`
`REASONS WHY ORAL ARGUMENT SHOULD BE HEARD
`
`Pursuant to Rule 11.1 (b) of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on
`
`Multidistrict Litigation (the “Panel”), Novo Nordisk A/S and Novo Nordisk Inc. (collectively
`
`“Novo Nordisk”) respectfully request oral argument on their Motion for Transfer of the Action to
`
`the District of Delaware Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407 for Coordinated and Consolidated Pretrial
`
`Proceedings.
`
`Oral argument will allow Novo Nordisk to further address the merits of this motion and
`
`any arguments made in opposition, thereby assisting the Panel in rendering a decision. Oral
`
`argument will allow the parties to respond to any inquires the Panel may have regarding the factual
`
`similarities of the pending Hatch-Waxman litigations, the burdens and challenges that litigating
`
`them separately will impose, the judicial efficiencies that will be realized through consolidation,
`
`and why Delaware is the appropriate transferee district. Finally, oral argument will ensure that the
`
`Panel has access to the views of all parties who wish to be heard in these six actions, including to
`
`update the Panel on any events that have occurred since briefing.
`
`For all of the foregoing reasons, Novo Nordisk respectfully requests that the Panel grant
`
`its request for oral argument.
