`

`
`
`IPR 2016-00041
`PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE OF JAMES W. DABNEY
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Petitioner Costco Wholesale Corporation
`
`
`
`respectfully requests that the Board admit James W. Dabney pro hac vice as co-
`
`counsel for the Petitioner in this proceeding. The following facts are supported by
`
`the Declaration of James W. Dabney (Ex. 1035), submitted herewith:
`
`1. Mr. Dabney is a member in good standing of the Bars of the States of
`
`New York and New Jersey and has extensive experience with patent
`
`law. Ex. 1035 ¶¶ 3-4; see also Ex. 1035 ¶¶ 6-8.
`
`2. Mr. Dabney is lead trial counsel for the Petitioner in Robert Bosch
`
`LLC v. Alberee Products, Inc., et al., No. 12-574-LPS (D. Del.) (the
`
`“Delaware Action”), in which the Respondent is asserting against
`
`Petitioner the same patent which is the subject of this proceeding. Ex.
`
`1035 ¶ 5.
`
`3. As a result of his representation of Petitioner in the Delaware Action,
`
`Mr. Dabney has deep familiarity with the factual and legal issues that
`
`are raised in this proceeding. Ex. 1035 ¶ 5.
`
`4. Mr. Dabney has read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials, as set
`
`forth in Part 42 of 37 C.F.R. and agrees to be subject to the United
`
`States Patent and Trademark Rules of Professional Conduct set forth

`IPR 2016-00041
`PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR ADMISSION PRO HAC VICE OF JAMES W. DABNEY
`
`
`
`
`in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 11.19(a). Ex. 1035 ¶¶ 10-11.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, good cause exists to admit Mr. Dabney pro hac
`
`vice in this inter partes review proceeding. It would be a hardship on Petitioner if
`
`Mr. Dabney were not able to act as co-counsel and participate fully in the conduct
`
`of this proceeding.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully submits
`
`that
`
`this Motion for
`
`Admission Pro Hac Vice of James W. Dabney be granted.
`
`
`
`Dated: July 1, 2016
