`
`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
` 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(10)
`
`1 This Order addresses the same issues in the inter partes reviews listed in
`the Appendix. Therefore, we issue one Order to be filed in all of the cases.
`The parties, however, are not authorized to use this style of filing in
`subsequent papers.
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00570
`Patent 8,214,097 B2
`
`
`
`Both parties request a hearing in six cases pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.70. The requests are granted.
`
`The parties jointly propose a total of 3.5 hours per side to present
`
`arguments, partitioning the six cases into three groups, to be heard serially.
`
`See, e.g., IPR2014-00884, Papers 27, 28. Upon consideration of the
`
`requests, each party will have three hours total time to present arguments for
`
`the six cases, partitioned and argued as suggested by the parties.
`
`The hearing will be held on July 1, 2015 as follows: session one for
`
`IPR2014-00571 and IPR2014-00904 will commence at 9:00 AM Eastern
`
`Time; session two for IPR2014-00579 and IPR2014-00884 will commence
`
`at 12:30 PM Eastern Time; and session three for IPR2014-00570 and
`
`IPR2014-00875 will commence at 2:45 PM Eastern Time. For each session,
`
`Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with respect to the challenged
`
`claims and grounds for which the Board instituted trial. Thereafter, Patent
`
`Owner will respond to Petitioner’s presentation. Petitioner may reserve
`
`rebuttal time to respond to Patent Owner’s presentation.
`
`The hearing will be open to the public for in-person attendance, on the
`
`ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria,
`
`Virginia. 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
`
`five business days prior to the hearing. They shall be filed at the Board two
`
`business days prior to the hearing, and the parties must initiate a conference
`
`call with the Board by two business days prior to the hearing to resolve any
`
`dispute over the propriety of each party’s demonstrative exhibits. Any
`
`dispute over the propriety of demonstrative exhibits that is not timely
`

`
`
`
`IPR2014-00570
`Patent 8,214,097 B2
`
`
`
`presented two business days prior to the hearing will be considered waived.
`
`The parties are directed to CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent
`
`Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033, Paper 118 (October 23, 2013), regarding
`
`the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`
`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 5 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 Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at
`
`hearing, although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in
`
`whole or in part. If any lead counsel will not be in attendance at hearing, the
`
`Board should be notified via a joint telephone conference call no later than
`
`two days prior to the hearing to discuss the matter.
