`Patent 8,137,757 B2
`
`At the request of Petitioner, a telephone conference was held on May
`9, 2016, among respective counsel for Petitioner and Patent Owner, and
`Judges Kokoski, Kalan, and Murphy. The purpose of the call was to address
`Petitioner’s objections to a demonstrative exhibit (Ex. 2036, 18 (“Slide 18”))
`Patent Owner intends to use at the upcoming oral hearing in this proceeding.
`Petitioner contends that Slide 18 includes a new argument regarding
`claim construction that Patent Owner did not present in a paper before the
`Board. Patent Owner disagrees. Upon consideration of the Petitioner’s and
`Patent Owner’s arguments, we determined that Patent Owner may use Slide
`18 at the oral hearing. We advised the parties that, if necessary, we will
`determine whether Patent Owner raised a new argument for the first time at
`the hearing when we review all of the pertinent papers and prepare a final
`written decision. We may decline to consider any improper argument and
`related evidence at that time.
