`Trial Hearing

`
`
`1 We exercise our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in each case. The parties
`may not use this style heading unless authorized.

`
`The parties request oral argument for these proceedings pursuant to 37
`C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 22, 23 (in each proceeding). We grant the parties’
`requests. The date for oral argument is November 16, 2017.2
`In each proceeding, Petitioner requests thirty (30) minutes of oral argument
`time. Paper 22, 2. Patent Owner does not request any particular amount of time
`for its argument. See Paper 23. Based on our review of the record in these
`proceedings, we determine that two hours of oral argument time, in total, is
`sufficient to address the issues. Accordingly, each party will have one hour of total
`argument time. Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that the claims at
`issue in these reviews are unpatentable (see 35 U.S.C. § 316(e)) and will proceed
`first to present its case with regard to the challenged claims on which we instituted
`trial. Thereafter, Patent Owner may respond to Petitioner’s case. After that,
`Petitioner may use any of its remaining time for rebuttal regarding the challenged
`claims.
`Please note the time and location of the hearing. The hearing will
`commence at 1:30 PM Eastern Time, on November 16, 2017, on the ninth floor
`of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia, and it will
`be open to the public for in-person attendance. Attendees 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 at least 10 days in advance
`of the hearing 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
`
`
`2 In the Scheduling Order, oral argument was set for October 25, 2017. The date
`was changed to November 16 pursuant to a request received by email from Patent
`Owner’s lead counsel, Eric D. Hayes, and pursuant to an agreement of the parties.

`
`hearing. No live testimony from any witness will be taken at the oral argument.
`Any counsel of record may present the party’s argument.
`Any demonstrative exhibits must be served seven business days before the
`hearing. 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b). 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), regarding the
`appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits. The parties must file any objections
`to the demonstratives with the Board at least two business days before the hearing.
`Any objection to 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. No argument or further explanation is
`permitted. The Board will consider the objections and schedule a conference if
`deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Board will reserve ruling on the objections until
`after the oral argument.
`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 at least five (5) business 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 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 presiding over the hearing
`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.
