`
`Case IPR2017-00433
`Patent 9,217,501 B2
`
`On February 26, 2018, at Patent Owner’s request, Judges Easthom,
`
`Kauffman, and Kim held a call with the parties.
`
`Patent Owner requests authorization to file a five-page motion to
`permit live testimony of their expert at the oral hearing. Patent Owner
`indicates that three business days would be sufficient preparation time.
`Petitioner opposes the request.
`
`Given the short period until oral argument, we authorized the motion
`and opposition while on the call.
`
`We informed that parties that if either party seeks to close a portion of
`the hearing, that request must be made no later than March 6, 2018.
`
`
`
`ORDER
`We authorize Patent Owner to file a Motion, not to exceed five pages,
`seeking authorization for live testimony at oral argument, to be filed no later
`than March 1, 2018.
`We authorize Petitioner to file an opposition to that Motion, not to
`exceed five pages, to be filed no later than March 6, 2018.
