`
`Goldstein.
`
`(2) Whether the Petitioner has met its burden to show that claims 1-16 of the
`
`‘621 Patent would have been obvious over Plachetka.
`
`(3) Claim interpretations and any other subsidiary issues relevant to
`
`issues (1) and (2).
`
`(4) Any other issues identified by the Petitioner for oral argument or any
`
`other issues raised in papers yet to be filed.
`
`(5) Any other issues the Board deems necessary for issuing a final written
`
`decision.

`Patent Owner respectfully requests the ability to use audio visual equipment
`
`to display possible demonstrative exhibits.
