`
`indicator signal” in the claims of the ’642 Patent;
`
`•
`
`Grounds at issue in this proceeding, including all issues raised by the
`
`parties relating to the instituted grounds in this proceeding (Grounds 1-3);
`
`•
`
`Any issues addressed in the Patent Owner’s papers, including but not
`
`limited to, the Patent Owner’s Response and Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply;
`
`•
`
`Rebuttal to Petitioner’s presentation and positions on all issues,
`
`including the issues listed above and any issues raised in Petitioner’s Petition,
`
`Petitioner’s Reply, or elsewhere in the record for this proceeding;
`
`Any motions to exclude filed by any party;
`
`Any other issues the Board deems necessary for issuing a final written
`
`•
`
`•
`
`decision.
`
`Patent Owner believes the parties need no more than sixty minutes per side

`1

`

`
`to present arguments in this case. To the extent the oral argument will be
`
`conducted in-person at the offices of the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office, Patent Owner respectfully requests permission to use audio/visual
`
`equipment to display demonstrative exhibits. To the extent the oral arguments will
`
`be conducted by video conference in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Patent
`
`Owner respectfully requests that the Board provide a video conferencing platform
`
`and a public telephone line.
