`PETITIONERS’ NOTICE REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`

`Case IPR2015-01414 has been consolidated with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners Valeo North America, Inc. (previously Valeo, Inc.), Valeo S.A.,
`
`Valeo GmbH, Valeo Schalter und Sensoren GmbH, and Connaught Electronics
`
`Ltd. (collectively, “Valeo”) do not believe that an oral argument is necessary in the
`
`above captioned proceeding. But to the extent the Board orders an oral argument
`
`at the request of Patent Owner, Valeo will participate in such argument with
`
`respect to the following issues: (1) whether claims 1, 3–12, 14, 15, 17, 19–52, 54–
`
`67, 69–79, and 81–86 of U.S. Patent No. 8,643,724 are unpatentable over the
`
`applied art; (2) any issues specified by Patent Owner in its Request for Oral
`
`Argument; and (3) any other issues that the Board deems necessary for issuing a
`
`final written decision.
`
`
`
`If the Board orders an oral hearing at the request of Patent Owner, Valeo
`
`also requests the ability to use audio visual equipment to display possible
`
`demonstratives and exhibits, including the use of a computer, projector, and screen.
