`AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER

`Further to our initial Scheduling Order, mailed October 31, 2017,
`(Paper 13), and the parties Request for Oral Argument in each of the above
`noted proceedings, this Order changes the oral argument date, Due Date 7,
`previously, July 26, 2018, to the new date and time of, August 3, 2018,
`1:00pm Eastern Time, in Alexandria, Virginia. No other changes to the
`Scheduling Order have been made.
`
`NEW DUE DATE 7 ...............................................................August 3, 2018
`
`The original, and now amended, Scheduling Order for these cases sets
`the date for oral hearing as August 3, 2018, if a hearing is requested by the
`parties and granted by the panel. See e.g., IPR2017-01275, Paper 13. Both
`parties have requested oral hearing pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70. See, id.
`Papers 29, 31. The requests are granted.
`Oral arguments will commence at 1:00 pm Eastern Time on August 3,
`2018, on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street,
`Alexandria, Virginia. Each party will have 90 minutes total time to present
`arguments. 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 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.
`Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), the parties shall serve any demonstrative
`exhibits upon each other at least five business days prior to the hearing. The
`parties also shall provide the demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least five
`business days prior to the hearing by emailing them to Trials@uspto.gov.
`The parties shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in this proceeding
`without prior authorization from the Board.
`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 Jan. 27,
`2014) (Paper 65) and CBS Interactive Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing,
`LLC, IPR2013-00033, (PTAB Oct. 23, 2013) (Paper 118), for guidance
`regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.

`discuss the matter.
