`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00194
`Patent 8,118,221
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00194
`Attorney Docket No: 39843-0007CP1
`
`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 2, 11, and 32 (all of
`
`the instituted claims) of U.S. Patent No. 8,118,221 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 and
`
`associated issues. See Paper 7 at 15. The Board has already scheduled the Oral
`
`Hearing in this proceeding (consolidated with CBM2015-00117 involving an
`
`additional Petitioner Apple) for November 9, 2015. See Paper 33 at 2. This Oral
`
`Hearing for November 9, 2015 is scheduled along with CBM2014-00199 involving
`
`the same Petitioner and Patent Owner and related patents, and CBM2014-00192
`
`(consolidated with CBM2015-00119), CBM2014-00193 (consolidated with
`
`CBM2015-00120), CBM2015-00015, CBM2015-00016, and CBM2015-00017
`
`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 November 9, 2015. 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
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`requests that, to the extent practicable, the Oral Hearings for each above-listed
`
`proceeding take place in Courtroom A.
`
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
