`Petitioner Neptune Generics, LLC (“Neptune”) respectfully requests the oral
`
`argument as currently scheduled in IPR2018-01494 (“the 494 IPR”) for November
`
`19, 2019. Without intending to waive any issue not specifically identified, Neptune
`
`identifies below the issues to be argued:
`
`1. The obviousness of claims 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C §103 over
`
`U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US2004/0029848 to Belanoff
`
`(“Belanoff ‘848”) (Ex. 1024).
`
`2. The obviousness of claims 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 under 35 U.S.C §103 over
`
`Belanoff 2002 (Ex. 1007) in view of Chu and Belanoff (Ex. 1023) and
`
`Sitruk-Ware (Ex. 1008).
`
`3. The obviousness of claim 3 under 35 U.S.C §103 over Belanoff 2002
`
`(Ex. 1007) in view of Chu and Belanoff (Ex. 1023) and Sitruk-Ware
`
`(Ex. 1008), further in view of U.S. Patent No. 6,964,953 B2 to
`
`Belanoff (“Belanoff ‘953”) (Ex. 1010).
`
`4. The obviousness of claim 5 under 35 U.S.C §103 over Belanoff 2002
`
`(Ex. 1007) in view of Chu and Belanoff (Ex. 1023) and Sitruk-Ware

`
`
`
`5. The obviousness of claim 3 under 35 U.S.C §103 over Belanoff ‘848
`
`(Ex. 1024), further in view of Belanoff ‘953 (Ex. 1010).
`
`6. The obviousness of claim 3 under 35 U.S.C §103 over Belanoff ‘848
`
`(Ex. 1024), further in view of Murphy (Ex. 1006).
`
`7. Any issues, exhibits, or factual matters raised in the original Petition
`
`for the ‘494 IPR (Paper No. 1).
`
`8. Any issues, exhibits, or factual matters raised in the Board’s Decision
`
`to institute the ‘494 IPR (Paper No. 11).
`
`9. Any issues, exhibits, or factual matters raised in Patent Owner’s
`
`Response in the ‘494 IPR (Paper No. 24).

`
`the ‘494 IPR (Paper No. 29).
`
`11. Any issues, exhibits, or factual matters raised in Patent Owner’s Sur-
`
`Reply in the ‘494 IPR (Paper No. 30).
`
`12. Any issues specified by Patent Owner in a Request for Oral
`
`Argument, but only to the extent the Board grants that Request on
`
`those issues.
`
`Neptune requests sixty (60) minutes of time to address the issues. Should
`
`Patent Owner be granted more time, however, Neptune requests an equal amount
`
`of time as Patent Owner be allocated for Neptune.
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Neptune reserves the right for rebuttal. Neptune will inform the Board of its
`
`specific allocation of time for its opening and rebuttal at the beginning of the oral
`
`argument.
`
`
`
`Neptune also requests the ability to use computers at counsel’s table
`
`to display demonstrative exhibits, and respectfully requests that the PTAB provide
`
`a projector with VGA and HDMI connections for that purpose.
