`
`
`
`Petitioners’ Request for Oral Argument
`PTAB Case No. IPR2021-01338
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), the Board’s Scheduling Order (Paper 10),
`
`and the Joint Stipulation to Modify Due Dates (Paper 28), Petitioners Nintendo
`
`Co., Ltd. and Nintendo of America Inc. respectfully request an oral hearing in this
`
`matter. The oral hearing is currently scheduled for October 3, 2022.
`
`Petitioners request that the oral hearing be held in-person at the USPTO
`
`headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. (See Scheduling Order at 6 (“Unless the
`
`Board notifies the parties otherwise, oral argument, if requested, will be held at the
`
`USPTO headquarters in Alexandria.”).)
`
`Petitioners request sixty (60) minutes of argument time per side to address
`
`the following issues:
`
`1. The patentability of challenged claims 1–3, 6–14, and 16 of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,411,941 over all grounds asserted in the Petition;
`
`2. Response to any issues raised by Patent Owner in its request for oral
`
`argument or otherwise presented by the Patent Owner;
`
`3. Any additional issues on which the Board seeks clarification.
`
`Consistent with the Board’s explanation in the Order Dismissing Joint
`
`Motions to Consolidate (Paper 24), Petitioners request that the oral hearing for
`
`instant proceeding be held separately from any oral hearing that may be held in
`
`IPR2021-01406.
`
`158145318.1
`

`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners request the ability to use audio/visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits, including the use of a computer, projector, and screen for a
`
`PowerPoint display. In accordance with the Trial Practice Guide, Petitioners will
`
`contact the Board Trial Division paralegal to discuss this request.
