`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2015-01103
`Patent 6,315,720
`Patent Owner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`
`Patent Celgene Corporation (“Celgene”) hereby moves pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.10(c) for the admission pro hac vice of Andrew S. Chalson in the
`
`present inter partes review, such that he may be appointed additional counsel for
`
`Patent Owner.
`
`I.
`
`Introduction and Background
`
`Counsel for Celgene consulted with counsel for Petitioner, Coalition for
`
`Affordable Drugs VI LLC (“CFAD”), and CFAD agreed it would not oppose the
`
`present motion for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Chalson.
`
`On October 27, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”)
`
`instituted inter partes review of Celgene’s U.S. Patent No. 6,315,720. See Paper
`
`22. The Board had previously authorized the parties to file motions for pro hac
`
`vice admission under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c). See Paper 3 at 2. Therefore, the
`
`present motion is proper at this time.
`
`As explained further below, Mr. Chalson is an experienced litigating
`
`attorney with an established familiarity of the subject matter at issue in this inter
`
`partes review. Accordingly, Celgene respectfully requests that Mr. Chalson be
`
`admitted pro hac vice, such that he may be appointed additional counsel for Patent
`
`Owner.
