`
`Case No. IPR2016-00287; Docket No.: 0107131-00351 US3
`Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Cosmin Maier
`
`I.
`
`Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and Paper No. 4 authorizing the parties to file motions
`
`for pro hac vice admission under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Petitioner Intel Corporation requests that
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) admit Cosmin Maier pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding, IPR2016-00287. Patent Owner DSS Technology Management, Inc. does not
`
`oppose.
`
`II.
`
`Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for the Board to Recognize Counsel Pro
`Hac Vice During the Proceeding
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Board may recognize counsel pro hac vice
`
`during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause, subject to the condition that lead counsel be
`
`a registered practitioner and to any other conditions as the Board may impose. Section 42.10(c)
`
`indicates that “where lead counsel is a registered practitioner, a motion to appear pro hac vice by
`
`counsel who is not a registered practitioner may be granted upon a showing that counsel is an
`
`experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue
`
`in the proceeding.” The facts here establish good cause for the Board to recognize Cosmin
`
`Maier pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`1.
`
`Lead counsel, Grant Rowan, is a registered practitioner. Backup counsel, Yung-
`
`Hoon Ha, is also a registered practitioner.
`
`2.
`
`Counsel, Cosmin Maier, is an experienced litigator and has an established
`
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding. Accompanying this motion as
`
`Exhibit 1029 is the July 19, 2016 Declaration of Cosmin Maier in Support of this Motion for
`
`Admission Pro Hac Vice (“Maier Decl.”). In his declaration, Mr. Maier states:
`
`ActiveUS 156728068v.1

`
`

`
`Case No. IPR2016-00287; Docket No.: 0107131-00351 US3
`Petitioner’s Unopposed Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice of Cosmin Maier
`
`I am a member in good standing of the Bar of the State of New York, and am
`
`admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal
`
`Circuit, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
`
`and the Eastern District of New York, and all New York State courts. I have been
`
`admitted pro hac vice in many district courts including the Eastern District of
`
`Texas, the Northern and Central Districts of California, and the Western District
`
`of Washington.
`
`Maier Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1029). Mr. Maier also states:
`
`I am familiar with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. I am counsel in
`
`DSS Tech. Mgm’t, Inc. v. Intel Corp. et al., Case No. 6:15-cv-00130 (E.D. Tex.)
`
`(filed Feb. 16, 2015), which is related to and involves the same patent at issue in
`
`this proceeding. ... I received B.S.E. and M.S.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering
`
`from the University of Michigan in 2003 and 2004, respectively.
`
`Maier Decl. ¶¶ 10-11 (Ex. 1029).
`
`3.
`
`The Board has recognized “that there is a need for [a party] to have its related
`
`litigation counsel involved” in the inter partes review process. LKQ Corp. v. ClearLamp, LLC,
`
`Case IPR2013-00020 (Dec. 5, 2012), Paper 13.
`
`4.
`
`In his declaration, Mr. Maier also attests to each of the listed items required by the
`
`“Order—Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission” in Case IPR2013--00639, Paper 7
`
`and agrees to be subject to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Rules of
`
`Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. See Maier Decl. ¶¶ 1-12 (Ex.
`
`1029).

`
`5.
`
`Finally, this proceeding is just one of four parallel proceedings before this Board
`
`that involve the same Petitioners and Patent Owner, as well as the same lead and backup counsel.
`
`See Case Nos. IPR2016-00287, IPR2016-00288, IPR2016-00289, and IPR2016-00290. Mr.
`
`Maier’s admission is necessary to enable him to assist lead and backup counsel with litigation-
`
`related tasks—e.g., taking depositions of Patent Owner’s experts—in these concurrent
`
`proceedings.
`
`III. Conclusion
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board admit Cosmin
`
`Maier pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`Respectfully Submitted,
