hearing will commence at 10:00 AM, on June 22, 2017, on the
`ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria,
`Virginia. The Board will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the
`reporter’s transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing. There
`are no motions to seal in the present proceeding. Accordingly, the Board
`exercises its discretion to make the final hearing publically available via in-
`person attendance. 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 a total of forty-five (45) 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 or screen 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
`

`
`
`
`IPR2016-00908
`Patent 5,796,183
`
`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
`of Michigan, Case IPR2013-00041, Paper 65, 2–5 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014), for
`guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`Patent Owner has filed a motion seeking authorization for backup
`counsel to attend and argue at the hearing in lieu of lead counsel.
`Paper 32, 1; Ex. 2013 ¶¶ 2–4. Patent Owner’s motion is hereby granted.
`If Petitioner anticipates that its lead counsel will not be able to attend the
`hearing, Petitioner shall request a conference call with the Board to occur no
`later than two (2) business days prior to the hearing.
`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.
