`
`PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2019-00706
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,349,120
` Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), Petitioners Facebook, Inc., Instagram,
`
`LLC, and WhatsApp Inc. request an oral hearing on all grounds of unpatentability
`
`raised in this proceeding. Petitioners also request oral hearing on any issues raised
`
`by Patent Owner in its Request for Oral Hearing, any procedural or evidentiary
`
`issues raised by the parties, and any additional issues or questions raised by the
`
`Board or the parties before or during the oral argument.
`
`Petitioners request 30 minutes total to address all of the issues involved in
`
`this proceeding. To the extent the Board schedules the hearing to last more than 60
`
`minutes total, however, Petitioners request that they should be given half the length
`
`of the hearing to address these issues.
`
`
`
`Petitioners further request that they be permitted to speak first at oral
`
`argument as the party bearing the burden of showing the unpatentability of the
`
`challenged claims, and that they be permitted to reserve time for rebuttal following
`
`Patent Owner’s allotted argument time.
`
`
`
`Unless the March 13 Order requiring all oral arguments to occur
`
`telephonically is still in effect, Petitioners request that the oral hearing be held as
`
`scheduled at the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, to the extent
`
`practicable including the capacity of the hearing room. Petitioners believe that
`
`there will be no more than four attorneys and clients present for this oral hearing.

`Should arguments take place in person, Petitioners also request that their
`
`attorneys be allowed to use computers at the hearing (in addition to the counsel
`
`making the argument using his or her computer to show the demonstratives) to
`
`avoid the need for the parties to bring entire paper copies of the record into the
`
`hearing room and to facilitate efficient answering of panel questions. Petitioners
`
`further request the use of audio-visual equipment suitable to display papers of
`
`record and demonstrative exhibits, including a computer-connectable projector, an
`
`ELMO, and a screen.
`
`Petitioners further request the services of a court report to transcribe the
`
`proceeding.
