`
`argument for all six related proceedings in a single, consolidated hearing. (2) The
`
`parties wish to set the oral argument in the Denver office of the PTO. (3) The
`
`parties suggest that the Petitioner and Patent Owner each be provided 60 minutes
`
`of argument time for the consolidated hearing, inclusive of any rebuttal time either
`
`party wishes to reserve. Patent Owner respectfully requests that the Board adopt
`
`the joint recommendations.
`
`Patent Owner respectfully requests availability of equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits, including an ELMO and projector to the screens.
