`
`Case IPR2017-01510
`Patent 7,669,465 B2
`
`Petitioners and Patent Owner request an oral hearing pursuant to 37
`C.F.R. § 42.70(a). Paper 47; Paper 48. The parties’ requests for an oral
`hearing are granted. The hearing will commence at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time
`on September 5, 2018, on the ninth floor of Madison Building East, 600
`Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. The hearing will be open to the public
`for in-person attendance, and in-person attendance will be accommodated on
`a first-come, first-served basis. If the parties have any concern about
`disclosing confidential information, they are to contact the Board at least
`three business days before the hearing to discuss the matter.
`Petitioners are collectively allotted up to 60 minutes of argument time,
`and Patent Owner is allotted up to 60 minutes of argument time.
`Petitioners will open the hearing by presenting argument regarding the
`pending grounds of unpatentability. Patent Owner will then have the
`opportunity to argue its opposition to Petitioners’ case. If desired,
`Petitioners may reserve rebuttal time, not to exceed half the total time
`allotted. Petitioners are cautioned that rebuttal time may only be used to
`respond to arguments made during Patent Owner’s argument.
`The parties are requested to provide a courtesy copy of any
`demonstrative exhibits to the Board by emailing them to Trials@uspto.gov
`no later than 4 pm ET on Friday, August 31, 2018. 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),
`for guidance regarding the appropriate content of demonstrative exhibits.
`The parties shall meet and confer to discuss any objections to
`demonstrative exhibits. If any issues regarding demonstratives remain
`unresolved after the parties meet and confer, the parties shall file jointly a

`
`list of objections to the demonstrative exhibits at least three business days
`before the hearing. For each objection, the list must identify with
`particularity the demonstratives subject to the objection and include a short,
`one-sentence statement explaining the objection. We will consider the
`objections and schedule a conference call if necessary. Otherwise, we will
`reserve ruling on the objections. Any objection to demonstrative exhibits
`not presented timely will be considered waived.
`One or more members of the panel hearing this case will attend the
`hearing remotely via a videoconferencing device and, therefore, will not be
`able to view the projection screen in the hearing room. Consequently, the
`parties are reminded that the presenter must identify clearly and specifically
`each demonstrative exhibit (e.g., by slide or screen number) or page of the
`record referenced during the hearing.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person
`at the oral hearing. Lead or backup counsel of record may present the
`party’s argument. If any party anticipates that its lead counsel will not be
`attending the oral argument, the parties should inform the Board via email
`no later than two business days prior to the oral hearing, and include times
`the parties are available for a conference call to discuss the matter if the
`Board deems it necessary.
`We will provide a court reporter for the hearing and the reporter’s
`transcript will constitute the official record of the hearing. Each party shall
`provide a hard copy of their demonstratives to the court reporter at the
`hearing. Requests for audio-visual equipment must be presented in a
`separate communication directed to Trials@uspto.gov not less than five
`business days before the hearing.
