`Case IPR2015-01941
`Patent 8,065,156
`
`
`I.
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s March 23, 2016 Scheduling Order (Paper 8),
`
`Patent Owner West View Research, LLC respectfully requests oral argument
`
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, currently scheduled for December 1, 2016. Patent
`
`owner requests oral argument on all of the instituted grounds of unpatentability of
`
`claims 11, 15, and 22 of U.S. Patent No. 8,065,156 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).
`
`Specifically and without limitation, the following issues are to be argued:
`
`
`A. Whether any portions of the sole independent claim (Claim 10) of the
`
`‘156 Patent (and accordingly one or more claims depending therefrom)
`
`should be interpreted under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6, and petitioners alleged
`
`failure to provide any structural analysis therefor.
`
`B.
`
` Petitioner’s alleged presumption and use of allegedly unreasonable
`
`claim constructions, including those relating to “digitized representations.”
`
`C.
`
`Petitioner’s proposed reasons for combining the teachings of the
`
`references allegedly relying on impermissible hindsight.
