`P.O. Box 1450
`Alexandria, VA 22313-1450
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories S.A., and Dr.
`
`Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (“Petitioners”) respectfully request pro hac vice
`
`admission of Robert Frederickson III in this proceeding, IPR2019-00329,
`
`regarding U.S. Patent No. 9,687,454 (“the ’454 patent”).
`
`I.
`
`THE REQUEST IS TIMELY
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s “Notice of Filing Date Accorded to Petition and
`
`Time for Filing Patent Owner Preliminary Response,” dated December 7, 2018
`
`(Paper No. 6), authorizing the parties to file motions for pro hac vice admission
`
`under 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) and in accordance with the guidance specified in the
`
`“Order Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission,” entered in Case IPR2013-
`
`00639 (Paper No. 7), (“PHV Admission Order”), Petitioners Dr. Reddy’s
`
`Laboratories S.A. and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. respectfully request that
`
`the Board allow Robert Frederickson III to appear pro hac vice on their behalf in
`
`this proceeding. According to the PHV Admission Order, pro hac vice motions
`
`can be filed no sooner than (21) days after service of the Petition. This pro hac
`
`vice motion is filed more than 21 days after the service of the Petition and is
`
`therefore timely. Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`II.
`
`REASONS THE REQUESTED RELIEF SHOULD BE GRANTED
`
`As set forth in the Statement of Material Facts below, and as required by 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.10(c), Petitioners have demonstrated good cause to admit Mr.
`
`Frederickson pro hac vice in this proceeding. In particular, Petitioners’ lead
`2
`
`
`
`counsel is a registered practitioner, and Mr. Frederickson is an experienced
`
`litigating attorney having an established familiarity with the subject matter at
`
`issue in this proceeding.
`
`Furthermore, this motion is being filed more than twenty one days after
`
`service of the petition; includes a statement of facts showing good cause for the
`
`Board to recognize Mr. Frederickson pro hac vice; and is being filed
`
`concurrently with Exhibit 1026, the Declaration of Robert Frederickson III in
`
`Support of Motion For Pro Hac Vice Admission (“Frederickson Decl.”), all in
`
`accordance with the PHV Admission Order.
`
`III.
`
`STATEMENT OF MATERIAL FACTS
`
`1.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) provides that “[t]he 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. For example, where the 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 showing that counsel is an
`
`experienced litigating attorney and has an established familiarity with the subject
`
`matter at issue in the proceeding.”
`
`2.

`
`practicing law since 2007 and focuses his practice in the area of patent
`
`litigation. (Frederickson Decl., ¶ 4).
`
`4.
`
`Mr. Frederickson also has an established familiarity with the precise
`
`subject matter at issue in this proceeding. In the course of this representation,
`
`he has developed a strong familiarity with the ’454 patent, its prosecution history,
`
`the general subject matter to which the ’454 patent is directed, and the prior art
`
`references relied upon by Petitioners. (Frederickson Decl., ¶ 5). Additionally,
`
`Mr. Frederickson has reviewed the Petition and accompanying Exhibits filed in
`
`this matter and all other papers associated with this proceeding. (Id.).
`
`5.
`
`Mr. Frederickson has attested to the each of the requirements set
`
`forth in paragraph 2(b)(i)-(viii) of the “Order Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac
`
`Vice Admission” in Case IPR2013-00639, Paper 7 at 3. (Frederickson
`
`Decl., ¶¶ 5-11).
`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`
`In view of the foregoing, Petitioners respectfully submit that the
`
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) have been satisfied, and request an Order
`
`permitting Robert Frederickson III to appear pro hac vice on their behalf in this
`
`4
