`IPR2022-00131 – Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. 42.70(a), Petitioner, Apple Inc., requests oral
`
`argument on the issues set forth below at a place and time set by the Board. Oral
`
`argument is presently scheduled for February 22, 2023 (Paper No. 8, “Scheduling
`
`Order”).
`
`Without waiving any issue not specifically identified herein, Petitioner
`
`specifies at least the following issues to be presented by Petitioner at oral
`
`argument:
`
`1. Proper construction of the relevant claims of the ’267 Patent;
`
`2. Arguments and evidence that claims 1, 5, 13, 20, 21, 29, 30, 34, 42, and
`
`49 are obvious in view of Haberman alone, Haberman in view of Boger,
`
`and Vanluijt alone; and
`
`3. Rebuttal to Patent Owner’s arguments and evidence on all matters
`
`including the issues listed above.
`
`Petitioner requests 45 minutes for argument time for a total of 1 hour and 30
`
`minutes for the session. To the extent the Board schedules this hearing to last more
`
`or less than the total hearing time requested by Petitioner, Petitioner requests to be
`
`given half the total length.
`
`If this oral hearing cannot be held in person, Petitioner requests that the
`
`hearing take place via video conference. Petitioner requests the ability to present
`
`demonstratives and exhibits to the Board and the ability to have Petitioner’s
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2022-00131 – Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`
`counsel attend the video conference from separate locations.
`
`If this oral hearing can be held in person, Petitioner requests the ability to
`
`use a computer, projector, and screen to display demonstratives and exhibits.
`
`Petitioner also requests that two attorneys at Petitioner’s counsel’s table be allowed
`
`to use computers at the hearing (in addition to counsel making the argument using
`
`his or her computer to show the demonstratives), to avoid the need for the parties
`
`to bring entire paper copies of the record into the hearing room and to facilitate
`
`efficient answering of panel questions.
