`Case IPR2016-00822
`U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, Patent Owner Enzo Life Sciences, Inc.
`
`(“Enzo”) respectfully requests oral argument for Case IPR2016-00822, which oral
`
`argument is currently scheduled for June 1, 2017. Enzo anticipates that it will
`
`present oral argument on the following issues:
`
`1.
`
`Claims 17, 19, 25, 105, 106, 114, 116, 119, 128, 129, 150, 152, 178,
`
`180, 186, and 187 of U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197 (“the ’197 Patent”)
`
`are not anticipated by Fish.
`
`2.
`
`Claims 130, 131, 151, and 154 of the ‘197 Patent are not obvious over
`
`Fish.
`
`3.
`
`Claims 120 and 189 of the ’197 Patent are not obvious over Fish,
`
`Metzgar, and Sato.
`
`4.
`
`Claims 113 and 185 of the ’197 Patent are not obvious over Fish and
`
`Gilham.
`
`5.
`
`6.
`
`VPK is not prior art to the challenged claims of the ’197 Patent.
`
`Claims 17, 19, 25, 105, 106, 114, 119, 120, 128, 129, 131, 150, 151,
`
`152, 178, 180, 186, and 189 of the ’197 Patent are not obvious over
`
`VPK and Metzgar.
`
`7.
`
`Claims 113, 116, 130, 154, 185, and 187 of the ’197 Patent are not
`
`obvious over VPK, Noyes, Metzgar, and Ramachandran.

`U.S. Patent No. 7,064,197
`
`Enzo also anticipates that it will present oral argument to rebut Petitioners’
`
`arguments.
`
`
`
`Enzo respectfully proposes consolidating oral argument in this proceeding
`
`with oral argument in related matter Case IPR2016-00820, which involves the
`
`same patent and many of the same issues. Enzo also respectfully proposes that
`
`each side receive 45 minutes in total to present its arguments in the consolidated
`
`oral argument.
`
`
`
`Finally, Enzo requests the use of audio-visual equipment to display
`
`demonstratives and exhibits, including the use of a computer, ELMO presenter,
`
`projector, and screen.
