`
`The Scheduling Order in this proceeding sets the date for oral hearing
`to July 19, 2018, if a hearing is requested by the parties and granted by the
`Board. Paper 14. The parties have each requested oral hearing pursuant to
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Papers 28, 30. The parties’ requests are granted.
`The hearing will commence at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, on July 19,
`2018, on the 9th floor of Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street,
`Alexandria, Virginia (Hearing Room A). One or more judges of the panel
`will attend remotely. 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. There are no motions to
`seal pending in the present proceeding, but if the parties have any concern
`about disclosing confidential information, they are to contact the Board as
`soon as practicable, but not less than three business days before the hearing,
`to discuss the matter.
`Each party will have a total of forty-five (45) minutes to present any
`arguments relating to this case. Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof
`that the claims under review in this case are unpatentable. Therefore,
`Petitioner will proceed first, and Patent Owner will follow. Petitioner will
`present its opening argument and may reserve time for rebuttal. Thereafter,
`Patent Owner will respond to Petitioner’s case. Petitioner may then use any
`time Petitioner reserved for rebuttal.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present at the oral
`hearing, although any counsel of record may make the actual presentation in
`whole or in part. The parties are reminded that the presenter must identify
`clearly and specifically any demonstrative exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen

`
`number) referenced during the hearing to ensure the clarity and accuracy of
`the reporter’s transcript and the ability of all judges to follow the presenter’s
`arguments.
`The parties shall serve any demonstrative exhibits upon each other at
`least seven (7) calendar days prior to the hearing. The parties also shall
`provide the demonstrative exhibits to the Board at least two (2) business
`days prior to the hearing by emailing them to Trials@uspto.gov. The parties
`shall not file any demonstrative exhibits in this case without prior
`authorization. Demonstrative exhibits are not evidence, but merely a visual
`aid for use at the hearing. The parties are directed to St. Jude Medical,
`Cardiology Division, Inc. v. The Board of Regents of the University of
`Michigan, Case IPR2013-00041, (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014) (Paper 65), for
`guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`Any requests regarding special equipment or needs, such as for
`audio/visual equipment, should be directed to Trials@uspto.gov. Requests
`for special equipment will not be honored unless presented in a separate
`communication directed to the identified email address not less than five (5)
`business days before the hearing.
