`
`1 This Order pertains to both of these cases. Therefore, we exercise our

`authorized to use this style heading for any subsequent papers.

`
`
`The Scheduling Orders for the above-listed cases set the date for the
`oral hearing as November 6, 2017. Paper 13, 6.2 Each party requested an
`oral hearing pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 28, 29. The parties’
`requests for an oral hearing are granted.
`The hearing will commence at 1:00 PM ET on November 6, 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. The Board
`will provide a court reporter for the hearing, and the reporter’s transcript will
`constitute the official record of the hearing.
`Each party will have a total of sixty (60) minutes to present any
`arguments relating to the above-listed cases. Petitioner bears the ultimate
`burden of proof that the claims under review in these cases 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
`Trials@uspto.gov. The parties shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in
`this case without prior authorization. The parties also should note that at
`
`2 This Order cites to the record of IPR2016-01638.

`
`least one member of the panel will be attending the hearing electronically
`from a remote location and that, if a demonstrative is not submitted by email
`prior to the hearing, it may not be fully available or visible to any judges
`attending remotely. The parties also should note that a panel member
`appearing remotely will not be able to hear the parties unless they speak into
`the microphone at the podium. If the parties have questions as to whether
`demonstrative exhibits would be sufficiently available and visible to all of
`the judges, the parties are invited to contact the Board.
`We expect the parties will meet and confer in good faith to resolve
`any objections to demonstrative exhibits. If such objections cannot be
`resolved, the parties must initiate a conference call with the Board at least
`two (2) business days prior to the hearing to resolve any objections to
`demonstrative exhibits. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits that are not
`timely presented at least two (2) business days prior to the hearing will be
`considered waived.
`We expect lead counsel for each party to attend the hearing. Office
`Patent Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. 48,756, 48,758 (Aug. 14, 2012).
`However, any counsel of record may present the party’s arguments. If either
`party anticipates that its lead counsel will not attend the hearing, the parties
`shall request and make themselves available for a conference call with the
`Board to occur no later than two (2) business days prior to the hearing to
`discuss the reasons for that lead counsel’s absence.
`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)
