`
`Petitioner requests that the Board hold a hearing and Patent Owner requests
`
`participation in the hearing the same extent as Petitioner. The requests are granted.
`There is substantial overlap in the issues raised in the two cases. Accordingly,
`each party will have sixty (60) minutes total time to present arguments. Petitioner
`will proceed first to present its case with respect to the challenged claims and
`grounds for which the Board instituted trial in IPR2014-00237 and -00238.
`Thereafter, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s presentation. Both parties
`may reserve some of their argument time for closing arguments.
`
`The hearing for these cases will commence at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, on
`February 9, 2015, 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. Any dispute over the propriety of
`demonstrative exhibits that is not timely presented two business days prior to the
`hearing will be considered waived. The parties are directed to CBS Interactive Inc.

`2013), regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`

`during the hearing to ensure the clarity and accuracy of the reporter’s transcript.

`although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in whole or in part.
