`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00190
`Patent 7,334,720
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00190
`Attorney Docket No: 39843-0003CP1
`
`Further to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), requiring a separate paper requesting oral
`
`
`
`
`
`hearing and specifying issues to be argued, Petitioner submits this Request for Oral
`
`Hearing on the instituted grounds of unpatentability for claims 13 and 14 (all of the
`
`instituted claims) of U.S. Patent No. 7,334,720 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 and associated
`
`issues. See Paper 9 at 18. The Board has already scheduled the Oral Hearing in this
`
`proceeding (consolidated with CBM2015-00118 involving an additional Petitioner
`
`Apple) for January 6, 2015. See Paper 32 at 2. This Oral Hearing for January 6,
`
`2016 is scheduled along with CBM2015-00028 and CBM2015-00029 involving
`
`related patents and the additional petitioner Apple. Id. Samsung respectfully
`
`suggests that, once the parties to the foregoing proceedings have had an opportunity
`
`to confer following the filing of all associated Requests for Oral Hearing, the parties
`
`and Board may benefit from a conference call to discuss the logistics for the
`
`coordination of proceedings scheduled for January 6, 2016. To account for the
`
`multiple proceedings taking place on the same day, as well as the expected number
`
`of counsel (including litigation counsel in related district court proceedings) and
`
`party representatives for each party, Petitioner further respectfully requests that, to
`
`the extent practicable, the Oral Hearings for each above-listed proceeding take place
`
`in Courtroom A.
