`

`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc.
`
`(collectively, “Petitioners”), respectfully request the pro hac vice admission of

`
`I. Statement of Facts
`
`1.
`
`Patent Owner has informed Petitioners that their Patent Owner
`
`Responses that will be forthcoming in these proceedings will include declarations
`
`from a number of experts. Thus, Petitioners anticipate the need for additional
`
`resources being assigned to these proceedings in the coming months. Accordingly,
`
`Petitioners respectfully request the pro hac vice admission of Ms. Suzuki, who is a
`
`very experienced patent litigator that has established a familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in these proceedings.
`
`2. Ms. Suzuki is a member in good standing of the New York and
`
`California Bars. She has not had any application denied for admission to practice,
`
`nor has she been sanctioned, cited for contempt, suspended or disbarred from
`
`practice, before any court or administrative body.
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`3. Ms. Suzuki is a litigation attorney with over 11 years of experience
`
`litigating patents in the pharmaceutical field.
`
`4. Ms. Suzuki is familiar with the subject matter at issue in these
`
`proceedings, including U.S. Pat. Nos. 8,751,131 (“the ‘131 patent”), 8,669,290
`
`(“the ‘290 patent”), 8,927,606 (“the ‘606 patent”) and 8,871,813 (“the ‘813
`
`patent”), the Petitions relating to these four patents filed by Petitioners, and the
`
`underlying technology as shown in her accompanying February 4, 2016
`
`Declaration (“Suzuki Declaration,” Ex. 1075).
`
`5.
`
`In her declaration, Ms. Suzuki also attests to each of the listed items
`
`required by the Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission – 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.10 in IPR2013-00639. Suzuki Declaration ¶¶ 1-11 (Ex. 1075).
