`IPR2013-00289
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Scheduling Order (Paper 9),
`
`Petitioners Game Show Network, LLC and WorldWinner.com, Inc. request that
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board hear oral argument on the following issues:
`
`1) Whether challenged claims 1-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,174,237 (Ex.
`
`1001) are unpatentable for the grounds instituted.
`
`a) Whether Claims 1-3, 5, and 8-19 are unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 102(b) as anticipated by Walker (Ex. 1002).
`
`b) Whether Claims 4, 6, and 7 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§ 103 as obvious over Walker (Ex. 1002).
`
`2)
`
`The proper construction of the disputed claim limitations.
`
`a)
`
`The proper construction of the claim phrase “evaluating the
`
`results of said qualifying round.”
`
`b)
`
`The proper construction of the claim phrase “playing a game of
`
`skill in a qualifying round between a single player and the host
`
`computer.”
`
`c)
`
`The proper construction of the claim phrase “wherein said
`
`performance level award increases as a player qualifies for
`
`higher performance level classifications.”
