`
`Owner Nomadix, Inc. requests that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board hear oral
`
`argument on the instituted grounds for U.S. Patent No. 8,626,922 and associated
`
`issues, including:

`
`1 In Nomadix, Inc. v. Guest Tek Interactive Entertainment Ltd., Case No. 2:19-
`
`cv-04980 (C.D. Cal.), Patent Owner has sought injunctive relief in the Central
`
`District of California in accordance with Dodocase VR, Inc. v. MerchSource, LLC,
`
`767 F. App’x 930 (Fed. Cir. 2019), enjoining Petitioner from pursuing the present
`
`IPR, which Patent Owner contends violates a forum-selection clause in the parties’

`
`Any other issues that the Board deems necessary to consider for
`
`terminating these proceedings or, in the alterative, issuing a Final Written Decision.
`
`Patent Owner further requests permission to use audiovisual equipment to
`
`display demonstratives and exhibits, including the use of a computer, projector, and
`
`screen.
`
`Patent Owner requests one (1) hour of argument time for each party to address
`
`both the instant IPR and related IPR2019-00211. Patent Owner thus requests the
`
`“ordinary” amount of time as per the update to the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide.
`
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, August 2018 Update, 83 Fed. Reg. 39,989 (Aug.
`
`13, 2018) (“The Board expects to ordinarily provide for an hour of argument per side
`
`for a single proceeding, but a party may request more or less time depending on the
`
`circumstances of the case.”). Patent Owner anticipates that approximately three (3)
`
`
`license agreement. Patent Owner’s motion for summary judgment is currently set
`
`for hearing on January 17, 2020. In any event, the case is set for a bench trial on
`
`May 12, 2020. If the Court does not rule on the necessary issues before the deadline
`
`for the Board to issue a Final Written Decision, Nomadix intends to seek permission
`
`from the Board to file a motion to extend the Board’s deadline. Further, Nomadix
`
`intends to seek permission from the Board to terminate the IPR should the Court rule
`
`in Patent Owner’s favor.
