`Patent 9,855,302 B2
`
`
`
`Patent Owner’s Request for Oral Argument
`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner requests oral argument in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.70(a). Patent Owner intends to argue the following issues:
`
`(1) Petitioner’s failure to carry its burden under 35 U.S.C. § 326(e) to
`
`prove that claims 1–29 of the ’302 patent are unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 112(a) for lack of enablement (Ground 1);
`
`(2) Petitioner’s failure to carry its burden under 35 U.S.C. § 326(e) to
`
`prove that claims 1–29 of the ’302 patent are unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 103 for obviousness over various combinations of asserted
`
`prior art (Grounds 2–11);
`
`(3) Petitioner’s reply arguments that are outside the scope of a proper
`
`reply as defined in 37 C.F.R. § 42.23(b);
`
`(4) Patent Owner’s Motion to Exclude Evidence pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.64;
`
`(5) Rebuttal to Petitioner’s presentation on all matters, including issues
`
`1–4 above; and
`
`(6) Any other issues that the Board deems necessary for issuing a final
`
`written decision.
`
`Patent Owner requests 60 minutes of oral argument time. Oral
`
`argument (Due Date 8) is scheduled for January 15, 2020 (Paper 13, 1).
