`
`3. The obviousness of claims 11 and 12 in view of Larsson and BT Core;
`
`4. The obviousness of claims 11 and 12 in view of IrOBEX;
`
`5. The printed publication status of BT Core and IrOBEX;
`
`6. Patent Owner’s improper introduction of new evidence and arguments
`
`related to piggybacking in page 19, line 10 to page 20, line 15 of its sur-
`
`reply;

`
`Petitioner also respectfully requests the ability to use audio visual equipment
`

`
