`
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No.: IPR2014-00904
`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0104IPR1
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner, Ford Motor Company submits
`
`this Request for Oral Argument on all of the instituted grounds of unpatentability
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 7,237,634.
`
`The Board has already scheduled the Oral Hearing for IPR2014-00904 as
`
`well as for the following related IPRs on July 1, 2015:
`
`1. IPR2014-00570 (USPN 8,214,097)
`
`2. IPR2014-00571 (USPN 7,104,347)
`
`3. IPR2014-00579 (USPN 7,104,347)
`
`4. IPR2014-00875 (USPN 7,559,388)
`
`5. IPR2014-00884 (USPN 7,104,347)
`
`Concerning the total oral hearing time for the above six IPRs, the Petitioner
`
`and the Patent Owner jointly propose a total of 3.5 hours per side, which averages
`
`to only 35 minutes per IPR. Additionally, the Board indicated in an order for
`
`related later-filed IPRs (see, e.g. IPR2015-00606, Paper 9, pp. 2-3) that the above
`
`IPRs may impact those later-filed IPRs, so the parties would appreciate whatever
`
`time the Board can grant.
`
`Concerning procedure, the parties also believe it would be helpful to group
`
`these IPRs into three groups, and finish one group before beginning the next. The
`
`parties agree on the following groups:
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No.: IPR2014-00904
`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0104IPR1
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`IPR2014-00571 (‘347 Patent) and IPR2014-00904 (‘634 Patent)
`
`IPR2014-00579 (‘347 Patent) and IPR2014-00884 (‘347 Patent)
`
`IPR2014-00570 (‘097 Patent) and IPR2014-00875 (‘388 Patent)
`
`Without intent to waive consideration of any issue not requested, Petitioner
`
`requests oral argument on the following issues for IPR2014-00904:
`
`1. Whether Patent Owner’s proposed claim construction for “setpoint”
`
`should be rejected;
`
`2. Whether claims 1, 14, 16, 18, and 24 of the ’634 Patent are obvious
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in view of Severinsky, SAE, and Field;
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`Any motion filed by Patent Owner, including any motion to exclude;
`
`Any argument not specifically identified that is raised by Patent
`
`Owner at oral argument; and
`
`5.
`
`Any issue that the Board requests.
`
`
`
`
`
`Dated: June 9, 2015

`
`
`
