`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-00811
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Apple Inc. respectfully submits
`
`this Request for an Oral Hearing. In its scheduling order, the Board has set the
`
`date of an oral hearing in this proceeding for June 8, 2016. See Paper 9. Petitioner
`
`notes with appreciation the Board’s order authorizing Petitioner’s backup counsel
`
`to represent Petitioner at the Oral Hearing, subject to the requirements set forth in
`
`that order. See Paper 33.
`
`Given the significant overlap of issues between IPR2015-00810, IPR2015-
`
`00811, and IPR2015-00812, Petitioners request that the Board authorize the parties
`
`to present their arguments for all three proceedings in a single hearing (e.g., that
`
`Petitioner present its opening argument on all three proceedings, followed by
`
`Patent Owner’s arguments on all three proceedings, and Petitioner’s responsive
`
`arguments for all three proceedings). Also, to accommodate hearing argument on
`
`all three proceedings, Petitioner requests 60 minutes of total argument time for
`
`each party.
