`
`
`The Scheduling Order for these cases sets the date for oral hearing as
`
`September 21, 2015, if a hearing is requested by the parties and granted by the
`
`Board. Both parties have requested an oral hearing. The parties’ request for oral
`
`hearing is GRANTED.
`
`Time & Format
`
`Each side will have 90 minutes to present arguments. The 90 minutes may
`
`be apportioned between the cases as the presenting party sees fit; all of the cases
`
`will be heard together and at once. Petitioner will present its case first, and may
`
`reserve time for rebuttal. Patent Owner will then respond to Petitioner’s case, and
`
`may also present its case, if it chooses, for any motions it has made. Petitioner
`
`may use any time it has reserved to rebut Patent Owner’s response to Petitioner’s
`
`case, and, if Patent Owner argued any of its motions, Petitioner may then respond
`
`to Patent Owner’s arguments. Patent Owner may then rebut Petitioner’s arguments
`
`regarding Patent Owner’s motions.
`
`The hearing will commence at 9 AM Eastern Standard Time on
`
`September 21, 2015, on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany
`
`Street, Alexandria, Virginia. The Board will provide a court reporter for the
`
`hearing and the reporter’s transcript will constitute the official record of the
`
`hearing. The hearing will be open to the public for in-person attendance that will
`
`be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. Available seating is limited.

`
`Demonstratives
`
`The parties are reminded that, under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative
`
`exhibits must be served at least five business days before the hearing date. The
`
`parties must file any objections to the demonstratives with the Board at least two
`
`business days before the hearing. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits that is
`
`not presented timely will be considered waived. The objections should identify
`
`with particularity which demonstratives are subject to objection, and include a
`
`short (one sentence or less) statement of the reason for each objection. No
`
`argument or further explanation is permitted. The Board will consider the
`
`objections and schedule a conference if deemed necessary. Otherwise, the Board
`
`will reserve ruling on the objections until after the oral argument. The parties are
`
`directed to St. Jude Medical, Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of
`
`the University of Michigan, IPR2013-00041, Paper 65 (PTAB January 27, 2014),
`
`for guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`
`Lead Counsel
`
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person at the
`
`oral hearing. However, any counsel of record may present the party’s argument. If
`
`either party expects 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.
