`

`
`California Institute of Technology
`Patent Owner
`
`IPR2017-00701
`U.S. Patent No. 7,421,032
`
`PETITIONER’S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE
`ADMISSION OF MARK D. SELWYN
`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R § 42.10(c)
`
`ActiveUS 165304506
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00701
`U.S. Patent No. 7,421,032
`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests that the Patent Trial
`
`and Appeal Board (“Board”) enter an order granting the pro hac vice admission of
`
`Mark D. Selwyn as back-up counsel for Apple in Case IPR2017-00701. Apple has
`
`conferred with counsel for Patent Owner, who does not oppose this motion.
`
`II. APPLICABLE RULE
`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.” “[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 PTAB set forth requirements for filing motions for pro hac vice
`
`admission in Unified Patents, Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639,
`
`Paper 7 (“Order – Authorizing Motion For Pro Hac Vice Admission – 37 C.F.R.
`
`§42.10”) (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013). A motion seeking pro hac vice must be filed no
`
`sooner than twenty-one (21) days after service of the petition, “must contain a
`
`statement of facts showing there is good cause for the Board to recognize counsel
`
`pro hac vice during the proceeding [,]” and must be accompanied by a declaration
`
`ActiveUS 165304506
`
`- 1 -
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00701
`U.S. Patent No. 7,421,032
`or affidavit of the individual seeking pro hac vice admission.” Id. at 2-3. The
`
`affidavit or declaration must attest to: (1) membership in good standing of the Bar
`
`of at least one State or the District of Columbia; (2) no suspensions or disbarments
`
`from any practice before any court or administrative body; (3) no application for
`
`admission to practice before any court or administrative body ever denied; (4) no
`
`sanctions or contempt citations imposed by any court or administrative body; (5)
`
`the individual seeking to appear has read and will comply with the Office Patent
`
`Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42
`
`of 37 C.F.R.; (6) the individual will be subject to the USPTO Rules of Professional
`
`Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under
`
`37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a); (7) all other proceedings before the Office for which the
`
`individual has applied to appear pro hac vice in the last three (3) years; and (8)
`
`familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.”
`
`III.
`
`FACTS SHOWING GOOD CAUSE FOR THE BOARD TO RECOGNIZE
`COUNSEL PRO HAC VICE DURING THE PROCEEDING
`On January 20, 2017, Petitioner filed three inter partes review petitions in
`
`IPR2017-00700, -00701, and -00728 directed to U.S. Patent No. 7,421,032 (“’032
`
`patent”). Patent Owner was served on the same day. Petitioner’s lead counsel,
`
`Richard Goldenberg, is a registered practitioner (Registration No. 38,095). Mark
`
`D. Selwyn, a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, seeks pro hac
`
`vice admission in this proceeding. Accompanying this motion as Exibit 1128 is the
`
`ActiveUS 165304506
`
`- 2 -
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00701
`U.S. Patent No. 7,421,032
`Declaration of Mark Selwyn in Support of Motion for Admission Pro Hac Vice
`
`(“Selwyn Decl.”).
`
`Mr. Selwyn is a member of good standing of the State Bar of California, the
`
`Bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the New York State Bar. See
`
`Selwyn Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1128). He has never been suspended or disbarred from
`
`practice before any court or administrative body, and has never been denied
`
`admission to practice before any court or administrative body. See Selwyn Decl.
`
`¶¶ 5-6 (Ex. 1128). No court or administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or
`
`contempt citations on Mr. Selwyn. See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 7 (Ex. 1128).
`
`Mr. Selwyn has read and will comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice
`
`Guide and the Board’s Rules of Practice for Trials set forth in part 42 of 37 C.F.R.
`
`See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 8 (Ex. 1128). Mr. Selwyn understands that he will be subject
`
`to the USPTO Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in 37 C.F.R. §§ 11.101 et
`
`seq. and disciplinary jurisdiction under 37 C.F.R. § 11.19(a). See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 9
`
`(Ex. 1128).
`
`Mr. Selwyn has not applied to appear pro hac vice in any proceeding before
`
`the Board within the past three years. See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 10 (Ex. 1128).
`
`As his accompanying declaration demonstrates, Mr. Selwyn has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. Mr.
`
`Selwyn is an experienced patent litigator with more than 20 years of experience.

`
`
`
`IPR2017-00701
`U.S. Patent No. 7,421,032
`See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 1 (Ex. 1128). Mr. Selwyn has reviewed the ’032 patent and its
`
`file history, as well as the Petition, Institution Decision, and the exhibits in this
`
`proceeding. See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 11 (Ex. 1128). Mr. Selwyn has been involved in
`
`numerous patent litigations and has litigated matters that concerned PTO rules and
`
`regulations. See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 4 (Ex. 1128). Furthermore, Mr. Selwyn
`
`represents the defendants, including Apple, in The California Institute of
`
`Technology v. Broadcom Ltd., et al., Case No. 2:16-cv-3714-GW-AGRx (“Caltech
`
`litigation”), one of the Related Matters identified in Apple’s Petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,421,0321. See Selwyn Decl. ¶ 12 (Ex. 1128).
`
`Through those litigations, Mr. Selwyn developed extensive experience with the
`
`subject matter at issue in this proceeding. For example, he was involved in
`
`drafting briefing regarding claim construction for the ’032 patent in the Caltech
`
`litigation.
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`admit Mark D. Selwyn pro hac vice in this proceeding.
