`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Exclusive Licensee, Rapid Completions LLC, by and through its attorneys,
`
`respectfully requests oral argument, currently scheduled for May 18, 2017.
`
`If the Board determines that live testimony from the parties’ declarants will
`
`assist the Board, Rapid Completions requests that the oral argument be structured
`
`as follows:
`
`• Each side is permitted ten minutes of attorney argument for an
`
`opening statement.
`
`• Each side is permitted 2-3 hours to divide up as each party sees fit
`

`
`issues raised in IPR2016-00596, IPR2016-00597, IPR2016-00598.

`• Each side is permitted one hour of oral argument time to address the
`
`issues raised in IPR2016-00596, IPR2016-00597, IPR2016-00598,
`
`IPR2016-00656, and IPR2016-00657.
`
`If the Board determines that live testimony is unnecessary, Rapid
`
`Completions requests that each party be granted ninety minutes of oral argument
`
`time to address the issues raised in IPR2016-00596, IPR2016-00597, IPR2016-
`
`00598, IPR2016-00656, and IPR2016-00657.

`
`highlight issues in petitioner’s reply that exceed the proper scope of a reply.
