`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`37 C.F.R. § 42.70
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01187
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s February 4, 2019 Scheduling Order (Paper 23), 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.70(a), and 35 U.S.C. § 316(a)(10), Petitioner respectfully requests oral
`
`argument on October 15, 2019.
`
`Consolidation of Oral Argument with IPR2018-01630
`This proceeding and IPR2018-01630 both challenge claims of the ’477
`
`patent and rely on substantially the same prior art. The claims at issue in the 1630
`
`IPR are all claims that depend from independent claims 1 and 20 that are at issue in
`
`this proceeding. In view of the overlap between the proceedings, Petitioner
`
`submits that a consolidated oral argument with each side granted 75 minutes of
`
`argument time is appropriate. The parties have met and conferred and Patent
`
`Owner does not object to consolidated oral argument or the proposed time
`
`allocation.
`
`Request for Oral Argument
`Petitioner requests (without any intent to waive consideration of any issue
`
`not requested) one hour for the Petitioner to address the following issues at the oral
`
`hearing:
`
`• Ground 1: Claims 1, 3-5, and 12-14 are obvious in view of Imai (Ex.
`
`1005);
`
`• Ground 2: Claims 1, 3-6, and 9-14 are obvious in view of Pauls (Ex.
`
`1007);
`
`
`
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01187
`
`• Ground 3: Claims 1, 3-6, and 9-14 are obvious in view of Imai (Ex.
`
`1005) and Pauls (Ex. 1007); and
`
`• Ground 4: Claims 2, 11, 20-22, and 25-27 are rendered obvious by
`
`Imai (Ex. 1005) in view of Pauls (Ex. 1007) and Chao (Ex. 1016).
`
`Petitioner requests the ability to reserve a portion of its total time for
`
`presenting rebuttal arguments after Patent Owner’s presentation. Petitioner
`
`additionally requests that the Board provide audio-visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits, including a projector to be connected to a laptop, and a
`
`document camera for displaying documents of record. In accordance with the Trial
`
`Practice Guide, Fed. Reg. Vol. 77, No. 157, at 48768, Petitioner will contact the
`
`Board Trial Division paralegal to discuss this request.
`
`In the event that the Board sets a consolidated oral argument, Petitioner
`
`requests 75 minutes of total time to address the issues identified in this request for
`
`oral argument along with the issues identified in the request for oral argument that
`
`is being separately filed in IPR2018-01630.
`
`This Request is timely, being filed on August 22, 2019.
`
`Date: August 22, 2019
