`Pursuant to the Board’s Scheduling Order of January 6, 2015 (Paper 10 at 5),
`
`Petitioner requests oral argument be held on August 19, 2015. See 37 C.F.R. §

`
`time for its presentation and an additional twenty minutes of time for rebuttal.
`
`Petitioner specifies the following issues to be argued:
`
`1) Whether Claims 1, 2, and 20 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`
`based on Ciarcia and Hastreiter.
`
`2) Whether Patent Owner’s expert testimony from Alex Cook is unreliable.
`
`3) Whether Alex Cook’s testimony should be excluded on the grounds
`
`specified in Petitioner’s objections and later motions to exclude, if any.
`
`4) The proper claim construction for the “code data” term.
`
`5) Petitioner’s response to any arguments specified by Patent Owner in a
`
`request for oral argument.
