`Patent 8,559,635 B1
`
`
`On October 4, 2017, we issued a trial order in IPR2016-01520,
`granting the parties requests for oral hearing. Paper 34. On the same date,
`the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its decision in Aqua
`Products, Inc. v. Matal, No. 2015-1177, 2017 WL 4399000 (Fed. Cir. Oct.
`4, 2017) (“Aqua Products”). Given this decision, we reach out to the parties
`again regarding minor changes to the oral hearing.
`Most aspects of the prior hearing order remain in effect. For example,
`the oral argument for this case still will be heard on Thursday, October 26,
`2017, on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street,
`Alexandria, Virginia. The hearing will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern
`Time.
`In addition, each party will continue to have forty five (45) minutes of
`total time to present arguments. Petitioner will proceed first to present its
`case with regard to the challenged claims and grounds on which we
`instituted trial. In light of Aqua Products, however, Petitioner may also
`address the Contingent Motion to Amend in its initial remarks. After
`Petitioner’s presentation, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s
`arguments. Petitioner may reserve time to respond to arguments presented
`by Patent Owner in rebuttal.
`As well, to allow for discussion of the sur-Reply authorized on
`October 11, 2017, demonstrative exhibits must be served at least three (3)
`business days before the hearing, with the parties providing a courtesy copy
`of any demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least two (2) business days
`prior to the hearing by emailing them to Trials@upto.gov. The parties must
`file any objections to the demonstratives with the Board at least two (2)
`business days before the hearing.
