`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s Scheduling Order (IPR2019-
`
`00528, Paper 9) dated August 5, 2019, Patent Owner BlackBerry Limited (“Patent
`
`Owner”) hereby respectfully request oral argument in this proceeding. The oral
`
`argument is scheduled to take place on May 5, 2020. Unless the March 13 Order

`
`respectfully requests that oral argument take place as currently schedule in person
`
`at the Denver, Colorado, USPTO Regional Office. Likewise, should arguments
`
`take place in person, Patent Owner also respectfully requests that both a projector
`
`with a laptop connector and an Elmo be available for use at oral argument to
`
`display possible demonstratives and/or exhibits.
`
`Patent Owner requests one hour for combined oral arguments addressing
`
`both IPR2019-00516 and IPR2019-00528.
`
`The issues to be argued include:
`
`1. The patentability of the challenged claims;
`
`2. The patentability of the proposed amended substitute claims;
`
`3. Any other issues Petitioners raised in their Petition and reply to the
`
`Petition;
`
`4. Any other issues Petitioners raised in their Response and sur-reply to
`
`Patent Owner’s motion to amend;
