`
`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(10)
`
`
`1 This order addresses an issue that is identical in both cases. Therefore, we
`exercise discretion to issue one order to be filed in each of the two cases.
`The parties, however, are not authorized to use this style heading.
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00730 (Patent 7,584,071 B2)
`IPR2014-00732 (Patent 8,106,748 B2)
`
`
`Both parties request a hearing in the two cases pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.70. The requests are granted. The hearing for IPR2014-00730 and
`
`IPR2014-00732 will commence at 2 PM Eastern Time, on July 1, 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.
`
`Each party will have sixty (60) minutes total time to present
`
`arguments for the two cases. Petitioner will proceed first to present its case
`
`with respect to the challenged claims and grounds for which the Board
`
`instituted trial for both cases. Thereafter, Patent Owner will respond to
`
`Petitioner’s presentation for both cases. Petitioner may reserve rebuttal time
`
`to respond to Patent Owner’s presentation with respect to both cases.
`
`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), the parties shall serve any demonstrative
`
`exhibits upon each other at least five business days prior to the hearing. The
`
`Board expects that the parties will meet and confer in good faith to resolve
`
`any objections to demonstrative exhibits, but if such objections cannot be
`
`resolved the parties may file any objections to demonstratives with the
`
`Board at least two business days prior to the hearing. The objections should
`
`identify with particularity which portions of the demonstrative exhibits are
`
`subject to objection, include a copy of the objected-to portions, and include a
`
`one-sentence statement of the reason for each objection. No argument or
`
`further explanation is permitted. The Board will consider any objections and
`
`schedule a conference call if deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Board will
`
`reserve ruling on the objections. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits

`IPR2014-00732 (Patent 8,106,748 B2)
`
`that is not timely presented will be considered waived The parties are
`
`directed to CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC,
`
`IPR2013-00033, Paper 118 (October 23, 2013), regarding the appropriate
`
`content of demonstrative exhibits.
`
`
`
`The parties are reminded that the presenter must identify clearly and
`
`specifically 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. The parties also should note that at least one panel
`
`member will be attending the hearing electronically from a remote location
`
`and that if a demonstrative is not filed or otherwise made fully available or
`
`visible to the judge presiding over the hearing remotely, that demonstrative
`
`will not be considered. If the parties have questions as to whether
`
`demonstrative exhibits would be sufficiently visible and available to all of
`
`the judges, the parties are invited to contact the Board at (571) 272-9797.
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at
`
`hearing, although any backup counsel may make the actual presentation, in
`
`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.
`
`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.
