`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s September 26, 2013, Scheduling Order (Paper 23),
`
`the Patent Owner, Continental Automotive Systems US, Inc. (“Continental”)
`
`respectfully requests oral argument for the trial currently scheduled for December

`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, Continental specifies the following.
`
`
`
`ISSUES TO BE ARGUED
`
`A. Whether there is reason to combine Derbyshire and Bowers. In particular:
`
`1. Whether critical data will be received in Derbyshire’s system and
`
`whether there would be enhancement from use of the Bowers timer
`
`circuit.
`
`2. Whether non-critical data will be received in Derbyshire’s system and
`
`whether there would be enhancement from use of the Bowers timer
`
`circuit.
`
`3. Whether Derbyshire already has other methods of dealing with critical
`
`and non-critical data collisions.
`
`B. Whether Derbyshire itself teaches against the modification suggested in the
`
`rejection.
`
`C. Whether Derbyshire and Bowers are from non-analogous art fields and can
`
`even be combined.
`
`
`
`
`
`D. Whether Bailie provides a reason for the proposed combination.
`
`E. Whether the subject matter of claims 3 and 8 is taught by any of the
`
`references.
`
`
`
`
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Continental respectfully requests the opportunity to have an oral argument at
`
`the Board. We respectfully request thirty (30) minutes to make our presentation to
`
`the Board. If the Board has any questions, comments, or suggestions, the
`
`undersigned attorney earnestly requests a telephone conference.
`
`
`
