`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Patent Owner (“Paice LLC & the Abell
`
`Foundation, Inc., hereinafter PAICE & ABELL”) respectfully requests that the
`
`Board recognize William Peter Guarnieri as counsel pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding. Patent Owner seeks the counsel of William Peter Guarnieri due to his
`
`experience in representing PAICE & ABELL in other patent-related matters and
`
`particularly due to his familiarity with the substantive and technical issues involved
`
`in this proceeding. This motion is authorized by the Notice of Filing Date
`
`Accorded to Petition and Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response that
`
`was mailed on September 16, 2014.
`
`Statement of Facts
`
`Mr. Guarnieri is an attorney whose practice focuses on patent litigation in
`
`Federal District Courts and Section 337 proceedings before the International Trade
`
`Commission. He has been involved in cases covering a broad range of
`
`technologies, including complex software applications, 3D graphics accelerators,
`
`portable audio docks, consumer digital cameras, hybrid-electric vehicles, and
`
`photonic integrated circuits. Through his practice in such cases, Mr. Guarnieri has
`
`gained substantial experience in trials, discovery procedures, depositions,
`
`Markman hearings, and briefing pleadings on various aspects of patent law. Mr.
`
`Guarnieri received his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 2011,
`
`where he was on the Executive Board of the American Criminal Law Review. He
`
`2
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2014-01416
`Attorney Docket: 36351-0015IP2
`received his B.A. in Computer Science from Duke University in 2004. Prior to
`
`practicing law, Mr. Guarnieri was a software consultant/developer for a software
`
`company in the DC area. Mr. Guarnieri was involved in developing enterprise
`
`software systems for a number of clients, including the U.S. Army’s Army
`
`Knowledge Online portal. PAICE & ABELL provides Exhibit A, as evidence, Mr.
`
`Guarnieri’s biography.
`
`Mr. Guarnieri also has particular experience and familiarity with the
`
`substantive and technical issues involved in this inter partes review proceeding.
`
`Mr. Guarnieri represents PAICE & ABELL in two related matters: Paice LLC, et.
`
`al. v. Hyundai Motor Co., et. al., No. CIV. WDQ-12-0499 (D. Md.) and Paice
`
`LLC, et. al. v. Ford Motor Company, No. CIV. WDQ-14-cv-00492 (D. Md.). Both
`
`cases are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland,
`
`and both involve U.S. Patent 7,104,347, as well as other patents in the same
`
`family. In particular, Mr. Guarnieri has been intimately involved in every aspect of
`
`Paice v. Hyundai, which has been ongoing since early 2012. PAICE & ABELL
`
`have invested significant financial resources in each of these related matters in
`
`which Mr. Guarnieri is serving as counsel. Moreover, through his representation in
`
`the related matters, PAICE & ABELL has developed a particular relationship with
`
`Mr. Guarnieri such that PAICE & ABELL desires to continue the relationship with
`
`Mr. Guarnieri for the purpose of this proceeding.
