`

`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Board’s August 14, 2015
`
`Scheduling Order (Paper 10), requiring separate paper requesting oral argument
`

`this Request for Oral Argument. As set forth in the Scheduling Order, the Board
`
`has currently scheduled the oral hearing for May 13, 2016 (Id. at 6).
`
`Patent Owner plans to address the following issues:
`
`• The construction of certain terms of U.S. Patent No. 8,092,345 (“the
`
`’345 Patent”) under the broadest reasonable interpretation;
`
`• Whether Petitioner has met its burden, under 35 U.S.C. § 316(e), in
`
`proving the instituted ground of unpatentability: Claims 1-3, 6-11, 15-
`
`17, and 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) by Mault and DeLorme;
`
`• Whether Petitioner’s identified experts qualify to give opinions as to
`
`the viewpoint of persons of ordinary skill in the art and/or on
`
`secondary considerations of non-obviousness, and the credibility of
`
`Petitioner’s identified experts;
`
`• Any issues identified in Petitioner’s Request for Oral Argument;
`
`• Any other issues raised in papers filed in this proceeding, including
`
`issues raised in papers yet to be filed, such as Motions to Exclude or
`
`Motions for Observations on Cross Examination; and
