`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners’ Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`IPR2014-00861 (U.S. 6,806,652)
`
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice admission is filed solely on behalf of Taiwan
`
`
`
`Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. and TSMC North America
`
`Corporation (collectively “TSMC” or “Petitioner”). TSMC respectfully moves
`
`that the Board recognize Mr. Anthony J. Fitzpatrick as counsel pro hac vice during
`
`this proceeding.
`
`
`
`The Board has previously approved unopposed motions to add Mr.
`
`Anthony J. Fitzpatrick as counsel pro hac vice in related proceedings concerning
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 6,853,142, 7,147,759, 7,604,716, 7,808,184, 6,805,779 and
`
`7,811,421.

`
`Petitioners’ Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`IPR2014-00861 (U.S. 6,806,652)
`
`
`
`The following statement of facts shows that there is good cause for the
`
`Board to recognize Mr. Fitzpatrick pro hac vice on behalf of Petitioner.
`
` In summary, Mr. Fitzpatrick 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. 6,806,652 is currently asserted against Petitioner in co-pending litigation, in
`
`the District of Massachusetts, 1:13-cv-11634-WGY (Zond v. Fujitsu, et al.) (“the
`
`co-pending litigation”). Mr. Fitzpatrick is a member of the Massachusetts bar in
`
`good standing, and is representing the Petitioner, in the co-pending litigation.
`
`Mr. Fitzpatrick 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. 6,806,652. Petitioner
`
`wishes to apply Mr. Fitzpatrick’s knowledge of the patent by employing him as
`
`counsel in this proceeding. Admission of Mr. Fitzpatrick pro hac vice will enable
`
`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.
`
`Fitzpatrick is an experienced litigation attorney having familiarity with the subject

`
`vice during this proceeding.
