`
`Oral argument in the above proceeding is set to begin at 10:00 a.m.,
`
`February 14, 2016, in Hearing Room B, 9th Floor, Madison Building East, 600
`Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. Each party will have 30 minutes. Petitioner
`will present its argument first. Each party may save a portion of its time for
`rebuttal.
`
`The hearing will be open to the public. 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.
`
`Any demonstrative exhibits must be served seven (7) business days before
`the hearing. A hard copy of the demonstratives shall be provided to each judge and
`to the court reporter at the beginning of the argument. Neither the oral argument
`nor demonstrative exhibits constitute evidence (other than possible admissions).
`The demonstratives may not introduce new evidence or argument. Demonstrative
`exhibits must cite to the location of the evidence in the record.
`
`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
`five (5) days in advance of the hearing date. The request is to be sent to
`Trials@uspto.gov. If the request is not timely received, the equipment may not be
`available on the day of the hearing. 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.
