`Case IPR2017-002221
`Patent 8,243,723
`
`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`Patent Owner Uniloc Luxembourg S.A. hereby requests oral argument
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.70 and the Scheduling Order (Paper 10) in this
`proceeding. Oral Argument is currently scheduled for February 8, 2018. Notably,
`the Board scheduled the oral argument for this matter and two related matters
`concerning the same parties and the same family of patents on the same day. See
`IPR2017-00221 (U.S. Patent No. 7,535,890) and IPR2017-00225 (U.S. Pat. No.
`
`
`1 Facebook, Inc. and WhatsApp, Inc., who filed a petition in IPR2017-01635, have
`been joined as petitioners in this proceeding.

`
`
`8,995,433). These three related are highly related and concern similar terms set
`forth within the same specification of this single family of patents. In addition, these
`matters concern overlapping references cited by the Petitioners. Patent Owner
`further notes that the parties previously agreed that it was appropriate to combine
`all three matters for purposes of the depositions taken during trial. Accordingly,
`Patent Owner submits it is appropriate to schedule a single oral argument for these
`three related matters.
`Patent Owner notes that Scheduling Order states “The parties are advised
`that oral argument, if requested, will be held in the Texas Regional Office in Dallas,
`TX.” Patent Owner requests that the oral argument be held at the Texas Regional
`Office, which is proximate to Patent Owner’s headquarters and its counsel.
`Patent Owner requests no more than 45 minutes per side of oral argument
`time in total for all three related matters. Patent Owner also requests permission to
`use audiovisual display equipment to present demonstratives,
`including a
`projector and screen
`for computer-generated slides, and a document
`camera/projector. Patent Owner expects to have three or four people at the hearing.
`Issues to be argued include:
`1.
`Any issues pertaining to the grounds on which this IPR was instituted.
`This may include, for example, the level of ordinary skill in the art, claim
`construction, the absence of elements in the prior art, and reasons/motivations to
`combine references.
`2.
`Any issues specified in the Petition.
`3.
`Any issues specified in Patent Owner’s Response.
