`
`
`DISCUSSION
`An inter partes review was instituted in each of these proceedings.
`Paper 11.2 Petitioner and Patent Owner requested an oral hearing in each of
`the proceedings pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a). Papers 26, 27. Petitioner
`requested forty-five (45) minutes for argument in each proceeding, and
`Patent Owner requested thirty (30) minutes for each proceeding. See id. We
`have reviewed the issues that the parties intend to address for each
`proceeding, and each party will be permitted thirty (30) minutes per
`proceeding to present arguments.
`The hearing will commence at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, on Friday,
`June 29, 2018. The oral hearing will be open to the public for in-person
`attendance, on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street,
`Alexandria, Virginia. Space in the hearing room is limited, and any
`attendees beyond three per party (including any attorneys who may be
`appearing) will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
`The respective inter partes reviews will be addressed in order,
`commencing with Case IPR2017-01190. For the hearing in each
`proceeding, Petitioner will first present its case as to the challenged claims
`and grounds with respect to which we instituted trial. Petitioner may reserve
`rebuttal time. Thereafter, Patent Owner will argue its opposition to
`Petitioner’s case. Petitioner then may use any time it reserved for rebuttal,
`responding to Patent Owner’s specific arguments presented at the oral
`hearing.
`
`
`2 Citations are to Case IPR2017-01190 as representative, unless otherwise
`noted or ordered.

`
`
`At least seven (7) business days prior to the oral arguments, each
`party shall serve on the other party any demonstrative exhibit(s) it intends to
`use during the oral arguments. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b). The parties shall
`confer with each other regarding any objections to demonstrative exhibits,
`and file demonstrative exhibits with the Board, as a separate exhibit in
`accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.63, at least five business days prior to the
`hearing.
`Demonstrative exhibits are not evidence, but merely a visual aid at the
`oral arguments. Demonstrative exhibits may not introduce new evidence or
`raise new arguments, but instead 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 IPR2013-00041
`(PTAB Jan. 27, 2014) (Paper 65) and CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich
`Patent Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033, (PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper 118),
`for guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`The parties should attempt to resolve any objections to demonstratives
`prior to involving the Board. For any issue that cannot be resolved after
`conferring with the opposing party, the parties may email jointly to
`Trials@uspto.gov a one-page list of objections at least five business days
`prior to the hearing. The list should identify with particularity which
`demonstrative exhibits are subject to objection and include a short statement
`(no more than one short sentence) of the reason for each objection. No
`argument or further explanation is permitted. We will consider the
`objections and schedule a conference call, if necessary. Otherwise, we may
`consider the objections at or after the hearing. Any unresolved objections to
`demonstrative exhibits not timely presented will be considered waived.

`
`
`To aid in the preparation of an accurate transcript, each party shall
`provide paper copies of its demonstratives to the court reporter on the day of
`the oral arguments. Such paper copies shall not become part of the record of
`this proceeding. The parties are reminded that each presenter must identify
`clearly and specifically each demonstrative exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen
`number), paper, or exhibit referenced during the oral arguments to ensure the
`clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s transcript.
`We expect 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 will not be in attendance at the oral
`hearing, we should be notified via email communications no later than two
`(2) business days prior to the oral hearing
`Lead counsel and back-up counsel may use portable computers in the
`hearing room at the counsel tables and at the hearing room lectern. The
`parties are reminded to direct any requests for specialized audio-visual
`equipment to Trials@uspto.gov. Requests for special equipment will not be
`honored unless presented in a separate communication directed to the above
`e-mail address not less than five (5) days before the oral arguments. If the
`request is not received timely, the equipment may not be available on the
`day of the oral arguments.
`
`ORDER

`place beginning at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, on Friday, June 29, 2018 at the
