`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 (a), Patent Owner hereby respectfully requests

`Specifically, but not by way of waiver of any unenumerated issues, Patent
`
`Owner requests oral argument to address the following:

`I.
`
`The grounds on which the IPR of the ’949 Patent was instituted,
`
`including the issues and evidence raised in the parties’ briefing and supporting
`
`declarations and exhibits;
`
`II. Any issues specified by Petitioner in request for oral argument;
`
`III. Rebuttal to Petitioner’s presentation on all matters;
`
`IV. Any procedural and evidentiary issues raised by the parties;
