`
`Good evening,
`
`Petitioner’s request that Timothy Tang be permitted to participate in the oral
`hearing as a LEAP practitioner is granted. Petitioner is granted an additional
`fifteen minutes of argument time during the oral hearing.
`
`Patent Owner will not be granted additional argument time, as they have not
`submitted a request for a LEAP practitioner to participate in the oral hearing.
`
`For guidance regarding LEAP, please visit the USPTO website:
`www.uspto.gov/leap.
`
`Thank you,
`PTAB Hearings

`Subject: LEAP Participation Request: IPR2019-00819 and IPR2019-00820
`
`Your Honors,
`
`Petitioner is writing to submit a LEAP participation request for the Oral Hearing scheduled on June
`25, 2020 for IPR2019-00819 and IPR2019-00820. Petitioner also requests an additional 15 minutes
`of time for each party, to accommodate these arguments.
`
`Timothy Tang (Reg. No. 75,187) is listed as backup counsel in these cases and qualifies under the
`LEAP eligibility requirements. Apple intends to have Mr. Tang argue a portion of the hearing. He will
`file the required LEAP Practitioner Verification Form certifying his eligibility.
`
`Patent Owner has indicated that it will not oppose this request as long as it receives an equal
`amount of any additional time allotted to Petitioner. Should any additional information be required,
`please let us know.
`
`
`
