`Inter Partes Review Case No. 2015-00159
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`PETITIONER APPLE INC.’S
`UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION
`UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2015-00159
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0007IP1
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Petitioner, Apple Inc. (“Apple”),
`
`respectfully requests that the Board recognize Michael Rueckheim as counsel pro
`
`hac vice in this proceeding. Apple seeks the counsel of Mr. Rueckheim due to his
`
`experience in representing Apple in 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 that was mailed on November 13, 2014.
`
`On July 21, 2015 Apple contacted counsel for the Patent Owner, Michael
`
`Saunders at Farney Daniels PC, to discuss the Patent Owner’s position on this
`
`motion. Mr. Saunders stated that the Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`1. Statement of Facts
`
`Mr. Rueckheim is a patent litigation attorney with 6 years of experience
`
`representing clients in patent cases involving technologies such as memory,
`
`computer architecture, wireless transmission, and software. Apple provides
`
`Exhibit A, as evidence, which is Mr. Rueckheim’s biography.
`
`Mr. Rueckheim has particular experience and familiarity with the
`
`substantive and technical issues involved in this inter partes review proceeding.
`
`Mr. Rueckheim is counsel for Apple in the co-pending litigation involving the
`
`patent at issue in this proceeding, U.S. Patent. No. 7,296,121 (“the ’121 patent”):
`
`2
`
`
`
`Proceeding No.: IPR2015-00159
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0007IP1
`Case No. 1:13-cv-01796-GMS (Memory Integrity LLC v. Apple Inc.) in the United
`
`States District Court for the District of Delaware, filed on November 1, 2013. As
`
`counsel for Apple, Mr. Rueckheim is deeply involved in all aspects of the
`
`litigation, including claim construction and validity analysis, and therefore has
`
`established familiarity with the ’121 patent. Given Mr. Rueckheim’s experience
`
`with the ’121 patent, admission of Mr. Rueckheim pro hac vice will enable Apple
`
`to avoid unnecessary expense and duplication of work between this proceeding and
`
`the co-pending litigation.
`
`Apple will also maintain registered practitioners as lead and back-up counsel
`
`as indicated in Paper No. 6 at 2: W. Karl Renner, Reg. No. 41,265 (lead counsel)
`
`and Roberto Devoto, Reg. No. 55,108 (backup counsel).
`
`2. Affidavit of Individual Seeking to Appear
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is accompanied by an Affidavit of
`
`Mr. Rueckheim as required by the Order Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission in Case IPR2013-00639 at Paper 7.
`
`Accordingly, Apple submits that there is good cause under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.10(c) for the Board to recognize Mr. Rueckheim as counsel pro hac vice during
`
`this proceeding.
