`Petitioner’s Request For Oral Argument
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, Petitioner Greene’s Energy Group, LLC
`
`
`
`
`
`(“Petitioner”) hereby requests oral argument in the above-captioned matters,
`
`IPR2014-00216 and IPR2014-00364, for the following issues:
`
`(i)
`
`whether Canadian Application 2,195,118 (“Dallas ’118”)
`
`anticipates claims 1 and 22 of U.S. Patent No. 6,179,053 (the “’053
`
`patent”);
`
`(ii)
`
`whether Patent Owner’s motion to amend claims 1 and 22 of the
`
`’053 patent should be granted;
`
`(iii)
`
`the instituted grounds of unpatentability for the challenged claims
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 6,289,993 (the “’993 patent”);
`
`(iv)
`
`any issue raised in Patent Owner’s reply to Petitioner’s opposition
`
`to the motion to amend, which has yet to be filed;
`
`(v)
`
`any issues raised in any motions for observation regarding cross-
`
`examination of reply witness or motions to exclude evidence,
`
`which have yet to be filed; and
`
`(vi)
`
`any other issue raised by either Patent Owner or the Board.
`
`Further, for both matters, the Board has scheduled oral argument for
`
`February 11, 2015. See Paper 13, p. 6. Petitioner also requests that it be allowed
`
`to use computer equipment to display demonstrative exhibits, including the use of
`
`a projector and screen for PowerPoint display.

`Petitioner’s Request For Oral Argument
`
`
`
`
`
`Last, the parties came to an agreement regarding a proposed schedule. The
`
`
`
`
`
`parties propose that each side be given a total of 90 minutes, which would be
`
`divided evenly amongst: (1) the ’053 patent petition; (2) the ’053 patent motion to
`
`amend; and (3) the ’993 patent petition. For each issue, the party bearing the
`
`burden of proof would open with 20 minutes of argument and reserve 10 minutes
`
`for reply arguments, and the opposing party would be given 30 minutes of rebuttal
`
`arguments. Accordingly, the parties propose the following schedule:
`
`(1) ’053 patent petition (total of 60 min.) – Petitioner argument (20 min.), Patent
`
`Owner rebuttal (30 min.), and Petitioner reply (10 min.);
`
`(2) ’053 patent motion to amend (total of 60 min.) – Patent Owner argument (20
`
`min.), Petitioner rebuttal (30 min.), and Patent Owner reply (10 min);
`
`(3) ’993 patent petition (total of 60 min.) – Petitioner argument (20 min.), Patent
`
`Owner rebuttal (30 min.), and Petitioner reply (10 min).
