`Patent 6,771,290 B1
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), requiring a separate paper requesting oral
`
`argument and specifying issues to be argued, Petitioner Google Inc. submits this
`
`joint Request for Oral Argument. The Board has already scheduled the Oral
`
`Argument for December 11, 2014. Paper 10, p. 5 (Scheduling Order).
`
`Inter partes review nos. IPR2014-00029 (Sony), IPR2014-00031(Google),
`
`IPR2014-0033 (Google), IPR2014-00040 (Microsoft) and IPR2014-00044
`
`(Samsung) all challenge the patentability of claims in U.S. Patent No. 6,771,290
`
`(“the ’290 Proceedings”). Accordingly, the petitioners of the ’290 Proceedings
`
`(“Petitioners”) are coordinating their efforts so that the Board can efficiently
`
`conduct a single hearing on these related proceedings. Petitioners propose that
`
`they jointly present argument on the issues as identified below, that Patent Owner
`
`follows with its response, and that Petitioners use their remaining time for rebuttal.
`
`Because some of the grounds in the five proceedings overlap and others do not,
`
`Petitioners plan to present their opening and rebuttal views through two designees,
`
`with other representatives offering additional views only if necessary.
`
`The Petitioners collectively request 90 minutes of argument time for
`
`Petitioners and 90 minutes of argument time for Patent Owner to address the
`
`following issues:
