`
`IPR2018-00111

`
`
`Patent Owner, Fundamental Innovation Systems International LLC
`
`("Fundamental"), requests oral argument under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s
`
`May 10, 2018 Scheduling Order (Paper 19). Oral argument is currently scheduled
`
`for February 5, 2019. (Paper 19, Due Date 7.)
`
`Fundamental requests a morning hearing time (9 a.m. EST) as feasible.
`
`Fundamental requests 90 minutes to present its arguments on IPR2018-00111, a
`
`request that Petitioner does not object. Fundamental also does not object if
`
`Petitioner similarly requests 90 minutes to present its arguments. Fundamental
`
`also requests the ability to use audio-visual equipment for demonstrative exhibits,
`
`including the use of a projector and screen for PowerPoint slides.
`
`Fundamental specifies the following issues to be argued, without intent to
`
`waive consideration of any allowable issue not requested or raised by Petitioner:
`
`1. Whether Petitioner named all real parties-in-interest in the Petition;
`
`2. Whether claims 1-3, 9-12 and 18 of U.S. Patent No. 8,624,550 ("the
`
`'550 patent") are obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) in light of U.S.
`
`Pat. No. 6,556,564 ("Rogers," Ex. 1005); and
`
`3. Whether claims 4-8 and 13-17 of the '550 patent are obvious under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 103(a) in light of Rogers (Ex. 1005) and U.S. Pat. No.
`
`6,625,738 ("Shiga," Ex. 1006).

`
`
`Petitioner is the party with the burden of proof and will therefore present
`
`first at the oral hearing. Fundamental will address any issues raised by Petitioner,
`
`or questions raised by the Board during Petitioner's presentation.
