`
`Owner requests a 1PM ET start time and three hours (90 minutes per side) to

`address the following issues in both IPR2017-00136 and IPR2017-00137:
`
`1. The construction of certain terms of (a) U.S. Pat. No. 8,641,525 (“the ‘525
`
`Patent”), which is the subject of the IPR2017-00136 proceeding, and
`
`(b) U.S. Pat. No. 9,089,770 (“the ‘770 Patent”), which is the subject of the
`
`IPR2017-00137 proceeding;
`
`2. For IPR2017-00136, the patentability of challenged claim 20 of the ‘525
`
`Patent over the Wörn reference.
`
`3. For IPR2016-00949, the patentability of the challenged claims 1-4, 12, 15-
