`
` HTC’s Mot. for PHV of Curt Holbreich
`
`attached Declaration of Curt Holbreich in Support of Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`
`Admission (“Holbreich Decl.”) (Ex. 1041), shows that there is good cause for the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) to recognize Mr. Holbreich pro hac vice
`
`in this proceeding.
`
`Lead counsel for HTC, Joseph A. Micallef, is a registered practitioner and is
`
`experienced in proceedings before the USPTO.
`
`Mr. Holbreich is an experienced litigation attorney. Mr. Holbreich has been
`
`a litigating attorney for more than twenty years, and has been involved in numerous
`
`patent litigation cases in federal courts and before the International Trade
`
`Commission. Mr. Holbreich’s experience includes representing a wide range of
`
`clients in complex intellectual property litigation, and he is currently counsel for
`
`HTC in the related district court litigation involving the 789 Patent. Mr.
`
`Holbreich is a member in good standing of the California State Bar, with no
`
`suspensions or disbarments from practice, nor any application for admission to

`
`Circuit, and Ninth Circuit, as well as the United States District Courts for the

`
`(415) 772-7446.
`
`Mr. Holbreich has worked with lead counsel in all aspects of HTC’s
`
`participation in this proceeding. As such, he has reviewed and is familiar with
`
`(i) the 789 patent, (ii) the prior art relied upon, and (iii) the legal and factual
`
`arguments at issue. Mr. Holbreich has also been involved in a number of other
`
`proceedings before the Board and is familiar with its established practices.
`
`Accordingly, he has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding and the conduct of the proceeding to date.
`
`Mr. Holbreich 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 37 C.F.R, and he agrees to be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional
`
`Conduct set forth in 37 C.P.R. §§11.01 et seq., and to disciplinary jurisdiction
`
`under 37 C.P.R. §11.19(a). Mr. Holbreich has not applied to appear pro hac
`
`vice in any other proceedings before the Office in the last three years.
`
`IV. ANALYSIS
`The facts contained in the Statement of Facts above, and contained in the
`
`Holbreich Declaration (Ex. 1041), establish that there is good cause to admit Mr.
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`IPR2016-00923
`
`Holbreich pro hac vice in this proceeding under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c). HTC’s lead

` HTC’s Mot. for PHV of Curt Holbreich
`
`counsel is a registered practitioner, Mr. Holbreich is an experienced litigating
`
`attorney, and Mr. Holbreich has an established familiarity with the subject matter
`
`at issue in the proceeding. Therefore, HTC respectfully submits that there is good
`
`cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Holbreich as pro hac vice counsel during this
`
`proceeding.
