`MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION OF
`ERIC R. HUNT PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(C)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`I.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.10(c) and the Board’s “Order Authorizing Motion
`
`for Pro Hac Vice Admission – 37 C.F.R. §42.10,” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper
`
`7, entered October 15, 2013, incorporated by Paper 4 in the present case, Petitioner
`
`Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Mylan”) requests that the Board admit Eric R. Hunt
`
`pro hac vice in this proceeding. Counsel for Mylan have met and conferred with
`
`counsel for Patent Owner, and Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS.
`
`Pursuant to 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. For example, where the 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 showing that counsel is an
`experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity with
`the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
`
`37 C.F.R. §42.10(c). The facts, supported by the attached Declaration of Eric R.
`
`Hunt in Support of Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice (Exhibit 1062) (“Hunt
`
`Decl.”), establish good cause to admit Mr. Hunt pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`1.
`
`Lead counsel Deanne M. Mazzochi is a registered practitioner before
`
`the USPTO.
`
`2.
`
`Back-up counsel Paul J. Molino is a registered practitioner before the
`
`USPTO.
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Eric R. Hunt is an experienced litigating attorney. Mr. Hunt has been
`
`a litigating attorney nearly 10 years. (Hunt Decl. ¶ 1). Mr. Hunt has been
`
`litigating patent cases for nearly 10 years. (Id. ¶ 2). Mr. Hunt is a member in good
`
`standing of the Illinois State Bar, with no suspensions or disbarments from
`
`practice, nor any application for admission to practice denied, nor any sanctions or
`
`contempt citations, and is admitted to practice in United States Court of Appeals
`
`for the Federal Circuit, United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and
`
`the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. (Id. ¶¶ 3-5).
`
`4. Mr. Hunt has familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding and, more specifically, he is familiar with the patent at issue in this
`
`proceeding—U.S. Patent No. 6,331,415 (“the ‘415 patent”). (Hunt Decl. ¶ 6). Mr.
`
`Hunt is advising Mylan on patent matters relating to the subject matter claimed in
`
`the patent at issue in this proceeding. (Id.). Mr. Hunt was involved in the strategy
`
`and drafting of Mylan’s Petition for Inter Partes Review (the “Petition”) and, as a
`
`result, Mr. Hunt has become intimately familiar with the subject matter of the ‘415
`
`patent and the prior art raised in the Petition. (Id.).
`
`5. Mr. Hunt has read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial
`
`Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules for Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of
`
`the C.F.R, and he agrees to be subject to the USPTO Code of Professional
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Responsibility set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§11.101 et seq., and to disciplinary
`
`jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. §11.19(a). (Hunt Decl. ¶¶ 7-8).
`
`6.
`
`In the last three (3) years, Mr. Hunt has not applied to appear pro hac
`
`vice in an inter partes review proceeding. (Hunt Decl. ¶ 9).
`
`III. ANALYSIS.
`
`The facts contained in the Statement of Facts above, and contained in the
`
`Hunt Declaration, establish that there is good cause to admit Mr. Hunt pro hac vice
`
`in this proceeding under 37 C.F.R. §42.10(c). Lead and backup counsel are
`
`registered practitioners, Mr. Hunt is an experienced litigating attorney, and Mr.
`
`Hunt has an established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the
`
`proceeding.
`
`IV. CONCLUSION.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Mylan respectfully requests that the Board admit
`
`Eric R. Hunt pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
