`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT UNDER 37
`C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`Patent Owner, Aplix IP Holdings Corporation, requests oral argument
`
`
`
`
`
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70. Pursuant to the Scheduling Order entered June 22,
`
`2015 (Paper 12), Patent Owner respectfully requests two and a half hours of oral
`
`argument, in total, for the proceedings currently scheduled for hearing on January
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,218,313
`
`IPR2015-00533
`
`
`19, 2016.1 Patent Owner specifies the following issues, without waiving other
`
`issues, to be argued:
`
`1. Petitioner cites no evidence of obviousness for claims 37-39 and 49;
`
`2. Person of ordinary skill in the art;
`
`3. Hedberg does not qualify as prior art for an obviousness determination since
`
`it is not analogous to the ’313 patent;
`
`4. Pallakoff and Ishihara do not render claims 15 and 20 unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious;
`
`5. Pallakoff, Ishihara, and Liebenow do not render claim 16 unpatentable under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious;
`
`
`1 The Board has scheduled hearings for January 19, 2016, in five proceedings:
`
`IPR2015-00229 (’692 patent)
`
`IPR2015-00230 (’245 patent)
`
`IPR2015-00396 (’313 patent)
`
`IPR2015-00476 (’313 patent)
`
`IPR2015-00533 (’313 patent)
`
`Patent Owner requests 2 ½ hours for its presentation regarding all of these
`
`proceedings, which would be the equivalent of affording each proceeding
`
`approximately 30 minutes. Patent Owner anticipates that some proceedings may
`
`require more or less time within the 2 ½ hours.
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,218,313
`
`IPR2015-00533
`
`
`
`6. Liebenow and Ishihara do not render claims 37-42, 46, and 49 unpatentable
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious;
`
`7. Liebenow and Armstrong do not render claims 44, 45, 47, and 48
`
`unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious;
`
`8. Liebenow and Hedberg do not render claims 50 and 51 unpatentable under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious;
`
`9. Secondary considerations show that the ’313 patent’s claims are not
`
`obvious;
`
`10. Petitioner’s Expert Declarations of Gregory F. Welch (Exhibits 1008 and
`
`1042);
`
`11. Response to arguments raised in Petitioner’s Reply;
`
`12. Response to any issues specified by Petitioner in its request for oral
`
`argument; and
`
`13. Any other issues briefed or presented by the parties throughout this trial.
`
`Finally, Aplix requests authorization to use audio-visual equipment—a
`
`projector and screen—at the hearing for displaying demonstrative exhibits.
