`
`
`Case No. IPR2018-01473
`U.S. Patent No. 6,611,676
`
`PATENT OWNER’S MOTION FOR PRO HAC VICE ADMISSION OF
`MARY PHENG UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(C)
`
`
`
`IPR2018-01473
`Patent 6,611,676
`
`
`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 Mary Pheng in
`
`this proceeding. Patent Owner seeks Ms. Pheng’s assistance because of her
`
`experience assisting Patent Owner in its parallel litigation and her familiarity with
`
`the substantive and technical issues involved in this proceeding.
`
`1.
`
`Statement of Facts
`
`Patent Owner’s lead counsel in this proceeding, Cyrus A. Morton, is a
`
`registered practitioner. Ms. Pheng has over three years of experience as a patent
`
`litigation attorney, and has experience in fact and expert discovery, claim
`
`construction, and motion practice in patent infringement matters in Federal
`
`district court.
`
`Ms. Pheng 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 Ms. Pheng, represent Patent Owner
`
`in each of these cases. Ms. Pheng is actively involved in all aspects of these
`
`cases. Therefore, good cause exists to admit Ms. Pheng pro hac vice in this
`
`proceeding.
