`IPR2016-00047
`Patent No. 8,640,183 B2
`
`
`On October 14, 2015, Unified Patents, Inc. (“Petitioner”), filed a
`Petition (Paper 1) to institute inter partes review of various claims of U.S.
`Patent No. 8,640,183 B2. On January 1, 2016, Convergent Media Solutions,
`LLC (“Patent Owner”), filed a Preliminary Response (Paper 9). On April
`13, 2016, upon consideration of the Petition and Preliminary Response, we
`instituted an inter partes review of the challenged claims (Paper 13), and
`issued a Scheduling Order (Paper 12). Per the terms of the Scheduling
`Order, either party was permitted to request oral argument by December 7,
`2016 (DUE DATE 4). Paper 12, 6.
`The deadline to request oral argument (DUE DATE 4) has now
`expired, and neither party has requested oral argument. We do not find oral
`argument to be necessary to resolve this proceeding. Accordingly, it is
`hereby:
`
`
`ORDERED that no oral argument will take place in this proceeding.
