`
`
`Case IPR2017-00222
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,243,723
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s May 25, 2017 Scheduling
`
`Order (Paper 8), Petitioner Apple Inc. respectfully requests oral argument, which is
`
`currently scheduled for February 8, 2018. The Board has also scheduled oral
`
`arguments for two additional inter partes review proceedings between the same
`
`parties on the same day: IPR2017-00221 (U.S. Patent No. 7,535,890) and
`
`IPR2017-00225 (U.S. Pat. No. 8,995,433). There are no overlapping issues,
`
`arguments, or claim scope between the three proceedings. So, Petitioner Apple Inc.
`
`requests the oral argument be held separately for each proceeding.
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. respectfully requests that the Board schedule an oral
`
`argument in this proceeding as follows:
`
`• 30 minutes per side for the oral argument (from 1:00 p.m. until
`
`approximately 2:00 p.m.), with Petitioner presenting first, Patent
`
`Owner responding, and Petitioner rebutting.
`
`Petitioner specifies the following issues to be argued:
`
`1. The unpatentability of claim 1 as being obvious over Vuori;
`
`2. The unpatentability of claims 2-7 as being obvious Vuori and Malik;
`
`3. Any issues specified by Patent Owner in its Request for Oral Argument; and
`
`4. Any other outstanding motions, pleadings, and other issues that the Board
`
`deems necessary for issuing a Final Written Decision.
