`any rebuttal.”)

`Issues For Argument: Without waiving any issue not specifically
`
`identified, Patent Owner specifies at least the following issues it may discuss at
`
`argument:
`
`• Issues related to the instituted grounds, including, for example, claim
`
`construction, anticipation, obviousness, motivation to combine, and
`
`reasonable expectation of success;
`
`• The timeliness of the arguments raised in the proceedings;
`
`• Any other relevant issues raised in papers filed in this proceeding,
`
`including issues raised in papers yet to be filed; and
`
`- 1 -

`
`
`• Any other issues that the Board deems necessary for issuing a Final
`
`Written Decision, including any questions, rebuttals, or arguments

`that may arise during the oral argument.

`The Board’s advance guidance is respectfully solicited as to any questions
`
`the Board specifically wishes to be addressed.

`
`argument time per side. Patent Owner believes that this is a sufficient amount of
`
`time to discuss all issues in this case.

`and screen to display possible demonstratives and exhibits.
