`
`
`
`On March 3, 2017, we instituted the instant inter partes review
`(Paper 10), and issued a Scheduling Order (Paper 11), which set the date for
`oral hearing to November 1, 2017, if oral hearing is requested by either party
`and granted by the Board. Both parties request an oral hearing pursuant to
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 20 and 21. We grant those requests.
`The parties each request 45 minutes of time to present their argument.
`Paper 20, 1; Paper 21, 1. Upon review of the record, we grant a total of
`90 minutes of oral argument time, with 45 minutes allocated to each party.
`The hearing will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, on
`November 1, 2017, and will be conducted at the USPTO central
`headquarters located in Alexandria, Virginia. Each party will have
`45 minutes of total time to present its arguments. At the oral hearing,
`Petitioner will proceed first to present its case as to the challenged claims
`and instituted grounds of unpatentability. Thereafter, Patent Owner will
`respond to Petitioner’s case. After that, Petitioner will make use of the rest
`of its time responding to Patent Owner’s presentation on all matters.
`Petitioner must confine any such rebuttal to subject matter expressly
`addressed during Patent Owner’s argument.
`The hearing will be open to the public for in-person attendance at the
`USPTO central headquarters, the ninth floor of Madison Building East,
`600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia, 22314. In-person attendance 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.

`
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served no
`later than seven business days before the hearing date. They shall be filed
`with the Board no later than the time of oral argument. Because the hearing
`will be open to the public, any demonstrative exhibits shall not contain any
`information alleged to be confidential by either party. The parties must
`initiate a conference call with the Board at least two business days prior to
`the hearing to resolve any dispute over the propriety of each party’s
`demonstrative exhibits. The parties are directed to St. Jude Medical,
`Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University of
`Michigan, Case IPR2013-00041 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014) (Paper 65), for
`guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits. See
`also CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, Case
`IPR2013-00033 (PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper 118) (The Board has the
`discretion to limit the parties’ demonstratives to pages in the record should
`there be no easy resolution to objections over demonstratives.).
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at oral
`hearing, although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in
`whole or in part. If lead counsel for either party is unable to attend the oral
`argument, the Board should be notified via a joint telephone conference call
`no later than two business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the
`matter.
`Any requests regarding special equipment or needs, such as for audio
`visual equipment, should be directed to Trials@uspto.gov. Requests for
`audio-visual equipment are to be made at least five business days in advance

`
`of the hearing date. Judge Harlow will participate in the hearing remotely,
`from Denver, Colorado. If a demonstrative is not made available to the
`Board in the manner indicated above, that demonstrative may not be
`available to each of the judges during the hearing and may not be
`considered. Further, images projected, using audio visual equipment in
`Alexandria, will not be visible to Judge Harlow in Denver. Because of
`limitations on the audio transmission systems in our hearing rooms, the
`presenter may speak only when standing at the hearing room podium. 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. 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.
