`
`
`
`Case IPR2015-00739
`Patent RE42,678
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board's August 25, 2015 Scheduling
`
`Order (Paper 8), Patent Owner Capella Photonics, Inc. respectfully requests oral
`
`argument, which is currently scheduled for May 24, 2016. Patent Owner provides
`
`the following requests for efficient oral hearings across IPR2015-00726, -00727, -
`
`00731, and -007392:
`
` At least 60 minutes per side for the oral argument;
`
` A single oral hearing for all four inter partes review proceedings
`
`because all four of these IPR proceedings involve: the same panel of
`
`judges (APJs Cocks, Deshpande, and Tartal), the same patent owner
`
`(Capella), the same primary applied reference (Bouevitch), and
`
`generally the same set of arguments and evidence;
`
` A shared oral hearing transcript for all four inter partes review
`
`proceedings;
`
` The parties can allot the amount of time that is appropriate across the
`
`60 minutes to argue each of the four cases;
`
` The parties can assign different attorneys to argue different cases and
`
`different issues during the allotted time;
`
`
`2 Petitioners Lumentum and Fujitsu confirmed they will oppose Patent
`
`Owner’s proposed oral hearing format.
