`

`
`
`Case CBM2014-00199
`Patent 8,118,221
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case CBM2014-00199
`Attorney Docket No: 39843-0007CP2
`
`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 and 11 (all of the
`
`instituted claims) of U.S. Patent No. 8,118,221 under 35 U.S.C. § 102 and associated
`
`issues. See Paper 9 at 12. The Board has already scheduled the Oral Hearing in this
`
`proceeding for November 9, along with CBM2014-00192 (consolidated with 00119),
`
`CBM2014-00193 (consolidated with CBM2015-00120), CBM2014-00194
`
`(consolidated with CBM2015-00117), CBM2015-00015, CBM2015-00016, and
`
`CBM2015-00017 involving related patents and the additional petitioner Apple. See
`
`Paper 29 at 2. 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 requests that, to the extent practicable, the Oral Hearings for each
`
`above-listed proceeding take place in Courtroom A.
