`
`a live hearing is conducted, Petitioner requests the ability to use audio-visual
`
`equipment to display demonstrative exhibits, including the use of a projector and
`
`screen for PowerPoint display.
`
`Petitioner specifies, without intent to waive consideration of any issue not
`
`requested, the following issues to be argued:
`
`•
`
`•
`
`•
`
`the interpretation of certain claim limitations of U.S. Patent 7,016,676
`
`(“the ’676 patent”);
`
`the public availability of the prior art references cited in the Petition;
`
`and
`
`the grounds of unpatentability of claims 1 and 2 of the ’676 patent
`
`presented in the Petition including:
`
`o
`
`whether claims 1 and 2 are unpatentable under Section 103 over
`
`HomeRF (Ex. 1006);
