`
`Opposition to the Motion to Amend, and Patent Owner’s Reply in Support of the
`
`Motion to Amend, including:
`
`• DiGioia’s qualification as prior art;
`
`• The obviousness of claims 1-15 and 17 in light of the DiGioia prior art
`
`reference;
`
`• The obviousness of claim 16 in light of the combination of both DiGioia
`
`prior art references;
`
`• Patent Owner’s failure to distinguish its proposed amended claims over the
`
`material prior art of record; and
`
`• The obviousness of the proposed amended claims in light of the prior art of
`
`record.
`
`Mako also requests an opportunity to present arguments on any issues raised
`
`by the Patent Owner at Oral Argument, and any additional issues on which the
