`U.S. Patent No. 7,212,999
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s August 16, 2016 Scheduling
`
`Order (Paper 17), Petitioners respectfully request oral argument, which is currently
`
`scheduled for May 3, 2017, on the issues raised in the Petition for Inter Partes
`
`Review of U.S. Patent 7,212,999 (“the ’999 patent”), Patent Owner’s Response,
`
`and Petitioners’ Reply to Patent Owner’s Response.
`
`The issues to be argued are:
`
`• The construction of certain terms of the ’999 patent;
`
`• The instituted ground of unpatentability, namely whether claims 1-35
`
`of the ’999 patent are patent-ineligible under 35 U.S.C. § 101;
`
`• Any issues identified in Patent Owner’s Request for Oral Argument;
`
`• Rebuttal to Patent Owner’s presentation on all matters;
`
`• Any other issues raised in papers filed in this proceeding, including
`
`issues raised in papers yet to be filed, such as Motions to Exclude; and
`
`• Any other outstanding motions and pleadings, and other issues that
`
`the Board deems necessary for issuing a Final Written Decision.
