`1 IPR2015-01366 has been joined with IPR2015-00412.
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and in accordance with the Scheduling Order
`
`
`
`of May 11, 2015 (Paper 13) and the stipulation of the parties to extend Due Date 4 to
`
`November 20, 2015 (Paper 28), Patent Owner hereby requests oral argument in this
`
`proceeding. Patent Owner requests that each side be given forty-five (45) minutes to
`
`present arguments.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner believes oral argument would be beneficial to discuss whether
`
`claims 1-8 and 12-14 of United States Patent No. 7,365,871 (“’871 Patent”) would
`
`have been obvious over McNelley (Exhibit 1006) and Umezawa (Exhibit 1007) and
`
`proper claim construction of disputed terms of the ‘871 Patent. Patent Owner further
`
`believes oral argument would be beneficial to respond to any arguments raised in
`
`Petitioner’s original petition (Paper 2) or reply (Paper 30) and discuss any other issues
`
`or matters that arise during Petitioner’s presentation at oral argument or that have
`
`arisen previously during this proceeding.
