`ORDER
`Oral Hearing
`37 U.S.C. § 42.70
`
`
`1 This Order sets forth consolidated oral argument for the above-identified

`authorized to use this style heading in subsequent papers.

`
`
`In each of the above-identified cases, we instituted inter partes review
`(Paper 9)2 and issued a Scheduling Order (Paper 10) that sets the date for
`oral hearing as February 27, 2020, if a hearing is requested by the parties
`and granted by the Board. Both parties request oral hearing pursuant to
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Paper 23; Paper 24. We grant those requests.
`The hearing for these proceedings will commence at 1:00 PM
`Eastern Time, on February 27, 2020, and will be open to the public for in-
`person attendance at the USPTO Headquarters, on the ninth floor of
`Madison Building East, 600 Dulany Street, Alexandria, Virginia. 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
`requested to contact the Board at least ten (10) business days in advance of
`the hearing to discuss the matter. We will provide a court reporter for the
`hearing, and the reporter’s transcript will constitute the official record of the
`hearing.
`We grant 60 minutes of oral argument time to each party, for a total
`of two hours. Because Petitioner bears the ultimate burden of proof that the
`challenged claims are unpatentable, Petitioner will proceed first to present its
`case as to the challenged claims. Petitioner may reserve some, but not more
`than half, of its argument time for rebuttal. Thereafter, Patent Owner will
`respond to Petitioner’s case. Patent Owner may similarly reserve some of its
`argument time for sur-rebuttal. Next, Petitioner may use any time it has
`reserved for rebuttal to respond to Patent Owner’s specific arguments
`presented at the hearing. Then, Patent Owner may present a brief sur-
`

`
`rebuttal if it has reserved time. No live testimony from any witness will be
`taken at the oral argument.
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(b), any demonstrative exhibits must be
`served no later than seven (7) business days before the hearing date, and
`filed with the Board no later than five (5) business days before the hearing
`date. Demonstrative exhibits are merely a visual aid for use at the
`hearing and are not evidence. They may not introduce new arguments or
`evidence. The parties shall meet and confer to discuss any objections to
`demonstrative exhibits at least three (3) business days before the hearing. If
`any issues regarding demonstrative exhibits remain unresolved after the
`parties meet and confer, the parties may file jointly a one-page list of
`objections to the demonstrative exhibits at least two (2) business days before
`the hearing. For each objection, the list must identify with particularity the
`demonstrative exhibits that are subject to the objection and include a short,
`one-sentence statement explaining the objection. Any objection to
`demonstrative exhibits that is not presented timely will be considered
`waived. We will consider the objections and schedule a conference call if
`necessary. We may reserve ruling on the objections until after the oral
`hearing. For further guidance regarding the appropriate content of
`demonstrative exhibits, the parties are directed to St. Jude Medical,
`Cardiology Division, Inc. v. Board of Regents of the University of Michigan,
`IPR2013-00041, Paper 65 (PTAB Jan. 27, 2014). See also CBS Interactive
`Inc. v. Helferich Patent Licensing, LLC, IPR2013-00033, Paper 118 (PTAB
`Oct. 23, 2013) (The Board has the discretion to limit the parties’
`demonstratives to pages in the record should there be no easy resolution to

`
`objections over demonstratives.). Each party also shall provide a hard copy
`of its demonstrative exhibits to the court reporter at the hearing.
`One or more judges on the panel may attend the hearing electronically
`from a remote location and would have access only to the filed copy of the
`demonstratives provided in advance, as referenced above. If a
`demonstrative is not made available to the Board in the manner indicated
`above, that demonstrative may not be available to each of the judges during
`the hearing and may not be considered. Images projected, using audio-
`visual equipment in Alexandria, will not be visible to any judge attending
`the hearing electronically. We take this opportunity to remind the parties
`that each 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, as well as to
`enable any judge attending the hearing electronically to follow the
`presentation. Further, due to limitations on the audio transmission systems
`in our hearing rooms, a presenter may speak only when standing at the
`hearing room podium.
`The Board expects lead counsel for each party to be present in person
`at the oral hearing. Any counsel of record, however, may present the party’s
`argument as long as that counsel is present in person. If either party expects
`that its lead counsel will not be attending the oral argument, the parties
`should initiate a joint telephone conference with the Board no later than five
`(5) business days prior to the oral hearing to discuss the matter.
`A party may request remote video attendance for one or more of its
`other attendees to view the hearing from any USPTO location. The

`
`available locations include the Rocky Mountain Regional Office in Denver,
`Colorado; the Texas Regional Office in Dallas, Texas; the Elijah J. McCoy
`Midwest Regional Office in Detroit, Michigan; and the Silicon Valley Office
`in San Jose, California. To request remote video viewing, a party must send
`an e-mail message to Trials@uspto.gov at least ten (10) business days prior
`to the hearing, indicating the requested location and the number planning to
`view the hearing from the remote location. The Board will notify the parties
`if the request for video viewing is granted. Note that it may not be possible
`to grant the request due to the availability of resources.
`Any special requests for audio-visual equipment should be directed to
`Trials@uspto.gov. A party may also indicate any special requests related to
`appearing at an in-person oral hearing, such as a request to accommodate
`physical needs that limit mobility or visual or hearing impairments, and
`indicate how the PTAB may accommodate the special request. Any special
`requests must be presented in a separate communication not less than
`five (5) days before the hearing. If requests are not received timely, then
`requested accommodations and equipment may not be available on the day
`of the hearing.
`It is
`ORDERED that oral argument will commence at 1:00 PM ET on
`February 27, 2020, in Alexandria, Virginia.
