`

`
`Patent Owner Request for Oral Argument Case IPR2015-00554
`Patent 7,668,730
`
`Patent Owner, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. hereby requests that oral argument
`
`be held before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) pursuant to
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s July 28, 2015 Scheduling Order (Paper 20). As
`
`set forth in its Order, the Board has currently scheduled the oral hearing for
`
`April 19, 2016. This request encompasses each of the issues addressed in
`
`Petitioners’ Petition (as applicable after institution) and Reply, Patent Owner’s
`
`Response, and all exhibits thereto, including declarations and depositions. The
`
`specific issues Patent Owner wishes to address are set forth below, without waiver
`
`or prejudice.
`
`ISSUES TO BE ARGUED
`
`1. Whether Petitioners have met their burden of proving that the ACA
`
`Materials (Exs. 1003-1006) qualify as prior art.
`
`2.
`
`Claim construction – The proper construction of the following terms:
`
`a.
`
`b.
`
`“generating with the computer processor periodic reports via
`
`the exclusive computer database to evaluate potential diversion
`
`patterns”;
`
`“the prescription requests [for GHB] containing information
`
`identifying patients”; and
`
`
`
`

`
`
`c.
`
`“the prescription requests [for GHB] containing information
`
`identifying . . . various credentials of the any and all [medical
`
`doctors/authorized prescribers]”.
`
`3. Whether Petitioners’ Reply contains improper reply evidence and
`
`arguments.
`
`4. Whether Petitioners have met their burden of proving the challenged
`
`claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,668,730 (Ex. 1001) unpatentable as
`
`obvious over the ACA Materials (Exs. 1003-1006).
`
`Jazz’s and Petitioners’ Motion(s) to Exclude Evidence, if any.
`
`Responses to any issues raised by Petitioners in their Request for Oral
`
`Argument or at the oral hearing.
`
`Any other issues that the Board deems necessary for issuing a final
`
`5.
`
`6.
`
`7.
`
`written decision.
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board provide audio-visual
`
`equipment to display demonstrative exhibits, including a projector and screen.
`
`Finally, Jazz notes that the patent-at-issue in this IPR is related to patents
`
`currently being review in IPR2015-00545, -546, -547, -548, and -551. As these
`
`proceedings have certain overlapping issues, Jazz respectfully requests a combined
`
`hearing for all six proceedings, with 90 minutes of oral argument time per side in
`
`the combined oral hearing. The Board has already scheduled April 19, 2016 as the
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`Patent Owner Request for Oral Argument Case IPR2015-00554
`Patent 7,668,730
`
`
`hearing date for all six IPRs. Further, as the parties agreed, and subject to the
`
`Board’s approval, Jazz respectfully requests that it be able to prepare and file one
`
`set of demonstratives for all six proceedings. The parties propose that the
`
`demonstratives cite: (1) IPR2015-00548’s pleadings and exhibits for issues
`
`common across all six IPRs; and (2) the other proceedings’ pleadings and exhibits
`
`only when necessary to address issues specific to those proceedings.
