`
`
`
`
`BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`
`
`LIQUIDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
`Petitioner
`
`v.
`
`UNITED THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION,
`Patent Owner
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2021-00406
`U.S. Patent No. 10,716,793
`
`
`
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Liquidia Technologies, Inc.
`
`requests an oral hearing on all grounds of unpatentability raised in this proceeding.
`
`Petitioner also requests oral hearing on any issues raised by Patent Owner in its
`
`Request for Oral Hearing, any procedural or evidentiary issues raised by the
`
`parties, and any additional issues or questions raised by the Board or the parties
`
`before or during the oral argument.
`
`Petitioner requests 30 minutes total to address all of the issues involved in
`
`this proceeding. To the extent the Board schedules the hearing to last more than 60
`
`minutes total, however, Petitioner requests that it should be given half the length of
`
`the hearing to address these issues.
`
`
`
`Petitioner further requests that it be permitted to speak first at oral argument
`
`as the party bearing the burden of showing the unpatentability of the challenged
`
`claims, and that it be permitted to reserve time for rebuttal following Patent
`
`Owner’s allotted argument time.
`
`
`
`Unless the March 13 Order requiring all oral arguments to occur
`
`telephonically is still in effect, Petitioner requests that the oral hearing be held at
`
`the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, rather than as currently
`
`scheduled at the USPTO headquarters in Denver, Colorado, to the extent
`
`practicable including the capacity of the hearing room. Petitioner believes that
`
`there will be no more than four attorneys and clients present for this oral hearing.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Should arguments take place in person, Petitioner also requests that its
`
`attorneys be allowed to use computers at the hearing (in addition to the counsel
`
`making the argument using his or her computer to show the demonstratives) to
`
`avoid the need for the parties to bring entire paper copies of the record into the
`
`hearing room and to facilitate efficient answering of panel questions. Petitioner
`
`further requests the use of audio-visual equipment suitable to display papers of
`
`record and demonstrative exhibits, including a computer-connectable projector, an
`
`ELMO, and a screen.
`
`Petitioner further requests the services of a court reporter to transcribe the
`
`proceeding.
