`JOINT REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`1 The word-for-word identical paper is filed in each proceeding identified in the
`heading. IPR2016-00089 has been joined with IPR2015-01097; IPR2016-00091
`has been joined with IPR2015-01100; and IPR2016-00090 has been joined with
`IPR2015-01105. Each of these joined proceedings includes Petitioners
`InnoPharma Licensing, Inc., InnoPharma Licensing LLC, InnoPharma Inc., Mylan
`Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Mylan Inc. (collectively, “InnoPharma”), in addition to
`the parties identified above.
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`The Board tentatively scheduled oral hearing for IPR2015-01097, -01099, -
`
`01100, and -01105, which involve some common parties and related patents,
`
`namely U.S. Patent No. 8,669,290, U.S. Patent No. 8,751,131, U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,927,606, and U.S. Patent No. 8,871,813, for June 9, 2016. Paper 14.
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioners and Patent Owner (“the
`
`Parties”) request a consolidated oral hearing, two hours total, on the instituted
`
`grounds of unpatentability in each of the proceedings, including:
`
`• whether claims 1-30 of the ’131 patent are obvious over Ogawa and
`
`Sallmann;
`
`• whether claims 1-30 of the ’290 patent are obvious over Ogawa and
`
`Sallmann;
`
`• whether claims 1-30 of the ’606 patent are obvious over Sallmann and
`
`Ogawa; and
`
`• whether claims 1-27 of the ’813 patent are obvious over Sallmann and
`
`Ogawa.
`
`Patent Owner also requests oral hearing on any motions to exclude filed by
`
`either party. Petitioner does not believe oral hearing on any motions to exclude is
`
`necessary, but will be prepared to address any issues should the Board so desire.
`
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`The Parties request sixty minutes per side to address these issues. The
`
`Parties have agreed to the following sequential allocation of time periods during
`
`the argument: 45 minutes (Petitioners), sixty minutes (Patent Owner), and 15
`
`minutes (Petitioners). In the event the Board allocates more or less than sixty
`
`minutes per side, the Parties have agreed to scale these time periods accordingly.
`
`The Parties each request that two counsel at the counsel’s table be allowed to
`
`use their computers at the hearing (in addition to the counsel making the argument
`
`using his or her computer to show the demonstratives), to avoid the need for the
`
`parties to bring entire paper copies of the record into the hearing room and to
`
`facilitate efficient answering of panel questions.
`
`Petitioners request that ten spaces be reserved at the oral hearing to
`
`accommodate their counsel and corporate representatives. Patent Owner requests
`
`that ten spaces be reserved at the oral hearing to accommodate its counsel and
`
`corporate representatives. This paper is being filed by counsel for Patent Owner
`
`with the approval of Petitioners.
