`PATENT OWNER NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF REQUEST FOR

`
`
`
`PATENT OWNER NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF REQUEST FOR
`ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`On March 30, 2015, the Board issued an order (Paper 11) setting November
`
`16, 2015, as Due Date 4, the date by which the parties may request an oral
`
`argument. Pursuant to that order, Patent Owner previously filed a request for an
`
`oral argument on November 16, 2015.
`
`In the email correspondence of December 1, 2015, the Board requested that
`
`Petitioner indicate whether it plans to attend the oral hearing. The parties
`
`discussed the matter over the phone on December 2, 2015, and agreed that an oral
`
`argument would likely be unnecessary. This conversation was also summarized in
`
`Petitioner’s email correspondence to the Board on December 3, 2015.
`
`In light of this, the Board has requested Patent Owner to file a notice of
`
`withdrawal of its request for an oral hearing for consolidated cases IPR2014-01536
`
`and IPR2015-00119. Patent Owner respectfully submits this notice to withdraw
`
`the previous request for an oral argument, thereby complying with the Board’s
`
`request.
`
`The Patent Trial and Appeal Board is hereby authorized to charge any fees
`
`associated with consolidated Inter Partes Review Nos. 2014-01536 and IPR2015-
`
`00119 of U.S. Patent No. 8,690,057 to Deposit Account No. 13-2855, under Order
`
`No. 31440/10014.
