`U.S. Patent No. 7,381,657
`____________________
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`1 Intel Corporation was joined as a petitioner in this proceeding based on a
`petition and motion for joinder filed in IPR2021-01031, both of which were
`granted.
`2 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was joined as a petitioner in this proceeding
`based on a petition and motion for joinder filed in IPR2021-01091, both of
`which were granted.
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Scheduling Order dated May 11, 2021
`
`Case IPR2021-00104
`Patent No. 7,381,657
`
`
`
`(Paper 14), Petitioner requests Oral Argument on issues related to the patentability
`
`of claims 1–21 of U.S. Patent No. 7,381,657. Petitioner wishes to present argument
`
`on the following issues:
`
`• Grounds for which inter partes review was instituted for the ’657 patent
`
`and any issue raised in the Board’s Institution Decision dated May 11,
`
`2021 (Paper 13);
`
`• Any issue addressed in Petitioner’s papers, including, but not limited
`
`to, the Petition and Petitioner’s Reply Brief; and
`
`• Rebuttal to Patent Owner’s presentation on all issues, including the
`
`issues listed above and any issues raised in Patent Owner’s Response
`
`and Patent Owner’s Sur-Reply.
`
`The oral argument for this proceeding (IPR2021-00104) and one other related
`
`proceeding in IPR2021-00103, which involves a related patent and similar issues,
`
`are both currently set for the same day, February 9. Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`the oral arguments in IPR2021-00103 and IPR2021-00104 to be consolidated,
`
`because Petitioner expects that consolidation of the oral arguments will benefit the
`
`Board.
`
`Petitioner believes the parties should be allocated 120 minutes per side to
`
`present arguments in a consolidated oral argument for both proceedings.
