`IPR2014-01195
`Patent Owner Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Rajendra Chiplunkar
`
`I.
`
`Statement Of Precise Relief Requested
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and Paper No. 3 authorizing the parties to
`
`file motions for pro hac vice admission under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Patent Owner
`

`
`This motion is filed in accordance with the “Order Authorizing Motion for Pro
`
`Hac Vice Admission” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7.
`
`Counsel for Petitioner has stated that Petitioner will not oppose this motion

`
`II. Time for Filing

`
`
`This Motion is being filed no sooner than twenty one (21) days after service

`
`III. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for the Board to Recognize
`Counsel Pro Hac Vice During the Proceeding

`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

`
`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

`counsel, Sharon A. Hwang is also a registered practitioner.
`
`2. Mr. Chiplunkar is an associate at the law firm of McAndrews, Held

`involving patent infringement in District Courts across the country. Mr.
`
`Chiplunkar is a member of the Illinois bar in good standing, is admitted to practice
`
`in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and has also been
`
`admitted to practice pro hac vice in other Federal District courts. Mr. Chiplunkar
`
`has experience in fact and expert document and deposition discovery and motion
`
`practice before U.S. District Courts in connection with patent infringement
`
`litigation matters.
`
`3.
`
`Prior to entering the field of law, Mr. Chiplunkar was employed with

`Patent Owner Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Rajendra Chiplunkar
`
`
`4. Mr. Chiplunkar has spent substantial time reviewing and analyzing the
`
`patent at issue in this proceeding, its file history, the Petition, the references cited,

`and the Declarations of Dr. Haas, the Petitioner’s Expert. Mr. Chiplunkar is
`
`familiar with the invalidity arguments advanced by the Petitioner. Additionally,
`
`Mr. Chiplunkar substantively contributed to the Patent Owner Response filed in

`
`proceeding.
