`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Patent Owner submits this Request for
`
`Oral Argument on all of the instituted grounds of unpatentability of claims
`
`16-19 of U. S. Patent No. 6,482,228 under 35 U.S.C. § 102. The Board has
`
`already scheduled Oral Hearing for January 27, 2015 (Paper 28). Patent Owner
`
`respectfully requests that the Board provide Patent Owner with 30 minutes in
`
`which to present its arguments in response to Petitioner’s arguments in this
`
`case.1
`
`Patent Owner requests to address the following issues, without waiving
`
`consideration of any issue not listed below:
`
`1. Whether Patent Owner has met his burden of proving he is
`
`entitled to a date of invention prior to U. S. Patent No. 6,440,164 to DiMatteo
`
`(“DiMatteo”).
`
`2. Whether Petitioner has met its burden of proving that
`
`DiMatteo anticipates claims 16-19 of the ’228 Patent.
`
`3. Whether Petitioner has met its burden of proving that U. S.
`
`Patent No. 4,030,142 to Wolfe anticipates claims 16-18 of the ’228 Patent.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Patent Owner is requesting, in concurrent filings, an additional 30 minutes of oral
`argument in Case No. IPR2014-00111 and in Case No. IPR2014-00395, for 90
`minutes of oral argument total.
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`4. Whether Patent Owner has met his burden of proving that
`
`proposed substitute claim 25 is patentable over prior art.
