`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00366
`U.S. Patent No. 6,012,007
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. hereby
`
`
`
`requests oral argument in Case IPR2016-00366, currently scheduled for February
`
`16, 2017. See Scheduling Orders, Paper 8 at p. 5.
`
`Petitioners specify the following issues to be argued, which are the only
`
`issues in controversy in this proceeding:
`
`1. Whether claims 17 and 21 of US 6,012,007 are patentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 102 over Schousek;
`
`2. Any issues raised in the Decision on Institution;
`
`3. Any issues addressed by Patent Owner during the IPR, including in its
`
`Preliminary Response (Paper 6) and its Patent Owner Response (Paper
`
`12);
`
`4. Any issues addressed by Petitioner during the IPR, including in its
`
`Petition (Paper 1) and its Reply (Paper 13), and in the testimony of its
`
`expert, Stephen Rouhana;
`
`5. Any issues raised by the Board at the oral argument.
`
`Patent Owner has requested 30 minutes of argument time in this IPR2016-
`
`00292 and 30 minutes of argument time in IPR2016-00366, and has also requested
`
`that the oral arguments in the two IPRs be consolidated because they involve the
`
`same challenged claims and prior art. See Paper 22 in IPR2016-00292; Paper 14 in
`
`IPR2016-00366. Petitioner respectfully submits that Patent Owner and Petitioner
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2016-00366
`U.S. Patent No. 6,012,007
`
`should receive the same amount of argument time. Therefore, if the Board does
`
`not consolidate the hearings in the two IPRs, Petitioner respectfully requests 30
`
`minutes of argument time, including rebuttal. If the Board consolidates the
`
`hearings in the two IPRs, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`collectively provide Petitioner in this IPR and the petitioner in IPR2016-00292
`
`with the same amount of argument time as the Board provides Patent Owner, and
`
`Petitioner will coordinate with the petitioner in IPR2016-0366 regarding the
`
`consolidated argument.
`
`Petitioner requests the ability to use a laptop projector, Elmo projector, and
`
`screen for the purposes of displaying demonstrative exhibits.
