`§ 42.70. The parties’ request for oral hearing is granted.
`
`Petitioner will have 45 minutes to present arguments. Patent Owner
`will have 45 minutes to respond. Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of
`proof that Patent Owner’s claims at issue in this review are unpatentable.
`Therefore, Petitioner will open the hearing by presenting its case regarding
`the challenged claims for which the Board instituted trial. After Petitioner’s
`presentation, Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s argument. Petitioner
`may reserve rebuttal time to respond to arguments presented by Patent
`Owner.
`The hearing will commence at 2:00 PM on August 12, 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.
`The parties are reminded that under 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(f)(7), a
`proponent of deposition testimony must file such testimony as an exhibit.
`The Board will not consider any deposition testimony that has not been so
`filed.
`Furthermore, under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), demonstrative exhibits must
`be served at least five business days before the hearing date. The parties
`also shall provide a courtesy copy of any demonstrative exhibits to the

`
`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 timely presented 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 (PTAB January 27,
`2014) (Paper 65), for guidance regarding the appropriate content of
`demonstrative exhibits.
`The parties should note that one member of the panel is expected to
`attend the oral hearing electronically from a remote location.
`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. The parties may divide argument among counsel as they wish.
`Should there be any disagreement among the parties on the division of
`argument, the parties shall meet and confer in advance of the hearing to try
`to resolve the dispute and, if necessary, contact the Board for assistance.
`If any 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.
