Depends on whether it is a pretrial hearing or a pretrial conference. Conferences are often held in chambers as opposed to an open courtroom. The primary purpose of a pretrial conference is to determine the issues that remain disputed and are to be tried. A pretrial hearing is usually open because it is held in the courtroom. I had heard--but never confirmed--that the federal judge had appointed a special master (presumably to give some recommendations on the IPR questions) but really don't know. If a special master was appointed, the master's report might be presented since it would help decide issues to be tried.

I am very busy this date but will try to call the court to find out what is being held Monday. Don't know if I could drive over to Marshall; it's about 160 miles from Dallas, about a 2-1/2 hour drive.

I haven't checked but don't think patent suits are jury trials.
