`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`The Board has scheduled oral hearing for this proceeding for October 27,
`
`Case IPR2020-01113
`U.S. Patent No. 7,473,685
`
`
`2021. Paper 13 at 12 (DUE DATE 8).
`
`Further to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), requiring a separate paper requesting oral
`
`hearing and specifying issues to be argued, Patent Owner requests oral hearing on
`
`all instituted grounds of unpatentability for claims 1-4 and 7-12 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,473,685, and any other issues that may affect the Board’s patentability
`
`determinations in this proceeding. Patent Owner also requests hearing of any issues
`
`specified by Petitioner in its Request for Oral Argument and any issues that the
`
`Board deems necessary for issuing a final written decision.
`
`Patent Owner requests that it and Petitioner each be allotted 60 minutes of
`
`argument time. To the extent the Board schedules the hearing to last less than or
`
`more than 120 minutes of total argument time, however, Patent Owner requests
`
`that it be given half the length of the hearing.
`
`Pursuant to the Office’s notice issued March 13, 2020, Patent Owner
`
`understands that all PTAB oral hearings scheduled to take place after
`
`March 13, 2020 will be conducted remotely until further notice and the Board will
`
`provide instructions on how to participate by video or telephone in advance of the
`
`hearing.
`
`Should the current restrictions be lifted by October 27, 2021 — the
`
`scheduled date for oral argument — Patent Owner hereby provides the following
`
`1
`
`
`
`additional requests. Patent Owner requests that the panel hear oral argument at the
`
`Case IPR2020-01113
`U.S. Patent No. 7,473,685
`
`
`USPTO main office in Alexandria, Virginia. Patent Owner requests, in addition to
`
`lead and back-up counsel, two spaces be reserved at the oral hearing to
`
`accommodate its counsel and corporate representatives. Finally, Patent Owner
`
`requests the ability to use computers and audio/visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits and evidence, including the use of a projector and screen.
