`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Board’s Scheduling Order (Paper
`
`16), the Patent Owner requests oral argument, which is currently scheduled for
`
`December 18, 2014. The Patent Owner expects to argue the following issues at the
`
`oral argument:
`
`(1) Whether the Petitioner has met its burden to show that Hathorn
`
`anticipates claims 1-3 and 5-8 of the ’346 Patent.
`
`(2) Claim interpretations relevant to issue (1), including, for example, the
`
`interpretation of “RAID,” “RAID Controlling Unit,” “First RAID
`
`Controlling Units,” “Second RAID Controlling Unit,” “Network
`
`Controlling Unit,” and “Hub.”
`
`The Patent Owner requests one hour of argument time to address these
`
`issues.
`
`The Patent Owner also kindly requests that the Board provide a projector
`
`and screen for use during the oral argument.
