`ORDER
`Trial Hearing
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-00493 (Patent 7,899,167 B1)
`Case IPR2014-00749 (Patent 8,577,003 B2)
`
`On June 2, 2015, Petitioner and Patent Owner jointly requested that
`the Trial Hearing Order issued May 14, 2015 be modified to improve the
`efficiency of the Hearing scheduled for IPR2014-00493 and IPR2014-00749
`on June 4, 2015. Specifically, the parties proposed that the Petitioner would
`present its case with regard to the challenged claims and grounds for both
`proceedings using its allotted time of 90 minutes, less its reserved rebuttal
`time. Patent Owner would have its full allotted time of 90 minutes to argue
`its opposition to Petitioner's cases. Petitioner then may use any of its
`reserved time to rebut Patent Owner's opposition.
`We thank Petitioner and Patent Owner for their suggested
`modification to the procedure for oral argument. We agree that the
`efficiency of the Hearing could be improved if oral argument for the issues
`in IPR2014-00493 and IPR2014-00749 were argued together. The parties
`are cautioned, however, that the proceedings are not being consolidated and
`will continue to have separate records. We urge the parties to be mindful of
`the differences in the claims challenged in each case and to be mindful of the
`evidence of record in each case. A single transcript for the hearing will be
`filed in IPR2014-00493 and IPR2014-00749. Because of the expected
`efficiencies in this modification of the procedure for oral argument, each
`party will have 60 minutes of argument time to argue the issues in IPR2014-
`00493 and IPR2014-00749.
`Accordingly, commencing at 1:00 PM ET on June 4, 2015, oral
`argument for the issues in IPR2014-00493 and IPR2014-00749 will be held.
`Each party will have 60 minutes of argument time. Petitioner bears the
`ultimate burden of proof that the claims at issue are unpatentable.
`Therefore, Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with regard to the
`

`
`Case IPR2014-00493 (Patent 7,899,167 B1)
`Case IPR2014-00749 (Patent 8,577,003 B2)
`
`challenged claims and grounds on which we instituted trial in this
`proceeding. Patent Owner then will argue its opposition to Petitioner’s case.
`Finally, Petitioner may use any time it reserved to rebut Patent Owner’s
`opposition.
`All other provisions of our Trial Hearing Order issued May 14, 2015
`remain in effect.
