`
`Case IPR2017-00058
`Patent 7,805,948 B2
`
`
`
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`IPR2017-00058
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioner hereby requests an oral
`
`hearing in the present inter partes review. Per the Board’s Scheduling Order, the
`
`oral hearing is scheduled for January 18, 2018. See Order, Paper 7, p. 7.
`
`1. Request to Consolidate Cases for Oral Hearing
`
`The schedule in this case (IPR2017-00058) is aligned with the schedule of
`
`IPR2017-00198 such that the oral hearing in both cases is set for the same date.
`
`See Order, Paper 7, p. 7; IPR2017-00198, Order, Paper 8, p. 7. Because of
`
`overlapping subject matter and issues in both cases, and to expedite the
`
`proceedings, Petitioner respectfully requests a single consolidated oral hearing,
`
`with each side having 30 minutes to present.
`
`2. Issues to be Presented During Oral Hearing
`
`During the oral hearing, Petitioner requests the opportunity to present oral
`
`argument on all of the issues raised in the papers pertaining to the instituted
`
`grounds, including:
`
` Hamberg and Lamb render obvious “generating a conference call request
`
`responsive to a single request by the conference call requester,” through
`
`Lamb’s CALL and CONF.NOW buttons and Hamberg’s CALL ALIAS
`
`message.
`
`2
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Oral Hearing
`IPR2017-00058
` Hamberg and Lamb render obvious “automatically establishing a conference
`
`call connection to … each of the potential targets,” through Hamberg’s
`
`description of establishing a conference call with group members who are
`
`logged into a server and participating in an instant messaging session.
`
` Hamberg and Lamb render obvious “presenting to said conference call
`
`requester a display showing a plurality of potential targets” through Lamb’s
`
`display of status information that can be provided on Hamberg’s mobile
`
`stations.
`
`3. Conclusion
`
`If the Board has any questions or comments, the undersigned attorney
`
`respectfully requests a telephone conference. No fees are believed to be required
`
`for filing this request; however, the Commissioner is authorized to charge any
`
`required fees, or credit any overpayment, to Haynes and Boone, LLP’s Deposit
`
`Account No. 08-1394.
