`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and the Notice of Filing Date Accorded to
`
`Petition entered on August 29, 2018 (Paper 5) in this proceeding, Patent Owner,
`
`INVT SPE LLC, respectfully requests pro hac vice admission of John K. Harting
`

`1.
`
`Statement of Facts
`
`Patent Owner’s lead counsel in this proceeding, Cyrus A. Morton, is a
`
`registered practitioner. Mr. Harting is an experienced patent litigation attorney,
`
`with over seven years of experience in fact and expert discovery, Markman
`
`hearings, five patent infringement trials, oral arguments in patent infringement
`
`matters before Federal district courts, and appeals to the United States Court of
`
`Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
`
`Mr. Harting has established familiarity with the subject matter at issue in
`
`this proceeding. U.S. Patent No. 6,611,676 is asserted by Patent Owner in three
`
`cases pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey
`
`(Civil Action Nos. 2:17-cv-06522-JMV-JBC, 2:17-cv-03738-JMV-JBC, and
`
`2:17-cv-03740-JMV-JBC). Robins Kaplan LLP, and Mr. Harting, represent
`
`Patent Owner in each of these cases. Mr. Harting is actively involved in all
`
`2
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01473
`Patent 6,611,676
`
`
`aspects of these cases. Therefore, good cause exists to admit Mr. Harting pro hac
`
`vice in this proceeding.
`
`2. Affidavit or Declaration of Individual Seeking to Appear
`
`This Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission is accompanied by the required
`
`Declaration of Mr. Harting.
