`
`Case IPR2021-00255
`Patent Owner’s Request for Oral Argument
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Patent Owner, Koss Corporation hereby
`
`
`
`
`
`
`submits this Request for Oral Argument to present arguments on all of the
`
`instituted grounds of unpatentability of claims 1-21 of U.S. Patent No. 10,298,451,
`
`along with any issues raised in the parties’ papers in this trial and the Board’s
`
`institution decision, and any other issues the Board deems necessary for issuing a
`
`final written decision. Patent Owner requests the ability to reserve a portion of its
`
`total time for presenting sur-rebuttal arguments after Petitioner’s presentation. See
`
`November 2019 Consolidated Trial Practice Guide at 83.
`
`
`
`The Board has already scheduled an Oral Argument for March 3, 2022. See
`
`Paper 30, Page 1. Note that Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing (Paper 46) states
`
`that Oral Hearing date is March 8, 2022, although per Paper 30, Patent Owner
`
`understands that the hearing is schedule for March 3, 2022.
