`PETITIONER’S MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(C)
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner’s Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission
`
`IPR2016-01135 (Patent No. 5,812,789)
`Apple Inc. respectfully moves that the Board recognize Mr. Yakov
`
`
`
`
`
`Zolotorev as counsel pro hac vice during this proceeding. Patent Owner does not
`
`oppose this Motion.
`
`1. Time for Filing
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is being filed no sooner than
`
`twenty one (21) days after service of the Petition. See Notice of Filing Date,
`
`IPR2016-01135, paper no. 3, at 1.
`
`2. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for Counsel Pro Hac Vice
`
`Petitioner has been authorized to file motions seeking admission pro hac
`
`vice under 37 C.F.R. 42.10(c). Id. at 2. Petitioner’s lead and back-up counsel are
`
`registered practitioners:
`
`Lead Counsel: Andrew S. Ehmke, USPTO Reg. No. 50,271;
`
`Backup Counsel: David W. O’Brien, USPTO Reg. No. 40,107;
`
`Michael S. Parsons, USPTO Reg. No. 58,767;
`
`Adam C. Fowles, USPTO Reg. No. 65,005; and
`
`David L. Alberti, USPTO Reg. No. 43,465.
`
`The following statement of facts shows that there is good cause for the

`
`Petitioner in Parthenon Unified Memory Architecture LLC v. Apple Inc., Case No.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`2:15-cv-00621-JRG (E.D. Tex. filed May 1, 2015) (“the co-pending litigation”),
`
`where U.S. Patent No. 5,812,789 (“the ’789 patent”) is being asserted against the
`
`Petitioner. The co-pending litigation involves the same subject patent, and if
`
`admitted, Mr. Zolotorev will be involved in the depositions that occur in this
`
`proceeding.
`
`Mr. Zolotorev has analyzed prior art references and claim charts in
`
`connection with invalidity contentions and has been involved in forming claim
`
`construction positions related to the claimed inventions, all of which are relevant to
`
`this inter partes review proceeding. Petitioner wishes to apply Mr. Zolotorev’s
`
`knowledge of the ’789 patent by employing him as counsel in this proceeding.
`
`Admission of Mr. Zolotorev pro hac vice will enable Petitioner to avoid
`
`unnecessary expense and duplication of work between this proceeding and the co-
`
`pending litigation.
`
`Petitioner’s lead and backup counsel are registered practitioners and Mr.
`
`Zolotorev is an experienced litigation attorney having familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in this proceeding. Therefore, Petitioner respectfully submits that
`
`there is good cause for the Board to recognize Mr. Zolotorev as counsel pro hac
`
`vice during this proceeding.
