`PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(C)
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`IPR2014-00252
`U.S. Patent No. 8,107,786
`
`Petitioner Netflix, Inc. respectfully moves that the Board recognize Mr.
`
`Clement S. Roberts as counsel pro hac vice during this proceeding.
`
`1. Time for Filing
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is being filed no sooner than
`
`twenty one (21) days after service of the petition.
`
`2. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for Counsel Pro Hac Vice
`
`Petitioner has been authorized to file motions seeking admission pro hac
`
`vice under 37 C.F.R. 42.10(c). (Paper No. 3 at 2.). Petitioner’s lead and back-
`
`up counsel are registered practitioners:
`
`Lead Counsel:
`
`Andrew S. Ehmke, USPTO Reg. No. 50,271;
`
`Backup Counsel: Dustin Johnson, USPTO Reg. No. 47,684.
`
`The following statement of facts shows that there is good cause for the Board to
`
`recognize Mr. Roberts pro hac vice on behalf of the Petitioner.
`
`In summary, Mr. Roberts is an experienced litigator, has established
`
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding from his participation
`
`in co-pending litigation involving the subject patent, and if admitted, will be
`
`involved in the depositions that occur in this proceeding. Specifically, U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,107,786 is currently asserted against Petitioner in a co-pending litigation,
`
`OpenTV, Inc., et al. v. Netflix, Inc., 3:14-cv-01525-RS, 5:14-cv-01723-RS (N.D.
`
`
`
`IPR2014-00252
`Petitioner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`U.S. Patent No. 8,107,786
`Cal.) (“the co-pending litigation”). Mr. Roberts is a member of the California bar
`
`in good standing, and is representing the Petitioner, Netflix, Inc., in the co-pending
`
`litigation.
`
`Mr. Roberts has analyzed prior art references and claim charts in connection
`
`with invalidity contentions and has been involved in forming claim construction
`
`positions related to the claimed inventions, all of which are relevant to the petition
`
`requesting inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,107,786. Netflix, Inc. wishes
`
`to apply Mr. Roberts’ knowledge of the patent by employing him as counsel in this
`
`proceeding. Admission of Mr. Roberts pro hac vice will enable the Petitioner to
`
`avoid unnecessary expense and duplication of work between this proceeding and
`
`the co-pending litigation.
`
`Petitioner’s lead and backup counsel are registered practitioners and Mr.
`
`Roberts is an experienced litigation attorney having familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in this proceeding. Therefore, Netflix, Inc. respectfully submits that
`
`there is good cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Roberts as counsel pro hac vice
`
`during this proceeding.
