`
`EXCLUSIVE LICENSEE RAPID COMPLETIONS LLC’S REQUEST FOR
`ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Exclusive Licensee, Rapid Completions LLC, by and through its attorneys,
`
`respectfully requests oral argument, currently scheduled for November 2, 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 (Weatherford and Baker Hughes are considered a single
`
`“side”) is permitted ten minutes to make an opening statement.
`
`• Each side is permitted 2-3 hours to divide up as it sees fit between
`
`direct, cross, and redirect, etc. of the experts concerning the issues
`
`raised in their respective declarations.
`
`• Each side is permitted one hour of oral argument time to address the
`
`issues raised in IPR2016-00596, IPR2016-00597, IPR2016-00598,
`
`IPR2016-01380, IPR2016-01496, IPR2016-01505 and IPR2016-
`
`01506, IPR2016-01509, IPR2016-01514 and IPR2016-01517.
`
`If the Board determines that live testimony from the parties’ declarants is not
`
`necessary, Rapid Completions requests that the oral argument be structured as
`
`follows:
`
`• Each side (Weatherford and Baker Hughes are considered a single
`
`“side”) is permitted twenty-five minutes to address issues, evidence,
`
`and testimony relevant to the proceedings as a whole in an opening
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`statement.
`
`
`
`• Each side is permitted one hour and fifteen minutes of oral argument
`
`time to address the issues raised in IPR2016-00596, IPR2016-00597,
`
`IPR2016-00598, IPR2016-01380, IPR2016-01496, IPR2016-01505
`
`and IPR2016-01506, IPR2016-01509, IPR2016-01514 and IPR2016-
`
`01517.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.70, and without intending to waive any issue not
`
`specifically identified, Rapid Completions specifies the following issues to be
`
`argued:
`
`1.
`
`Petitioners failed to meet their burden of proving that the instituted
`
`claims are unpatentable under any grounds in the Petition;
`
`Any issues identified in Petitioner’s Request for Oral Argument;
`
`Any other issues the Board deems necessary for issuing a final written
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`decision.
`
`Rapid Completions requests that the Board provide audio-visual equipment
`
`to display demonstrative exhibits, including a projector to be connected to a laptop
`
`and a screen for displaying documents.
