` PATENT OWNER’S MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`This unopposed Motion for Pro Hac Vice admission is filed on behalf of
`
`Zond, LLC (“Zond” or “Patent Owner”). Zond respectfully moves that the Board
`
`recognize Mr. Etai Lahav as counsel pro hac vice during this proceeding.
`
`Petitioners do not oppose this motion.
`
`
`1 Case IPR 2014-00988 has been joined with the instant proceeding.
`
`
`
`1. Time for Filing
`
`Patent No. 7,147,759
`IPR2014-01083
`
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is being filed no sooner than
`
`twenty-one (21) days after service of the petition. See Unified Patents, Inc. v.
`
`Parallel Iron, LLC, IPR2013-00639, Paper No. 7.
`
`2. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for Admission of Counsel
`
`Pro Hac Vice
`
`Patent Owner has been authorized to file motions seeking admission pro
`
`hac vice under 37 C.F.R. 42.10(c). (Paper No. 3). Patent Owner’s lead and back-
`
`up counsel are registered practitioners:
`
`Lead Counsel: Dr. Gregory J. Gonsalves, USPTO Reg. No. 43,639; and
`
`Backup Counsel: Bruce Barker, USPTO Reg. No. 33,291.
`
`Mr. Lahav is a skilled litigator, has extensively participated in the co-
`
`pending litigation in federal district court involving the patent at issue in this
`
`proceeding, and if admitted, will be involved with the depositions that occur in
`
`this proceeding. U.S. Patent No. 7,147,759 is currently asserted by the Patent
`
`Owner in co-pending litigation, in the District of Massachusetts, 1:13-cv-11577-
`
`LTS (Zond v. AMD, et al.) (“the co-pending litigation”). Mr. Lahav is a member
`
`of the New York bar in good standing, and is representing the Patent Owner in the
`
`co-pending litigation.
`
`Mr. Lahav has analyzed prior art references and claim charts in connection
`
`2
`
`
`
`with invalidity contentions and has been involved in forming claim construction
`
`Patent No. 7,147,759
`IPR2014-01083
`
`
`positions related to the claimed inventions, all of which are relevant to the petition
`
`requesting inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,147,759. Patent Owner wishes
`
`to apply Mr. Lahav’s knowledge of the patent by employing him as counsel in this
`
`proceeding. Admission of Mr. Lahav pro hac vice will enable Patent Owner to
`
`avoid unnecessary expense and duplication of work between this proceeding and
`
`the co-pending litigation.
`
`Patent Owner’s lead and backup counsel are registered practitioners and
`
`Mr. Lahav is an experienced litigation attorney having familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in this proceeding. Therefore, Patent Owner respectfully submits
`
`that there is good cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Lahav as counsel pro hac
`
`vice during this proceeding.
`
`Patent Owner is filing (or has filed) motions to admit three additional
`
`attorneys (Tigran Vardanian, Etai Lahav, and Maria Granovsky) pro hac vice to
`
`all the petitions associated with U.S. Patents 6853142, 7147759, 7604716,
`
`7808184, 7811421, 6896775, 8125155, and 6896773. Given that there are 25
`
`such petitions instituted over eight different patents, with numerous petitioners,
`
`Patent Owner needs additional attorneys admitted to be able to address the several
`
`depositions and related preparation that are expected to take place in the coming
`
`weeks.
