`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2022-01413
`U.S. Patent No. 9,762,636 B2
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Google LLC (“Petitioner”)
`
`requests an oral hearing on all grounds of unpatentability raised in this proceeding.
`
`Petitioner also requests oral hearing on any issues raised by Patent Owner in its
`
`Request for Oral Hearing, any procedural or evidentiary issues raised by the parties,
`
`and any additional issues or questions raised by the Board or the parties before or
`
`during the oral argument.
`
`Petitioner requests 30 minutes of argument time, for a total of 1 hour for the
`
`session. To the extent the Board schedules this hearing to last more or less than the
`
`1 hour total hearing time requested by Petitioner, Petitioner requests to be given half
`
`the total length.
`
`Petitioner further requests that it be permitted to speak first at oral argument
`
`as the party bearing the burden of showing the unpatentability of the challenged
`
`claims, and that it be permitted to reserve time for rebuttal following Patent Owner’s
`
`allotted argument time.
`
`Petitioner requests that the oral hearing be held in-person. If the Board
`
`conducts an in-person hearing, Petitioner requests the hearing be held at the USPTO
`
`headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, to the extent practicable including the capacity
`
`of the hearing room. Petitioner believes that there will be no more than three
`
`individuals present for this oral hearing on behalf of Petitioner, including any
`
`attorneys and client representatives.

`U.S. Patent No. 9,762,636 B2
`
`
`Should arguments take place in person, Petitioner also requests that its
`
`attorneys be allowed to use computers at the hearing (in addition to the 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. Petitioner further
`
`requests the use of audio-visual equipment suitable to display papers of record and
`
`demonstrative exhibits, including a computer-connectable projector, an ELMO, and
`
`a screen.
`
`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
`
`representative (including attorney and client representatives) attend the video
`
`conference from separate locations.
`
`Petitioner further requests the services of a court reporter to transcribe the
`
`proceeding.
