`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Petitioner SAMSUNG
`
`ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. and SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
`
`(“Samsung”) respectfully requests that the Board recognize Mr. Ralph A. Phillips
`
`as counsel pro hac vice in this proceeding. Samsung seeks the counsel of Mr.
`
`Phillips due to his experience in patent-related matters and particularly due to his
`
`familiarity with the substantive and technical issues involved in this proceeding.
`
`This motion is authorized by the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition and
`
`Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response that was mailed on October 6,
`
`2014.
`
`Statement of Facts
`
`Mr. Phillips is a patent litigation attorney with more than 15 years of
`
`experience representing clients in cases involving consumer electronics, computer
`
`hardware and software, mobile devices and networking technologies. Mr. Phillips
`
`regularly litigates patent cases before various federal district courts and the
`
`International Trade Commission. Through his practice in such cases, Mr. Phillips
`
`has gained substantial experience in jury trials, bench trials, discovery, Markman
`
`hearings, and appeals. More particularly, as part of his practice, Mr. Phillips has
`
`conducted numerous depositions and cross examinations of technical witnesses,
`
`including experts who rendered opinions on technical issues. Mr. Phillips also has
`

`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: CBM2014-00193
`Attorney Docket: 39843-0006CP1
`particular experience and familiarity with the substantive and technical issues
`
`involved in Patent Office proceedings. For example, he acted as counsel pro hac
`
`vice representing Alarm.com in Patent Interference Proceeding No. 106,001
`
`(HHB).
`
`Mr. Phillips is familiar with the substantive and technical issues involved in
`

`
`Exhibits filed by Samsung, Patent Owner’s Preliminary Response, the Institution
`
`Decision, transcript of the Scheduling Conference call, and U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,061,598. Samsung contacted counsel for Patent Owner on May 11, 2015 to
`
`inform them Samsung planned to file a motion for Pro Hac Vice admission for Mr.
`
`Phillips. Patent Owner’s counsel stated that they would not oppose such a motion.
`
`Affidavit of Individual Seeking to Appear
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is accompanied by an Affidavit of
`
`Mr. Phillips as required by the Order Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice mailed
`
`October 6, 2014. Accordingly, Mr. Phillips submits that there is good cause under
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) for the Board to recognize Mr. Phillips as counsel pro hac
`
`vice during this proceeding.
