`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Scheduling Order dated April 25,
`
`2014 (Paper 11), as modified by the Notice dated September 11, 2014 (Paper 22),
`
`the Order dated October 29, 2014 (Paper 28), the Notice dated November 3, 2014
`
`(Paper 29), and the Order dated November 25, 2014 (Paper 32), Petitioner respect-
`
`fully requests oral argument, currently scheduled for January 27, 2015, and speci-
`
`fies the following issues to be argued:
`
`1. Why claims 20-24 of U.S. Patent No. 6,482,228 are anticipated by
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,454,799 to Schreck.
`
`2. Why claims 22 and 23 of U.S. Patent No. 6,482,228 are obvious over
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,454,799 to Schreck in view of U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,139,575 to Shu.
`
`3. Why Patent Owner’s Substitute Motion to Amend (Paper 18) should
`
`be denied.
`
`4. Any subsequent motion filed by Patent Owner.
`
`5. Any other issue the Board seeks clarification on related to this pro-
`
`ceeding.
`
`Petitioner requests the ability to use audio visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits, including the use of a projector and screen for PowerPoint
`
`display and an ELMO document camera/projector.
