`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`1 IPR2024-00037 (Juniper Networks, Inc) has been joined with this proceeding.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2023-00554
`Patent 10,652,111
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70 and the Board’s September 20, 2023
`
`Scheduling Order (Paper 9), Orckit Corporation (“Patent Owner”) respectfully
`
`requests oral argument, currently scheduled for July 9, 2024. Patent Owner
`
`requests a remote hearing.
`
`Reservation Of Time: Patent Owner requests an opportunity to reserve sur-
`
`rebuttal time to respond to rebuttal arguments by Petitioner, and an opportunity to
`
`provide a closing statement. Compare, e.g., Mangrove Partners Master Fund.,
`
`Ltd. et al. v. VirnetX Inc., IPR2015-01046/01047, Paper 60, 2 (PTAB June 2, 2016)
`
`(“Both parties may reserve some of their argument time for rebuttal, and Patent
`
`Owner will be afforded an opportunity to provide a closing statement along with
`
`any rebuttal.”)
`
`Issues For Argument: Without waiving any issue not specifically
`
`identified, Patent Owner specifies at least the following issues it may discuss at
`
`argument:
`
`• Issues related to the instituted grounds, including, for example, claim
`
`construction, anticipation, obviousness, motivation to combine, and
`
`reasonable expectation of success;
`
`• Any other relevant issues raised in papers filed in this proceeding,
`
`including issues raised in papers yet to be filed; and
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case IPR2023-00554
`Patent 10,652,111
`
`
`
`• Any other issues that the Board deems necessary for issuing a Final
`
`Written Decision, including any questions, rebuttals, or arguments
`
`that may arise during the oral argument.
`
`The Board’s advance guidance is respectfully solicited as to any questions
`
`the Board specifically wishes to be addressed.
`
`Time For Argument: Patent Owner respectfully requests 60 minutes of total
`
`argument time per side. Patent Owner believes that this is a sufficient amount of
`
`time to discuss all issues in this case.
`
`Equipment: Patent Owner requests teleconference software (e.g., Zoom,
`
`Teams, etc.) with the ability to display possible demonstratives and exhibits during
`
`the remote hearing. Patent Owner requests a real time audio and/or video stream
`
`accessible to members of the public.
