`
`Patent Owner
`

`
`PETITIONER’S JOINT REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`Case IPR2014-00044
`
`Patent 6,771,290 B1
`
`Pursuant to 37 CPR. § 42.70(a), requiring a separate paper requesting oral
`
`argument and specifying issues to be argued, Petitioner Samsung Electronics
`
`America Inc. (“Samsung”) submits this Joint Request for Oral Argument. The
`
`Board has already scheduled the Oral Argument for December 11, 2014. Paper 12,
`
`p. 5 (Scheduling Order).
`
`Inter partes review nos. IPR2014-00029 (Sony), IPR2014-00031(Google),
`
`IPR2014-0033 (Google), IPR2014-00040 (Microsoft) and IPR2014-00044
`
`(Samsung) (“the ‘290 proceedings”), all challenge the patentability of claims in
`
`US. Patent No. 6,771,290. 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 identified below, that Patent Owner
`
`follow 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 request 90 minutes of argument time for Petitioners and 90
`
`minutes of argument time for Patent Owner to address the following issues:
`
`1.
`
`Grounds for which inter partes review was instituted as to claims 2-3
`
`of the ’290 patent in IPR2014-00029, Paper No. 7 (Institution Decision).
