`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` Patent Owner’s Request for Oral Argument
`CBM2013-00017 (Patent 6,834,282)
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Patent Owner Versata Development Group
`
`Inc. respectfully requests the opportunity to present oral arguments before the PTAB on
`
`May 28, 2014. (See Scheduling Order, Paper No. 9, p. 5). The issues to be argued include
`
`the patentability of the claims under § 101, Patent Owner’s Motion to Amend, Patent
`
`Owner’s Motion to Exclude, any other issues briefed by or presented by the parties
`
`throughout this trial, and any issues argued by Petitioner during the oral argument.
`
`Though prior PTAB orders indicate a desire to consolidate oral argument time for
`
`reviews involving the same parties, Patent Owner respectfully requests separate oral
`
`argument time for the instant proceeding and CBM2013-00018. The proceedings involve
`
`two different patents with completely different specifications, completely different claim sets,
`
`and highly distinct factual issues. Accordingly, Patent Owner believes separate oral
`
`argument time to be warranted in this proceeding. Further, given the newly-presented
`
`issues included in Petitioner’s Reply and Exhibits 1017 and 1018, Patent Owner respectfully
`
`requests 90 minutes time for oral argument. If the Board has any questions or comments,
`
`the undersigned attorney respectfully requests a telephone conference.

`Respectfully submitted,
