`PETITIONER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE OF
`MARK MATUSCHAK

`

`Case No. IPR2014-00604; Docket No.: 0110198-00193 US2
`Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Mark Matuschak
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and Paper No. 4 authorizing the parties to file motions
`
`for pro hac vice admission under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Petitioner The Gillette Company requests
`
`that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) admit Mark Matuschak pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding, IPR2014-00604. Patent Owner Zond, LLC does not oppose.
`
`II.
`
`Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for the Board to Recognize Counsel Pro
`Hac Vice During the Proceeding
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Board may recognize counsel pro hac vice
`
`during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause, subject to the condition that lead counsel be
`
`a registered practitioner and to any other conditions as the Board may impose. Section 42.10(c)
`
`indicates that “where lead counsel is a registered practitioner, a motion to appear pro hac vice by
`
`counsel who is not a registered practitioner may be granted upon a showing that counsel is an
`
`experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue
`
`in the proceeding.” The facts here establish good cause for the Board to recognize Cosmin
`
`Maier pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`1.
`
`Lead counsel, Michael Diener, is a registered practitioner. Backup counsel,
`
`Larissa Park, is also a registered practitioner.
`
`2.
`
`Counsel, Mark Matuschak, is an experienced litigator and has an established
`
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding. Accompanying this motion as
`
`Exhibit 1117 is the November 11, 2014 Declaration of Mark Matuschak in Support of this
`
`Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (“Matuschak Decl.”). In his declaration, Mr. Matuschak
`
`states:
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the Commonwealth of
`
`Massachusetts and the Bar of the State of New York. I am admitted to practice
`
`ActiveUS 138024264v.2

`

`

`Case No. IPR2014-00604; Docket No.: 0110198-00193 US2
`Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Mark Matuschak
`
`before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, as well as the
`
`First, Second, Third and Sixth Circuits. I am also admitted to practice before the
`
`United States District Courts for the District of Massachusetts and Colorado. I
`
`have been admitted pro hac vice in many district courts including the Eastern and
`
`Northern Districts of Texas, the Northern and Central Districts of California, the
`
`District of Delaware, the Southern and Northern Districts of New York, the
`
`Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the Southern and Northern Districts of Indiana,
`
`the Southern District of Ohio and the District of Utah.
`
`Matuschak Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1117). Mr. Matuschak also states:
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I am counsel in
`
`Zond, LLC v. The Gillette Co. and The Procter & Gamble Co., No. 1:13-CV-
`
`11567-DJC (D. Mass.) (filed July 1, 2013), which is related to and involves the
`
`same patent at issue in this proceeding. ... I have represented The Procter &
`
`Gamble Company and/or The Gillette Company in multiple patent and trademark
`
`matters since 2008, including confidential patent-related analysis, and the
`
`following United States District Court cases: Georgia-Pacific Consumer
`
`Products LP v. The Procter & Gamble Co., No. 1:08-CV-3245 (N.D. Ga. 2008);
`
`The Procter & Gamble Co. v. Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP, No. 1:09-
`
`CV-=318 (S.D. Ohio 2009); The Gillette Co. and The Procter & Gamble Co. v.
`
`Sebron Co., No. 8:08-cv-00154 (C.D. Cal. 2008); Zond, Inc. v. The Gillette Co.
`
`and The Procter & Gamble Co., No. 1:13-cv-11567-JLT (D. Mass. 2013).
`
`Matuschak Decl. ¶¶ 10-11 (Ex. 1117).

`
`3.
`
`The Board has recognized “that there is a need for [a party] to have its related
`
`litigation counsel involved” in the inter partes review process. LKQ Corp. v. ClearLamp, LLC,
`
`Case IPR2013-00020 (Dec. 5, 2012), Paper 13.
`
`4.
`
`In his declaration, Mr. Matuschak also attests to each of the listed items required
`
`by the “Order—Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission” in Case IPR2013--00639,
`
`Paper 7 and agrees to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Rules of
`
`Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. See Matuschak Decl. ¶¶ 1-12 (Ex.
`
`1117).
`
`5.
`
`Finally, this proceeding is just one of six parallel proceedings before this Board
`
`that involve the same Petitioners and Patent Owner, as well as the same lead and backup counsel.
`
`See Case Nos. IPR2014-00477, IPR2014-00479, IPR2014-00578, IPR2014-00580, and
`
`IPR2014-00726. Mr. Matuschak’s admission is necessary to enable him to assist lead and
`
`backup counsel with litigation-related tasks—e.g., taking depositions of Patent Owner’s
`
`experts—in these concurrent proceedings.
