`PRO HAC VICE OF ROBERT J. GUNTHER, JR.
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2017-01488
`Patent Owner’s Motion For Admission Pro Hac Vice Of Robert J. Gunther, Jr.
`
`
`
`I. Statement of Precise Relief Requested
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Patent Owner Genentech, Inc.
`
`(“Genentech”) requests that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) admit
`
`Robert J. Gunther, Jr. pro hac vice in this proceeding, IPR2017-01488. Petitioner
`
`Pfizer Inc. has indicated that it does not oppose this motion.
`
`II. Statement of Facts Showing Good Cause for the Board to Recognize
`Counsel Pro Hac Vice During the Proceeding
`In accordance with 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. Section 42.10(c) indicates that “where 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 a showing that counsel is an
`
`experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in the proceeding.” The facts here establish good cause for the
`
`Board to recognize Robert J. Gunther, Jr. pro hac vice in this proceeding.
`
`1. Lead counsel, David L. Cavanaugh, is a registered practitioner. Backup
`
`counsel, Adam Brausa and Owen Allen are also registered practitioners.
`
`2. Counsel, Robert J. Gunther, Jr., is an experienced litigator and has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in the proceeding.
