`U.S. Patent No. 7,643,168 B2
`
`NOTICE OF PATENT OWNER E-WATCH, INC. REGARDING ORAL
`ARGUMENT
`
`Mail Stop
`Patent Board
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
`P.O. Box 1450
`Alexandria, VA 22313-1450
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.70(a) and in accordance with the Scheduling Order of
`
`July 1,2015 (Paper 14at7), Patent Owner does not believeoral argument is necessary.
`
`The only issue in this proceeding involves whether a priority claim to an earlier filed
`
`patent application was properly perfected. Because this involves a legal issuerelated to
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office procedure, the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Boardis well-equippedto make this determination basedon the submitted briefingsand
`
`its own knowledge ofthe priority claiming requirements.
`
`While Patent Owner does not believe oral argument is necessary, to the extent
`
`Petitioner requests oral argument and the Board grants the request, Patent Owner
`
`requests an equal amount of time to present its positions. Because the only issue
`
`involves perfection of a priority claim, Patent Owner suggests that if oral argument is
`
`granted, it shouldbe limitedto 30 minutes perside.
