`
`jointly request an opportunity to present oral argument regarding the patentability
`
`of the instituted claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,504,746 (“the ’746 patent”).
`
`Between these parties, there are a total of eight IPRs involving the ’746
`
`patent and U.S. Patent No. 8,966,144 (“the ’144 patent”) with oral argument dates
`
`scheduled for either September 13 or 14, 2017. The Scheduling Order for
`
`IPR2016-01199, IPR2016-01212, IPR2016-01214, IPR2016-01216, and IPR2016-
`
`01225 relating to the ’144 patent sets any oral argument for September 13, 2017,
`
`and the Scheduling Orders for IPR2016-01200, IPR2016-01211, and IPR2016-
`
`01213 regarding the ’746 patent set any oral argument for September 14, 2017.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Such a schedule will require the Board and the parties to address the same primary
`
`Case No. IPR2016-01211
`Patent No. 8,504,746
`
`
`prior art references (i.e., Kawaguchi, Aytac, McNeill, and Yamamoto) on different
`
`days.
`
`The parties believe oral argument can proceed more efficiently by grouping
`
`the IPRs so that the same primary prior art references are addressed the same day.
`
`Consequently, the parties propose that oral argument proceed as follows:
`
`Hearing on September 13, 2017
`
`
`
`
`
`Argument on IPR2016-01211, IPR2016-01212, and IPR2016-01216 (“the
`Kawaguchi IPRs”) (one hour per side, collectively, for all three IPRs).
`
`Argument on IPR2016-01225 (“the McNeill IPR”) (30 minutes per side).
`
`Hearing on September 14, 2017
`
`
`
`
`
`Argument on IPR2016-01199 and IPR2016-01200 (“the Aytac IPRs”) (45
`minutes per side, collectively, for both IPRs).
`
`Argument on IPR2016-01213 and IPR2016-01214 (“the Yamamoto IPRs”)
`(45 minutes per side, collectively, for both IPRs).
`
`The parties request (without waiving consideration of any issue not listed
`
`below) that the oral hearing for IPR2016-01211 address the following issue:
`
`
`
`The patentability of the instituted claims based on combinations of
`references that include Kawaguchi.
`
`The parties request to use audio/visual equipment to display demonstrative
`
`exhibits, including the use of a projector and screen for a PowerPoint display. In
`
`

`
`

`

`accordance with the Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. at 48768, Patent Owner
