`
` Claims 9-13, 17-24, 29-33, and 37-44 are unpatentable under

`
`obvious to a POSA by Yung and the Four-Steps Whitepaper;

` Any motions or issues that remain pending at the time of the hearing;
`
` Rebuttal to Patent Owner’s presentation on all matters; and

` Any additional issues raised by the Board or Patent Owner during the
`

`
`Petitioners request 45 minutes to address these issues. To the extent the

`
`they be given half the length of the hearing to address these issues.
