`
`hour of argument time on the following instituted grounds of unpatentability,
`
`and associated issues, without intent to waive consideration of any issue not
`

`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Spenser (Ex. 1004) and
`
`Elliot (Ex. 1005)
`
`II. Whether Claims 1-4 of the '608 Patent (Ex. 1001) are Unpatentable
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Spenser (Ex. 1004) and
`
`Thornton (Ex. 1019)
`
`III. Whether Claims 1-4 of the '608 Patent (Ex. 1001) are Unpatentable
`
`Under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as obvious over Spenser (Ex. 1004) and
`
`Cook (Ex. 1006)
`
`Petitioners request the use of audio/visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits, including the use of a projector and screen for a
`
`PowerPoint display. In accordance with the Trial Practice Guide, 77 Fed. Reg. at

`48768, Petitioners will contact the Board Trial Division paralegal to discuss this
`
`request. Petitioners also expect that client representatives and litigation counsel for
`
`
`
`the related, pending litigation are expected to attend the hearing. As a result,
`
`Petitioners request that the hearing be assigned to one of the larger conference
`
`rooms to accommodate a larger audience.
