`
`IPR2017-01667
`U.S. Patent No. 8,724,622
`
`In a joint scheduling order, the Board tentatively scheduled an oral hearing
`
`for IPR2017-01667 and IPR2017-01668 on August 30, 2018. (Paper 9) Pursuant to
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioners (Facebook, WhatsApp Inc., Huawei Device Co.,
`
`Ltd. and LG Electronics, Inc.) request a consolidated oral hearing on all grounds of
`
`unpatentability raised in IPR2017-01667 and IPR2017-01668.2 Petitioners also
`
`request oral hearing on any issues raised by Patent Owner in its Request for Oral
`
`Hearing, any procedural or evidentiary issues raised by the parties, and any
`
`additional issues or questions raised by the Board or the parties before or during
`
`the oral argument.
`
`Petitioners request fifteen minutes of time to address these issues. To the
`
`extent the Board schedules the hearing to last more than thirty minutes, however,
`
`Petitioners request that they be given half the length of the hearing to address these
`
`issues.
`
`Petitioners further request that they be permitted to speak first at oral
`
`argument as the parties bearing the burden of showing the unpatentability of the
`
`challenged claims, and that they be permitted to reserve time for rebuttal following
`
`Patent Owner’s allotted argument time.
`
`Petitioners request that the oral hearing in this proceeding be held in the
`
`Texas Regional Office in Dallas, Texas, as indicated in the joint scheduling order
`
`2 LG and Huawei are Petitioners only in the IPR2017-01667 IPR and do not object
`to a consolidated hearing with IPR2017-01668.

`U.S. Patent No. 8,724,622
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners request that a total of seven spaces be reserved at the oral hearing for
`
`Petitioners, to accommodate counsel for each of the Petitioners and their corporate
`
`representatives.
`
`Petitioners also request that two attorneys at Petitioners' counsel’s table be
`
`allowed to use computers at the hearing (in addition to the counsel making the
`
`argument using his or her computer to show the demonstratives) because
`
`arguments will be presented by two different Petitioners and to avoid the need for
`
`the parties to bring entire paper copies of the record into the hearing room and to
`
`facilitate efficient answering of panel questions.
`
`Petitioners further request the use of audio-visual equipment suitable to
`
`display papers of record and demonstrative exhibits, including a computer-
`
`connectable projector, an ELMO, and a screen. Petitioners further request the
`
`services of a court reporter to transcribe the proceeding.
