`
`Case No. IPR2016-01407
`
`
`PATENT OWNER REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Board’s Scheduling Order (Paper
`
`Patent No. 6,928,433
`IPR2016-01407
`
`
`
`
`14), Patent Owner Creative Technology Limited respectfully requests oral
`
`argument on the issues set forth below on August 29, 2017 at a time set by the
`
`Board.
`
`
`
`Patent Owner requests a 90-minute hearing, with 45 minutes of argument
`
`time for Patent Owner and 45 minutes of argument time for Petitioners. Patent
`
`Owner requests oral argument on all issues raised in the parties’ filings, including
`
`but not limited to the following:
`
`1. Whether claims 2, 3, 5, 7, and 17-28 of U.S. Patent No. 6,928,433 are
`
`unpatentable based on the grounds upon which the Board instituted
`
`trial;
`
`2. Whether Petitioners’ Reply contains arguments and evidence that are
`
`beyond the proper scope permitted under the rules;
`
`3. Any issues specified in Patent Owner’s motion for observations
`
`regarding cross-examination;
`
`4. Any issues specified by Petitioners in a request for oral argument;
`
`5. Rebuttal to Petitioners’ presentation on all matters; and
`
`6. Any issues otherwise raised by the Board.
`
`In the Board’s Scheduling Order (Paper 14), the Board indicated that the
`
`panel is available to hear the oral argument either in Denver, Colorado or in
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`Alexandria, Virginia. In general, Patent Owner prefers to hold the oral argument
`
`Patent No. 6,928,433
`IPR2016-01407
`
`
`in Denver because that location is more convenient than the Alexandria location
`
`for Patent Owner’s counsel and representatives who will be traveling to the oral
`
`argument from California. However, Patent Owner believes that the most
`
`important consideration is which location will enable more panel members to
`
`attend in person. Accordingly, Patent Owner requests that the oral argument be
`
`held at the location that will permit as many panel members as possible to attend in
`
`person. To the extent that an equal number of panel members could attend in
`
`person at both locations, then Patent Owner requests that the oral argument be held
`
`in Denver.
`
`Patent Owner also requests that the Board provide audio-visual equipment to
`
`display a demonstrative PowerPoint presentation. The requested equipment
`
`includes a projector to be connected to Patent Owner’s laptop computer, and a
`
`screen for displaying the projected image.
