`
`
`
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`LIQUIDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
`Petitioner
`
`v.
`
`UNITED THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION,
`Patent Owner
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2020-00770
`U.S. Patent No. 9,604,901
`
`
`
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`IPR2020-00770
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Liquidia Technologies, Inc.,
`
`requests an oral hearing on all grounds of unpatentability raised in this proceeding.
`
`Petitioner also requests oral hearing on any issues raised by Patent Owner in its
`
`Request for Oral Hearing, any procedural or evidentiary issues raised by the parties,
`
`and any additional issues or questions raised by the Board or the parties before or
`
`during the oral argument.
`
`Petitioner requests 60 minutes total to address all the issues involved in this
`
`proceeding. See PTAB Consolidated Trial Practice Guide, Nov. 2019 Ed., 81-82
`
`(“Practice Guide”) (“The Board expects to ordinarily provide for an hour of
`
`argument per side for a single proceeding, but a party may request more or less time
`
`depending on the circumstances of the case.”). To the extent the Board schedules
`
`the hearing to last more than 120 minutes total, however, Petitioner requests that it
`
`should be given half the length of the hearing to address these issues. Petitioner
`
`further requests that it be permitted to speak first at oral argument as the party
`
`bearing the burden of showing the unpatentability of the challenged claims, and that
`
`it be permitted to reserve time for rebuttal following Patent Owner’s allotted
`
`argument time.
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the notice regarding oral hearings occurring after March 13, 2020,
`
`Petitioner requests to participate via remote video and/or telephonically, unless the
`
`1
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`IPR2020-00770
`
`Board or the USPTO notifies otherwise. Petitioner further requests authorization to
`
`present demonstrative slides during oral argument and, to the extent a live hearing
`
`is conducted, the use of audio-visual equipment suitable to display papers of record
`
`and demonstrative exhibits, including a computer-connectable projector, an ELMO,
`
`and a screen.
`
`Petitioner further requests the services of a court reporter to transcribe the
`
`proceeding.
