`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2021-01041
`Patent No. 8,095,879
`
`The Board has tentatively scheduled oral hearing for this proceeding for
`
`October 17, 2022. Paper 20 (Scheduling Order) at 11 (DUE DATE 8).
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner requests oral hearing on all
`
`instituted grounds of unpatentability, disputed claim constructions, motions to
`
`exclude, and any other issues that may affect the Board’s determinations in this
`
`proceeding. Petitioner also requests oral hearing on any issues raised by Patent
`
`Owner in its Request for Oral Hearing.
`
`Petitioner requests that it and Patent Owner each be allotted 60 minutes of
`
`argument time. To the extent the Board schedules the hearing to last less than or
`
`more than 120 minutes of total argument time, however, Petitioner requests that it
`
`be given half the length of the hearing to address these issues.
`
`Petitioner further requests the Board to conduct an in-person hearing at the
`
`USPTO’s Silicon Valley regional office located at San Jose, California, as indicated
`
`in the Scheduling Order. Paper 20 (Scheduling Order) at 6. Petitioner conferred with
`
`Patent Owner on August 30, 2022, and Patent Owner indicated that it is amenable to
`
`an in-person hearing held at the USPTO’s Silicon Valley regional office.
`
`If the USPTO’s Silicon Valley regional office is not available for the oral
`
`hearing, Petitioner requests that the oral argument take place virtually via remote
`
`video conference.

`
`If an in-person hearing is held at the USPTO’s Silicon Valley regional office,
`
`Petitioner requests that two spaces be reserved for counsel at counsel’s table and

`
`counsel and corporate representatives. Petitioner also requests that two attorneys at
`
`Petitioner’s counsel’s table be allowed to use computers. Petitioner also requests
`
`permission to use audiovisual display equipment to present demonstratives,
`
`including a projector and screen for computer-generated slides, and a document
`
`camera/projector.
