`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00122
`Patent 9,444,868 B2
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a) and the Board’s April 26, 2017 Scheduling
`
`Order (Paper 11), Netflix hereby requests an oral argument on the issues set forth
`
`below at a time set by the Board. Oral argument is presently scheduled for
`
`December 21, 2017. In IPR no. IPR2016-01701, the Board has set a hearing to
`
`commence at 2:00 PM Eastern Time on November 30, 2017. That trial involves
`
`the same parties and patents in the same family with the same specification, and
`
`some of the same prior art references. Both of these trials are in front of the same
`
`panel of Administrative Patent Judges, KEVIN F. TURNER, LYNNE E.
`
`PETTIGREW, and JON B. TORNQUIST. For efficiency, Petitioner, Netflix and
`
`Patent Owner, Affinity Labs, have jointly requested a telephonic conference to
`
`request the Board to move the hearing in the IPR2016-01701 case to occur the
`
`same day as that of this case, currently on December 21, 2017.
`
`Petitioner respectfully requests 45 minutes of argument time in which
`
`Petitioner may present its arguments.
`
`Petitioner requests that the Board provide audio/visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits and evidence of record, including the use of a projector and
`
`screen for displaying documents.
`
`Petitioner requests oral argument on all issues raised in the parties’ filings,
`
`including but not limited to the following:
`
`1
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00122
`Patent 9,444,868 B2
`
`(1) Whether claims 1–12, 14, 15, and 17–20 are unpatentable under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 103 as having been obvious over Treyz and Fuller;
`
`(2) Whether claims 13 and 16 are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as
`
`having been obvious over Treyz, Fuller, and Glaser; and
