`Patent Owners’ Motion For Admission Pro Hac Vice Of Daralyn J. Durie
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Patent Owners Genentech, Inc.
`
`(“Genentech”) and City of Hope, by and through its attorneys, respectfully request
`
`that the Board admit Daralyn J. Durie pro hac vice in this proceeding, IPR2016-
`
`01373. Petitioner Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. has indicated that it does not
`
`oppose this motion.
`
`II. GOVERNING LAW, RULES, AND PRECEDENT
`Section 42.10(c) of 37 C.F.R. provides as follows:
`
`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.
`
`The Board has specified that a motion for pro hac vice admission shall be
`
`filed in accordance with the “ORDER-AUTHORIZING MOTION FOR PRO HAC
`
`VICE ADMISSION – 37 C.F.R. § 42.10” in Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron,
`
`LLC, Case No. IPR2013-00639 (“Representative Order”). The Representative
`
`Order states that the motion must “[c]ontain a statement of facts showing there is
`
`good cause for the Board to recognize counsel pro hac vice during the
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`proceeding,” and “[b]e accompanied by an affidavit or declaration of the individual
`
`seeking to appear” which attests to a number of facts concerning the counsel
`
`seeking admission pro hac vice specified in the Representative Order.
