`
`Dear Board:
`
`In accordance with the Order Setting Final Argument in the above-captioned IPRs, Patent Owner
`hereby requests permission for Megan Christner to participate in the Final Hearing as a LEAP
`practitioner. Attached is the request and verification form for Ms. Christner. The Board’s Order did
`not indicate that this document should be filed; please let me know if you would like us to do so.
`
`Given that the Hearing is already scheduled for a full day, Patent Owner does not currently
`anticipate requesting additional time for argument.
`
`Pursuant to the Order, Patent Owner further requests that, in addition to counsel of record, the
`following individuals be granted permission to listen in to the video hearing: Dan Logue, Howard Cyr
`and Greg Smock (all attorneys with Teleflex) and Pete Keith (Teleflex expert).
`
`Best regards,
`
`Derek Vandenburgh
