`
`
`
`
`1 This Order addresses an issue that is identical in all four cases. We,
`therefore, exercise our discretion to issue one Order to be filed in each of the
`four cases. The parties, however, are not authorized to use this style heading
`in any subsequent papers.

`
`
`In the Scheduling Order dated February 1, 2016 (Paper 102), oral
`argument was scheduled to be held on October 4, 2016, if requested by the
`parties. Per our Order dated August 23, 2016, oral argument was reset to
`October 6, 2016. Paper 27. Petitioner and Patent Owner have requested oral
`argument. Papers 29, 30. The parties’ requests are granted.
`The oral argument will be conducted in two sessions on Thursday,
`October 6, 2016, as follows: (1) a morning session, commencing at 9:00
`AM Eastern Time; and (2) an afternoon session, commencing at 1:00 PM
`Eastern Time. During the morning session, each party will have thirty (30)
`minutes of oral argument time for Case IPR2015-01642 and 30 minutes of
`oral argument time for Case IPR2015-01644. Each case will be argued
`separately. During the afternoon session, each party will have 30 minutes of
`oral argument time for Case IPR2015-01653 and 30 minutes of oral
`argument time for Case IPR2015-01659. Each case will be argued
`separately.
`The Board will provide a court reporter for the oral argument and the
`reporter’s transcript will constitute the official record of the oral argument.
`The hearing transcript will be entered in the record of this proceeding.
`Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that Patent Owner’s
`patent claims at issue are unpatentable. Therefore, at oral argument,
`Petitioner will proceed first to present its case with respect to the challenged
`
`2 All citations are to Case IPR2015-01642 unless otherwise noted. Petitioner
`has filed similar papers in Cases IPR2015-01644, IPR2015-01653, and
`IPR2015-01659, and, therefore, we only provide citations to Case IPR2015-
`01642 unless otherwise noted.

`Petitioner may make use of the time it has reserved to rebut Patent Owner’s
`presentation.

`in part. If any lead counsel will not be in attendance at hearing, we should
