`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Cases IPR2016-01191, IPR2016-01337, and IPR2016-01343 have been joined
`
`with the instant proceeding.
`
`

`

`Case IPR 2016-00240
`Patent 7,772,209
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Notice of Stipulation Concerning
`
`Scheduling filed on January 23, 2017, Paper 53, Patent Owner Eli Lilly &
`
`Company (“Lilly”) respectfully requests that the Board hear oral argument on all
`
`instituted grounds of unpatentability in this proceeding. Lilly requests that the
`
`Board hear combined oral argument in IPRs 2016-00237, -00240, and -00318
`
`simultaneously. Lilly further requests that one hour of total argument time per side
`
`be allotted. That is, Lilly proposes that Neptune and Sandoz be granted a total of
`
`one hour to present argument, to be divided between them as they choose, and
`
`Lilly be allotted one hour to address Neptune’s and Sandoz’s arguments.
`
`Proceeding in this manner is justified because these proceedings involve the same
`
`patent and the issues in these proceedings, as the briefing has progressed, have
`
`become substantially similar to one another. For example, Lilly’s concurrently-
`
`filed sur-reply is identical in all three proceedings. Lilly respectfully submits that
`
`conducting separate oral arguments between Neptune and Lilly and then Sandoz
`
`and Lilly, as we understand Petitioners will suggest, will be unnecessarily
`
`duplicative and inefficient given the significant similarities in Neptune and
`
`Sandoz’s positions.
`
`Lilly respectfully requests that the Board provide audio/visual equipment to
`
`display demonstrative exhibits and evidence of record from a laptop, including a
`
`projector and screen for displaying documents. Given the number of parties
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case IPR 2016-00240
`Patent 7,772,209
`involved, Lilly further requests that the Board assign this hearing to Hearing Room
`
`A.
