`
`
`Case IPR2014-00527
`Patent 7,496,674 B2
`
`As set forth in the Scheduling Order (Paper 12), April 15, 2015 was set forth
`
`as the date for oral argument if requested in connection with this proceeding. Both
`parties have requested oral argument. Papers 30, 31. The requests are granted.
`
`Oral argument will commence at 1:30 PM ET on April 15, 2015. The
`hearing will be conducted on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany
`Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314. The hearing will be open to the public for in-
`person attendance, which 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.
`
`Each party will have sixty (60) minutes of total argument time. Petitioner
`bears the ultimate burden of proof that the claims at issue in this review are
`unpatentable. Therefore, at oral hearing Petitioner will proceed first to present its
`case with regard to the challenged claims on which basis we instituted trial.
`Petitioner may reserve rebuttal time. Thereafter, Patent Owner will argue its
`opposition to Petitioner’s case. Petitioner may use any time Petitioner reserved to
`rebut Patent Owner’s opposition.
`
`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 identify 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.
`
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must be served five
`business days prior to the hearing. The parties are further directed to file
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-00527
`Patent 7,496,674 B2
`
`demonstrative exhibits two business days prior to the hearing, and request a
`conference call with the Board no later than two business days prior to the hearing
`to resolve any dispute over the propriety of each party’s demonstrative exhibits.
`The parties are responsible for requesting such a conference sufficiently in advance
`of the hearing to accommodate this requirement. Any objection to demonstrative
`exhibits that is not presented timely will be considered waived. The parties may
`refer to CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033
`(PTAB October 23, 2013) (Paper 118), and St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Div., Inc.
`v. The Board of Regents of the University of Michigan, IPR2013-00041 (PTAB
`Jan. 27, 2014) (Paper 65) regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative
`exhibits.
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person at the
`oral hearing. However, lead or backup counsel may present the party’s argument.
`If either party anticipates that its lead counsel will not be attending the oral
`argument, the parties should initiate a joint telephone conference with the Board no
`later than two business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the matter.
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that oral argument will commence at 1:30 PM ET on April 15,
`2015.
