`Patent 8,218,481 B2
`
`Mr. Stiernberg has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. (Id., ¶ 9). U.S. Patent No. 8,218,481 is involved in parallel litigation filed
`
`by Patent Owner against Samsung in the United States District Court for the District
`
`of Delaware (Civil Action No. 15-cv-545-SLR). (Id.). Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sul-
`
`livan, LLP represents Samsung in this litigation. (Id.). Mr. Stiernberg has appeared as
`
`counsel for Samsung in this litigation and is actively involved in all aspects of the dis-
`
`trict court proceedings. (Id.). Therefore, good cause exists to admit Mr. Stiernberg pro
`
`hac vice in this proceeding. Further, in view of an upcoming teleconference with the
`
`Board, currently scheduled for Monday, December 19, 2016 at 12:30 PM ET, Sam-
`
`sung respectfully requests an expedited decision on this Motion.
