`
`PETITIONER REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT

`IPR2018-01257
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,552,978
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Google LLC (“Petitioner”) hereby
`
`requests oral argument, currently scheduled for September 13, 2019. Because of the
`
`substantial overlap between the two cases, Petitioner agrees with Patent Owner that
`
`oral argument for this IPR should be combined with that for co-pending IPR2018-
`
`01258, regarding U.S. Patent 8,441,438, for which a separate request for oral
`
`argument is being concurrently submitted. A combined hearing would avoid the
`
`need to repeat argument on certain issues.
`
`Petitioner believes, however, that 100 minutes per side may be excessive,
`
`given the overlap between the two cases. Petitioner thus requests that each side have
`
`70 minutes total in a combined hearing, or 45 minutes total if argument are held
`
`separately.
`
`Petitioner requests argument on any issues present in the two proceedings,
`
`including the following issues and all subsidiary issues:
`
`(1) Obviousness of claims 10 and 12 of the ’978 patent and claims 1 and 3-5
`
`’438 patent over Zhang in view of Bachmann;
`
`(2) obviousness of claims 10 and 12 of the ’978 patent over Liberty in view
`
`of Bachmann;
`
`(3) obviousness of the proposed amended claims over Withanawasam and
`
`Bachmann and/or the knowledge of a person of skill in the art;
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01257
`U.S. Pat. No. 8,552,978
`(4) whether proposed amended claims are procedurally proper, are entitled to
`
`the benefit of earlier filing dates, and are supported by their specifications;
`
`(5) any motions to exclude evidence filed by either party;
`
`(6) the propriety of arguments made by Patent Owner in its sur-replies to the
`
`Petitions;
`
`(7) the Patent Owner’s challenge to the RPI designation and privity issues;
`
`and
`
`(8) any issues that arise from filings made after this date.
`
`Petitioner requests that the Board provide audio-visual equipment to display
`
`exhibits and demonstrative exhibits, including a projector to be connected to a laptop
`
`and a screen for displaying documents.
