`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Because this Order addresses issues applicable to these two cases, we
`exercise our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in each case. The
`parties may not use this style heading unless authorized.

`IPR2016-00990 (Patent 7,718,234 B2)
`IPR2016-00991 (Patent 8,758,871 B2)
`
`
`The Scheduling Order issued in each of the above-captioned
`proceedings set June 15, 2017 as the deadline for the parties to file a request
`for oral hearing. IPR2016-00990, Paper 8; IPR2016-00991, Paper 8. On
`that day, Petitioner filed a Statement of Oral Hearing in each case, stating
`that, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Scheduling Order, “Petitioner
`hereby notifies the PTAB that it does not seek oral argument,” instead
`“electing to rest its argument on the papers that have been submitted.”
`IPR2016-00990, Paper 15; IPR2016-00991, Paper 15. Patent Owner did not
`file a request for oral hearing or any other paper relating to oral hearing in
`either case.
`Upon review of the record, we determine that an oral hearing is not
`necessary in either of the above-captioned cases.
`
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that no oral hearing shall be held in IPR2016-00990 and
`IPR2016-00991.
