`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Scheduling Order (Paper 11), as

`
`Petitioners request forty-five minutes of argument time, including rebuttal,
`
`and specify, without waiving any issue not specified, the following issues to be

`
`being obvious over the cited prior art; (2) any issue specified by Patent Owner in
`
`its Request for Oral Argument; and (3) any other issue the Board deems necessary
`
`for issuing a final written decision.
`
`Petitioners respectfully request the ability to use audio/visual equipment to
`
`display demonstrative exhibits and evidence of record, including the use of a
