`
`
`Case IPR2013-00364
`Patent 6,883,446 B2
`
`We previously granted Patent Owner’s request for oral argument, and set
`oral argument for June 25, 2014, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. See Paper 26.
`Petitioner also filed a request for oral argument (Paper 25), but the request
`contained unauthorized arguments, and we expunged it. We authorized Petitioner
`to file a replacement request, which it did. See Paper 27. Petitioner’s request for
`oral argument, dated June 4, 2014 (Paper 27), is granted.
`The issues identified in Petitioner’s and Patent Owner’s granted requests for
`oral argument may be argued within the times previously allotted to the parties.
`See Paper 26 (“Petitioner will proceed first. Thereafter, Patent Owner will
`respond. Petitioner may reserve rebuttal time. Each party will have sixty (60)
`minutes of total time to present arguments.”).
