`
`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
` 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(10)
`
`
`
`1 This order addresses an issue that is identical in the two cases. Therefore,
`we exercise discretion to issue one order to be filed in both cases. The
`parties, however, are not authorized to use this style heading in subsequent
`papers.

`
`Cases IPR2012-00018 and IPR2012-00019
`Patents 7,566,960 and 8,062,968
`
`
`Petitioner requests a hearing pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 in each of
`the two cases. Petitioner’s requests are granted.2
`Each party will have sixty (60) minutes of total time to present
`arguments for the two cases. Petitioner will proceed first to present its case
`for IPR2012-00018. Thereafter, Patent Owner will present its case for
`IPR2012-00018. Each party may reserve rebuttal time. The same format
`will follow for IPR2012-00019. Because the two cases are related with
`overlapping issues, the Board anticipates that the parties will use more of
`their total sixty-minute allotted time for IPR2013-00018.
`The hearing will commence at 9:00 AM Eastern Time, on November
`7, 2013, and it 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.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at
`hearing, although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in
`
`
`2 Patent Owner did not file a request for oral argument in either case.
`Accordingly, if Petitioner determines that oral argument is not necessary,
`Petitioner shall contact the Board as soon as possible.

`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.
