`

`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Board’s August 13, 2021, Scheduling
`
`Order (Paper 11), Patent Owner, GUI Global Products, Ltd. (“Patent Owner”),
`
`requests the opportunity to present oral argument in this matter. The oral argument
`
`is scheduled to be held on May 19, 2022. Paper 11 at 11.

`
`Patent 10,562,077, and IPR2021-00473 re U.S. Patent 10,589,320 are currently
`
`pending between the same parties as are involved in this proceeding and Patent
`
`Owner is concurrently requesting oral argument in these related proceedings, which

`
`in IPRs 2021-00471, 2021-00472, and 2021-00473 are substantially similar as those

`
`single, consolidated hearing for all of these proceedings be conducted for
`
`convenience of the parties and the Board. Patent Owner requests a total of 90 minutes
`
`per side argument time for the single, consolidated hearing. Alternatively, if the
`
`Board does not desire a single, consolidated hearing, then Patent Owner requests a
`
`total of 60 minutes per side for the hearing on this IPR 2021-00470.
`
`Issues to be addressed during oral argument:
`
`1. Whether Petitioner has met its burden of proving that Bohbot and
`
`Gundlach render claims 1-3, 5-7, 10, 16, and 19 obvious.

`
`remotely by video or telephone in view of the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus
