`

`
`Case IPR2016-00116 of
`U.S. Patent No. 6,147,601
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner Alarm.com Inc. hereby requests
`
`oral argument, currently scheduled for January 31, 2017, for case IPR2016-00116.
`
`See Scheduling Order, Paper 15 at p. 6. Petitioner further requests that this case
`
`be argued jointly with cases IPR2016-00161 and IPR2016-00173, which concern
`
`patents from the same family with common claim terms, present largely the same
`
`disputed issues, and which are also scheduled for oral argument on the same day.
`
`See IPR2016-00161, Paper 17 at p. 6; IPR2016-00173, Paper 15 at p. 6. Petitioner
`
`also requests that the hearing occur in Hearing Room A due to the number of
`
`counsel and client representatives anticipated in the three cases. Petitioner
`
`specifies the following issues to be argued, for all three cases (except for Issues 6
`
`and 7 below):
`
`1. That the Board has offered the broadest reasonable construction of the
`
`term “message profile containing outgoing message routing instructions”.
`
`2. That Shetty rendered obvious user-defined message profiles.
`
`3. That Shetty rendered obvious remote configuration or modification of
`
`user-defined message profiles.
`
`4. That Shetty in view of Britton rendered obvious normal status messages.
`
`5. That a person of ordinary skill in the art would have been motivated to
`
`combine features of Levac with Shetty.
`
`
`

`
`

`
`6. That Shetty in view of Levac rendered obvious selection of different
`
`Case IPR2016-00116 of
`U.S. Patent No. 6,147,601
`
`
`user-defined communication devices to receive outgoing exception
`
`messages at different time periods. (IPR 2016-00116 only)
`
`7. That Shetty rendered obvious communication device identification codes
`
`stored in a second memory and configured in a plurality of user-defined
`
`message profiles. (IPR2016-00116 and IPR2016-00173 only)
`
`8. Any issues specified by Patent Owner or raised by Patent Owner at the
`
`hearing.
`
`Because these issues, with the exceptions of Issues 6 and 7 above, are
`
`common to each of the cases to be argued, Petitioner requests a total of ninety (90)
`
`minutes to address these issues in a single argument for all three cases combined.
`
`In the event that the Board does not grant Petitioner’s request to argue these
`
`cases in a single consolidated argument, Petitioner will need to present many of the
`
`same arguments in each case. In that event, Petitioner requests sixty (60) minutes
`
`of argument in the instant case.
`
`Should Patent Owner argue any motions to exclude evidence in any of the
`
`cases, Petitioner requests an additional five (5) minutes, or an amount of time
`
`equivalent to Patent Owner’s time spent arguing such motions, whichever is
`
`longer, to respond to those arguments.
