`IPR2018-01152, -01153, -01154, and -01240 directed to U.S. Patent No. 8,698,558
`
`(“’588 patent”). Patent Owner was served on the same day. Petitioner’s lead
`
`counsel, David L. Cavanaugh is a registered practitioner (Registration No. 36,476).
`
`

`
`
`
`James M. Dowd, a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP, seeks
`
`IPR2018-01152
`U.S. Patent No. 8,698,558
`
`
`pro hac vice admission in this proceeding. Accompanying this motion as Exhibit
`
`1024 is the Declaration of James M. Dowd in Support of Motion for Admission
`
`Pro Hac Vice (“Dowd Decl.”).
`
`Mr. Dowd is a member of good standing of the State Bar of California, the
`
`District of Columbia Bar, and the Virginia State Bar. Dowd Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1024).
`
`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. Dowd Decl. ¶¶ 5-6 (Ex. 1024). No court or
`
`administrative body has ever imposed sanctions or contempt citations on Mr.
`
`Dowd. Dowd Decl. ¶ 7 (Ex. 1024).
`
`Mr. Dowd 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.
`
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 8 (Ex. 1024). Mr. Dowd 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). Dowd Decl. ¶ 9 (Ex. 1024).
`
`Within the last three years, Mr. Dowd has applied to appear pro hac vice in
`
`the following proceedings:
`
` Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology, Case IPR2017-00210;
`
` Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology, Case IPR2017-00219;
`-3-
`
`
`
`
`
` Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology, Case IPR2017-002971;
`
`IPR2018-01152
`U.S. Patent No. 8,698,558
`
`
` Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology, Case IPR2017-00700;
`
` Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology, Case IPR2017-00701;
`
` Apple, Inc. v. California Institute of Technology, Case IPR2017-00728.
`
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 10 (Ex. 1024).
`
`As his accompanying declaration demonstrates, Mr. Dowd has an
`
`established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in this proceeding. Mr.
`
`Dowd is an experienced patent litigator with over 21 years of experience. Dowd
`
`Decl. ¶ 2 (Ex. 1024). Mr. Dowd has reviewed the ’558 patent and its file history,
`
`as well as the Petition, Institution Decision, and the exhibits in this proceeding.
`
`Dowd Decl. ¶ 11 (Ex. 1024). Mr. Dowd has been involved in numerous patent
`
`litigations, has litigated matters that concerned PTO rules and regulations, and has
`
`previously appeared pro hac vice before the Board. Dowd Decl. ¶ 4 (Ex. 1024).
`
`Furthermore, Mr. Dowd represents Apple Inc. (“Apple”), identified by Petitioner
`
`Intel as a real party-in-interest in the Apple litigation, in Qualcomm Inc. v. Apple
`
`Inc., No. 3:17-cv-1375 (S.D. Cal.) (the “Apple litigation”), which is a related
`
`matter to this proceeding. Dowd Decl. ¶ 12 (Ex. 1024). In addition, Mr. Dowd
`
`previously litigated the validity of the ’558 patent in Certain Mobile Electronic
`
`
`1 IPR2017-00423 was consolidated with IPR2017-00297.

`U.S. Patent No. 8,698,558
`
`
`No. 337-ITC-1065 (the “Apple ITC litigation”), which is also a related matter to
`
`this proceeding). Dowd Decl. ¶ 13 (Ex. 1024). Through those litigations, Mr.
`
`Dowd developed extensive experience with the subject matter at issue in this
`
`proceeding. For example, he was involved in drafting briefing regarding claim
`
`construction for, and the validity of, the ’558 patent in the related matters. Dowd
`
`Decl. ¶ 13 (Ex. 1024). Mr. Dowd also took and defended expert depositions in the
`
`related matters regarding invalidity of the ’558 patent. Dowd Decl. ¶ 13 (Ex.
`
`1024).
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`admit James M. Dowd pro hac vice in this proceeding.
