`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 Case IPR2017-00806 has been consolidated with this proceeding. Case
`
`IPR2017-01688 has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`

`

`IPR2017-00176 & -00806
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s Scheduling Orders
`
`(IPR2017-00176, Paper 20; IPR2017-00806, Paper 20), Patent Owner
`
`respectfully requests oral argument on the issues raised in the Petitions for
`
`Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent 7,161,506, Patent Owner’s Preliminary
`
`Responses, Patent Owner’s Responses, and Petitioners’ Replies to Patent
`
`Owner’s Responses.
`
`Per the Board’s Scheduling Orders, oral argument is currently set for
`
`the same day in these proceedings and two related proceedings, IPR2017-
`
`00179 and -00808 challenging U.S. Patent No. 9,054,728. As discussed in
`
`more detail below, given the overlap of issues, the Parties agree that a single
`
`oral argument should be scheduled across all four proceedings.
`
`Patent Owner believes that, at that hearing, the Petitioners should
`
`make a single opening and rebuttal presentation, but may divide the time
`
`between the challenged patents and various Petitioner Parties as they see fit;
`
`similarly, Patent Owner will give a single response, but may divide its time
`
`between the challenged patents and Petitioner arguments as it sees fit. Patent
`
`Owner requests 45 minutes per side for the oral argument, but to the extent
`
`the Board wishes to allocate additional oral hearing time, Patent Owner does
`
`not object provided that Patent Owner receive corresponding additional
`
`time.

`

`IPR2017-00176 & -00806
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`The issues to be argued with respect to the ’506 patent are:
`
`• The instituted grounds of unpatentability, namely whether:
`
`o claims 104 and 105 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`in view of Franaszek, Hsu, and Sebastian;
`
`• Any issues identified in Petitioners’ Request for Oral Argument;
`
`• Rebuttal to Petitioners’ presentation on all matters;
`
`• Any other issues raised in papers filed in this proceeding, including
`
`issues raised in papers yet to be filed, such as Motions to Exclude; and
`
`• Any other outstanding motions and pleadings, and other issues that
`
`the Board deems necessary for issuing a Final Written Decision.
`
`Patent Owner also requests the ability to use audio visual equipment
`
`to display possible demonstratives and exhibits, including the use of a
`
`computer, projector, and screen.
`
`Coordination with Co-pending Realtime Data IPRs
`
`In addition, Patent Owner and Petitioner are parties to multiple IPRs
`
`for which oral arguments are currently scheduled to occur in February
`
`2018. First, IPR2017-00557 (with Petitioner Teradata Operations, Inc.)
`
`challenges U.S. Patent No. 7,358,867 B2 (“the ’867 IPR”). Second, both
`
`IPR2017-00176 (with Petitioners Dell Inc., EMC Corporation, Hewlett-
`
`Packard Enterprise Co., and Veritas Technologies LLC) and IPR2017-00806
`
`
`

`
`

`

`IPR2017-00176 & -00806
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`(with Petitioner Teradata Operations, Inc.) challenge U.S. Patent 7,161,506
`
`C2 (collectively “the ’506 IPRs”). The ’506 IPRs have been consolidated for
`
`briefing and scheduling by order of the Board. (IPR2017-00176, Paper 28).
`
`Third, both IPR2017-00179 (with Petitioners Dell Inc., EMC Corporation,
`
`Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Co., and Veritas Technologies LLC) and
`
`IPR2017-00808 (with Petitioner Teradata Operations, Inc.) challenge U.S.
`
`Patent 9,054,728 B2 (collectively “the ’728 IPRs”). The ’728 IPRs have also
`
`been consolidated for briefing and scheduling. (IPR2017-00179, Paper 29).
`
`Petitioners and Patent Owner agree that, given the overlap in issues among
`
`the four ’506 and ’728 IPRs, only one oral hearing is needed, provided that
`
`each side has at least 45 minutes of time for argument.
`
`The ’867 IPR is currently set for oral hearing on February 20, 2018.
`
`(IPR2017-00557, Paper 15). The remainder of the proceedings are set for
`
`oral hearing on February 26, 2018. (See IPR2017-00176, Paper 26;
`
`IPR2017-00176, Paper 28; IPR2017-00179, Paper 27; IPR2017-00179,
`
`Paper 29). For convenience and “the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution
`
`of” these proceedings, 37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b), and for the convenience of
`
`Patent Owner and Teradata and their counsel, the parties jointly request that
`
`the Board schedule both oral arguments to occur on February 20, 2018 (i.e.,
`
`one oral argument for IPR2017-00557, and a second, separate oral argument
`

`
`

`

`IPR2017-00176 & -00806
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`to cover IPR2017-00176, IPR2017-00179, IPR2017-00806, and IPR2017-
`
`00808). Patent Owner and all Petitioners in the above-identified IPRs have
`
`indicated that they agree to this request and intend to file a substantially
`
`similar request in their respective proceedings.
`
`If the Board cannot accommodate this request, Patent Owner and
`
`Petitioners will be prepared to proceed on the originally-scheduled hearing
`
`dates.
