`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 ARRIS Group, Inc., who filed a Petition in IPR2017-00422, has been joined in
`this proceeding.
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`IPR2016-01007
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner hereby request an oral
`
`hearing in the present inter partes review. Per the Board’s Scheduling Order, the
`
`oral hearing is scheduled for August 3, 2017. See Order, Paper 9, at 8.
`
`1. Request to Consolidate Cases for Oral Hearing
`
`The Board’s Scheduling Order aligned the schedules of six related inter
`
`partes review proceedings. See Order, Paper 9. Because of overlapping subject
`
`matter and issues, and to expedite the proceedings, Petitioner requests that these
`
`cases be set for oral hearing in two groups, as follows:
`
`“Diagnostic/Test” cases
` IPR2016–01006 (Patent 7,835,430)
` IPR2016–01007 (Patent 8,432,956) (this proceeding)
` IPR2016–01008 (Patent 8,238,412)
` IPR2016–01009 (Patent 8,238,412)
`
`“Phase Scrambling” cases
` IPR2016–01020 (Patent 9,014,243)
` IPR2016–01021 (Patent 8,718,158)
`
`For the “Diagnostic/Test” cases (including this case), Petitioner respectfully
`
`requests a single consolidated oral hearing, with each side having 40 minutes to
`
`present.
`
`2. Issues to be Presented During Oral Hearing
`
`During the oral hearing, Petitioner requests the opportunity to present oral
`
`argument on all of the issues raised in the papers pertaining to the instituted
`
`2
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`IPR2016-01007
`
`grounds, including:
`
` Claim construction of the terms “subchannel” and “during Showtime”
`
` Milbrandt teaches “power level per subchannel information”
`
` Milbrandt in combination with ANSI T1.413 renders obvious “Signal
`to Noise Ratio per subchannel during Showtime”
`
` Milbrandt in combination with ANSI T1.413 renders obvious that “the
`power level per subchannel information is based on a Reverb signal”
`
`3. Conclusion
`
`
`
`
`
`If the Board has any questions or comments, the undersigned attorney
`
`respectfully requests a telephone conference. No fees are believed to be required
`
`for filing this request; however, the Commissioner is authorized to charge any
`
`required fees, or credit any overpayment, to Haynes and Boone, LLP's Deposit
`
`Account No. 08-1394.
