`
`PATENT OWNER’S REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2022-00142
`U.S. Patent No. 8,293,742
`
`
`
`The Board has scheduled oral hearing for this proceeding for February 27,
`
`2023. Paper 17 at 3 (DUE DATE 8).
`
`Further to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70(a), requiring a separate paper requesting oral
`
`hearing and specifying issues to be argued, Patent Owner Eye Therapies, LLC
`
`requests oral hearing on all instituted grounds of unpatentability for claims 1 - 6 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,293,742, and any other issues that may affect the Board’s
`
`patentability determinations in this proceeding. Patent Owner also requests hearing
`
`of any issues specified by Petitioner in its Request for Oral Argument and any issues
`
`that the Board deems necessary for issuing a final written decision.
`
`Patent Owner requests that it and Petitioner each be allotted 60 minutes of
`
`argument time. To the extent the Board schedules the hearing to last less than or
`
`more than 120 minutes of total argument time, however, Patent Owner requests that
`
`it be given half the length of the hearing.
`
`Patent Owner requests that the panel hear oral argument at the USPTO main
`
`office in Alexandria, Virginia. Patent Owner requests space for 4 attorneys, 1 lead
`
`and 3 back-up counsel, and an additional two spaces reserved at the oral hearing to
`
`accommodate its counsel and/or corporate representatives. Finally, Patent Owner
`
`requests the ability to use computers and audio/visual equipment to display
`
`demonstrative exhibits and evidence, including the use of a projector and screen.
