`
`
`Case IPR2018-01710
`Patent 8,586,045 B2
`Pursuant to the Board’s April 3, 2019 Scheduling Order (Paper 12), Patent
`
`Owner Teva Pharmaceuticals International GmbH respectfully requests oral
`
`argument, currently scheduled for January 8, 2020. Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, and
`
`without intending to waive any issue not specifically identified, Patent Owner
`
`specifies the following issues to be argued:
`
`1. Whether claims 1, 3, 4, 8-17, 19, 20, and 24-31 are unpatentable as
`
`obvious in view of Olesen, Tan 1995, and Queen;
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`Any issues raised by Petitioner in its request for oral hearing;
`
`Any other issues the Board deems necessary for issuing a final written
`
`decision (e.g., the motion to strike and any motion to exclude).
`
`Patent Owner requests that IPR2018-01710, and related cases IPR2018-
`
`01711 and IPR2018-01712 be consolidated into one single hearing.
`
`Patent Owner requests that each party be allocated one (1) hour, including
`
`rebuttal, in which to present arguments.
`
`Patent Owner requests that the hearing be held in Alexandria, Virginia
`
`because that location will be more convenient, have simpler logistics, and be less
`
`costly for both Patent Owner and Petitioner. Counsel for Patent Owner and the
`
`majority of counsel for Petitioner are located in the Washington, DC area. In
`
`addition, two of the three members of the Board assigned to this case appear to be
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`Case IPR2018-01710
`Patent 8,586,045 B2
`based in the Alexandria location, making the Alexandria location more convenient
`
`for the majority of the panel. Patent Owner’s counsel is also already scheduled to
`
`be on the East Coast around the time of the hearing.
`
`Patent Owner requests that the Board provide audio-visual equipment to
`
`display demonstrative exhibits, including a projector and screen for displaying
`
`documents from a computer.
`
`In addition to counsel listed on the mandatory notices, Patent Owner expects
`
`additional attendees from Teva and understands Petitioner to also expect additional
`
`guests.
