`IPR2018-01248 (Patent 8,479,969 B2)

`
`A Trial Order, was issued on September 19, 2019 with an error
`indicating that “[o]ral argument will commence at 10:00 am Eastern Time
`on October 17, 2019, on the 9th floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany
`Street, Alexandria Virginia.” Paper 32, 2; see also id. at 4 (stating “it is:
`ORDERED that the oral hearing, conducted pursuant to the procedures
`outlined above, shall commence at 10:00 am Eastern Time on October 17,
`2019).2
`The Trial Order should have indicated that “[o]ral argument will
`commence at 9:00 am Eastern Time on October 17, 2019.”
`Accordingly, the Trial Order of September 19, 2019 for IPR2018-
`01247, 01248, -01254, and -01703, is modified as follows:
`on page 2, it should read “[o]ral argument will commence at 9:00 am
`Eastern Time on October 17, 2019, on the 9th floor of Madison Building
`East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria Virginia”; and
`on page 4, it should read “ORDERED that the oral hearing, conducted
`pursuant to the procedures outlined above, shall commence at 9:00 am
`Eastern Time on October 17, 2019.”
`In all other respects, the Order is unchanged.
`
`2 IPR2018-01247 is representative of IPR2018-01248, -01254, and 01703.
